Chapter 313: Inspiration
"Recently, a new jade shop has opened in Nancheng, called Yuzhou Store, and their jade is not only of good quality, but also very cheap, and I am worried that this will pose a threat to your jade shop. He said seriously, this shop was not enough to worry them, but the price of its jade was too much cheaper than Boss Si's jade shop, and it had already started to compete with them.
Zhou Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the business of the jade shop had plummeted in the past few days, and he had guessed that it might be because of the bad weather, but when he heard him say this today, it is estimated that the truth is never so simple. The people who open the shop are all operated for profit, and its jade is very cheap, jade is originally a valuable item, but they sell it so low, their customers are not attracted to the past, and they see the hell, but there is no benefit, why should the jade Zhoupu do it? Is it just to crush us?
He was puzzled, he only couldn't get out of the store, what kind of good background did he have to support it? Originally, he had other thoughts in his heart, but now Zhou Fei has calmed down a lot, what Zhou Mu Sijue said is not an exaggeration at all, if the jade shop in Nancheng continues to operate according to this situation, their jade shop in Shanghai will definitely go out of business.
Zhou Mu Sijue hugged him tightly and comforted him in a low voice: "They have no profit to enter, it won't be long, as long as you persevere, I think you can successfully get through this difficulty." ”
"I'm not very clear about what happened over there, and it's really hard to say...... By the way, the boss of the division asked me to be responsible for the jade jewelry design draft for this quarter......"
"When did you say that?" Zhou Mu Sijue frowned tightly, when did Si Yueshang start to attach so much importance to Zhou Fei?
"Today. Zhou Fei leaned on his chest, looked up at his chin with a smile.
"Do you have an idea for your design?"
Not yet, he shook his head. Although he has no ideas yet, Zhou Fei is very confident in himself, and he should have no problem designing jewelry with his ingenuity.
He hugged him and gently rubbed his temples so that he didn't think too tired. From his own point of view, the Yuzhou shop in Nancheng will survive for a long time, perhaps because the boss of the company has long known about this situation and asked him to design new works, in order to attract new and old customers back, the store is too idle, and those employees who work do not need to do it.
Out of the café, Zhou Pu Sijue sent him back to the store, he had other things to do, and he couldn't stay with him all the time. The subordinates hiding at the door of the store saw that Mr. Zhou was sent home by a handsome man and discussed it, these employees had not seen Zhou Mu Sijue, but had only heard his name, so when they saw him himself, none of them recognized him, which is why Zhou Fei did not refuse him to send him back.
Before Zhou Fei entered the door, the employees stopped discussing, but their faces were filled with gossip, Zhou Fei glanced at them, and went straight to the front cabinet to admire all the previous jade products, to see if they could find new inspiration from these things.
The little employee who couldn't help gossiping saw that there were no customers in the store, so he asked, "Mr. Zhou, who is the handsome guy who sent you back just now?"
didn't expect them to see it, Zhou Fei rolled his eyes, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Don't talk too much about things that shouldn't be asked." After saying that, he reverted to his usual indifferent face, and these employees he was generally serious, otherwise there would be no deterrent, wouldn't they be in trouble.
He didn't want to say, and the other employees didn't dare to ask, so they pushed and said hurry up and work, hurry up and work. Zhou Fei lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, which was an angle that others couldn't see.
Zhou Fei sat on the chair, looking through the introduction books of all the jewelry in their store with a serious face, and the employees who had wiped the table dozens of times on the side got up and stretched, chatting with the other employees, "Why are there so few people in our store in the past two days?"
"I heard that there seems to be a new jade shop in Nancheng, and the jade in it is very cheap, I guess they all went there!" replied another big-mouthed employee, seemingly ignoring Zhou Fei, who was quietly reading a book on the side.
"Is it that cheap? Do you know where it is? Why don't we go buy some together?"
"Okay, okay, I had a relative buy it a few days ago, but it's cheap. He repeated, and the two employees jumped up with joy.
Zhou Fei, who was reading the book, listened to all their words word for word, his face was pale, he suddenly put down the book, and the heavy book smashed on the table with a muffled "bang" sound, the two employees who were discussing fiercely were startled, and when they turned around, they saw Zhou Fei's eyes were cold, "Do you two have nothing to do, are you all chatting here?"
He was very unhappy, so that the employees had no collective consciousness at all, and they did not have a sense of responsibility as one with the jade shop, which made him feel angry and sad and said that they were beaten, and Zhou Fei came out sullenly.
Turning around to look at the store, there was not a single customer entering for a long time, Zhou Fei actually understood in his heart that the price is the most important thing for a customer, especially the same quality, no one will choose the expensive one, but their jade is from the Jueling Jade Field, if the price is greatly adjusted, they will definitely lose money, which is not cost-effective. However, a business that can be operated without profit or even at a loss when going to an ordinary jade shop makes Zhou Fei incomprehensible, and he feels that he must see what the situation of that jade shop is when he has time.
At the moment, his design task has not yet been completed, and he does not have the slightest idea. Walking on the street, I don't know how long he walked, he actually walked to the door of Guo Duo's house, since he came, he went to meet him. However, instead of going in and sitting for a while, he asked Guo Duo to come out and go out with him for a walk and find inspiration.
"Looking for inspiration?" Guo Duo laughed, "You are such a clever Miss Li, and you will have no inspiration one day?"
He pouted, hugged his head in despair, and raised his head very innocently and shouted: "Xiao Duo'er, don't make fun of me, I'm just a useless salted fish without inspiration!"
Inspiration is something that appears suddenly, and it's normal to have no inspiration now, maybe it will appear suddenly after a while, Guo Duo said that a smart mind like him will definitely be able to come up with it quickly.
Guo Duo ran in front and bought two marshmallows, the snow-white marshmallows were soft and fluffy, and they melted in the mouth, which was amazing. Zhou Puli was in no mood to eat, and kept holding it in his hand, Guo Duo licked the marshmallow into a big hole in two bites like a child. When the two came to the second floor of the teahouse, Zhou Puli was still not happy, and looked at the pedestrians downstairs with his chin propped up.
"Don't worry, there are some things that you can't do well the more you are in a hurry, and there are some things that you don't have to worry about, it can be done. Guo Duo finished eating the marshmallow and threw the remaining small wooden stick aside.
"I don't want to eat it, so you can eat mine too. Zhou Puli handed the marshmallow to his mouth, Guo Duo hesitated for a while, and then took a bite, "Marshmallow is a thing that is as beautiful and sweet as snowflakes, and only you don't like to eat it." ”
He snatched the marshmallow from Zhou Fei's hand, and said to himself: "It's almost winter, I miss the time when it snows, each snowflake seems to have its own characteristics, very delicate......"
Listening to his words, Zhou Puli was stunned, and repeated the sentence he just said next to his ear: Each snowflake has its own unique characteristics and is very exquisite.
He had a flash of inspiration, slapped his leg violently, hugged Guo Duo and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, I thought of it, I thought of it......" Zhou Puli left happily, leaving only the stunned Guo Duo sitting there.
trotted back home, Zhou Puli quickly turned out the pen and paper, and quickly recorded the inspiration in his mind, snowflakes are really a beautiful dusty thing, unlike the ordinary of mundane things, and is known by everyone, if the use of white sheep fat jade to make exquisite snowflake pendants, I think there will be many people like it. Xiao Duo'er's words gave him a hint, and the problem that he had been thinking about for so many days was finally solved.
locked himself in the house and didn't go out for two days, Zhou Puli drew the first draft of the drawings in one go, and wanted to take it to Si Yue to see. As soon as he opened the door, Xin Xin'er rushed straight in, he rushed into the living room and poured himself a large glass of water, panting and pouring the water down before finally calming down: "It's a big deal, Zhou Puli!"
