Shi Ran yawned while they were talking.
"But then, wouldn't this be a project targeting civilians?"
The father said to the teacher in dissatisfaction.
The Shi family takes the high-end route, and the products they produce focus on brand and price.
Last time, the textiles made by Shi Ran's father were not of the highest quality, so they were priced relatively low. This also made him think about making the products available to ordinary people.
"This price is affordable for ordinary people with a little more money."
The teacher answered in a flat voice.
“Only the rich can afford the price.”
"The focus of this business is not price, but quality."
“What’s the point of having something great if people can’t afford it?”
The two of them had been discussing this matter for a long time.
At first, Shi Ran was also surprised that his father was so passionate about what he was going to do next.
If the father is the fire, the teacher is like the ice.
Because he calmly and clearly refuted his father's burning creativity and poured cold water on it.
“Pricing can’t be delayed any longer.”
“There’s a lot to consider, like the cost of ordering, the price of the samples to make the garments, and the cost of the construction materials.”
"Please listen carefully," the teacher said calmly as always. "I set the price high because the wealthy don't care about their spending power."
"but……"
"This product should be targeted at ordinary people who want high-end products."
Shi Ran looked at the teacher in surprise.
Although he didn't fully understand the business his father and teacher were discussing, he knew from their previous conversation that his father wanted to make products that were affordable for ordinary people.
"High-end products..." Dad lowered his head in thought, as if he was about to be convinced. "Is it right to raise the price?"
Shi Ran became very anxious when he saw this.
Obviously, this was not the original idea.
If it becomes a high-end product, what is the difference between it and Shijia’s current business?
"Please think about this carefully."
After hearing what the teacher said, Dad looked very distressed.
Shi Ran believed in the teacher, but she didn't understand why it turned out like this.
I couldn't help but speak.
"Among ordinary people, there are more poor people than rich people, right? Truly wealthy people are still few and far between. If you really want ordinary people to buy, then the price should be lower. With more ordinary people, more people will buy. Even if the profit isn't that high, you can still make more money by selling in large quantities!"
After saying this, Shi Ran saw a smile appear on the teacher's face as if in slow motion.
It wasn't a relaxed laugh like someone just passing by, nor was it the usual sarcastic smile, but a genuine laugh of joy.
It was the first time she saw her teacher smile. Even in her previous life, she had never seen her teacher smile.
"teacher?"
Shi Ran was also surprised when he heard his father's panicked voice.
If he doesn’t understand, he will laugh.
What she didn't understand even more was that he actually smiled at her.
"Yeah." The teacher slowly put away his smile. "Just like Shi Ran said, price it low and sell more at a lower profit."
Things seemed to end like this.
Until later, after class, Shi Ran was called by the teacher alone.
"Because I have something I want to talk to you alone. Please forgive my impoliteness."
"Haha..." Shi Ran forced a smile, but he felt uneasy inside. "What does the teacher want to tell me?"
I always feel that he has changed a lot since the last time I saw him laugh.
He slowly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Huh?" Shi Ran was slightly taken aback. "Isn't this the ointment made by Lin Yufei? How could I not know about it?"
"Yes, this is the ointment Miss Lin Yufei made in order to get a letter of recommendation from the master. The person who discovered Lin Yufei's ability and strongly recommended her was Miss Shi Ran, right?"
When Shi Ran heard this, his face froze instantly, and his body even trembled slightly.
"I just think it's a pity for her. No! She's really talented and got a letter of recommendation from Grandpa. I'm just acting as a go-between to say a few good words for her in front of Grandpa."
"But, Miss Shi Ran, you are only ten years old."
“…”
Shi Ran bit her lip and couldn't speak.
"You're only ten years old. If I just say a few nice words, it will probably be seen as a child's pampering."
“…”
Shi Ran held her breath, her hands tightly clutching her clothes.
She didn't know how to explain her rebirth.
Seeing she didn't say anything, the teacher continued, "Think about it this way, the textile business was the same. I looked at that deal, and in my opinion, it was a business that would completely lose money and even offend people. But you accidentally brought the young master to the master, and it actually turned things around."
"Ha!" Shi Ran felt sweat all over his forehead, and said in a panic: "It was just a coincidence."
The teacher slowly squatted down, causing Shi Ran to take a step back trembling.
The teacher pressed on, "Last time we were at my house discussing the young master's career, you opposed my opinion. Was that also a coincidence?"
Shi Ran looked at the teacher with serious and sharp eyes.
She realized now that he had noticed it a long time ago, and that he probably disagreed with his father that time, just to make her explode.
The words he said were completely a test of her.
"ha!"
She breathed out a sigh of relief, more accurately.
"Teacher, you are right. Everything is as you guessed."
"really."
"However, the career that the teacher discussed with Dad was Dad's own idea. I just suggested that he discuss it with you."
"Why me?"
"Because I know the teacher is very smart, and Dad's idea is a good one, the teacher will definitely be interested."
The teacher took a stool from behind and asked Shi Ran to sit down before asking, "Then why don't you actively demonstrate your abilities?"
"Because I'm just a little kid."
"I heard that Shi Yan and Shi Guang would bully you. If you had let the master pay attention to you, perhaps you wouldn't have encountered such a thing."
"Now is not the time."
"Not the right time?"
Shi Ran lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Because I'm still young, and because my father hasn't shown my abilities to Grandpa yet, if I show off my abilities now and win Grandpa's favor, it will be too eye-catching, and I'm afraid I won't live to adulthood."
The teacher had to admit that what she said made sense.
Shi Ran smiled and extended her hand. "Before that, I want someone trustworthy to be by my side so I can prove my strength at any time. I want others to think I'm a genius, and I want to have an unshakable position. Teacher, will you help me?"
