Chapter 453 Mother, Thank You So Much
Zhou Rong touched the silk thread, picked up the beads, and looked at them. She felt reassured: "That's enough! With these materials, the hair ornaments and hairbands I made will definitely look good and will definitely sell!"
Zhou Rong really made dozens of kinds of hair flowers in one go, and placed them on the table in a colorful manner, which looked really beautiful.
Shen Chuxia picked one up casually and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to have such skills, you did a great job!"
Zhou Rong said calmly:
"Why don't you try to sell all of these? Each head flower is worthless.
But if you do it more often, you can make a lot of money by adding up the small amounts.”
Shen Chuxia nodded: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Lao Deng later."
During dinner in the evening, Shen Chuxia deliberately approached Deng Jun and said, "Hubby, what's different about me today?"
Deng Jun looked up at her and shook his head: "I don't see any changes."
Shen Chuxia pouted and pointed at her head and said, "Didn't you see the flower I'm wearing?"
Deng Jun then took a closer look and said, "Oh, new?"
Shen Chuxia straightened her back proudly: "I didn't buy this, I made it myself! Doesn't it look good?"
Deng Jun smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "How can anything my wife makes not look good? She's really good at it!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "He Hua, what are you doing there? Come over and get me some slippers!"
He Hua was so thin that her bones were visible. She worked as a nanny in the Deng family. She had thought about running away, but her family needed money, and at least she could earn a few dozen yuan a month here.
She quickly picked up the slippers and squatted down to put them on Deng Jun.
Deng Jun raised his leg and kicked, cursing:
"Are you blind? You have no sense at all! I'd rather have a dog than you!
Hurry up and serve the food, I'm starving!"
He Hua covered her chest and gasped in pain, but she nodded and trotted into the kitchen. Soon all the dishes were on the table.
Shen Chuxia drank a mouthful of chicken soup and frowned, saying, "This soup has no taste at all. It's too hard to drink."
Deng Jun was furious when he heard this and yelled at He Hua, "You can't even make a proper soup! Make it thicker tomorrow. If you don't do it right, you'll be in trouble!"
He Hua was so frightened that she was trembling, and kept nodding with her head down.
Shen Chuxia turned to look at Deng Jun and said, "I've made dozens of hair ornaments. Do you think it would be okay to sell them in our department store?"
Deng Jun frowned and said awkwardly, "The department store is now under Xiaoyan's management. It's not appropriate for me to interfere..."
As he was speaking, Deng Xiaoyan pushed the door open and walked in.
She was wearing a crisp dress, her hair was neatly combed, and she was carrying an exquisite handbag.
As soon as she entered, she glanced at the dishes on the table, curled her lips slightly, and then asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
Shen Chuxia looked at her with a smile and said:
"Why are you back so early today? I was just talking to your father about the hair flower!
What do you think of this hair ornament?"
Deng Xiaoyan glanced at the hairpin on Shen Chuxia's head, and a hint of admiration appeared on the corner of her lips: "The style is unique, and the winding branch pattern on the hairpin is very ingenious."
She tapped her fingertips on the table. "But where did this design come from?"
Shen Chuxia raised her chin, her tone somewhat proud:
“Regardless of the origin, I still have dozens of them in my warehouse.
If you like them, we can put them in department stores and give me a dollar or two for every one I sell."
"One or two?" Deng Xiaoyan scoffed, her scarlet nails scratching the edge of the table.
"Do you think department stores are charity? Just the venue fees and labor costs alone, which one is free?
At your price, I have to pay you to sell the goods?"
She paused, her eyes falling on the swaying tassels on Shen Chuxia's temples: "But this skill is indeed rare."
Shen Chuxia leaned forward and said in a low voice:
“I can not only make hair ornaments, but also garments.
I heard you guys are in a fierce battle with Panpan Department Store, and these exclusive items of mine will definitely add fuel to the fire."
Deng Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, a calculating look flashing in her eyes:
"I'll give you one dollar each, no matter how much or how little you sell it for, it's the same price.
We can easily sell hundreds of them a day."
"A few hundred?" Shen Chuxia clutched her handkerchief tightly, calculating the profit in her mind: "Even if I sell a hundred a day, that's only a hundred yuan..."
She bit her lip and said, "Xiaoyan is the head of the department store after all, so she shouldn't be more generous with her price."
Deng Xiaoyan leaned back and sneered, "Too little? Then forget it!"
Shen Chuxia quickly waved her hands and said, "Of course I don't mind the small amount, but you have to be careful of Lin Panpan, that woman is not simple."
Deng Xiaoyan has been very worried recently, all because of the Panpan Department Store next door.
The things sold in Panpan Department Store are fresh and complete. There are even several color TVs on display in Panpan Department Store that you have never seen in other stores.
There were also stylish racing bicycles that were not available on the market, and they were all obtained by them.
Now the entrance of Panpan Department Store is crowded with people every day. Everyone is rushing to buy things and business is booming.
Deng Xiaoyan found out that other people could earn several thousand yuan a day, and even tens of thousands when they were lucky. Then she looked at her own store which was so deserted that she was so angry that her teeth were itching.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Let them be proud for a few days, sooner or later I will deal with them!"
Shen Chuxia leaned forward, clutching the hem of her skirt, her eyes blazing:
“Instead of being controlled by others in terms of supply, it is better to build our own factory!
As long as our products are newer and cheaper than those in Panpan Department Store, customers will naturally come back!"
Deng Xiaoyan paused while spinning the jade ring and sneered:
"That's easy to say! Building a factory requires land, equipment, and workers, which one doesn't cost money?
Building a factory is not easy; the most important thing is to have the technology.”
She tapped the table with her fingertips:
"Do you think that bitch Lin Panpan's color TV and racing bicycle were blown in by the wind?
Who knows what kind of connections are behind this!"
Shen Chuxia did not flinch, she grabbed the teacup on the table and took a gulp:
"If she can do it, why can't we? Lin Panpan just took the initiative first!
If that doesn't work, just get the technology! I heard he has a brother in Beijing who's having some issues with him, and he's an engineer.
What’s his name Zhou Jingxing…”
Zhou Jingxing is Zhou Moli's brother and works as an engineer under Gu Mobai.
He has been obsessed with tinkering with machinery since he was a child. Tinkering with various parts and figuring out the principles of equipment are his specialties. He is considered quite capable in this field and has become a capable assistant that Gu Mobai values very much.
But recently, Zhou Moli was wronged in the Gu family. Zhou Jingxing was so angry that he broke up with Gu Mobai and decided to go it alone.
When Deng Xiaoyan heard this, her eyes lit up and her eyebrows raised:
"Hey, this guy is quite something! I'll ask someone to find out more about him later.
If he really has the ability, he could be of great use to us if we bring him here.
Mother, thank you so much!"
