Chapter 468 - 217: High-Quality Fabric! Friendly Bargaining! (Thanks to the readers for their support)_2
Others were really putting in a lot of effort to help, and in the bitter winter, they rushed off immediately to find someone. After going around asking a lot of people, they finally inquired about a small town.
The small town surprisingly wasn’t particularly far from Xufu Town, approximately the same distance as from Xufu Town to Jiangzhou City. It would take about fifteen days by fast horse, and with the help of a Cultivator, it would take just two or three days.
"Thanks for your hard work, big brother!" Yuchi said earnestly.
He had ideas, but it wasn’t enough; he needed many experts to assist him. Currently, his biggest shortage was materials. Although it had only been a month since he left Xufu Town and the issues couldn’t be resolved so soon, being able to establish a cooperative relationship in advance was still great.
"No problem, if we can do this well, it will definitely be beneficial for the Commerce Association!" Wei Zhe said with a smile.
"Haha, big brother, do you know this has something to do with the Commerce Association?" Yuchi was surprised; he hadn’t detailed these things to his elder brother.
"Of course, if the Commerce Association had an Immortal Robe Pavilion, it would certainly be enviable and make the Commerce Association appear even stronger!" Wei Zhe said, guessing.
The result was that Wei Zhi laughed out loud, then with a surprised expression, he slowly said:
"Immortal Robe Pavilion isn’t under the Commerce Association; it’s above the Commerce Association. In the future, the Commerce Association will rely on the Immortal Robe Pavilion for support. Big brother, do you know your Celestial Craft Workshop? In the future, Immortal Robe Pavilion will become like the Celestial Craft Workshop. The Immortal Robe Pavilion won’t be confined to a small place like Xufu Town; it aims to make everyone in the world know its reputation!"
"I want all female disciples in the world to wear clothes made by me, Yuchi!"
"This is my grand vision, something I, Yuchi, will strive my whole life to achieve!"
Wei Zhe looked at his third brother in shock, as if he could see the Holy Light emanating from behind him!
Wow!
This young man!
Such a strong obsession!
Is this what this young man wants to do his whole life? So... great! It makes us juniors completely bow in admiration!
...
Amidst the snow-covered fields, the earth showed earthy hues, and a carriage traveled swiftly down the official road, carrying two people inside, one big and one small, both women.
These two women came from another small town, belonging to a family specialized in providing cloth.
"Are we really going to Xufu Town? They can’t afford our cloth," said the little maid helplessly.
The little maid had a very simple idea. They should be resting in the town and waiting for another month or two before starting to produce cloth again. But while they were comfortably at home, they were suddenly asked to leave the town and head to Xufu Town.
The little maid initially didn’t know what kind of town Xufu Town was, but after inquiring, she found out it was a town known for clothing, a peer in the industry. But upon understanding the other party’s clothing structure, she felt Xufu Town couldn’t possibly have any cooperative relationship with them.
Their cloth was very expensive, not to mention its low production volume, so for a town specializing in ordinary clothing, they saw little hope for cooperation.
"There’s no choice. Xufu Town has a Commerce Association called the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, which seems to be very powerful, having already made other clothing towns submit to it and even merge into Xufu Town. In the future, Xufu Town is sure to grow into something very large."
"So in this context, even if we know they can’t afford our clothes, we still have to give them face and go over. Otherwise, if we don’t go this time, what if they make things difficult for us later?"
"Although our cloth quality is excellent, with many large merchants as our patrons, we are still too small in scale. We can’t compare to such a Commerce Association President, so we have to show weakness when needed. Otherwise, why would we travel such a long way in the bitter winter and even have guards to protect us here?"
The woman sighed as she spoke.
It’s like a country bumpkin being very wealthy and capturing them, these pitiful young women. If they don’t comply with this country bumpkin, who knows what he might do to them? Although the term ’country bumpkin’ carries a clearly insulting connotation, it’s precisely how the two feel right now.
They truly looked down on Xufu Town, believing it just had a bigger market but fundamentally sold clothes to a completely different audience than their town - merely a group of nouveau riche. As for the so-called Commerce Association President, he must surely be an old chap decked out in a high hat and gold and silver embroidery, with a belly as if three hundred months pregnant, entirely an old fat head.
The key point being they had to travel such a long way in the winter! It’s simply frustrating.
"Hey, miss, you must protect yourself when the time comes. If the other party proposes some strange requests, you have to refuse, absolutely. Otherwise, the consequences might be more than you can bear alone!" The little maid was very concerned about her mistress.
