Su Qing anxiously awaited Su Wen outside. It had been some time since she had gone in. When she saw Su Wen, she immediately approached her. Big Sister, you're finally done. What took you so long?
I was delayed. Su Wen turned to the woman beside her, introducing, This is Sister Cao. Sister Cao, this is my Second Sister, Su Qing.
Su Qing quickly exchanged greetings with the woman. It's nice to meet you,
Sister Cao.
Cao Meihua eyed Su Qing's handbag and nodded with a smile. Hello. May I have a look at your bag?
Sure. Su Qing handed her bag over without trouble.
The bag was soft and delicate. Cao Meihua could not help but turn the bag over, feeling the smooth leather against her skin. Noticing the accessories that adorned the bag, especially a white pendant that had caught her eye, she exclaimed, Is that real fox fur?
Of course! We would never use anything but the genuine article. What was the point in breaking into the luxury market if she did not have high standards for her products?
This feels amazing! Cao Meihua played with the bag for a while before saying,
I think these bags are as good as brand new. Why don't you sell them to me? Su Wen's double-strapped handbag was nice, but this lambskin bag was even better.
That won't do. Su Wen waved her hand as if to say no. This bag is mine. I can't live without it!
How about selling me a new one, then?
You'll have to wait, but do you still want one? Su Wen asked Cao Meihua. It won't be cheap, I'm afraid.
Naturally. Just tell me how much it'll cost. If it were anyone else she was talking to, Cao Meihua would not have been so accommodating. However, she owed Su Wen a favor, not to mention she had a rather good impression of her. On the one hand, she hoped to return the favor as soon as possible; on the other, she had to get her hands on a bag like Su Wen's.
Su Wen gestured with her fingers, smiling amiably, It'll be 68 yuan; no bargaining. Since I call you sister, I've given you my best price.
Tha'q pynpnqivp Even thn1Vh Can Mpihna had nrpnned herqplf mentallv Rhe was still taken aback by Su Wen's outrageous demand. Not wanting to come across as petty, Cao Meihua said without blinking, Alright. I want three of them.
The three bags were not all for herself. One would go to Deputy Director Wei and the other to Zhang Miao.
It's not as expensive as you think. 68 yuan is its current price. In the future, that price will go up every quarter. Of course, newer bags will also appear based on the season. Su Wen felt no shame or guilt in explaining how her bags would be priced. She had already devised a pricing model and sales method to build her brand.
She would not lower the price of the bags, even if it meant she could not sell many. Once the price dropped, their value in her customer's eyes would also plunge. The short-term gains of such a marketing strategy would not make up for the losses.
What? You're still going to raise the price? Cao Meihua mused in incredulity.
That's ambitious!
I'm pursuing quality and novel designs. There'll never be many bags of each style or typeeach will be a limited edition. Think about it: your bag will be one of a kind. Isn't that amazing? I'm sacrificing sales for exclusivity. As you know, scarce things will certainly be expensive.
Cao Meihua had never heard of Su Wen's words before, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Her husband had many relatives, many of whom were better off than her. If her bag were truly one of a kind, she would stand in the limelight, with her relatives only able to stare at her in envy.
Just thinking about it made her feel that the price was worth it.
Are you really not selling these two?
I'm not selling it. If I sell something, it has to be something new. Su Wen stopped Su Qing discreetly, preventing her from speaking up.
hope the finished product will be no worse than these two. Otherwise, things will be awkward. Don't worry.
I'll pay the deposit first.
Cao Meihua paid a deposit of 100 yuan without hesitation. She had no money and had to raise the sum by asking her colleagues for help. Once Su Wen collected the deposit, she announced that she would be selling steamed cakes..
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
