Chapter 307: Ask for advice

Manager Zhong thumped in his heart and tried to ask, ” where’s the Ziming?”?”

Ye Jiayao said with a bland smile: ” Ziming is now working in the third lord’s mansion. There is still lacking manpower. Let’s talk about it later.”

Manager Zhong already understood the meaning of the second lady. It seemed that the second lady had a clear mind.Although Ziming was working at the third lord’s mansion, because Ziming was the madam favourite successor, Ziming’s contract was still in the government, unlike others, it was even handed over to the third lord. The second lady only asked Lin Shu to go to the silk shop to learn some skills, but did not mention letting Ziming go. Why?Was it not clear yet?This was giving her a warning!

Since the second lady didn’t want to be discovered, it meant giving some people a chance to see if they can understand the second lady’s intentions.

” If anyone asks, you will answer as I said.” Ye Jiayao said. She liked smart men, and was transparent at all, but she doesn’t like smart people.

At dinner time, You saw Zhou Xingjia’s expression as usual and there seemed to be no movement in the house. Jinxuan seemed to be in a good mood and still talked about the business situation of the dessert house with her today. Then she could not help being puzzled but wonder if Jinxuan really didn’t find any problems.

No, I would have to ask Manager Zhong to ask later.

So, after dinner, You called Manager Zhong, and after listening to Manager Zhong’s reply, You smiled happily and asked, ” Did Zhou Xingjia ask?”

” Asked, I returned as instructed by the second lady.”

You looked a bit pale again for a few minutes. She paused for a moment and said, ” All right, never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Let the second lady solve it by herself.”

Waved and told Manager Zhong to back off.

Servant Sun also looked extremely worried, ” Zhou Xing’s family are not so heartless. It’s called excreta has pasted its eyes?”

You sighed, ” You have been following me for many years and have always been reused. I don’t want to see anyone who has made a mistake and won a bad reputation, but the second lady has already reminded me that the means are gentle enough to be regarded as caring for the old man’s face, and who is not careful and strange?No one else makes a mistake, only she makes a mistake. ”

She added after a silence: ” I said she hasn’t moved since she took over. This is to test everyone!” Without saying a word, everyone’s every move can be seen. Anyone who can use it, can reuse it, or can’t use it. Those who “boil frogs in warm water” like this will be out of luck.”

” Yes! The second lady is not so simple and has a clear mind. ” Servant Sun felt the same way. If she worked under such a person and did it conscientiously, then there was no need to worry about anything. She was not serious and still wants to know that it is impossible.

You shook her head with a wry smile: ” She can hold back, but I don’t care what means she uses.”

She was also a person who can’t put up with something or someone that didn’t go her way. She won’t blame for her limited ability to do well, but she thought herself clever to deceive her master, regardless of who you were, she can’t put up with anyone.

At the moment, Ye Jiayao was invited to tea by Qiao Mingxiu.

Qiao Mingxiu was recently stimulated by Ye Jiayao’s Dessert House, and she also wanted to do something well. After Ye Jiayao ordered her embroidery workshop, her business had greatly improved, but it was not enough, so she specially invited Ye Jiayao to ask for advice on how to do business.

” Sister in law, what’s the matter with your membership?I’ve heard that members also divide into gold and silver cards. Can they be useful?”

Ye Jiayao knew what Qiao Mingxiu’s idea was, but her family should also give some advice, so she did not hide her ideas and patiently explained the benefits of membership to her.

” First of all, membership can stabilize the customer group and give people a mysterious and unreachable feeling. People have curiosity. The more mysterious they are, the more vain they want to explore. Women like to compare with others. She joins the membership, so I also want to join one. I can’t fall behind others, can I?”

Qiao Mingxiu nodding, that was the way it was.

Ye Jiayao continued: ” Added my dessert house is unique and easy to create high-quality goods. If others want to follow suit, they can only like blind imitation with ludicrous effection, it’s no longer impossible to do that. Gold and silver cards are also distributed among members, which is a symbol of identity, because there are still ranking points among the 100 members, which cannot be generalized. So how can those ordinary members be stimulated to consume?” Just designed a membership card upgrade system, and you can upgrade as much as you consume.”

Qiao Mingxiu very admired her, with her eyes shining with stars and slurping: ” the second sister in law, how do you get all these wonderful ideas? If you do this, the ladies will not be able to spend as much money as possible.”

Ye Jiayao laughed. In fact, these management concepts were not surprising in modern times. Rich people had superiority and they were not short of money. As long as they thought the value of the money was worth it, they didn’t care much about it. Many high-level clubs just catched the rich people’s psychology.

However, such a concept was still rare in ancient times, of course, it was not as thorough as Ye Jiayao’s interpretation.

” The money is collected, but the service should also catch up with ,and keep geting rid of the stale and bringing forth the fresh, or the guests will be disgusted with eating the same several things. In addition, a series of activities should be set up to make everyone enjoy eating and playing. In fact, the business is not just selling snacks for this purpose,” Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao Mingxiu pondered: ” Can my embroidery shop also use this method?”

Ye Jiayao thought a lot and said, ” It can be used, but it’s not the same.”

Qiao Mingxiu was curious: ” Tell me quickly, what’s the difference?”

Ye Jiayao sipped her tea and said gently, ” First of all, you are not the only embroidery shop in Jin Lin, many old embroidery shops are better than yours.It is difficult to monopolize them. You have to position yourself first. What kind of embroidery shop do you want to make, a high-end famous product shop or a stable customer?”

Qiao Mingxiu pondered over the matter carefully and said, ” It’s difficult to do high-end embroidery. Although I come from the No.1 embroidering Qiao’s in Jiangnan, but female embroiders of mine are not up to that level, and the embroidery tailoring skills in Jin Lin are much better than ours.”

Ye Jiayao nodded, and Qiao still knew herself very well.

” In fact, it is not difficult to do high – end embroidery. You can find a breakthrough from other aspects, such as styles and fabrics. If things are new and good, you will not worry about no business. You can create several high – end customization every quarter as gimmicks, each with only one item labeled as your embroidery workshop, stating that only one item is duplicated. This requires high embroidery and cutting skills, but I think sister – in – law do it personally should be fine.”

Qiao Mingxiu was enlightened: ” Do you mean to use this to attract guests?”

” Yes, your things have been recognized and the following things will be easy to do after your reputation is established. You can state that only gold card members can have high-end customized qualifications and ordinary members can enjoy a series of preferential treatments. The requests for gold card members must be high, not a few dollars, because real ladies and daughters are disdainful of those who have no status and only a few dollars. Ordinary members don’t pay so much attention,” Ye Jiayao analyzed.

Qiao Mingxiu became more and more sensible and feasible.

“The second sister-in-law, I used to be a little unconvinced about you. I think you can make a good dish. This time I have really taken care of you. In the future, you should teach me more,” Qiao Mingxiu said sincerely.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, “We are family, we needn’t stand on ceremony? I’m just saying in theory, how to do it, and you have to think about it yourself, sister-in-law.”

” I am greatly appreciated that you showing me the business way. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’m going to do. If I can’t even pay the rent of the store until the end of the year, everyone will make fun of me”

Qiao Mingxiu was not modest. She considered whether she would close the door or not if Ye Jiayao had not helped her last time.

After pointing out, Ye Jiayao thought about Xia Chunyu and left first. Today Chunyu didn’t come back for dinner, and Song Qi didn’t come back to report, saying where he was and when he would come back. In the past Chunyu was afraid of her worry, and if he didn’t come back, he would let Song Qi to send a message.

This made her worried.

Back to the room and waited for a long time. It was past 11o’clock,Xia Chunyu came back.

The night wind was clear and cold, and all his body was cold. Ye Jiayao asked Sweet Peach to soak up a cup of hot tea and let him drink some warm water.

” Why is it so late today?”

Xia Chunyu didn’t go to hold her immediately. He rode back, his face and hands were cold by the wind, afraid of making her cold, he held tea lamps to warm his hands. He walked over and said, ” I went to the west camp, and Song Qi was sent to handle affairs by me, but he still won’t come back tonight, because he was in such a hurry, he didn’t have time to send you a message and worry about it, did you worry about me?”

” Why do you go to the west camp?There is no jurisdiction for you. ” Ye Jiayao was not only worried, but also very upset.

Xia Chunyu said with a smile, ” It’s not a big deal either. It’s just that He Lianxuan has a letter and let me pass it on.”

What kind of letter was it that Chunyu should send it in such a hurry? It must be very important.

But Chunyu did not say that she would not ask questions. She only asked, ” When will He Lianxuan come back?”

Xia Chunyu shook his head with a complicated look: ” Without the emperor’s order, he will not come back.”

” Very strange, things over there are over, the emperor won’t come back, what do you mean?” Ye Jiayao was more nervous, he won the battle, the emperor should have called him back to Jin Lin for reward, why don’t you let him come back?

” The emperor’s meaning is unpredictable, … forget it, as long as the western camp is under the control of He Lianxuan, you can rest easy.” Xia Chunyu consoled, there were some things that can’t be told to Yaoyao that Yaoyao was too smart to think much, and she can’t help anything, so why should another person to worry.

After listening to what he said, Ye Jiayao couldn’t ask any more questions. She still believed Chunyu’s ability. Chunyu wouldn’t tell her if anything was wrong.
