◎Reliable Partner◎
"Okay, this is really not a small matter, you can think about it slowly, there is no rush. Then I will go back to the room first, and I will take you out for dinner at six o'clock."
Fang Jing stood up and walked to the door, but after thinking about it, she stopped and turned back to say something to Wei Xuan: "If you have any concerns about what I just said, you can tell us directly and we can discuss it together. Or if you are worried about conflicts in the future, we can also sign a contract and put all the terms in the contract in advance, so you should feel more at ease. Okay, I won't say more. You are very tired from shopping today, you should take a rest."
When the door was closed again, Wei Xuan began to worry about the empty room.
To be honest, Fang Jing is a pretty good person, but you have to be cautious when doing business with her. It's not just about being a good person. There are too many things involved.
Let’s not talk about interests for now. If there is a disagreement, who should they listen to if both are bosses?
The store hasn't even opened yet, but the most obvious problem has already been put before the two of them, which is the style positioning of the clothing store. She and Fang Jing obviously don't like the same type of clothes, and it can even be said that they are very different. There is no right or wrong in this, but it is a taboo for opening a clothing store.
Anyway, after thinking about it over and over again, Wei Xuan was so upset that her head was about to explode. She still felt that the idea proposed by Fang Jing was not appropriate.
"Hey~," she rubbed her hair, fell on the bed, and said depressedly: "If only Jiang Che was here, he would definitely be able to give me a good idea."
...
...
In the evening, when Fang Jing knocked on the door and called Wei Xuan to come for dinner, Wei Xuan was still a little embarrassed to face her. After all, although she did not explicitly reject Fang Jing's partnership plan, she actually knew in her heart that she would probably not agree to this matter.
Apart from the fact that friends are not suitable to do business together, she believes that from the perspective of interests, they should not form a partnership.
When a person decides to go into business with another person, he must have some purpose.
Generally, there are two considerations: either they want connections, or they don’t have money and hope others can invest in them.
Wei Xuan just wanted to open a clothing store, she didn't need any connections, and she had her own money. She couldn't think of a reason to open a store with Fang Jing.
Isn't it good to be your own boss? You can make all the decisions in the store by yourself. No matter good or bad, you only need to be responsible for yourself.
She didn't have to share the money she made with others, and of course there was a possibility of losing money, but the loss of a clothing store was something Wei Xuan could afford.
And she was confident that she could make money, which made her even less willing to partner with others.
These were the conclusions Wei Xuan came to after thinking rationally for more than an hour in the room. But now when she saw Fang Jing, her personal emotions mixed with her rationality, and she felt inexplicably guilty and embarrassed.
Seeing that she had been silent, Fang Jing probably guessed something and comforted her, "Don't take what I told you this afternoon too seriously. I just wasn't sure about opening a store, and it just so happened that you and I were so destined to open a store, so I said those words. Whether you agree or not, it won't affect our continued friendship, right?"
"Of course." Wei Xuan replied immediately.
Wei Xuan was a little anxious when speaking. In order to hide her embarrassment, she took a sip of water from the cup. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Fang Jing what was in her heart.
"Actually, Sister Fang, have you ever thought that you underestimate yourself? Opening a store is really not as difficult as you think. As long as you can take this step, you will find that your previous worries are all in vain."
"I don't want to be a partner. Actually, there is no other reason. I just think that a small clothing store does not need two owners. Just like you said, although we can't be partners, we are still friends. If you encounter any problems in opening a store in the future, you can always come to me, or we can discuss matters related to purchasing together, and strive to make the clothes in our store sell better and better."
"You're really good at encouraging people." Fang Jing smiled helplessly, "Okay, don't explain so much. I'm not really angry, but I still want to thank you. I feel like after hearing what you said, I'm not so scared anymore."
Wei Xuan said sincerely: "Every word I said is from my heart."
"Okay, I believe you, let's eat." Fang Jing even started to scoop soup for Wei Xuan: "Try the soup here, it's very good."
"Hey, thank you, Sister Fang." Wei Xuan quickly took the bowl to receive it, and in her heart she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was not angry. What she was most afraid of was that this incident would cause a rift between the two of them. The key point was that they lived next door to each other, and they would see each other every day. How awkward it would be! It was better to talk it out now.
They came to Yangcheng by bus on Friday, went shopping all day on Saturday, and stayed at the guesthouse on Sunday waiting for Jiang Che and his friends to return.
The main reason was that they had already visited the wholesale market, and there were no other interesting places. The two women were afraid of being targeted if they went out. According to Fang Jing, Guangzhou was a very chaotic place.
Wei Xuan was also a little scared, but she decided to wait for the man to come back and then go out with him.
Jiang Che and Hong Zhen came back on Sunday night. As soon as Jiang Che came back, he took Wei Xuan aside and told her a lot about what he had gained from his trip.
Only then did Wei Xuan realize that they had taken a bus back to Yangcheng this morning, but they did not come back immediately. Instead, they went to visit a factory in Yangcheng.
"Wife, you don't know, these factories are so different from our National Cotton Mill. The things they produce are really advanced. For example, the clothing factory and the textile factory, their machines produce many things that our factory can't make. There is also a toy factory. Those toys make my eyes dazzled. By the way, I also bought a bicycle for my daughter. I have asked the post office to send it back. I think we can pick it up when we return."
Wei Xuan just listened to him quietly. Jiang Che talked for a long time and when he saw that she didn't respond, he asked her what was wrong.
"Nothing, I'm listening to you, go on and I'm listening."
Jiang Che moved closer to her and sat down: "I've said so much, now it's your turn, tell me, what have you been doing these past two days, didn't you want to open a clothing store, what do you think of the clothes you saw?"
"It's pretty good. I've liked several styles. I'll have to pick out the others later. Also, Sister Fang mentioned something to me. She said she wanted to open a store with me."
Jiang Che's hand paused as he bent down to take off his shoes: "Partnership? What did you say? Agree?"
"I certainly didn't agree."
"That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to save face and agree to her request."
Wei Xuan was curious: "Why don't you want me to open a shop with her?"
Jiang Che climbed onto the bed and lay down: "Don't you remember what happened between me and Brother Wu? Good friends have become estranged because of interests. Of course, it's definitely not just because of this, but it is undeniable that this is the reason. It's a lesson for us! You really need to think carefully before doing business together. Brother Wu and I have been friends for how many years, and Fang Jing, how long have you known each other?"
Oh, Wei Xuan had really forgotten about this. Now after hearing what Jiang Che said, she became more determined in her decision.
"However," Jiang Che changed the subject and said, "But if there is other business in the future, we can still cooperate."
Hmm? Wei Xuan turned to look at him: "What are you thinking about?"
"Look at what you said, what can I think." Jiang Che sighed: "I just think that if you want to expand your business, you still need to find a reliable partner. Of course, it is better for you to open this clothing store yourself."
During this trip, Jiang Che realized that so many bosses actually borrowed money from banks to do business and used money to make money.
He still has his heart trembling when he hears those figures. Aren’t those people afraid of business failure and not being able to pay back the money?
Section 71
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to sleep well at night if he owed so much money. He would not be able to rest in peace until he paid off all the money.
However, he did not plan to tell Wei Xuan about these things, as he was afraid of scaring his wife again.
(Wei Xuan said she would not be frightened, as these were minor incidents.)
Of course, Wei Xuan didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't know that she was so timid and naive in Jiang Che's mind. She was now thinking about what kind of business Jiang Che was referring to.
"Nothing, just a few words of emotion. We're going back the day after tomorrow, so should we go buy some clothes tomorrow?"
Wei Xuan gets excited when talking about this.
"Yes, I'm waiting for you to come back and help me carry my bags. We may have to go shopping all day tomorrow. Not only for the clothes we need to buy for the store, but also for the people at home. I've seen so many things. It's not easy for you to come out here, so I can't go back without any gifts."
"Okay, then go to bed early. It sounds like you'll be busy tomorrow."
The next day, the four of them got up and went out at around seven o'clock. They went to have breakfast first, and it was not until half past eight that they arrived at the clothing wholesale market after breakfast.
At this time, there were already many people in the clothing wholesale market. Fang Jing asked Wei Xuan: "Are we going together or separately?"
Wei Xuan thought for a while and said, "Let's just separate." The main reason was that she and Fang Jing liked different clothes, and there were so many people that it would take too much time to walk together.
"Okay, then we'll meet at the door at 12 noon."
"good."
Wei Xuan planned to take Jiang Che to buy the clothes she liked. It was October now, and the clothes they bought must be winter clothes. Winter clothes were much more expensive than summer clothes. Sweaters were okay, but outerwear like cotton coats were more expensive. Some good quality ones cost dozens of yuan each. If they bought twenty pieces, a thousand yuan would be gone.
But she couldn't just buy one style of coat, so in order to control costs she couldn't buy too many of one style. But then, bargaining became much more difficult.
What can Wei Xuan do? She has to bargain slowly. In order to get a good price, she can only try to pick out as many styles as possible in one store. She hopes that the boss will give her a lower price because she buys a lot.
