Chapter 112 Let’s Set a Small Goal First
On the third floor of Su Jin's tailor shop, there is a spacious hall and three rooms. Zhao Susu has no intention of using it for business.
She turned the room on the left into a study, the one in the middle into Meng Yu's, and the one on the right into her own.
Meng Yu has grown up, and although he depends on her, he wants to have his own room. Since she has the conditions, of course she satisfies him!
As for that hall, that is her studio.
She can design and make the clothes she wants here, and can also store some patterns and styles.
It cost a full one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy this shop.
But the shop is large, not only has three floors, but also has a yard at the back, so it is not a loss at all.
At this moment, Zhao Susu was checking accounts in the study.
It has only been open for ten days, but the turnover in these ten days is as much as the town’s turnover in two years.
Zhao Susu came to a conclusion: the bigger the place, the more money one can make.
She thought that she should consider expanding her business, and the provincial capital or the county town could also be considered.
Of course, it’s just a thought now. After all, we are not familiar with the place and we still need to be more prepared.
Then let’s set a small goal first. Three years later, open your own shop in the city!
Zhao Susu was full of energy and a smile unconsciously flashed across her lips.
She closed the account book, walked out of the study and went downstairs.
Going out from the back door on the first floor, there is a courtyard, and behind the courtyard are two rows of houses, each with four rooms.
Among those houses, one row is the embroiderers' studios, and the other row is their residence.
There were two embroiderers in one room. They cut and sewed the clothes inside and took the finished clothes to the front to sell.
Some are custom made and are just waiting to be picked up.
There is also a well in the yard.
Zhao Susu followed Meng Yu's advice and placed a row of water buckets next to the well, all filled with water, for both washing and fire prevention.
In the town, the business is small, so you can save on some aspects, but in the county, these savings cannot be saved.
Zhao Susu still wants to expand the scale. Although the business is good since it opened a short time ago, she feels that this may not last long.
After all, there are many ready-made clothing shops in the county town.
The old-fashioned Jinshang Huafu, Hua Xiangrong and others all have regular customers, even if she innovates and constantly builds her reputation.
But the county town is so small, and clothes will not wear out in a month or two. Except for those very rich people, ordinary people do not have so much money to support themselves even if they have a strong desire to buy.
Instead of competing with those tailor shops in the county, it is better to think of other ways.
Her previous collaboration with Hua Xiangrong had already opened up her mind, and she also had two cooperating garment shops in the city.
But she felt that there could be more, not limited to the provincial capital, but also in neighboring counties and neighboring prefectures.
However, these have to be done step by step.
Yu Yuanda was a very capable shopkeeper, so Zhao Susu simply gave him a 10% share.
He is also a small boss, and he works hard for himself.
Half a month after the shop opened, Zhao Susu took the clothing samples and went to the neighboring county, bringing along four hired guards as usual.
The cooperation with Zhao Lei and his men was pretty good, so Zhao Susu hired them from the Lei Ting Gang.
This time, Meng Yu did not go with them, but she gave Zhao Susu some good things: a small bamboo tube that could spray out chili water when pressed, and a powder that could make people sleepy.
Zhao Susu was amazed at the wonderful ideas in Meng Yu's little head, but she still accepted them with pleasure.
It would be great to have this thing to protect yourself when you go out.
In an alley in the north of the county town, Xu Laosan stared at Feng Si fiercely with fire in his eyes.
Feng Si smiled and said, "Third brother, don't be angry. Although in the past, we brothers could do whatever we wanted, but we had no money and were scolded by others. Now it's different. Although the boss has restrictions on us, she also gives us money. What's wrong with doing this?"
Xu Laosan wanted to spit on him, but looking at the small figure standing next to him, he swallowed his anger and said nothing.
His face was still a little swollen and his body was in pain.
This also forced him to face up to a fact. Damn it, he was a man who had made a name for himself in the county's gang circle with his fists and made them bow their heads and obey him, but he couldn't even beat a five or six-year-old child.
This kid's fists hurt so much, and her body is as flexible as a loach. You can't hit her, but it hurts when she hits you. It's really suffocating!
And she had the audacity to say that she wanted to be her own boss.
And they also said that most of their previous jobs are no longer allowed, and asked them to turn over a new leaf? Isn't this a joke?
So how could he not hate Feng Si, who used the excuse of having something to offer as a filial gift but actually tricked him out?
Meng Yu looked at Xu Lao San who looked unconvinced: "How is it? Have you thought it through? Will you work with me?"
Xu Laosan snorted: "Even if you beat me to death, I won't agree!"
Meng Yu glanced at him and didn't seem surprised. She just patted the non-existent dust on her hands and said cheerfully, "Since you are so determined, I won't force you. If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will. I don't have to rely on you!"
As she spoke, she threw out a piece of silver and said, "Take it to heal your wounds."
He also said, "Feng Si is my subordinate, don't attack him. Otherwise, I will beat him even harder next time, and you won't even have money to recover from your injuries!"
Feng Si looked at Meng Yu in surprise. He had failed to reach an agreement with Xu Laosan just now, and Feng Si was still a little worried. He coaxed him out, but in the end he was defeated by the little boss. Xu Laosan would definitely not let him go.
This Xu Laosan is cruel and ruthless. If you fall into his hands, you will lose half your life.
But the young boss also thought of this and gave Xu Laosan a special warning.
The feeling of being protected made Feng Si feel warm inside.
Seeing the two figures, one big and one small, leaving, Xu Laosan spat fiercely on the ground.
This time he was asked out alone, and although he was beaten, his fellow brothers didn't know about it, so it wasn't too embarrassing. He took note of this account, and he would get it back one day.
After they walked away, Feng Sicai asked quietly: "Boss, are you really not going to subdue him? All the hooligans in this county listen to him. We just took the initiative to provoke him, what if he retaliates?"
"How can you provoke him? You are clearly giving him money, but he doesn't want it. There are people who do!"
Feng Si always had a very explosive feeling. This little boss was small in stature and age, but he spoke and acted very maturely, yet his voice was so childish.
Half a month ago, she told herself that she could earn more money by taking a few brothers to the county town.
I don't know why, but he agreed without even thinking about it. At that time, he completely forgot that the little boss was just a child.
He tried to ignore the contrast and said flatteringly, "Boss, who should we look for now?"
Meng Yu casually pointed to the north.
Feng Si's face immediately showed disdain, and there was deep fear in his eyes: "Really, do you really want to go find him?"
