Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 230: I Really Like You More Than I Thought (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2


Louis naturally began to think about how to occupy the downmarket.

Mayer Ready-to-Wear was born from this concept.

"William, Mayer Ready-to-Wear is an important step in our layout for the light industry."

"It's not just because it's easier to produce, but also because it's the simplest choice to improve the living conditions of the lower class."

William grumbled, "I don't quite understand what you're saying, but from what I've seen, the appearance of Mayer Ready-to-Wear has indeed improved the attire of ordinary citizens."

Louis smiled.

He didn't explain the logic behind it.

Louis clearly remembered the period from the 1990s to 2005 in his previous life, when the ready-to-wear industry had not yet blossomed domestically, and fabric stores were still prevalent in some markets.

Yes, you heard right.

At the time when he traveled over, most people still saw fabrics in curtain shops.

But at the end of the previous century, there still existed a significant number of fabric stores nationwide.

The reason was that ready-to-wear had not spread, and the era of rapid expansion of individual businesses had not yet come; many people still retained the habit of making their own clothes.

Even Louis's grandmother's house in his previous life still had a sewing machine.

This was the result even after the light industry had developed.

As for the light industry on the Star Continent...

It was even more underwhelming.

The ready-to-wear model, where one can take away clothes directly if satisfied with the size and style, was not something no one had thought of in this world.

But due to lack of a large-scale production light industry and a qualified logistics system, most businesses following this path were heavily restricted.

It's impossible to open a production base in every city, right?

If there's no production base, how much can purely manual transportation drive sales?

If you're going to the trouble, you might as well directly transport precious metals and magic weapons.

Who would bother with ready-to-wear?

——Except Mayer Commerce Association.

Considering that although this world has the basic concept of ready-to-wear, it does not have a systematic set of rules, he took the ready-to-wear industry as the bridgehead for expanding the light industry chain.

He also developed an improved sewing machine along the way.

Back then, he was bored watching short videos and had come across related content and principles.

The principle was very simple, and the skilled artisans of Tino City quickly conquered it.

Thinking of this, William gave Louis a strange look:

"Do you know what the craftsmen call you?"

Louis looked up at him.

William said in an exaggerated tone:

"You know, our Artisan Association has always been followers of His Highness the Prince. He received the favor of the God of Craftsmanship."

Louis was both amused and helpless.

Being called this clearly showed that they attributed all the development of light and heavy industry systems this past year to him.

"It's too exaggerated. The rapid development is the result of accumulated technical foundations up to now, not just my contribution alone."

The ready-to-wear industry has now blossomed everywhere in Ense and Tunisia, and it's following the footsteps of the industry chain allocation, spreading all the way to several other countries.

So much so that Louis now feels a bit embarrassed.

This group truly has no one worth fighting.

The marginal benefits brought by mass production have already crushed any independent business in this current era.

Others are not unwilling to pursue, but Mayer Ready-to-Wear will not stop to wait for them.

Not to mention, Louis has Lord Rom over there connecting with a large group of people, starting to persuade surrounding individual businesses to join Mayer Ready-to-Wear.

In short, selling the brand.

Working for someone is still working, and Mayer Ready-to-Wear is not short on money.

Thus, a large number of individual businesses and some unemployed people with skills were also drawn into this industry.

This sped up the pace of Mayer Ready-to-Wear's expansion even more.

Only Louis would still leave a way out for others, otherwise he might directly become the top commercial felon of 14451 and end up on their small records.

"The Adventurer Guild helped a lot! Mayer's brand should also enter the Tower of Eternal Daylight."

Louis, sitting in the chair, sighed.

William hesitated for a moment but still said:

"Your Highness, the ecosystem of the Tower of Eternal Daylight is different from ours. They lack an actual ruler, which would pose a great difficulty for us to manage the local commerce associations."

Louis nodded: "That's why I said, the move with the Adventurer Guild, perhaps it should have been done earlier."

William didn't immediately understand, but his eyes lit up the next moment:

"Because of the city heroes?"

"Yes, because of the city heroes, they are the foundation upon which our brand can move forward."

"But the market there is not concentrated, it's not easy for Mayer Commerce and Mayer Furniture to enter, right?"

Louis curled up into a mysterious smile:

"That's why I never planned to let these two go in the first place. It's Mayer Ready-to-Wear that will go."

The ready-to-wear industry is one that requires a lot of advertising investment.

The countries where the industry chain layout was laid out previously were always opened up first by Mayer Commerce and Mayer Furniture.

But the Tower of Eternal Daylight is different.

This territory remains a place that Mayer Commerce hasn't been able to infiltrate.

Because the various city-states found here are too scattered.

The city-states are mutually independent.

City heroes hold major powers in the city-states.

They lack an actual ruler.

This means that trying to push the industry in the Tower of Eternal Daylight would easily face resistance from local strongmen.

Even Louis couldn't guarantee that once Mayer Commerce and Mayer Furniture entered, they wouldn't become local delicacies.

You could never understand how greedy and foolish such small power heads could be.

So this time, Mayer Commerce and Mayer Furniture were indeed not suited to go first.

"Our Mayer Ready-to-Wear already leans more towards selling the brand, selling to whomever, isn't it still selling?"

"While the Adventurer Guild there is helping us open the business, directly collaborate with city heroes, making them spokespersons for Mayer Ready-to-Wear and investing in local Mayer Ready-to-Wear stores, isn't that better?"

Louis may not be a business genius, but he understands human nature.

Using benefits as chips, providing job stability as chains, the alliance constructed from this is far more reliable than any verbal alliance.

As for the issue of city heroes being replaced...

Due to the Tower of Eternal Daylight's wild growth, a new city hero inheriting the 'family business' of the old city hero is quite a common occurrence there.

When the time comes, just switch to another person!

Amidst their casual conversation, he had already determined Mayer Commerce's next strategy.

But just after a day's rest, Beatrice came looking for him.

"Louis, are you interested in accompanying me for an inspection of the northern borders?"

Louis, who was munching on a cookie in his first wife's office, was taken aback:

"Why are you going to the northern border?"

Beatrice looked a bit worried and said:

"In recent years, the Abyssal Church has entered an active phase, and coupled with the winter this year, the number of minor magical disturbances the northern border lords face has surged."

"I'm a bit concerned and plan to personally investigate the situation."

"Coincidentally, don't you also have the Great River Project business to look into? You might as well come along with me."

She said earnestly.

Louis brought a piece of crisp to her mouth.

Beatrice gave him a sidelong glance for treating her like a child.

——But still ate the cookie.

Louis, with his chin in his hands, smiled blissfully and said:

"Is that the only reason?"

Beatrice turned her face away, unable to bear his teasing expression.

Louis saw this and his playful side emerged.

He moved closer to her, and Beatrice's warm breath was so clear.

She bashfully gave him a light push:

"Don't make me say things like that out loud!"

Gradually, her face flushed with rosy hues.

"…It's embarrassing."

Her spirited face showed some shyness, almost infectious as traces of warmth appeared on Louis's own face.

"Beatrice…"

"Hmm."

"I like you even more than I thought."

He leaned down, savoring the taste at the corners of her lips:

"Sweet."

He whispered, "This time, not many can stop us."

Indeed.

The little swan went into retreat.

This time, he could do as he pleased.
