Free Web NovelChapter 1207: Chapter 1209
Seeing all these large and small bags, Gong Ruini was stunned.
Knowing that everyone was out this time to buy quite a lot of stuff, especially since they planned to start a personal shopping business, it was just buy, buy, buy, buy.
She never expected to buy so much stuff, what to do.
With so many things on the plane, just the overweight fee alone would be a lot, what to do.
Gong Ruini waved her hand, "Ship it."
"We can see how fast this is along the way."
These days, customs didn’t need to charge taxes, so of course, it’s best to be as relaxed as possible; otherwise, just picking up the luggage after getting off the plane would be enough to scare people.
Gong Ruini didn’t want them to become the focal point at every airport they landed. These days, people who can fly aren’t ordinary.
They either have money or power, so it’s better to keep a low profile; otherwise, there would be all sorts of gossip.
"Yes, yes, I also think we should do it like this for peace of mind." Although Gong Jiaming agreed to start this business, he was quite anxious.
How is he supposed to buy things all by himself without making mistakes? Gosh, it’s a hassle.
Just thinking about it gives him a headache, but he really didn’t have the courage to back out; he could only hope it’s not too big a problem.
"Don’t worry, we will make money, we’ll definitely make big money." Gong Ruzhi really didn’t understand what was so worrying about just buying stuff.
This is not a difficult thing at all, why is he so worried?
It’s not like they haven’t bought things before, he doesn’t get it, really doesn’t understand.
What Gong Jiaming is really worried about is, "This is US Dollars, much more valuable than RMB."
"If I’m not careful and mess up the items, the loss would be significant."
If it were for his own use, buying the wrong thing is just buying the wrong thing, nothing to be embarrassed about; but this is for business, once a mistake is made, the loss is really more than slight.
Bought the wrong stuff? There’s nothing to worry about, "As long as it’s not too ugly, it’ll eventually sell."
Gong Ruini really didn’t believe no one would like American goods, "Actually, we can hire Gong Jiaxin to purchase some nice clothes."
Gong Ruini felt she missed something, but she couldn’t remember what it was before, and now she thought of it, but it was too late.
She could only offer her a good compensation, "Sister Jiaxin, that was our mistake, we’ll give you shares instead of money in a few days."
Gong Jiaxin didn’t really care whether she got shares, as long as her brother was involved, that was enough, plus she was busy with her own things.
"It’s okay, as long as there’s some reward." She had been working in the fashion company for so long, and they hadn’t paid her much either, but she still persisted.
The less Gong Jiaxin cared, the more embarrassed Gong Ruini felt, "No, we must give you shares, but it also depends on your capability."
"I understand." Gong Jiaxin didn’t see any problem; the shares wouldn’t cost her anything, "Actually, I’m still gaining."
"Don’t worry, I’ll work hard, actually, if we can, I can have someone help design the clothes." Due to her profession, Gong Jiaxin knew quite a few designers.
This profession is not one where everyone becomes famous, but it doesn’t mean these people lack skill. Anyway, in Gong Jiaxin’s view, these designs are good, and if she can help out, she will.
Having people design clothes? Having foreigners design them? Oh my, Gong Ruini was stunned, this news spreading will definitely boost their business.
Although there are good tailors domestically, and their clothes are nice too, many of them make traditional garments like cheongsams, but talking about Western-style clothes, it’s challenging.
"Is it expensive?" Despite the various surprises, there was a critical question, the cost; if it’s too expensive, business wouldn’t be feasible.
"It’s manageable." Gong Jiaxin mentioned a rough number, "Sister, what do you think of this number?"
Gong Ruini thought it was okay, but the specifics depended on their designs; if it was too revealing, given the current situation in the country, it definitely wouldn’t pass.
"Don’t worry, I’ll discuss it with them in advance." If they insist on their requirements, they can opt not to cooperate.
These days, there truly isn’t a lack of talented individuals; as long as there’s money, finding a cooperative designer isn’t challenging.
Alright, seeing Gong Jiaxin’s confidence, Gong Ruini knew she was sure, "If there are design results, you can show them to me."
"Sure." No matter how well she speaks, without anyone seeing the finished product, no one would be willing to pay them for a design.
Gong Ruini indicated that these matters afterward could be overseen by Gong Jiaxin and Gong Jiaming, the emphasis being the items they select should suit the locals’ situation, "Actually, I think we don’t necessarily have to go with big brands."
Big brands are good, well-known by many, but the price tag is daunting; buying a few pieces occasionally is fine, but constantly buying is quite a pressure for many people.
However, if designers specifically helped design clothes based on their conditions, it should have a lot of appeal.
Currently, the environment isn’t there, and those people aren’t willing to come to what they see as a backward red country, otherwise cooperating with them could be possible.
But no matter, Gong Ruini is confident that as long as they cooperate a few times and receive compensation, some people will get tempted, and discussing cooperation wouldn’t be challenging then.
"Those designers are really talented." Gong Ruini was talking about bespoke designs, Zhao Xuran, upon hearing this, was also intrigued.
Why did he ask that way, Gong Jiaxin didn’t understand, but she nodded, "Yes, they’re competent."
"I think their skill is good, likely better than the designers the factory hires." Gong Jiaxin had met a few of them, she had consulted them when she first applied to design school.
Even though so much time had passed, even if she wanted to say don’t mind it, she would never forget their expressions back then, there was nothing but disdain.
"Xuran, I think you should consider it." Humph, even if they have talent, they should never go against the boss, or else the boss might just fire them.
Gong Jiaxin didn’t feel it was revenge, just hoping to present Zhao Xuran with a better choice.
They didn’t have the network to know people back then, but now the opportunity is here, no need to compromise.
What Zhao Xuran wanted was this result, "If they’re good, let them design."
Of course, he wouldn’t fire the current designers; you never know how foreigners might behave negligently, and if they have issues with red countries, that’s truly a big problem.
Zhao Xuran didn’t want to face a situation where no designs were delivered when it was time for a new product launch, crying wouldn’t help.
"Okay." Gong Jiaxin had no opinion about Zhao Xuran’s decision; the opportunity was given to them, whether they could seize it was beyond her control, and indeed, some people prefer not to work abroad.
Unless a big brand invites them to be a designer, which is hard, it’s better to take on a temporary job, and if a long-term collaboration is feasible, then they’ll continue.
If collaboration isn’t possible, they’ll change partners. There are many talented but undiscovered designers, and they’ll eventually find a better fit for the fashion company.
