Chapter 62
Every night thereafter, the girls and the two young men would sit at the craft table and work hard.
Lin Shuying came out for a drink and saw them, then asked with a smile, "Yaochen, Zhiqi, are you practicing or planning to make these for your girlfriends?"
The two men said somewhat embarrassedly, "We've taken on this task, boss. Do you mind?"
Lin Shuying guessed that it was probably the work of other employees in the studio, so she smiled and said, "I don't mind. I'm a little curious about whose task you're taking. I'll be unhappy if you use my materials to take on freelance work outside of the studio."
"No, no, it's Qiaoqiao and Yunzhi."
Lin Shuying smiled and offered a few words of encouragement before taking a glass of water back to her room.
Xia Chunqi tilted her head and asked curiously, "Can you reveal the details of the transaction?"
The two coughed and shook their heads.
Liang Ranran looked over curiously, "Tell us, we promise we won't tell anyone."
Lu Yaochen: "I just changed a bird in the game."
Zhang Zhiqi: "Sister Qiaoqiao promised to let me pick one of the goldfish she had."
Xia Chunqi said regretfully, "Such good terms! If they had approached all four of us, wouldn't they have gotten the full payment?"
Zhang Zhiqi: "I have all of Qiaoqiao's orders. How can one item be exchanged for a fish?"
Liang Ranran: "We're making an offline version, so it's definitely more expensive than the game version. You two are losing out."
The two smiled but didn't say anything; it was just an excuse to practice and study more.
This is a skill, and there's no reason for you to slack off while others are diligently learning it.
Qingfengyi's job benefits are so good that I feel like I'd be letting this job down if I didn't work hard at all.
Lin Shuying returned to the game pod and began drawing design sketches.
The process involves disassembling the clothing in the game into pattern designs, which are then given to Liang Ranran and her team to be made into finished garments. Currently, the three of them cannot simply create a garment from a single piece of clothing they see.
Actually, she couldn't do that either. She needed to convert the clothes into a pattern, cut out a template based on the pattern, and finally cut the fabric based on the template.
Sewing is just one step in making clothes.
Lin Shuying doesn't plan to make clothes for herself to sell. Lin Qiaoqiao will send the custom orders she receives to clothing studios that she thinks are good to make them, and then she will come to make changes to the details after they are made.
Even so, the number of orders they can take is very small, let alone making their own.
She was very fast, but there were too many customers.
However, he only takes on one custom-made piece a month, just like the haute couture in his previous life, and such a piece of clothing starts at least in the millions.
Qingfengyi is now fully capable of handling such a large order.
Liang Ranran's skills have reached the point where she can handle simple custom-made clothing. Currently, her custom-made clothing prices are around 300,000 yuan, which is slightly higher than other clothing customization studios by 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
While thinking, he imported the design into the computer. This time, the more complex Linglong Yellow Carp design was left to Liang Ranran to make. It was time for her to get involved in the production of more complex and detailed clothing designs.
Let's see how it goes. If it's good, then let Lin Qiaoqiao raise the price. If she can make this outfit and the details are good, then with Liang Ranran's skills, around 500,000 is possible.
Lin Shu-ying places great importance on training her apprentices, as designers are the most crucial element of a fashion studio. Only with a sufficient number of designers can a business grow, which is essentially similar to an entertainment company.
The more skilled and renowned custom designers you have, the more large orders you can take on, and the more high-end clients will actively seek you out.
Only in this way can you make big money steadily and sustainably.
After that, the three of them split their workdays into two segments: making velvet hairpins in the morning and making clothes in the afternoon.
Zhang Zhiqi and Lu Yaochen made a round-necked robe with a squid soaring into the sky. This design is slightly simpler than the other garments. The intricate part is the carp soaring into the sky pattern, which must be embroidered delicately with fine, even stitching.
It's difficult to achieve this with machine embroidery; it requires a lot of hard work. However, it also helps develop skills and makes for a great learning project.
At first, the two people were asked to make plain sample garments. Only after they were proficient could they begin to embroider the surface.
There are quite a few details and components on Liang Ranran's side.
Clothes made from light-colored fabrics can be incredibly beautiful and ethereal when done well. However, they can also be disastrous if done poorly, because the details are highlighted even more on these types of garments.
The exquisite yellow carp design, in particular, emphasizes a flowing, draping, ethereal, and lightweight yet loose feel, with a sense of layered weight. The fabric used is lightweight. Even slight deviations in the embroidery or stitching will result in unevenness, making it appear stiff and unattractive.
When buying Hanfu, the key factors are embroidery, stitching, and design; these three aspects seem to apply to haute couture clothing as well.
Time flies when you're doing crafts. By the time the game activity ended, the four of them had prepared ten outfits, making the exhibition even more exciting.
There are also 300 velvet flowers, with 60 pieces made for each of the five designs.
There are many more than last time.
One hundred and eighty stores operate online, while the rest operate offline.
The exhibition hall was closed for a day, and the eleven people in the studio worked together all day to put the new display cases in, set up the lighting, decorations, and adjust the layout, etc.
A simple change can make a lot of things right.
That evening, Lin Shuying asked, "Qiaoqiao, have you found any new ingredients to recreate recently? Let's cook a nice meal to treat everyone."
There are too many things involved in the exhibition hall layout and design, and the exhibits are very fragmented, so robots can't handle it; it's all done by humans.
We should really treat these employees; it's been over three months since we last had lobster, and we've been really craving it...
Lin Qiaoqiao checked the StarNet food ingredient announcement section and actually found a slice of beef.
"Boss, a sliced beef?"
Lin Shuying's eyes lit up. "There's beef?"
"It was just restored. I heard that this time it was a beef platter made by a genius chef from Vulcan. The ingredients and seasonings were all prepared in advance, so you can just cook it directly after bringing it back. The taste is 90% comparable to that of our home planet! It's just a bit expensive."
Lin Shuying waved her hand and said, "Place the order!"
My mouth waters just thinking about sliced beef—tomato sliced beef, spicy sliced beef, tangy sliced beef...
She loved it so much in her past life that she would meet up with familiar friends for a meal once a week.
Although I don't have a strong appetite, I still enjoy life. Nobody goes against food, hehe.
Actually, her mom's potato and beef stir-fry is absolutely delicious!
Sigh, I have mixed feelings.
She is very independent and not very clingy to her parents; she has always been that way.
If the original owner had transmigrated there, the interstellar people's behavior could have been concealed.
Lin Qiaoqiao quickly ordered two tables' worth of food, asking, "Is tomato and beef okay?"
People who aren't good at eating spicy food find this flavor not stimulating enough.
Lin Shuying asked, "Are there any other flavors?"
Lin Qiaoqiao: "There's also a spicy potato one."
Isn't this just a coincidence?
Lin Shuying immediately said, "One serving of tomatoes and one serving of potatoes, please."
"it is good."
After cleaning up the scene, the beef platter arrived just as I was leaving.
In case most families don't have a kitchen, they thoughtfully provided a stove, pots and pans, and a robot to collect the tableware after the meal.
These tablewares belong to someone else; we can't keep them.
Of course, if money isn't an issue, you can buy the tableware yourself...
Opening the plate, I found it piled high with sliced beef, a presentation very similar to what I'd seen in my previous life. Unlike the lobster from before, which was practically a product of nuclear contamination.
The pot is a divided pot, with potatoes on one side and tomatoes on the other.
The side with potatoes includes onions, potatoes, bok choy, leafy greens, and tomato slices.
Are there onions, cabbage, bok choy, and potato slices over there?
Isn't this the same?
However, the taste differs after the soup boils. The potato side has a spicy and numbing aroma, although the flavor is very mild. The tomato side has a tomato flavor, and it's a bit sweet.
Lin Shuying suspected that a second person had traveled through time; the smell really resembled the beef hot pot from Blue Star China.
After the soup is ready, I scooped out a bowl of tomato soup to drink. The taste was very light, and only the color met my requirements.
It's about the same to the tastes of interstellar people; the flavor is just right.
After we finished eating, we sat in the living room and chatted.
Lin Shuying: "Chunqi, did you tell your aunt when you came to visit me after graduation?"
Xia Chunqi: "I told you to thank my sister for taking me in. Hehe."
Lin Shuying pinched her cheek, saying that she had become fair and tender from being raised here.
"Do a good job, and I'll buy your aunt and uncle a luxury flying machine later."
Xia Chunqi pulled back her composure and laughed, "Shouldn't we immigrate to a first-class star?"
Lin Shuying: "Is there a difference between a first-magnitude star and Planet Aimor?"
Not everyone stays at home.
It's just that there's a large population, high resource mobility, and abundant opportunities. If you already have plenty of resources and can still make your mark in your current location, then it doesn't really matter where you go.
It's better to stay in a familiar place, at least it's familiar.
After thinking about it, the group realized there seemed to be no difference to them...
The current salary level is equivalent to a first-class star, right?
Especially Lin Qiaoqiao and Liang Ranran, one gets a commission based on contracts, and the other gets a commission based on products. Most designers at First-Class Star probably can't even catch up; they should just stay put.
When the topic came up, Lin Qiaoqiao thought of the recent discussions about introducing a collaboration with the Kui Lang Shen Xing game, so she mentioned it to Lin Shuying.
“Boss, the cooperation with Kuilang Star also needs to be integrated with Aimore Planet. Aimore's current technology is not up to par, so they need to introduce the technology from Wenchang Star. Wenchang Star is holding us back, wanting us to introduce it to them for free. I didn't agree. Are you in a hurry? If not, I'll stall and let Kuilang negotiate it themselves.”
Vega refused to transfer its access technology, Wolf Star lacked the technology, while Wenchang Star possessed even more advanced technology. Vega also wanted to monopolize the initiative for a period of time, secretly hindering the entry of both companies.
The planet's owner was also trying to gain more benefits from the situation, creating a chaotic mess. Lin Qiaoqiao was so busy that her brain was about to evolve.
If the boss hadn't asked her to plan to give up, then Qingfengyi wouldn't be the one in a hurry anyway.
Lin Shuying currently has a need for game space, but the guild is still a work in progress.
However, cooperation should not be rushed, otherwise it will give the opponent a handle to exploit your weaknesses. It is better to take it slow.
"Just proceed at your own pace."
Lin Qiaoqiao: "They said you really need design points here and urgently need a large number of players to join. If you're in a hurry, I'll talk to the Weaver Girl Star and ask them to let some more players in."
Vega has already entered the game, making things easier to manage.
Although interstellar space is a community of all humanity, each individual on a different planet remains an isolated entity. Control technologies from above advance downwards, while those below strive to break through barriers, resulting in considerable competitive pressure.
