Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 118 Cooperation

(Completed the previous chapter)

"At present, I still need to ensure the production of our Shang County. My father will help me solve part of the sales. I actually formed a caravan myself, mainly in the Jiangnan area. As long as the production keeps up, my caravan can also solve part of the sales for me. But it is still not as good as others. Their shops are mainly in Jiangning Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture. Those places have a large population, they have fixed shops, and a stable customer base. My caravan goes to smaller county towns and the transportation cost is also quite high."

"Sister Fang, why don't you focus on the lower-tier markets?"

"What do you mean by the sinking market?"

"We set up chain stores in small towns they look down upon, with unified prices and unified products. As long as we open enough, we won't necessarily be worse than them. And we don't necessarily have to do business with the rich. In fact, there are more ordinary people. Why not do business with them and win by volume?"

"That's an idea worth trying."

"Our money and anesthetics can provide you with enough funds. You must quickly spread out and occupy these small towns. Otherwise, if they discover your actions, this approach may not work."

"Then when do you say we should start?"

"We can start from one county to another, starting now. We don't need to occupy all the stores at once. This will take up too much capital. If you buy them earlier, it will be wasted. We should first locate our own stores and then slowly expand them later."

"Okay, I'll go back today and discuss it with the shopkeeper, and give you a reply tomorrow."

"Sister, please let me take care of your dyed cloth, weaving cloth, craftsmen, and embroiderers. I will arrange for them to take care of the classes and recruit students."

"Okay, Sister Xing'er, you can use my manpower as you like. Why bother being polite to me?"

"Okay, then I won't be polite, sister."

Tian Xing'er was very enthusiastic about recruiting students for the school, and the next day she teamed up with County Magistrate Zhou to post notices throughout the county.

"Ms. Tian, ​​you are so quick in doing things. I thought it would take at least half a year for you to implement my proposal." County Magistrate Zhou sighed as he looked at the crowd gathered in front of the notice.

"Strike while the iron is hot. On the one hand, I want to help my sister Fang, and on the other hand, I want to help the people of Shang County."

"Yes, thanks to you, our Shang County has begun to gain some fame in various places. I heard that some people from the neighboring counties have come here. Shang County is now planting mulberry and hemp, and they need people everywhere. In a short time, I am afraid that we will not have enough people here, and we will have to go to the surrounding counties to recruit some people.

By the way, shouldn’t you start building your workshop? As for the land, it’s easy to talk about. As long as you stay here, I will waive all the rent for you.”

"Thank you, County Magistrate. I will discuss with Sister Fang in the next few days to see where the production workshop should be located. When recruiting people, Shang County will definitely be given priority."

"Okay, I just hope that the people in our county can have a skill and have more opportunities in the future. Miss Fang, regarding the sales of your cloth shop, I also have a business to introduce to you. As long as you can produce the cloth they want, I believe your business will be able to go further."

"Really? County Magistrate, please tell me."

"Do you remember the home of Master Xu that you went to before?"

"I remember. Could it be that their family also runs a cloth shop?"

"Not really, but they can introduce you to cloth shops in the capital. We can now produce linen and silk cloth ourselves in Shang County. If the cost can be reduced enough, I think the profit from selling it to the capital will be considerable. I just don't know if you are interested."

"Of course I am interested, County Magistrate. I will go back and tell Sister Fang right away. Please help me arrange a time with Mr. Xu and the others so that we can meet and discuss this business. Sister Fang is still planning other things. Any time after two days will be fine."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment for you. I'll send someone to notify you when the time is set."

"Thank you, County Magistrate."

On this side, Tian Xing'er was having a pleasant conversation with County Magistrate Zhou, while on the other side, their notice was already crowded with people, and many people had already run to their school to inquire about this specialized technical class.

Because there were so many people coming, it directly affected the students in class. When Tian Xing'er and the others came over, they saw Jiang Jin and others chasing people away.

"Xiao Liu, have you heard? The one behind us is said to be a specialized technical class that specializes in training embroiderers, textile workers, dyers, etc. This is an incredible skill. In the past, if you wanted to learn it, you had to pay. I didn't expect that you can learn it in Shang County now." The speaker was Zhao Sheng, who was formerly called Ergou, but now he changed his name after entering the school.

It was Tian Yuze's class, and since everyone was of similar age, they were not too restrained. "Mr. Zhao, you are not paying attention to the class. What are you whispering about? You will be kept after class. Remember to write the big characters we taught you three more times than the others, okay?"

"Ah, Mr. Yuze, you can't do this to me. Look, other people are saying it too. I just spoke louder than the others. Why are you only punishing me?"

"You're still feeling wronged. You said you got last place in the last few quizzes. Shouldn't you study harder? If you say more, I'll double your punishment."

"Ah, it's the young master." Zhao Sheng had no choice but to accept the reality with a bitter face.

Although he was teaching Zhao Sheng a lesson now, Tian Yuze was also very curious and wanted to go and take a look. He had also heard about his sister's technical secondary school class and wanted to go and listen to the lectures and learn something if he had the chance in the future.

As soon as school was over, Tian Yuze ran faster than his students, mainly because he wanted to see the excitement.

"Yuze, have you finished your class?" He was seen by Tian Xing'er as soon as he ran out.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"This is not because of the enrollment issue. I'm afraid that too many people will come here and affect your classes."

"There were quite a few people here just now, but they seemed to have been driven away by Uncle Jiang Jin. Is your specialized class very popular?"

"That's a skill that can make money. Who wouldn't want to learn it?"

"That's right. You teach for free, so everyone will want to come."

"It's not all free. After they finish their studies, they still have to work for us for a few years, otherwise we won't hire them. I don't want to give free training to other people's guys. In the end, I won't benefit from it at all."

"Well, sister, you have a good idea."

"Sister, is there anything I can help you with in this new school?"

"What can I do for you? You should focus on teaching your little friend. And how are your studies going?"

"Sister, do you need to question my ability?" When Tian Yuze said this, he started to ask for a beating again, and Tian Xing'er really wanted to beat him up.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I still need to discuss something with Sister Fang. You should study hard in school."

"I know, it's true."

Soon, County Magistrate Zhou sent someone to inform Fang Shiya, Tian Xing'er and others, and made an appointment to meet at Xu's house two days later.

"Sister Fang, the county magistrate is really reliable. He set a date so quickly."

"Yes, Lord Zhou is a good county magistrate who is wholeheartedly devoted to the people of Shang County. I also hope that our business will not disappoint them."

"Don't worry, sister. Your business will be booming."

"Hahaha, then I'll take your kind words, sister. By the way, I was just about to tell you about Mr. Xu. I've also inquired about him before. Although Mr. Xu's family is not in the fabric business and most of their business is in the capital, they also have a lot of business in Jiangnan.

I thought that if we wanted to cover all the towns and cities in Jiangnan with my cloth shops as soon as possible, it would be a good idea to cooperate with Mr. Xu.

And sister Xing'er, are you interested in joining us? I know that you have a lot of influence in Jiangnan. If this business can be successful, it will be very good, just like what sister said."

"After hearing what my sister said, I forgot about myself. Hahaha. Of course, I proposed this decision, and I am willing to have a share of it. I am just worried that it will affect my sister's performance and lower your overall ranking."

"I'll write you an agreement. After I win the election for the head of the family, I will return your share in full and compensate you with the income plus interest during this period."

"I don't need the interest, but I still want the rest."

"Hahaha, okay, it's settled then."

On the day of the agreed meeting, County Magistrate Zhou unexpectedly came to the Fang family's shop early in the morning waiting for them.

"I wonder what you want to see us for, sir?"
