When it was time to close the door, Yu Changle had already pretended to look at the door casually two or three times. Looking at the empty door, she felt a little empty in her heart for some reason.
In order to prevent herself from having nothing to think about, she decided to find something to do for herself.
The business of the clothing store is pretty good. Although it is not as popular as the first three days of opening, the daily turnover is about 30 yuan, which is very impressive for ordinary people after a month.
But she, Yu Changle, did not come to be an ordinary person in the 1980s. God finally gave her a chance to change her destiny. How could she not take advantage of it!
Yu Changle shook his head, trying to get rid of the figure in his mind.
People's habits are really terrible, but it has only been two days, and she has already begun to expect something in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Changle calmed down and warned himself: Men will only affect the speed at which she makes money!
She has already thought about the next development of the clothing store. Although she can make money by making her own clothes, the output is small. She can only say that if she makes a small effort in the early stages of starting a business and has no capital, it will definitely not be as good as a clothing factory that introduces assembly line operations. Earn more.
But there is no such thing as swallowing watermelon in one bite. If you want to open a clothing factory and make a lot of money, you have to do it step by step.
At present, her clothing store mainly sells clothes made of cotton and linen. The raw materials are relatively easy to buy, and the clothes that can be sold are much cheaper than clothes made of silk.
This is not cost-effective for Yu Changle who spends almost the same time and cost.
Although not everyone can afford clothes of the level of Gong Shen's jersey, she can make some more daily high-end fabric clothes for sale. These days, many people still ask her if she has silk clothes!
Jinbo City is not a big city, with only one silk factory, the state-owned silk factory where Liu Bo works.
Since Liu Bo was able to buy ten feet of cloth for her last time, it means that the state-owned silk factory is not completely monolithic. But this time, Liu Bo cannot be troubled anymore and has to negotiate with the raw material supplier himself.
In addition, she also plans to add a new category, which is custom-made men's suits.
It is said that women make money easily, but in fact, men are not tight-lipped. If they can't make money, it's just because they don't address their pain points.
As the spring breeze of reform and opening up blows across the land of China, the suit trend will soon start from the coast and sweep across the inland. Jinbo, as the provincial capital city, will naturally bear the brunt of the impact.
Nowadays, ready-made suits are already sold in department stores, but not many people wear them on the street, so the herd effect has not yet formed.
Moreover, the suits sold in department stores are wide and wide, so everyone can wear them the same way.
But the suits Yu Changle plans to make are advanced custom-made, completely tailor-made, which not only perfectly suits his personal image, but also controls the backlog of costs.
She first designed two basic styles, one more formal and one more casual, which are enough to meet the needs of most men.
For formal wear, opt for a revamped classic power suit with broad shoulders, sharp silhouettes, wider lapels and fewer buttons;
The casual style is mainly distinguished in fabrics and colors, and a vest is worn inside to make it look more textured.
She was not worried at all about sales. A few days ago, the newspaper had published a report about a national new model clothing exhibition held at the Beijing Exhibition Hall. It was this report that reminded her that there was about to be a revolution in the clothing industry. The fashion trend of suits.
It won’t be long before suits will become the new big-ticket item after the three-turn-one-ring. The scene of people queuing up to buy suits in department stores will last forever, and suits will become a new scarce commodity that is in short supply.
As for the price, she unceremoniously priced the formal model at 72 yuan and the casual model at 99 yuan, which is seven or eight times more expensive than a set of women's clothing.
Obviously the prices of raw materials for the two suit styles are almost the same, but Yu Changle prices the casual style much more expensive than the formal style. This is purely due to her understanding of the psychological needs of customers.
As a "luxury product" in the 1980s, ordinary people would have to save up three months' salary without eating or drinking to buy a suit. Of course, most people would choose a formal suit that is cheaper and can be used for formal occasions. suit.
And those who really have spare money to buy casual suits can gain the vanity of pursuing superior quality by buying casual suits. The extra twenty yuan or so is nothing to them.
Therefore, these two suits are aimed at two different types of male customers, the working class and the wealthy. Yu Changle aims to win over both types of target customers through this small "consumption trap".
She had just finished drawing the basic drafts of two sets of suits when she heard the sound of wind chimes ringing at the door, and Yu Changle quickly looked up.
It turned out that Yu Changxi and Li Mei came back from the hospital to read to Cuicui.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, and once again criticized the little expectation that had just risen in her heart, she went up to him and asked:
"How are you today? Is Cuicui feeling better?"
Li Mei shook her head, her face still covered with a hint of sadness: "There are still no signs of waking up, but the doctor said that the body has recovered a lot compared to before, and there is still hope for waking up."
"That's good. Maybe when the body is almost recovered, the person will wake up naturally." Yu Changle comforted him.
Li Mei nodded: "I hope so."
Yu Changle showed the newly drawn draft to Li Mei and Yu Changxi: "This is the clothing style I plan to sell in the store next. What do you think?"
"This is...men's clothing?" Li Mei looked around and came to this conclusion.
Yu Changxi recognized it at a glance: "Sister, this is a suit!"
This surprised Yu Changle: "Do you still know about suits?"
Yu Changxi smiled honestly: "The math teacher in our school is an educated youth from Shanghai. He wears this kind of clothes to teach us every day. It was he who told us that this kind of clothes is called a suit. I heard that it is the clothes worn by foreigners. It is expensive. Still waiting."
Li Mei was quite surprised: "These are clothes worn by foreigners? Can we Chinese wear them?"
Yu Changle smiled: "Why can't you wear it? We Chinese can also make clothes that foreigners can make, and they can also be improved into styles that suit our Chinese body types."
"But this dress...will anyone buy it?"
Li Mei was a little skeptical. No one had ever seen it on the street. Don't make it and no one would buy it. It would be a waste of fabric.
Yu Changle was full of confidence: "You don't have to worry about this, sister-in-law, I will make a version tomorrow, you can follow suit, and we will try to put it on the shelves as soon as possible."
Everything is about seizing the opportunity. As the first store to launch customized suits, Changle Clothing Store will naturally become people's first choice.
