Chapter 1012: Shocking Reality

Catherine looked at the old tailor in the live broadcast room who was giving her advice.

She was completely shocked.

This old tailor used to be the exclusive tailor for a big brand.

Later, for some reasons, she left that company.

Originally she planned to go to another company, but she happened to encounter the large-scale appearance of the Ximu-type mall.

She then used her private workshop to register a tailoring shop.

"I only take ten orders a day."

"Meeting a foreigner like you is really rare."

"Your DIY version is not bad; it shows you understand."

"That's best; we can communicate."

"I am a Daxia tailor, most familiar with Daxia techniques."

"I don't know if you like Daxia elements."

Upon hearing that this was a master tailor, Catherine became extremely excited.

People like this are meant to be revered.

Never expected she would run into this so casually.

"I like it, I really like it."

"Master, you should have seen, I'm using Splendid World elements."

The old tailor smiled and said.

"Of course, I noticed your tendency and that's why I asked."

"However, you don't quite understand Daxia techniques; look, the stitching here is wrong. You're using silk fabric, which cannot be sewn with ordinary stitching..."

The old tailor meticulously introduced her to the details.

And helped her make some adjustments to the template.

Adding some patterns designed by the old tailor herself, her DIY T-shirt underwent a qualitative change.

Catherine uploaded the latest template, and after confirming it didn't infringe anyone's intellectual property, she and the old tailor settled on the final plan.

After confirming, the old tailor began her own production.

The video remained on.

Catherine could see the old tailor's work.

Until the T-shirt was finished.

This shopping experience gave Catherine a huge shock.

Whoever has enjoyed this service would still go buy mass-produced goods?

Anyway, people with financial means probably won't buy mass-produced items anymore.

DIY is not only well-fitting, but also provides professional guidance.

For a master, is a 1000-yuan labor fee expensive?

This damn thing can be revered, right?

Catherine also specially had the old tailor leave her own mark.

She feels that in the future, this garment could have huge appreciation potential.

Fabric, plus template, plus labor ultimately cost Catherine 1776.

Compared to luxury goods, it's much cheaper, yet the materials, design, and labor are in no way inferior to luxury goods.

This price is something ordinary people can endure if they grit their teeth.

Normally wearing mass-produced clothing, for important occasions, putting on this will definitely not lose face.

Moreover, this clothing, being personally DIY, essentially never goes out of style.

Whenever worn, it's always one-of-a-kind.

Having used this new shopping method once, Catherine can't help but feel an impulse to order wildly.

"Let's wait until the day after tomorrow to see the finished product before deciding."

Shopping ultimately still requires looking at the finished product.

Only if the clothing is truly good is it truly good.

Thinking of this, Catherine again envied Daxia's logistics.

Such efficient logistics are perfect for new business.

"The most important thing is, the new business model not only doesn't greatly reduce jobs, but also provides many jobs."

At least those who truly have a skill will not be jobless; on the contrary, their income will be quite substantial.

Take this old tailor: ten orders a day, charging 1000 for such simple T-shirts, meaning her daily income will not be less than ten thousand.

That's three hundred thousand a month.

Catherine's estimate is a minimum.

Because she may in the future take on more complex orders.

Now, no one has yet recognized such a master.

After the master's fame spreads in the future, the orders she receives will not be T-shirts but fine garments.

Earning several million to tens of millions per year is entirely possible.

Is this about masters, or ordinary ones with decent skills?

Charging a few dozen yuan for labor is fine; earning one or two thousand a day is also no problem.

A month brings in several ten thousand, a year several hundred thousand…

If the technology is even worse, we wouldn't use it; it's still not as good as machines—who would use manual labor?

Besides, even if it's cheaper, this consumer group wouldn't use handmade production.

Thinking of this, Catherine's hands started to itch again.

Should she, while these masters are still free, order more clothes for herself?

Once these masters become famous, their prices will definitely skyrocket.

Naturally, the value of her own clothes will also skyrocket.

Just do it if you want to.

She didn't even have time to think about the job opportunities the New Business Model would bring to Daxia.

Thanks to her relentless efforts, she actually managed to find over a dozen masters.

She paid attention to each of them.

After she confirms the clothing quality the day after tomorrow.

She will then invest her own savings and place frantic orders.

The next day.

Catherine went to the warehouse company she had booked for today, with dark circles under her eyes.

The company already knew why Catherine had come.

They even specially sent someone over to explain things to her.

"Our Freshbright Company mainly handles fresh produce warehousing."

"We not only have three-dimensional fish ponds, but also large grasslands as habitats for live animals."

"We also have flash-freezing technology and cold storage."

"Our entire facility uses a fully intelligent automated warehousing management system."

"It can accurately determine the position of every piece of meat, every fish, and every egg."

"It can also complete the precise retrieval of every item within five minutes."

Catherine felt he was bragging.

"Every fish?"

She looked at the layers of fish ponds in the warehouse.

Each fish pond contains hundreds of fish.

"They swim around—are you sure you can locate them accurately?"

The other party replied confidently.

"Of course, this is our livelihood; we naturally wouldn't speak nonsense."

"You see them swimming around, but in fact they've already been tagged by our cameras."

"Like this, let me give you a demonstration."

Worried she wouldn't believe him, he pulled out a tablet, opened the warehouse management interface, and quickly found the numbered card representing the fish pond in front of him.

"Like this, this is the information for each fish in the pond; you pick one, and we'll locate which one it is."

Catherine was half‑believing, half‑doubting, and randomly selected one.

The other party directly tapped it on the tablet.

Immediately, a beam of light shone onto the fish she had selected.

And it kept following the fish as it moved.

Catherine opened her mouth wide, looking utterly incredulous.

She took the tablet, examined it carefully, and found it to be exactly the same.

Advanced—too advanced.

Is this Lanxing?

Daxia wouldn't have stolen alien technology, would it?

No matter how you look at it, it's so sci‑fi.

This is simply unbelievable.

They claim that food can be traced.

But they absolutely cannot achieve this level.
