In the next few days, Tian Minyan was busy completing the plan to open a jewelry shop, and introduced Wen Wen to the county magistrate of Hui'an. Wen Wen's temperament was gentle and kind, and she liked Hui'an's temperament very well. The three of them soon became friends.
Get together.
According to the plan, each person first contributed two thousand taels of silver to test the waters. As for the shop, the lease of a two-story shop under Hui'an's name happened to expire, and that shop no longer rented it. Hui'an took it back to build the shop, and the craftsmen also took it back.
Go to Hui'an to find it.
As for the raw materials for making jewelry, Tian Minyan went to Qi Shiqi and introduced the suppliers to Zhenbaozhai. Tian Minyan mainly used pearls, diamonds, jade and gemstones as raw materials. Of course, there were also gold and silver.
In order to make the jewelry shop an instant success, Tian Minyan takes a high-end route. She sells only two pieces of jewelry a month, with no more than five pieces per piece. The designs are fashionable and novel. Of course, the price is also high. If you want to make special orders, the price will be higher.
.
With the status of the head of Hui'an County, the Xu family is also an official family, Tian Minyan is also a designer, and the manpower was quickly in place, and the decoration of the shop was in full swing.
After staying in the state capital for nearly half a month, Tian Minyan hardly had a free day. She was either discussing the shop with Hui'an and the others, or managing the business on the first floor of the weaving workshop, or being recruited by Qi Shiqi.
After picking it up, it was much busier than when we were in Yangmei Village.
As soon as the business increased, she felt the shortage of manpower. This time, in the joint-venture shop with Hui'an and the others, each shop had a steward. Hui'an was the shopkeeper, Wen Wen was the purchaser, and Tian Minyan was the accountant. She had no available manpower, so she had to let
The white plums are on top first.
Realizing this shortcoming, Tian Minyan shyly went to see Qi Qiqi and asked him to find some smart and intelligent people to use, regardless of gender.
"I really don't know why I am so honored to be your exclusive wife?" Qi Shiqi flicked her forehead hard and hummed.
Tian Minyan flattered and flattered: "Why am I not as capable as the prince? I have few connections and few people I know. Don't worry, I've found everything this time. I've trained my people well, so I won't bother you anymore."
She also knew that she was very shameless, but this was all business, and if she didn't look for smart and smart people, she wouldn't worry. Once the people were employed and new management personnel were trained, she would no longer have to beg him to find people.
"Business is business, and it shouldn't be too complicated. If you catch a few people who make money, you can get all the business." Qi Shiqi disagreed with her doing such a complicated business. Firstly, it was difficult to manage, and secondly,
Come and attract attention.
Tian Minyan stretched out her fair hand, pouted and clasped her fingers and said: "Are there many? Just a few? I've grabbed them all. The sauce and MSG factory can't put them in. These are commonly used in people's livelihood, and the weaving workshop must be guarded."
, the results will only come after the cotton comes out. The first floor is a restaurant, and I will open a branch. The glass workshop, um, also needs to be maintained."
After all these calculations, she really didn't do a lot of business. She just opened a jewelry shop. That's not even a big business.
Qi Shiqi saw her counting childishly and listened to everything. These were not impossible businesses, so he said: "These are not important. I'm just telling you, don't touch salt, tea, and iron.
It doesn't matter if you open a tea shop, I can supply it to you, but don't touch the big ones."
Tian Minyan frowned, she naturally knew that the imperial court was holding onto these things, so naturally she would not go out of her way to touch Ni Lin, she only wanted to be rich and noble.
"Hmph! You clearly have the design drawings in your hands, but you're saying that you're done, hiding it and pinching it." After the reminder, Qi Shiqi snorted again and said: "As soon as your shop comes out, Zhenbao Zhai will probably close down.
.”
In fact, Qi Shiqi didn't care about Zhenbaozhai's business. His profitable business was not disclosed at all. The jewelry store was also opened on a temporary basis. Moreover, even if he did not do business, the interest collected in his fiefdom was all gone.
Enough for him to spend a lifetime.
It's just that he can only be an idle prince who loves to make money, that's all he can do!
Tian Minyan suddenly showed a silly smile: "Your Majesty, you are too flattering to us. We are just making small fuss, how can we compare with a century-old restaurant like Zhenbaozhai? We are just drinking porridge and water in the back."
"Put away that smiling face of yours. You're smiling but not smiling. You're ugly." Qi Qiqi looked at her with disdain. Thinking of the two people she partnered with, he softened his tone and said, "That girl from Weiyuanhou's family is a
Okay, it's good for you to be friends with her, but I just want to remind you, don't be plotted by others."
Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows, shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, I'm just a little peasant girl, what else can I do for others to scheme against me?"
Qi Shiqi snorted and said, "You have been staying in the state capital for a long time. It's time to go back. I tell you, cotton is the most important thing."
Tian Minyan secretly stuck out her tongue, but he caught him, and quickly rolled her eyes. Seeing his disgusted look, she restrained herself, and said like a little daughter-in-law: "What about the person I want?"
Qi Shiqi glared at her and said, "Someone will send it over tomorrow."
"Daughter of the people, thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Minyan was immediately overjoyed. She was blessed with a happy body, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, open this jewelry shop, and I will serve Your Majesty's cotton wholeheartedly."
Now that all businesses have started and there are more people, she can completely free up her hands to concentrate on serving the cotton fields. Who let her take advantage of others?
Qi Shiqi kept her promise and sent her ten people the next day. Six of them were women, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Tian Minyan kept them by her side for training, while the other four men, with an average age of
They are both in their twenties, and I heard they all have some management experience.
With the manpower available, the jewelry shop opened quickly. Tian Minyan generously drew ten new jewelry designs, including bracelets, necklaces, and complicated steps. She also hired a beauty T-shaped stage to invite her.
Mrs. Zheng was waiting for a distinguished lady, and Hui'an even invited Princess Jiajun to show her dignity. Now, it was difficult for people to know about the jewelry shop called Fengxiang Jewelry.
Due to Tian Minyan's novel publicity method, Fengxiang Jewelry's jewelry was also fashionable and novel, and soon occupied a place in the state capital. In the future, when Fengxiang Jewelry became famous, all the girls in the boudoir would wear a piece of Fengxiang jewelry.
Being proud of jewelry, of course, is a story for another day.
While the jewelry store was being prepared, a glaze workshop in cooperation with the Lou family was also opened. Lou Shaoqing was in charge of all aspects, while Tian Minyan only acted as a promoter and provided ideas from behind.
After staying in the state capital for nearly a month, following the urging of Luo Shi and the others, Tian Minyan handed over the jewelry shop to Hui'an and Wen Wen to take care of her. She took a car full of boxing gifts and led Luo Shi and the others back to Yangmei Village to start a new business.
