Qian Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aren't you here to look at clothes?"

Director Niu stared at Qian Qing: "I saw it all."

She came to the fashion fair this time to see if there were any factories willing to make costumes. Beijing City Production Company is going to produce TV series and movies next year. Among them is a large-scale costume TV series, and the clothes needed are very troublesome. Although a special stylist has been found, some clothes and fabrics still need to be produced by clothing factories.

Qian Qing really had no idea about being a star, but since the other party said he was here to look at clothes, this fell within her job scope.

Qian Qing took out a bottle of soda from behind the booth and handed it to the other party, then tried to ask questions in a roundabout way.

Although Director Niu was wearing a lot of makeup, he was a bit carefree. He said directly: "This time I'm here to find a costume supplier, but we have a TV series coming up soon, and we need to find a young woman in her twenties to play the role... Comrade, are you really not considering participating?"

Qian Qing said helplessly: "I really don't think about it... I have a company here, and I'm busy enough on weekdays."

Although Director Niu thinks Qian Qing is a good match, since she has already started a company, it means she is not short of money. Besides, Director Niu knows that TV production doesn’t pay much, and everyone gets a fixed salary, which is only 50 or 60 yuan a month. The fact that she can open a booth at the trade fair shows that she is doing well in her career. Nowadays, everyone is proud to become a 10,000 yuan household. Filming a TV series is hard and tiring, so it is normal for people not to want to do it.

"Okay, but you have an outstanding appearance and are really suitable to be an actor."

It's not just the looks, but also the feeling of the eyes moving around, which makes you look ten times more beautiful on camera.

Qian Qing was very happy to be praised. She then mentioned to the other party the TV series and movies that the production company was about to produce.

“It tells the story of a young girl returning to the city. It should reflect the characteristics of the times, especially the clothing styles. It should be trendy and sophisticated.”

Qian Qing perked up: "Then what do you think of Qingyue's clothes?"

Director Niu looked around and was definitely satisfied. But...

"We have a tight budget..."

Television is still a rare thing in recent years, and the budgets of production companies are pitifully small. How can they allocate funds to purchase large quantities of TV series when they don't even know what the effect will be after they are broadcast?

Qian Qing was calculating in her mind: "How many sets of clothes do you need for the play?"

Director Niu thought for a moment and said, "The heroine will probably need more than a hundred sets, and they must be new models."

Qian Qing quickly calculated: "Not much."

It's not much, but a set of clothes will cost at least 100 yuan, and more than 100 sets will cost 10,000 yuan. Director Niu can't afford this amount of money.

Qian Qing made a prompt decision: "When will your TV series be filmed? When will it be released?"

Director Niu: "We will shoot it in the first half of next year and it should be available during the Chinese New Year."

This production cycle is also the first time that their production studio has tried this. After all, the production cycle of previous TV series was very long. This is the first time to try this kind of subject matter, and the post-production pressure is not that great, so it should be released faster.

Qian Qing made the decision directly: "Can I take a look at the script? If possible, we will provide 100 sets of clothes for the heroine, but we need to add a line of thanks at the end."

This approach had never been done before, and Director Niu found it incredible at first, but then he was ecstatic. How could such a thing as pie in the sky actually happen?

"Really?"

That’s 100 sets of clothes! And the crew also has requirements, it’s not just a matter of randomly coming up with a few sets of clothes.

Qian Qing readily agreed: "One hundred sets of clothes is fine, but as I said just now, I want to see the script. If it's okay, we'll invest again. Of course, I also hope to maintain a long-term relationship with our production company. In the future, as long as there is a suitable drama, we can provide clothes, but there must be a thank you, and the name of our company must be printed in full."

When Qian Qing bought a TV last year, only three or five households in the tube-shaped building of the second factory had a TV. In just a short period of time, dozens of households in the tube-shaped building have already bought a TV.

Although no one bought a color TV, everyone bought a black-and-white TV, which showed that people's lives were getting better and better. And after meeting Lao Ding last month, Qian Qing realized that the entertainment industry might really develop.

Lao Ding opened a dance hall with nothing but two balls of colored light and a recorder that played music. This was enough to attract so many people to buy it. And now I heard that someone opened a TV hall, just like Qian Mu's small shop, with a TV and some benches, charging by the hour, and actually making a good income. It shows that people are now willing to pay for entertainment after life.

The influence of television has gradually increased, and Qian Qing thinks this is an opportunity. As long as she can get in touch with the production company, she may only need to spend this little bit of money every year to get a TV series as a thank you!

You never know which movie will be popular, her clothing styles will be the authentic ones!

Such a request was nothing to Director Niu, who immediately agreed: "I'll ask them to send the script over!"

You can get clothes in exchange for a thank you. Where can you find such a good thing?

After seeing Director Niu off, Ding Jie next to him sighed.

His sister is such a strong woman. She hasn't even sold the property yet and she's already in debt.

Even Wenlan felt that Qian Qing's move was a bit unreliable. Yes, television sets are becoming more and more popular. But what about TV series? None of them are popular! Qian Qing was so reckless. In all likelihood, she would not be able to make back her investment!

Qian Qing thought differently: "I saw someone selling instant noodles with pictures in my mom's grocery store when I went to stock up. Think about it, TV series are just like cartoons. Once they become popular, the effect they bring is more useful than buying a hundred newspaper pages! Especially TV series. Why are there so many new styles in Hong Kong? It's because Hong Kong's TV and movie industry is well developed, and many styles are learned from TV series. We will develop into Hong Kong sooner or later, so we might as well build relationships early. When it becomes popular, we can get the first share of the pie."

Wen Lan smiled helplessly. What else can she say? Just do it. One hundred sets of clothes are not a big expense for Qian Qing, and it is not a big expense. Buying a possibility is also worth it.

Director Niu left his contact information before leaving, and Qian Qing wrote the phone number in her little notebook.

In the afternoon, Wu Pandi and Yang Hua took a short break after lunch and went to the door to attract customers. Qian Qing also distributed brochures at the entrance with Ding Jie.

After the extensive sales promotion in the morning, many customers also visited the market, and the afternoon was the time to place orders.

Just after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, several men who looked like bosses came to the booth. All of them were like Ding Jie who had returned from the south, wearing large and wide suit jackets, shirts of various colors underneath, and the same wide-legged pants. There were quite a few people in the venue, and even though someone was arranged to clean it, there was still a lot of garbage on the ground.

The wide trousers of these men were sweeping on the ground, and Qian Qing's eyelids twitched wildly.

Is this any different from wearing a big broom and sweeping everywhere?

But since he was a guest, Qian Qing still put on a smile and greeted him. The other party thought Ding Jie was the boss and had already handed the business card to him, but he saw Ding Jie took a step back and a very beautiful modern girl came up to greet him with a smile.

Qian Qing pretended not to notice the surprise in the other party's eyes and introduced Qingyue's clothing style to them one by one.

This time, Qian Qing split the order into three factories and made some adjustments based on the different fabrics in stock in the three factories. Generally speaking, there are four series of clothes, and each series uses a special fabric.

The positioning is also different. The most expensive series is the eight models for Mudan Garment Factory. The fabrics used are imported, and there are many small details of long coats, short coats, long-sleeved dresses...

The color is very bright and it feels soft and fine to the touch.

Several customers couldn't help staring at Qian Qing at first, but later they listened carefully purely for the styles of the clothes.

"Our autumn clothes at Qingyue Clothing are made of imported fabrics. You see, these two series of fabrics, one is imported from the United States, and the other is shipped back from Hong Kong Island. Even in the south, there may not be such styles..."

Among the merchants who came, there was a young man with long hair who was delighted: "This one! Lao Wang, do you think this one looks like the one in the movie..."

Qian Qing smiled. She had spent a lot of time and effort on the styles of this batch of clothes. In the past six months, she not only asked Ding Jie to send her pictorials, but also film reviews and trendy movie photos from Hong Kong Island. As long as it was a popular movie or TV series, she would not miss it.

This batch of clothes also incorporates those photogenic clothing styles.

Just like the long coat that the young man just held, Qian Qing designed epaulettes on the shoulders and a belt in the same color in the middle. When she put it on, she immediately had the style of a Japanese movie heroine.

Several customers were very satisfied with Qingyue's clothing styles. They gathered together to discuss it, and finally sent a representative to negotiate.

The man wearing big sunglasses asked Qian Qing: "How much is the wholesale price for this batch of clothes?"

Qian Qing: "These eight styles are a bit more expensive, and the price of each style is different, ranging from 25 to 30 yuan. The other three series are between 20 and 25 yuan. Of course, if you buy a lot, I can give you a 10% discount on the total price of this batch of clothes."

As for what is considered a lot? Qian Qing thought to herself, the total price must be higher than 10,000.

Qian Qing planned to make a quick buck at this trade show. Nothing was more important than cash flow. The purchase price of the entire series of clothes was between 10 and 15 yuan, and a profit of double was enough for her to revitalize the remaining production plan.

The other party frowned and said, "This is too expensive. The clothes from those big factories above don't cost more than twenty yuan."

This is true. When Qian Qing went to see it this morning, the purchase price of most clothes from state-owned factories was around 15 yuan, and there were very few that were higher than 18 yuan. Some were even lower, at less than 10 yuan.

But Qian Qing was not lying at all: "You came to me to ask for the price, and you are definitely not attracted by our low purchase price. Otherwise, there are countless people in this market who purchase at low prices, and you would not have talked to me for so long. Our Qingyue clothes are made of the best workmanship and raw materials, and the cost alone has exceeded the factory price of many state-owned factories. But our advantages are also very obvious. As you can see, we mainly make women's clothing, and we target women in cities with a certain economic ability. For them, the price of clothes is not the primary determining factor, but the quality and style are the most important. You buy at 30 yuan here, and you can sell it for 70 or 80 yuan. You buy clothes from a state-owned factory for more than ten yuan, and you can sell it for more than 30 yuan. You should be able to calculate the difference between the two."

Qian Qing had intended to position Qingyue in the mid- to high-end market from the beginning, but now the first group of people who got rich have gradually risen. The domestic market can fully absorb her Qingyue.

Sure enough, the other party was shaken by Qian Qing's words.

The profit from buying low-priced goods is not much, and although there are risks in buying high-priced goods, I just saw their design, and it is indeed one of the best in this exhibition.

A few people got together to discuss it again, and soon they made up their minds.

"For the eight styles in this series, we want 500 pieces for each style. For the remaining three series, we want 200 pieces for each style."

They all came from the capital of the neighboring province, and they had stalls next to each other in the wholesale market of the neighboring province. This time they came to buy goods, and they planned to buy them together and divide them up slowly after returning.

Qian Qing was overjoyed. With this calculation, this deal would solve her problem of the balance.

"Yes. But we hope that the payment for this batch of goods will be made in cash."

The other party was a partnership of several people, so they readily agreed: "As long as there is spot goods, we can settle the payment directly."

Qian Qing called Wen Lan and Ding Jie over and asked them to take their people to the OEM factory to pick up the goods.

Ding Jie was even more excited than Qian Qing, and happily led his people to leave.

Before leaving, Qian Qing suddenly grabbed Wen Lan and said, "…After you settle the payment for the goods, settle the balance with the three OEM factories."

"Then, place the order..."

Wen Lan was not surprised: "How many orders?"

Qian Qing: "How much money will be left for the remaining goods?"

Wen Lan did some calculations: "This shipment will probably bring in a turnover of several hundred thousand. After deducting the balance, it will be around a hundred thousand."

Qian Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Place the order as a deposit for all of it."

Wen Lan's heart skipped a beat: "...Isn't this too risky?

The boss still owes her elder sister tens of thousands of dollars. Shouldn't he reserve this money first?

Qian Qing remained calm: "Place the order."

The success of this time has made her feel relieved. The time for autumn clothing is tight, and this batch of goods can only be sold for two months at most. She is in the upstream, and the shipment can only be completed in less than a month at most. If she can't seize the time this month, the cost of winter clothing in the next quarter will be higher, and she will still have to worry about the capital.

"When I placed the order, I made it clear that I wanted this batch of clothes to be shipped within two weeks. I don't care whether they work overtime or three shifts in the factory, I must ensure the quality and quantity are guaranteed and the goods are delivered on time."

Wen Lan saw that Qian Qing had made up her mind and could sense the excitement in her heart, so she immediately promised, "Okay, I'll go talk to you."

Qian Qing patted Wen Lan on the shoulder. The work that Wen Lan is currently undertaking has far exceeded the responsibilities of an accountant. The person she is most grateful to right now is Xie Yun. If Xie Yun hadn't introduced her to him, she wouldn't know how many more detours she would have to take.

"When this busy period is over, I will give you a big red envelope."

Wen Landing Jie took people to pick up the goods, but Qian Qing was not idle at all.

The merchants who came to the booth in the afternoon all came with a purpose, which was completely different from the casual look in the morning. Some merchants asked very tricky questions, and if Qian Qing had not prepared in advance, she might have been stumped.

“It can be shipped within two weeks.”

"We can't take care of the transportation."

"Yes, our Sunny Moon is an emerging women's clothing brand. You can take a look at our introduction."

…

After being busy for a while, Qian Qing got two small orders. She borrowed the phone number of the conference venue and arranged for an employee to take people to the OEM factory to meet with Wenlan Ding Jie.

Qian Qing picked up her notebook and saw that once these two small orders were placed, the stock would basically be unavailable. The next customers would have to wait two weeks to get the stock.

Suddenly, Qian Qing caught a glimpse of Wu Pandi leading a fashionably dressed woman towards the booth.

The other person was wearing light makeup and looked to be around thirty years old. She had two large, round pearls on her ears and was holding a black sequined bag in her hand.

Wu Pandi waved to Qian Qing from a distance, her face full of excitement.

This person was the first person she met at the door in the morning when she was selling products. She thought he was just trying to fool her. But in the afternoon, he came to the door to ask her about the situation.

Wu Pandi then hurriedly took the guests to the booth. How could the introduction in the brochure compare to the impact of seeing it with one's own eyes? Besides, Qian Qing was much better at talking than she was. Wu Pandi was afraid that if she didn't say it well, she would drive away the guests she had come to visit.

When the woman saw Qian Qing's outfit, she smiled slightly, then quickly adjusted herself, extended her hand and introduced herself to Qian Qing: "Hello, I am the Hong Kong representative of the Ouhe Group. I came to the trade fair this time by invitation."

Qian Qing exchanged business cards with the other party: "I am the manager of Qingyue Clothing, Qian Qing."

Then she quickly scanned the other party's business card, which said her name was Lily, and other than that there was only the group name and logo.

Qian Qing was unsure of her attitude. The other party seemed to be very important, but he said he was invited. Did he mean he was here to purchase goods?

However, Lily ignored Qian Qing's hesitation and turned to look at Qingyue's clothing styles.

Lily was amazed as she looked around. She originally thought that she came to the trade fair just to make up the numbers, but the result surprised her. Can the current designs in mainland China reach this level?

Qian Qing did not chase after the other party to introduce herself. Lily was different from those merchants. You could tell from her dress that she had her own ideas about fashion.

After a while, Lily finally spoke.

"Which designer in your company designed these clothes? They are excellent and have their own style."

Qian Qing accepted the compliment graciously: "Thank you, I completed it with a lady named Song."

She did not take all the credit on herself, mainly because she still had no idea what the other party was up to.

Lily took a while to digest the thought before looking at Qian Qing in surprise: "Are these all your ideas?"

To be fair, the young boss in front of her was beautiful enough, but people always have some misunderstandings about beautiful women, thinking that they are empty inside. At this moment, Lily's words made Qian Qing feel a little bit unhappy.

"Yes."

Lily quickly adjusted her expression and smiled: "Then you are really excellent."

"I wonder if you would be interested in selling these designs to our company?"
