Chapter 1562: Chapter 1559 Data

Renting another small room is barely enough to reduce costs.

Even so, calculating it this way, buying a cotton-padded jacket would still require seventy to eighty coins.

Due to these two limiting reasons, those truly poor people probably couldn’t afford a cotton-padded jacket at all.

This is still the situation in villages near the capital and County City.

Let alone the more distant Northern Region.

After reading, Ye Muyu felt even more heavy-hearted.

“Shopkeeper Zhang, I plan to select so people for collaboration,” Ye Muyu considered carefully.

“What do you an?” After listening, Shopkeeper Zhang also felt uneasy. His family lived in a village outside the capital. With his privilege, he had called his family to buy cotton-padded jackets, making this winter more tolerable, but now, there were still more impoverished people than his family suffering, which made him feel sowhat uncomfortable.

Thus, hearing Ye Muyu’s proposal, he was imdiately tempted.

“Our workshop’s current daily production can reach four to five hundred cotton-padded jackets. We can completely take the surplus to sell in other shops. The farther away, the naturally higher the price, but the overall price would be within a hundred coins. Exceeding this price would require building another workshop.”

“There are two important matters involved here. First, we need to purchase cotton. The more cotton-padded jackets we produce, the more cotton we need. If there are no raw materials, we can only wait until July or August next year, when cotton is ripe for mass purchase. During the half year in-between, the business will co to a halt.”

“Second, the selected collaboration partners must be examined for quality to avoid being stabbed in the back by them, especially as the distance increases, we may not be able to control their actions.”

“For instance, selling at our set price in front of everyone, but filling with inferior cotton inside, similar incidents would affect the shop’s reputation.”

“Besides this, during the daily transportation of cotton-padded jackets, we’ll need to use trade caravans. The journey has always been arduous. Now that our shop is being watched, it’s unavoidable that soone might intentionally sche halfway through. Overall, the difficulty involved is quite significant.”

“I’ve also considered sending trade caravans to sell cotton-padded jackets in the villages, as we did before, but with this situation now, it shows that there are indeed too many exploitable loopholes.”

Zhang Hai saw that Ye Muyu had considered all aspects and, following her thought process, said, “Madam, have you ever thought about sothing.”

“So ready-made clothing shops would likely be very eager to collaborate with us. The price of these cotton-padded jackets would obviously bring significant custor traffic to their shop, simultaneously boosting the shop’s business.”

“Therefore, as long as there are shopkeepers with foresight, they should be very willing to cooperate with us, especially with Lord Chu’s support behind us, actually not many dare to bully us openly.”

“This framing incident also occurred in secret. Lord Chu’s swift actions have made several shop owners beco wary. I previously sent soone to investigate, and many shopkeepers have noticeably toned down their hostility towards us. So are even inquiring about the result of this framing case.”

“In the end, we only sell these monotonous cotton-padded jackets without imdiately affecting the business of those big shops, so the impact is considered relatively small. And for smaller shops, to put it bluntly, their support behind them probably doesn’t compare to Lord Chu, so naturally, they dare not express their anger openly.”
