Chapter 1563: Chapter 1560 Management

“However, not all the merchants here deserve to die, so we can choose those willing to cooperate and grant them the rights to sell our products.”

“For instance, they can put up a subsidiary sign of our Yonghe Clothing Shop, and sell clothes made by our Yonghe Workshop. Moreover, if we have new products, they can sell them too. As the shop’s business gets better and expands, they could eventually open their own branches.” Zhang Hai, having opened shops for many years, has a business vision that is not narrow; rather, it is quite progressive.

“However, the main difficulty in opening branches lies in needing to rely on significant power. This way, they won’t be suppressed by local merchants and influential people in other regions.” Zhang Huan spoke cautiously.

Ye Muyu nodded, agreeing with what he said. In the historical context, those who could open branches mostly had overwhelming authority, and Ah Heng obviously had not reached that level yet.

Fortunately, she did not harbor such great ambitions now. From the start, her purpose in opening a ready-made clothing shop was to lower the price of cotton clothes. Besides, she didn’t have that much capital to open branches either.

“For now, let’s find people to cooperate with. We don’t need too many partners for the time being. This number is not enough to attract too many opponents.” Ye Muyu made up her mind and then discussed with Zhang Hai which partners to select, and how many to choose in each County City.

Zhang Hai, indeed a seasoned shopkeeper, quickly gave Ye Muyu suitable suggestions, recommending selecting two partners in each County City so that the partners would not be isolated. It would be best if one of the partners had significant backing power, which could also make other shops wary.

As for the cooperation targets, they still needed time to filter them out.

Just as they were about to wrap up their discussion, there was a knock on the door, saying that a few people from the merchant team had returned.

Ye Muyu moved her fingers slightly.

Zhang Hai stood up, opened the room door, and called in the six people, first informing them about the entrapment incident that occurred before noon, and warned, “Those who disguised as you to commit the act are people closely related to you. This time, the lady doesn’t blame you for speaking out of turn, but from now on, you must screen those around you carefully. Don’t consider everyone as your own people. If this happens again, I won’t trust you to handle things anymore.”

Their faces turned pale, and to keep their jobs, they quickly promised, “Lady, Shopkeeper, we won’t dare have a next time. In the future, we will do our work for the shop and won’t talk to outsiders anymore.”

“For the time being, don’t go to the villages to sell cotton clothes anymore. I’ll assign you to other tasks.”

Ye Muyu waited until Shopkeeper Zhang finished scolding before standing up.

She said to the group, “There was a lapse in this mission, and according to the rules, you should be punished. Do you accept this?”

From beginning to end, Ye Muyu had set a management standard; the shopkeeper was not superior to others, just more skilled in managerial work. Members of the merchant team were not inferior either. Even if it was the waiter in the shop, as long as they could provide evidence proving the shopkeeper violated the rules, Ye Muyu would equally deal with the shopkeeper.

Because there was no nepotism, relying solely on rules, her shops had always been orderly, with no one daring to play tricks or cause trouble. With rewards and penalties clearly defined, most people were unwilling to breach the rules. After all, Ye Muyu treated everyone well, and after working for enough years, she promised to allow any subordinate to redeem their freedom.
