Chapter 84 Big Deal! (Part 1)
Shen Ruoyan usually rides in a carriage, so where has she walked? She had just walked less than two miles when she felt sore all over. She cursed Jiang Chengfeng countless times in her heart, thinking that if this guy didn't come up with a satisfactory solution, she would go to her sister to borrow the general.
The further she walked, the heavier her legs felt. Shen Ruoyan could no longer endure it, thinking that in broad daylight, the evil slave wouldn't dare to do anything to her!
So, she took a few quick steps, jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Dazhui sleeping soundly leaning in the corner of the carriage with a drop of crystal liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Ruoyan climbed into the carriage carefully, her head pounding, fearing that Jiang Dazhu would suddenly wake up. Fortunately, Jiang Dazhu was still sleeping soundly and did not open his eyes.
Of course, even so, Shen Ruoyan did not dare to relax. She took out a pair of small scissors from the small box in the carriage, held them tightly in her palm, and stared at Jiang Chengfeng vigilantly. If this guy made any unusual moves, she would kill him without hesitation, or commit suicide.
However, Shen Ruoyan stared at Jiang Chengfeng for a long time and found that this guy was sleeping soundly and talking in his sleep. Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After returning to the Shen Mansion and having a quick lunch, Shen Ruoyan ordered the maid to call Jiang Chengfeng to discuss important matters. Now the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Shen family, and she really can't afford to delay any longer.
As soon as Jiang Chengfeng walked in, Shen Ruoyan asked what Jiang Chengfeng's special clothes were.
"Well..." Jiang Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Let me make this clear first, Madam, Miss, what I'm going to show you may be too shocking, please don't be too surprised, what we are discussing is business! If you two agree, we can continue our discussion!"
Madam Shen smiled and said, "This... we naturally understand!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded, but did not take out the design immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Shen Ruoyan and asked, "I would like to ask Miss first, you have been in the cloth business for many years. If it is a ready-made garment business, who will make the most money?"
Shen Ruoyan answered without hesitation: "Of course it's women's clothes!"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled knowingly and nodded, "Yes, it's women's clothes! Everyone loves beauty, and women love beauty even more! It can be said that most of the money women spend is spent on rouge, powder, and various beautiful clothes. So, if we want to make money, we have to focus on women!"
"Moreover, if the Shen family is in the ready-made clothing business, they have an advantage over others! That is, most of the Shen family's cloth shops are run by women!"
Madam Shen smiled and nodded. Jiang Dazhu's words did make sense. It was not easy for a servant to know so much. Qingdie, this girl, finally did a good thing for the family by finding such a wonderful man!
Shen Ruoyan nodded, "What you said makes sense, but I want to know what special clothes you are talking about?"
So Jiang Chengfeng took out the design drawing that he had prepared long ago, handed it to Shen Ruoyan, and said with a smile: "Please take a look, but don't be too surprised!"
Shen Ruoyan took the white paper, glanced at it, and found that the drawing on the paper was a strange piece of clothing that looked like a long skirt but was not a long skirt.
The dress has diagonal buttons and the hem goes all the way to the ankles. What's even more surprising is that there is a long seam on both sides of the dress, from the thigh to the ankle.
Mrs. Shen and her daughter looked at each other in amazement. The two of them had been in the clothing business for many years, so they could naturally see the novelty and boldness of this clothing. It could perfectly highlight the figure and shape of women, which could be called a great invention.
Seeing the astonished expressions of Madam Shen and her daughter, Jiang Chengfeng knew that the negotiation was half successful, and said with a smile: "This is the plan of the cheongsam. The biggest advantage of this kind of clothing is that it can perfectly highlight the proud figure and unique temperament of women, and it is very suitable for the women of our Northern Tang country! What do you think?"
In this era, women's clothes are mostly loose, and there are almost no body-shaping clothes like cheongsam. In other words, this is a blank market.
Women are born to love beauty, and this cheongsam can well show a woman's figure and temperament. Just by taking a look, Shen Ruoyan discovered the uniqueness of this cheongsam and its hot market prospects.
"Jiang Dazhu, this... cheongsam is so tight. I'm afraid that even if we make it, not everyone will wear it!" Shen Ruoyan pondered for a long time and expressed her doubts with a blushing face.
Jiang Chengfeng did not answer this question, but asked, "So, Miss, what do you think of this kind of clothes?"
"It's very novel and very beautiful!" Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter and sighed , "But I have the same doubts as Ruoyan. This design is too bold. I'm afraid no one would dare to wear this dress to go shopping!"
"Since Madam thinks it's good, then there's no problem!" Jiang Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "In fact, it will take some time for people to accept it! At the beginning, no one dared to try it, but there will always be someone who is the first to try it! Moreover, cheongsam is different from other clothes. It is only worn at banquets and other occasions, and it is for the daughters and wives of wealthy families!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoyan's eyes were filled with excitement . However, Mrs. Shen seemed more stable. After thinking for a while, she asked, "It's just that the split at the thigh is too high!"
In fact, wearing cheongsam and looking at thighs is the most exciting thing for men. However, in this feudal society, letting women show their thighs is tantamount to losing their chastity. Even if someone likes cheongsam, I am afraid they would not dare to wear it!
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "This picture is just the most ideal state. If you think it is not suitable, you can modify it according to your experience! However, no matter how you modify it, the fabric of this cheongsam must be high-end , soft and comfortable!"
"Of course!" Shen Ruoyan nodded with a smile and said, "This kind of clothes is definitely not for ordinary girls. Of course, good fabrics must be used, otherwise the young ladies of wealthy families will not wear it!"
Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but smile, and Mrs. Shen also had a smile on her face.
"Oh, right! If this cheongsam sells well in the future, it will naturally be imitated. What should we do then?" After a brief surprise, Shen Ruoyan immediately thought of this key issue.
In fact, Jiang Chengfeng had also thought about this issue. There was no intellectual property protection these days, and if someone copied it, the Shen family would suffer.
"Before answering this question, I would like to ask Miss, how many cloth shops does our Shen family have?" Jiang Chengfeng said.
"The Shen family has worked hard for decades, and there are branches of the Shen family in every city in the entire Northern Tang Kingdom. The Fang family and the Wei family can't compare to this!" Shen Ruoyan said proudly.
