The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

This was also the first time that Lady Wang was discussing this kind of business, and she felt unsure. Seeing that Mu Qingcheng was silent, she hurriedly said, "This is also my first time doing this business, and I'm unsure. I'm also afraid that I'll fail miserably and end up losing money. How about we split the profits 40% to 60%, with you taking 60% and me taking 40%?"

Mu Qingcheng laughed and said, "I don't like the number four. Let's split it 30-70. I'll take 30 and you take 70."

"What?" Lady Wang was afraid she had misheard. "Did the young lady say it the other way around?"

Mu Qingcheng laughed out loud: "I didn't say the other way around, it's just three for me and seven for you. However, if we want to make this deal work, and we want to keep it going for a long time, we can't just rely on this one package. Besides, the strength of just the two of us isn't enough, we need to bring in one more person."

Madam Wang was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Madam Zhou, who also didn't quite understand, so they both looked at Mu Qingcheng.

Mu Qingcheng explained to them, "This bag isn't complicated. An expert like Madam Wang can quickly imitate it with a ready-made bag."

Madam Wang and Madam Zhou understood immediately and said anxiously, "That's right. Why didn't I think of that?"

"Besides, every wealthy family has an embroiderer. An embroiderer can easily copy a batch of something just by looking at it. Why bother buying it? Backpacks are sure to be popular, but making money from them is hard."

The two of them were immediately deflated. Mu Qingcheng laughed secretly in her heart. Such a good opportunity to make money cannot be missed. If one bag is not enough to sell, then she might as well steal all the bags in the mall and sell them!

"If we want to make money, we must work together as a partnership."

When Madam Wang heard that Madam Zhou was going to be dragged into the effort, she immediately expressed her stance.

"I have no objection to getting Sister Zhou to join us. We'll all listen to you, Miss. As for the profits, I think we should split it three ways. Sister Zhou and I will each take 30%, and you will take 40%. How do you think?"

"I have no objection!" Madam Zhou raised her hand to express her opinion.

Mu Qingcheng thought about it and realized that whoever has more shares has the right to speak. Thinking of this, she no longer refused.

"Girl, tell me, what should we do?" Both of them looked at Mu Qingcheng with shining eyes.

This was their first shareholder meeting. Mu Qingcheng was confident they would succeed, her confidence stemming from the mature business model of later generations.

She stood up and spoke with great enthusiasm.

“If we want to monopolize the backpack business, we must first choose a good sales point. It is best to find a strong merchant in the capital city that has branches in various counties and towns. The advantage of this is that the goods can be distributed quickly and our backpacks can be promoted quickly.

The second step is to constantly update new bags so that those who want to copy and imitate us will never be able to keep up with our speed of update, and those who imitate us can only eat the leftovers we leave. Our constant update of new styles can also win the hearts of customers and keep them looking forward to our products.

The third step is to expand the scale of production. Madam Wang, you can't produce enough to cover the entire provincial capital even if you work yourself to death. It would be better to recruit a few embroiderers with good skills and open a bag-making workshop.

The fourth step is that now that we have a workshop, our bags must have a nice name. In the future, each bag will have our name embroidered on it so that customers can distinguish between genuine and fake products. They will recognize our brand, and this will give us a name.

In fact, Mu Qingcheng also has the fifth step and the sixth step... She just didn't tell them. This is the direction of Bao's later development. If she told them now, they would not understand at all.

The backpack workshop's initial target is the general public. Once the bags are widely marketed, it's inevitable that many will follow suit. At that point, abandoning the mass market and targeting the wealthy and privileged would be the ideal path forward. They should focus on high-end products, including boutiques and affordable luxury goods. This is for later stages; the foundation must be laid first.

Later, once her handbags are fully updated, she'll launch peripheral products like clothing and accessories. By then, when she has some free time, she can also create a batch of soaps, bath products, perfumes, skincare, and the like. Earning money from women is easy anyway.

Mu Qingcheng's words stunned both of them. They were shocked by the little girl in front of them.

Yun Qing also heard it in the house. At first, he did not approve of her doing business with Lady Wang. He also thought that the bag was too simple. Most women in the Great Qi Kingdom were good at needlework. Who would be willing to pay for a bag that could be made at a glance?

But after hearing Mu Qingcheng's plan, Yun Qing was also amazed. This wasn't just a brilliant idea, this was a masterful plan. This girl's plan, which was linked together step by step, was truly amazing.

Mu Qingcheng finished her speech, expecting applause, but instead, the two people opposite her were completely stunned. Only Yun Qing wanted to applaud her, but he didn't dare, fearing that the people outside would suspect he was eavesdropping.

Hiss! Mu Qingcheng was confused. Did they not understand, or did they think she was talking nonsense? She reviewed it in her mind, thinking about how to explain it to them.

Madam Wang was the first to react. She stood up and excitedly took Mu Qingcheng's hand, saying, "Miss Mu is truly a brilliant and talented person! If you don't mind my stupidity, I'll work with you. Opening a workshop would be great! The cloth and needles and thread are already in my shop, so you can just use them. As for the embroiderers, don't worry. I know a few girls who can do embroidery work. Their families aren't well-off. Just give me a word and they'll be ready to start work."

Mu Qingcheng said, "I have a few more bags for girls. I'll draw them for you later. You can study and improve them."

Madam Wang thought that it would take some time for Mu Qingcheng to develop a new product, but she didn't expect to get the new product pattern so soon.

"We can make a few more products now to prepare for the future. However, we should not launch them all at once when we first launch them. We can launch two new products every month."

Madam Wang and Madam Zhou both understood and admired Mu Qingcheng's foresight even more.

"To make this business a success, besides having novel designs and Madam Wang's exquisite craftsmanship, we also need to find sales channels, which requires Madam Zhou's connections. Of course, my designs are also a very important part. We are all indispensable."

"I, where do I have any connections?"

Madam Zhou was quite happy when she heard that she would have a share of the profits. After all, no one would complain about a lot of money. But when she heard that her connections were needed, she panicked. She didn't have any connections. She was just a lady in the inner chamber who ran an inn. She didn't know any big bosses.

Mu Qingcheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Even if the boss lady doesn't know the big boss, it's the same as if Boss Zhou knows him, right? Even if he doesn't, our goods are easy to sell. We can just find a big trading company and put this package there. Only a fool would refuse. But we have to find a reliable person to do this. The three of us can't show up in public to discuss business. Boss Zhou is the most suitable."

Madam Zhou finally understood that Mu Qingcheng wanted Zhou Da to come forward. Indeed, among the three of them, only her man was the most suitable to go out and run errands, so she felt relieved.

In fact, Mu Qingcheng had heard Lady Wang's story from Lady Zhou a long time ago. Lady Wang's father was a powerful village headman in the town, so she married the most talented scholar in town, Wang Xiucai. Scholar Wang's family had fallen on hard times, leaving him with only a widowed mother, living in poverty. Lady Wang brought a generous dowry to the Wang family, and after marriage, the couple loved each other and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Five years ago, Wang Xiucai and his classmates traveled to the provincial capital to take the autumn imperial examination. Unexpectedly, he passed, placing 36th among the successful candidates. High on his spirits, Wang Xiucai didn't even return home, but headed straight to the capital to take the examination. He left with only a letter to his family before disappearing. Unexpectedly, he never returned, and has not been heard from since.

A scholar who failed the imperial examination and returned from the capital said that Mr. Wang had also failed the exam. He seemed to be very down and out and depressed. He didn't contact his fellow townsmen and later disappeared.

Everyone in Daxing Town thought that Mr. Wang was most likely dead outside.

Mu Qingcheng does not make any judgment. There are many factors and accidents in this world. Keeping hope is a comfort to the living.

Later, Wang's mother-in-law fell seriously ill. Mrs. Wang sold part of her dowry, took out some of the money to ask someone to go to the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Wang, and used the rest of the money to treat her mother-in-law.

The result was that he lost both his money and his life, his request to the capital was ignored, and his mother-in-law died in disappointment while she was waiting for him.

In order to make a living, Mrs. Wang had to use her expertise and opened a tailor shop at home.
