Chapter 222 Worry
Regarding this concern, Liu Wen had thought about it before. After all, the store is open, and if there is no goods, it is actually a big joke.
"I still have some works over there."
"Sister, I remember that you had some small embroideries that you used to practice on. You can also bring them out."
"Small?" Of course Liu Shuhui has done this, but the question is whether such a small work would be too awkward to display.
"We can't give up big customers, but we can't let go of small businesses either."
"Embroidery something on a handkerchief, and then making a cloth bag with something embroidered on it, it actually looks pretty good."
"The items are not expensive, so there will definitely be many people buying them."
"I think if more people know about it, maybe we can make money on utility bills and so on."
"Although we don't have to worry about running out of business, we don't have to worry about losing money."
"I just feel that if I can make a small amount of money, it would be better to recoup the cost of opening a store."
"And sister, we can also slowly accumulate some business tips by communicating with these people."
"What do you think?" Liu Wen thinks it's a good idea, but Oak also wants to see what Liu Shuhui thinks.
Does this still need to be considered? Liu Shuhui said directly that she had no objection, "As long as it makes money."
"And many embroiderers can do such a small job." Liu Shuhui also used her brain to discuss with Liu Wen how to develop a business.
"Actually, we can also get some cotton clothes or skirts and embroider something on them."
"I thought before that if you wear good-looking clothes, there will be many people wearing them when you walk on the road."
"No matter how beautiful the clothes are, if many people wear them, they will feel ordinary or a bit ugly to me." Liu Shuhui used to come to the city occasionally, and she would feel that the clothes worn by the people in the city were very fashionable and very good-looking.
But now that I have been to Sioux City more times, I have discovered problems. I feel that it is either not good here or there is something wrong. I always feel that there is room for improvement.
"The embroidery on each piece of clothing is different, that's why there is a difference." Liu Shuhui said her thoughts carefully.
Wow, Liu Wen knows that Liu Shuhui is a person with ideas, but she just doesn't have the opportunity to say it.
Now that she has such a good opportunity, look at her performance, it is absolutely great.
"Of course there is no problem."
"But this can be carried out slowly."
“I don’t know if we can open before September.” Otherwise, if we open in winter, not many people will go shopping.
In addition, it is approaching the New Year's Eve, so those who need to give gifts have already thought about what to give, and maybe they have already bought the things. If there are no surprises, there should be no changes.
Liu Wen hopes to open it in time for autumn, so that wealthy people can know that they have another choice for giving gifts.
You Liu Shuhui now also know that those who buy embroidery works may not like embroidery, even if they have all kinds of allusions and data at their fingertips.
"In fact, embroidery should be passed down." Liu Shuhui has not experienced the peak period of embroidery, but has barely experienced the trough.
"At that time, no one liked the embroidery works, and no one would buy them, unless they were embroiderers with good skills. Their embroidery works were also taken away by the authorities and were not circulated in the market."
"Many people have left this industry and started working in the fields."
"It can be said that the hands of an embroiderer have been maintained since childhood." Even now, Liu Wen occasionally works, but she does a good job of protecting her hands. She is worried that once her hands become rough, she will not be able to embroider.
And those people actually wanted to work in the fields. Liu Wen knew that if there were no accidents, there would be no possibility of them coming back again after leaving this circle.
"Yes, now they know that even if they are an ordinary embroiderer, they can earn more than they do farming. They want to come back, but their hands..." Liu Shuhui has seen their hands, which are rough.
Not to mention worrying about whether the silk will be damaged or not, even letting them pick up the embroidery needle is quite a challenge.
"But if more people see it, you can make more money by doing business." Liu Wen said calmly.
"It's okay to be an embroiderer, but the income of more embroiderers is actually average."
"But in business, if you are willing to endure hardship, you will definitely make money."
"But as an embroiderer, you don't just have to endure hardships, it also depends on your talent."
"Talent alone is not enough, you also have to work hard. It can be said that both talent and hard work are indispensable."
Many people say that Liu Wen is so talented at how she can embroider such beautiful embroidery works at such a young age.
Liu Wen really didn't want to tell them that she didn't have so many so-called talents, but that she was just working hard when everyone was relaxing, eating, drinking, having fun, and resting.
A good embroiderer’s hard work behind the scenes is truly extraordinary.
"Yeah, it's too hard." Even though she made a lot of money through embroidery, Liu Shuhui had to admit that it was not an ordinary journey from the time she started learning embroidery.
"I just don't have a daughter. If I had a daughter, I don't think I would be willing to let her continue to be an embroiderer."
"Of course I'm not talking about Aunt Gong." Liu Shuhui remembered that Liu Wen's family was an embroiderer for generations. Did she say this to reflect Gong Jing's cruelty?
Liu Wen doesn't care about this. "When I was a child, I felt it was very hard. Others could go out to play, but I could only stay at home. I was unhappy in various ways."
"But now I really want to thank my mother, if not for her embroidery skills."
"My current life will not be so good."
"So I hated it at first, but I don't hate it anymore. At least we don't have to worry about a decrease in income."
"And our works will sell for higher prices."
"However, I think the embroiderer should be cultivated slowly."
Liu Wen knows that with the development of the times, young people like to make money easily and quickly, instead of studying so hard for many years and still not succeeding.
"It needs to be cultivated."
"Those who are talented may not be able to persevere." Liu Shuhui still remembers that among the people who learned embroidery like her, there were only a few who really persevered.
"But the reason is that there are really not many teachers." It's not that if you teach apprentices, the master will starve to death, but now that you earn so much as an embroiderer, unless it is your own child, no one will be willing to teach apprentices.
.
In the past, the disciples were taught that at least a few years of their income would be given to the master, but now that can't be done, and everyone has no idea of teaching skills anymore.
After all, it is a thankless task that delays one's own money-making, and it is possible, and no one wants to do it.
Liu Wen thinks that is a tricky thing. There is no guidance on money these days. There are really few people who are willing to do this.
Regarding this issue, not to mention Liu Wen and others find it difficult, even the leaders of the silk factory in Sioux City are also worried that it is not so difficult to train young embroiderers.
In fact, it is not without half a day. For example, if you set up a school and everyone goes to class, you will have an income. Liu Wen does not believe that you can still have no teachers in this way.
However, this project is not a small one. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is really not something that she and Liu Shuhui can handle. It still requires a highly respected embroidery master.
