Chapter 244
Ten days later, Ye Jiayin received the design drawings from her cousin. At the same time, her cousin who was far away in Beijing also received a complete set of expensive painting supplies from her.
The reason for not accepting money from Uncle Si was that the proposal was intended as a return gift for the silk scarf, and the reason for giving painting supplies to cousin was because of the principle of reciprocity. In this way, all three parties were satisfied. When it comes to being "thoughtful", children from large families are still very particular.
Su Miao and Ye Jiayin went to the tailor shop together and saw quite a few people there.
Uncle Si saw them and called out, "Miaomiao, Jiayin, come quickly. We're interviewing fashion models today. Come and help me pick them."
Because Uncle Si's plan is to design clothing for multiple types and age groups, the models who came for the interview today include both men and women, young and old.
Those who came today have already passed the preliminary selection. Today is the re-examination. If you pass, you can sign the contract.
Uncle Si asked them to put on sample clothes, walk like the models on TV, and also let them freely pose in many different ways for photos.
The main thing is to see whether their image meets the requirements, whether their temperament is natural, and whether they are bold enough.
After a period of screening, one man and one woman were selected from each of the three groups: children's clothing, teenagers' clothing and adult clothing. The rest of the unsuccessful ones were not allowed to come in vain, and each of them took home ten eggs.
The selected Ah Sibo signed a contract with them directly. The fee for taking photos of a set of clothes was 20 yuan, with no limit on the number of photos. The photos were only used for in-store business promotion.
The contract period is one year, and the store is guaranteed to have more than 20 sets of clothing photographed in a year. During the contract period, the model cannot do business promotion for other businesses, otherwise she will have to compensate Uncle Si three hundred yuan.
After signing the contract, most of the applicants left, but a family of three was still waiting. They were a pair of parents and their daughter who came to apply for the modeling position.
After everyone had left, the parents came up with their daughter and said with a flattering smile, "Uncle Si, please take good care of us from now on. If you need any photos, just call us. We're always on standby."
Uncle Si responded, "Don't worry, I'll choose a weekend time, so it won't affect the children's schoolwork."
"It's okay, it's okay! We can do it anytime. It's not difficult to ask for leave from school. Anyway, we don't expect her to really get into college. Zhenzhen, quickly tell Uncle Si that you will show your clothes well and become a professional model!"
Ever since her parents started talking to Uncle Si, Zhenzhen's eyes had been darting back and forth between Su Miao and Ye Jiayin. She retracted her gaze and said to Uncle Si, "Uncle Si, don't worry. They've all said since I was little that I can find the camera and look great on camera. I'm sure I can show off your clothes well. Excuse me, are these two students also applying to be models for the junior group?"
Su Miao got goosebumps from the force of her voice.
Uncle Si said, "The two of them? No, they are my two neighbors. Now they are our creative partners. They have helped me come up with many ideas. I originally wanted to ask them to be models, but they don't like to be in the spotlight, so I hired you instead."
Hearing that the two of them could be models but didn't want to, the three of them looked at them with contempt, looking at them as fools. Then Zhenzhen said, "Uncle Si, I am quite confident and generous. I am not afraid of being on camera. I hope I can have more photo opportunities in the future."
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, as long as my store's business develops smoothly, I will definitely keep launching new products. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to show off your skills."
The family of three got the promise and left contentedly. Uncle Si shook his head and said, "You are young and impetuous."
The eldest disciple asked, "Master, you thought she was impetuous, but still hired her?"
"She can be as frivolous as she wants. She has a good image and is very relaxed. As long as her family cooperates and makes sure that our clothes complement each other well, that's all that's fine."
Uncle Si invited Su Miao and Ye Jiayin to sit in, and then discussed with them about selecting the trademark.
Because Uncle Si's real name contains the word "Yue", Su Miao shared his thoughts when naming the brand.
Wu Yue is different from the previous idea of caring about worldly views. What I like is that I dress myself only to make myself happy, not to please anyone.
This "wu" can be used by both men and women, and it further highlights the spirit of people in the new era to pursue freedom and independence.
As soon as the idea was proposed, it was immediately approved by Uncle Si and Ye Jiayin, and the trademark was designed around it.
The trademark they finally decided to use was golden in color, with the word "Wu" highlighted. The word "Yue" in the lower right corner was designed to resemble a ribbon, highlighting their main business.
"My two friends, thanks to your great help, we will have new designs in the future. I was not kidding when I said you are my creative partners!
When we release new styles in the future, we'll give each of you a set. Now we'll give you girls' clothes, and in a few years we'll give you adult clothes. When you're getting married, remember to tell Uncle Si, and I'll make you a complete set of wedding gowns by hand!"
Su Miao smiled and said, "Uncle Si, you are really thinking long-term. Wouldn't it mean that we will take advantage of you for many years?"
"What's the big deal? If you have any ideas for clothing in the future, just tell Uncle Si. No matter how weird or outlandish they are, I can handle them."
"Okay! Uncle Si, let's have a happy cooperation from now on!"
"Great, great! Happy cooperation!"
After the two men left Uncle Si's yard, they went straight back to their small yard to cut papayas.
I don’t know what happened these days, but the order volume for shredded papaya has increased suddenly, and the ones I made before are not enough to sell.
Many customers wanted ten or even dozens of bottles, and would rather pay a deposit and wait in line for the goods, just to buy her papaya shreds. Then Su Miao asked the customers and found out the reason.
It turned out that Fengshou Food Factory boosted the sales of shredded papaya, but the taste was not up to par. Some diners who had eaten Su Ji shredded papaya spontaneously recommended her restaurant.
After Fengshou Food Factory reduced the price of papaya shreds by one cent, sales picked up for two days, and then declined again.
Because the retailers’ customers don’t buy it! Who wants to settle for less after having tasted good food?
No matter how much you lower the purchase price, it’s all zero if you can’t sell it!
So everyone flocked to Su Ji to buy shredded papaya. Even Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu joined the production team, and Su Ji's name was completely established.
The Fengshou Food Factory spent a lot of money and effort to promote "Su Ji" in reverse, but it paid the cost but got no thanks. The boss looked at the income and expenditure statement, decisively cut the loss, and stopped the papaya shreds business.
Because of this incident, Manager Zheng’s voice in the factory was far less than before, and he was gradually replaced by other sales elites who were trained.
