Chapter 636: Chapter 636: The Promotion of the Down Jacket

"Yes, after all, we’re just idling around."

The sales pitch, it was simply to make them aware of how good the clothing was; they weren’t selling the garments themselves.

Twenty bucks a day.

The wage was not low.

"Then, we’re counting on you."

"We’re getting paid to do this, after all."

These classmates all knew about Zhao Tianlei’s factory and retail venture.

They were envious.

But once someone had climbed the stairs and was standing on the mountaintop, all that was left was admiration.

They weren’t as bold as Zhao Tianlei.

On the weekend, as soon as Zhao Tianlei got the sample jackets, he formed them into groups of three, making three teams in total. Each member took a down jacket and headed to the three busiest locations in Capital City to promote.

Of course, they also brought along promotional flyers.

The main features were waterproof, stain-resistant, and warm.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t get involved but still came to Wangfujing to check out the situation.

If this batch of down jackets sold well, that would really mean making money.

"Sister-in-law, you’re here too?" Fang Chaoyang was also there for the promotion today.

The garment factory didn’t have a day off, but they could get bonus pay or time off in lieu, and the workers at the factory agreed to both options.

For now, the focus was on getting the down jackets made.

"Don’t miss out as you pass by, come have a look! Come over and take a look, our factory has produced waterproof down jackets."

Waterproof?

What kind of clothing could be waterproof?

It wasn’t long before quite a crowd had gathered.

Zhao Tianlei immediately sprang into action, pouring a cup of water onto the sleeve of the down jacket Fang Chaoyang was wearing.

"Do you think this jacket is soaked through?"

"With that much water poured over it, it must be wet, no?"

"No, I saw the water flow down the surface of the jacket."

Zhao Tianlei had Fang Chaoyang take off a sleeve to show them, even turned the sleeve inside out for them to see, "Look, the jacket isn’t wet at all. If you don’t believe it, feel free to touch and see for yourself."

Today was a holiday, so there were even more onlookers.

Some reached out to feel it and exclaimed in amazement, "It’s not wet."

With the first, came a second.

Zhao Tianlei tried several times.

"We’ll test it again, stain resistance—this is soy sauce, I’ll pour it on the jacket and see."

He poured the soy sauce over the garment, and soon there was a dark stain, but Zhao Tianlei wiped it off with a damp towel.

The white down jacket remained as good as new.

This astonished even more people.

"This down jacket is also particularly warm."

Zhao Tianlei took off his own coat, revealing the short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, then put on the down jacket and jumped around on the spot for a while.

"See, I’m even sweating a bit on my forehead."

This was Capital City’s winter, and just after a short time jumping around, he was already sweating.

It drew a lot of attention.

Seizing the opportunity, Chaoyang hurriedly handed out flyers, which had the purchase address and some of the down jacket designs on them.

It must be said that today’s promotion had some effect.

Soon people knew that their down jackets were waterproof, stain-resistant, and even warm.

After the new batch of down jackets was released, they also included instructions on how to clean them so that they could remain warmer.

Laundry tips.

However, these jackets were priced one and a half times more than regular down jackets.

But Capital City was not short of wealthy people.

Moreover, it was the only style of down jacket available in Capital City.

The long styles sold the best—zippers, pockets, hoods.

Others grew envious and followed suit.

But they probably couldn’t get hold of this waterproof fabric for the year to come.

Zhao Tianlei’s collaboration with the textile factory was set to start only the next year.

They could only feel envious or try to figure it out on their own.
