Jim Thorne's excitement vanished in an instant. He thought he had stumbled upon a huge business opportunity. Tang Xiaonan patted him on the head. "Jim, let's not get sidetracked. Selling fabric is enough. Don't bite off more than you can chew."
There was good money in fabric, and it was something everyone used. Even the poorest families had to buy it; after all, it wasn't like they could go out naked.
Tang Xiaonan recalled a TV series she had watched in her past life called *The Great Dye Mill*. It was a classic business drama where the protagonist went from being a beggar to the owner of a large dyeing factory, handling orders worth hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. It might have been an exaggeration, but it illustrated the immense potential of the fabric business.
