Chapter 370 Crisis Relief
Through their efforts, the economic crisis was alleviated, and the Marquis's mansion gradually emerged from its predicament.
After enduring the heavy blow of natural disasters and the arduous process of industrial transformation, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu's unremitting efforts finally began to bear fruit. The economic crisis of the Marquis's mansion gradually eased, and a glimmer of hope for getting out of the predicament appeared.
As new textile products, tea, and ceramics gradually gained a reputation in the market, orders poured in, and the Hou family's businesses began to recover.
"We finally see hope! Our efforts have not been in vain!" The craftsmen and workers of the Marquis's mansion beamed with long-lost smiles.
The return of funds enabled the Marquis's family to repay part of their debts, alleviating their heavy financial pressure.
"Now the creditors won't be coming to our door every day to collect debts." The accountant breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the easing of the crisis does not mean that the Marquis's mansion can rest easy.
Despite the increase in orders, production capacity has become a new bottleneck.
"Even working overtime, we can't produce this many goods!" The workshop manager was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.
In order to improve production efficiency, Xiao Ling decided to introduce more advanced equipment and technology, but this would require a large investment.
"Where will this money come from? Things were just starting to look up, and now we're facing another funding problem."
Moreover, with the recovery of the Marquis's property, competitors have intensified their suppression efforts.
They maliciously lowered prices in an attempt to seize the Houfu's market share.
"They're trying to crush our newly recovered momentum!"
Meanwhile, some criminals, seeing the improved economy of the Marquis's mansion, came up with wicked ideas and attempted to steal the mansion's trade secrets and property.
"We must strengthen our defenses and not let these villains succeed!"
Just as the Marquis's mansion was struggling to cope with these new problems, some powerful figures in the court became jealous and wary of the mansion's resurgence.
"The Marquis's mansion cannot grow too powerful, otherwise it will threaten the balance of the court."
They began to restrict the Marquis's residence through policies, increasing various taxes and fees.
"This imperial court can't stand to see the Marquis's family doing well!"
Faced with this series of challenges, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu knew they could not afford to relax in the slightest.
On the one hand, they negotiated cooperation with major banks and wealthy merchants to seek financial support.
"The future of the Marquis's mansion is bright, and I believe you will not miss this good investment opportunity."
On the other hand, we should strengthen internal management and improve product quality and service levels to cope with competitors' price wars.
"We will win customers with quality and reputation!"
At the same time, Xiao Ling actively befriended upright officials in the court, attempting to leverage their influence to secure a favorable policy environment for the Marquis's mansion.
"I hope Your Excellency will put in a good word for the Marquis's mansion in court."
After a series of arduous efforts, the Marquis's mansion finally overcame numerous obstacles.
The successful introduction of new equipment and technology has significantly improved production efficiency.
"Now our production capacity can keep up with the orders!"
Through high-quality products and services, Houfu successfully maintained its market share and attracted more customers.
"Things from the Marquis's residence are still the most reliable!"
Some officials in the imperial court spoke up for the Marquis's family, which led to a relaxation of the court's policies towards the Marquis's family.
"The Marquis's family is wholeheartedly dedicated to the well-being of the court and the people, and should be supported."
But just when the Marquis's mansion was doing very well, a mysterious letter plunged Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu into deep worry.
The letter mentioned that outside the Marquis's residence, a powerful force was secretly watching, preparing to launch a fatal attack.
"Who could this be? Is the Marquis's mansion about to face a new crisis?"
