After burying the turtle eggs, Lin Wanwan climbed back over the mountain to the car. The place was remote, and even if the car was parked casually on the roadside, there would be no traffic policeman to issue a ticket.
Lin Wanwan drove leisurely and was not in a hurry to go back. She planned to go to the shopping mall outside to look at the design of the double-sided embroidery table, and then buy some silk thread.
In recent years, due to the development of the online shopping industry and the impact of certain reasons, the physical industry has been in a depression.
Many shopping malls in Yongcheng have a vacancy rate of over 60%. Shops of all sizes, educational institutions, and amusement parks have closed down one after another. The only ones that have managed to survive are either luxury stores or gourmet stores.
Lin Wanwan went directly to Times Square. There were basically all luxury stores there, including an embroidery store. The minimum price for an embroidery piece was several thousand, and a larger screen cost tens of thousands.
When we arrived at the mall, we entered a store called Yanyu Qiao Niang on the third floor.
Lin Wanwan looked at the dazzling array of embroidery on display in the store, and secretly compared it with the embroidery she saw in the noble houses of the Tang Dynasty. She actually felt that the embroidery worth thousands or tens of thousands in the store was unsightly.
The embroidery here can't be said to be bad. Anyway, it is much better than the machine embroidery on the Internet. The level of sophistication is not the same, but the overall craftsmanship is too strong.
It is difficult to describe Lin Wanwan in precise words. This feeling is probably the same as Pu Yi looking at antiques.
Puyi couldn't tell the difference between real and fake products, just like the experts, but he could tell the difference between real and fake products at a glance.
Without him, I have seen and touched many things since I was a child, and I am familiar with them.
Most of the embroidery on Lin Wanwan's clothes in the Tang Dynasty was embroidered by Yun Shang herself, and it was definitely of the best quality. Looking at the entire store here, there were only a few that could compare with Yun Shang's embroidery works, and her vision gradually improved.
.
Lin Wanwan stopped in front of an embroidery picture hanging in the center to admire it. The picture above looked like the characters in Dream of Red Mansions. This was a fine piece of embroidery comparable to Yun Shang's works.
The embroidery shows, in order, Jia Yuanchun who plays the piano and his maid, Jia Yingchun who plays chess and his maid, Jia Tanchun who writes and his maid, and Jia Xichun who paints and his maid.
The colors and morphological details of the entire embroidery are all lifelike, and the character's clothing style is a mixture of Song and Ming dynasties, with half-sleeves and silk draped as the mainstay.
"Hello, are you interested in this embroidery? This one is a picture of Four Spring Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting in Dream of Red Mansions. It was embroidered by our chief embroiderer of Yanyu Qiao Niang. It is one of the treasures of the shop here.
Our store is headquartered in Suzhou, and there are more than a hundred embroiderers who specialize in customizing our brand. The skills of the embroiderers in the store are passed down from generation to generation in the family, and flat stitch embroidery and random stitch embroidery are very superior..."
The clerk in the store began to introduce Lin Wanwan in a "blah blah" manner. Although Lin Wanwan was staring at the embroidery, her ears were listening carefully.
While listening, Lin Wanwan suddenly came up with the idea of opening an embroidery shop.
She started cross-border e-commerce and invited Gu Jingyu to run the store for her. If possible, she would build a store in Times Square and invite her cousin to run it for her.
The shop doesn’t have to be big, just have a master. It’s absolutely feasible to collect embroidery from the Tang Dynasty and sell it in modern times, and take the high-end luxury route!
It doesn't matter whether the physical store makes money or not. She mainly needs a physical store address and focuses on cross-border e-commerce.
Cross-border e-commerce has just started in Yongcheng, and everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Everything from taxation to customs is still very confusing, which is suitable for Lin Wanwan to move goods from Datang.
After the clerk finished introducing it, Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded: "Please pack this painting for me, thank you."
The clerk smiled and said: "Okay, wait a moment, I will bring you the frame to choose from. You can choose the one you like."
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Okay. Do you have a double-sided embroidery table here? Bring it to me to choose one."
"Yes, how big do you want it to be?"
"It's about thirty centimeters wide and about forty centimeters long."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The other party invited Lin Wanwan to sit down on a Chinese-style chair nearby, and soon brought out two albums, one was a mural-style framed album, and the other was an album of various objects such as tables and screens.
Lin Wanwan each chose one and asked the other party to place an order.
"Hello, would you like to ask if you only need to set up the table, not the embroidery? (This chapter is not finished yet!)

?"
"Yes, I have embroidery that needs to be framed."
"Okay, please wait a moment. This Su embroidery picture of the Four Spring Festival and the mahogany frame cost 93,800 yuan, and the table alone costs 9,000 yuan."
"Okay, I will also buy some more silk threads. Can I pay by mobile phone?"
"Okay, please scan the code."
Lin Wanwan readily opened the mobile financial app and paid. There was no bargaining at the Times Square store. Anyway, when you walked in, you had to understand that what was being sold was expensive.
"Miss, you can apply for a membership card at my house, and your consumption this time will be counted into points. With an annual consumption of 200,000, you will be a member and enjoy a 9.30% discount and queue-jumping customization privileges."
Lin Wanwan shook her head: "No need to do it."
After paying and taking the order, Lin Wanwan directly took away the finished product for setting up the table. As for the Four Spring Pictures, the other party had to re-frame it before notifying Lin Wanwan to pick it up. If you were a member, there would be door-to-door delivery service, but Lin Wanwan didn't.
The picture is so convenient.
Rather than reveal her home address, she would rather make the trip herself.
For this table, she would take it back to ancient times to make a sample for the craftsmen, and then make a new one out of small-leaf rosewood. As for the glass on it, she could take it out and use it directly.
After coming out of Pretty Lady, Lin Wanwan went directly to the real estate company in Times Square to inquire about setting up a store.
It's just that these days, when the vacancy rate in all shopping malls is so high, Times Square is still full and there are no vacancies.
Moreover, the other party also told Lin Wanwan directly that even if there were vacancies, if he wanted to open a store in Times Square, he would have to go through their inspection first, and a little-known store would obviously not work.
Not all brands are qualified to be in the same shopping mall as sv, Xiang Nai Nai, Diao and other brands.
Lin Wanwan didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't even spend the money.
No wonder the bags and clothes in this square are sold for tens of thousands, and people pay for them. Even with this differentiated treatment, it is enough for the rich and middle class to pay for them.
However, the more barriers there are to entry, the more Lin Wanwan wants to enter. The target consumer group here has too much money, so it would be a pity to give up.
I looked at the time and saw it was five o'clock in the afternoon. It would be the usual off-duty time in half an hour.
Lin Wanwan called Gu Jingyu and asked her to have dinner after get off work. She planned to ask her about cross-border e-commerce and recruit people by the way.
It was rare for Lin Wanwan to ask her out, so she naturally agreed. Lin Wanwan turned around and drove to Gu Jingyu's company. It took exactly half an hour to drive from Times Square to Gu Jingyu's company.
