Seeing that she seemed to be a little interested, Zhou Fusheng happily pulled her to sit down at the table again and gave her new tea.
"It's like this. Mr. An just said that if anyone sees the clothes in your hand, they can try to make them. Even if you and I sign a contract not to reveal the secret, it still can't stop someone from imitating it. Instead of that, In this case, it’s better for us to strike first. After we have made enough money, what else can others think of us? What’s more, if we sell this kind of clothes in the first place, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves. Come on, why don’t you just put this money into our pockets obediently?”
Zhou Fusheng smiled obscenely, but the expression on An Yu's face was always indifferent. He didn't say yes or no to the method he said. It was this expression that made the confident Zhou Fengwen suddenly lose his confidence. Just when he was feeling uneasy, An Yu finally spoke: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you are right, but this style of clothes was told to me by others. He told me not to leak it, and there was nothing I could do about it unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless we can come up with a reason that is enough to prevent him from complaining."
As for the reason, Zhou Prosperity and An Yu both knew it well, but neither of them revealed the relationship. If you want a person to express his creativity obediently, he can only speak with money, and it must be enough money.
"Hehe, I can buy this style of clothes for twenty taels of silver." Shopkeeper Zhou stretched out two fingers and said to An Yu with a look on his face. Twenty taels! This was the income of his store for several days, and he thought it was too much! And he only buys one style. He has already mastered how to make clothes beautiful and warm, so there is no need to ask him for anything. So from his point of view, he could only offer twenty taels of silver at most.
Unexpectedly, he thought he was the best price, so An Yu finally shook his head and said firmly, "No. For twenty taels of silver, it's better to order several different styles of clothes to show off!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was speechless for a moment, is it easy for him? Twenty taels of silver! But when he heard An Yu say, "It's better to order several different styles of clothes to show off," he was moved again, and he was very anxious!
"Then add another ten taels?" Shopkeeper Zhou broke off another finger in pain.
Unexpectedly, An Yu still shook his head firmly.
"Fifty taels!"
"Xiao Yuan, is it almost noon now? We should go have lunch." An Yu said to Xiao Yuan behind him casually.
But Xiao Yuan, who was standing behind her, stood there dumbfounded when he heard Zhou Fusheng say fifty taels. Her mouth opened into a big O shape. It was no wonder that she was like this, because fifty taels was enough for the two of them to live for several months. But what did her young lady say? ah? have lunch? ! She pouted, what on earth was her young lady planning? It's just a picture of a piece of clothing. How can it force people to be so tight? However, when her young lady does things, she still has no room for resistance, so she should just do things according to her wishes!
"Well, Master, it's indeed almost noon."
Shopkeeper Zhou saw that An Yu ignored him and instead talked about trivial matters like where to go for lunch. His blood surged up and he blurted out: "One hundred taels!"
"Okay, then one hundred taels!" This was what An Yu was waiting for, so when he opened his mouth, An Yu agreed with a faint smile.
Dizzy! The young master in front of me is really not an ordinary spirit! He actually waited for me to ask for a hundred. I really can’t imagine how he grew up like this at such a young age!
"Ah Fu, go get one hundred taels of silver!"
"Haha, Shopkeeper Zhou is so refreshing. Being able to cooperate with you will be a blessing in the next few lives!" The cooperation was successful, and An Yu gave his praise without hesitation.
But Zhou Fansheng looked depressed. If the little kid in front of him hadn't forced him to exchange a hundred taels for a piece of clothing design, it would have really made him bleed! If he had known it earlier... Well, if he had known it earlier, he would still have bought it. One hundred taels. When the time comes, make a few more clothes like this and set a higher price. Then you won’t be afraid that you won’t be able to make back the one hundred taels!
"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhou, I have a piece of advice, should I take it or not?" An Yu saw Xiao Yuan counting the one hundred taels of silver and nodded to himself, then smiled softly at Zhou Fusheng. said.
"Tell me about it." She came up with this dress. If she has any good suggestions, it would be good for her. Besides, even if her suggestions are not good, she doesn't have to adopt them
"Before I say anything, I would like to ask how many pieces of these clothes Shopkeeper Zhou wants to make?" With that said, An Yu tore up the contract in his hand to show that the transaction between the two was successful. Shopkeeper Zhou was also very happy when he saw this. He looked at the design in his hand with joy, as if he was seeing money rolling into his arms.
"Of course we have to make more." Otherwise, how can we get back the one hundred taels we just gave away
After hearing this, An Yu shook his head, stretched out a finger to shake it, and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I can't help but say a few heartfelt words to you because I see you are bold and trustworthy."
Zhou Fusheng nodded quickly. He knew it, so he was ready to listen carefully.
"If you get a treasure that you like very much, but you go to the street and see that everyone is holding the same treasure as you, what will you think?" An Yu finished speaking, with a dull look on his face. His expression became even more enigmatic.
However, after Zhou Fusheng heard this, he was completely stunned! Yes, if he makes a few more clothes like this, he can certainly guarantee that they will sell well. However, later on, if someone sees clothes that are exactly the same as his own, they will definitely come to make trouble. So, do you still want them? What about doing business? Zhou Prosperity couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought about the consequences. Fortunately, fortunately, Mr. An in front of me reminded him, otherwise his store would have been destroyed like this!
"Shopkeeper Zhou, do you want your store to become the largest cloth shop in Youzhou City?"
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Facts have proved that shopkeeper Zhou who wants to be the largest cloth shop is still a good cloth shop owner. After hearing what An Yu said, although he hesitated a little, he still nodded.
"There is a saying that goes like this, I have what others don't have, and what I have is superior to others." An Yu tapped her fingers lightly on the table. This action reminded her of a certain person, with that lazy demeanor. What is he doing now...
"Well said! I have what others don't have, and I have the advantage of what others have!" Shopkeeper Zhou thought about it for a while, and then couldn't help but sigh.
An Yu, who was slightly distracted, was pulled back by his words, took back his hand, smiled, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, why don't we cooperate! I will provide you with the design drawings of the clothes, and I will guide you and sell them. We’ll share the clothes we went there with each other. What do you think?”
Zhou Prosperity almost agreed, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he immediately endured it: "How to divide it?"
To be honest, if every design drawing he drew was bought for one hundred taels of silver, he would indeed be at a disadvantage, because now he is not sure that every piece of clothing he designs will sell well. . But the sharing is different. If the designed clothes don't sell well, you will lose some labor costs at most, but you won't lose too much.
An Yu also thought of this, and she came with this purpose in mind from the beginning. It's just that the two may have some differences regarding the division of income.
"I wonder how Shopkeeper Zhou wants to divide it?" When encountering this kind of thing, it is best to let the other party speak first, so as not to offend anyone, and secondly, to find out the other party's bottom line.
"Uh..." Shopkeeper Zhou hesitated a little. It wasn't that he didn't know how to divide the money, but he was thinking about how to get the most advantage. Since the other party has thrown the initiative to his side, he will never be polite.
An Yu saw him frowning and thinking, and knew in his heart that he was struggling. So I didn't bother him or rush him, I just sat quietly drinking tea and patiently waiting for his decision. Standing behind her, Xiao Yuan was already stunned by his young lady's trick of deceiving others. It was just a painting, and the painting was not very good, so it was exchanged for one hundred taels of silver!
One hundred taels! How long will she last as a maid? Oh, by the way, since she came out of Su Mansion, she seems to have lost her salary as a maid. Although both of their belongings have been entrusted to her for safekeeping, she really has no private money of her own! Now it's great, the lady made a hundred taels of money in one fell swoop! It was enough to last them both master and servant for quite some time. Of course, what she said was not wrong, it was definitely a lie!
"If it's up to me to make a decision, it's better to make it eight or two! You two and I'm eight, what do Mr. An think?"
Shopkeeper Zhou thought for a long time and finally made a number that he felt was acceptable and that An Yu might win. But when he raised his head, he met An Yu's smiling eyes. His face immediately turned red, but he still bravely met her gaze. Anyway, he was the one who asked me to speak first. It’s good that he didn’t give 91%!
"It's indeed very reasonable." An Yu said lightly. Shopkeeper Zhou immediately smiled after hearing this, but before he could be happy, she added, "But I don't want it."
With a faint denial, Jiang Zheng stood up happily and was about to ask someone to get a pen and paper to write down the contract. Shopkeeper Zhou returned to his original form. He looked at An Yu in shock, blinked, and said blankly, "Why?"
"Since Shopkeeper Zhou knows the value of this style of clothing, you should also know that shopkeepers from other stores can also recognize the value of this clothing. Therefore, I need to think about it again." (To be continued.)
