After Su Wan explained, Mrs. Li finally calmed down a bit, and finally gave Su Luo a few words, and then Su Wan took Su Luo away.
On the way back, Su Wan reached out to touch Su Luo's head and smiled helplessly.
Although she likes Su Luo hanging around her, she can't snatch her daughter. She thinks that she should find a chance to send her back, lest her father go to Jingpingyuan to settle accounts with her.
It's a bit too much for you to marry and leave the house, but you even abducted your sister.
If she lives any longer, her father will probably be furious.
Su Luo happily returned to Jingpingyuan, and then went to play with Zhang Fu'er, without even noticing that her sister was planning to send her home.
In the afternoon, the chief manager came to report on the business of the shop in the first half of the year, and Su Guan received him in the Hospitality Garden of the Outer Court.
The Yue family left a rich dowry, including sixteen shops, three houses, and six farms.
As for the shop, there were eight stores when the Yue family got married, and five stores were added later when the Yue family operated it by themselves, making a total of thirteen stores. The latter three stores were jointly managed by Jinning and Zhen Guo It was added at the time, and she has now transferred these three houses to the Zhen Guo Gongfu.
These thirteen shops have their own operations, and the business has been pretty good over the years, with a lot of income every month.
At that time, these shops were managed by Jinning Duke's Mansion and Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion, and together with the big steward in front of him, Lin Guanshi, who was in charge of the shopkeeper Lin, and the people sent by the two mansions were to reconcile the accounts. .
Now that Su Wan is married, she also needs to look over the accounts, but the two people who made the arrangements have not withdrawn. In the future, Su Wan will not be here, so they still need to be watched by those two people.
"Recently, the business of Baochailou is very good, and the business of Huazan shop is a bit sluggish."
There is a store in the shop that buys flower hairpins. That shop is not comparable to a silver building like Baochai Building. It buys ordinary things, such as gold hairpins, silver hairpins, silk flowers, and velvet flowers.
It's not a noble business, but ordinary little girls and daughters-in-law still like to patronize it. It looks a bit inconspicuous, but in fact they have made a lot of money.
Recently, the fact that Baochai Building is going is very strange.
In the past, silver houses such as Baochai Building were engaged in the business of nobles, and even a silver hairpin had to be made very exquisite, and the price was very expensive, and ordinary people could hardly afford it. The jewelry of Zhibaochailou is the pride.
That is to say, during the recent period, Baochai Tower has not only released a lot of lovely new products on the side of precious jewelry, but even ordinary small businesses such as small silver hairpins, small silver bracelets, silk flowers, and velvet flowers have been snapped up. , and it is not expensive, which has a great impact on the surrounding small shops.
People in the world are not stupid. For the same price, it is naturally best to buy well-known brands.
Su Wan thought of the Seven Fairies bracelet she bought for Su Luo and Zhang Fu'er that day, and squinted her eyes slightly, wondering if the matter of Baochailou might have something to do with Su Ran.
Speaking of which, she hadn't heard about Su Ran for a long time.
"How does Steward Lin think this matter should be resolved?"
Guanshi Lin said: "My subordinates have two ideas. One is to wait and see what happens. Although the movement of Baochai Tower has indeed hit the business of small shops, there are also disadvantages."
"In the past, people in the world were proud of getting jewelry from Baochailou, and noble ladies and wives from various prefectures also liked to go shopping at Baochailou, thinking that they were worthy of their noble status."
"But for a long time, ordinary people have been able to wear jewelry from Baochailou, so there is no dignity at all. Ladies and wives will definitely not like it, and will never buy jewelry from Baochailou again in the future."
"Which side makes more money, Baochailou will naturally come to its senses, and will definitely give up the ordinary jewelry business at that time, and this business will naturally come back."
"If so, the shop won't be able to make much money in the past few months."
"And there is another bad thing. Recently, Baochailou has invited a master from somewhere, and they have produced a lot of beautiful jewelry. If Baochailou keeps producing new jewelry, it will be loved by all the noble ladies and wives. The only thing is that it doesn¡¯t have much impact on business.¡±
?Su Guan finally understood that Baochai Building took the high-end route, while his own shop took the low-end route. Now that Baochai Building has earned the money of the nobles, it is not counted, and the ordinary people's money is also wanted.
Su Wan's eyes fell on the tea soup in the teacup, and after a while, he asked Steward Lin again: "Then what's the second thought?"
Guanshi Lin said: "The second thought is to ask the owner if he wants to make this shop bigger?"
Su Wan groaned in his heart, and looked at him slightly surprised.The steward, Steward Lin, is in his forties this year. He is neither tall nor short, neither thin nor fat, and has an ordinary appearance, but he is smiling and easy to talk to.
"Do you want to make this shop bigger?"
Steward Lin nodded: "I really thought about it. Previously, the boss was not in charge, so I could only operate according to the original management method, but now that the boss is in charge, I really want to mention this matter."
"There are many dignitaries in the Dicheng clan, and there is no shortage of rich people. With the name of the owner, there must be no shortage of guests. The subordinates thought about changing the shop into a place to customize jewelry according to the nobles' requirements."
Su Wan was even more surprised now: "Steward Lin said private order?"
It was the first time Manager Lin heard this statement, but he also felt that the description was very appropriate: "That's exactly what it means. At that time, the shop will set the price higher, and it will be much better than now to do a few businesses a month."
Su Wan thought for a while. Although it was good for the shop to do business for ordinary people, but now that Baochailou is doing this, and there may be Su Ran behind it, once Baochailou continues to do business for ordinary people, the shop will be afraid. I can't make any money.
But if it is specially made for customization, the idea is good, but if the style is not as good as that of Baochailou, then it is useless.
Su Wan shook the fan in his hand, and then asked: "I don't know if Manager Lin has seen the new style of jewelry in Baochailou. If he has seen it, let's talk about whether the jewelry we made can compare Pass?"
"Of course I went to see it." Lin Guanshi said, "Baochailou's jewelry is indeed well made, and the style is also very good, but they are all light and use less materials. They look good, but they are a little easy to break. On the other hand, it can be made into more expensive jewelry, which can be used as a family heirloom in the future."
"My subordinates have also found a good craftsman here. He has been making jewelry for more than 20 years, and he is especially good at it."
Su Wan thought for a while, and then said after a long time: "You can write down what you think and show me, how to run the business, who are the customers, how much money do you need to invest, and what other things you need, all listed together. I'll talk about it after I've read it." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
