I trade in both worlds

The next morning, after the escort agency came to take away the champagne, Xu Ziqing rushed back to the capital to open a shop.

Xu Xu remembered the bag he had sent to Feng Jie before. There was no reply yet, and he wondered if Feng Jie had come back.

At this time, Feng Ji was sitting in the side hall of Liu's mansion, waiting for Liu Fu's arrival.

Not long after, Liu Fu hurried over. He was wearing a brocade robe and had a smile on his face, looking very friendly.

"Shopkeeper Feng, long time no see." He greeted warmly.

Sister Feng bowed quickly and responded respectfully: "Master Liu, I hope you are well."

Liu Fu gestured to Fengjie to sit down, and he sat down opposite her as well, his eyes falling on the bundle beside Fengjie.

Curiously, he asked, "Manager Feng, what good things did you bring back to Beijing this time?"

Sister Feng smiled slightly, took out the two bags from her bag, and gently placed them on the table.

"It's a good thing. Please have a look, Chief Steward Liu."

Liu Fu picked up the brown sheepskin bag curiously and examined it carefully. The delicate silver thread and the small butterfly buckle made his eyes light up.

"This bag looks pretty good," he exclaimed.

Sister Feng quickly corrected her: "This is not called a bag, this is called a bag. The one with the flap is called an envelope bag, and the one with a drawer is called a lucky bag."

Chief Steward Liu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Bao Bao? This name is quite fresh."

After saying that, he picked up the black lucky bag and pulled it gently. He was amazed by the internal structure.

"It's really clever. I'm afraid this bag will cause a sensation in the capital."

Sister looked at Liu Fu's surprised expression and was secretly proud of herself. She knew that the bag she brought this time would definitely impress Liu Fu.

"Master Steward Liu, what do you think of these two bags?" asked Sister Feng.

Liu Fu nodded and said seriously, "Very good. But, Sister Feng, where did you get these two?"

Seeing Liu Fu praising the bags, Fengjie said softly, "Master Liu, these two bags are not something you can just buy casually. They were made by Madam Xu from Xu Village. She drew the blueprints and made them herself."

"Mrs. Xu?" Liu Fu was stunned. "I didn't expect that she would do this."

Sister Feng smiled slightly: "Ms. Xu is not only skilled in craftsmanship, but also thoughtful. The bags she designed are both practical and beautiful. I believe they will be loved by the noble ladies in the capital."

Liu Fu nodded and asked, "What do you think of bringing Sister Feng to Beijing?"

Sister Feng nodded and continued, "Ms. Xu not only has good craftsmanship, but also innovative designs. I think if we can cooperate with her, we will definitely be able to open up a new market."

"How do we cooperate?" Liu Fu looked at her curiously and asked.

Sister Feng smiled and expressed her thoughts: "General Manager Liu, we can cooperate with Madam Xu to open a bag workshop in Guoyue County, and let Madam Xu invest in the workshop with the bag design drawings, and hold 30% of the shares."

Liu Fu frowned when he heard this: "Cooperation? A 30% stake? Is this what Madam Xu asked for?"

Sister Feng shook her head and explained, "Mrs. Xu just wanted to sell the blueprints. She felt that although her craftsmanship was good, she didn't have enough time and energy to make too many bags."

"So, she wanted to sell the blueprints to us and let us find someone to make and sell them ourselves. But I think that's a pity."

"If you buy the blueprints, there is no need to build a workshop, because you don't know when the next blueprint will be available."

"But if I take a share, she will have to do her best to run the workshop and produce more new and innovative bags. In this way, we can cooperate for a long time and make money together."

Liu Fu was silent for a while after hearing this, and he was thinking about the pros and cons of this cooperation.

If you buy the blueprints, you can start making and selling bags immediately, but there is no subsequent support and guarantee.

If we take a share, although we need to invest more money and time, we can have long-term cooperation. Moreover, Xu Niangzi's design is really good, and this bag will definitely have a market.

Thinking of this, Liu Fu looked up at Sister Feng and asked, "Just these two bags, will that work? We need more styles to attract customers."

Fengjie said confidently: "These leathers can be dyed, and each style can be made into several colors. Besides, Madam Xu still has many new design drawings that she hasn't brought out yet."

"We can discuss with her and ask her to regularly introduce new styles to us. In this way, we can constantly update our products and attract customers' attention."

Liu Fu pondered for a moment and put forward his own opinion: "Shopkeeper Feng, the market in Beijing is bigger and the spending power is stronger, why not open a workshop here?"

Sister Feng was well prepared and explained, "General Manager Liu, Xu Xu is in Guoyue County. She is the design soul of these bags."

"If the workshop is located in the capital, we have to travel back and forth every time we produce a new drawing, which not only wastes time but may also affect the progress of the workshop."

"In Guoyue County, we can transform designs into products in the fastest way and quickly capture the market."

Liu Fu nodded, thinking that what Sister Feng said made sense, but he still had concerns in his heart: "But, Guoyue County is remote after all."

"This is indeed a problem, but it is not unsolvable." Sister Feng said confidently: "Although Guoyue County is remote, the monthly salary of an embroiderer is lower than that in the capital. In addition, Youzhou is rich in furs and the selling price is lower than that in the capital. The overall cost can be reduced a lot."

"As for transportation, we already have regular caravans going to Guoyue County. At most, we can just make one more trip, which will only take six or seven days."

Liu Fu looked at Sister Feng and nodded: "Okay, I'll report to the master when he comes back."

Feng Jie was delighted, but she remained calm: "Then I'll leave it to Chief Steward Liu. I'll wait for your good news."

Liu Liufu smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are all here to help the master. Are you staying at the mansion today?"

"No, I'd rather stay at the inn where it's convenient to go in and out." Sister Feng politely declined Liu Fu's invitation.

Fengjie didn't want to stay in the mansion, so she had to carry her luggage everywhere and visit people everywhere. After the discussion, she decided to leave quickly.

After saying this, Feng Ji said goodbye to Liu Fu and walked out of Liu's house.

She knew that this trip to the capital would be an important turning point in her life.

If successful, she will not only be able to fight for Xu Xu's due rights and interests, but also take Jinxiu Pavilion to a higher level.

After returning to the inn, Fengjie tossed and turned in bed.

The conversation with Liu Fu and the design of the bag kept appearing in her mind.

She was thinking about how to further improve the workshop plan, how to convince Master Liu Yuan, how to ensure Xu Xu's rights and interests... These questions were like mountains pressing on her heart, making her unable to sleep.

After seeing Fengjie off, Liu Fu sat alone in the side hall, playing with the two exquisite bags in his hands, and fell into deep thought.
