The general's wife knows medicine

Shopkeeper Tong looked at Tang Peipei and listened to her say this, secretly making plans in his mind.

Since he is a businessman, he will definitely see further than others in these aspects, and soon he will have a plan in mind.

"Young lady, would you like to purchase some cloth in bulk?" asked Shopkeeper Tong.

Tang Peipei smiled and nodded, "I wonder if the shopkeeper has time? We can talk about it in detail."

Shopkeeper Tong nodded, "Please follow me."

Shopkeeper Tong brought Tang Peipei to the backyard room, which was the room where Shopkeeper Tong usually received distinguished guests.

"Please take a seat." Shopkeeper Tong took the main seat first.

Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng also sat down in the bottom position.

Shopkeeper Tong asked, "Excuse me, young lady, how are you going to wholesale our cloth?"

Tang Peipei didn't say anything. Lu Lifeng quietly pulled Tang Peipei's sleeve, signaling her to speak.

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Since the shopkeeper is not sincere in cooperating, why bother asking me so much?" Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

Although she came here on her own, she didn't have to beg him for help, so why should she accept his unequal treatment?

Shopkeeper Tong was stunned. "Why are you so angry, young lady? We can discuss anything we want to say." Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile.

When Tang Peipei heard him say this, she stopped and turned to look at Manager Tong.

Shopkeeper Tong quickly said, "Sit down first." Then he shouted outside, "Bring the tea."

After a while, a waiter came in and served hot tea to Tang Peipei and Lu Lifeng.

Shopkeeper Tong made a gesture of invitation.

Tang Peipei slowly picked up the tea and took a sip.

Shopkeeper Tong looked at Tang Peipei's behavior and immediately did not dare to look down on her. He smiled and said, "How is it? Can you tell me now, young lady?"

Tang Peipei put down the teacup with a smile, "Manager Tong, next time you entertain people, please don't use ordinary tea dregs. It's embarrassing."

Shopkeeper Tong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His good tea was not for entertaining country women like Tang Peipei.

Shopkeeper Tong complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Our shop is simple, I must remember to prepare some tea next time."

Tang Peipei didn't say anything, she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, my name is Tang, and I want to come to the capital to see the world. Now I want to cooperate with you. I will give you 20% profit on the purchase price, and how about you give me the wholesale quantity of cloth I want?"

When Shopkeeper Tong heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Young lady, are you taking advantage of me?"

Tang Peipei didn't care whether he was really angry or not, and said, "Boss, think about it clearly. Generally, no matter how good the cloth is, you can only make 50 to 60 percent after deducting the purchase price and travel expenses, but you have to buy them one by one, and you only get the price of one piece when you buy one piece. And the quantity I want is not small. Every time I buy goods, I will buy at least ten pieces of each kind of cloth, and I want every kind. You can do the math, if you do this, you will make a net profit."

Shopkeeper Tong calculated in his mind and the profit did seem to be not low. However, compared to selling individually, he would definitely make more money. After all, his business was not bad.

For a moment, he was a little undecided, after all, no one had ever done this before.

I had no choice but to say to Tang Peipei, "Young lady, your suggestion is indeed good, but I am only the shopkeeper of this store. I still need to ask my boss about this matter. How about this, you come back in three days and I will give you an answer then."

Tang Peipei didn't make things difficult for him and stood up to say goodbye.

Tang Peipei didn't expect that she had already given what she thought was a high price, but the other party was still unwilling to accept it. She felt a little uncertain. Was it because she had given too low a price? But this was already the highest price she could offer.

Seeing that Tang Peipei was a little listless, Lu Lifeng comforted her, "It's okay. If this company doesn't want to, we can just find another one."

However, Tang Peipei felt that she had clearly seen that the shopkeeper was somewhat tempted, but why did he become unwilling after she mentioned the price? She thought she had controlled her momentum very well.

After all, Tang Peipei had never done business before, and she didn't know much about ancient business. The reason why she was able to make so much money before was just because she was lucky. It happened that Zeng Xiuyuan's store was not doing well, and the clothes she designed were indeed very innovative.

Now that they have arrived in the capital, their business is not bad to begin with, and most of the shops in the capital have noble people behind them, so they don't have to worry about customers, and sales will naturally not be bad.

Shopkeeper Tong did think that Tang Peipei’s proposal was a good direction, so he went to ask for advice from the boss behind the scenes.

"Madam, today a young lady came to our store and said that she wanted to use the 20% profit from our store's purchase price to buy cloth in bulk. What do you think?"

The boss behind Shopkeeper Tong is the wife of Mr. Song, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the shop run by Shopkeeper Tong was Mrs. Song's dowry. The business of the shop is very good now, and she does not need to expand the business.

So she said without thinking, "No, just run the business well."

Shopkeeper Tong nodded and left the room.

He had said it, but his boss just didn't agree.

Tang Peipei returned home in a bad mood. She didn't expect that business in Beijing would be so difficult. It seemed that she had taken it for granted.

In the past, I focused on medicine and learned fashion design when I had free time to kill time. Now I know that fashion design is not only about designing clothes, but also about the ability to negotiate business.

This is truly a science that has its own unique aspects.

Now that there is no other way out, is she just going to give up like this? But the whole family has followed her so far, is all the hard work along the way going to be in vain?

Tang Peipei was somewhat unwilling. She didn't want to give up before even starting. This was not her style.

Tang Peipei thought about it for two days at home, and finally decided to go and ask Manager Tong. Otherwise, she would never give up. If there was really no other way, then she would go to the place introduced by Zeng Xiuyuan.

As a result, Tang Peipei left in a hurry without even seeing Manager Tong.

Tang Peipei was extremely disappointed.

I had no choice but to take out the address Zeng Xiuyuan gave me and go there.

"Who are you looking for, young lady?" A young woman came out to open the door.

Tang Peipei smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this Du Yuhang's home?"

The woman looked Tang Peipei up and down and asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

Seeing that the woman did not invite him in, Tang Peipei had no choice but to stand outside the door and said, "I want to do some cloth business with him."

The woman only left one sentence, "You don't need to look for him anymore, he is dead." After that, she didn't care about Tang Peipei and just closed the door heavily.

Tang Peipei was turned down and felt even more depressed.

Seeing this, Lu Lifeng didn't know what to say. He could only drive the car silently and take Tang Peipei back.

Tang Peipei locked herself in her room as soon as she got home.

Tang's mother quietly asked Lu Lifeng what happened.

Lu Lifeng thought he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth.

Liu Yeling said with some dissatisfaction: "Look, look, this is why you had to come to the capital. Now you are here, after months of hard work. But now you are in the capital, and you can't do anything. You can't buy land, and you can't do business."

When Tang's mother heard what Liu Yeling said, she felt guilty, but she couldn't say anything to defend herself.

Seeing that his sister was very embarrassed, Lu Lifeng shouted at Liu Yeling, "Shut up."

Liu Yeling was already dissatisfied, and now facing her husband's angry words, she was even more angry. She cried and said, "How dare you be so mean to me? Do you think that now that you are far away from my parents' home, you can bully me at will?"

For the first time, Lu Lifeng felt that his wife was somewhat unreasonable and wanted to say something else.

Tang's mother was afraid that they would start quarreling, so she quickly grabbed her brother.

He said to Liu Yeling, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Li Feng didn't mean it just now. He was just worried, so his tone was a little harsh. Don't mind it."

Seeing her aunt say this, Liu Yeling recalled what she had just said, and felt that she seemed to have said something too much, and felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, aunt, I just said that, don't mind it."

Tang's mother patted her hands and said, "We are all family, so let's not say those inappropriate words."

The two smiled at each other, and the matter was over.

All that is left is the family's worry about the future.
