The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 207 Opening

Chapter 207 Opening

"It can't be too cheap." "Our business is all about getting the powerful and wealthy to buy from us; that's the only way we can make a lot of money." Chen Feng paced around the room, deep in thought.

"But that means we can only sell a small portion of what we need, since the majority are ordinary people."

"Oh, then what should we do?"

What does this mean? "We can distinguish between good and bad fabrics and let them choose for themselves. The styles of the clothes are the same, but the fabrics are different, so they feel different when worn. Therefore, let them choose the one that can meet their budget."

"Oh, that's a good idea, so they arranged for the tailors to prepare some good fabric and some bad fabric, and each made some clothes."

The tailor was quite surprised. Would anyone still want those expensive ones? After all, there were cheaper options, so why would anyone buy the expensive ones? But Chen Feng didn't care.

Some people are all about saving face; they'll definitely want the expensive stuff, and they're not short of money, that's what Chen Feng thought.

Sigh, I wonder how He Fei is doing now. The business is opening in a couple of days, and she hasn't sent anyone over yet. Chen Feng thought that he must let He Fei come and visit when the business opens.

That very night, He Fei's man arrived, saying that his master wanted to know the opening date, and she would try to make it happen. Chen Feng told him the specific date.

"The master said she would pretend to come to buy clothes that day, and hopes you won't recognize her." The guard then handed Chen Feng some clothing samples. He hadn't received many last time, so he sent someone to bring some more this time.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Feng knew whether He Fei wanted to reveal her true skill level, so he readily agreed. This was the opening day of the shop, which had a unique name: "A Completely New Look." It had already gained fame before its opening, so many people came today, mostly girls, drawn by the clothes inside; there were very few men.

However, some customers also bring their partners when they come to buy clothes.

Hua Wushang helped them choose from a wide selection of clothes. They had also hired several girls in the past few days, and these girls were all very eloquent. Before long, the people they introduced were all trying on clothes.

The shops she opened were also very different. She had prepared a separate room where people could try on clothes. This was something that none of the shops in Luoyang City had, so everyone was very curious. They went in to change clothes, and if they were satisfied, they came out wearing them.

Some people don't even want their old clothes anymore, but that's something the rich wouldn't dare do; the poor wouldn't.

Hua Wushang was wearing a pink long dress. Before anyone else had chosen, a girl took a liking to the dress she was wearing and said, "Give me one. I think this one looks good on you."

As more and more people arrived, the shop quickly ran out of clothes, including a few pieces left. One of the wealthy women who arrived late said, "Boss, why are there only a few clothes left? I only came because my maid at home said your clothes are very beautiful. How come there are only a few left?"

Hua Wushang said, "Miss, you've come at an inopportune time. Our clothes are almost sold out, but we can pre-order. Take a look at these styles and see which ones you like. We'll have someone take your measurements, and then you just need to call someone to pick them up in a while. But you'll need to pay a deposit first."

The woman was not short of money. She carefully selected her favorite styles from the photos that Hua Wushang brought. After looking at them for a while, she thought they were all very beautiful. She said she wanted one of each style, so how much deposit should she pay?

She was so straightforward that she didn't hold back and said, "We have clothes made of good fabric and some less good fabric. Which one do you want?"

Of course, that's the best.

When Hua Wushang heard him say that, she quoted him the most expensive price: these clothes add up to 10 pieces, each worth 100 taels, so you pay us a deposit of 500 taels, and you can bring the remaining 500 taels when the goods are delivered.

The young lady's maid was surprised. "Oh my, so expensive? Boss, are you trying to rob me?"

"You're wrong to say that. Our fabrics are all top-quality. The fabrics your daughter usually wears aren't as good as ours. Plus, our designs are very unique and not something most people can make. All these clothes together are worth the price."

The maid didn't understand the profound reasoning behind it, but the young lady said, "Okay, we'll give you this much," and took out five hundred taels from her pocket.

After all, a young lady is a young lady; she has a unique eye. She also knew that these clothes were worth the price, so she readily agreed. Hua Wushang understood the reason behind it.

The subsequent customer service went smoothly. Even though some people couldn't afford to buy anything and could only look from the outside, Hua Wushang remembered that she needed to create a new rule that would allow poor people to come in and buy clothes.

Hua Wushang was very excited to have such good results on the first day of business.

Chen Feng said He Fei would come today, but I don't know why she hasn't come yet. Let's wait a little longer, but there are only a few pieces of clothing left in the store.

A short while later, He Fei arrived with a group of people. The group stayed outside, while only He Fei and her maid entered.

Chen Feng said, "Miss, what would you like to buy? These are all the styles we have here. If you like any of them, please choose one."

He Fei glanced at them and started picking out the clothes.

"Boss, is this all the clothes you have here?"

Hua Wushang stepped forward. She knew that Chen Feng had told her that He Fei was coming today, and that he had pretended not to know her. So she stood up and said to He Fei, "Miss, you're too late. All the clothes here were sold out before you arrived. There are only a few left."

"Oh, so this dress is so popular."

Hua Wushang said yes to her, "Miss, don't underestimate these clothes. They were all snatched up as soon as they arrived. They're very beautiful."

“All of our clothes are designed by one person, and we find skilled tailors to make them.”

He Fei wasn't worried when she saw him say that, so it seemed that the clothing store business should be very good.

Picking through these clothes, they weren't particularly attractive to He Fei. After all, they weren't among her more outstanding designs.

Hua Wushang noticed that he wasn't very interested, so she said to him, "Miss, we can take orders here. If you don't like anything there, you can choose a few items from me, and we'll make them for you. You'll need to pay a deposit, and then you can pay the rest yourself when you come back later."
