Su Wanhua quickly asked: "Open your own shop? That cost is too high, the third aunt has no money."
Chen Yuan said solemnly: "San aunt, I will invest in you to open a shop, how about you becoming the store manager? "She just saw Su Wanhua's craftsmanship. Such a master may not be able to hire a high-paying teacher. This craftsmanship is more exquisite as you get older, and of course it can continue to shine in the cutting industry.
Su Wanhua's eyes were hot when she heard that, she felt that Chen Yuan was a really good girl, and being able to say such things showed that it was really good to her, and her own children could not do like Chen Yuan.
Since she broke her leg once and fractured, although she has recovered, she still can’t do too much hard work. Her children hate her when she is old and can’t farm the fields. At home, she can only do some washing and laundry to clean up the house and make a house. The meal was too bad for her to cook, and she didn't have the money to shave, and she didn't give her children much help, but it was just a drag.
So Chen Yuan's words like this really moved her very much. Even if she was just talking, she was able to say this, not everyone can do it.
As Su Wanhua got older and older, he discovered that not every child is unconditional to his parents, and most of this condition is based on the question of whether he has money.
If she had a house and land in her hands, her children would definitely not dare to show her a color. They would do everything in order to divide the property, and would treat her well, so the property is the first condition. Of course, it is not that she was filial to her children. She was filial to Shen Huai's grandmother, and naturally she did her best to accompany her on the last journey of her life. Maybe she didn't have such a blessing and couldn't run into such a good child. When Chen Yuan said something like this, Su Wanhua was really moved in her heart. She held Chen Yuan with her red eyes and smiled and said: "Good boy, Sanyi, thank you, but I really don’t need it. I already know your kindness, that’s Because I know, I don’t want you to take this risk. It costs a lot of money to open a shop. If you don’t make money or you lose money, the third aunt will definitely feel sorry for it. I don’t have much demand when I get older, as long as I can. It’s enough to find a living enough to make ends meet, and I’m already contented if I can support myself."
The key is that the risk of doing business is too great. It is very likely that there will be nothing left. Now many people go to the store to buy clothes, and there are not many people who make clothes in the clothing store, so opening a clothing store is a risky thing. Su Wanhua felt that it was really unreliable, and he didn't want Chen Yuan to lose money for her own reasons. That would add to her burden.
Chen Yuan explained: "Auntie San, how could you lose money because of your skills? I think that the outer garments are not as good as yours. The shop is based on craftsmanship. What we do is boutique, not a garment factory. That kind of assembly line can be compared, you will gradually understand this."
"Child, it's the first time you praise me like this. I used to work in the tailor shop in our county for a while, but then I have to take care of Shen Huai. My grandmother doesn’t have time to continue doing it anymore. If I’m looking for a job now, people think I can’t keep up with my age and my age is here. It’s also impossible.”
“Auntie, trust me. You are still young and not too old. You already have such a good cutting technique. Why don't you make good use of it? Instead of looking for a small restaurant worker, it is really a waste of your technique, and working in a restaurant will benefit your health. It's definitely not enough, it won't last long, and there is no future for development, and the wages are still very low." Su Wanhua and young people are more than physical strength, it is impossible for Su Wanhua and young people to work. Can do it, hire people at the same price, the boss would definitely be willing to hire a young employee with good health, not to speak coldly, but to explain the facts, Su Wanhua is not competitive in the market, and it is very difficult to do anything, even if he finds a job. Still very difficult. But if it is tailoring, it is different. Chen Yuan helping Su Wanhua is also a win-win thing. She also lays the foundation for her to join the clothing industry and hires other masters. Su Wanhua has such a good craftsmanship, why not use her. "But..."
Su Wanhua still feels wrong. This idea is too sudden. She is not as confident as Chen Yuan said. She certainly knows what level of her skills are. She will not think how amazing she is just because Chen Yuan praised her. In their home, women of their own age can tailor more or less, so I don’t think this is so special, but I feel that Chen Yuan can praise her craftsmanship so much and feel very happy in her heart, but she won’t be just because of this. I naively think that my craft can really support a shop.
Chen Yuan interrupted the other party's words softly and persuaded: "Sanyi, what I said is true. You must believe me. I really want to be in the clothing business. This idea is serious and not a trifling matter. What will be the result of the business in the future? How can you know if it will be good if you don’t try it? If it really doesn’t work, you can look for another job, but if you give up, it’s a pity that you can’t use such a good craftsmanship. , Maybe after you don’t try this time, you won’t have a chance."
"Child, you really trust me so much, not afraid that I will hurt you."
"Of course I’m not afraid, maybe I will thank you for that in the future."
Su Wanhua couldn’t stand Chen Yuan’s persuasion. , Began to waver. After all, thinking about whether Chen Yuan can take risks in doing business, and she still considers herself, if she never agrees, she appears to be a little bit uncomfortable. Not everyone can do for herself like Chen Yuan. For the sake of the future, working in a restaurant is not the best choice. This has no future and is even more unfriendly to the elderly. No matter how you continue to cut, it is still a technique. It must be much better than the original idea.
So she hesitated and looked at Chen Yuan and nodded: "Thank you, Xiaoyuan, the third aunt is really honored. The only craft can be appreciated by you. I really appreciate it. No one has followed me in my life. I said, you are the first person to appreciate my craftsmanship." Su Wanhua's eyes were a little red, and he was very moved. He kept thanking Chen Yuan in his mouth, thinking that if he really opened a clothing store, he must do things well and not waste it. Chen Yuan's painstaking efforts.
Chen Yuan said very seriously: "Auntie San, in fact, you don't need to thank me. Do business or do business. Although we are relatives, it is still two different things. If I opened a clothing store, you would help me make clothes and open the store. You are responsible for a lot of work. I will pay you a corresponding salary. What do you think?"
"I have no experience in dealing with shops before. I only work as a tailor. I still have some problems in management.
" Isn’t there me now? When the store is on track, you will definitely be proficient.”
Zhu Hua at the restaurant will be very familiar with work in the future, and basically there will be no major problems, so Chen Yuan does not need to be a general manager. Staring there, just check it out from time to time. At other times, I have a lot of energy and can do other business.
"Okay, okay."
Su Wanhua nodded repeatedly, and reached an initial consensus with Chen Yuan. The two negotiated to open a store. Shen Huai was very happy when he learned about this. He took out his savings and gave it to Chen Yuan, wanting to support each other. Career.
In fact, Chen Yuan's excellence puts more and more pressure on herself, and she is not so happy even when she is about to face the joy of being promoted.
Shen Huai felt that he was a little unworthy of Chen Yuan. For the first time, he had the idea of leaving the army. He wanted to leave the army and start his own business. He also wanted to give Chen Yuan and his children a better life. He was a man and had to bear the burden of his family. , It is necessary to keep up with Chen Yuan's footsteps.
Chen Yuan grew too fast. If he had no crisis, he would be lagging farther and farther behind, and would never be able to catch up in the end.
At this time, Shen Huai silently made a career plan for the future in his heart.
The matter of opening a clothing store has already been determined, but as to how to do it, Su Wanhua is still worried about losing money so that Chen Yuan should not invest too much. Investing two thousand yuan to open a small store is already very good.
It just so happened that there was a clothing store near the market that couldn't open because of bad business. It put up a brand for low prices. Inside, sewing machines and fabric irons were all ready-made. Although they are all old, they can all be used. It saves a lot of cost and time for decoration. Simply tidy up the shop and then reopen. There are advantages and disadvantages to changing the old store. The advantage is that the cost is low and the store is opened quickly. The disadvantage is that the former owner may face the same problem of bad business. If you know that the store has changed the owner, you may have the idea of never coming again. In short, the problems encountered by the two are not small. After looking for a shop, the sign of the clothing store was re-ordered. Chen Yuan and Su Wanhua discussed the name "Huaya Clothing Store". As soon as the brand came out, she also habitually went to register the trademark and brand name. However, although the name of this shop was only a temporary idea, Chen Yuan felt that it should not be taken lightly. This kind of patent issue must not be sloppy. The rest of the time is the time for the two to prepare clothes. The store used to have a lot of fabrics, some of which are of good quality, but the color is darker. They are all black, gray, ochre, ochre, navy, and grass green. Thick cashmere cloth, these fabrics look like cotton-padded jackets and trousers. There are many finished products in the store, but they can't be sold at all, because the styles are too earthy. The temperature outside is not yet zero. Although it is not time to wear the cotton jacket, I have to put on a slightly thicker jacket. Chen Yuan plans to make some styles that are not available on the market, but this time she does not plan to take a particularly novel route. After all, clothes styles are easier to be imitated. There are a lot of copycats, and there is really no way to control it, so she plans to Starting from wearing, even if the clothes don't look so good, unexpected results will appear when they are worn on the body. The next day Chen Yuan brought back a lot of buttons, pearls, chains, hardware, fake diamonds, pendant tassels, and various decorations, which weighed several kilograms. These are the accessories she customized from the accessory wholesaler. Some of them are not for clothes, but for bags, shoes, and handicrafts. Chen Yuan intends to use them all on the clothes in her store.
Chen Yuan has spent a long time thinking about it, and feels that if new models are launched in the future and want to highlight the difference, they can only spend their minds on the decorations of the clothes. As long as they are well decorated, they are both good-looking and easy to wear. The clothes draw a difference. After all, it is too difficult to protect your patents no matter which world you are in. After the future world is on fire, a large number of people will follow suit. After all, it is also possible to drive a part of the economy through this, and there is really no way to control it. The only solution can only be to let people have genuine awareness with the continuous progress of society, so as to reduce the occurrence of piracy, but in this case, there must be a long way to go, and the process is also very painful. If you want to start a business now, you can only ensure that you have a unique design so that you can open up new markets. Chen Yuan quickly drew a design drawing for a mid-length woolen coat, with a belt around the waist and a silk scarf at the neckline. The collar of this dress is a suit collar, but it is better than a traditional suit collar. It is much smaller, and the curve of the waist is very special. It looks very thin. People with a bad figure can also wear it. Moreover, this kind of clothes is especially a hundred towers, and it can be matched with any clothes inside. Su Wanhua looked at the drawings that Chen Yuan had just drawn with reading glasses, with a look of surprise on his face. The dress was too beautiful, but it was beautiful, but if she was asked to tell her what she looked like, she would not be able to tell the characteristics. Obviously, this style seems to have been seen somewhere before, and it seems that I have not seen it before. It is always ordinary and unusual. This is the charm of this dress. The reason why Su Wanhua has a sense of sight is because this collar is a suit collar, so it looks very familiar, and this style can also find a similar feeling on the windbreaker. At first glance, it is very ordinary. Finding special, this is synonymous with low-key, gorgeous and connotative. "Xiaoyuan, your hand is so clever. This dress is really good. I think it's better than the ones sold in the mall. What material and color is used for this dress?" Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Auntie, let's This dress is made of the plush material that was piled up in the store before."
Those plush materials are not pure wool, but they also contain 30% wool. There are also some other ingredients. They are stronger and denser. They will not pilling after washing, but they do not feel good and feel a little rough to the touch.
It is definitely not comparable to the refined 100% pure wool of later generations, but the material now is considered good. After all, ordinary people can't spend too much money to buy pure wool products, at most they are paid to buy a scarf, so Ordinary consumption and high quality are the fastest way to open the market.
Su Wanhua was a little puzzled at first, because this style is so good-looking, wouldn't it be a waste of these drawings if the fabric was used.
"Xiaoyuan, the third aunt didn't mean anything else, but she thought, did she use those fabrics to make this style blind? Those colors are really old and earthy. This coat is so foreign and it feels wasted to make it."
Chen Yuan shook her head: "It's okay. You don't need to choose a color for this style. You can make any color of fabric. You can try it with earthy yellow fabric. It really gets more and more damp." Don't say earthy yellow, it's cow dung green, what? Gray-blue, no matter what color you can imagine, as long as it is a dark color, you can make a coat.
Don't you know that the color of luxury goods should not be too fancy, the color is single, and dark, dull, and simple, in order to create a sense of retro fashion, and how many designers are good at matching.
But this is not easy to understand in Su Wanhua’s age, because people in their age have not worn brightly colored clothes since they were young, and those who wear red are worn only once when they are married. Although they think the color is very conspicuous, but I think red and green, blue and purple are very beautiful colors, so bright colors are called tides, and dark colors feel more earthy.
It's even more impossible to get more muddy and tide, because mud and tide are completely opposite terms. The more beautiful the clothes are, the more people like to buy them. The rustic ones will definitely not be bothered by anyone.
Su Wanhua felt a little unbelievable. This earthy yellow fabric was no longer worn by anyone. People disliked this color as ugly, and felt that it had reduced her identity. She herself felt that this color couldn't stand it.
Now that I want to use this khaki to make clothes, my first thought is that the clothes made will become very, very rustic.
Although Su Wanhua may reduce the effect on the drawing, the fabric is ready-made, and it feels wasteful if it is not needed. Therefore, if the dress is made particularly rustic, it will be used as a sample, and then I will continue to make it with other fabrics.
After getting the drawing and drew out the khaki woolen cloth, Su Wanhua started her own tailoring work. Although she couldn't keep up with her eyes, she still felt that she could see clearly after wearing reading glasses, so she didn't delay her work, and Chen Yuan helped her play The paper pattern means that all the styles are cut out with kraft paper for each piece of clothing. After this style is being made, you can take it over and use it directly.
It only took two days for Su Wanhua to finish the khaki woolen coat, and just put it on the model shelf and look at it. It feels like something amazing has happened. It seems that there is no but look at the fabric. So rustic, and the color of this earthy yellow is dark, it seems that this dress is more low-key and connotative.
Chen Yuan tied the belt in the middle of her clothes, tied a bow flexibly, and took out the long pearl brooch she made herself and pinned it on. The neckline and cuff pockets were also decorated with golden buttons, which looked very shining. Eye-catching, and finally took a dark black silk scarf on the neck of the dummy model, this dress is complete.
Su Wanhua was amazed in his heart. It is hard to believe that this is a dress made by himself. There is still a shadow of the rusticity of the fabric before, and it is more like the clothes worn by the ladies on the TV. I did not expect the finished product to be so big. Change, when the khaki can also be so high-end, it proves to the khaki that it is not a bad color, but a problem of style.
At the same time, she also admired in her heart that Chen Yuan would definitely be able to perform magic tricks, turning the bottom fabrics that could only be depreciated and sold at a low price, and now she has transformed into a boutique women's clothing that can be placed in high-end showcases.
The yellow fabric unearthed perfectly, this kind of unknown beauty.
