Chapter 513 Extra: Three Sisters, Forever Together. Xie Mingzhu is meticulous, skilled in design and hand-cutting, adept at grasping the overall pattern, and skilled at adjusting clothes according to the client's appearance and temperament. She is responsible for the production and design of clothes.
Li Qingqing is sweet-talking, quick-witted, approachable, and good at accepting new things.
She has a keen sense of trends and fashion, coupled with strong interpersonal skills, the ability to come up with new marketing ideas, and the skill in maintaining customer relationships.
She was mainly responsible for external reception and communication, and sometimes she would also help Xie Mingzhu come up with design plans.
The two learned as they worked, constantly summarizing their experiences, drawing lessons, making adjustments, and striving for progress.
Before long, a sales model suitable for the present was formed, and a customer profile was established and refined.
Shu Ying even suggested a "membership system" business strategy to retain old customers on important holidays, birthdays, and store anniversaries.
Customers are offered different large discounts and gifts based on their spending, and these conditions are also used to attract more new customers and stimulate their desire to buy.
A sophisticated management and sales strategy has made this small shop's business thrive, getting better every day.
As the number of orders and demand increased, the two of them were completely overwhelmed, so they did as they had planned and hired three more master seamstresses with superb sewing skills.
Li Qingqing and Xie Mingzhu were responsible for creating the blueprints, while the teachers' department was responsible for rushing to produce them according to the blueprints.
And so, the two started with a small shop and gradually expanded their counter in the department store to two or three, hiring more and more tailors.
At the same time, national policies have been relaxed time and again, and the government has become more tolerant of entrepreneurs, with more supportive policies in place.
On the eve of complete liberalization, Shu Ying keenly sensed something and immediately gave Xie Mingzhu and Li Qingqing new advice.
—Let them leave the department store and use their accumulated funds to rent a small storefront in the emerging "clothing street" to open their own shops.
Although it seems that Li Qingqing and Xie Mingzhu have worked hard all this way, almost all the important decisions and suggestions behind the scenes were made by Shu Ying.
On several occasions when they were short of funds, it was Shu Ying who used her own savings to provide them.
Shu Ying was very dedicated to them and never hesitated to help whenever she could.
Without Shu Ying, their business would never have reached where it is today.
The two trusted Shu Ying, just as they had always had, and it was the same this time.
Without hesitation, they listened to Shu Ying's words, removed their counters from the department store, rented a storefront on the clothing street, and hung up the signboard of "San Shu Clothing".
This name represents the three women who worked together to start their business, and it is a tribute to the path they walked hand in hand.
This also indicates that the three of them are indispensable.
On the day the shop opened, the three of them specially bought several strings of firecrackers, lit them, and quickly ran to the side to plug their ears.
Bright red paper flew into the sky as the firecrackers exploded, then fluttered down, creating an extremely festive atmosphere.
The three of them watched quietly, and at that moment, many memories came to mind.
Those moments when I almost thought I couldn't hold on, those difficult moments, those big and small things when customers were difficult and I had to resolve them.
There was joy, and there were tears.
The three of them worked side by side, step by step, and finally got to where they are today, with this small shop.
This can be considered as fulfilling one of Xie Mingzhu's original dreams.
As the firecrackers burned out, the three of them subconsciously looked at each other and were surprised to find that there were tear stains on each other's faces.
The three of them were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other and laughed.
"Our hard work and efforts over the years have not been in vain. We have truly realized our dream of establishing ourselves in Beijing, relying on our own efforts, and gaining a foothold."
Xie Mingzhu and Li Qingqing simultaneously opened their arms and hugged Shu Ying tightly.
