Chapter 109B: Luo Qing Luan’s unusual thinking
“This is not only the Headquarters of the Capital, there are also other branches of the Brocade Mansion all over the various provinces and districts and the total annual inco adds up to about a hundred thousand in profit. So if we are able to further improve the designs, we are sure to attract the current custor base to bring in new custors so the business will be even better.”
Looked like Nangong Chen’s thinking wasn’t ford only today. Luo Qing Luan smiled a little as she said, “Second Prince’s clothes manufacturing business’ main custors are those officials’ wives and wealthy young misses?”
Nangong Yu replied, “Does Prince Consort have any different ideas?”
Luo Qing Luo thought for a mont and said, “Your thinking isn’t too bad but I feel that although there are plenty of wealthy people in West Chu but they basically buy in limited quantities, just two to three pieces each ti isn’t too bad at all. But during festive seasons, purchasing in bulk quantities for the young misses or relatives and friends are also counted as well.”
“If Second Prince can think of a way to attract various prefecture’s clothing rchants with you being responsible for supplying them bulk quantities of clothing, the pricing can be set at a lower discount rate. But once the quantity increases, your profits would be even higher. Furthermore binding those rchants together, we are making them help Brocade Manor doing sales on the surface, but at the sa ti we will also be advertising Brocade Manor’s reputation and status, which will be even more suitable.”
“Prince Consort’s aning is......”
Hearing until here, Nangong Yu suddenly understood sothing as he went into deep thoughts, “Brocade Manor not only needs to retain its original custors, furthermore it also wants to convert the other clothing rchants to help promote sales?” He was thinking to himself if this was possible? Brocade Manor itself was in the clothing business and those clothing rchants were all in similar businesses so why would they put aside their own business just to help him promote, just earning a asly lower pricing?
Luo Qing Luan smiled, “Just this, had the Second Prince not considered this possibility before? As long as the clothing which Brocade Manor cos out with are guaranteed new designs and will forever be the latest styles which couldn’t be found anywhere in other shops, wouldn’t those rchants purchase from you? How many wealthy people are there in West Chu? What they mind is not money but face. They themselves are wealthy and have prestigious statuses so no matter if it was in terms of food or clothing, it only could be the newest and best quality which would then reflect their face! Even if the pricing is slightly expensive by a little, they wouldn’t care about it, instead feeling that they are different from the others.”
Anyone had the sa kind of thinking and Luo Qing Luan was extrely clear that even if it was a simple piece of clothing, no one liked to wear the sa design as anyone else which was known as “resemblance in wearing”. It would be extrely embarrassing! Only through guaranteed exquisite design would enable them to grab the custors tightly in their hands.
Nangong Yu’s eyes turned brighter as he listened on and got even more excited, “Prince Consort, you an you’re able to help design several exclusive clothing?”
She had many different designs in her mories from the later centuries in various designs and patterns. Luo Qing Luan even recalled the material and accessories that went along. It was exactly because of this which was why when Nangong Yu ntioned this point, she felt that the idea wasn’t too bad as she could exhibit her superiority.
“Whether it can be done or not, we just need to give it a try. I’ll draw a style out first and you can let your people try creating it and test it out first.”
Luo Qing Luan prepared this as her third source of earnings hence she needed the aid of Nangong Yu’s Brocade Manor to display various exquisite clothing. As for the split in profits, she naturally would not stand on ceremony.
Nangong Yu was also on track as he imdiately responded, “That’s great, many thanks Prince Consort. If the effect is not bad, then I will split a portion of Brocade Manor’s profits with you.”
Temporarily not ntioning how much to split, Luo Qing Luan nodded, “That would be great. As for the exact amount of profit distribution, let’s wait until the first batch of clothing is sold before we decide, no need to hurry.”
Nangong Yu was also curious on what kind of exquisite design would Luo Qing Luan co out with as he imdiately passed her paper and pen. When Luo Qing Luan finished drawing the design in a short amount of ti, he received it and was overjoyed.
“This pattern.... It’s so exquisite, it’s my first ti seeing it.” Nangong Yu smiled as he laid heaps of praises on it.
“Mn, this is an abstract drawing thod and in actual fact it is a rose. But it looks different from the ones which the tailors normally embroiders. This flower pattern is on the luxuriance side and is normally worn for important occasions. At the sa ti we can add on so accompanying accessories to form into a series.” Luo Qing Luan applied the concept which she had read from her past life, changing into a term which Nangong Yu was able to understand, “Let’s give this set of clothing a na, temporarily it will be known as the Elegant Rose series. Red roses that rose and giving it an exquisite na, which is equivalent to a form of packing, will make it appear as extraordinary.”
Nangong Yu listened with joy and interest as he couldn’t stop muttering to himself, “Elegant Rose.... Elegant Rose series? A set of clothing in the sa style with accompanying accessories, is considered as a series? In future there will be many other series? Right, that’s right, this idea is just fabulous, excellent!”
Thinking that Brocade Manor would soon beco the number one retailer like Heavenly Dream Tower in the Capital in the near future, he originally casually invited Luo Qing Luan to give an idea but he had not expected to reap such a reward. He couldn’t help but look at Nalan Ye as Nangong Yu laughed heartily, “Ziqing, you’re really aweso, this wife of yours is so excellent, a genius!”
Nalan Ye was also shocked and surprised by Luo Qing Luan’s unusual way of thinking as he proudly declared, “Of course, just whose wife is she!”
