“That’s great,” Su Wen responded.

“Don’t worry. I heard that the Xu family has many relatives coming this time. Cao Jun will be able to make many new friends if he goes over, ” Su Wen assured, choosing not to divulge the true power and status of the Xu family among the aristocratic families in the capital. Besides, it wasn’t relevant to their current conversation.

She wasn’t particularly keen on mingling with those people, especially Zhou

Yan.

“Sister Cao, I’ll show you around my new workshop,” Su Wen said, taking Cao Meihua’s arm in a friendly manner.

“At least you have a conscience. I used to nag you about not thinking of me anymore after making money. I couldn’t even find you to buy a new bag. If it weren’t for your second sister sending bags to Deputy Director Wei, I wouldn’t have known!” Cao Meihua remarked.

“Of course, you can buy from me! I’ve been incredibly busy,” Su Wen replied gratefully. She appreciated Cao Meihua taking time out of her schedule to attend the banquet. Though they didn’t invite many people this time, they were all like-minded individuals with similar personalities.

“Let’s go,” Su Wen urged.

“Good,” Cao Meihua agreed.

Su Wen initially only intended to bring Cao Meihua to visit, but since Su Xue hadn’t been there before, she decided to bring everyone along. Besides, she hadn’t discussed it with Su Pingping yet, so she’d have to make arrangements upon reaching the workshop.

Upon arrival, they found Su Qing sorting out the warehouse. Thanks to her meticulous efforts, the warehouse was already neat and clean, with leather maintenance tips displayed on the wall. The cabinets were neatly organized, mostly empty, awaiting the latest batch of raw materials from He Changming.

While Su Wen and the others were occupied in the provincial capital, He

Changming was busy too. He aimed to consolidate all fur resources in Black Eagle Village, transitioning from a small workshop to a factory model. With a guaranteed market, clansmen could confidently breed animals for profit.

For instance, He Changming was focused on securing ample high-quality cowhide and finalizing contracts with suppliers, detailing the yearly quantity requirements and negotiating prices. This assurance of a stable market empowers clan members to confidently invest in breeding ventures, free from worries about selling their goods, ultimately driving profitability.

Previously, the challenge lay in the limited scalability due to the struggle in selling their products.

Su Wen’s initial interaction with He Changming occurred during his days selling fur in the county town. Despite Black Eagle Village’s wealth of resources and ancient expertise, the absence of viable market channels had stunted its growth.

Su Wen led Cao Meihua on a tour, and she nodded in approval. “Su Wen, you’re truly remarkable. I envy you,” Cao Meihua admitted. Though she had a good job and high status, she envied Su Wen’s entrepreneurial spirit and the excitement of starting her own business.

“You could open a shop and venture into business too! You don’t have to run it yourself; you can hire someone. It’s a market economy now, and there will be more opportunities in the future,” Su Wen suggested.

“I’ll consider it,” Cao Meihua replied, recalling her previous contemplation on the matter. “By the way, have you heard that the new Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading Market in our county has been bought by someone else? The community have been discussing it lately.”

“I’ve heard about it. I’ve even purchased a few storefront houses,” Su Wen disclosed.

“Is it profitable?” she asked..
