However, Su Qingluan understood that the other party was definitely not just asking her to "guarantee quality and quantity" and strictly control quality - rather, as long as they were not desperate to make money, when facing a big customer like the Xie Mansion, strict quality control was a matter of course.
After all, for an ordinary family like Su Qingluan, it is not often that they have the opportunity to do business with royal families. This time, it is simply a stroke of luck.
But she also understood that the Su family and the entire Huaxi Village could not simply rely on "luck", so Su Qingluan would use all possible means and all modern marketing methods to seize this opportunity.
So even if Aunt Zhang didn't emphasize it, Su Qingluan would strictly and even harshly control quality - not only quality control, but also the occasional launch of new products.
However, Su Qingluan also knew that Aunt Zhang's requirements were definitely more than that. However, she pinched the five hundred taels of silver note and instantly felt that as long as she was not asked to kill and rob, even if she was asked to launch a new product every month for ten years, she would not hesitate to try.
After all, these five hundred taels are just a deposit.
Party A’s father is the eternal God!
So, although Su Qingluan took the purse, she didn't open it, nor did she show any special surprise. She just pretended to listen attentively. The meaning was very clear: I know you haven't finished speaking, I'm listening, please continue.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang readily agreed without further ado. "Of course, the deposit is limited this time, so regardless of the number of jams per set, I'd like you to make a new set, different from the 'Four Seasons' series, for a total of ten sets. I wonder how many days you can prepare it?"
Su Qingluan asked back, "How many new products should a set contain at least?" Under the premise of a fixed deposit, if calculated based on an average price of one or two taels of gold, then if the new products require more than five new products per set, it would not be cost-effective.
Zhang Ma came from a wealthy family, so she was naturally very thoughtful. She smiled and said, "I know it's not easy for Madam Su to create five different styles of jam in just over a month, so we only need three varieties for this new series. The three yangs bring good luck, and the three flowers gather at the top of the head, which has a very good meaning."
Su Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief: As for the three options, she actually had a rough idea in her mind, but she had not put it into practice yet. This time she happened to give it a try.
However, it is already September. If another month or so passes and it enters late October, I am afraid that once the first snow falls, the last batch of wild fruits will disappear. If we want a new batch of wild fruits to mature, we have to wait until late spring next year at the earliest.
So if you want to do something, you have to make good use of these one and a half months.
However, Su Qingluan did not show any anxiety. Instead, she asked, "How long will it take to make this series of ten new products?"
As expected, Aunt Zhang probably knew her request was a bit unreasonable, so she pleaded, "We came here in a hurry, and we need to return to the Marquis' Mansion in the capital within a month. I have already been in Lefeng County for six days. Including the return trip, this new series needs to be produced within fifteen days."
Su Qingluan frowned. If she were to make a new line of jams, with only three new flavors, she could have the finished product in five, not fifteen. The remaining steps of letting the flavors blend could be completed in the few days she was on the road.
However, if ten sets are needed, and these ten sets are probably used as "trial products" rather than "gifts", it involves the crucial brand packaging design, which is not something she can complete alone - even if the specific patterns are "outsourced" to Mu Xingzhi, Su Qingluan's ideas on the conceptual design are also indispensable.
What's more, there will be relatively larger-scale mass production after this time. If the villagers of Huaxi Village are all willing to participate as "helpers", they can be paid "wages" in a natural way - only in this way can Su Qingluan's original idea of "common prosperity and smooth wintering" become possible.
The coordination of so many manual tasks is undoubtedly a big challenge for her, a self-employed person in two lifetimes.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan suddenly became furious: If I have to die, I must take someone with me. She can't be the only bald person!
Almost in an instant, Su Qingluan found the best candidate for her "victim ally".
This trial sale of products can further expand the influence of her jam in the capital, so for Su Qingluan, it is crucial whether her jam brand can become the first "high-end luxury brand among jams."
However, as a "commodity", the appearance of the decoration must not only satisfy Mrs. Xie's pursuit of "simplicity and elegance", but must also take into account the vast majority of wealthy families.
Su Qingluan has been inquiring about the popular aesthetics in the capital recently and found that it is not simple and clear, but complex patterns, rich fragrance and gorgeous colors that are the most popular.
The main theme is the complicated and wealthy life, which can be described in one sentence as Emperor Qianlong's ecstasy.
However, Xiaoqingxi is not without its market. Many talented men and women who claim that their music is too high-brow for the masses prefer this style, which is a niche popular style.
Therefore, if Su Qingluan wants to take both into account, she can use different jam series to catch the attention of customers from different circles.
What businessman wouldn't be greedy? Su Qingluan said: "Whether it's the rich rose or the fresh jasmine, I want both styles!"
But this little calculation can only be made in the heart for the time being. After all, it is still in the negotiation stage, so Su Qingluan still has to maintain a distressed expression on the surface, saying "It's so difficult, I really can't produce three new products in such a short time."
