I trade in both worlds

"What kind of clothes do you want to make?" Xu Xu asked.

"Taichi clothes. They watched the video of you making clothes for the twins and asked for that style, but they wanted long sleeves."

"The kind that costs twelve thousand?" Xu Xu was calculating in his mind that thirty twelve thousand equals three hundred and sixty thousand. They made a fortune and he couldn't help but grin at Xu Ziqing.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Ziqing calmed down his excitement and communicated with the client: "I'll talk to the other party first."

Xu Xu's mood was so aroused by her that he had no mood to do anything. He simply continued to look through the information summarized by Xu Ziqing.

The third item is labeled lipstick, which is classified into lipstick and lipstick. The note also reads: I don’t know if lipstick tubes could be made in ancient times.

Xu Xu felt that lipstick should be the first product that could be implemented. Even if there was no lipstick tube, it could be put in a small ceramic jar and paired with a lip brush. She had seen this in a video and it seemed quite convenient.

The fourth item says goose egg powder, blush, eyebrow pencil, and eyeliner, but the content after that is blank.

The last item is about facial masks and facial mask papers. It also lists several mud masks and cotton cloth used as facial mask cloths, and the content below is also empty.

After reading it, seeing Xu Ziqing still typing on his phone, Xu Xu looked at the time. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. Xu Xu got up, took a plastic bag and put three buns in it. He also gave Xu Tiantian a red bean paste bun, then pushed the stroller out to pick up people from the kindergarten.

It was not until noon the next day that Xu Ziqing complained to Xu Xu: "Xu Xu, the other party has pushed the price too hard for this customization. Sigh, I don't even want to accept it."

"How much do they pay for a set?" Xu Xu asked while eating.

Xu Ziqing counted the accounts a few days ago. Excluding labor, water and electricity, the profit was more than 18,000 yuan, which was considered a profit. In addition, there were a lot of fabrics piled up in the studio.

From now on, whether it is customized or sold in the online store, it is considered net profit.

"Seven hundred yuan." Xu Ziqing picked up the rice with chopsticks: "They said they don't need handmade cloth, just the ones that cost a hundred yuan online."

"An adult will need at least twelve feet of cloth, which is four meters. Even if you buy it for a hundred yuan as you can online, the cloth alone will cost five or six hundred yuan. If you are tall, four meters of cloth will not be enough. What about the needles and thread? What about the labor?" Xu Xu calculated that this would be equivalent to losing money, so she would definitely not agree to it.

"That's right, it's really a loss-making business." Xu Ziqing said dejectedly, "So I don't want to take it."

"Who wants it? Why is the price so low?"

"They said they were from a Tai Chi Association. I guess they were just a group of old men and women who were doing square dancing. They might be going to some performance or competition and needed custom-made clothes."

"That's no wonder."

"I guess they paid for the custom-made clothes themselves, so they haggled with me for days."

“What’s your starting price?”

"Twelve thousand."

"Ah." Xu Xu was surprised: "Didn't you say that price was impossible that day?"

"Yes, but you still have to quote like this, leaving them room for bargaining. I quoted Song Qin 15,000 yuan at the beginning."

"I saw that they were from a Tai Chi Association, so I guess they wouldn't use very good materials, so I quoted them 12,000."

"So they spent three days bargaining with you from 12,000 to 700?"

"Alas." Xu Ziqing slumped his shoulders in frustration. "You don't know how they explained it. They asked if it would cost fifty yuan right away. It's a good thing they weren't here, otherwise I would have spit blood on their faces."

"I just said I didn't want to do it, so they added 5 yuan. Just imagine how much time it took to increase the price by 5 yuan to 700 yuan."

"Hahahaha..." Xu Xu laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe: "And then you took the initiative to reduce the price from 12,000 to 700?"

Xu Ziqing glanced at her and said, "Am I that stupid? They stopped at 700 yuan since last night and have been bargaining with me until now. I also stopped at 1,500 yuan and didn't reduce it by a cent."

"Actually, there is another way." Xu Xu picked up a shrimp and said as he peeled it.

"What's the solution?" Xu Ziqing looked at her expectantly. At least she could make money if she could take the job. As long as she could make money, everything would be fine.

"Let them buy the fabric themselves. We only pay for the needlework and labor. We charge one set..." Xu Xu thought for a moment and continued, "Two hundred yuan?"

"Is two hundred too little?" Xu Ziqing calculated that the labor cost for thirty sets was only six thousand yuan. It would take Xu Xu at least more than a month to make them, so the price was too low.

"No, two hundred is too little. No matter how fast you work, it will take more than a month. It will be a loss, so I'd better not do it." Xu Ziqing shook his head and decided not to take it.

"It's not bad actually. I don't need to design it. I have a sewing machine and I can make four sets a day after cutting." Xu Xu put the peeled shrimp into Xu Ziqing's bowl: "Eat well. It shouldn't affect your meal whether you accept it or not."

Xu Ziqing took a bite of shrimp fiercely: "Then tell them to provide the fabric themselves and charge them 200 yuan per set. If they want to do it, then do it. If they don't want to do it, then forget it."

"Okay." Xu Xu nodded in agreement.

Xu Ziqing put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up his phone, edited a message and sent it to the other party. He didn't care whether the other party replied or not, and continued to eat with his bowl.

The customization matter came to an end for the time being, and Xu Xu continued to talk about beauty products: "After reading the information you compiled earlier, I think we can make lipstick first."

"Lipstick?" Xu Ziqing looked at her in surprise: "Why did you think of doing this first?"

"Rose hydrosol is easy to make, but it would be difficult to find a large amount of roses in Dayun Dynasty. You want to sell the house, right? I think you can prepare a batch of lipsticks first, preferably with two or three colors, and sell a batch of goods together with the recipe."

"If it's pure water, people can start production right away after getting the recipe, but rose water will probably have to wait until next year at the earliest."

Xu Ziqing thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

You can sell the lipstick recipe first, and then sell the rose seeds, hydrosol and essential oil recipes together after a while.

With the credibility of lipstick, it will be much easier to sell hydrosols and essential oils: "Okay, let's do this."

"So what should we do next?" Xu Xu asked.

Xu Ziqing listened to the beeping of his phone and quickly finished the rice in his bowl: "Wait a minute, the custom order is here again. Let's deal with this first. Otherwise, there will always be a knot in my mind and I won't be able to concentrate on my work."

Xu Xu looked at him helplessly: "Okay, then you go and take care of this first."

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Xu Ziqing was still holding her cell phone, so Xu Xu simply went back to the workshop to continue her embroidery work.
