"Has the three-day period arrived?"
Early in the morning, Gu Zhengde straightened his clothes and got ready to go out.
The weather was nice today, and he could already think of Su's cloth shop's reluctance to hand over its looms.
As for not paying? He never thought about it, because no one has trouble with money.
"Master, it's not good!"
At this moment, a follower ran in.
Gu Zhengde hummed: "What do you look like in a panic? Why is it bad? What happened?"
The servant replied: "Master, you asked us to keep an eye on Lin Jieyuan's family. We just got news that Lin Jieyuan and Su Mingyue have already gone out. Looking in the direction, it should be Jiangning Weaving Bureau."
"What?"
Gu Zhengde's expression changed, "Why are they going to Jiangning Weaving Bureau?"
etc! Do they want to confess?
its not right!
Who would honestly confess? Wouldn’t it be better to talk to yourself about the greater good?
Gu Zhengde's face was full of doubts. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, no! Gotta check it out!
"Prepare the car!"
Jiangning Weaving Bureau.
A carriage stopped slowly, and Lin Bai led Su Mingyue out of the carriage. The latter seemed a little nervous and took a deep breath.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have Minghuang cloth, textile looms, big spinning wheels, and the support of Tianhua Cloth Factory, so there will be no problem."
"Um!"
Su Mingyue nodded, "I'm not worried about this. I'm just afraid that Changlong Buzhuang has a close relationship with Master Cao..."
"It's okay, your husband is also a Jie Yuan after all, so you have to give him some face!"
Lin Bai said in a very disgusting way.
Su Mingyue chuckled, and the two of them immediately entered the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.
At this moment, in the Weaving Bureau, Cao Wenwen was standing respectfully, with a smile on his face. At the desk in front of him, Zhu Ziyan was looking through the account books.
Bai Ling was waiting on the side.
Zhu Ziyan was checking it out and asked, "Have all the orders for New Year's cloth been arranged?"
Cao Wenwen hurriedly replied: "Seventh princess, don't worry, everything has been arranged and the goods will be delivered as scheduled before the end of the year."
"Um!"
Zhu Ziyan nodded and asked, "Did those cloth merchants say anything?"
The price of year-old cloth was very low. Of course she knew about the complaints from the cloth merchants, but she had never cared about it before. After hearing someone's remarks, she couldn't help but ask more questions.
"Princess, you are too worried. It is too late for the court to reward you with food and gratitude, so how can you say anything more."
Cao Wenwen said flatteringly.
Zhu Ziyan did not ask any further questions, and everyone knew it well, so they immediately stood up and said: "Now that the arrangements have been made, it's time for me, the princess, to go back..."
Just as he was talking, a clerk said outside the study: "Master Cao, Lin Jieyuan brings Su Mingyue, the owner of Su's Clothing Store, to see you."
"No! Didn't I tell you, there are distinguished guests here."
Cao Wenwen scolded without thinking.
Zhu Ziyan's bright eyes lit up slightly, "Who did you just talk about?"
The clerk outside the door was startled for a moment, and then said: "It's Lin Jieyuan and his eldest wife Su Mingyue."
Cao Wenwen smiled awkwardly.
Zhu Ziyan glanced at him and said, "Let's meet Mr. Cao! Maybe they have something serious to do with Mr. Cao!"
Cao Wenwen looked a little suspicious, "Then let's meet?"
lobby.
Lin Bai and Su Mingyue had been waiting for a while. The officials were indeed different. This official had a high air.
Lin Bai was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, after a while, Cao Wenwen finally came out. Su Mingyue hurriedly greeted him, and Lin Bai could only express his gratitude.
"Lin Jieyuan's visit is really a rare visitor. I don't know..."
Cao Wenwen chuckled and said that Jie Yuan still had some face, mainly because he didn't know what the seventh princess was thinking, so he didn't dare to neglect her.
Lin Bai glanced at Iron Lady and motioned for her to come.
Su Mingyue nodded and was about to speak.
At this time, Gu Zhengde had arrived and said first, "Master Cao, Gu has something urgent to report."
Cao Wenwen was startled, glanced at both sides, and realized something was wrong.
At this time, Gu Zhengde also glanced at Lin Bai provocatively and said directly: "Gu found that the price of old cloth still has room to drop, because Su's Cloth House has manufactured a new type of textile machine that can greatly improve the textile industry. speed and reduce labor costs.”
"In order to share the burden for the imperial court and complete the annual cloth order as soon as possible, Gu felt it was necessary to let Boss Su reveal the textile machine..."
No one is so shameless.
Lin Bai was amazed.
Su Mingyue's face was expressionless because she had expected it.
But Cao Wenwen couldn't calm down anymore. New textile machine? Can costs be reduced? Can the price be lowered?
Zhu Ziyan in the back hall also had bright eyes.
"Are you serious about what you say?"
Cao Wenwen looked at Gu Zhengde and asked, then looked at Lin Bai and Su Mingyue.
Su Mingyue replied generously: "What Boss Gu said is true. Su's Cloth Shop has indeed developed a new type of textile machine. This is exactly why the young lady and her husband asked to see Mr. Cao."
"good!"
Cao Wenwen seemed very excited, "Then..."
He looked like he wanted to steal it openly.
But Su Mingyue took the lead and blocked his mouth. She looked at Gu Zhengde and said, "Boss Gu asked Su's Cloth Factory to hand over its looms. Why didn't Changlong Cloth Factory announce the formula for Xuanhuang Cloth?"
Gu Zhengde hummed: "How can these two be confused? Xuanhuang cloth is used by His Majesty. The Gu family carefully developed it and Changlong Buzhuang can supply it."
"The textile machine is different. It is to complete the production of New Year's cloth. The quantity of New Year's cloth is huge. If Boss Su doesn't want to announce it, he can just take all the orders for New Year's cloth. In this case, we naturally have no objection."
"good!"
At this time, both Cai Jiesheng and Wei Baohua had received the news and came over. The former kept echoing, while the latter remained silent.
idiot! Just waiting for your words.
My boss has made it clear that he deliberately provokes you.
Although I want to get the order, taking the initiative is definitely different from forcing it on others. The latter is more proactive and has more room for negotiation.
Cao Wenwen also nodded, "Xuanhuang cloth can be supplied by Changlong Buzhuang, but Suibu..."
He looked at the two of them, his meaning was obvious.
Gu Zhengde and Gu Zhengde sneered again and again. Did they take the annual cloth order? How is it possible? It's not long before the end of the year. Not to mention Su's Clothing Village, even if they join forces, it may not be too late.
As he spoke, he took out the order and said, "Here are all the old cloth orders. Boss Su, take them all!"
Su Mingyue looked at Cao Wenwen, "Does Mr. Cao mean this too?"
Cao Wenwen said: "As long as you deliver the goods on time, I will naturally have no objection."
Lin Bai seemed to be unable to bear it now, and sneered: "You are clearly deliberately making things difficult. How can Su's Clothing Store accept such a large order?"
"Besides, the Su family can't afford just buying materials, unless...
"..."
"Princess, why do I think he did it on purpose?"
In the back hall, Bai Ling said suspiciously.
"Did you see it?"
Zhu Ziyan's mouth was amused.
Bai Ling shook his head, "I didn't notice it, I just didn't think it was like his style."
"You're right! Judging from his behavior during this period, he is not a boss who is willing to suffer losses at all. He is clearly here for the order."
