Chapter 114 Cost Recovery
As a royal daughter, Princess Renshou's clothes have always been supplied by the palace, and she doesn't know what the situation of the folk ready-to-wear shops is. This dress was sent by a friend of hers who knew her well, and she wore it to preside over the banquet because she looked dignified and steady.
When asked by everyone, she was also at a loss, not knowing what a 'studio' was, and she didn't know where this studio was.
The nobles couldn't help but disperse in disappointment, and each sent someone to inquire about where the Narauszi studio was sacred.
After the minions received the order, they were also worried, Kyoto is so big, where can I find a small workshop?
Before they could get enough of worrying, all the new tea shops suddenly posted a huge portrait of a lady, and the woman in the portrait was clearly wearing the strange dress that her master said.
There was also a line of small characters written next to the portrait, and the literate slave looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, he saw the words 'Wai Yu Studio'. The name of the store is followed by a specific address, so you don't have to worry about finding a place.
"So it's here!" The minions were finally saved, and hurriedly wrote down the address and hurried to the studio.
"Slow down, don't worry." The guys in the studio were already busy with their feet on the ground at this time. Not long after the 'poster' was hung up, the customers rushed to hear the news, and the huge store was so crowded that it couldn't stand still.
Zhou, as the owner of the studio, is sitting with Du Baozhu and Cui Shi and others in the tea shop opposite the studio at the moment, observing the movements of the studio.
Seeing such a hot scene, she couldn't help but wonder: "Jiaojiaoer, this ready-to-wear shop is so profitable, why did you give it to me?" β
The Zhou family has no children of his own, and his favorite is Jiaojiao'er, a niece. Therefore, when Du Baozhu asked her to open the studio, she did not hesitate to renovate her own ready-to-wear shop.
When ordering the signboard, she wanted to write 'Du Ji', but was stopped by Du Baozhu, saying that this shop belonged to Zhou's, and it was better to use Zhou's name.
She originally thought that this was an ordinary ready-to-wear shop, so she didn't excuse Du Baozhu and changed the signboard to 'θΏ’θΏ’'. When she saw the scene of the crowd of guests, she knew that she had taken a big advantage, so she wanted to re-divide the equity with Du Baozhu.
Du Baozhu hurriedly took her hand and said with a smile: "I have too many things to do now, and I can't take care of this shop." Since you are in charge of taking care of it, of course it is your shop. β
Zhou had to excuse himself, and Cui Shi on the side also came over to help: "Ah Yuan, you just listen to Jiaojiao'er." She just touches her lips in this shop, and it's you who is busy with everything. If you make money, if you don't take the lion's share, it's unreasonable. β
Zhou stopped insisting and turned his attention to the studio again.
The studio was renovated according to the drawings given by Du Baozhu, a small independent building, with a row of windows on each side of the wall, and the light in the room was excellent, illuminating the fabrics on the shelves, and every detail was clear.
In the middle of the room, there are several wooden models, all dressed in the latest styles designed by the studio.
The first one was the one that Princess Renshou wore at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and as soon as the servants sent by the master entered the store, they pointed to this set of clothes and asked for the price.
The guy who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward: "You asked, this dress is from the hands of the chief designer of our studio, and even Princess Renshou likes this one very much." β
The purchasing steward finally found this store, for fear that the clothes would be robbed by others, so he nodded busily: "Yes, this is what I am looking for, wrap it up for me quickly!" β
"Don't worry, guest officer, our studio provides customized services, you can choose your favorite color, and match a unique robe that belongs to you."
"What robes? How to customize? β
"That's the name of this dress, because it's very elegant and ladylike, so it's called that." The guys are all trained and patient: "You have also seen that now everyone is coming for the robes, if they are all made of one color, how can they reflect the beauty of the daughters of your mansion?" β
"So if you are patient, you may wish to choose your own fabric to make a customized model, in addition to the fabric money, we only charge two taels of silver processing fee, which is very cost-effective."
Since she is a noble girl, she is naturally not short of this bit of silver. In order to please their own lady, most of the stewards nodded cooperatively: "Then buy a customized model according to what you said." β
The guy didn't like it, and still raised his hand politely: "Okay, please go upstairs and pick up the fabric." β
If you are in a hurry, you can pay another two taels of urgent fees, so that workers can give priority to making her robes.
Of course, there are also less wealthy women who want to chase the trend. The guy also has a way to deal with it: "My family also has non-customized robes, but because they are made of the same batch of fabrics by workers, the colors are the same, so there is less room for choice." β
After the guests are excited, the guy will add another handful of firewood: "If you buy more, you will also give small items such as purses and sachets." β
In this way, those who have money and those who have no money are all moved, and they have opened their money bags to 'buy, buy, buy'.
When the store was closed in the evening, I realized that more than 50 custom-made robes had been sold, and more than 400 uniforms had been sold, not to mention other old ready-to-wear garments that had been sold.
The price of an even-made robe is 500 yuan, which means that today it is sold for 200,000 yuan just by selling the robe. In addition, the style of ready-to-wear next to it has also sold a lot, and the cost of buying fabrics has returned to more than half.
Cui Shi covered his heart and couldn't believe it: "Our dress is not cheap, why are so many people willing to buy it?" β
"Of course I'm willing to buy it," Du Baozhu explained with a smile: "We use the best silk from Jiangnan, and if the guests sew it themselves, the fabric alone will cost four or five hundred yuan, not to mention that this is a unique style in Kyoto." β
"But ......" Cui Shi was still a little worried: "This cloth is a defective product that has been soaked in water, if it is known, will it ask us to return it?" β
"You can rest assured, when we sell the average system, we first show the guests the good fabrics that are not soaked in water, and the guests will recommend the defective products that have been soaked in water if they are too expensive, and they are not hidden. If someone does come back to make trouble, what shopkeeper will deal with? β
Zhou also smiled: "How many spices and tea did our Jiaojiao use in order to dispose of this batch of fabrics?" I look no different from those who haven't soaked in water, just like that, the fabric is bought to earn, it's too late to be happy, where will I be willing to return? β
Cui Shi put his heart back in his stomach and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao'er just has a lot of ghost ideas. At first, I wondered how long it would take for her to sell out of so many sachets and purses. Unexpectedly, she actually used these gadgets as gifts to hook guests to buy more clothes. β
The purses presented by the studio are made of silk scraps, which are very delicate and luxurious. Ordinary people are reluctant to wear silk clothes alone, where are they willing to make purses so lavishly?
Now that you can get one white by buying two more clothes, who is not tempted?
What's more, the store sells not only women's clothes, but also fabrics and men's ready-to-wear clothes. They are all thick clothes, which can be worn in autumn, and when you leave the house during the Chinese New Year, you can also wear it with an extra jacket inside.
People are good-looking and like to be greedy for some small and cheap, and all the ladies in charge will naturally not let go of this opportunity to pick up cheap for nothing, not to mention that they love to be beautiful, and by the way, they will buy it for the whole family. In this way, when visiting relatives during the New Year, it is both decent and does not cost much money, so why not do it?
In fact, the robe is just a gimmick, and the silk burqas worn by these ordinary people are the bulk of today's sales. Today's sales situation is exactly the same as Du Baozhu expected: "According to this situation, there will not be too many people who will come to buy robes tomorrow, and the second aunt may wish to let all the workers who are not made of customized models change to burqas." β
After all, most of the pretty ladies are reluctant to wear the same clothes as others, although the uniform robe lacks many details, and it is not as good as the customized model, but there are too many people who wear it, so it is not rare.
Zhou liked Du Baozhu more and more, and couldn't help but take her in his arms and hug her again: "How did my sister-in-law give birth to such a painful girl?" Why is the brain melon so easy to use? β
Cui Shi replied in his heart: Isn't it forced out by next year's chaotic army? At such a young age, Jiaojiaoer should have been carefree to study and play, but now she is running around all day long and is busy making money, and she looks so thin that she can't look like it.
But this thing is too bizarre to tell Zhou, she can only hold it in her heart and worry alone. Looking at his daughter, Cui couldn't help but sigh loudly.
The robes are popular in Kyoto, and Tian Lingzi will know sooner or later that they are from Du Baozhu. Therefore, Du Baozhu did not hide it at all, and on the opening day of the studio, he sent a few dresses made of good silk to Tianfu.
However, as soon as Chen Yueyao heard that it was a gift from Du Baozhu, a little slut, he didn't even open the lid of the gift box, so he threw it in the courtyard.
The next day, she deliberately put on a newly made palace skirt in the palace and came to the Xiyi Museum.
I thought that I would win the envy of other nobles, but when I arrived at the Xiyi Museum, I found that the other nobles did not wear the ordinary skirts of the past, but changed into new styles of dresses that she had never seen before.
The dress was not open-breasted or shoulder-barred, only a white neck was exposed from between the slightly standing collars, which looked very weak and holy, like a fairy who had just descended to earth. In comparison, the off-the-shoulder palace skirt on her body looks very frivolous and vulgar.
Her father was a street cake seller, but it wasn't until six years ago that her uncle Tian Lingzi gained power and became a general of Jin Wuwei. The other aristocrats thought that she was not of high background and did not want to associate with her, and when they saw that she was not wearing the latest dress, they covered their lips with fans and whispered.
What's going on? Chen Yueyao was full of questions.
She has always been reluctant to marry into the palace, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she deliberately said that she was sick and did not attend the banquet. How come it is that within a few days, the fashion in Beijing has completely changed?
She had nowhere to show off in a new palace dress, she was so uncomfortable that she finally couldn't help but stop a noble girl after the hall: "Which master's new dress are you wearing?" β
