Chapter 127 Machine Supply
The study of business is profound, mixed with profound things like Confucianism, Taoism, philosophy, etc. A successful businessman must have his own way of practice.
People like Fu Rongping put customers first and treat people with sincerity.
Song Qingwan admired him very much, but there was one thing she still couldn't figure out. "Boss Fu treated guests sincerely. I think you two should have developed feelings for each other. Even if you owe him 500,000 taels of payment, he shouldn't force you, right?"
The emotions of the ancients were actually very rich and romantic. From the poems left behind by ancient poets, we can see that friendship between men can be deeper and more magnificent than family affection.
Fu Rongping cares so much about his clients. Besides credibility, there must be some emotion behind this. How could the other party possibly want to kill him?
Sure enough, "What the girl said is right, but my brother is also a middleman, and he also has to report to his end customer, which is Fenfangfang.
Fenfangfang not only deals in high-end ready-made clothing, it also purchases some embroidered fabrics and finished garments and sells them to foreign countries.
My brother's 'Colorful Cloth Shop' is one of the suppliers of Fenfangfang.
Coincidentally, the Colorful Cloth Shop had just suffered a fire some time ago, and my brother suffered heavy losses, and all the money he had was spent on the money.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake and couldn't supply the raw fabrics needed by Qicai Cloth Shop, which made things even worse for him.
I was also in a difficult situation. My foundation was destroyed by the Fu family's side branch, my capital was severely damaged, my spinning machine was destroyed, and I was hanged on the roadside for no apparent reason."
Well, actually he didn’t die, but it would be better if he died. Oh, that’s not a good thing either. People are saying that he was trying to evade responsibility and his reputation is ruined.
Fu Rongping rubbed his forehead with a headache. He was at his wit's end, so he told the whole story to the little girl.
I want to vent my frustration, but I also want to put all the problems on the table, sort them out, and then find ways to resolve them.
But when he heard Song Qingwan from Fenfangfang, he immediately felt that something was wrong. It was really a familiar old routine.
Either destroy first and then show mercy and save, or completely frame and take it for yourself. Isn't this the Grand Princess' usual method?
As the Great Cold is approaching, is the princess stockpiling cloth? What about cotton?
It seems that it is not enough for Song Qingya to open a down jacket shop. Song Qingwan thought that she also had to prepare to do some other things.
Song Qingwan thought for a while and asked, "Fenfangfang is the property of the Grand Princess, does Boss Fu know about it?" The familiar stench, as long as it is reminded, smart people in the industry should know about the urinary tract.
Fu Rongping was even more troubled. "Of course I know that she is under the command of the Grand Princess, so it is even more difficult. She is not right!"
Fu Rongping stood up suddenly and looked at Song Qingwan with horror, as if he had figured out all the connections. "What do you mean, young lady?"
The eldest princess is of noble status, but she does not hesitate to compete with the common people for profits, and she has always been overbearing in doing business. Just look at the confrontation between the Yellow Escort Agency and the Red Escort Agency some time ago and you will know that they never follow the rules, and they often force purchases and sales, and the merchants under them are oppressed and suffer terribly.
Therefore, the disasters of Nanzhi Textile and Qicai Cloth Shop were not accidents or coincidences at all, but were the result of someone else's design and frame-up. After realizing this, Fu Rongping slumped back into the carriage dejectedly.
For generations, both his and his two families have been just small merchants with no power or influence. How can they fight against such a giant?
Reality is always despairing. Why did the little girl tell him this? Just let him go ahead.
No, Fu Rongping suddenly had an idea and said, "I haven't asked yet, what is your name, benefactor?" Fu Rongping's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Why did this young and beautiful girl know all this?
That's of course because she had direct or indirect contact with the Grand Princess or her forces.
The princess's business has been hit recently, and the one that caused the most uproar was the Huang Escort Agency. The person who brought down the Huang Escort Agency and took over was the new owner of the Seven Slaves. "My last name is Song." Song Qingwan said openly.
Fu Rongping's body trembled, and then he quickly straightened his body and attitude, "It turned out to be Boss Song, my apologies! I wonder if Boss Song can think of a corresponding strategy for me?"
He asked anxiously. After all, this man with amazing talent, who had helped the Red Escort Agency defeat the Yellow Escort Agency and captured the Seven Slave Saints in one fell swoop, was definitely not an ordinary person.
Song Qingwan curled her lips, once again confirming that Boss Fu was a smart person, "Let me think about it."
Song Qingwan tapped her knees with her fingers. The cold wind outside the carriage made her mind particularly clear. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
She should try her best to assist Boss Fu and get the benefits she wants from it.
"Boss Fu just said that Nanzhi's textile machine is broken and the capital turnover is not smooth. If you can borrow money, I will provide you with textile machines. Is it possible to solve the current difficulties?"
“Of course, I have already ordered the raw materials. As long as I can borrow the money to pay off the balance and the textile machines are in place, I can deliver the batch of goods that Qicai Cloth Shop wants within ten days.
The difficulty is that textile machines are difficult to borrow and manufacture, and it is impossible to have them in place within just two or three days." Boss Fu waited anxiously for Song Qingwan's reply.
Will a miracle really happen? Little fairy, please show up soon.
"What about the problem with the Colorful Cloth Shop?" If there are any problems, solve them all at once. As long as the business gets going, you can deal a heavy blow to your competitors.
"It's the same with Qicai Cloth Shop. He lacks raw materials and the funds to buy them and pay wages. If I can supply the raw materials and he can hire more people, then the construction period will not be a problem at all. We can get through a month if we grit our teeth."
"So, what we lack now is money and machines. Mr. Fu, please show me your cloth samples. I think I should be able to make a textile machine. How many do you want? I will make them for you overnight."
Song Qingwan was calm and composed, looking as if she had everything planned out for her.
Nanzhi needs a textile machine, and the Qicai Cloth Shop also has a sewing machine. I believe many families will need these two things. When these two items become popular in the city, won't she be able to make a fortune?
Moreover, it can also be a long-term business.
Boss Fu was almost crying with excitement. There is always a way out. He met a noble man, so he quickly took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and said, "This is the kind with horizontal, vertical and diagonal stripes.
It should be no problem, Boss Song. I need five or thirty of these textile machines. I can have people work day and night to catch up.
Of course, the price of the textile machine is negotiable. As long as I have this machine, my business will be revitalized and money will no longer be a problem."
Moreover, he would not fall in the same place a second time, and a fierce look flashed in Boss Fu's eyes.
His words made Song Qingwan smile. With money, everything can be discussed. "If Boss Fu can afford it, it won't be a problem to deliver 100 textile machines within three days."
Boss Fu was stunned. As far as he knew, their textile looms were shipped from Jiangnan, and it would take an old carpenter more than half a year to make one.
He had already overestimated Song Qingwan's ability. He had only mentioned thirty units, but he didn't expect that she would directly release a hundred units! Delivery within three days? !
