Chapter 547 Turn Him Into A Money-making ve (Part One)
Matthew didn''t have any misgivings about Harper entering the clothes business. It was no longer like
the beginning of their marriage. At that time, he would have had his doubts. How could such a young
lady from a powerful family who barely went outside know how to do business in different fields?
However, he had learned to respect her capabilities after being married to her for so long. Moreover, he
was mystified by her way of thinking. The more he knew her, the more she intrigued him.
"What kind of garments do you want to make?"
"Matthew, do you have outstanding female embroidery workers?" Harper asked. The couple had visited
all the garment shops in the city, and had seen the wide scope and abundance of garment makers
there, but not many of them were outstanding.
"Yes. How many do you need?" Matthew asked decisively.
Harper stretched out three fingers and said, "I need thirty. All of them must have exquisite embroidering
skills."
Matthew nodded, looking at her lovingly. "Don''t worry. I will find only the best ones for you."
"Why don''t you ask me what I have in mind? Aren''t you afraid that I will do something foolish or bad?"
Harper asked with a smile.
"Will you? Do you need a knife? I will prepare one for you," Matthew said after a moment''s
consideration.
With a smile, Harper punched her husband. "I want to create a brand in River City."
"Who is ''Brand''? Is it a boy or a girl?" Matthew asked innocently.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Harper''s mouth twitched in a mixture of amusement and irritation, and for a moment she didn''t know
how to answer, but then she calmed down. "I mean, when people see any garment thates from my
shop, they will recognize it straightaway. This is the brand."
"I see. It''s a form of fame." Then he made a deduction. "We can use the rich and powerful people in
River City... Hmm, Pearce and his wife are our best choices, I think. We can invite them to your shop to
buy some clothes. Your brand will spread twice as far with half the effort if they wear the clothes with
your brand."
"That''s what I am thinking too. So, now, let''s try our best to keep them happy. If we need any help, we''ll
just ask them," Harper said frankly.
"Smart girl!" Matthew praised as he stopped in front of a tea house. "How about using this building as
your shop?"
Harper looked the building up and down several times. It was a three-floor house, which met her
requirements for a clothing shop perfectly. She walked into the building with her husband in order to
have a look at the interior.
This tea house was quite busy with customers. The waiter walked over to them as soon as he saw
them enter. "Wee! There are private rooms upstairs, please."
"Yes." Harper nodded her head and was pleased to see how the hall was decorated. She walked
upstairs to the second floor, following the waiter. The arrangement of the second floor was also nice,
but if she wanted to make a clothing shop there, she would need to make some adjustments.
"Waiter, what is on the third floor?" she asked the waiter.
"The storeroom is on the third floor, and our shopkeeper lives there," the waiter said with a smile. "Sir,
ma''am, what would you like to drink?"
"A pot of green tea, two tes of your best desserts."
"All right. Hang on, please."
"Honey, it won''t be easy to buy this ce, since they are doing such good business," Harper
commented cautiously.
Matthew stared at her and smiled. "If they don''t sell it, we can just snatch it. Or, we can kill them all and
loot it."
Harper''s face darkened immediately, but she would have been a fool if she couldn''t see that he was
joking. "Is this tea house yours?" she asked.
Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, but if you like it, it''s yours now."
"Well, thank you very much. When will the embroidery workers be ready?" A pleasant smile spread
across Harper''s face. She had faith in his speed.
"Within three days, I will have the embroidery workers arranged for you. Although outstanding
embroidery workers are easy to find, their embroidery styles are almost the same without any
specialties. How do you make the clothes of your shop distinguish from other shops''?" Matthew asked
curiously. He had once gone to the gambling house improved by her, and found that it had drawn many
new customers in an instant and defeated all itspetitors within a few neighboring blocks. When
Felix became aware of it, he almost wanted to take back the title deed. This time she wanted to open a
clothing shop, and Matthew looked forward to her good performance.
"We won''t leave here until the New Year, at any rate. I have enough time to think about it." Harper
smiled mysteriously. "By the way, all the embroidery workers you find must be morally upstanding."
"Don''t worry. I will find all the workers for you and give their indentures to you. If you find problems with
any of them, you can beat or kill her."
"Cruel beast." Harper rolled her eyes. "But I like that."
"Well, you always need some method of intimidating your subordinates, after all. But I''m curious. What
exactly are your intentions, Harp?" asked Matthew.
"There are many gifted schrs and beautifuldies in River City. It''s natural to make good use of
them. We need to persuade Marquis Pearce and his wife to help us and let everyone else think it is
their business. Since we are doing business outside the imperial capital, we must keep a low profile as
much as we can. His Majesty is always waiting for me to make a mistake." Harper was excited by her
n.
"Are you afraid?"
"I''m not afraid of him, but I don''t want to get in trouble." As she spoke, Harper poured a cup of tea for
her husband. "Honey, please support me in the following days."
"No problem. By the way, when you''re free, you should train Rufus more. Turn him into a money-
making ve for us."
