"... This is what should we do..."
Observing that although these exorbitant "coloured glass of the heavenly palace" sets are being sold one set after another, yet the money amassed is pathetic, the accounts increasingly do not tally. The young manager almost cried. Who doesn't know what the rich women are like?
The business association is half public and partially private, but to these wealthy ladies with affluent family support, they use it purely as their private asset. They are only required to offer some money or write an IOU slip. This is considered being respectful. If they aren't shown respect, they will demand it.
Once the item has reached the hands of these women who squander their money, the young manager doesn't even need to think to realise that it's impossible to exchange these IOU slips for money. The young manager was frustrated beyond measure, so he reported the matter to the chief storekeeper.
