Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 134 Coming up with ideas

"Later, people in the village spread the rumor that he was unlucky in marriage, and people from the surrounding villages were afraid to marry their girls to him. He has remained single until now."

"Poor kid." Lan Qiuhua patted his arm and said distressedly, "Don't listen to what others say. Auntie will keep an eye out for you."

Liu Dali forced a smile and changed the subject.

When they arrived in the town, Shen Rongshan sent her and Shen Suya to Jinxiufang.

Ji Wenhe was carrying a basket. When the two of them went in, Yang Yun was not there. There were only two shop assistants.

They all knew her. One of them came over and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, our boss is in the backyard. I'll go and invite you."

She nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

The shop was rearranged, with the right side vacated and wooden shelves filled with raccoon dolls of different colors, large and small.

Shen Suya's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled her arm and walked to the right. Then the smile on her face disappeared. She approached her and spoke in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, see, your performance as a raccoon slave has been copied by others."

Although she thought these dolls were pretty, the ideas were from her sister-in-law.

On second thought, there was nothing they could do to prevent others from imitating her style.

Seeing that she didn't show any anger on her face, he thought she was holding it in, and immediately comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, let's talk to her properly."

"I'm not angry." Ji Wenhe said with a smile, "Don't be angry either, I sold this style to the boss."

"what?"

"Well, the style has been sold to the boss, and the boss will pay me, so let's not be angry."

At this moment, Yang Yun came out from the backyard with a sad look on her face. After seeing them, she smiled and said, "The two girls are here."

They had said before that it’s better not to act too familiar in crowded places.

"Yes, Boss Yang, the thread is ready. Please take a look."

"And my boss Yang." Shen Suya put the basket on the counter, her eyes fixed on the puppet next to her.

After Yang Yun looked at the silk thread, she counted out the wages and handed them to them. She said to Ji Wenhe, "Miss, you said last time that you wanted to buy some hemp thread. I'll take you in to choose some."

Buying twine is fake, saying something is real.

"Excuse me, Boss Yang." She turned and looked at Shen Suya: "Xiaoya, wait for me outside for a while."

"Hey, sister-in-law, go ahead. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time to choose."

The two men came into the cabin and spoke in low voices.

"Boss Yang, how are the dolls selling?"

Yang Yun nodded: "It sold well at the beginning, but a lot of shops have copied it in the past two days, but it's all within expectations."

"I told the people who came to buy dolls that according to your instructions, there are holiday specials and so on. Many girls chose my shop and asked their sisters to come."

"Then why do you still look so sad?"

I saw it when I came out.

"Alas, the puppets have been copied, but I am not worried. The only thing is that someone will pay a high price to poach my embroiderer."

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. They are here to make money, and they turn around and follow the shop that pays the highest. We can't say anything to them."

"But they had agreed to it, and they only embroidered half of it with me, and then went to someone else's house. Fortunately, I didn't tell them the other design, otherwise I would have lost a lot more."

After saying that, Yang Yun sighed again.

Ji Wenhe touched his chin and said, "It's very troublesome. If I were you, Boss Yang, and you promised something, but then you followed someone else, no matter what the reason, I would never use such a person again."

"I had no other choice but to hire a new embroiderer. It took a few days to finish the work and I sold fewer dolls, but the business actually got better."

Looking at the person opposite him who was thinking with his head down, he asked tentatively.

"Wen He, do you have any ideas? We can prevent the embroiderer from being poached again."

"This method of charging more money won't work. I can't compete with the big shops there. Can you give me some advice?"

She thought for a while and raised her head: "Sign the contract?"

Yang Yun shook her head: "There is no contract signed. The embroiderers don't just take work from my family. They may also take work from other families. If they sign a contract, they can only work for one family."

"No embroiderer is willing to do this. It's like signing a contract to sell herself. If there is no work in the shop, they can't go to other families to take work. How can the elderly and children at home be willing to wait?"

"Boss Yang, raise the wages a little bit, and write it in the contract. If there is no work in the shop and we can't guarantee how much money they will get every month, they can voluntarily ask to leave."

Ji Wenhe paused for a moment and spoke again.

"If you sign a contract and want to leave because someone else offers a higher price, you will have to pay three times the amount of your loss."

Yang Yun frowned: "But if they join hands and say that I haven't fulfilled the promise in the contract, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

"Boss Yang, I asked you to make the puppet and send it to the county magistrate's wife and daughter. Have you done it?"

"Yes, the county magistrate had several concubines, all of them were given away, including the children, nearly 30 of them were given away, I was heartbroken."

...That's quite a lot.

"I used fine materials and good needlework to make the ones I sent to the county magistrate's family. They naturally loved them very much. I also told them that I would send them new ones next time when they come out."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Then Boss Yang, do you have a way to get any of them to come to your shop?"

Yang Yun frowned: "It's possible. There was a lady who came to my shop several times and asked me when I would release new styles. She liked them very much."

"In this way, Boss Yang can gather the embroiderers in your backyard and use the excuse of taking my aunt to see how they embroider. You can find any excuse you want."

"As long as you can bring her to the embroiderers and let them know that she is the county magistrate's favorite concubine, and let them know that you are very familiar with each other."

"After you send your aunt away, tell the embroiderers that you know the county magistrate's wife and that they like the dolls in your shop and that you have a good relationship with each other, etc."

"In short, there is only one purpose, to let them know that you have a close relationship with the county magistrate's wife, and that if you need their help, they will agree immediately."

Yang Yun suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean, why didn't I think of it."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Boss Yang was bothered by the matter of recruiting embroiderers, so he didn't think of using this relationship."

"Don't flatter me." He grabbed her hand and patted the back of her hand gently, with admiration in his eyes, "The girl is capable of doing big business, she really doesn't want to come to our town."

"I'm not kidding. With your ability, you might be able to go to the capital in the future. Why do you have to stay in this small mountain village?"

She has been in business for many years and has seen countless people. She can tell at a glance what some people are thinking and what kind of people they are.

The person in front of me is definitely not as simple as he looks. He is a businessman.
