Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 170 Advanced Customization
The dug water chestnuts are cleaned by the stream, and then brought back.It weighs more than three catties in total, and they are all very big and fat.

Water chestnuts can be eaten raw, cooked, or stewed in chicken soup. They are all delicious and nutritious.

The little girl is very happy today. The water chestnuts she dug by herself are so fulfilling.

Back in the small courtyard, Cheng He washed her face and changed into clean clothes, then said: "Go and bring a small stool and sit here while Dad cuts water chestnuts for you."

Eating water chestnuts is just as troublesome-peel the skin for a long time and eat it in one bite.

The little girl happily ran in, brought a small stool, sat down neatly, and waited to eat.

The skin of water chestnuts is black, but the flesh is snow-white. After finally peeling off one, Cheng He gave it to the little girl and said, "Eat slowly."

Really eat slowly.Otherwise, she will finish eating this one, and the next one will not be cut yet.

The little girl took the water chestnut happily, then stood up and walked towards Cheng He.

Cheng He was picking up the next water chestnut, and when he was about to peel it, the little girl came over unexpectedly, put her arms around his neck, kissed him on the face, and said childishly, "Thank you, Dad."

At this moment, Cheng He's heart was so sweet.

Not to mention that water chestnuts are difficult to cut, no matter how difficult it is, he will not dislike it!
He smiled and said, "You're welcome, go back and sit down, and be careful not to touch the knife in my hand."

The little girl sat back on her little stool again, and began to gnaw the water chestnuts in her hand beautifully.

He cut a few for the little girl, and he ate a few for himself. Let's save the rest for the chicken soup at night.There are many more anyway.

Just as he was having fun, a man poked his head in at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Hello, is this Mr. Cheng He's home?"

It's a woman's voice, pure Mandarin, it sounds like a foreigner, I'm afraid they came here to talk about Su Lanzi's cooperation again?

But he has already signed an exclusive contract with Su Youyue's company, and he can just politely ask someone to go back later.

While packing up the knife in his hand, Cheng He said, "I am. Are you?"

When someone came in, he was obviously attracted by the unique beauty of the yard as soon as he came in, and he forgot to introduce himself first.

After looking at the yard for several seconds, he came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Cheng, hello. I am from Beili Clothing Company, and my surname is Guo."

Speak slowly, without rush.

Cheng He was taken aback, clothing company?

Why did the clothing company come to find me?This is completely irrelevant.

But he also greeted people with a smile: "Hello."

This is a woman in her thirties with a special temperament.The clothes she is wearing are a bit like a modified cheongsam, embroidered with flowers, giving people a gentle and demure feeling.

In terms of appearance, this woman is not really beautiful, but after wearing the cheongsam, her ladylike temperament made her look completely different.

In fact, we all know that wearing a cheongsam shows off your figure very well, and people with a good figure will look more elegant in it.

Cheng He usually doesn't stare at people like this, and he doesn't often describe a woman like this, but this woman gives people such a strong feeling.

Although it looks demure, it can leave a deep impression on people.

The woman handed Cheng He a business card, "Design Director of China Beili Clothing Co., Ltd., Guo Bei."

The name of the company directly hangs "China", which looks very tall.And he is also the design director, so his status is a bit bluffing.

But Cheng He didn't know much about the apparel industry, and he didn't know if the company was famous or not, and how famous the director was.

It is said that all barbershops now basically have two or three design directors with foreign names such as Tony and Jack.

I don't know how the clothing industry is.

Cheng He looked puzzled, and asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter with me?"

Guo Bei explained: "It's like this. I have always paid attention to the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village and think it is very beautiful. I would like to ask if we can have a cooperation."

When the word cooperation was mentioned, Cheng He came to the spirit, cooperation is money!

He hurriedly let the person into the main room and said: "Then please go inside and talk."

Guo Bei didn't refuse, and followed in with a smile.

Entering the main room, the artistic atmosphere in the room surprised her again, and she looked around so much that she forgot to sit down.

Cheng He smiled, it seems that Lu Wenpeng's ability is really not a lie.

Almost all women walk in here and don't want to leave.

Zhao Sizai is like this, and Yu Fei even praised the place as beautiful, authentic country style, with a bit of artistic flavor, it's so charming.

It was the same when Jiang Yutong came in before, and later asked him if there was a guest room at home, and she said that she didn't want to live in the farmhouse, because the farmhouse was not as beautiful as here.

Cheng He thought she was joking and laughed it off.

Even if he has a spare room here, it's not suitable for her to live in a girl, right?Those who are lonely and widowed are not good.

Guo Bei sat down and explained to Cheng He why he came.

She said that the route her company has been taking is Chinese style, high-end customization, and the current market response is good.

The company will launch a new season of products soon, and she wants to broaden the way of Chinese style.

She wants to add some Taohuacun bamboo weaving elements to the newly developed sub-line products, because this is very "Chinese style".

That's what she said, working with Taohua Village Bamboo Weaving.

Cheng He heard half of it.

Clothing companies can also cooperate with Taohua Village Bamboo Weaving?How to cooperate?
Guo Bei smiled: "Technical issues may require some exploration. Because I don't know anything about bamboo weaving, and the bamboo weaving masters in Taohua Village probably don't understand the technology of clothing."

Cheng He nodded, that's the reason.

The cross-border artistic alliance between Jiang Qian and Taohua Village is basically led by Jiang Qian, which is also because he came up with the idea after learning about bamboo weaving in Taohua Village for a period of time.

Now the apparel industry, and the bamboo weaving of Taohua Village, can also cross-border alliance?

Guo Bei said: "We can try!"

Her voice is still soft and pleasant, but it can give people a very firm feeling.

Probably this is the aura of the design director, right?
As she said, Cheng He took her to several bamboo weaving houses.

The time to harvest rice is now busy.However, many families are run by the elderly, and young people are busy in the fields when they come back from outside.

It's not like everyone shuts down.

Guo Bei went to the village to watch the bamboo weaving, and brought an assistant with her.

While Guo Bei was studying bamboo weaving art by himself, Cheng He took the time to search on his mobile phone, "Bei Li Clothing Company", this search almost shocked him.

Advanced customization, these four words are so close to him for the first time.

In his cognition, advanced customization generally refers to international big names such as "Armani", "Hermes".

In other words, advanced customization has always been the exclusive private domain of foreign brands.

Ordinary people show off their status, and they can't help but say: My silk scarf is exclusively customized by XX brand, and my dog ​​collar is customized by a certain brand. How many pieces are limited in the world...

Even such-and-such cars and such-and-such watches also have advanced customization, which reflects the dignity and extraordinaryness of some customers.

Advanced customization has always been a symbol of status and wealth.

All these international brands have one thing in common - they are all foreign.

Rich families all over the world are staring at those international brands.

If he hadn't searched for this business card, Cheng He would never have thought that our own country could have such "advanced customization".

In fact, this company is not new, and has improved every year in the past ten years.

It's just that Cheng He was not in that circle and didn't pay attention.

As long as you pay a little attention to the celebrity circle, you will have some understanding.

For example, star Fan Xiaobing wore a phoenix gown one year and went to the Cannes Celebrity Awards Ceremony, which amazed the audience and made her the number one "red carpet star" ever since;

For example, in the Spring Festival Gala of a certain year, Song Zuying wore a certain shiny dress and sang "Camellia", and the costume and temperament were discussed for half a month;
For example, at the Oscars in a certain year, Zhang Yuqi wore a green dress, revealing her proud "east, west and northern hemispheres", which also raised her popularity;

The list goes on and on, and they all come from one place: Belle Clothing Company, Haute Couture.

People outside the industry don't know, but people in the industry have to admit that this company is recognized as the best in China in terms of advanced customization.

This company has always focused on "Chinese style", and every piece of clothing can be reflected in the details.

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, advanced customization has one characteristic: the price is extremely expensive.Most of their consumers are celebrities.

Cheng He couldn't believe that such a brand clothing company had found Taohua Village to cooperate with.

It seems that Taohua Village's bamboo weaving is already very well known.

Cheng He felt very relieved to see the old craftsmanship in his village with such influence.

However, he still has no idea how to cooperate with the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village and the high-end custom clothing company.

These two are completely irrelevant!
But after just a few days, Cheng He denied his own idea—clothes are not just clothes!

Beili clothing company has added some secondary line products, such as women's handbags, shoes, jewelry and so on.

Guo Bei's idea is to make the bamboo weaving from Taohua Village into accessories to match these objects.

For example, one side of the bag is partially woven with a special pattern made of bamboo, or a cute bamboo ornament is hung on the zipper of the bag, or a cute bamboo dragonfly is added to the hat, or small bamboo objects are used for earring pendants and necklace pendants production.

These are Guo Bei's preliminary ideas. The current bamboo weaving products do not have these. She is trying to find ways to communicate with the villagers.

Cheng He looked at a pair of manuscripts she had drawn, and secretly admired them. The big design director was different. He looked gentle and demure, but the manuscripts were really top-notch.

Even a layman like him can understand.

He really opened his eyes - he can still mix and match like this!The head of the big design director looks different from others.

The rest of the communication was between him and the villagers.

After Guo Bei's patient explanation, he already knew roughly how to do it. So, based on his own understanding and the fact that he also knew the process of bamboo weaving, he finally explained the general idea clearly.

Taohua Village Bamboo Weaving and Beili Clothing Co., Ltd. jointly develop products, which is a completely commercial cooperation.

Jiang Qian used his artistic reputation to co-brand with the bamboo weaving of Taohua Village, which raised his fame and broadened his horizons; but the current cooperation is purely economical.

Of course, there will be many opportunities to become famous, after all, these products are all in cooperation with celebrities.

Cheng He suddenly felt that he was very tall. Now some foreign brands of shoes seem to have started joint operation, and I heard that the sales effect is not bad.

The name seems to be coconut shoes?
