Chapter 2714 - 2714 Good Business
2714 Good Business
In the afternoon, activity at Couture House gradually returned to its usual pace.
“If you even dare to suggest that a village girl owns Couture House, I’ll shut you up for good.”
“Even the Kang Prince Consort themselves showed up at Couture House to offer their support. Don’t you dare call her a village girl.”
Under the guidance of the Kang Prince Consort, a stream of royal family ladies who aimed to establish positive connections with both the Kang Consort and the Crown Prince Consort came to show their support simultaneously.
Initially hesitant, the Kang Prince Consort’s doubts faded when they noticed that the shop’s inventory maintained its impeccable quality. They were genuinely pleased, even making an intentional effort to forge a connection, and ended up purchasing a substantial quantity of items.
This action effectively silenced those high-ranking noble ladies who had previously held themselves aloof.
Even if Couture House didn’t depend on the patronage of these noble families, having the backing of the Royal Family proved to be a significant advantage.
Given the various palace transactions undertaken by the Crown Prince Consort, the business would surely be profitable this year.
“Furthermore, engaging in business wasn’t a mere trifle for her. Even if a loss were to occur, the royal family wouldn’t leave her in the lurch.”
With this assurance, some of the well-born ladies who had considered boycotting Couture House began to reconsider.
Qiao Mu remained unfazed by the opinions of others. After seeing off Imperial Aunt, she proceeded with her routine property inspections.
Business might be currently sluggish, but so what? The Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince Consort’s finances were far from constrained!
Upon reaching the Butterfly Pavilion, she summoned Shopkeeper Hu and handed over 5 kilograms of sacred rice and 5 kilograms of vegetables. “Update the menu to include the new rank distribution,” she instructed.
“Today, we have a special offer. If you visit our Butterfly Pavilion before the day’s end, you can enjoy a complimentary taste of our offerings: a small bowl of sacred rice and a serving of spiritual food.”
“Moving forward, any food or rice provided by me will be priced at a special rate. However, please note that quantities are limited each day. A small bowl of rice will be available at a tentative cost of 30 thousand spirit currency, while a plate of spirit food will be priced at 50 thousand spirit currency.”
Upon recollecting the contents of the handwritten letter, the young crown prince consort paused in thought before continuing, “Should demand outgrow our supply in the future, we may opt for an auction system. The highest bidder will secure the purchase.”
/With her exceptional goods at her disposal, she hardly lacks potential buyers. Is her sacred rice just ordinary rice?/
/Her storehouse on Paradise Planet is almost bursting with spiritually-charged food and fruits. Why would she feel the need to publicize it elsewhere?/
/Humph!/
By the time her specially provided products truly gained prominence, there would be a line of people eager to acquire them.
/They can belittle her now. Hasn’t she always proven her doubters wrong?/
Though Shopkeeper Hu struggled to grasp the source of the young crown prince consort’s confidence, he nodded in agreement and committed her instructions to memory.
“Going forward, let’s establish a blacklist for our shop. Individuals on this list are prohibited from entering.”
“For any venture of mine, add them to the blacklist. This policy applies across all our establishments.”
Asserting firmly, the young crown prince consort added, “Our shop only serves those who display courtesy. Those market shrews can be excluded.”
Shopkeeper Hu stifled a smile. He mused that his crown prince consort, the young crown prince consort, was quite whimsical. Nonetheless, he promptly concurred and set the workers to compile the blacklist.
After imparting these instructions, Qiao Mu found a sense of satisfaction welling within her.
Who could claim she was inexperienced in business management?
/And even if she were, her all-knowing and all-powerful Master was there to guide her./
/These individuals were simply deluded if they believed they could thwart her with such a petty scheme./
As they departed the estate shop in the southern district, the sun was nearing the horizon.
In the midst of this moment, she noticed a horse rapidly approaching.
Palace Lady Jing flipped herself over and dismounted gracefully, promptly bowing in respect. “Crown Prince Consort, I implore you to return swiftly to Magnolia Court. His Highness the Crown Prince is in a furious state!”
