Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 73 Style Determination
Wu Jingyuan came this time to show Li Xunli the final brooch and button styles.

The samples had been delivered a long time ago. What Zhang Hengyun said was just a polite remark. She was busy with the troupe's big play during the New Year and had no time to come. Even the accessories were taken away by someone else.

With the sample clothes and the confirmed accessory styles, Wu Jingyuan is discussing with Li Xunli about making a physical copy to see how they match.

However, in order to reduce the weight as much as possible, the size and style of the corsage are designed to be intertwined with branches, and the length is only about the length of two finger joints.

The most suitable ceramics for making porcelain ornaments are generally porcelain ceramics and glazed ceramics, but the cost of glazed ceramics is too high, which does not fit Wu Jingyuan's budget. In addition, glazed ceramics are not easy to make, so Li Xunli finally decided to use a mixture of porcelain and ceramics as the main material for this boutonniere.

Wu Jingyuan listened to Li Xunli's detailed explanation. Although he didn't understand much, he kept nodding.

"Then comes the choice of glaze color. I will decide the main color and matching color according to the pattern of the corsage, is that okay?" Li Xunli looked at the several patterns on the drawing. She drew them very carefully and also presented the characteristics of each flower.

But a painting is a painting, and the final product cannot be guaranteed to be exactly the same as the drawing.

Especially since Li Xunli herself is not an expert in painting, she can only try to get as close as possible by making some modifications bit by bit.

The rest depends on the glaze color.

Wu Jingyuan certainly had no objection. "Okay, give me a call when you're done and I'll come over to take a look."

Li Xunli nodded, then continued, "For buttons, are they the same color as the brooch? Or do I have a batch of raw materials that can be used to make jade mud? I bought some last time, and you've seen the finished product. Do you want to make buttons with that jade texture?"

Wu Jingyuan thought for a while and replied, "Make a batch of the same color and a batch of jade-like ones. I have to go back and change the color of the clothes so that they can match better."

The two of them continued to discuss a lot of details.

Wu Jingyuan and Li Xunli would occasionally have a disagreement or two, but in the end, for the sake of the desired effect, Wu Jingyuan gave in, took out the pen he carried with him, and drew the modified style they had discussed at the bottom of the drawing.

The final issue discussed was the quantity.

The originally mentioned quantity was not enough because Li Xunli was the only one who could produce it at that time. However, Wu Jingyuan wanted to increase the quantity a little bit, otherwise it would not be enough for the several larger first- and second-tier cities he had opened up in the past two months.

Shen Qingqing had been listening nearby. After hearing Wu Jingyuan's request, she waited until he finished speaking before speaking to Li Xunli, "Uncle Jingyuan, if you put all the products on the shelves for sale simultaneously, my mother would die of exhaustion and still not be able to meet your needs. Besides, the sales effect wouldn't be very good."

Wu Jingyuan was stunned. "How can it be bad? The blind box set is a gimmick, and I don't plan to release it for a long time. I also understand the tactics of hunger marketing!"

"Then you also have to know how to use a small part to break the whole, and let the rich lead the poor!" Shen Qingqing blinked and said mischievously.

Wu Jingyuan hissed, but didn't understand. "Qingqing, just say it!"

Shen Qingqing chuckled twice: "Nowadays, everyone likes to buy clothes and wear what's trendy in big cities. If something isn't available in big cities or isn't popular, then we can only sell it off at a low price."

"So, Uncle Jingyuan, you should focus on opening up the market for this clothing in the early stages, and then radiate the trend from big cities to other third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-tier cities. You won't even have to promote it yourself; people will want to ask local clothing stores if they have it."

Wu Jingyuan understood immediately after being prompted by Shen Qingqing. "If I can launch new blind boxes and new colors and styles at that time..."

Shen Qingqing proudly raised her head, revealing a proud expression that said, "Praise me quickly."

Wu Jingyuan was naturally happy to cooperate with her, immediately launching into a wave of flattery. The price had only been a simple transaction limit, but additional terms would be needed later. However, these weren't simply discussed with Li Xunli, but rather a formal discussion between Li Xunjin and Li Xunli.

After all, Li Xunli is now a brand owner, and it is a sub-brand under the name of Li Xunjin's company. The issue of profits cannot be discussed without talking to Li Xunjin.

And after talking with Shen Qingqing, Wu Jingyuan came up with a new sales idea. He needed Li Xunli to do more button coordination, so the previously negotiated contract would probably have to be invalidated and renegotiated.

Wu Jingyuan's thoughts raced, and he said to Li Xunli, "Xunli, I'll have Xunjin call you in a couple of days, and we'll discuss the remuneration again."

Li Xunli glanced at him with some confusion, "Wasn't this something we had already agreed on?"

"I didn't think it through before, and I didn't know that your brand is under the name of Xunjin Company, so we have to discuss it again." Wu Jingyuan said.

Li Xunli thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Wu Jingyuan left after he finished speaking. After Shen Qingqing watched his back disappear outside the porcelain kiln, she secretly whispered to Li Xunli that she had gone to her uncle's company to get the money and kept it at home.

Li Xunli was shocked. "No one saw us, did they?"

Shen Qingqing scratched his head and frowned as he thought for a while. "Probably not. I came back in my grandfather's car. The things were packed tightly and placed under the car seat. Then I took them back."

Li Xunli thought about it, but still felt uneasy: "Then don't go back yet. Go back with Mom in the evening. The door is locked, right?"

Shen Qingqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Okay, then you go take Yangyang out to play. She should be playing with Manyu right now." Li Xunli waved her hand and let Shen Qingqing do what she wanted.

She was preparing to mix the clay for the corsage.

Shen Qingqing skipped away.

Chen Manyu usually stayed where the ingredients were being pounded, or else he would carry the selected ingredients ready for washing to the small river behind.

The loud noise of pounding ingredients had not stopped yet, so I knew someone was there without even thinking.

As soon as Shen Qingqing walked over, she saw Shen Yangyang holding a familiar small card album in her hand. She put it down from time to time, flipped through it, and then raised it again.

She didn't know what was going on until she got closer and heard Chen Manyu pointing at the card Shen Yangyang had turned over and saying loudly, "Crane!"

Shen Yangyang took it down and took a look. She couldn't understand it either, but that didn't stop her from giving it enough emotional value. She opened her mouth and shouted, "That's right! That's amazing!"

As a result, when Shen Qingqing walked over and took a look, she saw that it was a "雏", which was similar in meaning to the word "鹤".

Shen Qingqing suddenly felt like the sky was falling. She didn't know how many times Shen Yangyang had played this game with Chen Manyu before, and how many words had Chen Manyu misread due to Shen Yangyang's blind praise!
She stepped forward and easily took the small card from Shen Yangyang's hand, flipped back to the word "雏" and corrected Chen Manyu: "Brother Manyu, this word is pronounced '雏', ch-ú-chú!"
