Chapter 1719: Chapter 1716: Bailan Pavilion
Su Mei nodded, understanding Ye Muyu’s intention: “This servant girl understands.”
After Ye Muyu left, the shopkeeper of Bai Bao Ge also sent the news to the Gao family.
Elder Master Gao, who had just finished dining with friends at the restaurant, looked at the letter in his hand. Upon learning of the good news, he ordered to let Bai Bao Ge continue stringing Ye Muyu along and to propose an exorbitant price three days later, while hinting that they could forego the silver and only ask for a favor in return.
This was also Elder Master Gao’s ultimate goal. Regardless of how this matter affected the Chu family, whether the gift angered the Dowager Empress, causing trouble for the Chu family, or if the Chu family overcame this hurdle unscathed.
In either scenario, he would benefit, meaning the Gao family would benefit, rather than the people behind them.
Gao Ren squinted, having already formulated many ideas on how to utilize this incident.
Three days later.
Just after Gao Ren’s messenger explained the situation to Ye Muyu, Ye Muyu responded, expressing that the price was too expensive and hesitated, hoping they would lower it.
At the same time, Ye Muyu was meeting with Tang Dongfeng.
“Lady, our shop is ready. Are you deciding to spread the news now?” Tang Dongfeng asked.
Ye Muyu nodded: “Once the stock is sufficient, we can start. Didn’t you say the Gao family’s ready-made clothing shop is also preparing to launch new products?”
“Yes, it’s happening tomorrow.” Tang Dongfeng stroked his chin, “If we start selling tomorrow too, surely the Gao family’s clothing shop will suffer some losses. However, to completely put their business in jeopardy, these small actions are still a bit insufficient.”
“No rush, just snatch the business as it comes.” Ye Muyu wasn’t overly ambitious. The Gao family has held the position of a royal merchant for many years; competing for business isn’t the main point. The real goal is to force them into making principle-based errors, ensuring that even those supporting them can’t salvage the situation.
Tang Dongfeng heard this and smiled: “Indeed, at the very least, we can irritate them and simultaneously promote our shop’s business.”
The next morning.
Bai Bao Ge sent someone to inform Ye Muyu, inviting her to the shop for detailed discussions, but Ye Muyu declined, instead sending a message requesting the shopkeeper to visit her.
This haughty attitude left the shopkeeper of Bai Bao Ge somewhat stunned.
Yet they couldn’t really refuse Ye Muyu, so they reluctantly sent a message to Gao Ren, waiting for his response.
This news made Gao Ren somewhat suspicious of Ye Muyu’s deeper intentions, but with too little information, he couldn’t fathom her plans, so he instructed the shopkeeper to agree and see what Ye Muyu was up to.
Meanwhile.
In the capital, the high-priced Bailan Pavilion released its new spring collection, attracting many ladies and young misses to come and see.
At the same time.
Yonghe Ready-made Clothing Shop also released new garments, combining wool and silk into a new fabric that is light yet very warm, with high comfort.
Tang Dongfeng was already prepared to spread the news and had coordinated with neighboring shops to make the first and second floors into showrooms, with clothes displayed on racks as soon as customers entered.
Li Chun’er, who has always enjoyed shopping, knew a few days ago that Bailan Pavilion had released beautiful spring clothes and had prepared her silver early to head to Bailan Pavilion at dawn.
Her status wasn’t the highest, but most young misses were reluctant to offend her, and conversely, she had quite a number of friends.
