Yi Qingqing felt that Li Mengxue's idea of ​​sharing the profits from the design drawings was better than hers.

"When it comes to making clothes, when the scale is small in the early stages, we certainly can't hire people to make clothes. We still have to do it ourselves, right? Qingqing doesn't want to spend too much time on this, so I can help with the early production. Besides, I studied accounting, so I can do the accounting," Qian Lailai quickly found his position.

This idea coincided with Li Mengxue's: "You will be in charge of finance later, and we will need your help in making clothes in the initial stage.

Our advantage is that we can design clothes ourselves. Qingqing can design, and so can I, so we must make and sell them ourselves.

At the beginning, you can do a little stall selling. If the stall sales are good, you can open a store and start a small workshop to make clothes. If the store does well, we can expand the scale and open branches in different places. The small workshop will become a garment factory, and we will expand step by step in this way, and finally become a household name.

So at least in the initial stage we will not hire anyone, we have to wait for good response and see the return of money. Among us, only you and Qingqing can make clothes, so in the initial stage, we will definitely rely on you. "

"???" Yi Qingqing, the hands-off shopkeeper, was not happy: "I also want to participate in making clothes in the initial stage?"

Li Mengxue nodded: "Not only you, Lingling and I also need to learn to help, otherwise how can we make so many clothes by ourselves?"

Yi Qingqing disagreed with this: "When we start selling clothes, we have to prepare to hire people. Not only do we have to hire people to make clothes, but we also have to hire people to sell clothes. We are only sophomores. Unless we open the business after graduation, none of us has that much time to watch it every day. At most, we can only come on Sundays. We can't set up a stall that is only open on Sundays, right? Then there is no point in us preparing in advance. We will be caught up by others soon. Moreover, if the business is good, we simply can't catch up with the speed of others imitating. Therefore, it is better to hire people sooner rather than later, especially tailors. We may need to learn them. It is better to select and inspect them early to avoid mistakes in a hurry later."

Her words reminded Li Mengxue that the policy would be relaxed next year. Although she didn't know whether it would be before or after the Spring Festival, they didn't have much time to do these things after the winter vacation and after school started. This was a big problem, and they really had to hire someone: "You're right, I thought we should save some costs at the beginning and do it ourselves, but in fact we don't have much time, so we still have to hire someone, so it's better to hire someone earlier."

Yi Qingqing was delighted, but she didn't expect Li Mengxue to say, "But it can't be too early. We can look for people in advance and hire them when the policy comes out. We still have to find a way to prepare the first batch of clothes ourselves. Only by preparing them in advance can we quickly seize the market. I think we can prepare for this during the summer vacation this year, but we definitely can't hire people now. Once we hire, we will be burning money every day. We don't know when the policy will come out. We can save a little bit, what if we lose money?"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

This is a determination not to let her be lazy. How could Comrade Dajinhua not know when the policy will come out?

However, Comrade Da Jinhua also gave in, and considering the cost, her decision was fine. It's just that for Yi Qingqing, time is much more important than the cost. But there's nothing you can say about that. After all, Da Jinhua has said that she only wants help preparing the first batch of goods during the summer vacation.

Well, she would just be a hands-off boss later! But even so, she still wanted to save time as much as possible, so she said, "Should we prepare a few sewing machines?"

With a sewing machine, making clothes is much faster.

Li Mengxue hadn't thought of it being so detailed: "Indeed, but sewing plane tickets is not easy, I need to think of a way."

"I have a way to deal with sewing machines, leave it to me," Yi Qingqing said. She would just go to the sewing machine counter in the department store and sign twice.

She now understands her sisters very well. She doesn't necessarily need to find a reason to give out everything. Unless she asks them proactively, they won't insist on asking her where she got the things from.

Sure enough, no one asked her these questions at this time, and everyone agreed.

Qian Lailai also took out a notebook from her bag and quickly wrote down everything about the sewing machine.

"You got into the role so quickly?" Li Mengxue said with a smile.

"Remember first, we have to distribute dividends according to shares. This sewing machine is also an investment, so it has to be recorded," Qian Lai said, "The same goes for the others. You should also think about what we need to prepare if we want to sell clothes. Whoever brings out the money will be considered as a shareholder." Qian Lai said.

Yi Qingqing continued to add bricks and tiles to her lazy purpose: "Now that we have a sewing machine, don't we need a place to put it? And we must buy some cloth, right? Do we also need a place to store the cloth? Since this requires a place, that requires a place, and once we open the business, we have to hire people, then we might as well start from opening a store. Renting a store is not expensive anyway.

It just so happens that I have a two-story shop on Jinma Street. There are several residential areas nearby and it is also close to Imperial Cinema. The location is good and there are many potential customers. It should be a good place to open a clothing store.

The first floor is used as a store, and the second floor is used to house tailors. Since it is rented to others, it is better to use it ourselves, and there will be no disputes. We can rent it as long as we want. If you are worried about the cost, I will use the rent of the house for three years as a share. I will not be unable to pay the rent after three years, right? If that is the case, we can just stop doing it.

This way we will have a place to discuss business matters and make clothes in the future, and there will also be a place to store the clothes we stockpiled before opening the store.

Besides, I can just clean it up and use it. If I want to set up a stall, I can just go out from the store and it’s convenient. I can also attract customers to the store.”

In the original book, Li Mengxue set up a stall first and then opened a shop, but Yi Qingqing felt that this process could be skipped. They had the cost, and with more cost, the progress could be faster.

Setting up a stall is convenient, but it may also lead to the loss of many customers due to instability. People start by setting up a stall if they do not have the ability to open a store. Since they have the ability to open a store, they might as well open it directly!

"If we open a shop, won't we need to prepare more clothes in advance? Will the cost be higher? Even if the house is yours and the rent is used as equity, it will still cost a lot to buy so much fabric, right? Can we afford that much money?"

Li Mengxue certainly knew that having a store would be more convenient and would help retain customers, but where would the money come from?
