"A fairer way?" Cole didn't understand: "Were the industry duels in the past not fair enough??"
"It's still a bit unfair." Tang Ping said with a smile: "If I release the news now, if anyone gives me a lower score than you in the industry duel, our fashion stores, including hotels, will not be his business in the future. Now that the business is done, what do you think they will choose?”
"You!!" Cole's expression changed drastically. If Tang Ping really did this, it would be easy to imagine what the consequences would be.
"Mr. Cole." Tang Ping wrote with his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "In our Tang Dynasty, in addition to business discussions, there is also a word called intrigue. It probably means that if you scheme against me, I will scheme against you. you."
"You dare to say that you didn't mean to plot against me in this industry duel?"
Cole's face turned green and white for a while, and then asked: "What is the fairer way you said?"
"Let's hold an exhibition together, put all our jewelry in it, and let the nobles come and buy it themselves. Whoever sells the items for a higher total price will win, how about that?"
"If you do this, those nobles will buy things back with real money, so they won't be able to cheat so easily."
"And even the loser can still sell a lot of things through this exhibition. What do you think?"
Cole didn't know if this method would give him an advantage, but what if Tang Ping really did what he said he would do according to the original evaluation method?
So after hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's do this. Where is the time?"
"Since the scale needs to be large, the preparation time will be longer. Why not set it in two months? This will allow more nobles to come."
"Okay!" After hearing Tang Ping's dueling method, Cole also felt that he needed to be more prepared.
Since it is a competition to see who sells the highest total price, then if you put all the goods you can transport at the exhibition, you will naturally have a greater chance of winning.
After sending Cole away, Tang Ping asked old Peter: "Is there anything new recently?"
Old Peter looked at Tang Ping and asked curiously: "Tang, aren't you ready??"
"What are you preparing for? Is it the exhibition you just mentioned?"
"Of course we have to prepare. Don't we still have two months? Why panic?" Tang Ping said calmly: "We must publicize it well, but I still have to think about how to publicize it. But don't worry, we I definitely won’t lose to Cole.”
Although I don't know where Tang Ping's confidence comes from, Old Peter is willing to trust Tang Ping.
"What's new recently..." Old Peter thought for a while: "There's nothing new. It's just that more and more shops are opening here. In the past, many people in Porto were hired by Fabialo. As you said What kind of civil servant is that?"
"Now there are many departments to maintain order, maintain cleanliness, and prevent fire and theft. That means we make a lot more money now, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to support so many people."
"These people are necessary. Are you willing to go shopping in a place where the streets are full of feces and urine and stinks, and where a thief or robber might pop out at any time?"
"Of course I don't want to." Old Peter said: "If there is something new, it is that Archduke John is here. By the way, he said that all the factories like yours have been built. When he came, he also brought A beautiful young lady.”
"Caitlin?"
"Yes, Miss Catelyn, but I think she will soon be Mrs. John."
It is understandable that these two people were in love and had a passionate affair, so they came to Porto together.
Tang Ping went to the Earl Resort Hotel in the evening, and soon Archduke John heard Tang Ping coming and walked out. "Why are you alone?" Tang Ping asked curiously.
"Don, you came at the wrong time. Caitlin and I were swimming..."
Tang Ping saw his look and felt that it might not be as simple as swimming. He shrugged and said, "Well, it seems that I came at the wrong time. I had something good for you, so forget it."
"Don't! Don! I'm just joking. Don't be so serious. You're good at everything. You just lack a little sense of humor. Otherwise, I think many girls will fall in love with you."
He pulled Tang Ping to sit on the sofa in the hotel lobby and asked curiously: "Tell me, what's the good thing?"
"I heard you and Caitlin are getting married soon?"
"Yes!" Archduke John nodded and said, "We love each other, so naturally we want to get married."
"Then have you proposed?"
"Proposal, what is it?"
Tang Pingxin said that in this era, there was indeed no custom of marriage proposal here.
So he said, "Just beg her to marry you! You have to tell her how much you love her, and then ask her if she is willing to marry you? Don't you think this is very romantic?"
After hearing this, Archduke John thought for a moment and said, "It seems...it's really good. Okay, I'll go in and propose to her right now."
"Wait!" Tang Ping stopped the anxious Archduke John: "Since this is a ceremony, shouldn't we be more solemn? If it is completed under the witness of more people, will it be more serious? Is it more sacred? So when you two get old and think about this scene, won’t it be very romantic?”
"Don!" Archduke John said in surprise: "Don, you are so thoughtful. You are right. You are so right. So tell me, what should I do?"
"John, you are my best friend here, so how about leaving the planning of your proposal ceremony to me?"
"Of course there is no problem. As you said, you are also my best friend and the friend with the most ideas. I think there is no problem in leaving it to you."
"Okay, John, you must keep it a secret from Caitlin from now on, because this is a surprise. Do you understand the surprise?"
"I understand." Archduke John made a zipper motion on his mouth. He liked zippers so much, and he also liked this expression very much.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Caitlin, who was wearing a red dress, also came out.
"My dear, we are talking about...begging to buy some things. These are all business matters." Archduke John's eyes lit up when he saw Caitlin, and he almost spilled the beans.
"Grand Duke Tang, please allow me to express my gratitude to you again." Caitlin walked up to Tang Ping and saluted.
"No, no, I just said, John is my best friend here."
Tang Ping winked at Archduke John: "Come to my store tomorrow and we will discuss it."
