Chapter 26 New Business Opportunities

"Can you help them match?"

Xia Keqing pondered for a moment and her eyes lit up instantly.

This era is a period of rapid economic development in the country, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere.

Originally, Xia Keqing had no plans to do business.

The main reason is that she is not cut out for business.

The most important thing is that with Shen Jichuan as her golden thigh, she can completely avoid making her life so tiring.

But now, the golden thigh is not around!

Besides, who would complain about having too much money?

Soon, the planned economy era will become history. Money is a good thing.

"Sure, I'm planning to open a clothing studio, so I can help them match clothes when the time comes."

He Xiaolan's attention was instantly diverted, "Clothing studio?"

Xia Keqing nodded. The concept of studio might be relatively new to people today, but it should not be difficult to understand.

"Yes, to put it simply, it is to match clothes according to their personal characteristics and sell them to them."

He Xiaolan's eyes lit up, "Wow! Then can everyone buy clothes that suit them?"

Xia Keqing smiled and said, "You can say that."

She glanced at her two silent roommates, Li Fen and Zhao Juan, and asked, "Do you want to join me?"

Li Fen was stunned and looked at Zhao Juan, "But I don't understand."

Zhao Juan also remained silent.

Although when Xia Keqing mentioned the word studio, she immediately thought of the tailors in the past who specialized in serving wealthy families.

Anyway, it means almost the same thing.

When you develop to a certain level, you must design your own clothes and create your own brand.

When she thought of this, Zhao Juan felt a little excited.

But she was always calm and composed, so she didn't show it.

“How do you want us to participate?”

Xia Keqing was a little surprised that Zhao Juan, who always kept to herself, was actually interested in her plan.

Just tell me your thoughts again.

"Xiaolan is popular and can attract customers for the studio."

"Juanzi has a good figure and can be a model."

"As for Sister Fen..."

Xia Keqing was silent for a moment.

In fact, the person who is the most difficult to arrange is Li Fen. She came from the bottom of society, has a husband and a daughter, studies very hard, and only wants to learn more.

Although the relationship between the four of them is good, they still maintain a sense of distance.

Especially since the original owner was a love-brained person and she didn't care about anything for the scumbag Chen Zhou, this made several roommates look down on her and think that she was out of her mind.

Unless you are a particularly slow-witted person, you can sense other people's politeness and distance.

Therefore, Xia Keqing had no way of knowing the specialties of her roommates from the original owner's memory.

Li Fen was a little embarrassed. "I can make clothes. I sew all my daughter's clothes myself."

Xia Keqing's eyes instantly brightened, "Really?"

Li Fen's face turned red.

She was not used to Xia Keqing's gaze and always felt embarrassed.

In fact, in the countryside, it is common for women to have some needlework skills. After all, in an era of food and clothing shortages, any resource was extremely precious, let alone ready-made clothes.

Most of the children's clothes are adults' clothes that have been altered to be smaller.

Some women are not good at making clothes, so they only make the clothes smaller, maybe several times, with one sleeve being longer than the other. But Li Fen is not like that. She will patiently measure the clothes with a ruler before making the alterations, and she will also try her best to make the altered clothes look better.

Use brightly colored fabrics to sew a small flower or animal onto the reduced size of the garment.

So my daughter likes to wear the clothes she altered.

However, Li Fen felt that this was just a little trick and was not worthy of being shown in public, so she was a little embarrassed to talk about it.

"Yes, it's just a simple modification. It won't be difficult if you do it more often."

Xia Keqing nodded and had a deeper understanding of Li Fen.

A mother who is a little expert in DIY handicrafts.

Of course, she had never seen Li Fen's daughter, and didn't know how good her skills were, but at least she was better than her, and she wouldn't do that.

Just like what Zhao Juan thought, Xia Keqing was now only thinking about helping people match clothes.

In other words, it means "engaging in wholesale and retail."

But if you want to become stronger and bigger, you must have your own R&D team in the future.

It’s design and tailoring.

Although there is no need to think so far ahead now, if the wholesale clothes do not fit the customers, having Li Fen, who knows how to tailor, will be helpful.

The more Xia Keqing thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.

Most clothes in this era are loose-fitting.

But how can loose clothes highlight the graceful beauty of women? So someone has to be able to alter the clothes.

Xia Keqing grabbed Li Fen's hand and said, "Sister, our studio needs talents like you."

Li Fen felt even more embarrassed by what she said.

But she wasn't the type to be shy. "Okay, since you think I can do it, I will definitely join."

The last time Xia Keqing matched clothes for He Xiaolan, everyone in the dormitory saw it.

It did indeed lengthen He Xiaolan's leg lines to a great extent, making her visually at least five centimeters taller. Because the effect was so good, those beauty-loving female classmates asked her where she bought the clothes.

He Xiaolan suddenly thought of something, "Oh!"

She exclaimed, "Oh! I told them I bought it at the market!"

"Look at my brain!"

Her face turned a little pale and she looked at Xia Keqing apologetically.

Xia Keqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The market has been selling clothes for many years. Everyone knows that the clothes there are good-looking and cheap, but it's still the same if you don't know how to match them, right?"

When you think about it, it is indeed true.

He Xiaolan's family was well off and her parents loved her very much, so she often bought clothes, but most of the time she would go to higher-end department stores and rarely go to the market.

Department store clothes are indeed of better quality and more expensive.

But no matter how good the clothes are, they won’t look good if they are not matched well.

She immediately turned from sadness to joy, "Yes, you are right."

"Keqing, what are your plans?"

Xia Keqing smiled and said, "How about this, I go shopping for clothes with them for free?"

He Xiaolan was stunned.

"Then you can't make any money?"

It was said that it was a studio, so it must be for making money. Could it be that it was to help young ladies who don’t know how to match clothes?

Xia Keqing smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to earn our first start-up capital."

He Xiaolan looked confused, while Zhao Juan and Li Fen looked at each other.

Li Fen said politely, "If you need us, just let us know."

Zhao Juan also nodded.

Xia Keqing immediately pulled Zhao Juan along, "I can use you guys right now."

Xia Keqing directly brought the entire dormitory to the market, which was the stall where she helped He Xiaolan match clothes last time.

The person selling clothes was a middle-aged woman who was cracking melon seeds and her attitude was not particularly enthusiastic.

Judging from their age and the way they are dressed, they are probably students from nearby.

The regular customers here are indeed mostly students. After all, the clothes here are cheap and affordable.

Women who earn wages prefer to go to department stores.

Students have limited spending power. There were four of us in total, and the most they could buy was one item per person.
