This Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Gu was having a very depressed life!

First, because Gu Huaixiu gave her a box of rice dumplings before the festival, Old Mrs. Gu asked her to throw it away without even looking at it. Who knows if someone's fingers are wrapped in the rice dumplings. Second, because Gu Huaixiu was suppressed by her family during the dragon boat race, and her grandson was frustrated, and Old Mrs. Gu was even ridiculed by Old Mrs. Xu.

To put it, Old Lady Gu would rather be ridiculed by Gu Huaixiu than look at Old Lady Xu's villain's successful face.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the newspaper published the news that the Dongsheng Textile Factory won the Dragon Boat Race. The maid of the Gu family tactfully hid the newspaper, but Mrs. Gu forgot about this and insisted on reading it. As a result, she was so angry that she was not in the mood to eat breakfast.

"Mom, this food is not to your taste?"

At the dinner table, seeing Mrs. Gu with a tense face and not moving her chopsticks, the eldest lady asked considerately. Since she had a falling out with Gu Shiqin, the eldest lady has become more filial to her mother-in-law, as if she wanted to use this method to let Gu Shiqin know her virtuousness and virtue as a wife.

Old Mrs. Gu was in a bad mood to pay attention to her daughter-in-law and asked her eldest son: "How is the business in the factory recently?"

The Gu family's textile factory has always been the leader in Jiangnan. Old Mrs. Gu has always been pampering and has not been as interested in textile factory business as she was when she was young. Anyway, both sons are very capable, so she doesn't interfere and the business is well done. As soon as Gu Huaixiu's Dongsheng Textile Factory was opened in the spring, Old Mrs. Gu paid special attention and learned that Gu Huaixiu had only a few customers who were brought to by Shencheng connections, which was not enough to strengthen the business and could not pose any threat to her family. Old Mrs. Gu felt relieved.

Now that he has lost face in the dragon boat race, Mrs. Gu urgently needs to listen to some negative news from Dongsheng Textile Factory to please herself.

As a result, as soon as Mrs. Gu opened her mouth, Gu Shiqin's appetite faded.

Indeed, the third brother's business was initially deserted, but all the business started in the beginning. Gu Shiqin did not relax his vigilance against the third brother because of this. He was also preparing to closely observe the development of the third brother's factory in the past two or three years to expect its future. But Gu Shiqin still miscalculated. In the past two months, as Wen Xia's advertisements became popular in major cities across the country, the first batch of fabrics sold by the third brother also caused a great sensation in major cities such as Guangzhou, Shencheng, Nanjing, and Wuhan. Clothing factories came and signed contracts with Dongsheng Textile Factory one after another.

One is rising and the other is getting worse. When the new textile factory business is getting better, the orders of other textile factories will naturally decrease. Their own factories have not been greatly affected. However, the departure of the two old customers still sounded the alarm in Gu Shiqin's heart, making him understand that the third brother is serious and really wants to retaliate against them through the textile factory.

"Impossible, in two months, where did he get his reputation?" After hearing his son's words, Old Mrs. Gu asked with her eyes wide open.

Gu Shiqin was silent.

The second master Gu Shichang explained for his brother: "Mom, he invited Wen Xia to shoot an advertisement. Nowadays, female students and young ladies like to pursue fashion. They like to wear whatever celebrities wear. Just as a film by Wen Xia became popular last year, he helped the third brother bring the business. Also, the rainbow series produced by the third factory has seven colors that are not available on the market. I checked it with my elder brother. The fabric is stronger than the tensile resistance of our family and it is not easy to fade. His price is the same as ours, and the goods are new and good..."

"Okay, the young master is the ambition to destroy his own might." Old Mrs. Gu interrupted the second son's praise for Gu Huaixiu with a cold face.

Gu Shichang shut up embarrassedly, but he felt uncomfortable. The girls on the street whispered Wen Xia and rainbow, and the third brother didn't know how to come up with the idea, so he just made the brand aside with a female star.

"How much does it cost to hire a female star? Let's invite one too." The sons were useless. Old Mrs. Gu helped out with an idea and snorted: "Isn't Wen Xia famous? Let's invite someone more famous than her."

The Gujia Textile Factory was run from the old dynasty, relying on the fame and reputation accumulated by generations. Since it has firmly been the No. 1 textile factory in Jiangnan, a new era has come. In addition to buying machines from abroad to improve the efficiency and quality of dyed fabrics, Gujia Textile Factory has never thought about asking celebrities to endorse it. Today, it was through Gu Huaixiu that it has experienced the great role of advertising for the first time.

"I've contacted it, but our family is already famous, and the effect of expanding the supply of goods through celebrities is definitely not as significant as Dongsheng." Gu Mingyan looked at his father and answered his grandmother, and said meaningfully: "The key is to look at the goods. Our family has not had a new color of fire in recent years, and it all depends on the old capital."

As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed.

Everyone here knows that Master Qin, the dye foreman of Gujia Textile Factory, is the nephew of Mrs. Gu's parents.

The eldest lady glared at her son. She knew that Old Lady Gu liked the nephew, why did her son choose what the old lady didn't like to hear?

Gu Mingyan disdained that he wanted to take the blame of his grandmother today. His father was dissatisfied with Master Qin, and he kept turning a blind eye because of his grandmother. In the past, the Gu family was dominant, and his father's tolerance was not harmful to the overall situation, but now the third uncle is coming out and is coming in full force. If his family is not enterprising, he will die sooner or later at the hands of his third uncle.

Gu Mingyan did not allow him to lose to his third uncle again and again.

Master Qin was promoted by Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu was not stupid. He heard his grandson’s doubts about Master Qin’s ability. Although Mrs. Gu did not like to listen, she did not immediately protect Master Qin. Instead, she cleverly changed the topic and took this matter around for the time being.

After dinner, Mrs. Gu asked her to prepare a car, and she wanted to go to the textile factory to check it out.

Master Qin hasn't had a good sleep for a month. He drove away Master Qiao back then. Now Master Qiao has joined Gu Huaixiu and made a comeback. He showed seven hot-selling fabric colors in one breath, which is like hitting him in the face for seven consecutive punches. What's worse is that no one can lose to Gu Huaixiu, otherwise he will lose in the end, and Mrs. Gu will still ask him for guilt?

Master Qin was worried. He had a big blister on his lips, and drinking honeysuckle tea was useless. He got up again the next day after today.

"Auntie, what wind blows you?" Hearing that Old Mrs. Gu was coming, Master Qin hurried to the factory gate to greet him.

"You know what you know." Old Mrs. Gu gave him a slight look.

Master Qin did not dare to answer the conversation, so he helped Mrs. Gu hold an umbrella in a pleasing manner. After the Dragon Boat Festival, Hangzhou City became hotter and hotter day by day.

"Have you seen the rainbow over there?" Old Mrs. Gu asked as she walked.

Master Qin hung his head and said, "I have seen it, I tried to adjust the color, but I can't adjust it. I heard that there is a foreign master in Dongsheng Factory. I guess he was used to tune it out, using advanced Western craftsmanship."

Mrs. Gu was not that easy to fool, and snorted: "What Western craftsmanship? You are not as capable as others. As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. I think you have been lazy and unprofitable for many years. Master Qiao has been lying on firewood and tasting gall for ten years, and of course he is worse than you."

"What my aunt taught me is that I will change, I will definitely change." Master Qin promised in great sincerity.

While talking, the two had already entered Master Qin's office.

Old Mrs. Gu looked around and saw seven small pieces of cloth on the table, red cloth like fire, and blue cloth like the sky washed by rain, with a very pure color. Old Mrs. Gu walked over, picked up a piece of cloth and tried to pull it. It couldn't be broken, and the material was not loose.

"The same price as we sell?" Old Mrs. Gu's face darkened. In the face of business, friendship has to be pushed back. At the same price, anyone will buy better goods. Gu Huaixiu could sell at a higher price, but deliberately lowered the price, which was clearly for her own home.

Master Qin nodded helplessly: "I sent someone to inquire: Our machine was bought from Japan and his machine was shipped from the United States. The young master contacted an American company. The foreign devil said that they signed a contract with San... and would not do business with other domestic manufacturers within three years. The machine was only sold to Dongsheng."

After all, Mrs. Gu has some knowledge and knows that Gu Huaixiu's move is called monopoly.

"It's not okay to pay a high price?" Old Mrs. Gu asked with a frown.

Master Qin shook his head, the stinky foreigners were tough and refused to sell for twice the price, so they would negotiate the contract regulations.

"Then find a way to get the recipe." Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth.

Master Qin's heart skipped a beat. I thought of a way, what should I do? It must not work on the surface, but secretly...

For the Gu family and for himself, Master Qin decided to use a chess piece he inserted into when the Dongsheng Textile Factory first recruited.

Lu Duo came back from the textile factory and headed straight to the second floor.

Gu Huaixue is in the studio and has been studying a technical problem in engine improvement this week.

"Uncle, have a tea break and relax." Lu Duo poured a bowl of tea for his uncle.

Gu Huaixiu glanced at him, continued to work for a few minutes before washing his hands, and took his nephew to the study. The gasoline smell in the studio was too strong.

After sitting down, Lu Duo said excitedly: "Uncle, the fish over there are hooks. How about it? Let's give him a fake recipe?"

As early as when he found out that the spy had entered the factory, Lu Duo was thinking about the reason why his uncle stopped moving. After thinking about it, Lu Duo still felt that his uncle wanted to use the trick and asked him to steal a fake formula. At that time, the Gu family sold inferior goods, which not only affected their reputation but also lost a lot of money in vain.

Gu Huaixiu put down the tea bowl, stared at his nephew and asked, "If you were Gu Shiqin, you got a recipe and put it into production in large quantities, would you verify the authenticity of the recipe?"

Lu Duo choked. Before every dye in the factory was officially used, it would go through several inspection procedures to ensure product quality and produce it without verification. According to his understanding of Gu Shiqin, he was not that stupid.

"Why did my uncle keep his spies from his opponent?" Lu Duo scratched his head, and he could no longer see through his uncle's thoughts.

Gu Huaixiu got up, walked to the window, and said to his nephew with his back: "Give him the real recipe."

All the tea that Lu Duo had just swallowed was sprayed out, and he looked at his uncle in disbelief.

Gu Huaixiu had his own tricks and sent his nephew to pick up Master Qiao. If the spy wants to steal the real formula smoothly, Master Qiao needs to cooperate.
