PDLP Chapter 270 Mission
Chapter 270 Mission
Just as Mr. Fang was about to speak out his proposal, Fang Lairong, who was standing beside him, was delighted when he saw this and hurried forward to speak, saying it before Mr. Fang.
"Brother, regarding the content of the test, I have a suggestion. We can give Guohua a task to complete to prove whether he is capable of becoming the next head of the family."
"Don't we have a Xianglaiju in City B that has been losing money for years? We can hand Xianglaiju over to Guohua to manage. If he is able to turn the store around, it will prove that he is capable of taking on the family position and leading the family to glory."
As soon as Fang Lairong said this, many tribesmen nodded, thinking that this was a good suggestion.
As the owner of this shop, Mr. Fang certainly knew what was going on. This was a trap set by Fang Lairong for Guohua!!!
Old Master Fang's heart sank. He had not expected that his younger brother would target Guohua. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew why.
Old Master Fang had a calm expression and looked deeply at Fang Lairong. His weather-beaten eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises.
At this time, Fang Guohua stood up, took a deep breath, and answered, "I am willing to accept this challenge!"
Old Master Fang looked at Fang Guohua, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but more of it was worry.
He knew that this challenge was both a test and an opportunity for Guohua.
Seeing that Guohua accepted the challenge, Fang Lairong continued to put forward his demands.
"Guohua, this challenge should have a deadline, right? But you won't be staying in City B for long before you return to Shanghai, so let's set the deadline to your stay in City B!"
As soon as Fang Lairong made this proposal, many tribesmen started discussing again. They thought that this time was too short.
After all, that store had been making losses for so many years, how could it turn losses into profits in such a short time?
Isn't this embarrassing for Guohua? Someone wants Guohua to change the challenge.
Fang Feifei could see the reactions of everyone in the field from within the space.
She signaled to her brother Guohua to agree.
Guohua was still hesitant, but with the encouragement of his elder sister, he stood up and nodded to everyone, "Okay, I accept this deadline."
Seeing that Fang Guohua agreed, Mr. Fang was both happy and worried, but since Guohua had already agreed, he could only accept it.
As the head of the Fang family, he finally made a decision, "Since Guohua has agreed, let's test it according to this plan!"
Fang Lairong was very happy to see Fang Guohua accepted the challenge. He didn't think Fang Guohua could complete this test.
[Humph, wanting to be the head of the family is impossible! ]
After the banquet, everyone left.
In the hall of the second courtyard of the Fang family, Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Fang Feifei's siblings were all gathered here, listening to Mr. Fang talk about the current situation of this store.
The old man looked solemn, and everyone felt uneasy seeing him like this.
He spoke slowly, "This shop is called 'Xianglaiju'. It sells rouge and powder. It was founded by our Fang family's ancestor in the early years. The shop is located on a busy street in City B. At that time, the shop had a constant stream of customers. With the changes of the times, it gradually declined."
"Last year we invested a lot of money in an attempt to revive the company, but to no avail. When your second grandfather proposed this idea, I wanted to object."
The old man said, looking up at Fang Feifei and the others, "Now that things have come to this, we accept this challenge. Guohua, you just do your best, no matter whether the store can be revived or not."
When Wang Feifei saw the old man finish speaking, she said, "Grandpa, this second grandfather has ulterior motives!!"
After hearing what Fang Feifei said, the old man fell silent. Finally, he sighed slightly, "Feifei, I know what you said. I can see what your second grandfather is thinking. Guohua can pass the test, so his thoughts are nothing to be afraid of."
Old Master Fang still thought that Fang Lairong was just eyeing the position of the head of the family, and wanted to snatch the position of the head of the family from their direct line through legitimate means and take the position through legitimate means.
He didn't expect Fang Lairong's ambition to be...
Fang Feifei didn't say much when she saw the old man's condition. No matter how much she said now, it would be of no use without substantial evidence.
Fang Feifei brought her younger brothers and sisters and followed Butler Chen to Xianglaiju to check the situation.
You can see quite a few little puppets on the streets.
As soon as you step into Xianglai Ju, you can smell a faint scent of powder in the air.
At this time, there were no customers in Xianglaiju. The two waiters inside were listless. When they saw customers coming in, they immediately perked up and walked over quickly. "Are you guys looking to buy rouge and powder?"
When they saw Butler Chen standing behind them, they immediately became respectful, "Butler Chen, why are you here?"
Butler Chen nodded at them without saying anything else, and motioned for them to get busy.
Fang Feifei has been taking her brothers and sisters to look around the store carefully. Inside the store are antique counters, on which are placed various kinds of rouge and powder.
The rouge and powder on the counter were something Fang Feifei had never seen before, and were completely different from the cosmetics she had stored in the space.
After the butler and the two waiters finished talking, they walked over here. Seeing Miss Feifei's puzzled look, he began to explain.
"Miss Feifei, the rouge and powder from Xianglaiju are already excellent, but in this chaotic era, everyone is worried about their stomachs. Ordinary people are reluctant to spend money on them, and those who are willing to spend money buy foreign products. Foreign products are more colorful and have stronger fragrances, and are very popular among women, so..."
Fang Feifei nodded. She was very interested in these rouge and powder. She asked Butler Chen to pack a few of each. She planned to keep them in her space.
"Then hasn't our Xianglai Ju tried to purchase some foreign goods to sell?" Fang Feifei raised her question.
After hearing what Fang Feifei said, Butler Chen sighed and said, "Miss, we have also tried to sell foreign goods. The purchase price of foreign goods is high. If we sell them at the same price as foreign stores, our costs will be much higher, and our customer base is also limited. In the end, we didn't sell many foreign goods, and we lost those old customers."
After listening to Chen Guanxiang's explanation, Fang Feifei looked at the rouge and powder and had an idea in her mind.
