My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 509

[Chapter 498 Zhoujia Bufang (first update)]

The middle-aged man is called Zhou Gui, the master of Zhou Jia Bufang and Zhou Ziqiong’s father.

As the name suggests, the Zhou nobles grew up to be rich and noble.

Not only is he rich, he is also the richest man in Ruzhou City – to be precise, he should be the richest businessman in Anguo. The people in Ruzhou City say that the Zhou family is as rich as the country. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show how rich the Zhou family is. !

All the cloth workshops and cloth shops in the entire city of Ruzhou are the property of the Zhou family. Not only that, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Ziqiong, is unmatched in business talent. workshop, and will also develop some novel fabrics.

The Huanhua Jade Brocade was made by her.

At that time, most of the cloths sold in the market in Anguo were light-colored clothes. Occasionally, some brightly colored cloths were mostly bleached and dyed with flower dyes. Although they looked bright at first, they would slowly fade after wearing them. , especially after washing, the color of the clothes will fade in patches, which is very ugly.

Therefore, this kind of clothes with dyes seems to be very useless, and no one cares about it anymore. However, there is still a desire for this kind of clothes in the market, but there is no one with good quality.

At this time, Zhou Ziqiong’s Huanhua Jade Brocade came out.

Unlike those inferior dye cloths before, Huanhua Jade Brocade is not only more colorful and brighter, but most importantly, it will not fade due to hand washing!

Therefore, after the first batch of Huanhua Jade Brocade came out, it made Zhou Ziqiong and Zhoujia Bufang famous!

Before the advent of Huanhua Jade Brocade, Zhoujia Cloth Shop was just a relatively large cloth shop in Ruzhou City. However, with the popularity of Huanhua Jade Brocade and the shortage of demand, Zhoujia Cloth Shop took advantage of this to expand its scale and leapfrog. And Qi became the largest merchant in Ruzhou City!

At that time, Zhou Gui took advantage of the situation and asked Zhou Ziqiong to take over the business of Zhoujia Cloth Factory. Just when everyone thought that Zhou Ziqiong would guard Ruzhou and stabilize the business of the cloth shop, Zhou Ziqiong chose to open a branch of Zhoujia Cloth Factory in Ruzhou. Anguo traveled to various places and relied on the advantages of Huanhua Jade Brocade to quickly open up the situation.

At this point, Zhoujia Bufang has become a giant among merchants.

The Zhou family has been running a cloth workshop for many years and has made many kinds of fabrics, but there is only one type they have not made, and that is cotton-padded clothes.

It’s not that the Zhou family doesn’t want to, but cotton can only be grown by the barbarians of Western Xinjiang, and the barbarians of Western Xinjiang regard cotton as a treasure and will not easily pass on the planting technology and cotton seeds to Anguo, and the climate of Anguo does not seem to be suitable for growing cotton. It is said that someone once planted it in Jiangling, but it could not be done well and had to give up.

Therefore, the cotton-padded clothes or quilts sold by Zhoujia Cloth Shop are the same as other cloth shops in Anguo. They are filled with reed flowers. They are not only uncomfortable to wear, but most importantly, they are not warm.

It can be said that the people of Anguo have been without cotton for a long time.

Last year, I didn’t know where I got cotton seeds, and suddenly someone in western Jinxi tried to plant cotton on a large scale. The most important thing is that it was successful!

Everyone knows that behind this is actually King Jin.

It’s a pity that because the asking price is too high, no one is interested.

So Zhou Gui secured all the cotton planted by King Jin through his connections. However, because the winter was over when he bought the cotton, the cotton was in the warehouse.

New cotton came out again this year. Zhou Gui still bought all the new cotton from King Jin at a high price. Zhou Ziqiong had gone to pull cotton before.

“Zi Qiong, dad is not as good as you in business, and in terms of vision, dad is not as good as you, but in this matter, dad has to be the master again, because dad can imagine how popular cotton-padded clothes will be in the future!”

Zhou Ziqiong nodded, but at the same time said: “Dad, my daughter also knows the benefits of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, but after all, this cotton has only been planted in Anguo for only two years, and the price is not low. It is still unknown whether the people of Anguo can accept it. We Last year’s cotton has not been used yet. It has become old cotton after being stored for a year. Now I want so much at once, okay?”

Zhou Gui waved his hand with a smile and said, “When you made Huanhua Jade Brocade, the price was very high. It’s much higher than cotton. Do you remember what dad told you? But as a result, even though the price is high, the supply of Huanhua Jade Brocade is still in short supply! “

Dad… this is different…”

Zhou Ziqiong thought for a while and said: “Things are rare and expensive. Huanhua Jade Brocade is very troublesome to make, and the dye formula is unique to our Zhou family, so we dare to set a high price. But no one grows this cotton. This is because the war between Anguo and Xijiang is tense. , You can’t go to Western Xinjiang to get cotton seeds, and everyone has heard that someone in Jiangling has planted it, but the weather and land in Anguo are not suitable for cotton.”

“Now that King Jin has planted it, he will definitely grow it in the future. There are many people following the trend, and the price of cotton will also drop. If we buy so much at a high price now, we will probably lose money in the future!”

But Zhou Gui disagreed.

He glanced at Zhou Ziqiong and said earnestly: “Zi Qiong, dad knows about your grievances with Prince Jin’s Mansion, but we are open to do business. We can’t just let it go just because of some grievances, right?”

Seeing Zhou Ziqiong about to speak, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop it. : “And buying cotton to make quilts is not only for business, but also for the sake of the people of Ruzhou City and even the entire Anguo! Let them have cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the winter in the future! So, not only did I buy it last year, but I also bought it this year, and next year I still want to buy it!”

“It doesn’t matter if you press the cotton, it’s better than letting others buy it, and dad believes that as soon as our first batch of cotton-padded clothes and quilts come out, the cotton in the warehouse will not be enough! We all know that Jin Wang sent people to grow this cotton, so do you think anyone else dares to grow it? So as long as we buy all Jin Wang’s cotton, we will be the only ones in this cotton clothing business!”

“Dad——”

“Okay, Zi Qiong, don’t talk anymore! Let dad be the master this time, and our family has a big business. Even if the cotton-padded clothes business really suffers a loss and is cheated, it’s just bloodletting. It won’t be a problem!”

Zhou After Gui finished speaking, he entered the mansion with a smile.

Zhou Ziqiong sighed, helpless.

After returning home and entering the house, the little girl who had previously quarreled with Jing Zhe poured a cup of tea for Zhou Ziqiong and said softly: “Miss, are you not happy about being criticized by the master?”

Zhou Ziqiong shook his head and said with a smile: “Dad is right. Maybe it’s just because of the grudge with King Jin that I’m a little too cautious? This cotton-padded clothes business may really be the same as what dad said. It will explode as soon as it starts. Even if you are cheated – it’s not a bad thing. “Oh

? So much cotton, so much money, isn’t it bad?”

“The Zhou family still lost a few thousand taels of silver, but it allowed Dad to see Prince Jin.” His true face, it would be a good thing not to do business with him in the future,”

Zhou Ziqiong said quietly.
