Chapter 36 Negotiations
Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know that Manager Xu in Zhu Cuilou was eager to find her.
She is still patiently waiting for the craze of new jewelry to continue to ferment.
The more popular the new jewelry is, the better it sells. She will be more powerful when she goes to discuss cooperation with Zhu Cuilou.
After all, being on the pole is not a business. You have to wait for others to see the value before you can communicate and cooperate on an equal footing.
The craze for new jewelry continues to surge.
Jiang Zhixia would walk to Feng'an Street almost every day for a walk.
Sometimes, I wander around the street; sometimes, I go to the teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks.
Listening to the people on Feng'an Street, people who bought the new jewelry, proudly showing off to others. Even Mr. Wu's wife in the alley took a step to every family in the alley, including Jiang Zhixia's house, to show off. This step was for several days in a row, and when the curfew was lifted in the morning, she asked her servants to queue up to buy it, and it cost her more than 100 taels of silver.
Jiang Zhixia listened to these discussions on new accessories and kept saying that the time was almost over.
On August 26th, it is a good time to go out to make friends.
After lunch, Jiang Zhixia changed into red clothes that she didn't usually wear, hoping to get a good sign.
He wore a curtain again and did not take Xiaoman, but hired a carriage to Zhucuilou on Sheng'an Street, Nanfang.
When I arrived in Zhucui Building, there was much less crowded. Unlike on the morning of the sale, there were crowds of people.
Seeing Zhixia coming in, an old lady came to serve him and asked with a smile: "Does the girl want to see the Butterfly Flower Jewelry? We will sell it in the morning. It will be sold in the morning. The girl can come early. However, since the girl has come, why not look at other styles?"
Jiang Zhixia did not respond to the old lady's words, but took the old lady to the corner and asked softly: "Are you here at the shopkeeper? I want to see him. Please tell Manager Xu that my surname is Jiang, and he should meet me."
"Please wait for a moment." The woman led Zhixia to the chair behind the screen she had been to last time and sat down. After pouring tea, she went to find the shopkeeper.
Soon, Jiang Zhixia saw Manager Xu jogging all the way.
"Oh, rare guest, rare guest. Miss Jiang invites you upstairs, and upstairs." Before Zhixia could take off her hat, she was invited to the second floor private room she had been to before.
After Jiang Zhixia sat down, Manager Xu couldn't hide his joy and asked urgently: "Don't you know if the girl is still selling jewelry patterns when she comes here?"
Jiang Zhixia looked at Manager Xu's urgency and became more confident about what she was about to say. She smiled and replied, "Yes, not."
When Manager Xu heard this, he raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked silently.
"I can sell jewelry patterns this time, and even just sell them to Guibao. As for the price, everything is easy to discuss. Guibao has also seen the results. The new jewelry patterns are indeed very good." Zhixia said with a smile.
"This is not to be hiding the girl. The girl's drawings are really great. I wonder what conditions are there for the girl to sell the drawings to us Zhu Cuilou?" Manager Xu was not stupid either. He only sold them to the pattern. The profit of the drawings is visible to the naked eye, so the girl must have something to ask for.
"Since I'm talking about this, I won't hide it anymore." Zhixia first stood up and gave a palace court ceremony to show his solemnity. Then he said, "I am the palace maid who was able to release the palace by the emperor's kindness. Both my parents died, and I was the only one left, so I live alone in this capital. I have no other skills, and now I make a living by selling patterns, which is considered to have little family property. What I want is just to be blessed. Of course, I want to be kind to others and not offend others easily. However, I have been in the palace and know that no one has any future plans. I have heard before that the owner behind Zhu Cuilou is a man in the mansion of Weiwu Hou. Weiwu Hou is now in the heart of the emperor and is in a strong sense of holy family. Therefore, I want to change the way to cooperate with Guibaohao for a long time, but the prerequisite for cooperation is to find Zhu Cuilou's blessing. I wonder what the manager Xu thought?"
"Just want to get protection?" Manager Xu pondered.
Speaking of this, Manager Xu can understand Jiang Zhixia’s thoughts.
Since ancient times, ordinary people have had a difficult life.
The lives of ordinary people in the capital are particularly difficult.
After all, there are noble people everywhere in the capital. If you are not careful, you will easily bump into it.
Not to mention, this girl is just alone. She has no parents to protect her, no brothers and sisters to protect her, and she is still poor and has silver products. It is reasonable to seek protection.
This girl has a foresight to have this idea.
Let’s look at her alone, soft and weak, easy-going, and polite, and she shouldn’t cause any big mistakes, right?
"What the girl said is not a big deal, but it is not a small deal. I am just the shopkeeper of Zhu Cuilou, so it is not easy to make decisions without authorization." Although Xu agreed in his heart and sympathized with Zhixia alone, he was just a shopkeeper after all. This kind of thing that needs Zhu Cuilou's protection. In fact, to put it bluntly, he naturally couldn't make decisions if he wanted to get the protection of the Marquis of Weiwu.
So, Manager Xu pondered for a while, measured the gains and losses of protecting Jiang Zhixia, and then said slowly, "Miss is here today, and our boss is in the store. Please wait a moment, and I'll ask for instructions."
Jiang Zhixia was naturally very happy when she heard that the boss was there and when Manager Xu could go directly to ask for instructions, she nodded repeatedly and responded to everything.
Manager Xu left after saying that.
After a stick of incense, Manager Xu came back: "Miss Lao has been waiting for a long time. The boss has some things in his hands, and it has been delayed a little. I told the boss about the girl's affairs and requirements. The boss agreed to the girl's request. However, there is a prerequisite, please forgive me. We must investigate the girl first to ensure that the person we blessed is not someone with hidden information."
Jiang Zhixia was not only not angry, but was happy after hearing this. She knew that they really attached importance to this issue.
It was said that it was a hidden story, probably because they were afraid that they would not be able to cover up the grudges brought by the palace. Perhaps they were also worried that she was a criminal offender, right?
I will not talk about blessings casually for money, but will investigate and bless people who are truly worthy of blessings.
This kind of rigorous behavior is a backer worthy of peace of mind.
"This is of course necessary. Then I will wait for the good news at home. Then we will talk about the details of the cooperation." Zhixia left behind his basic situation and the address of the home, and asked Manager Xu to record it carefully, so she said goodbye and left.
Manager Xu took the paper recording Zhixia's situation to the third floor, knocked on the door and went in and handed the paper to the owner.
The owner who was drinking tea casually took the paper and glanced at it, he was stunned and murmured: "It's her?"
