Gu Xiaochun was a softhearted person. Seeing what Qingchuan said was pitiful, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Well then, you can go back with me first."
Qingchuan was overjoyed and even claimed to be thankful, and followed Gu Xiaochun into the Gu Ji clothing store. Seeing a lot of beautifully colored and well-made ready-to-wear garments in the shop, the business was very bleak, and there was not even a single customer. Qingchuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Gu Xiaochun relieved the burden on her body and shouted at the inner hall: "Mother, mother."
A middle-aged woman came out from the inner hall, dressed plainly, neatly and neatly. She should have been a pretty girl when she was young, but her face is faintly sad, frowning, it is obvious that she is not too comfortable in life. . The woman was very happy to see Gu Xiaochun coming back, so she stretched her frowning brows and smiled slightly: "Xiaochun, I'm back." In a blink of an eye, she saw Gu Xiaochun with a beautiful young girl behind her, she couldn't help but not help. For a moment, he asked Gu Xiaochun: "This is..."
When Gu Xiaochun saw her mother asked, she said smoothly: "Yeah..." She opened her mouth and realized that she didn't know what the girl's name was. She couldn't help but smiled and turned to ask Qingchuan, "By the way, what's your name?" "
Qingchuan quickly replied: "My last name is Luo, and my name is Luo Qingchuan."
Gu Xiaochun explained to her mother: "She came to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives. The relatives have moved and there is nowhere to go. I want to ask her to come to our store to help."
Gu's mother originally thought that Qingchuan was the customer brought by her son to buy the clothes, but now she heard that she was here to help, she was a little disappointed, and her brows wrinkled again, and she stopped talking to Qingchuan, and then turned to ask Gu Xiaochun. Said: "Did you sell your clothes when you went to Chengde this time?"
Gu Xiaochun shook her head embarrassedly.
Not a single piece of clothing was sold, but Gu Xiaochun brought back a meal! The disappointment on Gu's mother's face became thicker, and her brows wrinkled more tightly. She couldn't help but say: "Look, look, our shop has been passed down from your father to today, for ten years. The clothes sold are not enough for our mother and child. If this goes on, let alone ask for help at home, it will be a problem to eat by ourselves."
Gu Xiaochun knew what his mother said, but when he saw Qingchuan’s pity, he couldn’t help rejecting Qingchuan’s request. Hearing his mother’s complaint, he glanced at Qingchuan who was looking at clothes in the shop and whispered for him. Qingchuan said, "She is really pitiful."
Gu's mother said, "I think you are even more pitiful!" He covered his heart and sighed aside, and stopped talking to the two of them.
Although Qingchuan over there was looking at the clothes, she listened to the conversations between Gu Xiaochun's mother and her son. When she saw Gu's mother complaining about her son, she guessed that Gu's mother was worried that she was eating rice here. The only plan now is to ask Gu's mother to watch. You can't be driven out until you use it. Qingchuan deliberately exclaimed: "Wow, Xiaochun, your clothes are very beautiful, why can't you sell them?"
When Mother Gu heard this, she felt even more upset. She pointed to her son and complained to Qingchuan: "The problem lies with him. You said, he doesn't operate a good clothing store, so he has to draw patterns and make his own style. , Now it’s okay, everyone is shocked to see it, no one dared to buy it."
Qingchuan also discovered this problem. The clothes here are very good in terms of materials and workmanship, but the style is slightly different from what she sees these days. In modern terms, this is called creativity, and it is to be sought after, but people in this era are mostly clinging to the rules and it is not easy to try new things.
You have to think of a way to tell the people outside to really see the benefits of these clothes! Qingchuan thought to himself.
Xiaochun on the side continued: "You can't stick to the rules when making clothes. It's boring to wear the same clothes forever."
"Yes, you are hungry if you are interested." Gu's mother gave Xiaochun an angry glance, then turned her head to persuade Qingchuan to say: "Girl, I advise you not to do it in this clothing store, and look for it elsewhere. Work, or one day you will starve to death with our two mothers and children."
Qingchuan kept staring at the ready-to-wear garments hanging on the shelves, and suddenly there was a solution in his mind. Listening to Gu's mother persuading herself to leave, Qingchuan smiled confidently, patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, with me, you will not only not starve to death, but you will also make a lot of money."
Gu's mother looked at Qingchuan in amazement, secretly asking whether this girl is a fool? This shop often fails to sell a piece of clothing for several days. How dare she pack up tickets and say to make a lot of money? Mother Gu couldn't help reaching out and touching Qingchuan's forehead, "You don't have a fever, right?"
Qingchuan smiled and pushed away Gu's mother's hand, walked to Gu Xiaochun and stood still, and asked, "How many silver taels can you make now?"
Gu Xiaochun was taken aback by Qingchuan's question, and Gu's mother looked at Qingchuan defensively and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Qingchuan smiled mysteriously and said: "You want you to make money. As long as you can listen to my arrangements, I guarantee that your ready-made clothes will be sold on sale and in short supply!"
Set up a runway in front of the shop, imitating the modern T-shaped stage, and hire a few young and beautiful dancers, just telling them to stand and walk on the stage in the bright and beautiful clothes in the shop, Gu Ji Garment Shop Qian Qian was immediately surrounded by the crowd watching the lively.
Qingchuan, who is also a director, dramatist, and stylist, wore ordinary clothes, drank plenty of water, soothed his throat, stood on the side of the stage and shouted: "Come on, take a look, take a look At first glance, the most beautiful clothes in Beijing are here. Don't miss it when you pass by."
With such a shout, more people gathered around her. While looking at the dancers on the show stage with novel eyes, she whispered and pointed from time to time.
Gu Xiaochun had already moved all the containers to the door of the store in advance according to Qingchuan's instructions, and guarded them with his mother. Seeing so many people all at once, Gu's mother was both pleasantly surprised and worried, and asked Gu Xiaochun, "Can she do this?"
Gu Xiaochun is an optimistic person by nature. He looked at the crowds in front of the show, and then at Qingchuan who was yelling hard on the stage. He smiled and said, "Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor. It will cost a few people to build a stage. Not much money, if it really works, it is also a way out."
Qingchuan over there is full of tongues and lotus flowers. The clothes made by Gu Xiaochun are almost full of flowers. In addition, the singers who are models are all young and beautiful, and they wear these clothes. The best results have attracted many people in the crowd.
I heard someone in the audience point to a piece of clothing and talk: "Hey, this dress seems to be really good-looking."
The person next to him hesitated: "Is the style too fancy?"
Qingchuan listened to all directions on the stage, watching all directions, paying close attention to the reactions of the crowd, listening to the discussion of the two people, and quickly said: "No fancy or fancy, now all the people in the capital wear this kind of clothes. "
The expressions of the two men were still a little hesitant. As soon as Qingchuan gritted his teeth, he brought out the killer, and said with a grin: "Auntie, I told you that today is the first time this store has a promotional activity. If you buy one, I will give you one. After today, I will give you one. There is no such good thing anymore."
With that said, someone in the crowd was really moved, and immediately squeezed to Gu Xiaochun's container to pick out clothes. Chinese people like to join in the fun with the crowds. Once they bought it, everyone around them would have to buy it. When they came back, everyone was vying.
Qingchuan has a good time, buy one get one free, and take advantage of your greedy psychology! This is a trick that many merchants tried unsuccessfully in the 21st century, and it worked as usual in the Qing Dynasty!
"Xiaochun! Collect money!" Qingchuan exclaimed.
When Gu Xiaochun saw so many people rushing to buy clothes, he was overjoyed and replied loudly, "Good!"
Several people were busy, and soon sold a lot of clothes. Qingchuan shouted with a hoarse voice on the stage, and finally took a moment to get off the stage for a drink, but inadvertently saw a luxuriously decorated carriage parked behind the crowd. A woman in costume was standing next to the car supported by a maid. Is looking over here silently.
Qingchuan saw that this woman was dressed luxuriously, her gestures and gestures faintly revealed the taste of wealthy people, but when she saw the excitement here, she was reluctant to move, and she didn't come to take a closer look. Although the clothes on the body are of good quality and workmanship, but the style is average, I can’t help thinking. For ordinary people, although they can take the road of small profits but quicker sales, they waste Gu Xiaochun’s design talent. If you can attract some wealthy people. For customers, they can make more money by doing some customized business.
Thinking of this, Qingchuan put down the kettle, squeezed out the crowd, greeted the woman with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Madam, would you like to come in and see our new clothes? Our clothes are all beautiful."
When the woman heard this, she fell silent. She didn't even look at Qingchuan. She said indifferently: "The clothes are beautiful, but what's the use of no one to look at them?"
Qingchuan’s own ideas are very simple. The biggest benefit of wearing new clothes is that he is happy in his heart, not for the sake of showing someone. However, most of the women of this era are husbands, and she doesn't have to argue with this person about this kind of thing, not to mention that she still wants to recruit this woman as a client. He smiled and said, "You can show it to your husband."
A wry smile hung on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she whispered: "If he doesn't even look at you, how can you expect him to look at your clothes?"
Qingchuan looked at the woman carefully, and saw that her eyes were only on the crowded crowd, not like looking at clothes, but like just watching the crowd. Qingchuan suddenly understood that, oh, she turned out to be a deep-seated woman, no wonder she would say such things.
Qingchuan thought for a while, and said, "Then we have to find a way to save his heart. If you pity and mourn all day long, and you don't even have the mood to dress up, how can you make your husband change his mind?"
When the woman heard this, she turned her gaze back, looked up and down Qingchuan, and asked hesitantly: "Can you change your mind?"
"Of course!" Qingchuan smiled, then turned around and pointed at the clothing store, pretending to be mysteriously whispering to the woman: "Look at the clothing store behind me, originally it was not able to sell a few clothes for ten years. Yes, but I am here, you have already seen how the business is!"
The woman turned her head to look at the crowd in front of the shop again, her eyes lit up slightly, and when she turned her head to look at Qingchuan, the expression on her face had eased a lot, and she nodded at Qingchuan and sighed in a low voice: "Yeah, if only you were a clever person beside me."
Said and ordered the maid next to him: "Let's go."
The maid hurriedly helped the woman onto the carriage respectfully, and the carriage driver shook his whip, and the carriage walked on its own.
Qingchuan looked a little silly from behind, huh? She spent so much tongue, this woman left without buying a single piece of clothing? OMG! Too bad! Qingchuan murmured a few words in dissatisfaction, but didn't have the time to complain too much, and quickly walked over to other rich women dressed and dressed.
If this doesn't work, please quickly lobby for the next one. You have to think that Gu Xiaochun's business will get hot! In order to eat and wear during the days here, Qingchuan is very motivated!
After a few days in a row, Gu Xiaochun bought more than half of the clothes that he had accumulated in his shop for several years. Gu's mother almost confessed Qingchuan as a bodhisattva, and almost obeyed her. Gu Xiaochun was also very grateful to Qingchuan and valued it very much.
That day, Qingchuan again hung the clothes in the shop on hangers, holding them hard to put them outside the shop. Gu Xiaochun hurriedly took the hanger from Qingchuan's arms when he saw it, and asked Qingchuan as he moved it out: "Why do you have to put good clothes outside? Isn't it easy to get damaged by the wind and sun?"
