Chapter 494: Cost Increases

At this moment, the phone in the store rang again. Zhou Wanwan picked up the phone, and after listening to a few words, her face became more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Qianqian asked with concern.

"It was the supplier who called," Zhou Wanwan said with a frown, "They said that the price of raw materials has risen again recently, and our costs will increase again."

Qianqian sighed, "This is really bad news. But let's not be too discouraged, there will always be a way."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but her brows were still furrowed.

She knew that the pressure in business was increasing and she had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

At this moment, Qianqian suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up. "Wanwan, I have an idea."

"What idea?" Zhou Wanwan asked anxiously.

"We could try combining chains with orange peels."

Qianqian said excitedly, "The toughness of the iron chain and the texture of the orange peel, these two completely different textures collide together, and maybe it will produce unexpected effects."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. "That's a good idea! But how do we do it specifically?"

Qianqian smiled and explained, "We can dry the orange peels, press them into thin slices, and then use these slices to decorate the iron chains. This way, we can retain the toughness of the iron chains while adding some natural elements."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, "Good idea! We can make some samples first and see how they work."

So Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian started to get busy. They found some fresh oranges, peeled them, and then dried them.

Next, they pressed dried orange peels into thin slices and began experimenting on iron chains.

"The color of this orange peel is so beautiful," Zhou Wanwan looked at the chain in her hand. The orange peel was particularly eye-catching on the chain.

"Yes," Qianqian also said excitedly, "and the combination of the texture of the orange peel and the texture of the iron chain looks very good..."

They continued experimenting, artfully inlaying thin slices of orange peel into each link of the chain.

Over time, a unique orange peel chain bracelet takes shape.

"The effect is really great!" Zhou Wanwan looked at the finished product in her hands, her eyes flashing with excitement.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at the orange peel chain bracelets in their hands with satisfied smiles on their faces.

They knew this was the unique style they had been looking for.

"This bracelet is so beautiful!" Zhou Wanwan said excitedly, "I can guarantee that customers will like this design."

Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Yes, this bracelet is full of natural atmosphere, and the colors are very bright. I think we can name it the 'Harvest Chain'."

"Harvest Chain, this name is good!" Zhou Wanwan agreed, "Then let's look forward to its market performance."

At this moment, Zhou Wanwan's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Who called?" Qianqian asked curiously.

"It's Manager Li," Zhou Wanwan said, "He is an important customer of our store. I don't know why he called at this time."

Zhou Wanwan picked up the phone, and Manager Li's voice came over immediately: "I heard that you launched a new bracelet, right?"

Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised, "Yes, Manager Li. How did you know?"

Manager Li smiled and said, "I just saw the picture of this bracelet on your social media. I think the design is very unique, and I want to order a batch."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, surprise revealed in their eyes.

"Really? Manager Li, that's great!" Zhou Wanwan said excitedly, "We are very grateful for your recognition of our design. How many do you need to order?"

Manager Li replied: "I need to order one thousand. However, I have one request. I hope each bracelet can come with a handwritten thank you card."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian smiled at each other. They knew that this was a test from Manager Li.

"No problem, Manager Li!" Zhou Wanwan said firmly, "We will personally attach a handwritten thank you card to each bracelet. Please rest assured that we will do our best to ensure the quality."

Manager Li smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, Zhou**. I believe in your ability. Please prepare as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian got busy. They had to prepare thank-you cards for the 1,000 bracelets and ensure the quality of the bracelets.

Time passed quickly, and a week later, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian finally completed all the preparations.

They packaged the bracelets with thank-you cards and prepared them for shipment.

At this moment, Zhou Wanwan's phone rang again. She glanced at the screen, and the smile on her face froze immediately.

"What's wrong?" Qianqian asked with concern.

Zhou Wanwan sighed, "It was Manager Li who called. He told me that he had temporarily canceled the order."

Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then comforted her: "It's okay, Wanwan. We have tried our best. Maybe he has his own reasons."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but there was still a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She knew that this order was very important to them, but now it was gone.

At this moment, Qianqian suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up. "Wanwan, why don't we keep some bracelets to sell ourselves? Maybe there will be a good market prospect."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. "That's a good idea! We can try to promote it on social media and see if anyone is interested."

So Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian got busy. They posted photos of the bracelets on social media, along with detailed descriptions.

Soon, their social media accounts began to receive a large number of comments and private messages.

Many people expressed great interest in this bracelet, and several people even placed orders directly to buy it.

"It seems that our bracelets are still very popular!" Zhou Wanwan looked at the comments and private messages with a gratified smile on her face.

Qianqian also smiled and said, "Yes, our efforts have not been in vain. I believe that as long as we persist, we will achieve better results."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a determined look in her eyes. "That's right, Qianqian. We must continue to work hard to make more people aware of our designs."

In this way, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian continued to work hard, and their orange peel iron chain bracelets gradually emerged in the market.

They believe that as long as they persevere, one day their designs will become world-famous.
