962 The Story Behind It All (1/2)
When she heard what Qiao Weilan said, Ning Xi looked up from her documents and exclaimed, ”To be honest, I was surprised myself...we really owe Keer a huge one this time! When I'm done with all this, I must treat her to a feast!”
”Boss, Boss! We have so many orders flowing in. Do we have to start rushing the production for the new items? I'm worried that we don't have enough manpower. We only have 10 craftsmen to cater to the bespoke orders....”
Ning Xi nodded at Qiao Weilan and said, ”Director Qian, you should already have a plan in mind, don't you?”
Since Qiao Weilan had dared to suggest that risky idea to just give the clothes away, she should definitely have something in mind already.
Qiao Weilan said briskly, ”My plan is to temporarily reject all of the orders. If anyone asks, we'll just have to answer that we've run out of stock and that high-quality bespoke pieces must all be pre-ordered three months in advance. The customers who successfully pre-order will be serviced personally by our team who'll tailor outfit styles based on their image and aura.”
”Ah! Reject all of them?! All?” Han Momo widened her eyes in shock.
However, she was not as impulsive this time. Instead, she contemplated Qiao Weilan's reasoning. ”Director Qiao, are you trying to create the idea that the rarer something is, the greater it is in value?”
Qiao Weilan nodded. ”That's right. To the customers, something that's too easily attainable will be just as easy to ditch aside. The harder it is to purchase would only make them treasure and covet it more. If we give in to every request, they'll lose interest very quickly and even feel like they aren't special if everyone else wears the same piece too. This is why History got overdone in the socialite circle so quickly. They fell short of the market peak just for momentary profit.”
Ning Xi snapped her fingers. ”Okay, let's do that then! Coincidentally, we need to renovate our office and hire new staff and all that...”
Qiao Weilan paused, then continued, ”Additionally, I have another piece of good news and the time is quite ripe now. I've shortlisted quite a few retailers with good potential, so we can begin our physical flagship stores.”
”Whoa! Hurray!” Han Momo tugged at Gong Shangze's arm and cheered excitedly.
Ning Xi felt moved with a myriad of emotions bubbling within her. Finally...finally, we made it...
