"Really? What makes you think things will improve this afternoon?" Ji Xia turned around, puzzled.
"Because this is a wedding dress."
Chen Jing put away the report and smiled mysteriously: "There are girls who can truly make decisions on their own, but there aren't many of them."
"Most girls will still invite their partners to discuss and make decisions when buying their wedding dress."
This morning, most of the customers who came into the store were girls. Many of them hesitated for a long time, but in the end, they talked to the sales clerk and asked her to leave a certain style for them to bring their boyfriends back another day.
It's impossible to keep a wedding dress unless a deposit is left. Today, we received six hundred yuan in deposits for six wedding dresses.
So, once today is over and there are fewer customers on another day, many customers will definitely come back with their partners to choose their favorite wedding dresses.
"However, it is true that only the last two or three months of the year are the peak season for weddings. Most people choose to get married at the end of the year."
After Chen Jing's analysis, the people at the table couldn't help but nod in agreement. If anyone was the best at understanding people's hearts and customers' needs, it was Chen Jing.
Xie An and the others were completely convinced and patted Chen Jing on the shoulder: "We are convinced by what you said. Come on, to celebrate the opening of the new store today, I specially brought a few pounds of red wine. Let's have a good drink later."
As he spoke, he took out several bottles of red wine from the bag behind him and placed them on the table.
"Your red wine? Come to think of it, I haven't tasted your red wine yet!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing laughed heartily, took the red wine Xie An offered, shook the bottle, and admired the ruby-like liquid inside.
"It looks good, but Brother An is so disloyal! This wine was brewed a long time ago, wasn't it? Why didn't you offer us any to try?"
Last time, when they helped brew wine, they brewed a full thirty or forty catties. More than a month has passed since they returned from the south, and he hasn't mentioned it once.
Jiang Yizhi laughed upon hearing this: "You mean the dozens of catties of wine brewed last time? It's all gone by now, okay? You have no idea how many uncles, brothers, and relatives they have. They give two or three catties here and a few bottles there. We only tasted it for a while."
"So, this wine was brewed by you later?"
"Yes, after we finished distributing the last batch, we brewed another batch, and the color of this batch is actually better than the last one."
Several men started discussing cigarettes and alcohol, chatting and laughing.
Rong Ruoshi smiled at Ji Xia and Jiang Qingci and said, "You two can brew wine? That's amazing! You're truly multi-talented!"
Jiang Qingci pointed at Ji Xia: "I heard she taught you. If you want to learn, you can ask her for advice."
Ji Xia shrugged: "Actually, this kind of fruit wine is very simple. You can try it anytime you want. As long as you have money, just buy more grapes and sugar."
Chen Jing smiled and handed over a menu: "We haven't ordered yet. Here, ladies first. Order whatever you like. It's on me today."
"Big bosses who make a lot of money are different."
Jiang Qingci smiled and praised, then handed the menu between Rong Ruoshi and Liu Yujuan: "Come on, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you like, Boss Chen is rich!"
Liu Yujuan smiled shyly and handed the menu to Rong Ruoshi: "I'm not familiar with these, you guys order!"
She turned around and whispered in Ji Xia's ear: "Were all the clothes you wore today designed by you?"
Liu Yujuan remained silent for most of the day, feeling frustrated and downcast. She looked through all the styles in the shop and realized that none of them were her designs.
In total, Ji Xia had collected more than a dozen design drafts from her, earning more than 300 yuan.
She knew all along that her design drafts had been sold to Chen Jing, but none of her designs ever made it to Chen Jing's shop.
What does this mean? It means that her designs were completely ignored by others, and she suspects that the money Ji Xia gave her was Ji Xia's own money given out of pity.
Looking at the exquisite or elegant wedding dresses in the store, and comparing them to her own designs, she realized the difference in quality was too great, which made her even more frustrated.
Ji Xia nodded upon hearing this: "They are mine, but some of the designs were created last year, since they are all intended for the wedding."
She looked at Liu Yujuan's dejected face: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell because you walked too much today?"
Liu Yujuan shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I'm just feeling a bit emotional. Your abilities are far superior to mine."
"Where? You're amazing too. You've only been studying design for less than a semester, and you're still learning the basics, but you already know how to design."
Liu Yujuan's face darkened slightly upon hearing this: "What's so great about it? I looked at them today, and none of them were designed by me. The design fee of over three hundred yuan that you gave me before, you paid for it yourself, right? You don't need to pay me anymore. I'll find a way to pay you back."
Ji Xia was taken aback: "Give me back the money? Why would you give me back the money? That was your design fee."
"Don't try to fool me. You didn't even like my design. You're just making excuses to get me to pay a design fee, aren't you?"
Before Liu Yujuan could say anything more, Ji Xia grabbed her arm and explained in a low voice, "What are you thinking? I sent your design drafts to Jiangnan. My second brother lives there, and your designs are perfect for that area."
"As for the capital, most of them are mine, and a small part are designs from a few senior students. However, the dresses made by that shop today are not made by them at all, so I had to put them on myself."
Liu Yujuan didn't pay attention to anything else, only remembering what she wanted to hear: "Are you serious? My design wasn't rejected? A clothing factory wants it?"
“Of course, my second brother has a garment factory in Jiangnan with over 300 employees. Yours, and several senior female employees on the second floor, and also, the thin designs you guys designed are no longer suitable for Beijing, so I sent them to Guangdong. Chen Jing has a brother at the Huacheng Garment Factory, they need them…”
After comforting Ji Xia, Liu Yujuan's mood, which had been gloomy for half a day, finally brightened, and a smile appeared on her face.
Just as Chen Jing had predicted, Zhongqing Clothing saw fewer customers in the afternoon than in the morning, but its sales volume was higher.
Many girls bring their boyfriends or best friends with them when they go home, and after consulting with their friends and boyfriends, they buy their dream wedding dress.
Even families with low incomes are willing to buy a relatively inexpensive wedding dress. And the wedding dress from Zhonghua Clothing, even if it's a cheap style, is still more beautiful than the styles bought from Beijing Department Store or Friendship Store.
This situation continued for a week. There were indeed many brides-to-be at the end of the year, and the newly opened shops were amazing. Customers in Beijing also had higher incomes than those in other cities. For a whole week, the sales volume remained strong, with a turnover of around 20,000 yuan almost every day.
As a result, even with Hou Xiaolian and her team working overtime every day, they still couldn't keep up with the shipping speed.
At this time, Xie An and Xie Xun finished their revised plan and came to us.
