Chapter 175 Opening
Chapter 176 Opening
When the sycamore trees on both sides of the road were covered with snowflakes, Qin Xue's studio was finally officially opened.
When the studio had trouble recruiting people at the beginning, Fang Qing worked as both the receptionist and the recruitment officer. With her eloquence and the generous compensation offered by Qin Xue, she finally managed to recruit an experienced engineer named Yang, two recent college graduates, a man and a woman, and a cleaning lady. Only then did the small studio gradually get on track.
But when Fang Qing and his colleagues had assigned their respective tasks and were ready to roll up their sleeves to find business for the studio, the big boss Qin Xue suddenly announced, "Our studio only accepts high-end designs. We don't do low-end designs."
The three were very confused when they heard this. After all, if a newly opened small studio like theirs didn't attract customers quickly, it would soon be squeezed out by its peers.
Fang Qing also tried to persuade him, "Boss, our studio has just opened, and we need to quickly expand the market by taking orders and at the same time increase our popularity. If we limit the level from the beginning..."
But Qin Xue dropped her chin, "My studio is different from others. If they want to choose a cheaper one, let them take it. My studio is to ensure quality, so the price cannot be low. You guys should listen carefully. We will never accept a design that does not pay a high price."
With the boss's order, Fang Qing and the other three did not dare to take other tasks on their own. However, seeing that several good orders had slipped away, Brother Yang and the two students seemed a little impatient.
After enduring for a month, one morning, a luxurious sports car stopped at the door of the studio.
Bai Xiaofeng, wearing a flashy suit and shiny leather shoes, walked slowly into the studio with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Is anyone here? Who is in charge here?"
Bai Xiaofeng entered the room, looked around, then walked straight to the boss chair inside, sat down, and propped his legs up on the table very impolitely.
Fang Qing and his companions followed him in. Bai Xiaofeng looked around with some disdain, "Isn't your studio too shabby? And are you the only ones in such a big place?"
As the main designer of the studio, Brother Yang had many experiences in dealing with clients before. As soon as Bai Xiaofeng walked in, he knew that this person would not be easy to deal with. He turned his head and gave the female student a look, asking her to pour him a cup of coffee.
The female student respectfully placed the coffee on the desk, and Brother Yang then spoke, "Sir, I believe you know our studio. So what kind of design do you need this time? Why don't you have a cup of coffee first and we can talk slowly."
The coffee on the table was emitting a fragrant aroma. Although Bai Xiaofeng disliked the small size of the studio, the coffee tasted very pure. "Wow, I didn't expect that you guys make such good coffee."
Seeing Bai Xiaofeng picked up the coffee without resistance and tasted it slowly, Brother Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking two sips of coffee, Bai Xiaofeng felt bored and stood up to walk around the studio. He looked here and there, but fortunately Brother Yang was very patient and accompanied him around. When Fang Qing thought that the deal might be in jeopardy, Bai Xiaofeng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll choose your company."
The first business came just like that.
Bai Xiaofeng just came back from studying abroad. No one knows how much knowledge he has learned during his three years abroad, but he has mastered a lot of eating, drinking and having fun.
Now that he has graduated and returned, he sees that the domestic entertainment industry is still very backward. He wants to do business in this area, but his family despises this kind of business. Driven by rebelliousness, Bai Xiaofeng simply gives up and decides to open his own store using the money he saved and the pocket money his mother gives him.
But he was at a loss as to what kind of store to open.
He wanted to open a car dealership, specializing in modified cars, but there were already people doing this in the industry, and he couldn't compete with his brothers for business; he wanted to open a nightclub, but his father said he was uneducated and only made these things that were not presentable; finally, he wanted to open a jewelry store, but the money he had was not enough to even buy goods...
After thinking it over, Bai Xiaofeng still hadn't made up his mind, until a few days ago when he was drinking with some friends, someone said that Qin Xue, the jewel in the Qin family's crown, had condescended to open a studio in a remote corner!
Although these people were curious, they did not dare to cause trouble. After all, not to mention that they could not handle Qin Xue's temper, they also did not dare to provoke the group of brothers behind her who were protective of their children.
But Bai Xiaofeng was interested. It wasn't that he had any feelings towards Qin Xue, but the two of them had never gotten along since they were young, fighting whenever they met. Now that they were older, they wouldn't fight, but if there was a chance to make Qin Xue unhappy, Bai Xiaofeng was very happy to try, and that was why his family was afraid that he would get into trouble, so they hurriedly sent him abroad a few years ago.
Hearing his friend's words, Bai Xiaofeng rubbed his chin and laughed, "Qin Xue actually does such a thankless business? That's interesting. I'd like to go and see what she's up to!"
Just like that, Bai Xiaofeng appeared on the stage dressed very flashily.
But when Yang Lin asked him what kind of store he wanted to design, Bai Xiaofeng crossed his legs and hummed a song, "Ah... well, I don't know, whatever, I'll open whatever you design."
Everyone present was stunned. What does that mean? This is the first time I have seen someone who doesn't even know what kind of store he is opening. Isn't he here to mess things up?
Yang Lin suppressed his anger and patiently discussed with Bai Xiaofeng, "Sir, you are really humorous. However, if you want us to design it, you must have a general idea, right?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaofeng, who had been so casual just now, suddenly opened his eyes. The fierceness in those peach blossom eyes made Yang Lin feel a chill on his back.
"If you can't even do this, then why do you still have a store? In my opinion, you should just smash it up, close it down and go home!"
Seeing that Bai Xiaofeng's face was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Yang Lin quickly apologized and comforted him, and the two students were so scared that they dared not say a word.
Although Fang Qing was a little frightened by the other party's attitude, when she thought of Qin Xue's trust in her and the hard work they both put into this studio, she said she would never let this first business deal fail.
Fang Qing took a deep breath, clasped his somewhat nervous hands together, and slowly stood in front of Bai Xiaofeng.
"Sir, it's not difficult for us to design, but if you want to open a store and you don't like it yourself, it will also affect the future operation. So, I would like to ask you to play a game with us so that we can understand your preferences. Do you think it's okay?"
Playing games? Bai Xiaofeng was surprised. He then squinted his eyes at the old-fashioned woman in front of him and asked, "What game?"
