"I wonder if Sister Mei has ever thought about finding another way to make money?"

Yi Mingxue suddenly spoke.

Shopkeeper Mei didn't understand what she meant for a moment, so he poured her a cup of hot tea.

"What do you think?"

"Now you have also seen that if you only operate a ready-made clothing store, your ability to resist risks is too low. If there are several strong competitors, your business will be greatly affected."

Yi Mingxue was not in a hurry. After a sip of hot tea, she felt much warmer.

Seeing that she was cold, Shopkeeper Mei quickly added more charcoal to the stove.

"To be honest, after this incident, I do have some other ideas. But you also know that the current market is not good, and I don't know much."

As she said that, she changed the topic, "It's you, I heard that your car dealership is very prosperous, and even many people in Huzhou County know about it."

Yi Mingxue knew that she had always been well-informed, so it was not surprising.

He just smiled and quickly brought the topic back to the right track.

"It is undoubtedly difficult for a small shop like this to compete with a time-honored brand like Yixiangfang. But what if we stand on the shoulders of giants and borrow their strength?"

Shopkeeper Mei also became interested immediately, "Well, please tell me in detail."

"As far as I know, Yixiangfang's business is not small in our southwest region and even across the country. But compared with Yuncui Pavilion in the capital, it is still far behind."

"Whether it is in terms of resources or connections, it is difficult for us to compete with such a behemoth. But if we do not compete with them for business, but instead help them attract business, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"

Yi Mingxue quickly told Shopkeeper Mei her thoughts.

She has always been hesitant about how to use Yi Qingqing's talent.

She, the middle sister, is very suitable to be a designer, but she has no business acumen.

It would be easy to open a tailor shop for her, but doing so seems to be a waste of her talent.

So, Yi Mingxue thought of designer brand studios, which were very common in later generations.

Only responsible for producing drawings and samples, or advanced customization.

Cooperating with powerful chain stores seems to be the most suitable way.

This model was very common in later generations, but in ancient times when the business model was still simple and crude, it was both fresh and unique.

Shopkeeper Mei listened very carefully.

"What you mean is to recruit more tailors like Qingqing and then sell the styles they draw to time-honored clothing stores like Yixiangfang and Yuncuige?"

"That's right! We can even train them from scratch, especially those children from poor families who are talented but have no chance."

Shopkeeper Mei pondered, seeming to be thinking carefully.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes bright.

"This is indeed a good idea! To be honest, if I didn't sit down gently, I wouldn't have dared to think of this method. But after the previous two successful cases, I actually thought that this road might be worth a try!"

Yi Mingxue looked at her with a smile.

"I believe in you, and I also believe in my second son."

Shopkeeper Mei looked at Yi Mingxue in front of her, feeling a little dazed unconsciously.

It had only been a few months since they first met.

She has actually changed from a poor country girl to the stable and reliable person she is now.

She had a hunch that Yi Mingxue would definitely achieve great things in the future.

And if he can cooperate with their sisters, he will definitely be able to ride on the wind.

She almost no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

"If we want to open it, then I might as well not open this ready-to-wear shop. I will free up this shop and the yard behind it to serve as an operation room for Qing Qing and other masters."

"These rooms in the backyard, a large workshop and a small one for accommodation, apart from the need for professional tools, can be used for everything else."

"By the way, sister Mingxue, how many shares do you want to own?"

Shopkeeper Mei is indeed a woman who can occupy a place in Fengyun Town on her own.

Already starting to think about the process.

Yi Mingxue felt a little embarrassed, "I don't own any shares. This is a business jointly run by you and my second son. At most, I just helped you broker the cooperation."

Shopkeeper Mei still doesn't understand what she means.

Yi Mingxue has such a large car dealership to be busy with, so she will definitely not be able to get away from it.

But that's okay, I and Qing Qingmei each have their own duties.

I am responsible for the daily management and operation. I am responsible for producing more and better plate making, and occasionally mentoring new people.

This kind of cooperation not only allows them to leverage each other's strengths and avoid weaknesses, but also saves them the trouble of running a business.

It is indeed a rare opportunity.

Yi Mingxue thought for a while and said bluntly, "My second child is a stickler, and he only thinks about the operating table. So in the future, we have to rely more on Shopkeeper Mei. So I will take charge for her."

, the two of you jointly invest, she accounts for 49% and you account for 51%. You have the final say on business matters, and she has the final say on technical matters. Do you think it is feasible?"

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Mei was extremely happy, "Of course!"

So the two of them agreed on this.

All the preliminary preparations will be left to Shopkeeper Mei.

For Yi Qingqing, the main thing is to draw more good drawings and make plates.

Yi Mingxue took out fifty taels from Yi Qingqing's money and gave it to Shopkeeper Mei, "It will definitely cost money in the early stage to find and train people, but our start-up capital is one hundred taels, which is enough if you think about it."

"That's enough! That's enough!" Shopkeeper Mei's face finally regained its former look, "Even if we open a Yuncui Pavilion branch in the capital, one hundred taels is enough."

They don't need to stock up on fabrics and make garments in batches.

Recruiting talented masters to draw the drawings, the wages are as much as five taels of silver a month, which is still the level of the top masters of Yuncuige.

If they were just talented junior students, I'd probably have to pay them the other way around.

The two had a pleasant chat, and Yi Mingxue stayed at Shopkeeper Mei's house for a meal.

When she returned home that night, Yi Mingxue told Yi Qingqing about the incident.

In fact, the two sisters had had a long chat before this.

Yi Qingqing has indeed changed a lot now.

Not only does her appearance grow, she becomes more and more beautiful.

My temperament has also become more confident and showy.

But I am still timid and would rather work hard on the operating table for several days than go out and talk to strangers.

It's quite a bit like the eccentric artists of later generations.

As expected, the little girl had no special reaction after hearing about this incident.

Continue to feed rice into Yi Baoer's mouth.

After a while, she said softly, "I listen to my eldest sister."

Yi Mingxue Alexander!

But if Yi Qingqing keeps following the path he planned for her.

There should be no chance of becoming a famous prostitute again.

Does that mean that her destiny has been changed by herself?
