“Once the economy is liberalized, the black market will be able to come into the open, and those goods will gradually become less rare. I want to change my approach.”
Li Baichuan got down to business, pulled his wife aside, and earnestly discussed the matter with her.
"You want to sell clothes?" Su Ti was taken aback. She had thought that Bai Chuan would get into real estate and chain supermarkets in the future.
Or perhaps it was related to construction engineering, but I never expected him to want to sell clothes.
"No, the land policy hasn't been released yet, so I can't build factories, houses, or markets right now."
"I thought that compared to other things, clothing was the least risky, the cost was low, and it was easy to transport."
"It was the things my mom brought last time that gave me inspiration. Women love to dress up, and we can make money from those things as long as we are one step ahead of others."
"While everyone is still hesitating after hearing the news, our goods have already flooded the market, and we're sure to make a profit."
"Let's start by doing these things and saving money. When the land policy is relaxed later, we will have the confidence to buy land, build factories and houses, and do what we like."
Li Baichuan told his wife about his plans.
"Actually, I still support you doing this. Clothes are indeed a way to make quick money. Let's go and get a batch of goods first."
"Later on, we can buy our own fabrics and design our own clothes. Otherwise, once someone starts making them, and there are too many people doing it, there will be no market for selling the same things quickly."
"But making clothes yourself costs more, and you have to cooperate with factories. Once the economy is liberalized, those factories will gradually be privatized."
"Baichuan, have you thought about whether selling clothes is just about making quick money, or if you want to expand your business?" Suti actually thought this was also a way out.
She has a natural advantage over others. She has never studied design, but she can draw and she can make clothes.
She could draw those clothes from later generations, modify them, and as long as she stayed ahead of the curve, she would never lack buyers.
"Honey, do you like this?" Li Baichuan felt that his wife was even more excited than he was when she talked about this.
"Me? I'll probably be working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future, I don't have time to worry about these things." Suti couldn't say whether she liked it or not, she liked money more.
She likes any project that can make money.
“Wife, why don’t we give it a try first? If we can make it work, and if we can expand it later, this will be a source of income for us.”
Li Baichuan thought about it and decided it was worth a try. He didn't know when the land privatization policy would be released.
He can't do any of the things he's thinking about. He has time to manage things, but when he runs out of time, he'll find someone else to manage them.
"Okay, then go to Haishi first and see what the current style is like there. Buy more goods and try selling them to see how well the market accepts them."
"While I'm still in school, I can help you manage things. If you want to design clothes yourself later, why don't you find a small factory to work with first?"
"If the factory is privatized later, the policy will probably be released, and we'll buy land, build our own factory, and operate on our own."
Suti made the decision very decisively, mainly because the matter didn't involve much cost.
Whether it can be successful in the future depends on the market; hesitation is not her style.
"Okay, whatever your wife says." Li Baichuan did whatever his wife said without wasting any time.
As soon as his wife returned to school, he immediately arranged for someone to set off.
The first semester was almost over, and Suti didn't make things difficult for the school. She waited until now before she was able to successfully apply for day school.
However, when it was time to leave, the people in the dormitory cried their eyes out, partly because they had been together for a year after all.
Even if there are some minor frictions in the meantime, their relationship gets better and better as they spend more time together, and they really can't bear to part with each other.
Also, the reason their dorm is so comfortable is entirely because Suti is there.
Although they didn't know Suti's background, they were sure the principal was frightened by what happened last time.
I'm afraid that if we assign new people to their dorm, they won't get along well, so we didn't even assign anyone to the dorm next door.
With Suti leaving, new people will definitely come in, and it's uncertain whether they'll be able to get along well with others.
"What's going on? It's not like I'm not coming to school anymore. Even though we're not in the same class, we still see each other every day at lunchtime in the cafeteria."
For once, Suti gave them a genuine smile.
It's quite amazing to think that these people, who initially disliked each other, later got along so harmoniously.
Even though they're not very close now, they'll still meet up for a meal when they bump into each other in the cafeteria.
"Yes, we'll see each other again." As they said this, several people still burst into tears, and Su Ti frantically tried to comfort them.
Putting aside her reluctance, Suti felt much more relaxed back home. Life became more convenient, and she had more time to devote to her studies.
Although she only talked about it, she still seriously made a plan.
She even learned to draw some pictures on her own, and she also audited courses in the school's design department.
She has basic skills, but there is a difference between drawing and painting clothes.
Fortunately, no one can steal what's in your head. Although her design sketches weren't very professional, the clothes she drew were still very beautiful.
"Sutti, do you want to learn tailoring? This pattern is really beautiful. Be sure to wear it for me when you make it."
Cheng Qing and the others were stunned when they saw Su Ti suddenly become very busy these past few days and accidentally saw the drawing she made.
"From your perspective, would you buy clothes like these?" Suti asked, looking at the group with a surprised expression.
"I'll definitely buy it. It's so beautiful. The waist design is quite unique, and the shoulders look like they have shoulder pads, but they're not. Can they even make something like this?"
Cheng Qing was the most knowledgeable among them, and she could tell at a glance that this dress was different from the others.
She has a lot of clothes at home; when she was working, she spent all her salary on clothes and food.
She had all the popular clothes in Beijing, but she had never seen the one Suti painted before, which was very attractive to her.
"Let's talk about it after we make it. I'm not sure yet." Suti didn't boast about things that weren't certain yet.
If the goods they buy later don't sell well in Beijing, or if Baichuan sells other things, that would be fine, but they don't seem to have any talent in clothing.
If things don't work out, there's no point in her saying that her plans are doomed.
Furthermore, the drawing and the actual production of these clothes are two different things, and she's not sure what will happen next. There's so much she needs to learn.
"Okay, once you've finished making it, you must let us see it." Not only was Cheng Qing interested, but Guo Lili and Liu Shiying also looked very curious.
