Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

The next morning, Zhang Chong drove Xu Yiyang and Xu Ma to Dongshili.

The garment factory Xu Ma used to work in was in Dongshili, but Xu Yiyang had never been here, and today was the first time.

On the way, Mama Xu introduced to Xu Yiyang that this garment factory is called Guancheng Garment, a private enterprise that has been in business for more than ten years.

In the early years of Guancheng Clothing, its business was pretty good, but in the past few years, its efficiency has been getting worse and worse. Later, it can only survive on the mass customization of local schools and enterprises.

But even so, business is not orderly.

Since last year, a large garment factory in Quancheng has been grabbing orders everywhere, not only viciously competing, but also blatantly giving kickbacks. Many orders from Yingzhou enterprise schools have been snatched away by the other party.

Li, the director of Guancheng Garments, is decent and not flexible. He can't handle the key people in school and unit procurement, so he gradually loses out in the competition.

Because it has been losing money, Guancheng Garment still owes a lot of loans to the bank, and it has been unable to make ends meet since years ago.

Dongshili, where Guancheng Garments is located, is relatively barren as a whole. There are almost no buildings with more than five floors on both sides of the national highway, which is particularly desolate.

At a fork next to the national highway, there was a mottled billboard hanging on it, which read: Guancheng Garment Manufacturing Company, 800 meters inward.

When the car drove in, you could see that there was an open-air training ground for a driving school next to it.

Xu Yiyang glanced at it, and found that there were some crooked bamboo poles erected here and there in the venue, and some students were practicing dumping the warehouse around a few green 212 jeeps.

So he asked Zhang Chong: "Old Zhang, is it troublesome to take the driver's license test now?"

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "What's the trouble? After passing the theory test, you can pass the rest of the car test after a few days of practice. Have you seen those bamboo poles in their field? The test is similar to this, as long as you don't Knock the pole into the air, and the examiner will pass it to you."

As he said that, Zhang Chong said again: "I have a buddy who works in the vehicle management office. If you want to take the driver's license test, I'll say hello for you. You will definitely get the license within 20 days at the earliest."

"So fast?" Xu Yiyang was extremely surprised. In his previous life, he took the driver's license test after graduating from university, and he took the test in Yanjing. At that time, the test was not too troublesome, but it took a month or two before and after failing a subject.

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "There are not many people here who learn to drive, and the exam schedule is very fast. If you learn fast, you will take the test once a week. The theory will be tested first. During the written test, I will find someone for you to pass directly. I will also find out your relationship with the road test, and it should be done soon."

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "So simple?"

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "You can find acquaintances for the exam, just say hello and turn a blind eye and pass."

Xu Yiyang was a little moved when he heard it.

He has been a veteran driver for more than ten years, and he can easily pass the test without going through the back door. The main reason is that he is afraid that the time will be too long.

But since the test is so casual now, it should be very fast to get a driver's license.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyang said to Zhang Chong: "When I leave the garment factory later, I will drop by the driving school.

I sign up. "

While talking, the car has already arrived at the entrance of Guancheng Garment.

On the door of the gate, there are four large characters painted on the iron sheet: Guancheng Garment.

The painted characters were cracked and mottled, and looked particularly defeated.

The factory occupies a large area. In addition to an old-fashioned large factory building with red brick structure, there are several bungalows and a yard of two to three thousand square meters.

Although the place is big, the land is really worthless in this poor place like Dongshili.

Guancheng Clothing now doesn't even have a guard, and the rusty iron gate is directly open, so Zhang Chong directly drives the car into the yard.

There are no cars in the yard, just a row of tattered bicycles against the wall, and the only motor vehicle is an old scooter. Just from this means of transportation, we can see the embarrassment of Guancheng's garment manufacturing.

The mother sitting next to Xu Yiyang pointed to a bungalow next to the factory building and said, "That's the factory director's office."

Zhang Chong simply parked the car in front of the factory director's office.

Immediately, the car turned off, and the three pushed the door to get out.

At this time, a few employees inside poked their heads to see it, and they all felt very strange to see a brand new car.

A sharp-eyed person recognized Mama Xu, and asked in surprise, "Sister Lu, why are you here?!"

Mama Xu smiled and said, "Xiao Ma, I'm here to talk to the factory manager about something."

The man laughed and said, "Miss Lu is amazing! He's already in a car! Oh, this is your son, right? I saw it on TV! He's really promising!"

Xu Yiyang nodded to the elder sister, Xu Ma smiled modestly and was about to speak when the door of the factory manager's office suddenly opened, and a young woman in her twenties appeared at the door.

Xu Yiyang glanced at this woman and couldn't help being surprised.

In fact, with the aesthetics he cultivated in later generations, most women in this age don't feel amazing.

Gu Sijia and Shen Lele are just young girls who are still childish. They are good-looking, but they are still too immature in temperament.

Moreover, even mature women in their twenties rarely catch his eyes, because in his opinion, they either have a slightly earthy temperament or poor clothing.

Especially the issue of clothing, this is really a huge gap left by the times.

The clothes that women think are very fashionable in this era are hard to catch in Xu Yiyang's eyes.

However, the woman in front of him not only has delicate and beautiful features, a slim and tall figure, but more importantly, her clothes gave Xu Yiyang an illusion of overlapping times.

She was wearing a loose white lady's shirt, the sleeves were casually rolled up to the elbow joints, and the shirt had light natural folds.

The lower body is a pair of light blue straight-leg jeans. I don't know if they are washed and worn out, or they are really old. The white tones in the light blue of the jeans seem perfect to Xu Yiyang.

Compared with the big flared trousers that have become a disaster on the street, this ordinary straight-leg trousers look extraordinarily fresh.

Moreover, she tied her long hair into a ball head, with the appearance of rolling up her sleeves, giving people a very capable feeling.

The woman stood at the door, watching a brand new Buick car drive in, and she was also a little surprised.

Looking at the three people beside the car, I found that Mama Xu looked familiar, so I said in surprise, "Aunt Lu?"

Xu's mother was equally surprised and asked, "Xiaoxuan? When did you come back? Where's Director Li?"

The young woman said: "Aunt Lu, I just came back at the beginning of the month. My father has not been in good health recently. He stayed in the hospital for a few days ago and has just been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home."

Xu's mother hurriedly asked: "Is Director Li's health okay?"

The young woman smiled slightly, and said: "It's because of overwork and a bad mood that I can't bear it anymore, but I'm better now, and I'm recuperating at home."

Mama Xu nodded and asked again, "Are you managing the factory for Director Li?"

"Yeah." The young woman sighed, and said helplessly, "My dad's physical condition can't take care of the factory, so I came back to help him for a while. Isn't this just looking for a buyer for the factory? If so, let’s go.”

Mother Xu nodded, introduced Xu Yiyang beside her, and said, "By the way, Xiaoxuan, this is my son, Xu Yiyang."

Xu Yiyang nodded at her and said, "Hello."

The young woman smiled and said, "Hi, I've heard people talking about you a long time ago, saying that you are amazing!"

Xu Ma smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan, stop praising him."

After speaking, he said to Xu Yiyang: "Yangyang, this is the daughter of Director Li, Li Xuan, you have to be called Sister Xuan."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Xuan."

"Hello!" Li Xuan gestured with a smile, and hurriedly said, "Come in and sit down!"

Mother Xu brought Xu Yiyang in, and said with a smile, "I brought my son here because he wanted to order a batch of t-shirts. I wonder if our factory is still taking orders?"

"Take it!" Li Xuan said with a happy face, "I'm just looking for orders every day. If this factory can't be sold for a day, it has to continue to operate. Once the work stops, it will be even more difficult to sell."

If a factory is no longer operating normally, buyers will definitely lower the price to death.

Because he knows that after the factory stops production, the factory owner can't afford it at all, so he can only get rid of it as soon as possible.

Therefore, if you want to sell at a normal price, you must ensure that the factory is still operating normally.

For the factory to function properly, there must be orders.

Li Xuan said, looked at Xu Yiyang, and asked: "Mr. Xu, I don't know what kind of T-shirts you want to order, and what is the approximate quantity?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Sister Xuan, don't call me Mr. Xu in front of my mother, just call me by my name."

Li Xuan said with a smile: "It's better to make Mr. Xu look formal when talking about business."

Xu Yiyang didn't insist, and got straight to the point: "That's right, I want to order a batch of short-sleeved T-shirts and print my brand logo on them."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's no problem. We can do it. I wonder how many pieces Mr. Xu plans to order?"

Xu Yiyang thought for a while and said, "As for the quantity, I want to order 20,000 pieces first. If the scale of the training class expands, I will definitely add more."

Jiayang Education currently has thousands of English and math students combined, and it will continue to expand to the surrounding areas soon. Maybe after the summer vacation, the combined number of students in several cities will exceed tens of thousands.

So 20,000 pieces are only the first batch.

What Xu Yiyang thought was that after these cultural shirts were made, they would be put into new cities first.

At that time, the cultural shirts will be directly regarded as promotional activities. For example, the first batch of 2,000 people who sign up will be given away directly, which will be more conducive to promotion.

The cost of t-shirts is not high. If there are 2,000 children running around wearing such t-shirts in the urban area of ​​a city, the publicity effect will definitely be very good.

When it develops to Quancheng and Qingdao, the two largest cities in the province, the cultural shirts with logos will definitely have a greater effect in publicity.

Moreover, I can also give a batch to veteran students in Yingzhou, and use it for subsequent registration promotions, or consumption deposit promotions, such as free one for two consecutive registrations, and one for deposits of more than 200 yuan.

It seems to be a gift, but the more you actually give, the more you earn.

Li Xuan was taken aback by this number, and subconsciously asked: "Mr. Xu, you just said you want 20,000 pieces?!"

Xu Yiyang gave her an affirmative answer: "That's right, it's 20,000 pieces, this is only the first batch."

When Li Xuan heard this, she immediately felt that she had grasped at straws.

She thought that hundreds of thousands of pieces would be a big deal, but she never expected that Xu Yiyang's price would be 20,000.

During the recent period, Li Xuan has been overwhelmed by the situation of her garment factory. Not to mention the bank owed more than 100,000 yuan in loans, the orders are basically almost finished.

The factory laid off a group of employees a few years ago, and it has been struggling to make ends meet until now relying on some last orders.

And the biggest problem is that there are fewer and fewer final orders, and there are no new orders coming in. Seeing that these last orders are completed, the factory will have no more orders to make. Once there are no orders, the factory will inevitably stop production, and employees can only Disbandment, at that time the only way left for the factory is to sell at the price of cabbage.   Unexpectedly, Xu Yiyang suddenly appeared at this time, asking for 20,000 t-shirts.  The garment factory has not yet found a new home, and the remaining orders will be finished soon. The most important thing now is to find orders so that the factory can maintain its operation.  Even if it doesn’t make money, at least it can support the workers and keep the factory running.  So the 20,000 t-shirts are indeed a timely rain that can save lives for Guancheng Garment!
