I trade in both worlds

"If it's more than 30 sets and can be finished in a month, I don't think it's a big problem and I can take them all." Xu Xu thought about it. With her speed, as long as she doesn't embroider and with the help of the sewing machine, she can make three or four sets a day.

Xu Ziqing rolled her eyes at her: "What if there is another order tomorrow?"

"Ah? Is there any tomorrow?" Xu Xu was confused.

"Yes, do you think we should find a factory to place an order?" Xu Ziqing thought about it for the whole afternoon. She would have a heart attack if she had too many orders and couldn't take them all.

Xu Xu thought about it and frowned slightly: "If we place an order with a factory, the output will definitely increase, but the quality will be difficult to guarantee. The reason why our Hanfu is popular is because it is purely handmade. If we lose this feature, I am afraid that customers will be disappointed."

Xu Ziqing nodded in agreement: "You are right. What about hiring employees? This way we can guarantee a certain output while maintaining relatively high quality."

Xu Xu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "Hiring employees can indeed solve the problem to a certain extent, but our place is so small that we won't be able to accommodate more people. Besides, our current income is already very good, so we should try our best to do as much as we can."

Xu Ziqing pondered for a moment: "Although the store is popular now, we can't change our original intention because of the temporary popularity. Pure handmade customization is our feature and our advantage. As long as we maintain this feature, I believe that customers will always support us."

"Then we will continue to insist on pure handmade customization and not hire anyone." Xu Xu replied

Xu Ziqing's eyes flashed with determination: "Yes, I won't hire anyone, I won't forget my original intention, I will insist on pure handmade customization."

"Okay." Xu Xu smiled brightly at Xu Ziqing: "What about these orders now? Should we accept them or not?"

"If you accept it, how many sets can you do in a month?" Xu Ziqing thought for a while and asked

Then he added: "Leave the weekends out and calculate the workload based on five days a week."

"As long as it's not too complicated and doesn't require embroidery, I can make two or three sets a day." Xu Xu thought for a moment and replied.

Xu Ziqing replied: "Then we will arrange the schedule according to the order of the orders. If they can wait, we will do it. If they can't wait, we won't accept them."

"Okay." Xu Xu nodded with a smile.

"One more thing." Xu Ziqing suddenly remembered his plan for the afternoon: "From now on, except for old customers, all customized orders will be 18,000 yuan per set, no bargaining."

"Why did the price suddenly increase?" Xu Xu asked in confusion.

"There's no price increase. Our original price was 18,000 yuan. We just gave a discount to old customers. Now we're returning to the original price." Xu Ziqing was very thankful. Before, when he went out to measure the sizes of people, he always said 18,000 yuan per set.

"Will it be too expensive?" Xu Xu asked a little worriedly.

"It's not expensive. Why should it be expensive? Ours is a real luxury product." Xu Ziqing said proudly.

Xu Xu smiled. She actually couldn't understand modern luxury goods. A bag containing personal belongings could cost tens of thousands.

She felt that if she found a piece of cloth and sewed a few flowers on it, it would be no worse than that one, but the price was a hundred or a thousand times different.

Xu Ziqing thought about how busy he would be in the future and was a little reluctant to take on so many orders: "In fact, if we make four or five sets a month, and each set costs 18,000, the monthly income is also considerable."

Xu Xu looked at her suspiciously, "Just now you wanted to find a factory, why don't you want to take it now?"

"Just now is just now, now is now, we are pursuing quality, not quantity." Xu Ziqing thought for a while and said firmly: "We should not accept so many orders."

"But four or five sets a month is too few. How about four or five sets a week?" This is only Xu Xu's workload for two or three days. If he doesn't take orders, what will he do with the rest of the time?

"Aren't you going to take the embroidery job?" Xu Ziqing asked.

"I won't take it for now. I'm not short of money right now." Xu Xu felt something was wrong and continued, "But I'm short of RMB."

"What kind of money do you need?" Xu Ziqing looked at her suspiciously. "Five sets a month, that's 5 yuan in income. After deducting the cost, each of us can get at least 9 yuan. This income is already very high."

Xu Xu smiled embarrassedly: "But I can finish four or five sets in two or three days. What should I do in the rest of the time if I don't take orders?"

"Just think about it, we work one week a month, and you can do whatever you want in the remaining three weeks, or do nothing and just lie down at home. Just think about how wonderful life would be like this." Xu Ziqing just wanted to take orders in a Buddhist way.

"Even if you take 30 orders a month, you'll only be busy for 20 days. You can do whatever you want the rest of the time." Xu Xu retorted.

"Then we can only accept 15 sets a month at most, no more." Xu Ziqing compromised after thinking about it.

After saying that, he saw Xu Xu wanted to speak, and then interrupted: "We still have to go to the customer to measure the dimensions, so this time must also be taken into account."

"Okay." Xu Xu agreed reluctantly.

Xu Ziqing began to communicate with customers about the customization details in the background. She patiently explained the price, production cycle and delivery date. However, not all customers can understand their pricing and production cycle.

The first customer was a woman named Cici, who was a Hanfu enthusiast and a die-hard fan of Song Qin, but she was also an ordinary office worker.

After seeing the price, she said directly: "Your price is too expensive!"

Xu Ziqing explained: "Dear, our Hanfu are all handmade, and the fabric is natural silk hand-woven satin. This fabric costs at least 4 yuan per meter, and a set of adult clothes starts at at least meters of fabric."

Cici looked at it and felt a little shaken, but still felt that the price was a bit high.

Seeing this, Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and added: "Actually, you can consider our package service. If you customize three or more sets of Hanfu at one time, we can give you a discount of 3,000 yuan."

Cici thought about it and finally decided to place an order for a custom suit: "Although your price is a bit high, it is still worth it to wear the same Hanfu produced by my idol."

The second one was a male customer of KK998. He was eager to participate in a Hanfu event, and was very dissatisfied when he saw that the delivery cycle would take twenty days.

"Do I have to wait so long? I'm in a hurry to wear it!" he said anxiously.

Xu Ziqing understood his feelings and explained, "I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. Because our Hanfu is all handmade, the lead time will be a little longer. We will arrange delivery according to the order time sequence and try to ensure that the production is completed before your event."
