The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 206

　　Huo Ying didn't know that Mu Qiong was lucky, but Mu Qiong was very thoughtful, and he knew this.

　　Now hearing Mu Qiong talk about the clothing business, Huo Ying immediately became interested: "Tell me about it."

　　Mu Qiong talked about the cheongsam. He didn't have much artistic talent and couldn't draw a good picture, but it's okay to draw a simple pattern. After drawing, Mu Qiong said: "This kind of dress looks like a robe. I think those women , you should like it very much."

　　"The clothes look really good." Huo Ying's eyes lit up, but he quickly said, "But this kind of clothes, it's better to make them tailor-made, and you won't sell much for ready-made clothes."

　　After hearing what Huo Ying said, Mu Qiong also realized this problem.

　　At this time, rich people have tailor-made clothes, and they don't buy ready-made clothes casually. As for the poor at this time...how can poor people have money to buy ready-made clothes? People buy cloth and go home to make it themselves!

　　Of course, this is mainly because no one sells ready-made garments at this time, and there are no large-scale ready-made garment factories.

　　Mu Qiong suddenly thought of something: "Second Young Master, do you want to try producing sewing machines?"

　　In the last century, someone had already invented the sewing machine. At this moment, there is already a sewing machine called "Yangji" in Shanghai.

　　But the "foreign machines" at this time were all imported, not to mention very expensive, and it was difficult to repair if they broke down.

　　Mu Qiong remembers that sewing machines are not difficult to produce, and because of this, decades later, sewing machine bicycles will become one of the big items when they get married.

　　And the reason why he thought of the sewing machine was because of his mother... His mother once told him that when his mother was a child, their family had a sewing machine that was very rare at that time, but it broke down and could not be repaired, so his grandfather had to take it with him. The sewing machine went to a big city to find someone to repair it, and his mother, who was still very young at the time, was fortunate to be taken to the big city by his grandfather. It was the "trip to repair the sewing machine" that allowed his mother to see the outside world and strengthened her determination to go out, and finally got admitted to a good university through unremitting efforts.

　　Mu Qiong felt that with the current technology, the pedal sewing machines that were popular all over the country in the 1970s and 1980s should be able to be produced. No matter how bad it was, the simpler sewing machines bought from abroad could still be produced.

　　"You don't have to worry about that, haha, I'm already researching it." Huo Ying said, compared to producing products, producing machines is the most profitable. Huo Ying has a very deep understanding of this.

　　Among other things, let's just say that this sewing machine is difficult to import because of the war abroad, and it can be sold for a hundred silver dollars!

　　"Can it be researched?" Mu Qiong asked.

　　"Yes!" Huo Ying is very confident: "This thing will break after a long time. A few years ago, some people have learned to make some accessories and repair it by themselves. I recruited those people and asked them to study sewing machines. There are already plans. At the beginning, he got some experienced masters from Japan and other places, and wanted to make machines, and the first researches were simple ones such as sewing machines, weaving machines, and shelling machines.
