Li Dongyun said he was going out soon to get a batch of stones and needed to use one or two of Yun Zhifeng's warehouses. The two were discussing it.
As soon as she saw Yun Duoduo arrive, Li Dongyun immediately smiled and called out, "Duoduo..."
Remembering Li Dongyun's talk about buying a shop earlier today, she asked, "Auntie, have you found a shop yet?"
Li Dongyun nodded. "I've found it. It's right at the street corner, next to the shop Haotian was looking at. There are two shops connected together. All we need to do is connect the two shops. The owner said he was going to do business in the south and was willing to sell, so I bought it for him. The two shops cost 15,000 yuan."
Yun Duoduo knew very well that the warehouse that Li Haotian had helped Li Yunfeng look at was in the best location on the entire street, so Li Dongyun's shop must also be in a good location.
She smiled and nodded, "The shop is in a great location, and the price isn't too expensive."
Li Dongyun was also very satisfied. She patted Li Yunfeng on the head and said with a smile, "Your second brother may seem unreliable at times, but he's actually quite trustworthy when it comes to getting things done. He said it was good, so I just bought it for him."
Li Yunfeng glared at Li Dongyun and deliberately called out, "Auntie, don't mess up my hairstyle, I still have to meet people."
"Forget it, what kind of people would you meet? You don't even have a wife, no one would want to see you." After saying that, Li Dongyun smiled and said to Yun Duoduo.
"Yes, mainly because the two shops are connected together. The back can be used for living or as my studio, which is very convenient. That's what I'm interested in."
Li Dongyun said that the shop didn't need much decoration; all they needed to do was buy some furniture and put it inside.
As for the studio's belongings, she can just move them over.
According to her plan, the shop can open for business on an auspicious day in the next few days.
Speaking of opening a shop, Li Dongyun remembered something and said to Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, the colors of those scarves you gave me last time were really nice. Can you get me a batch? When my shop opens, I'll put them in the shop and give them to my regular customers. Once they're ready, just give me the bill."
Those scarves weren't cheap for the average person, but Li Dongyun's shop sold expensive items, so they were used as free gifts, but they were still presentable.
Yun Duoduo nodded, "Okay, you can go to the factory and choose the colors yourself later. Just take as many as you want, no need to pay."
But Li Dongyun insisted, "Fine, relatives are relatives, business is business. You sell it for whatever price you want, and that's how much you charge me."
After saying that, Li Dongyun stared at Yun Duoduo's new cotton coat, looking very interested. "Also, where did you buy this cotton coat? It's really nice, and the long style is warm. I've never seen a cotton coat like this before."
Yun Duoduo's cotton-padded coat was actually made of cotton, with ordinary cotton cloth on the outside.
However, Yun Duoduo's design is quite trendy, featuring a mid-length style that generally reaches above the knee. It has a hood at the back and no waist cinching, making it casual, comfortable, and stylish.
The main reason is that it is very different from the styles of clothing at that time.
At that time, there was only one style of cotton-padded clothing: a blue, coarse cotton-padded coat that was very loose and had absolutely no smell.
Yun Duoduo looked down at the clothes she was wearing and said with a smile, "I made these myself. They're fun to wear, and I just feel that it's getting cold, so long clothes are more comfortable."
"You can make these clothes yourself?" Li Yunfeng was quite interested when he heard Yun Duoduo say that.
Yun Duoduo nodded, "Of course you can."
Without much hesitation, Li Yunfeng immediately pointed to the clothes she was wearing, "Then hurry up, make several more in the same style as you, and sell them at my market. I guarantee you can earn back at least two more courtyards before the New Year."
At this point, Li Yunfeng also seriously discussed with Yun Duoduo, "Although your factory's scarves have always sold well, you also know that the recent goods are not selling as well as they were in the first half month. They will get tired of the same thing sooner or later."
"Once someone else comes up with a new product, it will steal the spotlight from yours."
Upon hearing this, Li Haotian chimed in, "That's right. I've recently noticed that some merchants have stopped buying scarves from us. They've found people to make them for them. Even if they only make a few dozen a day, they can still make money."
"Although the materials may not be as good as ours, many people who can afford these things are just looking for something new. If the colors and styles look similar, they would rather buy the cheaper ones."
Li Yunfeng also noticed this and felt that they needed to make changes, so he continued to tell Yun Duoduo, "In the clothing business, you must constantly innovate and keep people looking forward to it so that the business can grow bigger and bigger."
Li Yunfeng could see the potential of Yun Duoduo's factory, and he also knew that the ready-made garment business would experience a boom in recent years.
Before this, whether in Kyoto or other places, most people would buy fabric from the supply and marketing cooperatives and then find a tailor to make their clothes.
The downside is that the styles are all similar, and the waiting time is long.
Generally speaking, if you take the fabric to a tailor shop to make a cotton-padded coat, a fast tailor will need about a week to finish it.
Because those tailors don't just make clothes for one person; many people need clothes made for them during the Lunar New Year, so they don't worry about not having business and they're not in a hurry.
If it's slower, it will probably take half a month.
If we keep waiting like this, we might not even have new clothes to wear for the New Year.
But ready-made garments are different. They have a wide variety of materials, styles, and are available quickly. If you like something and the price is right, you can just buy it.
The important thing is that you can try on clothes on the spot, buy the ones that suit you, and not buy the ones that don't.
Unlike finished clothes, which may fit perfectly but not necessarily suit everyone's style.
Li Yunfeng has traveled to many places and knows that people in the south have already started selling ready-made clothes, so he supports Yun Duoduo in expanding the factory and diversifying its business.
With Yun Duoduo's designs and his help with sales, they're sure to become the largest garment factory in Kyoto.
Actually, even without Li Yunfeng saying it, Yun Duoduo thought the same thing.
She had considered making and selling the clothes she was wearing, but hesitated because the cost wouldn't be too high.
The cost of a single garment is more than ten yuan.
Then, taking into account labor costs and profit, it needs to sell for at least 20 yuan or more.
Even if a piece of clothing costs 20 yuan, that's almost half a month's salary for an average person, and she's worried it won't sell well.
But Li Yunfeng was very confident. "Don't worry, there will always be people who can afford it. Your factory can make the new clothes, and I'll sell them for you."
