Li Qingyun wanted to make her first fortune in the clothing business.
With the changes and development of society, people's aesthetic tastes are getting better and better, and their demand for clothing is also increasing.
Everyone loves beauty.
Li Qingyun has always had a good aesthetic sense because of her perspective as a later generation.
Most of her clothes are made by herself. They are simple, elegant and fashionable. They look very attractive on her and never go out of style.
Bai Yu and Fan Xiaodan had both asked her to help design clothes before.
Even Jiang's mother, who had seen the world, said that she had a unique vision.
With such innate advantages, she is able to thrive in the clothing business.
Bai Yu also agreed with her advantage. With good vision and design, she basically made up half of the business.
So she agreed readily.
Out of fairness and courtesy, Li Qingyun also asked Fan Xiaodan if he wanted to invest.
Fan Xiaodan refused. She understood that Li Qingyun just wanted to take her with her and she could not help at all in this matter.
So she'd better not get involved.
Li Qingyun also knew her concerns and said that she would notify her if there was a project suitable for her in the future.
To do clothing business, you first need to survey the market, arrange storefronts and raw material supply, etc.
Then make a batch of ready-made clothes to test the waters.
Nowadays, many clothing supplies in department stores are wholesaled from Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
But Li Qingyun didn't want to go wholesale, she wanted to use her own designs.
She is already well-versed in the popular elements on the market. Thanks to the flourishing of clothing in later generations, she is able to design various styles.
Although it is troublesome to do it yourself, it saves the time of traveling back and forth from Beijing to Fujian every quarter and selecting products.
Moreover, self-processing can save a lot of costs, and the shipment quantity can be determined according to sales to avoid inventory pressure.
The only thing to decide is the raw materials.
You can just find a supplier in Beijing.
If it really doesn't work, go to Guangdong Province to solve the raw material supply problem at one time.
Start with small steps in the early stages to get things done, and then make additional investments depending on the situation in the later stages.
The two of them each put out 1,000 yuan as initial investment.
With a common cause, they divided the work and started working together.
Bai Yu has a wide network of contacts and is very unconventional.
He was responsible for finding a suitable storefront to rent, supervising the workers, and doing simple decoration according to Li Qingyun's design.
Li Qingyun was responsible for buying sewing machines, ordering raw materials, finding tailors, drawing design drawings, and supervising the workers to make a batch of summer clothes for trial.
Because the initial investment was small, Li Qingyun decided to buy two sewing machines first.
The sewing machine was in place and the design drawings were being prepared, but it was the tailoring that stumped Li Qingyun.
She was not afraid of having her skills stolen, but the tailors in Beijing were all very ambitious. When they heard that she was a self-employed person with no guaranteed income, no one was willing to work for her.
The only tailor willing to come and do the job was the one who wanted to secretly come after get off work to earn some extra money.
She offered huge sums of money but still couldn't hire anyone.
Nowadays, people think it is shameful to be an individual and no one wants to lose their iron rice bowl.
So she could only consider housewives who knew how to make clothes.
It was Bai Yu who reminded her: "Didn't you say your second sister is very skillful? I see that every New Year she makes very good clothes for your daughter San San.
Since we can’t find a professional tailor right now, why not ask your second sister to come and try.”
This instantly gave Li Qingyun a new idea.
Yes, it’s better to keep the wealth within the family. They are all half-baked anyway, so it’s better to give it to your own sisters.
I just don’t know if she is willing to come, as she has two children at home.
So she sent a telegram to Qinghuan that day, explaining the situation in general and hoping that she would come to Beijing.
Qinghuan knew that her sister had an opportunity to make money, so she agreed without even thinking about it.
She wants to make money!
She used to envy her sister when she talked about life in Beijing, but due to financial constraints, now that she finally has the chance, she wants to go to Beijing even if it means crawling to see it.
As the two children grow up day by day, we must always create better conditions for them. If they spend their whole lives digging for food in the fields, they will not have much future.
Their generation grew up in poverty and hardship, and their children cannot suffer from the same hardship and poverty.
Before leaving, she followed her sister's instructions and called her third sister Qingyue, asking her if she would like to go to Beijing to start a business with her sister.
When Qingyue heard that the job was to be a tailor, she refused.
My second sister is very skillful.
It's okay for her to be a tailor, but she knows her own worth very well. It's better for her not to cause too much trouble for her sister.
So Qinghuan set off for Beijing with a simple bag.
The couple was reluctant to part with each other. From their marriage to now, more than ten years have passed, they have never been separated.
He left his son and daughter to Cheng Huaishan to take care of.
She swore that she would make a name for herself in Beijing this time, and it would be best if she could bring her man and children to live with her.
Qinghuan arrived in Beijing.
Li Qingyun settled her in her own home and prepared daily necessities for her. The two sisters could only see each other during the Chinese New Year every year, and now they are very different from each other.
Li Qinghuan yearned for the prosperity of Beijing, and she was even more envious of her sister's big house.
From then on, she told herself that she would not return to her hometown until she made a name for herself.
She wants to use her own hands to build a different world for her children, so that they can see a brighter world.
Li Qingyun told her about the preparations for her clothing store and let her decide whether to stay. If she was willing, she would pay her a salary, tentatively set at 50 yuan a month. If the business was profitable later, she would increase her salary.
