Chapter 1202 Brilliant Embroidery
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zizhou sent Shen Xuening the link to download the short drama platform.
Shen Xuening downloaded the app directly, registered an account, and then shared it in various groups: "This is a free short drama platform called Red Persimmon Short Drama. Register when you have time to boost its popularity."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yingying immediately registered an account: "Sister, I've registered. Is there anything else I need to do?"
Shen Xuening replied in the group chat: "No need, you just need to register."
Besides sharing it in the group, she also had Shen Baohong put an ad in the video. This caused a huge stir, with the number of registered users soaring to ten million. Not to mention anything else, the advertising revenue alone was considerable.
Qin Zizhou was very happy after seeing the data, and said that all the profits from the first month would go to Shen Xuening to pay for advertising expenses.
Shen Xuening did not refuse; she needed to build a kindergarten, and this money would be perfect for her.
Regarding the donations, Shen Xuening opened a poverty subsidy program in July and then assigned someone to be in charge of it. Now it's all settled.
Yesterday, the staff reported their work to Shen Xuening and then said that some schools would start enabling the payment function in late August, and asked when their tuition fees would be transferred.
Shen Xuening told the staff not to delay, and to transfer the tuition fees as soon as the school enabled the payment function. At the same time, she also notified the students to transfer their first month's living expenses.
The staff took Shen Xuening's words to heart and implemented them accordingly, so that the impoverished students could finally study with peace of mind.
During a casual chat, Shen Xuening mentioned this matter to Qin Zizhou.
Qin Zizhou suggested to Shen Xuening that a contract should be signed for the students receiving the funding. Anyone who accepts the funding should be required to work for the company for three years after graduation. After three years, they can leave as they wish. Otherwise, her private funding might be subject to moral blackmail.
For example, why should they be the ones to sponsor me and not me? My family is also very poor!
For example, I am even poorer than him, so why don't you help me?
Shen Xuening felt that Qin Zizhou made sense. After all, she wasn't just doing charity work, so it was only right that she wanted some return.
Later, she added this requirement to the poverty subsidy criteria, which unintentionally solved a lot of problems.
Wang Nan is the poorest student in this batch of poverty relief subsidies, but she has excellent grades and has been admitted to the best university in the province. With only one week left before the start of the semester, she has been looking forward to receiving the poverty relief subsidy so that she can go to school smoothly.
Grandma Wang Nan, leaning on her cane, limped out of the dilapidated house: "Wang Nan, what are you doing sitting there motionless?"
Wang Nan's eyes were a little red as she turned to look at her grandmother: "Grandma, I might not be able to go to university."
Grandma Wang Nan felt a pang of sadness and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you already apply for poverty assistance?"
Wang Nan said dejectedly, "But I went to apply for a bank card as required, and the money hasn't been transferred yet. I have only one week left before school starts, and if I don't have the money, I won't be able to enroll."
Grandma Wang Nan comforted her, saying, "No, you're from a poor family. What would you be worth being scammed out of? There's still a week to go. They should be sending you the money before school starts."
"Grandma, what will I do if I can't go to school?" As Wang Nan spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Grandma Wang Nan gently patted her granddaughter's shoulder, feeling even more heartbroken: "No, you're a good child, Grandpa will treat you well."
Wang Nan cried: "Grandma..."
Just as she was crying her heart out, a message came through on the secondhand old-fashioned mobile phone that someone had given her. It was especially clear in the oppressive atmosphere.
Grandma Wang Nan quickly patted Wang Nan on the back: "Go and see if there's any news."
"Okay." Wang Nan quickly wiped away her tears, took the old-fashioned mobile phone, opened the text message, and was overjoyed. "Grandma, I received 1500 yuan in my card. I remember the staff member told me that this was for living expenses. Grandma, 1500 yuan is too much money."
Grandma Wang Nan cried tears of joy: "Really?"
Wang Nan was so happy she wanted to jump for joy: "It's true, Grandma! I saw the message! I saw the message! 1500 yuan! That's great! I can go to school now. I'll leave you 1000 yuan and take 500 yuan to school myself."
Grandma Wang Nan didn't want to take Wang Nan's money, so she quickly said, "No, no, you can take all this money. School is not like home; money is needed everywhere. Five hundred yuan is not enough."
Wang Nan said, "Grandma, how can I go to school with peace of mind if I don't leave you some money?"
Grandma Wang Nan knew her granddaughter's personality, so she compromised and said, "Then you keep one hundred. One hundred is enough for the family to live on for a month, okay? Otherwise, how can Grandma feel at ease if you go to school outside?"
Wang Nan pursed her lips, her eyelashes still wet: "Grandma, I will definitely study hard, find a good job in the future, and earn a lot of money to take care of you."
Grandma Wang Nan happily replied, "Okay, Grandma understands."
Wang Nan clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky: "Thank you to the people who sponsored me, thank you to the old man for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it."
……
Yongle was as lively and bustling as ever, but today there was a slight change in this liveliness and prosperity: a small stall had been added.
This stall is called Ronghua Embroidery.
The stall owner was a young and handsome man dressed in exquisitely embroidered ancient costume, with his hair tied up. His innocent face revealed a hint of nervousness, as if he were a bewildered person who had just traveled from another era.
This young man is Chi Hong. Since he is here to add a bright touch to the scenic area, he has naturally dressed up from head to toe, otherwise how can he attract people's attention?
Next to the stall was Zhang Shufen, who was extremely grateful to Shen Xuening. She came as soon as Shen Xuening asked her to.
The stall displays many embroidery-related items, including embroidered fans, handkerchiefs, purses, and cloth shoes, each item carrying a sense of historical significance.
Although it's a small stall, it doesn't look shabby at all; on the contrary, it has a mysterious air about it, like a hidden gem in the city.
Shen Xuening arrived at the stall; she had come specifically to film a promotional video. Behind her followed Shen Baohong, who was holding a camera. The group had already coordinated beforehand and all were allowed to appear in the video.
"Chi Hong, you can start preparing now. You're not good with words, so you don't need to say anything. You just need to prepare the things." Shen Xuening was very considerate of her subordinates. They only needed to give full play to their best talents, and she could tolerate everything else.
Chi Hong nodded and began preparing seriously.
Shen Xuening explained in detail what Chi Hong had prepared: "Hello everyone, I am Shen Xuening. Today we will mainly promote embroidery."
"As everyone knows, I went to participate in an embroidery competition a few days ago. I experienced the competition, made some friends, and exchanged some ideas about embroidery. I found that it is a rather mysterious and valuable art. Although it is now a niche industry, I think it should be seen by more people."
"Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Zhang Shufen. I learned embroidery from her. She is very skilled, and her embroidery is superb. I have learned a lot from her."
"Ms. Zhang Shufen, would you like to say hello to our online followers?"
Zhang Shufen laughed: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Shufen. I am good at embroidery. These are all embroidered by me. I still have the energy to embroider. If any netizens are interested, they can come to me to make custom embroidery."
Shen Xuening added, "Although Ms. Zhang Shufen is old, her eyes are still bright, and she can embroider many things, and she embroiders them exceptionally well."
She asked Shen Baohong to point the camera at the embroidery behind Zhang Shufen: "This is a 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' embroidery that Ms. Zhang Shufen embroidered before. Isn't it beautiful? I think it could be a family heirloom."
"These were all embroidered by Ms. Zhang Shufen. Aren't they amazing?"
After introducing Zhang Shufen, she went to introduce Chi Hong: "This gentleman is Chi Hong. Don't let his young age fool you; his embroidery skills are quite outstanding. Moreover, he can do double-sided embroidery, which is even more impressive than ordinary embroidery. This is one of his embroidered works..."
Next to it hung many embroidered items, as well as ready-made clothes, hairbands, and belts, all of which looked exquisite.
After introducing the two people, Shen Xuening then focused on introducing the stall, concluding with her personally demonstrating embroidery, thus bringing the promotion of the stall to a successful close.
Wherever Shen Xuening is, that place becomes the center of attention; by now, many people have already gathered around the stall.
A female tourist asked, "Mr. Shen, may I buy one of your embroidered items?"
Shen Xuening turned her head to look at the cute female tourist and patiently asked, "What do you want?"
The female tourist said eagerly, "I want a purse, like the cute ones in period dramas, light purple, any pattern is fine, is that okay?"
Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "It takes three days to embroider a purse like this. I can embroider it for you, but my purses are very expensive, ten thousand yuan each. Do you want to buy one?"
The reason she sells it for such a high price is twofold: firstly, she doesn't have time to embroider, and secondly, it's to raise the value of embroidery. For her, embroidery is a work of art, not something that can be obtained casually.
The female tourist was clearly surprised: "Ten thousand yuan?"
Someone nearby said, "Don't you even know Mr. Shen's net worth? Ten thousand yuan is already very cheap. Otherwise, why would those master embroiderers sell for so much?"
“That’s right. The same thing will definitely have a different value if it comes from different people. If Mr. Shen embroiders it for you, I would think 10,000 yuan is cheap.”
"This is embroidery, high-level handicraft, and it's also an intangible cultural heritage. Even ordinary people's embroidery would cost several thousand yuan."
"..."
The female tourist pursed her lips: "If it's so expensive, then... how about I have him embroider it for me?"
Shen Xuening looked in the direction the female tourist was pointing: "Are you having Chi Hong embroider it for you?"
The female tourist nodded: "Yes, I'll have the handsome guy embroider for me. His embroidery is quite good."
Shen Xuening asked Chi Hong, "Would you be willing to embroider a purse for this female tourist?"
Chi Hong glanced at the female tourist and then said, "I'm willing, but I need three days. I don't know if you can wait? Also, I need to pay half of the deposit. Think about it before you decide."
The female tourist genuinely loved embroidery, so she asked, "How much deposit is needed?"
Chi Hong glanced at Shen Xuening out of the corner of his eye, secretly excited. He hadn't expected to get business so quickly: "I can embroider a purse for only a thousand, you only need to pay a deposit of five hundred."
Upon hearing that it was 500, the female tourist breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
Chi Hong said, "Download a scenic area app, open the app, click on the embroidery section, and you can pay a deposit there."
"I have the scenic area's app." The female tourist took out her phone, paid a deposit of 500 yuan, and said she would pick up her wallet at the same time three days later.
Chi Hong checked his phone's backend and saw that the female tourist's order had been received and was ranked first, with progress displayed: "I'll embroider the purse for you right away."
The female tourist nodded in satisfaction: "Thank you."
At this moment, someone else took out their phone to place an order.
There are three embroidery masters in total: Shen Xuening is the first, Zhang Shufen is the second, and Chi Hong is the third. Shen Xuening's starting price for embroidery is 10,000, Zhang Shufen's is 5,000, and Chi Hong's is 1,000.
Customers can choose their own mentor based on their own circumstances.
The embroidery includes: purses, handkerchiefs, embroidered shoes, clothes, trousers, cheongsams, and wedding dresses. Each type has a price and a set time. There are thousands of patterns in total, and each pattern has a price. You can choose whatever you like.
These are all programs written by Shen Xuening. She is always very thorough in her planning, and she has designed this program to be very perfect.
Given Shen Xuening's influence, after seeing the female tourist pay, other customers placed orders one after another, and there were quite a lot of orders.
You can pick up your embroidered items on-site or have them mailed to you; mailing is free.
Not only were there orders placed on-site, but many people from other places also placed orders. Chi Hong was stunned when he saw the orders. He thought he would be sidelined, but he didn't expect so many orders right away, which was beyond his imagination.
After seeing that there were many people queuing up under Chi Hong, people started queuing up under Zhang Shufen as well, and even under Shen Xuening.
The queue is capped at 100 orders. Once there are 100 orders, no more orders can be placed, otherwise the staff would be exhausted.
Shen Xuening's order queue is for 20 people. Once 20 orders are completed, the queue will close. She needs to complete all 20 people's orders before the next round of orders can be unlocked.
When Shen Xuening saw that the order book was full in just one hour, she couldn't help but sigh. Should she remove herself from the list? This was just too much trouble!
Okay, let's hold on a little longer. Three rounds it is, three rounds it will be, and then it will be taken off the shelves.
At the same time, she started recruiting embroidery masters. With so many orders, she could take care of the best people in the industry and work together to make the embroidery industry bigger and stronger.
The first embroidery master they hired was Gong Li. Gong Li and Tu Yue came to visit Shen Xuening and naturally noticed Ronghua Embroidery. She felt that Ronghua Embroidery aligned with her philosophy, and more importantly, she could make money there, so she stayed.
Tu Yue was quite helpless. They had come to find Shen Xuening to cooperate, but they didn't expect Gong Li to give up his business.
