Chapter 435: Preparation for Opening a Store



Everyone brainstormed, performed their duties, made enthusiastic suggestions and discussions, and suddenly someone stood out.

"Qingqing, do you have any suggestions?" Li Mengxue couldn't help but ask.

Yi Qingqing shook her head honestly: "What you said is all right and good. I don't have any suggestions. I support you all. Come on!"

Li Mengxue: "..."

This is a bit hateful.

But he has agreed from the beginning to be a hands-off financial sponsor, so what can we do?

"Haha," Yi Qingqing looked at their resentful expressions and couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are responsible for making money, and I am responsible for applauding you, and then waiting for the dividends to make you rich, perfect!"

She is so smart!

Li Mengxue: "..."

So what if he's the sponsor? I can't stand it anymore! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Hahaha, calm down, calm down! I was wrong, haha!" Yi Qingqing got scared for a second when she saw that the situation was not good.

They chatted for half the night and then stayed in the store that night.

The next day, before dawn, Yi Qingqing opened her eyes and threw off the quilts one by one: "Get up quickly! We have to catch the early bus!"

Half an hour later, Yi Qingqing dragged three sleepy guys out of the dormitory.

This is probably the price for being too excited last night!

Then she threw the money to Chen Zhihe, and Wang Lingling gave it to Xie Shiyan. Comrade Gao was not there, so she was the only one dragging Li Mengxue.

She held Li Mengxue with one hand and Yun Guyuan with the other.

A group of people went to the bus stop to wait for the early bus.

You must not miss this bus, otherwise you will miss the first class in the morning.

Even though they were thinking about opening a store, they were still college students who were about to take their final exams.

Once the heavy workload comes, I have no time to think about anything else.

Two weeks later, I was tense until I finished the last exam and left the examination room, when I finally relaxed.

As soon as they finished their exams, they moved into the store.

Only Yi Qingqing studied two majors. After finishing the exams for her major, she had to go to the teacher's office to take the exams for another major under the watch of the teachers. She arrived one day later than the others. It was already January 11th, and the official opening day would be in five days.

When she and Yun Guyuan arrived, they found that the store had changed a lot.

The first floor, which previously only had empty clothes hangers, is now filled with clothes, the curtains in the fitting rooms have been hung, and the dressing mirrors are also in place.

Even the price tags of the clothes were hung up, and there was a large cardboard box on the counter.

Li Mengxue and the others were writing something on the table next to the counter. When they saw her coming, they quickly called her to help: "Come and help write the lottery tickets."

"Lottery?" Yi Qingqing asked curiously.

"We have to do something different to attract attention when we open our store. Instead of giving discounts directly, it's better to use lottery to give discounts. No one can resist the charm of lottery!" Li Mengxue patted the big cardboard box: "When the time comes, we will write on the flyer that in the first three days of the opening, every time you buy a piece of clothing in our store, you can enter the lottery once. The prizes include fruit candies, melon seeds, peanuts, rice, flour, meat, oil, and cash rewards. You will win every time you draw! Even people who don't plan to buy clothes may be attracted! We don't discount clothes, but we can attract people with lottery. Besides, I have channels to get these things. Most of them are small prizes, which are much more cost-effective than discounts on clothes."

"What a good idea! It makes me want to smoke," said Yi Qingqing.

As she owns the sign-in system, she has the most say in this matter, and the joy of signing in is almost the same as that of participating in a lottery.

She has signed in so many times that she can now guess most of the things that can be signed out at each sign-in location, which takes away a lot of the fun.

"But it's very troublesome to prepare the prizes and write the lottery tickets," Qian Lailai did not stop working and sighed, "These all need to be written, and the men are packing the prizes in the back!"

Yi Qingqing looked at the pile of cut paper strips and wanted to run away.

But soon a pen was stuffed into his hand, and he was forced to sit at the table and write furiously.

Comrade Yun took the initiative to go to the utility room to help pack the prizes.

"Have you finished writing the flyer?" Yi Qingqing suddenly asked while writing.

"No, so you have to hurry up and finish it before you get your grades. When we go to school to get our transcripts, we'll hand out a leaflet to the students," Li Mengxue said, "You'll also get an extra copy for the dormitory aunties, cafeteria aunties, and teachers."

There's nothing we can do about it. Who makes Yi Qingqing the most popular among the elders?

"Okay," Yi Qingqing didn't have any objection to this. Their clothes were much better looking than those in department stores, and the prices were also reasonable, about the same as those in department stores. There were also lucky draws, so there was no problem in inviting people to support them.

"Oh, who would have thought that my hands didn't feel sore from writing during the exam, but now they do from writing this thing," Li Mengxue shook her hands. It was so uncomfortable. She missed the printer so much!

Printing is extremely difficult these days. There is absolutely no way to do it. Color printing is even more impossible and may not even exist yet.

Otherwise, why would they go to so much trouble?

The date for opening their store was not too early, as they saw the policy and smelled the opportunity later than them. However, there were many stores that opened earlier than them, but none of them held promotional activities like them.

Most of them opened quietly. I didn't see any clothes shops. Most of them sold food. On their street alone, there was a man pushing a cart selling sesame cakes every morning. His business was very good.

Several people wrote during the day and at night. After the tailors hired by Qian Duoduo arrived, they also joined in. Their burden was lightened a little.

The day before receiving the report card, the flyers and lottery items were prepared, and the fabric that Wang Lingling had ordered by telegram finally arrived.

The tailors can finally start doing their job.

Qian Duoduo hired six people and, referring to the previous clothing-making process of Yi Qingqing and her colleagues, divided the studio into three parts: a drawing room dedicated to drawing cutting lines, a cutting room dedicated to cutting along the lines, and a sewing room dedicated to sewing.

One person is responsible for the drawing board, two people are responsible for cutting, and three people are responsible for sewing. They are in different studios, forming a small assembly line. The separation of each other's work also increases the difficulty for the seamstresses to learn their designs.

Qian Duoduo was also very smart when recruiting people. He did not pick those who were very good at making clothes, but instead chose those who were unemployed and had poor family conditions. Their sewing skills were just okay. Only the three people in charge of sewing were required to be proficient in using sewing machines.

What she valued most was the character of the workers, and she only picked honest people. There was not a single young person. They were all women over 30 years old and married. The one in charge of the drawing board was even a country girl, but she had been to school for a few days, had steady hands, and cherished this job very much.
