In the evening, Guo Xiang stayed at his mother's house. After dinner, he asked Wang Chuyu if the clothes he had designed were made later.
"Yes, but only two sets were made. At that time, we asked for some fabric samples through the last foreign trade company and made four sets of samples. However, imported fabrics were too expensive. Later, Mr. Thomas didn't ask for them, so he used our own fabrics, so he only made two sets. "
"But these two sets are also 1000 pieces each, and they still made some money." Wang Chuyu said.
Guo Xiang nodded. It is still a little difficult to export now. After all, domestic clothing is still far inferior to foreign clothing.
"Brother, I think we can make our own brand and store first." Guo Xiang said.
"What is a specialty store?" Wang Chuyu asked.
At present, there is no concept of exclusive stores. Exclusive stores only rose in the 1990s.
Some sports brands such as Meibang and Li Ning, as well as Western-style clothing brands such as Shanshan and Youngor, have done a lot in future generations, and some even become listed companies, so making clothing can also be bigger.
"A store only sells clothes of one brand, and it is our own brand." Guo Xiang said, "for example, we can register a trademark, called Mingya, and then open our own store, which only sells our Mingya clothes."
"Only our own?" Wang Chuyu frowned. "We have too few styles now."
"Yes, that's the problem. So I suggest that in the future, the factory should set up a design department, go to the clothing school to recruit students, and even spend money on a design competition to attract some design talents into the company. "
"Then design clothes all year round, various styles, which can meet the needs of all aspects. In this way, if a person wants to buy clothes and can buy everything he needs once in the store, will business be very good? "
"Moreover, we produce and sell by ourselves, saving the intermediate links, maximizing profits and making more."
"Of course, this is based on good quality and novel styles, so if you want to do a specialty store well, all aspects of the requirements will be much higher than ordinary stores." Guo Xiang said.
"In fact, there are many such stores abroad. We can learn from them and make an innovation in China. There will be more and more such stores in the future." Guo Xiang added that this would not make his idea too abrupt.
Wang Chongming nodded. "I think Xiangxiang's idea is very good. We can try."
Wang Chuyu also nodded. His sister's ideas are always bold and innovative, which gives them a lot of inspiration.
"Dad, I think we can really try a specialty store after the first month." Wang Chuyu said.
Guo Xiang smiled. As long as they have this idea, they can't control what they do. As long as they take the lead, they will get better and better in the future.
After lunch the next day, Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan went home and took the photos for development.
It took a day for the photos to be developed. I bought two photo albums in the photo studio and sent them the photos I had taken for the little couple.
In the next few days, Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan were also busy paying New Year's greetings. There were always some relatives of the two families, and teacher song went to pay New Year's greetings.
On the sixth day of junior high school, Guo Xiang received a call from Chen Yu.
She was surprised, "Chen Yu, where are you now? Are you still in the disaster area? "
"No, I came back years ago. I went home for the new year. I just came out of home and went back to the hospital." Chen Yu said.
"That's great. Let's have dinner together?" Guo Xiang said.
"I'm going to visit. I'm afraid you're not at home, so I'll call and tell me your address. I'll go there now." Chen Yu said.
"OK, I'll wait for you!" Guo Xiang nodded and told Chen Yu his address.
"The girl I met last time I went to southern Yunnan?" Gu Zhennan asked, "do you still have contact?"
"Well, I happened to meet Mu Qing on her birthday. It's also a fate, and I think I can talk to her very well. It's good to have another friend in the capital." Guo Xiang said.
Gu Zhennan nodded.
After about an hour, there was a knock on the door, "it must be Chen Yu!" Guo Xiang hurried out to meet him.
Little Q ran out and barked through the door when he smelled a strange smell.
"It's the guest. Don't shout!" Guo Xiang pointed to little Q, "sit down!"
Little Q sat down and wagged his tail.
Opening the door, Chen Yu came in carrying the annual ceremony.
"Guo Xiang, long time no see!" Chen Yu hugged Guo Xiang. Seeing that the hostess and guests were so friendly, Xiao Q sniffed around her feet and included her in the list of guests who could be released.
"Long time no see!" Guo Xiang smiled, "how's it going in the disaster area? It's hard!"
"Fortunately, at least we have returned home for the new year, and many comrades in arms are still there." Chen Yu chuckled.
"They are very hard." Guo Xiang nodded.
Chen Yu offered the specialties brought from the Shanghai stock market, "I didn't know that Yi Zichen was also in the Shanghai stock market until I came home this time."
"Did you see him?" Guo Xiang was surprised.
Chen Yu nodded, "so coincidentally, the place where he lives is my classmate's aunt's house. I didn't know you had been to Shanghai until I came home this time."
"Is Lin Jin your classmate?" Guo Xiang was surprised that the world was really small.
"Yes, and she is also my best friend." Chen Yu said, "I didn't know about Yi Zichen until I came home this time. I knew that he met something in the Shanghai stock market. Lin Jin helped him. Now he seems to be chasing Lin Jin."
"Really? This is a good thing! " Guo Xiang smiled and took Chen Yu into the room. "Yi Zichen is a good person. Although I don't know Lin Jin, I thought it was very good when I met him last time. If they can be together, I'm very optimistic."
"My classmate is always careless and not gentle enough. I didn't expect a businessman like Yi Zichen to like her. It's all fate." Chen Yu smiled.
"I heard you still want to buy a house in Shanghai?" Chen Yu looked at the yard and said, "I didn't expect you to be a rich woman!"
Guo Xiang smiled, "what rich woman, she made a few money in the Northeast before. She wants to buy more industries. She doesn't worry about having a house."
"That's true. Like Lin Jin's aunt, she has that building. Even if she doesn't work, she has enough money to spend." Chen Yu nodded.
"I came here to bring news. Aunt Yu helped you see two houses, one is Shikumen building and the other is a garden house. I heard they are very good. I asked you if you want to go and have a look."
Chen Yu said, "Yi Zichen didn't call you when he knew I was coming. He said it might be better to tell you face to face."
"Well, I have nothing to do at this time. I can go and have a look." Guo Xiang said.
At noon, Guo Xiang left Chen Yu to eat at home. She was not polite.
At dinner, Guo Xiang introduced Chen Yu to Gu Xide. He was very happy to hear that Chen Yu was a doctor in the military hospital. He had been a soldier before. He felt very kind when he heard that there were troops.
