Chapter 494 She is willing to pay for art
The college students gathered around one after another, and then gradually dispersed. The three remaining girls were bargaining with Marco Bo: "This is too expensive, eighty taels is about right."
"Exactly. Look at this street. There are no clothes this expensive. They're not even this expensive in the shops."
"Yeah, our monthly living expenses are only two or three hundred. You want us to spend eighty on a short-sleeved shirt. That's too much."
"No, ladies, don't just listen to the price. Look at the fabric composition: 92.5% cotton and 7.5% spandex. I'm telling you, this combination of ingredients won't pill or fade. The patterns are all hand-printed and dyed, making it environmentally friendly, safe, and non-irritating."
Marco explained patiently, "Also, look at this gradient pattern. Doesn't it resemble the sunset glow hanging in the sky? This is from my Twilight Collection. Wearing this sunset pattern, I guarantee you'll turn heads when you walk down the street."
"But we can't just focus on turning heads and not eat!"
"Yeah, that's cheaper. We'll take three, forty each."
"Clothes that cost forty yuan are street goods, but mine are not street goods. They are high-quality goods. Forty yuan does not even cover the cost. If I sell them in a shopping mall, I will have to sell them for at least a hundred yuan." Marco Bo has also done research, and his quality will indeed cost more than a hundred yuan in a shopping mall.
“But you don’t sell this in the mall!”
"Your clothes are the most expensive on this street. If it weren't for the softness of the fabric, we would have bargained with you."
"Please, you have to understand art, not just the price. How about this, since you really want it, I'll give you a ten-dollar discount?"
"Seventy is pretty expensive."
"That's right. Let alone seventy, we won't sell it even for sixty. The price is forty. Will you sell it?"
"Oh my god, are you going to cut the price in half?" Marco was surprised. How could you bargain like that?
"Just tell me whether you will sell it or not!"
"We buy value, not art. If you don't sell, we'll leave."
"I really am..." Marco was speechless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sell it, sell it. Consider it a loss but a gain in publicity."
"That's good enough." The three girls paid and left satisfied.
Su Jiaojiao stood not far away, looking at him quietly.
In fact, Marco was not as pretentious as she imagined. At least he dared to try instead of just talking about it.
Apart from anything else, it is rare that he has the courage to set up a stall, as he is not short of money!
Another group of people gathered around, and one of the girls bargained even harder: "Twenty-five each, will you sell it?"
"Yes, yes, twenty-five, let's buy them all." The other girls followed suit.
"No, no, no!" Marco Bo was furious. "You should look at the quality and the artistry of the pattern, not just the price."
He was already furious because he just sold it for forty, and now it’s still twenty-five... He’s dreaming!
"You're such a jerk! You're charging eighty for a short-sleeved shirt like this! Go ask around in the store, they won't sell it as expensive as you do!"
"That's right. When we buy clothes, we look at the price-performance ratio. We are not studying art."
"Yes, art is for appreciation, how can it be sold?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Marco's face turned red with anger.
"Art can be appreciated, but our respect and appreciation for it need to be expressed in a tangible way." Su Jiaojiao made her way through the crowd and stood in front of Marcobo's stall, smiling broadly. "Sir, your Dusk collection is so high-end, practical, romantic, and beautiful. Our mall has already bought it all. Would you be willing to collaborate with us?"
Wow, you bought it all?
The crowd exclaimed.
They all turned around and looked at Su Jiaojiao curiously. Judging from her age and dress, she looked like a college student, but judging from her tone, she didn't seem like one.
Marco Bo was stunned when Su Jiaojiao suddenly appeared in front of him, but he quickly reacted: "Eighty, not a cent less."
"Deal!" Su Jiaojiao agreed happily. "Please send it to Millennium Caicai and Millennium Fufu in Wudaokou. Cash on delivery. Thank you!"
"Okay, I'll send it over right away." Marco looked at the crowd proudly and prepared to pack up his stall.
Then everyone dispersed like birds.
Whispering: "Eighty all-inclusive, how can you buy things like this? This woman doesn't look like a shopper, and she doesn't even bargain.
"That's right, the whole package costs several thousand."
“Hehe, I’m paying for art!”
Su Jiaojiao called Ding Linyu and asked her to take over the goods: "Sell them at the Millennium Fufu store for 80 yuan, and give all the proceeds to Marco Bo."
"Isn't that too easy for him?" Ding Linyu was reluctant. "He pursues art on his own, why should we be the ones to clean up after him?"
"That's settled." Su Jiaojiao didn't say much, "Just ask Xin Yao to keep a good account."
Marco Bo hit a wall in the commercial street and became much more restrained after returning to work.
Although his speech and behavior are still sharp, he no longer insists on artistry. Instead, he goes to the market with Cai Ting and actively assists her in putting several other autumn clothing styles into production.
After all, these autumn clothes are the result of his hard work. He is very concerned about them and wants to prove his worth.
When Chen Guilan learned that Wang Hua was coming to pick her up, she had already started packing at home. In fact, there was nothing much to bring. She was going to live in the imperial capital permanently, so she didn't need to bring too many clothes.
Most of what she brought were local specialties from Jiao County, such as dried sea cucumbers and dried scallops. She divided them into several portions and also prepared one for Wang Hua.
Wang Hua was embarrassed to accept it, so Chen Guilan forced it on him: "It's not easy for you to come from so far away to pick me up."
"I'm on a business trip and came here to give you a ride." Wang Hua chuckled.
"That would be even more tiring. You have to come pick me up when you're on a business trip." Chen Guilan certainly didn't believe it. Whoever drove here on a business trip would obviously do it to help her carry her luggage.
Wang Hua did not stay overnight at the service area and rushed back that day. When the two arrived at Jinyuan, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Su Jiaojiao and Ding Linyu had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them. As soon as Chen Guilan entered the room, Su Jiaojiao gave her a big hug and said happily, "Welcome Mr. Chen to settle in the capital. From now on, I can eat the meals cooked by my mother."
"Mom will make it for you every day from now on..." Chen Guilan looked at her daughter and felt at ease. She came this time and would not leave.
Ding Linyu and Wang Hua smiled at each other.
It’s so nice to have my mother around!
During the meal, Wang Hua told Su Jiaojiao about the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park: "Give me the company's relevant information. I'm busy with approvals these days and need seals and other things."
"I don't have time these days because of classes. If you have anything, please contact Linyu. She has the seal and everything else."
"They're all at home. I'll find them for you later." Ding Linyu glanced at Wang Hua. "If you need me to do anything, just tell me in advance and I'll arrange a time."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Hua agreed happily.
At night, both mother and daughter were sleepless. They chatted about family matters, trivial matters, and their own opinions. The more they talked, the more excited they became.
