Seeing that Ye Qing was deep in thought, her colleagues in the studio knew that she was starting to seriously consider the problem. After organizing their thoughts, they continued, "Our studio is currently located in a location that can accommodate clients who want to do haute couture."
The newly opened branch in the shopping mall still specializes in regular ready-to-wear clothing. After all, when the shopping mall was being planned and built, the target audience was already set, so the spending power of the people there was roughly known.
Compared to other clothing brands, our regular clothing prices are somewhat lower, and without promotion, I don't think our store has any advantage.
Ye Qing silently twirled the pen in her hand, pondering her colleague's words. In fact, what her colleague said made sense.
When Ye Qing chose to open a branch in the shopping mall, it was not only because of the good location, but also largely because of Huang Yu's help. While Ye Qing was still carefully considering whether to really rent the store there, Huang Yu had already prepared all the formalities, and all she had to do was sign them.
At that moment, Ye Qing was a little dazed. He didn't know if it was because of face or something else, but he just signed the contract. Ye Qing didn't feel anything special when he signed the contract to rent the shop.
Even now, although the renovation is complete, leaving it unused would result in a significant financial loss. However, considering Ye Qing's current financial situation and the company's profit and loss management, he can afford to bear the loss from leaving the rented property unused.
However, it's one thing to be able to afford it but have no suitable solution and just leave it there, and it's another thing to have a solution but not think about it, which is just a waste.
Ye Qing is now facing the second scenario.
Although, as my colleague said, the prices at the shopping mall were a bit lower than what they were selling ready-made clothes, advertising was one way to let people know.
However, Ye Qing's current concern is: "I have no problem shooting the cover, but as you can see from my current situation, I'm pregnant, my belly is so big, I can't even fit into the regular clothes in our store."
“This problem is easy to solve, just find a model,” my colleague said. “Of course, the magazine specifically asked you to shoot the cover, so if we find a model, it can only be for the inside pages. But I don’t think it’s a big problem. When the model is wearing our regular ready-to-wear clothes for the inside pages, you can be there too. That way, we’ll still have the advertising effect. And even though you’re pregnant and can’t wear many clothes, there are a few styles in this season’s new collection that are relatively loose-fitting. Judging from your current figure, you should be able to wear them. Whether it’s for the cover or the inside pages, there are styles that you can wear.”
Ye Qing, as the boss, knew exactly what the new styles looked like, and she also knew whether there were any that she could wear. Because she hadn't initially planned to shoot a cover, she hadn't paid much attention to the new ready-to-wear clothes. Now, however, she had to consider her colleagues' opinions and ideas.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing said, "I have no problem shooting, but you should also know that the clothes for such high-profile magazine photoshoots are not something we can just wear as our own ready-to-wear. Although they asked me to shoot the cover, it doesn't mean that our ready-to-wear can be compared with other big brands. Of course, we definitely think that our own designs are the best, but even so, we should have a clear and rational understanding."
The colleague nodded, understanding what Ye Qing meant.
Ye Qing said, "So I'll talk to them first and see what the magazine says. If the magazine agrees, then there's no problem. But if the magazine doesn't agree, then there's nothing I can do."
At first, Ye Qing did consider wearing their own designs, but then she realized that such a prestigious magazine usually collaborates with major brands. They wouldn't require Ye Qing to wear clothes from brands they collaborate with, but they also wouldn't advertise for Ye Qing much.
Furthermore, if Ye Qing does shoot a cover, she should wear her own personal clothes, but they should be the kind of clothes where you can't tell the brand, otherwise it would be like advertising for the clothing brand.
When Dalson approached Ye Qing to shoot a magazine cover, Ye Qing wasn't very enthusiastic. Besides Jiang Xinya and others, she also found the small details and intricacies of the shoot troublesome, which dampened her interest.
After all, Ye Qing is pregnant now, and pregnant women naturally have limited clothing choices. But as a woman, she naturally wants to look beautiful when taking photos, so choosing clothes is also a headache.
Although Ye Qing now finds it troublesome, he has made up his mind to have a proper talk with them.
After all, Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi had coffee together. If the two of them teamed up against him, it would be terrible.
So after her colleague left Ye Qing's office, Ye Qing picked up the phone to call Dalson, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind.
Ye Qing put down the phone, came out of her office, and went to find the colleague she had just spoken to.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, her colleague immediately tore off a sticky note, found the phone number Ye Qing wanted, wrote it down, and gave it to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing took the phone number her colleague had given her and dialed it.
Ye Qing originally intended to call Dalson, but thinking that magazine covers generally don't need to involve the boss, she changed her mind.
Moreover, since he had made up his mind to shoot the cover, he would have to keep in touch with Jiang Xinya in the future. Since he was going to keep in touch, Ye Qing thought about it and decided that he should take the initiative.
By taking the initiative, Jiang Xinya became much more passive.
Although Ye Qing had never been to Jiang Xinya's magazine office, he knew its location, recalling the place where he had met Jiang Xinya before.
Ye Qing calculated the time, figuring that Jiang Xinya should be back in the office by now if she hadn't turned around outside, before making the call.
After all, if Jiang Xinya isn't available when I call, and she has to call me back, then I'll be in a passive position. Since I've decided to take the initiative, I should try my best not to become passive again.
It has to be said that Ye Qing's timing was very accurate, or you could say she was lucky. In any case, when she made the call, Jiang Xinya happened to answer it.
When Jiang Xinya heard it was Ye Qing, she was stunned for a moment and had the urge to hang up.
As if she had guessed Jiang Xinya's thoughts, Ye Qing said slowly, "I know you don't want to have any contact with me. Coincidentally, I don't want to either. Of course, if the issue of the cover for your inaugural issue has been resolved, then please go ahead. You don't need to make things difficult for yourself."
