Jiang Ning was still a little worried before meeting Gu Qingwan.
After all, so many sewing machines can be considered a huge sum of money in this era.
She even planned it in her mind.
If you really don’t have enough money then, Lingbao Space has recently harvested a lot of pearls, many of which are large, round and super high-quality varieties.
She could take some and sell them, which would be worth a lot of money.
In this way, it can be regarded as her contribution to this military compound.
more importantly.
Doing this will also help Qin Jiulie solve some of his worries.
However.
Jiang Ning obviously knew nothing about Gu Qingwan's wealth.
After listening to what she said, Gu Qingwan looked relaxed, spoke in a casual tone, and said with a smile.
"I saw that you had a sullen face just now, looking serious and nervous. I thought it was something big, like regretting not wanting to cooperate with me. It turned out to be such a small thing. Why are you embarrassed to say it?"
"It's just a few sewing machines. It doesn't cost much. No discounts or installment plans. I'll give them to you directly."
"Is six or seven stations enough? Isn't it too few? I remember that there are quite a few people in your military compound. Then round up, how about ten stations?"
All of a sudden.
Jiang Ning was confused by the question.
What she had been thinking about for so long turned into a trivial matter in Gu Qingwan's words.
Then she waved her hand.
--delivered.
Two words, perfect solution.
besides.
Gu Qingwan also solved Jiang Ning's worries.
She still said cheerfully.
"Since my grandfather was young, he has been doing business while donating money and materials to society. I have seen it since I was a child, and I have long been used to it."
"Not to mention ten sewing machines, my grandfather once donated ten small yellow croakers. The person who took away the small yellow croakers also left an IOU for our family. My grandfather turned around and burned the IOU."
"He said that the most important thing in doing business is to put money to good use. Money is fluid. To make money, you also need to spend money, so that wealth can continue to come."
Jiang Ning was greatly surprised after hearing this.
It turns out that the business philosophy of the merchant family is like this.
At the same time, she could also hear that Gu Qingwan talked so much to reduce Jiang Ning's psychological burden.
She donated money and materials not to gain favor from Jiang Ning, but simply to support construction.
"On behalf of the sisters-in-law in our compound, thank you."
"you are welcome."
Under Gu Qingwan's arrangement, the department store manager and clerk moved all the ten sewing machines in stock to a dark green jeep parked high on the roadside.
The mall manager is also a knowledgeable person.
When he saw that the jeep was for military use, he immediately asked someone to get a red ribbon and tied it with big red flowers.
They also had people write banners and put one on each box.
"Donation from Changlong Department Store".
There are big red flowers and banners, which are very conspicuous at first sight.
Department stores are still in densely populated areas, and passers-by around them are watching. The best word-of-mouth effect is spread out.
Jiang Ning watched Gu Qingwan go through this process and had to admire her skill again.
Gu Qingwan didn't care about these things at all.
She pulled Jiang Ning to the third floor of the department store.
Compared with the last time there were traces of renovation all over the floor, the current third floor has basically been renovated, and everything is filled with a gorgeous and wealthy atmosphere.
Even the seats used to entertain guests are all velvet.
Many people may have never seen such a soft and gorgeous chair in their entire lives.
Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked proud as she introduced to Jiang Ning.
"The environment here is not bad. I watched it from beginning to end. I personally checked every design. And you - Aning, you are the first guest I entertained."
She gave this identity with special significance to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at everything around him and couldn't feel the atmosphere of the times at all.
Even in a trance.
I thought I was back decades in the future.
"I am not only your first customer, but also your best partner."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said with firm eyes.
"Of course! We are still waiting to hang up your personal sign here."
As Gu Qingwan spoke, she looked at Jiang Ning and smiled.
Both of them saw similar determination in each other's eyes.
Then.
Gu Qingwan took out something wrapped in oil paper from under the counter.
"This is what I really want you to see -"
Open with oil paper.
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up inch by inch.
It was a piece of satin silk fabric, with a gentle luster, soft fabric, and good quality at first glance.
When Jiang Ning's fingertips touched the surface of silk, the silk slipped from his fingertips like milk.
This is 100% silk!
A delicate touch that only pure handwork can produce.
For such a large piece of fabric, I don’t know how many silkworms and how much labor was used.
The value is immeasurable.
Because as time goes by, there are less and less such purely handmade satins.
Jiang Ning was deeply attracted. He couldn't bear to look away.
"When I decided to get married, my grandfather asked someone to buy this from Shanghai. I bought two pieces in total, and the other one was bright red and was made into a wedding cheongsam. This piece was left, and it was still It’s lavender, and I’ve never known what to do with it.”
Gu Qingwan laughed softly as she spoke.
"I originally planned to use it to keep the bottom of the box, but I was lucky enough to meet you. An Ning, you must have an idea, what do you think is suitable?"
In Jiang Ning's eyes, there was only this gentle and elegant light purple in front of him.
This kind of purple is very uncommon in daily clothing.
And it’s quite challenging.
If you dress well, you’ll be noble and elegant; if you don’t, you’ll look rustic.
No wonder Gu Qingwan didn't know how to use this piece of fabric.
But in Jiang Ning's mind, he already had the answer.
"Horse skirt."
Gu Qingwan frowned, "What?"
Jiang Ning explained while gently stroking the satin silk.
"The horse-faced skirt is a very popular women's clothing style in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a long skirt, multiple skirt pleats, and a special one-piece design. But after wearing it, it has four skirt doors, front, back, inside and outside. .
The waist is tied with a tie, which can be tied to the side or tied with a bow at the back of the waist.
Such a nice satin, with some embroidered moiré, would be perfect. "
After listening to such an explanation.
Gu Qingwan actually still didn't know what a "horse-faced skirt" looked like.
But she believed in Jiang Ning.
"You said it's suitable, then it must be suitable! Now this piece of satin belongs to you, and I'm waiting to see the horse-faced skirt you made by yourself."
Jiang Ning would not live up to Gu Qingwan's expectations, and he was not willing to waste such good silk fabric.
If she wants to do it, she must do her best!
