Now, Gu Xi, a big shot, has actually taken the initiative to add him as a friend, saying he wants to customize clothes. Whether or not this matter comes to fruition today, he feels he can talk about it for a month.
Gu Xi waited in vain for a reply, so she sent another "?". Liu Zhengzhi, who received the message, quickly replied.
Liu Zhengzhi: Yes, yes, I can do it, but how do I make the transaction?
Liu Zhengzhi felt a little uneasy. This was undoubtedly a very good business opportunity, but unfortunately, he was short of money and couldn't afford to buy more high-quality materials. Now that Sister Xi had directly asked him to customize something, it must be because she wasn't satisfied with the items on his trading platform. But this was already his best product, and it was a real pity to miss this opportunity.
Gu Xi: Are all warm clothes made of leather? What's the best material you can offer?
Liu Zhengzhi was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly told Gu Xi about his situation.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Liu Zhengzhi grew increasingly uneasy. After several minutes, Gu Xi finally replied.
Gu Xi: How much material is needed to make a garment?
Liu Zhengzhi quickly replied: 50 units are needed for warmth retention, and leather material is the best.
Gu Xi: Come to my trading spot. 10 silver coins. I'll list 50 pieces of Shark Steel Leather. Let's make this clear first, this isn't me selling it to you for 10 silver coins. It's a deposit for the materials you give me. Once the clothes are finished, I'll give you 50 silver coins. If you think it's a good deal, then we can trade.
Liu Zhengzhi didn't know what sharkskin was, let alone its value. He now had two choices: buy it to make clothes, or give up the deal and leave. After all, 10 silver coins was not a small amount for him.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to trust Gu Xi's character and spent 10 silver coins to buy 50 pieces of shark steel skin.
Once he buys the materials, it means he's agreed to the deal. What if he runs off with the materials halfway through...?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhengzhi quickly shook his head. He dared not do that, after all, who was Gu Xi? Besides, he had finally acquired a skill, and he would rely on it to make a living in the future. He definitely couldn't do something that would ruin his reputation.
Upon receiving the materials, Liu Zhengzhi quickly began making clothes.
Half an hour had passed by the time Gu Xi received Liu Zhengzhi's clothes again.
Clothes made with better materials have indeed improved their warmth retention significantly. Previously, the clothes Liu Zhengzhi sold on the trading post, though only costing 2 silver coins, only had a warmth retention of 5. Now, with the material changed to sharkskin, the warmth retention has increased to 20.
Looking at the current data, Gu Xi was slightly more satisfied. She then transferred the agreed-upon amount to Liu Zhengzhi.
Upon receiving his payment, Liu Zhengzhi exclaimed with emotion that he never expected custom-made clothes to be so profitable; it seemed he had discovered a new way to make a living.
Now he is even more determined to manage his business well and maintain his reputation.
Just when he thought the deal with Gu Xi was over, Gu Xi sent another message, saying she wanted to order some more clothes.
After their first collaboration, their subsequent partnerships went much more smoothly. Finally, before dinner, Liu Zhengzhi delivered all the goods.
The matter of dealing with the freezing weather had just been resolved when, on the other hand, Xu Lulu's first batch of materials was completed. Following this, Gu Xi, after receiving Xu Lulu's materials, immediately sent over the second batch of raw materials.
It was late today, and the wind was cold and strong outside, so she planned to get up early tomorrow morning to start modifying the new ship. However, when the new day arrived, everything outside had changed drastically. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
