Lady Xiao slowly stood up and gracefully walked forward. She bowed to the crowd and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuruo thanks President Yu for your kindness and thanks all my colleagues for their concern. All of you here are my seniors and colleagues, and all of you have supported the development of my Xiao Family. Yu Ruo is here to express her deep gratitude to all of you for your support. "
She bowed deeply as she spoke. Grand Mistress was as beautiful as a flower. Her manner was amiable and natural. Her talent and demeanor were superior to others. It was easy for her to win the favor of everyone.
"This perfume and soap are two of my Xiao Family's newest businesses. I believe everyone has heard of them. Perfume originates from the fragrance of flowers and is brewed using a secret method. The cost is extremely high and it is not easy to obtain. However, its fragrance is long-lasting, simple and elegant. It can be maintained for a long time and is much more convenient than the cosmetics used by ordinary women. The fragrance is also more lasting, so it is deeply loved by all the ladies. " Grand Mistress leisurely explained the perfume. Although everyone here was a merchant, they were also potential buyers. Naturally, the Grand Mistress would not miss such an opportunity to advertise.
"As for the soap, it carries the fragrance of perfume. It is fresh and natural, comfortable and pleasant. Many ladies and madams have already tried it and I believe they will have a deep understanding of it. These two items were meticulously made by my Xiao Family in order to benefit the millions of families in Wuhua. I also hope that everyone will continue to support the Xiao Family. Xiao Yuruo is eternally grateful. "
Grand Mistress briefly introduced the perfume and soap. A female merchant in the Zhejiang merchant group stood up and said, "Lady Xiao, I have heard of this perfume and soap. I have also had the honor of using it. It feels very comfortable. However, seeing that there is no stock in Hangzhou, us sisters are anxious. "
As soon as she finished speaking, it attracted the approval of the surrounding female merchants. They were merchants, and they were all interested in new things. Among them, many of them had spent a lot of money to buy some perfume and soap to try. They felt that it was really different from those tacky rouge and face powders before. That was why they were so eager to ask for goods from Eldest Miss.
Grand Mistress smiled and said, "Sisters, don't be anxious. The perfume and soap will be supplied soon. If you need it, you can directly register with our branch. When the goods arrive, we will definitely send it to your hands."
Tao Wanying took out a transparent glass bottle from her bosom. There was some light pink liquid inside. She proudly announced to the surrounding female merchants, "This is the rose perfume. sister Xiao Yuruo personally gave it to me."
For a moment, the surrounding female merchants cried out in surprise. They all held it in their hands and loved it. A few of them wanted to buy it from Wanying, but Wanying hurriedly snatched it away.
Lin Wanrong secretly laughed. This was the perfume that Grand Mistress gave to Tao Wanying when she came to the Academy to promote. He did not expect that this girl would show it off here today. It was such a waste that the perfume fell into her hands.
Tao Dong Cheng, on the other hand, was furious in his heart. He pulled Tao Wanying back, and gave that fatty President Yu a meaningful look. President Yu casually waved his hand. Another merchant stood out from the crowd and said, "Grand Mistress, your perfume and soap are good, but your Xiao Family is a little too unkind."
Lin Wanrong saw the gesture of the fat man and sneered in his heart. As expected, this old man did not have any good ideas.
Grand Mistress frowned slightly and said, "Head Li, what do you mean?"
From Head Li's tone, he seemed to be an acquaintance. Head Li snorted and said, "Grand Mistress, one must behave with restraint. Do not be too forceful. Your Xiao Family originally ran a cloth shop and silk, but now you are doing the rouge and soap business. You have already crossed a few lines. Don't you think you have stretched your hands too far? "
Lin Wanrong said to Liu Yuee, who was beside him, "Sister Liu, what does this Head Li do?"
Liu Yuee said, "This guy is a famous miser in Hangzhou. He has gone through a lot of cosmetics and rouge."
Oh, Lin Wanrong responded, understanding in his heart. Damn, this guy must be jealous. Once the perfume and soap came out, who would still use rouge and soap? You want to use industry rules to restrict the Xiao Family? Damn, do you think you are the Ministry of Revenue? You still want to set up an industry entry system?
Lady Xiao said seriously, "Head Li, my Xiao Family has been in business for generations. We have never fallen behind in the cloth shop, but can we not do other businesses? What kind of rules are these? My Xiao Family has been a business for the last two generations. It is natural for us to do this rouge and soap business. "
Head Li snorted and said, "You are breaking the rules by crossing industries like this. If everyone is like your Xiao Family, doing this today and that tomorrow, then what rules are there to speak of in this industry and the Chamber of Commerce? "
Seeing that this person was finding fault, the Grand Mistress snorted coldly and said, "The world's business is done by people. Why is it that Head Li can do it, but my Xiao Family can't? Head Li's ancestors were blacksmiths. Now that you are doing this rouge and soap business, isn't that breaking the rules as well? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled. Grand Mistress's eloquence was not bad. He had never seen her display it before, so he had underestimated her.
That Boss Li was seething with anger. He said, "You are twisting words and forcing logic."
Lady Xiao snorted and said, "Head Li, although you dislike my Xiao Family for entering the rouge and soap business, my Xiao Family does not dislike you for entering the cloth shop and satin business. I wonder if Head Li is interested?"
Liu Yuee gave a thumbs up and said, "This sister of mine, there is nothing to say. Women are better than men."
Another rouge and soap boss also stood up and said, "Lady Xiao, if your Xiao Family wants to do this rouge and soap business, no one can stop you. However, you can't disregard the rules like this and make us, who are in the rouge and soap business, lose our livelihood."
The Grand Mistress shook her head and said, "Shopkeepers, we are all businessmen. This word 'business' is not something that I can do alone. We need everyone to do it together, compete with each other, and restrict each other. Only then can we grow."
Head Li snorted and said, "Compete with each other? Lady Xiao, the moment your perfume and soap came out, our Hangzhou rouge business fell by 70%. Where is this competition coming from? I'm afraid your Xiao Family is the only one who can do it. Where do you place our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and where do you place us merchants? "The few people behind him started to clamor. For a moment, there was a lot of anger in the crowd.
However, Liu Yuee couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and said, "Can you people be reasonable? What does Lady Xiao's livelihood have to do with you? You don't have the ability, but you blame others. This is really strange. "
Although there were many people in the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, only Liu Yuee stood up to speak up for the Xiao Family. The others were all looking at Tao Dongcheng with their eyes.
Lin Wanrong smiled at the Grand Mistress and gave her a thumbs up. The Grand Mistress blushed and looked at him reproachfully.
"Head Li, if there is competition, there will be conflict. This is the natural order, the righteous path. As the saying goes, poverty leads to thinking, and thinking leads to change. My Xiao Family has been in the cloth business for many years. Later, many families got involved, causing my Xiao Family to struggle and find it difficult to continue. Only then did we start a new business. If I blamed others and heaven like you, then I would be cursing every day, "the Grand Mistress said coldly.
The merchants in the rouge business looked at each other but didn't know how to answer. They hurriedly looked at President Yu.
Tao Dongcheng gave President Yu a look. President Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Don't get angry, the two of you. This matter can still be discussed. I think both of you have a point. How about this old man think of a compromise? "
Head Li hurriedly smiled and said, "President, please speak."
President Yu said to the Grand Mistress, "Lady Xiao, it's not easy for these people in the rouge business. How about this, your Xiao Family's perfume and soap management rights in Zhejiang Province will be transferred to Manager Li and the others. This way, both sides can work together and make some profits."
F * ck, the fox's tail has finally been exposed. That management rights will be a huge profit. Lin Wanrong sneered. I planted trees and bore fruit, but you want to pick up the ready-made ones. You want to push the Xiao Family out of Hangzhou. You really know how to f * cking dream.
The Grand Mistress's expression changed. She said, "President Yu, my Xiao Family has many shops in Zhejiang Province. We have our own way of running the business. We don't need anyone's help for the time being."
President Yu smiled sinisterly and said, "Lady Xiao, in this case, this old man is also in a difficult position. My colleagues in Zhejiang Province also need to eat. Prince Tao, what do you say? "
Tao Dongcheng stood up and looked at Xiao Yuruo with a 'difficult' look. He said, "Sister, our Chambers of Commerce in Zhejiang and Jiangsu are one family. If we take a step back, everything will be fine."
Doggie, these two are in cahoots. The Grand Mistress recalled the grievances the Xiao Family had suffered all these years. Tears welled up in her eyes. However, she had a strong personality and forcefully held back her tears. She smiled sadly and said, "My Xiao Family has launched perfume and soap. Everyone sees success. But who has thought that if these businesses fail, the hundreds of people in my Xiao Family will be consigned to eternal damnation? All these years, my Xiao Family's cloth shop has fallen into a difficult situation. However, I have never thought of using other means to suppress my peers. My Xiao Family has relied on our own hard work to earn money. Why do we have to suffer such censure today? Although my Xiao Family is made up of women, we have a clear conscience. I, Xiao Yuruo, am not as easy to bully as you think. "
President Yu and Tao Dongcheng sneered without saying a word. It was as if victory was already in their hands.
Damn it, I am talking to you nicely. You bastards really think you are someone important? Looking at Yu and Tao Dongcheng's sinister smile, Lin Wanrong quietly carried a thick stool and walked over. He stood beside the Grand Mistress and looked at her with a gentle smile. He said, "Don't cry, don't cry. You won't look good if you cry."
"Lin San — —" The Grand Mistress acted as if she had found a relative. She grabbed his arm and the tears that she had endured for a long time flowed down.
