Chapter 134: Go see the outside world

When the market was first opened up, Meng Shulan asked her sister to come up with a name and a trademark.

Meng Changli also told her brother about this matter. They didn't know anything about trademark design. The current label was made by someone Meng Chenggong had hired.

Meng Changli: "I went to the city on Monday and brought it back. Now every pair of trousers has a label sewn on it. When I was selling the goods, I also specifically reminded everyone to emphasize this point. I think the effect is pretty good. Some old customers still approve of it."

Meng Shulan nodded, "Okay, this is the direction we are working towards. Sister, we have taken a crucial step."

Meng Changli smiled, "Yes, from now on, everything produced by our family will have its own name."

Meng Shulan stroked the label and said, "Sister, this is the name, but we need to express it in written language in the future. Call it a brand."

Meng Changli clapped her hands, "Yes, yes, it's a brand. There's nothing I can do. I haven't heard of these before. If I don't say them a few times, my brain won't remember them.

Shulan, you are right. Scaling up, establishing your own trademark and registering a brand are the first steps.

Afterwards, we will transform into a factory, do wholesale and open franchise stores.

Of course, these two points are the general direction. We cannot casually ignore the current situation of the Ye family using despicable means to steal business, and we must take it seriously. "

Meng Changli said this and took out her notebook.

It is called a notebook, but in fact it is just white manuscripts bound by herself, with the design sketches she drew on them.

Meng Changli had some basic knowledge of painting because of making clothes and learning embroidery, but it was rather superficial and she always stayed at the stage of copying.

But now, she has started to draw some sketches to design her own clothes.

I have never learned it. I just draw whatever I want. It's OK as long as I can understand it.

Meng Changli took the picture and explained it to her sister, then took out a sample and showed it to Meng Shulan.

"Although we have been trying our best to compete with the Ye family for business in several nearby towns these days, I have actually decided to give up on this type of pants in the store. Shulan, what do you think? After we make these new products, we can start selling them wholesale to make some money first, and then when we expand, we can open our own brand store. What do you think?"

Meng Shulan: "Sister, your idea is not wrong, let's do it this way."

Meng Shulan felt that her sister had a good business sense and could understand many things at a glance.

At present, they have ideas, but lack capital. If they want to open a brand store, they cannot expand the scale without hundreds or thousands of products. There is no problem in setting up a factory first and going the wholesale route.

but……

"Sister, we need to go the wholesale route, but you don't have to throw away the pants you made so far. Let's do it."

Meng Changli: "Now the He family has directly learned the style. If we continue to compete like this, we won't make much money. In the end, we will be very tired, right?"

Although Meng Changli really wanted to bring down the Ye family's store, she felt it was not worth it to waste too much time and energy on these people.

What she needs to do now is to develop more new products, transform into a factory, and wholesale their products.

In this way, they can expand their business instead of staying in these small towns and competing with others over price.

Meng Shulan shook her head, "Sister, we are not competing with them, it is wholesale, it is others who have to compete with the Ye family."

Meng Changli was startled for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Shulan, you are right. I worked late into the night to make this pair of pants, and I can't just give it to someone else. As long as this thing exists, someone will naturally confront the Ye family."

Meng Changli felt that her mind had broadened again.

This feeling is really good. Ever since her divorce and her business, she has lived a fulfilling life every day. There is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship or family matters to worry about. She is always planning for the future. She had never thought about it before, but now that she is in it, she can finally understand Director Song Huailing's determination to divorce.

Meng Changli secretly cheered herself up, and then took out the windbreaker she had just made for her sister to try on.

"I made this style based on the styles in the magazines that Gu Hansong brought me. The dress is long and wide, and I don't know if it looks good or not. You have good taste, so try it on and see for yourself."

The magazines that Gu Hansong brought back last time were all written in traditional Chinese characters. It went without saying that they were not published in the mainland.

In fact, the things above are the fashion trends of the next few years. There is nothing wrong with moving closer to the above styles, but Meng Changli has never seen it, doesn't understand it, and can't figure out what's good about these things.

To put it bluntly, I just lack experience.

But since it was something from a book, Meng Changli felt that it must be correct, but she was too unsophisticated and had no vision.

The color of the windbreaker is a darker military green, and Meng Changli tried her best to restore the color in the magazine.

Although she didn't see how much this color looked, she still did it anyway.

After Meng Shulan took it, she felt it was very good.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The military green color that is popular nowadays is a very authentic color of the times, but in the next wave, it will soon be eliminated by society.

"Sister, it's good, it looks good."

Meng Shulan turned around in front of the mirror, then untied her braids, combed her hair and draped it over her shoulders.

At first, when Meng Shulan put on her clothes, Meng Changli didn't think it was a big deal, but when her sister let her hair down, Meng Changli's eyes lit up.

"Shulan, you look really good in this and with your braids undone. You look like a city college student."

Meng Shulan nodded, "Sister, you are right. So there is nothing wrong with this dress, it is good, very elegant and beautiful. The problem is my two braids, they are too rustic.

But it doesn’t matter, as the market opens up, people’s habit of braiding their hair will soon change.”

Young girls' hair is either tied into a ponytail, let down, or cut into some nice hairstyles, otherwise it looks really tacky.

Meng Changli smiled a little excitedly, "You're right, just like the models in magazines, those women's hair is curled and looks a little messy, but with makeup and clothes, they look like rich ladies.

Shulan, I want to make this dress in a few more colors, can you help me take a look..."

That day, Meng Shulan did not return to the village. Having just finished her exams, she was able to relax temporarily. The two sisters discussed their future development, flipped through magazines and talked about clothes, and talked until late at night.

Meng Shulan talked a lot to her sister about the future and the prosperous world outside.

Of course, she didn't see these things "with her own eyes", she just read them in books and newspapers.

Meng Changli listened quietly, somewhat absorbed in the subject.

It was really late, and they had to rest. Meng Changli tentatively said to her sister, "Seeing is believing. What do you think about me going out and seeing the world? It just so happens that I couldn't contact the textile factory last time I went to the city. I won't call this time. I want to go and see it in person."
