The fashion show continued in a makeshift backstage with only six models, bustling with activity.
Among them, three were men!!!
There was no choice; Factory Director Hai had a limited number of people he could bring in, so he had to choose carefully.
This impromptu fashion show not only had limited models but also limited clothing.
Fortunately, Bohemian dresses require the simplest cuts.
Overnight, they cut about dozens of long and short skirts, without getting into many details, just the rough shape.
But conveying the general idea nicely was enough.
The crowd gathered more and more, and after observing for a while, Jiang Cheng took action.
She approached a foreigner with brown hair who was dressed quite meticulously.
"Hello."
Her standard British accent made the brown-haired foreigner raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"Your pronunciation is very standard, have you been abroad?"
"No, unfortunately, I’ve always wanted to see the beautiful country of the UK."
The brown-haired foreigner nodded with a slight smile, "It is indeed beautiful."
"No doubt about it."
Jiang Cheng affirmed before getting to the point: "Are you interested in the fabrics we’re exhibiting?"
"How did you know I would purchase fabric?"
Jiang Cheng shook her head quickly, appearing a bit nervous, "I didn’t know, it’s just that from your attire... I’m not sure how to describe it, please forgive my lack of vocabulary, but among the crowd, I noticed you at first glance."
"Extremely comfortable, it gives me a... high-class feeling!"
Such an innocent compliment!
The brown-haired foreigner was pleased with the praise.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng complimented him right where it counts; he truly enjoys pairing outfits and looking both exquisite and gentlemanly.
"You guessed correctly, I am indeed a fabric merchant."
Jiang Cheng covered her mouth, then quickly let go, her little delight at guessing correctly perfectly acted out.
"I’m truly honored. If I ever get the chance, I’d love to learn from you about pairing clothes."
Jiang Cheng chattered, and the brown-haired foreigner started a conversation with her.
The brown-haired foreigner was named James, and his family was in the clothing business.
James didn’t employ any tricks; since he was already there, it was naturally for business.
He was interested in the fabric displayed on stage and wished to further negotiate.
Jiang Cheng acted as the translator.
Factory Director Hai didn’t expect the first deal to come so quickly; he sat across the table from James, who was speaking.
After James finished, Jiang Cheng turned to Factory Director Hai and said, "Director Hai, Mr. James wants to purchase these six types of fabric, and his offered price is 0.9."
Zero point nine was already above Director Hai’s mental estimate.
Yet he showed a troubled expression.
Because when Jiang Cheng handed him the paper to look at, her hand showed two fingers, indicating the price could still be negotiated and not to agree.
If Jiang Cheng handed the paper with one finger, it meant the price was acceptable.
This was the signal they agreed upon yesterday.
After hearing what Director Hai said, Jiang Cheng turned to negotiate with James.
"Mr. James, as far as I know, the few pieces of fabric you like belong exclusively to a style, the Bohemian style, right?"
James seemed slightly surprised.
"You even know about Bohemian?"
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Jiang Cheng lowered her head, "This is probably the only style I know; I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you."
"I happen to have friends abroad who send me some magazines, so I accidentally learned that this style is popular in Europe."
Popularity means there is a market.
"Mr. James, you are an expert in this field, so you can feel our fabric, made of 100% pure cotton with top quality."
Jiang Cheng’s statement was very sincere.
