Chapter 353 - 353: Clothes Are Costly in the Capital
Yan Han asked Xia Wan, “Wanwan, what’s going on? Did you really go to the capital for Chen MO?”
Xia Wan felt helpless and quickly explained, “Mom, believe me. I’m really not being emotional.
“Let’s put it this way. The clothes that I spent the same amount of time and effort to make can only be sold for more than 100 yuan in our county. But if I go to the capital to sell them, I can sell them for more than 500 yuan, or even
1000 yuan.”
Xia Wan’s words dumbfounded Yan Han.
She looked at Xia Wan in shock. “A piece of clothing can be sold for 1000 yuan? What kind of shocking price is this? When your dad was working, his monthly salary was only 300 yuan.”
Xia Chen was also in disbelief. “Wanwan, don’t lie to your family just to go to the capital.”
Xia Hai knew that he had no status at home, so he sat quietly and listened.
Xia Feng, on the other hand, was staring at Xia Wan. No matter what his sister said, he would trust her unconditionally.
Xia Wan slowly explained, “The clothes I want to make have their own characteristics. There are many shops in the capital. They are not only sold to domestic customers. Every year, there will be many foreign tourists. The price for selling to tourists is very expensive.
“Even if it’s a customer from our country, if my clothes are unique enough, they’re willing to buy them.
“The income of ordinary people in our county may be around a few hundred yuan, but in Jingdu, many people have already taken advantage of the opportunity of reform and opening up to achieve a well-off life. Their monthly income can reach tens of thousands or even more.”
Yan Han and the others were shocked when Xia Wan finished speaking. The huge difference in income between the capital and the county surprised them.
Xia Chen was the first to react. He asked, “How do you know all this?”
Xia Wan had already found an excuse. She pointed to the study. “Of course, I found it on the computer.
“I’ve been checking the current economic development level and average wage in various parts of the country on the Internet these two days. At the same time, I’ve also checked the stocks of related companies.
“I’ve also done a lot of research on clothing. In the bustling areas of the capital, when wealthy families attend important banquets, the price of the gowns they wear starts at a thousand yuan.
“To us, the extravagant lifestyle is out of reach, but to the wealthy families in the capital, it’s just a daily expense.” Xia Wan was exaggerating.
Clothes that cost 1,000 yuan were very expensive in the capital.
But now, in order to convince her family to let her go to the capital to sell clothes, she could only exaggerate a little.
Yan Han hesitated for a moment. “If you really want to go to the Capital, Mom will go with you.”
Xia Wan refused. “No, the shop still needs you. You have to be in the shop.”
“I’ll go with you,” Xia Chen said. “I’ll rest when you’re on vacation. You can’t go alone. ”
Xia Feng also said, “I’ll go too. I’ll go too. I have more holidays, and my learning tasks aren’t that heavy.” Besides, I can’t help much in the shop.”
In the end, Yan Han decided to let Xia Chen and Xia Feng accompany Xia Wan to the capital.
In the next two days, Xia Wan studied even harder. She had arranged the weekend time and could only complete the weekend study tasks during the week.
Yesterday, after school, Xu Ye had been waiting for her at the door with a smile.
Seeing Xia Wan, Xu Ye immediately waved at her.
Xia Wan walked over quickly, her face filled with joy. “Big Brother Xu, why are you here?”
Xu Ye smiled. “I told you before that I’m going to find an art teacher for your brother. Now that I’ve finally found a suitable one, I’ll bring you over to take a look when you have time.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.” Xia Wan immediately agreed.
She told Xia Chen and Liu Hua to go home first while she followed Xu Ye to find the art teacher. Xu Ye would send her home when she returned.
Xia Chen had also heard about Xu Ye. He knew that Xu Ye had helped Xia Wan a lot, so he was very relieved.
After getting into the car, Xu Ye said to her, “The art teacher I found graduated from a key university, but she couldn’t find a suitable major after graduating from university. She wanted to go into the design industry, but the design industry doesn’t just require drawing. She’s passionate about learning design, but she doesn’t have enough talent..’
