One month after Qingyu Clothing Store opened.
A Hongfu clothing store opened across the street with great fanfare.
What’s infuriating is that the styles of clothes in his store are exactly the same as those in Qingyu Clothing Store.
This is total plagiarism and piracy!
Li Qingyun had long expected that there would be followers soon, but she didn't expect him to imitate so thoroughly.
But Li Qingyun could do nothing and could only suffer in silence.
Even though piracy has been severely cracked down in later generations, so-called high-quality imitations still emerge one after another, let alone in this era.
There is no way to fight piracy completely. Only by constantly coming up with new designs can we avoid being affected by piracy.
The key point is that on the opening day, this Hongfu clothing store actually held a 20% off sale, which immediately attracted all the customers.
Word spread quickly, and their business became extremely popular.
Qingyu Clothing Store suddenly became deserted.
Bai Yu was so angry that he was fuming and wanted to tear them apart with his bare hands.
Although Li Qingyun was also very angry, she could only consider the overall situation and persuade her not to be angry. After all, they were also running a legitimate business. If they sold like this for a long time, they would not make any money.
But what’s infuriating is that even after the opening event, they still have a constant stream of customers coming to their restaurant.
After Jiang's mother went to see it, she found that their prices were cheaper than Qingyu's.
Almost everything is a few bucks cheaper.
Who can withstand this?
Li Qingyun couldn't sit still anymore.
After some discussion, they decided to clear out all the stock and replace the store with a new batch of styles.
Otherwise, if this continues, all the customers will be snatched away by them.
It just so happens that these styles are basically sold out and there is basically no follow-up.
Since the other party likes to imitate, then it depends on whether he can imitate faster or you can come up with new models faster.
Qingyu Clothing Store soon started a clearance sale as well.
It started at 30% off.
Many old customers have returned.
Hongfu across the street couldn't sit still anymore and also started a 30% discount promotion.
Li Qingyun directly organized a 40% off clearance sale.
Put up a sign.
Clearance sale, while supplies last.
Although it seems that the profit is not much, but because of the small profits but quick turnover, we still make a profit in the end.
The other party thought that they could no longer make money and wanted to clear out their stock and close the store, so they stopped lowering prices, watched from afar, and even laughed at them.
Unexpectedly, after Li Qingyun cleared out most of the previous inventory, she restocked the store with new goods at lightning speed.
Some repeat customers who love beauty came to the store immediately.
Beijing is full of hidden talents and has no shortage of rich people.
Qingyu Clothing Store's business began to flourish again.
The Hongfu Clothing Store across the street couldn't sit still anymore and started another price reduction campaign.
At the same time, he started to pirate products in private.
Li Qingyun has learned to be smarter now, and she has an endless stream of clothing styles in her mind.
They launch ten new models every month, catching their competitors off guard.
The other party was so angry that he secretly made some small moves, wanting to find someone to clean up Qingyu Clothing Store.
I didn't expect to hit a wall.
Bai Yu solved the problem with just one phone call, and the troublemakers were taken away directly by the police.
Those who caused the trouble quickly confessed that the mastermind was the owner of the Hongfu Clothing Store across the street. The owner was taken away and the store was soon closed.
After this incident, Qingyu Clothing Store was able to gain a foothold.
The business of the store was getting better and better, and customers from far away came to buy clothes. This made Li Qingyun think of opening a branch to seize the market.
After discussing with Bai Yu.
They decided to expand the scale, set up a clothing company, run a formal processing factory, and create their own clothing brand.
Produce and sell by yourself.
So Bai Yu asked an acquaintance of hers to come and look after the store.
The two of them started to take care of the branch store.
Jiang's mother still helps with the processing.
After working for a long time, she fell in love with this job and found her own value. Besides, this is also her daughter-in-law's career, so she should help her.
Opening a branch means increasing investment, selecting a location and decorating it, and adding more staff to handle the processing. The store also needs to find suitable sales staff.
In the past six months, Li Qingyun and Bai Yu have divided their money at the end of every month. Before they knew it, the store's turnover has reached an astonishing 380,000 yuan.
After deducting various costs such as materials and labor, there is still a net profit of about 300,000 yuan.
Neither of them had expected to earn so much money on their own, and they were both very motivated.
Of the 300,000 yuan, Li Qingyun and Bai Yu have each received 100,000 yuan. Now there is still 100,000 yuan in the public account as operating funds.
If you have money in your hands, you will not be worried and you will have the confidence to do things.
Since you have decided to grow bigger and stronger, you must be willing to invest.
The two of them divided the work and worked together.
Bai Yu is responsible for the shop and decoration.
This time they decided to buy the house directly and use it as a shop.
Bai Yu had a wide network of contacts and soon bought several houses in various prosperous areas of Beijing.
The decoration was completed very quickly.
Although these houses are in good locations, houses are cheap in this era, and the total cost of all five houses was only 20,000 yuan.
This is the result of her not bargaining.
They also bought the building of the first store. The seller asked for an exorbitant price and deliberately raised it. In order to avoid trouble later, Li Qingyun agreed and paid the money readily.
When Bai Yu finished decorating the house.
Li Qingyun was not idle either.
She first went back to the compound, found a few trustworthy and talkative family members, prepared to train them, and arranged them to work as clerks in various stores.
When the family members heard the monthly salary of 40 yuan she offered, they all expressed their willingness to do it.
As for the processing, she decided to follow the corporate model of later generations.
From a fixed salary to piece-rate wages, the more you work, the more you earn, and the less you work, the less you earn.
Sign high compensation agreements to restrain workers.
The processing workshop is currently still in the second courtyard.
Li Qingyun first recruited a group of young girls who were willing to learn dressmaking as apprentices.
After three days of training, fifteen people were retained based on their performance during the training.
Jiang's mother took charge of everyone, changing her job from processing to management, and her salary increased from 100 yuan to 200 yuan.
Responsible for coordinating styles with Li Qingyun, purchasing raw materials, processing progress and other miscellaneous matters.
Qinghuan, Dani and Erni are the team leaders, each in charge of a team of five people.
The salary increased from fifty yuan to one hundred yuan a month.
But their responsibilities also increased, and they needed to be responsible for the daily work of the five people under them.
Gu's mother is old and she doesn't want to be a manager. She just wants to do some manual labor and earn some money.
Li Qingyun is now responsible for the overall direction.
Bai Yu is still in charge of the store affairs, and all the sales clerks are under her supervision.
The sales staff in the store also have a strict management system. They have to count the number of goods entering and leaving the warehouse every day, record the flow of goods, and report to Bai Yu every day.
Although the work is not easy, the salary is high.
Several people followed suit wholeheartedly.
