Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"If you don't want to tell me, I'll go to the tailor's shop tomorrow and ask him. I'll always be able to find out why you're unhappy!"

"Don't!" Lin's mother raised her head suddenly and stretched out a hand to stop Xu Wanning: "The new hotel will open tomorrow. As the boss, you must stay on site. Don't run around. Mom is really fine!"

"The restaurant has a manager in charge. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. If he doesn't work well without me, there's no value or need for me to stay, so I don't have to go."

Xu Wanning didn't give Lin's mother any chance to refuse. Under her gaze, Lin's mother felt she had nowhere to hide.

After a long while, Lin's mother sighed heavily, "The Chen family father and son may not plan to work in the garment store anymore."

"Why?" Xu Wanning frowned slightly: "Do they think the benefits are not good enough?"

Frankly speaking, the salary and benefits offered by Xu Wanning are already far higher than the market price.

The basic salary alone is 50 to 60 yuan per month, which is higher than the salary of ordinary factory workers. In addition, there is a corresponding commission for every piece of clothing made.

In the previous summer, we mainly made cheongsams and dresses. Because they were simple, we could make several pieces a day, so Xu Wanning gave us a commission of five yuan per piece. After that, as the number of orders increased, she added another yuan in commission for each piece, which was equivalent to six yuan in total.

After autumn, clothing stores started making coats.

Coats require a lot of materials and are complicated to make, so the prices are generally just over a hundred yuan. Xu Wanning gets a commission of ten yuan for each coat.

As the weather gradually got colder, more woolen coats appeared in the clothing stores. The price of a woolen coat was at least two hundred yuan, but in order to pursue quality, the production cycle was relatively long. Xu Wanning simply gave a commission of 40 yuan for each piece, which was equivalent to one-fifth of the price of a piece of clothing.

Xu Wanning thought that the price she offered was very fair. She went out to look at the tailor shops that still had stock on the market and estimated that the owners of the shops could not earn that much money in a month!

However, although Xu Wanning was a little shocked at first, she was not surprised at all that the Chen father and son had this idea.

In the summer, Lin's mother mentioned casually that because the business of the garment store was so good that they were too busy to handle it, the Chen father and son wanted to invite their relatives to come and work so that they could earn some money, but Xu Wanning refused.

Lin's mother was not very happy either.

After all, Xu Wanning opened the clothing store because she was worried that she would be bored and have nothing to do, so she opened it to let her kill time and make money at the same time. Although Xu Wanning was the nominal owner of the clothing store, it has always been Lin's mother who was in charge.

Apart from the two girls who were working as summer interns, there were only three people in the clothing store. If a few more people from the Chen family came, who could tell whether the tailor shop belonged to her or to the Chen family?

Therefore, Xu Wanning's refusal was actually a good thing for Lin's mother.

After that, Lin's mother never mentioned the matter again, but Xu Wanning felt that it was only a matter of time before they wanted to go it alone.

After all, the clothing store business is so good, no one would not be jealous.

Moreover, Chen's father and son would definitely think that they are the main force of the clothing store, and the clothing store would definitely go bankrupt without them.

In fact, they had no idea that the reason why Xu Wanning's clothing store could make so much money was not only because of her designs, but also because of the fabrics she bought from textile factories at low prices.

Not to mention summer fabrics, which were not very expensive to begin with, and Xu Wanning even bought a large amount of them at a price just slightly higher than the cost price.

As for winter clothes, the reason why they are so expensive, in addition to the tailor's skills, the most important thing is the fabric.

The quality of the fabric will be fully reflected in whether the clothes are cheap.

Xu Wanning remembered that in her previous life, her master's wife once took out a woolen coat, which she bought when she was young in the 1990s. She spent more than 600 yuan on that coat, which was equivalent to one month's salary of her master.

But more than thirty years have passed, and the fabric is still stiff. Although the style is a little outdated, once you put it on, your aura and temperament suddenly change.

Xu Wanning's clothing store is originally a high-end one, and she doesn't want to damage her reputation, so the fabrics she purchases are all high-quality and expensive.

A woolen coat that costs two hundred yuan has a fabric cost of seventy or eighty yuan. Add on the forty yuan commission given to Master Chen, and in reality, Xu Wanning only earns about eighty yuan for one piece of clothing.

It may sound like a lot at first glance, but for the highly profitable clothing industry, this profit is not high at all.

If Chen and his son bought the cloth from the textile factory themselves, the cost of the cloth alone for a piece of clothing would be estimated to be over 100 yuan.

Moreover, even in winter when woolen coats are expensive, clothing stores are still doing brisk business. There is another reason for this: design.

Whether it is summer clothes, autumn clothes or winter clothes, the clothes produced and sold in the clothing store are all designed by Xu Wanning herself. At first glance, they seem ordinary, but when worn on people, the whole feeling is different.

Moreover, when she sells autumn and winter clothes, it is not just as simple as selling a coat, she also sells the inner wear underneath.

It can be a sweater with a skirt or pants, or it can be an autumn and winter dress made of thicker fabric.

Of course, the woolen coat was mainly made by Master Chen, and the inner lining was made by Xu Wanning's classmates from the Fashion College who worked part-time.

The commission she gives is not as high as that of Master Chen, but she still gets three yuan for each piece she makes. She can usually make a dress in a day and three skirts in two days. The money she earns in a month is enough to cover the students' expenses, and she can even save some.

These are the reasons why the garment store is doing well, not just because of Chen's father and son.

Now they are jealous of the good business of the garment store and want to start a new business. Xu Wanning can understand that.

"Aning, what do you think we should do?" Lin's mother's eyes were red. "Although I can do it, my speed is too slow. There are so many orders in the store. I am afraid I can't finish them. Once they leave..."

"If they want to leave, let them go." Xu Wanning held Lin's mother's hand and calmed her down, "Mom, don't worry. There are many craftsmen in Beijing. I offer such a high salary, so I'm not afraid that no one will come to work in our clothing store."

After all, the new store will open tomorrow, and Xu Wanning also wants to see how capable Lu Xu and the waiters and chefs are at work, and whether they can independently support a store, so she will still go to the new store in the morning.
