In just one meal, the small courtyard outside the window was enveloped in darkness.
"dad,"
Jiang Shan opened his window and shouted: "Have the dishes been washed?"
"Come on, come on," Father Jiang, who had just walked out of the kitchen, shouted impatiently: "I know how to hurry, so you should come in and help me!"
"I won't wash the dishes today." Jiang Shan handed his father a cigarette: "Now, have you packed all the bowls with knife handles?"
Father Jiang put his hands together and lit the cigarette. While taking a puff of the cigarette, his whole body felt much more comfortable:
"Xiaochuan has a lot of study tasks recently. As a father, I will help if I can."
"How do you know she has a heavy academic workload?"
"She can speak for herself!"
"..." Jiang Shan nodded silently: "Dad, please sit down for a while, I'll be back soon."
"It's so late, where are you going?"
"At the doorstep."
Watching Jiang Shan leave, Dad Jiang began to look at the entire room.
The smell of smoke is light, mixed but not messy.
"Oh," Father Jiang, who was looking around, murmured to himself, "the two houses I bought from Lao Li are really worth it!"
After looking around briefly, Dad Jiang walked to the writing desk in front of the window.
"This is?" Looking at the drawings on the lanyard, Dad Jiang opened his mouth in surprise: "Is this what the third child wants me to see?"
On every piece of manuscript paper, there is a female model wearing a fashionable dress.
Compared with the model with only a few strokes, the clothes on the model are painted very carefully.
Singles, skirts, trousers...and a few jackets of different lengths.
For certain parts of the clothing, a small window was opened next to the overall rendering to enlarge the details.
In addition to the ones on the lanyard, there is also a large pile of manuscript paper piled on the desk.
After just a few glances, Father Jiang immediately pulled out the chair and sat on it.
One after another, the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became.
"Isn't this a costume design drawing? Will the third child still do this job?"
Compared with Lao San's hidden skills, the clothing styles on the drawing paper are what attracts Dad Jiang the most.
"What on earth is this third child thinking?" Looking at a dress on the drawing paper, Father Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "How did you come up with this?"
While Jiang Xiangnan was immersed in his youngest son's writing desk, Jiang Shan walked back to the small courtyard with two bags full of things.
When passing by the younger sister's room, Jiang Shan shouted softly to the open window: "The takeaway is here!"
"What?" Jiang Chuan, who was sitting in front of the window, immediately raised his head: "Ah, so many delicious foods are all for me?"
"It's for you two," Jiang Shan specially warned after handing a bag of things from the window: "Study hard and tell me what you want to eat. Don't save it for me."
"okay!"
Ying Ruhua, who was sitting inside, also came to the window with a smile.
Looking at a bag full of canned fruits, plums, egg rolls, beef jerky...the two little girls laughed so hard that their eyes were bent.
"Thank you, brother!"
"Brother, this is the best!"
"Don't go to bed too late at night, or your jaw will be on point."
"I have a pointed chin," Jiang Chuan replied happily: "Right it is like a picturesque one?"
"Yeah," Ying Ruhua smiled and nodded vigorously.
Looking at Ruhua's smiling face, Jiangchuan suddenly realized something.
When I looked out the window again, the little brother's figure had disappeared from the window.
After placing another bag of things on the dining table, Jiang Shan quickly ran back to his room.
"Where have you been?" Dad Jiang looked at Jiangshan and asked, "Are you going to buy snacks for the two little guys again?"
"I bought it for you and mom," Jiang Shan patted the raindrops on his body: "I also bought some for the high school student next door!"
"Well done," Father Jiang nodded and praised, "Is it raining?"
"It floated a little bit, but it's not too big."
"Third brother," Father Jiang asked, tapping the table, "Did you draw these?"
"How's it going? Do you feel okay?"
"I can't tell," Father Jiang said with a frown: "It looks pretty good, but I don't know if it will sell well."
The clothes styles on the drawing paper are indeed out of the ordinary for Jiang Xiangnan.
"After all, he is a veteran cadre of the garment factory," Jiang Shan said with a smile: "The direction of thinking about problems always revolves around economic benefits."
"Absolutely," Jiang Xiangnan said matter-of-factly: "Your design is just like a flower. If there is no market, it will be in vain."
"So when you look at these drawings of mine and don't dare to draw conclusions, is it because you don't know whether they will sell well?"
"Well, I'm really not sure."
"Okay, let me ask you again," Jiang Shan pulled a chair and sat down: "If you think about it carefully, how did those bell-bottom pants last year sell out in the end?"
"There's no need to think about it. Of course it was my little son who gave you the idea."
Whenever Jiang Xiangnan talks about this matter, he is the proudest.
He admired Jiang Shan for this. How could he be so sure at that time that the bell-bottom pants accumulated in the warehouse would become a best-seller?
"Dad, let me ask you something, if there weren't those two Japanese movies, would those bell-bottom pants be sold?"
"this……?"
At this moment, Father Jiang suddenly remembered those display boards showing Mayumi and Kurihara Komaki:
"To be honest, if Mayumi wasn't wearing pants at that time, those bell-bottom pants would definitely not be sold."
"hehe!"
"Why are you laughing? Am I right?"
"You are absolutely right,"
Seeing that his father could understand this, Jiang Shan directly opened the drawer of the desk: "Dad, please take a look at these again."
"Whose photo is this?" After taking the stack of photos handed over by his son, Dad Jiang flipped through them one by one:
"Isn't this Xiao Yu? Who is this other lesbian?"
"Don't worry about who she is," Jiang Shan patiently guided, "first look at their clothes."
"I'm watching,"
Due to the sensitivity of the profession, Jiang Xiangnan didn't need to remind Jiang Shan that Jiang Xiangnan was already staring at the clothes in the photo.
"Let me tell you," Father Jiang looked at them one by one: "The costumes worn by these two lesbians are no worse than those in Japanese movies."
"Of course," Jiang Shan explained with a smile, "the clothes you see now are originally from the movie."
"What?" Dad Jiang raised his head in surprise: "These are the costumes in the movie?"
"Absolutely true."
"What kind of movie is this? Why haven't I seen it?"
"Of course you haven't seen it," Jiang Shan said mysteriously, "It hasn't been photographed yet."
"Then how did you know?"
"Who is your son?" Jiang Shan smiled and said, "You don't even think about who I spend all day with."
"Oh," Father Jiang finally figured it out: "Did you find out about this in advance?"
"Well," Jiang Shan nodded heavily: "Dad, this matter is not trivial. Please don't tell anyone."
"Your dad is not stupid,"
Father Jiang rolled his eyes at the third child, and inadvertently glanced at the drawing on the table: "Hey, it turns out that the clothes you designed...were based on this photo!"
"Shh, you just have to be aware of this."
"Third brother," Father Jiang looked at Jiangshan for a while: "You are not thinking about these clothes, are you?"
"You are my father, I can't hide it from anyone," Jiang Shan took the initiative to confess:
"The other lesbian in the photo just now is an actress. Pujiang Film Studio is filming a movie and it will be released next year..."
After listening to Jiang Shan's explanation, Jiang Xiangnan finally understood: "So, the clothes worn by this actress will be as popular as Mayumi's bell-bottom pants?"
"Yes," Jiang Shan nodded: "I'm 100% sure that these clothes will be a big hit."
Looking at his son's firm gaze, Jiang Xiangnan also nodded:
"I believe this. The original style of the clothes is good. If it is shown in a movie, lesbians will definitely follow suit."
"You will look at these design drawings again now," Jiang Shan asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's a very good design," Jiang Shan said seriously, "it should be very popular in the market."
Hahahaha~
After the father and son laughed for a while, Jiang Shan suddenly thought of a question: "Dad, can you help me calculate the cost of each piece of clothing?"
"I just wanted to ask you," Father Jiang said seriously: "What on earth do you want to do after you put so much effort..."
"Of course I want to buy and sell these clothes."
"Um!"
Father Jiang nodded, it was pretty much what he expected.
Before, Jiangshan's toy business was kept secret from his family.
Now, when I hear him say this again, of course I understand.
"Go get my reading glasses," Dad Jiang said immediately, "I'll do the math for you."
"okay!"
For more than an hour after that, Dad Jiang told Jiang Shan a lot about the clothing industry.
Even in the current clothing factory in Pujiang, not all clothes can be reproduced one-to-one.
Jiang Xiangnan made a preliminary estimate that out of the more than 40 sets of costumes in the movie "Love in Lushan", the second clothing factory should be able to produce no more than 30 pieces.
"The fabric, the locks, and the production process," Jiang's father said to his son, "all have limitations. I estimate that I can only make about thirty pieces."
"Actually, they don't have to be exactly the same." Jiang Shan has already considered this issue: "The fabric patterns and colors can be fine-tuned. The most important thing is the production cost of the clothes."
"I can only give you a rough estimate on this. The estimated cost price is between 3 yuan and more than 20 yuan."
Considering the season when "Romance in Lushan" is released, Jiangshan will not delay the sale of clothes until winter.
So, after looking at his father's estimated cost price, he decided immediately.
“We don’t want thick woolen coats,”
As soon as he finished speaking, several photos were taken out of his hand.
"These sweaters and woolen sweaters must also be eliminated," Dad Jiang said, pointing to the photo.
"Well," after taking out a few more photos: "Pajamas and nightgowns won't work either."
With a few swipes, Jiang Shan only had half of the photo left in his hand.
"It's still a bit much," Jiang Shan said, looking at the twenty or so photos in his hand: "There aren't many styles of clothes, but they must be easy to sell."
Father Jiang understood what he meant: "Let's do this. I'll call Lao Bao to my house in two days and ask him to help you with your advice. He will also help you revise the design drawings. Your drawings are not formal.
."
"That would be great," Jiang Shan then asked: "Dad, what do you think I would give these clothes to your workshop for production?"
"Do you want to ask our factory to help you produce it?"
"Yes, I can rest assured if I leave it to you!"
In fact, Father Jiang also has this idea.
After all, he is in this business. As a father, he naturally wants to help with his son's business.
"Processing of samples..." Father Jiang began to think about it: "Our fourth workshop has been doing this for a long time, but...it's all business to business!"
"This is also a business-to-business relationship," Jiang Shan reminded: "You have forgotten, Yu Sigui and I are in the company...the official seal is still in my drawer!"
"How many clothes do you want to order?"
"It doesn't take much at the beginning," Jiangshan made a budget: "First make 2,000 pieces of each style. Once it becomes popular, we will place orders while taking them. This thing is quick. After two or three batches are made, it will be almost ready.
Stop it."
"If I just choose 15 styles as you said, excluding the high-cost ones, the average price will be around 6 or 7 yuan, and if I order 2,000 pieces of each style..."
Jiang Xiangnan muttered and figured it out.
It’s not okay, the more I think about it, the more panic I get!
"Are you returning two or three batches?" Jiang Xiangnan looked at Jiang Shan in surprise: "I'll just assume that you earn an average price of 6 yuan. Do you know how much you can earn from the first batch of goods?"
"I know," Jiang Shan had already calculated: "Otherwise, why would Ren Yu Sigui cooperate with me?"
"Oh," Father Jiang finally realized: "After all, she is the daughter of a capitalist. She just dares to think and do what she wants!"
"That's a bad thing to say," Jiang Shan smiled: "I'm still the son of the worker's big brother, and I still dare to think and do!"
"That's true," Father Jiang smiled and shook his head, but the next second he asked cautiously: "Are these clothes of yours really what you see in the movie?"
"How can I talk nonsense about this?" Jiang Shante said seriously: "Yu Sigui and I took the photos together, and she even helped me try on a few pieces!"
"Then I'll be relieved." Jiang Xiangnan suddenly remembered a comrade: "Gold will always shine? Haha."
Jiang Shan knew what his father was thinking:
"In this day and age, the styles are so fashionable that people won't dare to wear them. But if it appears in a movie... it will be different!"
What's more, it was a movie that set several records in a row.
At that time, many lesbians ran to the mall as soon as they walked out of the movie theater.
People all over the street are looking for the costumes from "Romance in Lushan Mountain".
For a time, even tailor shops were rushing to make Zhang Yu's same style of clothes day and night.
Thinking that his fourth workshop could receive orders for best-selling clothing, Jiang Xiangnan felt obviously much more comfortable.
"Third brother," what Father Jiang is most worried about right now is: "These clothes will definitely sell well, right? Why am I so unreliable!"
"Just relax,"
Jiang Shan had already planned it: "When the time comes, not only will there be movies advertising for us, but I will also ask my two actor friends to help with advertising?"
"Your actor friends?" Father Jiang slapped his thigh and said, "You are talking about Pan Hong and Liu Xiaoqing, right? Oh, you should have told me earlier!"
Seeing Father Jiang’s smiling face, Jiang Shan’s mood became more and more beautiful!
