"Who are you?" Li Xi ran over to open the door, only to find that it was two men and women he didn't know.

The status of the woman, apparently higher, stood at the door. The man, who seemed to be a small person like a follower, stood diagonally.

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Li?" the woman looked intellectual, smiling and asking Li Xi.

Li Xi nodded, "It's me, what's the matter with you?"

The woman said, "That's right, Mr. Li, not long ago, you seemed to have sent a few photos of buttons to our company's mailbox, is that so?"

"Oh!" Li Xi suddenly said, "You are from Chengfeng Clothing Co., Ltd.?"

When he sent the photo, he also attached his address and contact information at the end, but he didn't expect the other party to contact him so quickly, and he took the initiative to find the door.

"My name is Xu Xiaoman, and I am the manager of the purchasing department of Chengfeng Clothing Co., Ltd. ”

The woman took the initiative to stretch out her hand and shook it with Li Xi, "May I ask Mr. Li, are your buttons there, can you let me take a look?"

"Yes, please come in with me. Li Xi let people go to his own home.

The man was obviously just a follower, so much so that Xu Xiaoman didn't introduce Li Xi. After listening to Li Xi's greeting, he followed in.

"Li Xi, this is ......" Bai Wenyan saw the stranger and stood up.

"Oh! It's from Chengfeng Clothing Co., Ltd. Li Xi casually introduced.

"Hello. Bai Wenyan nodded and didn't say much.

"Hello. Xu Xiaoman just greeted Bai Wenyan, his eyes fell on the buttons on the table, and his breathing quickly became short.

With so many exquisite buttons, the impact is still quite huge for people who make clothing, especially for senior fashion designers.

And this Xu Xiaoman's identity is obviously not just a purchasing manager. So as soon as I saw these buttons, I was immediately intrigued.

Li Xi observed his words and looks, and when he saw Xu Xiaoman's expression, he didn't speak.

Xu Xiaoman took a deep breath, then calmed down and turned to Li Xi, "Mr. Li, what kind of price are you going to sell these buttons, let's make a price." ”

"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled, "I want to know, what kind of price are you going to buy it at." ”

Xu Xiaoman bent down and picked among the pile of buttons for a moment. There are many different types of these buttons, and they all come in different styles. Xu Xiaoman chose for a moment, and finally made a distinction in the material like Bai Wenyan.

"That's it, Mr. Li, I bought all these buttons of yours, a thousand yuan for each button, what do you think?"

When Bai Wenyan heard this offer, he couldn't help but move his lips and wanted to speak.

Li Xi hurriedly stopped with a look in his eyes, and then shook his head at Xu Xiaoman, "If you can only offer this price, I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it at all." And these buttons, my intention to sell them is not urgent. ”

He had already learned the value of these buttons from Bai Wenyan, how could he sell them easily?

Xu Xiaoman didn't seem to care about Li Xi's refusal at all, and discussed: "Otherwise, Mr. Li, how about you come and open a price? No matter how good your buttons are, there must always be a price." ”

Li Xi looked at Bai Wenyan and said euphemistically: "These buttons, I have other uses for the time being." Otherwise, you go back and think about it, think of a reasonable price, and come back to me. ”

Xu Xiaoman was obviously unwilling to return in vain, so he patiently discussed with Li Xi, "Mr. Li, these buttons of yours are not suitable for ordinary clothes at all. Even if we ride the wind, the number of buttons we can use will not be too much. If there are too many buttons, it will not be worth much. ”

"You have a point. Li Xi said: "So, I don't plan to sell you too many buttons." ”

"Oh!" Xu Xiaoman was obviously stunned, and his expression was slightly disappointed, "What does Mr. Li mean?"

Li Xi said: "My meaning is very simple, I will only take out some of these buttons for sale. Only one set of each button will be sold. As for the price, you go back and think it through, and then come to me to buy it. ”

The current Li Xi is not in a hurry to use money at all. Since Bai Wenyan himself is a costume designer, he can wait until Bai Wenyan's clothing is designed, make his buttons famous, and then sell the buttons to the outside.

At that time, it was obvious that buttons could be sold for a better price than they do now.

In fact, the reason why Li Yi sent the pictures of the buttons was also because he didn't know that Bai Wenyan was also doing clothing design, and if he had known in advance, he might not have sent pictures to Chengfeng Clothing at all.

"This ......" Xu Xiaoman hesitated, and after a while, he discussed with Li Xi again, "Otherwise, Mr. Li, I will pay three thousand yuan for these buttons of yours, and I will choose some by myself." ”

Three thousand yuan a piece is already a lot higher than the price of one thousand yuan just now, but Xu Xiaoman has to choose it himself.

Even if it is a button, the value is not the same, and the value of the gold button is definitely not as good as the jade button and the agate button. This point has already been said by Bai Wenyan just now.

According to the value of the gold button, three thousand yuan a piece, may be able to be sold. But the better jade buttons, the agate buttons, if they are still sold at this value, will be too much of a loss.

Therefore, Li Xi directly refused and said unceremoniously: "You better go back and think about it, and then make an offer." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked for someone directly.

But since Xu Xiaoman has seen these buttons, where is he willing to return in vain? You know, according to Bai Wenyan, with these delicate buttons, you can completely design the style of clothes according to the buttons.

Therefore, each of these buttons can be said to be a delicate and expensive dress.

I didn't care about Li Xi's rudeness, and discussed with Li Xi again, "Mr. Li, can you please make a price and let me choose a set of buttons and take them back as a sample?"

"This ......" The other party's request is really not high, and it is also quite reasonable, Li Xi hesitated slightly, and then agreed, "In this way, my set of these buttons is about six." You can pick a set at random and give it to me according to 10,000 yuan each. ”

10,000 yuan a piece, this price is really not low. If you really use this set of buttons to make clothes, a piece of clothing will be made of 60,000 yuan just for buttons.

For an ordinary person, 60,000 yuan to buy a piece of clothing is simply crazy. But for the wealthy in the upper class, buying clothes, especially dresses, is simply not worth 180,000 yuan for a piece of clothing.

It is rumored that the value of a dress by the DIAN boss of a certain country is tens of millions, and a certain female star even wears a dress worth hundreds of millions.

A button is tens of thousands of yuan, if you can really make a good dress, not to mention the price of 10 million, even if it is only a million, it is definitely worth the price.

And for the extravagant upper class, don't think that buying a piece of clothing worth millions will take a few years or more than ten years. In fact, if it is a dress, for those who are a little more extravagant, it is basically only worn once.

Attend a big banquet and buy an extravagant gown. If you can become the focus of the banquet because of this dress (limited to women), such a dress will be completely worth the price.

In fact, in such a banquet, the core is not men, but women are the real dazzling. This is also the main reason why successful men attending such a banquet must bring a beautiful female companion.

When my wife is old, I take my daughter with me. If you don't have a daughter, you will bring a young love FU. This situation was not a special case in the Middle Ages and even in modern times in the West, but very common.

Bring a beautiful female companion, dress up carefully, and if you can really become the center of attention at the banquet, you will receive more attention at the banquet.

The attention at this time is not the same as ordinary attention. You open a micro-BO and ask for a fan, and the people who follow you are usually just ordinary people. At this kind of banquet, except for some unfamous little female stars who are looking for opportunities, the others are rich.

Every little extra attention usually brings huge hidden benefits.

Knowing more rich people may bring you hundreds of millions or even billions of income in your future business.

In the face of such huge potential benefits, such an investment in the early stage is definitely worth it.

This kind of banquet has just begun to take shape in China. In the West, especially in continental Europe, such social etiquette has been prevalent since the Middle Ages.

Therefore, the ancient Western aristocracy had his own unique set of criteria for choosing a mate. So much so that countless ordinary families, if they want their daughters to marry better, they have to hire a tutor early to teach etiquette.

It is also from this that the most famous lady diplomacy was born.

Of course, the consequences of this are also quite serious. The YIN chaos of Western ladies is also based on this unique way of socializing.

But in any case, the existence of luxury goods naturally has its meaning of existence. Especially for the upper class, the existence of luxury goods is definitely not to highlight their luxury. But after decorating these luxuries, you can bring more benefits to yourself.

However, some ordinary people who are not very rich blindly pursue luxuries, which is a kind of psychological pathology.

Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard Li Xi's words. Li Xi offered a button for 10,000 yuan, to be honest, this price is not very high for her psychological price.

But you can only choose one set, which means that you can only make one dress.

You know, buttons are not the same as the fabric used to make dresses. The style of the dress cannot fail, and once it fails, it means that the design is in vain, and all kinds of materials cannot be used.

Buttons are different, and even if they fail, they can be taken off and placed on top of another piece of clothing. In other words, such a set of buttons can definitely be made into a dress.

And with the delicacy of this button, which can be used as an ornament, no matter what kind of dress is placed on it, it will not reduce the grade of such a dress.

A set of buttons that must be made into a dress can be bought for 60,000 yuan, which is really not very expensive. In fact, the cost of the dress itself, is not particularly expensive. What is really expensive is the design and the modifications made in between.

It is even possible that a really good dress can be made in a group, taking a year or even longer. In the meantime, it took immeasurable amount of effort to revise, redesign, and even start all over again.

Even if a lot of time is spent, it may not be possible to succeed in the end. This is also the most fundamental reason why the price of dresses will be so expensive.

The layman only sees a dress worth millions, or even tens of millions, but he doesn't know that such a dress worth millions, or even tens of millions, is likely to take dozens of people in a company for a year or even more of hard work.

The design of such a dress is not just for the wearer to wear it and fit, or to look good.

The most important thing is to receive the kind of eye-catching, or stunning, that people can see at a glance, as if they have been slapped in the face.

It can be said that in order to make money, the Western upper class spends no less effort on hard work than in China. Domestic is ...... Well...... In ancient times, China tried all kinds of crooked tricks to give gifts, while the West tried every means to show off at the banquet.

This is also a free economy with ...... The fundamental difference between the ancient domestic economy.

However, with the gradual refinement of various work processes of relevant domestic departments, such banquet methods have gradually become popular in China.

This is also one of the reasons why some big-name female stars are more popular.

In fact, if we go back to the Minguo period, this type of socialization is much more common.

Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but discuss with Li Xi, "A set of buttons, it feels a little less." Mr. Li, according to the price you offered, can I pick a few more sets? Ten sets, what do you think?"

She really can't bear these beautiful buttons. Ten sets of buttons means that you can make ten very good dresses.

You know, the buttons that grow on the button tree are quite large. These buttons, which only need to be attached to the clothes, do not require much decoration at all, and are very eye-catching in themselves.

Even at Xu Xiaoman's level, he can't make dresses worth tens of millions. With these buttons, it is quite easy to make a dress that is a million, or a dress that is hundreds of thousands.

If you are designing hundreds of thousands of dresses, you don't need to design too much of the dress itself, and it is already a pretty good dress to make a similar dress and embellished with such a set of buttons.

The buttons that grow on the button tree are absolutely not so exquisite that ordinary factories or individuals can make them.

How could Li Xi agree? Hearing this, he shook his head, "You better choose a set to try first, to be honest, I am not in a hurry to sell these buttons." It's just that it's not easy to see that you've run so far, so I'm willing to let you pick a set and try it back. (To be continued.) )
