When Shen Huaichuan strode back to the auditorium of the First Garment Factory, the new product launch had already ended, but the atmosphere was ten times more heated than before.
Those hundred-plus people, whether they were large wholesalers from out of town or purchasing managers from local department stores, none of them were willing to leave. They all crowded around the table, craning their necks, wishing they could stick their eyes to the "ink-wash brilliance" fabric, carefully examining the unique shading patterns on the material and touching the exquisite workmanship.
Even more quick-witted and agile individuals had already squeezed around Zhou Qiqi and Zhang Guoqiang, their voices rising higher and higher as they waved their arms and began frantically grabbing the goods!
"Director Zhang! Master Zhou! [Ink Pond], give me 500 long pieces and 300 short pieces! I'll pay the deposit now!"
"Old Zhang, we've known each other for years! Give me your goods first, any color is fine!"
"【Golden Yellow Willow】, give me all of those golden yellow ones! I'm buying them all! Nobody can take them from me!"
"Hey, stop pushing! Can't you be a little more considerate of first come, first served! I was here first!"
"Whatever you little karami send me, however much you have, I'll take it all! The price is negotiable, I can handle any number of items!"
The scene instantly transformed into a bustling market...
Isn't that right? It's a shopping frenzy even more intense than a farmers' market!
Especially those who had been making the biggest fuss and demanding double the deposit were now beaming with joy, as if they hadn't been the ones making those sarcastic remarks at all, and were desperately trying to add more to their orders:
"Master Zhou! Factory Director Zhang! It's all a misunderstanding! It was all that bastard Qiu Fengxian's doing, stirring up trouble! We have the highest hopes for our No. 1 Factory! We'll convert that deposit into new products! I'll place another order...an additional order of five hundred pieces!"
Everyone knew perfectly well that once this batch of unique and stunning "ink painting brilliance" was brought back, it would definitely be a bestseller!
Whoever gets the goods first gains the upper hand!
Faced with this chaotic scene that was almost out of control, Zhou Qiqi took a deep breath, calmly walked back onto the stage, and clapped her hands.
Her aura was completely different now. With just a simple gesture, the noisy scene quickly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She picked up the microphone, her voice clear and powerful, echoing throughout the entire auditorium:
"Thank you all for your patronage! We at the First Garment Factory appreciate your kindness! But..."
She abruptly changed the subject, her gaze sweeping over the eager faces in the audience:
"As you can see, the [Ink and Wash Splendor] process is complex, involving purely hand-dyeing, and the production volume is really limited. Unlike the previous sweater dresses, we can't meet all orders, and it's not something that just anyone with a loud voice can get the goods."
Many people on the stage immediately showed signs of nervousness.
Zhou Qiqi smiled slightly and made the most crucial decision: "But—"
She emphasized her words.
"For any partners who previously ordered the [Guanghua] series and did not choose to get a refund of their deposit, our factory will prioritize supplying all orders—everyone will get a share! And—"
She paused again, looking at the eyes that lit up instantly below the stage, and continued speaking.
"We've been working overtime these past few days to produce a small batch of ready-made stock. We'll give each of you two sets for free. You can take one set home as a gift, and hang the other set in your shop to warm up the market! After I finish speaking, just go directly to our factory manager, Mr. Zhang, to register!"
Upon hearing this, most of the people in the audience beamed with joy!
Most of the people who came to this press conference were those who still had some hope and hadn't gotten their deposits back. They really hit the jackpot!
They were all beaming with joy, their smiles never stopping.
A small group of people, however, instantly looked dejected, their heads drooping, filled with deep regret.
They had received an invitation, but hesitated for a long time. Although they thought the new product looked promising, they thought that the double deposit was real money, so they decided to take it and eventually asked Zhang Guoqiang for a refund.
Zhang Guoqiang withdrew readily at the time, and they were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking they were clever and had gotten a great deal.
Now look what's happened, we've suffered a huge loss!
That deposit is only a small amount; you can easily earn it back by selling a few [Ink and Wash Splendor] paintings!
Now if you want to place an order, you'll have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
If all the other stores have this hot item on display but they don't, won't they lose all their customers?
These seven or eight people wished they could turn back time and go back to slap themselves a few times!
They secretly vowed that if the "Seven" brand ever releases a new product in the future, they wouldn't even need the sample clothes; they would order it with their eyes closed!
They were completely impressed by Zhou Qiqi's ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!
Zhou Qiqi continued on stage, her voice gentle yet powerful:
"Today, the [Ink and Wash Splendor] collection is able to meet everyone thanks to the hard work of our entire team. We thank Master Ma and her skilled female workers; it is their skillful hands that have given the fabric its soul. We also thank Lei Yuhua and the girls from the performing arts troupe for bringing such a wonderful stage to life, and all the models for their perfect performances..."
At today's press conference, Zhou Qiqi also asked the workers on the production line to take a break. Master Ma and the others sat in places further away on both sides. After Zhou Qiqi finished speaking, the lights shone on them. Facing the curious and admiring gazes of the people, the girls waved a little shyly.
The lights returned to the stage, and Zhou Qiqi's gaze softened considerably:
"Finally, I would like to give a special thanks to my little girl, Zhouzhou. It was her innocence and creativity that gave me the most crucial inspiration!"
