Qi Sheng has always been decisive in his work, and the next day after he came back, he began to choose a location to find a store, and he also went to the unit to quit his job by the way.
Completely freelance, Qi Sheng put most of his energy on store decoration, so when the first batch of orders arrived, the venue was completely ready.
The area of the store is about 100 square meters, and the whole site is divided into women's clothing and children's clothing. After all, the business of these two groups is the best.
He also hired two female shopping guides to help on-site customers solve problems.
With everything ready, Qi Sheng started advertising. Although this era is not like the information explosion ten or twenty years later, everything needs a bit of fame to become bigger and stronger, but he wants to attract big-ticket consumption before the New Year's Eve Or, of course, some publicity is indispensable.
For this reason, he also specially rented a camera and asked his two sons to be models, wearing the main children's clothing in the store as promotional posters.
Qi Wenle was originally a person who likes to be lively. Hearing from his father that he could make people passing by pay attention to his handsomeness and cuteness, he immediately became interested.
On the contrary, Qi Chenghao was a little shy at first.
"Haohao, relax a bit, don't be nervous, just take a few steps, and leave the rest to Dad."
Qi Chenghao walked around two more times, but he still felt a little unnatural. When he was feeling anxious and lost, he heard Qi Sheng call his brother over.
He forced himself to hide the sadness in his eyes, watched his father and younger brother beside him muttering something in a low voice, and encouraged himself in his heart: next time we must succeed, and father must not underestimate it!
Then when shooting again, Qi Chenghao, who froze and continued to "seriously" complete the model pose, was frightened by the sudden grimace of his stupid brother before he could react.
Xiao Budian stepped forward to hug him, and started his daily flirting, cuteness and humor. In less than ten seconds, Qi Chenghao, who was a little displeased at being interrupted just now, burst into laughter.
When the two brothers got together, Qi Sheng didn't need to remind them at all, and the motion picture captured was 200% fulfilling his request.
So after fighting with his younger brother, Qi Chenghao, who was about to sort out his mood and become a model seriously, hadn't put away the presumptuous smile on his face when he heard his father say, "Okay, today's task Finish."
Qi Chenghao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he thought his father didn't intend to let him take pictures anymore, and he felt a little sad, so he was embraced by a pair of familiar arms.
"Haohao and Lele have worked hard today. Hey, this is what Dad took for you just now. You two can pick out the ones you like first. After I wash them out, I will put some pictures in our house."
So Qi Chenghao, who had not been lost for a long time, saw all kinds of photos of him, the ones who were laughed at by his stupid brother, the ones who stared at others, the ones who messed up, and the ones who made faces.
The stupid brother next to him came to show his presence again, "Brother, your picture is so ugly!"
Qi Chenghao said angrily, "Do you still want to hear the story?"
One sentence made Qi Wenle cover his mouth, stare wide-eyed and shake his head violently.
The two brothers finished picking out each other's photos with disgust, and finally when Qi Sheng came to ask, the result he got left him speechless.
"Dad, can you wash it all out for us?"
The brothers seldom took photos before, but this time it was like discovering a new toy, and they liked every photo very much.
Qi Sheng couldn't count on them, so he had to pick them one by one. Unfortunately, in the end, he found that the conclusions of his sons were very correct, and he had to wash out each one!
Qi Sheng still sighed proudly in his heart, his son is so cute, parents will suddenly face such a strange sweet burden!
He planned to go to the photo studio to develop all the photos in a while, and borrowed a rented camera, and he also brought a group of photos for his wife.
So after all the photos were washed out, Qi Sheng picked out a few photos that were suitable for promotional posters and pasted them in the store.
So Qi Chenghao, who was picked up to play in the store after school, was a little puzzled when he saw that there were only pictures of him and his younger brother in the store.
"Dad, why is there no picture of Mom?"
Qi Sheng smiled and explained to his younger son who was also confused: "Mom is shy and doesn't like to show photos."
Seeing the two sons nodding their heads knowingly, Qi Sheng cursed in his heart: It's a joke, the sons' looks can be betrayed, but of course the wife's should be kept for himself to appreciate!
At this moment, Qi Sheng realized that he might also be a bit machismo.
Of course, women's clothing is their main style after all, and Qi Sheng didn't use female models due to financial reasons. He matched the main styles well, and used his superb photography and photo editing skills to make the clothes in the store look beautiful. of.
These women's clothes were printed and distributed by Qi Sheng as flyers and handed over to two female shopping guides, asking them to go to intersections with relatively large traffic to promote them, and to confirm the opening time. Qi Sheng's career in this world will also officially kick off the first act. .
On the day of the opening, Mishang Clothing, which had already done enough publicity, got off to a good start.
A few days ago, the beauty lovers who were attracted by the various styles of clothes on the flyer had already inquired about the store and address. After reading the publicity, it said that there was a discount on the first day, and they couldn't wait to let the store open as soon as possible. So on this day, the female consumers who came to patronize directly exceeded Qi Sheng's expectations.
The two shopping guides have not stopped since they opened, and even Qi Sheng has been so busy, especially for the three main products, Qi Sheng has moved back and forth from the warehouse several times before he will be satisfied. shoppers.
Most of the people who came to buy clothes at the beginning focused on women's clothing. After they solved their external problems, they finally began to pay attention to children's clothing in a small area.
They looked at the two cute and handsome boys in the window, and immediately thought of their sons, nephews, nephews... Of course, after they walked around carefully, they realized that they had to buy a set for their daughter too! The little girl's skirt is so beautiful, isn't it!
The children's clothes Qi Sheng chose were both boys and girls, but unfortunately he didn't have a daughter to act as a model for him, and there were photos of his two sons, so he didn't want to find other girls to take pictures of girls' clothes.
Fortunately, the customers in the store all have a pair of eyes to discover beauty, so the sales volume of girls is no less than that of boys.
The opening on the first day was very successful. When Qi Sheng settled the accounts at night, he found that the net profit in just one day could reach his salary for the past three months! Although there was a reason for the large number of passengers on the first day, this result is enough for Qi Sheng to be happy.
He has always maintained the frequency of adding four new sets of clothes every ten days. Although this speed is incomparable to the future, but in this era when logistics lags behind and the network basically does not exist, the speed of adding new clothes is definitely fast enough.
The constant new additions also kept the old customers in the store frequenting, and the number of new customers continued to increase, so when the Chinese New Year approached, the business of Mishang Clothing Store reached its peak this year.
Qi Sheng went to the south again before this, and this time he personally selected ten new sets, and he also designed two coat styles himself.
Factory Manager Xie looked at the unprofessional draft and was amazed: "Brother Qi, you got started too quickly, and now you design your own clothes!"
Qi Sheng smiled embarrassingly: "Don't laugh at me. During this time, whenever I have time, I read the magazines from Hong Kong and Taiwan. I read too much and wanted to try my hand at it, but I didn't The basics of painting are not very professional, and I have to ask you to help me find someone who understands this and improve it. I plan to make 50 pieces of each of these two coats."
Director Xie looked at the drawing carefully, and frowned a little: "You only make fifty pieces of these two styles? Is it a bit small? Didn't I say Brother Qi, I found that you are quite talented in the clothing industry, how long will it take?" I can come up with these new styles in time, anyway, I think these two models are no worse than those from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"
Qi Sheng smiled: "I plan to sell them as a limited edition for this year's Chinese New Year, so 50 pieces is already a lot, I originally wanted to have less."
Factory Manager Xie got an idea when he heard what he said, looked at Qi Sheng hesitantly for a moment, and said: "Do you think this is okay? You sell these two styles to me. Except for the fifty pieces you ordered, I guarantee other ready-made clothes It will not be lost to the mainland market, I really think your two models are good, and I want to try them in Hong Kong and Taiwan.”
Qi Sheng has no objection if he has money to make money. He doesn't have his own brand yet, and the awareness of clothing copyright is very weak now. Factory Manager Xie can propose to buy it, which shows that Qi Sheng's vision was right at the beginning.
The two of them handed over the copyright. After confirming the order style and quantity, Qi Sheng went back to Suzhou City first. The New Year is the peak sales season, so he had to continue to watch in the store.
Qi Sheng is not really a first-time businessman, so he arranged everything in the store in an orderly manner. Of course, even so, he did not expect that the two coats he designed were still causing a stir in the circle of celebrities in Suzhou City. There was a little disturbance.
Qi Sheng's prices for those two sets of clothes were relatively high, so except for those who were really not bad at money, there were still a few who could afford them, but even so, these two sets of clothes could be sold quickly when they were displayed, until the shopping guide in the store After clearly stating that there are only fifty pieces of each style, the speed of sales has been accelerated several times.
The people who bought the clothes were very happy, and those who didn’t buy them felt a little regretful at the beginning. In the end, when they thought about the price, they thought it was okay. It wasn’t until we visited relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year that we found out that the two clothes we missed happened to be in Hong Kong recently. Popular, and the price is even more expensive than Mishang Clothing Store! Those who bought clothes were surprised that their clothes could actually walk in front of the Hong Kong market. Those who did not buy clothes were not only curious about the background of the owner of Mi Shang, but also more of a pain in the flesh. Buy it, maybe now you can have a good time among relatives and friends!
Qi Sheng still doesn't know how popular those two coats are in Hong Kong City. At this moment, he has brought his wife and children back to Taoyang Village, an ordinary village in a prefecture-level county in Suzhou City, Qi Sheng's hometown.
On the way here, Miffy tried her best not to show her reluctance. She had made up her mind after the Chinese New Year last year, and insisted on taking Haohao to stay with her parents for the Chinese New Year even if it made this person unhappy. , but Qi Sheng has been too kind to her and Haohao in the past six months, she doesn't want to ruin his face during the Chinese New Year.
Thinking of the troubles that might still be faced in the future, Miffy comforted herself and said that it was only a few days, and it passed with persistence.
That being said, even before she came here, she encouraged Haohao so much, but thinking of her mother-in-law's face, Miffy was still very upset.
As a family of four, Qi Sheng originally wanted the eldest son to sit with him and the youngest son to sit next to his wife. It was not because he wanted to cultivate a relationship with the eldest son deliberately, but because of the nearly five-hour journey on the road, if the two The child was tired and sleepy, so he put the older one in his arms to sleep, and it would be easier for his wife to take care of the younger one. Unfortunately, this time the eldest son, who always liked to stay with him, chose to sit with his mother without saying a word. in one piece.
Qi Sheng looked at the mother and son with the same expressions of trying to be normal, and thought of the bullying they had received, he couldn't help feeling distressed.
Originally, a handsome young man who was considered promising in his hometown, suddenly marrying a divorced woman with a son without saying a word would naturally be criticized by others, but when he married Miffy, the old couple of the Qi family did not show any signs of They expressed strong dissatisfaction, especially Yuanshen's mother Li Lilan, who had a pretty good attitude towards Miffy.
After Miffy followed Yuanshen back to her hometown, she secretly thought about Yuanshen's parents, seeing that they didn't reject her, she decided to marry Yuanshen boldly.
It's a pity that Miffy didn't know what her future mother-in-law was really planning. It wasn't until after she gave birth to Lele that her mother-in-law Li Lilan's attitude really began to be revealed a little bit.
It was also at that time that Miffy began to suspect that Qi Sheng would pursue her because of her external conditions, but it was too late when she doubted this.
At that time, Lele was already born, and she couldn't bear the fact that this little guy who had just been born would not have a father or mother by her side so soon, and this doubt was just her own guess, maybe it was just a unilateral calculation by her mother-in-law, Qi Sheng didn't have her It's so unbearable.
Fortunately, after Lele was born, Qi Sheng was kind to Haohao as usual, so even though Miffy would be criticized every time her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, she still gritted her teeth and persisted in this marriage, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is getting worse and worse. Oops.
Qi Sheng knew Yuanshen's thoughts in his heart, he naturally knew his mother's thoughts, but if he himself was not for the future, he would not marry Miffy in the end, so when his mother and daughter-in-law had conflicts, Yuanshen would usually pretend not to see I don't understand how to confuse the past, and then show love for Qi Chenghao when his wife expresses doubts, so as to dispel his wife's doubts.
Thinking of the past, Qi Sheng naturally understood the reason why their mother and son were not in a good mood. Originally, Qi Sheng couldn't bear to let them go back together when he saw them both before departure, but if he followed Yuan's way of acting, this idea was completely impossible. Furthermore, running away is not the solution to the problem. The hearts of the two of them have been hurt by several trips to their hometown. Only by starting from there can the two of them feel at ease and trust him again.
