If I ever get the chance, I’d love to learn from you about pairing clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng chattered, and the brown-haired foreigner started a conversation with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired foreigner was named James, and his family was in the clothing business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James didn’t employ any tricks; since he was already there, it was naturally for business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was interested in the fabric displayed on stage and wished to further negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng acted as the translator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Hai didn’t expect the first deal to come so quickly; he sat across the table from James, who was speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After James finished, Jiang Cheng turned to Factory Director Hai and said, \"Director Hai, Mr. James wants to purchase these six types of fabric, and his offered price is 0.9.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zero point nine was already above Director Hai’s mental estimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he showed a troubled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because when Jiang Cheng handed him the paper to look at, her hand showed two fingers, indicating the price could still be negotiated and not to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Cheng handed the paper with one finger, it meant the price was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the signal they agreed upon yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing what Director Hai said, Jiang Cheng turned to negotiate with James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. James, as far as I know, the few pieces of fabric you like belong exclusively to a style, the Bohemian style, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James seemed slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You even know about Bohemian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling slightly embarrassed, Jiang Cheng lowered her head, \"This is probably the only style I know; I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I happen to have friends abroad who send me some magazines, so I accidentally learned that this style is popular in Europe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Popularity means there is a market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. James, you are an expert in this field, so you can feel our fabric, made of 100% pure cotton with top quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s statement was very sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the best products were supplied abroad to earn foreign exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality was genuinely top-notch, but prices in past years were low simply because the patterns were not popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James indeed felt the fabric, understanding that the other party wanted to raise the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. James, our price is 1.3.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James subconsciously frowned; this price... he still made a profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But which businessman doesn’t want to maximize profits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to think about this price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you can take a walk first, and if there are no products that suit your taste elsewhere, you’re always welcome to return; we’ll be right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng didn’t relent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, James actually got up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Hai watched from start to finish, did he just leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, this fabric is unique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patterns on the fabric from Sea City weren’t available from other manufacturers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James’s current situation is like many people who go shopping; they like the first store they visit, but still want to see if there’s anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will go searching with an answer in mind and eventually come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s calmness didn’t really reassure Factory Director Hai, but he felt that already being on the \"pirate ship,\" he had to trust the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the captain of the pirate ship walked towards another foreign buyer examining the fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The counterpart was from the U.S.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking around, he didn’t find the desired fabric and was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merry Christmas in advance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one sentence stopped him in his tracks, meeting Jiang Cheng’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not Christmas yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng nodded with a little embarrassment, \"I know, it’s still fourteen days until Christmas Eve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be hard being abroad during such an important holiday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand the feeling of homesickness so well, especially before such a significant holiday, let me see.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our textile factory is giving you a small gift to wish you an early Merry Christmas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng turned around and picked up a small basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basket was wrapped in red and green cloth strips with a large red bow, and beneath the bow was a ball made by winding green cloth strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown took an immediate liking to the small basket at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had such a festive atmosphere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christmas, classic with red paired with green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, I really like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The colors are beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Brown praised it, Jiang Cheng seized the opportunity, \"Indeed, I also think that red and green together really look nice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, this basket was made out of our own fabric; would you like to take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown indeed showed interest, asking, \"Where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng gestured invitingly and led Brown to the red and green fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was shiny, matte, and plain cotton fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, there were various materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at them, Brown regretfully said, \"It’s a pity we can’t make it for this Christmas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would it be a pity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng said, puzzled, \"Mr. Brown, even if you place an order now, the factory would need a few months to complete it, plus shipping, and then processing it upon your return, I think it would be just in time for next Christmas, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were a light bulb, it would surely be shining brightly over Brown’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! The timing is just right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown looked at Jiang Cheng excitedly, grabbing a piece of red fabric, \"How do I make a purchase?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1209,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.788Z",1,"novelbin.me","eba2f5fb36ec57c52798f94313abbc4a68f00626ed8ed5f9812d42892190ba13","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-237","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-235",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
