I Can’t Act Anymore

Chapter 76

Mu Mu followed with a question mark and went out.

He ran to the computer, opened the background and took a look, his mind buzzing.

The male star jumped up from the sofa: “How is it?!”

“821.” Mu Mu turned to look at him, “At present.”

The male star was stunned for two seconds, then slapped his thigh: “Fuck! Am I dreaming?”

“No.” Mu Mu shook his head, looking at the more than 800 sales in half an hour, his head suddenly became bald.

Although they deliberately chose to release this pre-sale on a rest day, the sales volume is a bit outrageous.

This sales volume, let alone baby clothes, many normal adult clothes can’t reach it!

Mu Mu got out of the chair and took a deep breath: “Look, I’ll contact the factory again.”

According to the number in his mind, Mu Mu reported to the factory a quantity of 480 sets, including possible defects and variables.

Mu Mu thinks that the sales volume is generally estimated to be two to three hundred, and no matter how outrageous it is, it can reach as high as four hundred. Unexpectedly, this wave directly broke the double sky.

The factory schedule is one month after the pre-sale, and the pre-sale will be open for half a month. According to the current sales volume, it is certain that it will exceed 1,000.

In the end, it will probably stay at the level of one thousand two to one thousand fourteen.

Mu Mu thought to himself that it’s a **** luck that the clothes came from a factory. If there is a part of this clothes that needs to be manually handled, he and the male star will be useless.

“Another set!”

“Two more sets! Two more sets!”

Duan Yu danced and danced, news of success came frequently.

Mu Mu’s head buzzed.

To be a Taobao store—to be precise, it is an original brand Taobao store with a certain amount of sales. What preparations do you need?

The three biggest heads: product, logistics, and warehouse.

The product is not only the product itself, but also the packaging and quality control.

Not to mention the logistics, when they first signed the logistics company, Duan Yu and Chen Li did not hesitate to choose the most expensive, fastest, and highest insurance.

And the warehouse.

After Mr. Chen said that his small bar only needs to be 50 square meters, the remaining space in the basement was used as a warehouse by Duan Yu. When the decoration is completed, they can save a lot of rent money.

Mu Mu listened to Duan Yu crazily adding one over there, showing pain on his face.

Oh shit.

He and Teacher Lili still protected the male star too well.

This idiot doesn’t even know how troublesome it is to sell more than expected.

Not only will it affect the factory’s schedule, but also the packaging box needs to be added, including the package used for packing, all of which need to be re-negotiated with those factories.

In the context of industrialization, basically the larger the order, the cheaper the price, and the cost per piece of clothing will be lowered a lot.

With a bitter face, Mu Mu went out and called Chen Li.

Teacher Chen probably has no customers at the moment, so the call is answered quickly.

“Mr. Chen, have you thought about the current situation?”

“Um.”

Chen Li on the other end of the phone answered, and Mu Mu could almost imagine him pushing his glasses calmly.

“When the price was set, the new friends said it was too low. I thought about this possibility, but I didn’t expect it to be so much higher.”

Chen Li certainly thought about this possibility.

Clothes, shoes and hats plus small items add up to 888 for the whole set. Although the cost is there, they still make money, but compared to other peers with the same level of craftsmanship, the price is indeed much lower.

Duan Yu is a simple-minded person. Apart from other aspects, he is really good at design and pattern making. After all, he is the one who has been severely beaten in a top fashion company.

So after understanding the ecology of the small circle, Mr. Chen had a bold idea.

In the name of being unskilled in the first set of business in the new store, it is true that it is famous for selling second-hand bloggers at low prices.

Duan Yu and Mu Mu, who don’t know much about this aspect, were easily fooled by Mr. Chen’s words, “The first set in the new store must be full of sincerity, and the price means that you don’t lose money and just ask for a lottery.”

The heart of the operation is dirty.

But even though he had prepared for the sales to exceed the estimate, the current sales really surprised Chen Li.

But okay, hold on.

The schedule of the garment factory is one month later, so it is not a big problem to make some small adjustments.

Teacher Chen pushed the glasses: “I’m going to contact the packaging box factory, can you connect with the clothing factory?”

“Okay.” Mu Mu replied, and went to contact the garment factory again.

There are many things. They need to add everything from clothes to packaging boxes.

Duan Yu frantically rubbed his hands in the studio alone.

He really rarely felt such happiness.

In the past, when they were at work, except for occasional shows and customizations, all their designs had to be adjusted due to factors such as the industry market, company style, and business.

After changing and changing until the end, it often happens that the original design concept is completely lost.

It is precisely because of this that he gave up the shackles of honor after working for a few years, and chose to open his own studio and do free design.

Although the business is not booming, it can be regarded as the realization of his original goal of resigning.

Just nesting in the studio and only showing your talents to a few fixed customers is completely different from watching your design sell thousands of sales and knowing that it is known and recognized by many people. feeling.

Sitting cross-legged on a chair, the male star looked at the sales with silly joy.

He laughed for a while, couldn’t help but click on the video platform, and began to enjoy the rainbow fart.

Mu Mu went outside and went through all the garment factories, logistics and warehouses, and came back with his books, ready to set off to sign a supplementary agreement with them.

When Mu Mu entered the door, the male star was having fun.

When Mu Mu packed up his things, the male star was having fun.

When Mu Mu said hello and was about to go out, the male star was still having fun.

“…”

Mu Mu looked at the male celebrity sitting in front of the computer desk, turning the chair around Wuhu Duan Yu who was giggling, for a moment, he couldn’t help but smile.

never mind.

Seeing that the male star is so happy, it is better not to disturb him by talking about those messy chores.

A Zhai is really caring.

Mu Mu went forward to close the computer screen, and stuffed it into the backpack: “I’ll go connect with the factory, don’t forget to work, there are still twenty-two bouquets left!”

Duan Yu slapped his chest when he heard this, “Don’t worry! I’ll take care of everything!”

Mu Mu: “?”

There is such a good thing!

“Remember what you said now.”

The male star came back to his senses, and quickly changed his words: “Reduce the price? I will make fifteen pieces?”

“No.” Mu Mu ruthlessly refused, carrying a bag with a computer and ledger on his back, and went out.

There is no computer anymore.

The male star watched him go out, sat back on the cutting table, picked up the tweezers and the unfinished bouquet, and was about to start working again, but felt something was wrong.

He thought for a while, put the phone on the reading shelf, and began to brainwash and cycle the song of the nightingale by Mu Mujian.

Perfect.

The male star moved his hands contentedly.

…

When the pre-sale ended, sales stayed at 1349 pieces.

Within Mu Mu’s estimate.

Both the garment factory and the packaging factory have increased the amount to 1700 yuan, and they will enter the production stage when the schedule arrives.

When the clothing and packaging are fully completed, another two months will be given to make up the money.

The male star and Mu Mu rushed to finish all the small gifts that should be made before the replenishment date, and carefully put them into the cylindrical PVC packaging box of the gift.

Then, they drove to the warehouse one day after it was open for repayment day.

Mu Mu and Duan Yu are going to pack with the packing team today, and conduct the last spot check by the way.

As soon as Mu Mu arrived at the place, he took a packed box and opened it.

The design of the packaging box is also made by male stars.

The reason why their cost is so high despite intentional control is largely due to the packaging.

Male stars are quite obsessed with the sense of ritual related to clothes.

The designer firmly believes that when customers who cannot trade in person get clothes, the clothes themselves should not be the only surprise.

The act of putting clothes and accessories in a beautiful packing box was strongly opposed by male stars.

So he set his hands on the box.

Because of the theme of Song of the Nightingale, Duan Yu made the cover of the box into a silhouette of a doll wearing clothes holding a stick in one hand and a birdcage in the other under the moonlight in the forest at night.

The color of the box surface is of course dark green similar to the skirt, the box body is black, and the cover frame is gilded.

Open the box, and there is a long staff of thorns lying in the middle of the first floor. The pattern on the surrounding box surface is clusters of gray-black thorns. Under the long staff, there are shredded raffia paper, which symbolizes that outsiders are blocked by the thorns.

Take out the first layer, and the second layer has a small protection. A few rose leaves cover the skirt and accessories. You need to gently push them apart to see the main body of the skirt and accessories.

The front of the box is dark green, printed with withered rose bushes, and the second layer is covered with leaves, symbolizing that the Queen of Nightingales is in the center of her forest territory.

The third floor reveals a golden birdcage and a delicate mechanical nightingale. The surrounding boxes are matte black, and layers of black raffia protect the mechanical nightingale and the birdcage, symbolizing that the Queen Nightingale hid it in the dark place. Deep in the forest.

In addition, there is a small pink box with only their studio LOGO printed on it, which is used to put extra gifts, and only 50 were made.

Mu Mu is checking boxes and clothes here, and the people from the packaging factory over there heard that the big brother who designed the packaging has come, and are asking him enthusiastically if he has considered changing jobs.

Mu Mu: “…”

Just kidding, I can’t dance.

Strictly speaking, Duan Yu Benyu is the apparent boss of the studio.

How can the boss change jobs, he must live and die with the studio!

But Mu Mu can also understand, he was amazed when he saw the packaging box proof for the first time.

While proud of himself, the male star rejected the packing factory’s **** and rushed into the warehouse.

There are 12 people in the packaging team, and the amount of more than 1,000 pieces is just a matter of morning for them.

On the first day of the fundraising, the number of people making up the fund was only in the early 400s.

The logistics came to receive the goods in the afternoon, and Mu Mu and Duan Yu together, invited the packing team to have a big meal, and was delighted with the verbal discount of 20% off the next cooperation promised by the contractor.

By the end of the replenishment date, there are 1,700 pieces of goods in the warehouse, excluding 62 pieces with defects, there are still 563 pieces left.

According to Mr. Chen’s instructions, a month later, with the blessing of many unboxing videos and return pictures, a link to the seller was added.

The general dealer has listed 400 stocks, and the rest will be sold on the spot for events such as comic exhibitions in the future.

There is also a physical store, although it has not opened yet, but there must be some goods for the physical store.

Starting from replenishment, it is basically just a busy warehouse and logistics.

The income from this trip, excluding their expenses and excluding manpower costs, made a total of 270,000 yuan for the three of them.

After deducting the rent of the studio and paying a 10% tribute to the eldest brother, there is still a little over 240,000 yuan left, the odds are wiped off, and the remaining money is divided among the three.

The male star who is the main designer gets four points, and Mu Mu, who handles chores and the main force of clothing making, gets four points.

Teacher Chen hasn’t resigned yet and is still a part-time job, so he took two points.

When Mu Mu got the money, he immediately made up the money that had been embezzled from the original owner’s account.

Mu Mu looked at the balance of that card, and the last bit of burden in his heart finally fell to the ground.

When Mu Mu flipped through Duan Yu’s design booklet and began to pick out the second set of clothes, before he knew it, New Year’s Day had arrived.

There is no snow in Z city in winter.

There is also a minimum of sixteen or seven degrees.

Mu Mu turned his head and looked out the window, the sun was still hanging in the sky outside the window, but the temperature was not as intense.

The room was so quiet that there was only the sound of Mu Mu flipping through the papers.

Suddenly, Duan Yu slammed the table: “Ah!!”

Mu Mu was so startled that he almost tore off the paper in his hand.

He looked over: “What’s wrong?”

The male star turned off the lighting and camera, rubbed his eyes, and jumped up quickly when he heard Mu Mu’s question, carefully picked up the jewelry on the table: “I’m done!!”

Mu Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Duan Yu was referring to the set of “Wild Poppy” that he had been working on and off for half a year.

Everything from the clothes to the accessories are handmade, even the flower decorations on the clothes, and even the stamens are worn one by one with tweezers and needles.

Some of the pearl pendants on the clothes are made of natural pearls, and the silk jewelry is also made of serious gold.

Even the embroidery thread has some tricks.

After this set, the cost of materials dropped to 60,000, but Duan Yu often said that it was not good enough.

“Congratulations.” Mu Mu said, “Go find Lili and see what he has to say about this.”

The male celebrity put down his clothes carefully, patted the rags and thread ends on his body: “Let’s leave this alone, aren’t you going back to the imperial capital on New Year’s Day?”

Mu Mu shook his head: “My parents are not at home, my eldest brother is on a business trip, Qin Yucheng is also on a business trip, and I have something to do this afternoon.”

Duan Yu scratched his head: “I’ll go home to accompany my parents at night.”

Mu Mu nodded.

Duan Yu looked at him for a while, then looked down at the time, it was almost lunch time.

“I can’t accompany you at night, let’s go to have a big meal at noon! Let’s celebrate New Year’s Day, and celebrate the completion of our store renovation. Later, I will buy a few air purifiers to increase the rate of day and night cycles. I should be able to move in when spring comes. !”

Duan Yu raised his arms and called out, “Let Lily treat her to dinner when Lily is about to resign! Good job!”

Mu Mu has no objection.

In the afternoon, Mu Mu left the studio early, took a taxi, and went to the cemetery.

Mu Mu’s mother is walking at the beginning of the new year.

The date on the inscription is still the year when his mother passed away. Mu Mu asked the staff of the cemetery to allow him to erect the monument on New Year’s Day.

New Year’s Day in City Z is not as cold as it was in the imperial capital back then.

This time, he didn’t need to go through those documents alone in a daze.

He was accompanied and helped.

The staff left him a small iron bucket.

Paper money is not allowed to be burned now, but there are policies and countermeasures to prevent it from being burned in the open, so we set up a small iron bucket to burn it.

Mu Mu looked at the erected tombstone, and took out a pack of hot pot base ingredients, a fat beef roll, a shrimp smoothie and a box of oil gluten from the bag.

“Mom, look, I brought you three of your favorite foods!” Mu Mu looked at the epitaph and paused, “I’m not here, you’d better stop keeping a dog. Does Yan Wang agree with you? Let’s not talk about it, you don’t even take a walk by yourself when you’re lazy.”

The sea breeze was whistling.

This time there were no seabirds to join in the fun.

“Also, I found a partner, the child of your new neighbor next door. His surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Yucheng. He is a boy, but you should not mind.” Mu Mu said, “He is very good, but also very unlucky. Yes, but he met me.”

As Mu Mu talked, he couldn’t help but start boasting.

A Zhai will always remember that Qin Yucheng said that meeting him was a wonderful luck and miracle.

Mu Mu hummed twice, feeling very proud.

“You must remember to move here. I remember you said that it was cold before you left. In fact, I think the mountain city is quite cold in winter. Now that I have changed to Z city, it is not cold all year round, and this time I spent a lot of money to buy it. land money.”

“By the way, I have a serious job, and now I make more money in a few months than I did in a year before.”

“I still have friends, all of whom are very, very good people. I also have a big brother, although not close, but also very, very good.”

Mu Mu was chattering, taking out a box while talking.

The thick box is full of printed photos.

“The things you were worried about before you left are not a problem now. I have a job, a friend, a partner, and I have everything I need. Don’t worry.”

Mu Mu squatted down, lit the photos, and burned them one by one.

“This is the sea in City Z.”

“This is your day.”

“This is the estuary of rivers and seas, which is particularly shocking.”

“This is me now, with long hair, to satisfy your desire for a daughter.”

“This is…”

After Mu Mu introduced each photo, he burned it clean.

He took out the paper money again.

“Qin Yucheng is on a business trip. He can’t come to see you today. Don’t dislike him. When he comes back, I will…”

“When I come back, will you?”

Mu Mu was taken aback.

He maintained his squatting position, raising his head.

Qin Yucheng came at some time and stood behind him.

In the temperature of 18 degrees, which required a small coat, Qin Yucheng’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he was still breathing.

Mu Mu was stunned for a while, before slowly asking: “Why are you back?”

Qin Yucheng took a deep breath to calm down the violent heartbeat caused by running wildly.

“Establish the monument today, I won’t come, auntie… my mother must not have any objections to me?”

Mu Mu murmured: “There’s no need to hurry, my mother has a very good temper.”

“No.” Qin Yucheng also squatted down, “Did you say anything nice about me just now?”

“No.” Mu Mu moved aside, “Seeing is believing, you have to prove it yourself.”

“All right.” Qin Yucheng nodded.

Mu Mu watched as Qin Yucheng burned paper money for his mother, made a guarantee, and even brought his parents to testify.

Mu Mu: “…”

Mu Mu looked away, looking at the gradually dimming sky.

City Z is always full of sunshine in winter.

After Qin Yucheng burned the paper for Mu Mu’s mother, he felt that he couldn’t favor one over another, so he turned around and burned some for his parents.

Said it was a bribe, and bribed his parents to tell him a lot of good things.

When the stacks of paper money were all burned, Qin Yucheng stood up, leaned over and stretched out his arms, passing through Mu Mu’s armpits, and picked up Mu Mu who was squatting on the side watching the sea in a daze.

Mu Mu’s eyes slowly fell on him.

On Qin Yucheng’s face under the setting sun, there were a few black marks wiped out by ashes.

Mu Mu stretched out his hand, trying to wipe it off for him, but rubbed the black mark on his hand instead.

Mu Mu: “…”

Mu Mu looked away guiltily.

Unceremoniously, Qin Yucheng patted his ashes-stained hands on Mu Mu’s face and rubbed them together.

Mu Mu: “???”

Fuck, **** Qin Yucheng!

are you human!

Dogs can’t do that!

Mu Mu was furious, and before he could get away, Qin Yucheng hugged him back and leaned over to rub his face.

The two black-faced briquettes looked at each other for two seconds.

Mu Mu couldn’t hold back and laughed.

Qin Yucheng said steadily: “Go home?”

Mu Mu raised his foot: “Okay.”

The two held hands, said goodbye to the two tombstones standing side by side, and walked slowly down the mountain.

The setting sun turned the clouds into orange-red cotton candy, and the sea breeze brought a touch of gentle sweetness.
