The Pentium Era - South to North

Next, Xu Wenhui arranged intensive interviews. He told Zhang Chen, Mr. Zhang, since you have come out of the mountain, don’t hide it, just use this energy to shine, your limelight is only half. The brand value of Mutian and the intangible assets of your company are not earned in vain. You always have to earn back the money spent on your fashion show from the media. This is worse than advertising.

Xu Wenhui's words made Zhang Chen unable to refuse. Yes, you have even held a fashion show and it is not natural for you to accept media interviews. How many people and companies have spent money to invite so many media for interviews? Not necessarily willing.

It’s really no gain at all.

Xu Wenhui arranged for print and TV media inside and outside the province to conduct exclusive interviews with Zhang Chen and his company in turn. At first, the reporters gave in half because of Xu Wenhui's face. After contacting Zhang Chen, they also became very interested. They found that Zhang Chen Chen is really a rich mine. There are so many interesting things in him that can be mined.

He is a first-class designer, and the standard of this fashion show is obvious to all. He is also an entrepreneur, with so many large and many companies under his control, a painter, and a collector. His Lakeside Oil Painting Gallery is the best oil painting in China. The art museum with the largest collection and the richest works of art. Based on the valuation of the auction market in 2002, his collection is worth billions.

What is even more surprising is that his collection was carried out when everyone was not optimistic about Chinese oil paintings. His collection was of a salvage nature. If he had not collected it carefully at the beginning, many painters' works would not be in the market now. I'm afraid they've all disappeared.

His behavior was highly praised by the art circle, who believed that he had preserved half of the history of Chinese oil painting.

Next, the reporters unearthed more interesting things. It turned out that he ranked first in professional courses in Zhejiang and the United States in the college entrance examination, but failed because he did not meet the score line in cultural courses. This can be used to review the selection criteria for art candidates.

Also, it turned out that Miss Gong’s stunning Cannes costumes were also designed by him. Not only Miss Gong, but also a long list of female stars, it turned out that he designed their costumes. He is a design master who has always been hidden. Much more capable than the top ten designers selected every year.

He Hongmei, who was the first to win the costume design award at the Kyoto Film Festival, turned out to be his apprentice.

There is so much news to dig up about Zhang Chen, how could the media not dig in and dig deep?

Suddenly, all domestic media or columns that had something to do with fashion were exclusive interviews with Zhang Chen and Ban Mu Tian.

Zhang Chen's fashion show this time was a huge success, making "Half Acre Field" clothing a nationally renowned women's clothing brand and successfully entering major well-known department stores. This is a great success for many parties. Something of great benefit.

Originally, if a local general agent wanted to enter a well-known local commercial building, he needed to establish various relationships, which was very difficult. Now, after successfully entering, not only the sales of the general agent have improved, but also the expansion of the brand has been greatly improved. Notability is also beneficial, and recruiting secondary agents will be even more beneficial for them.

The cities and counties below saw half an acre of clothing in the most famous commercial building in the provincial capital, and they came to ask for a franchise.

At the same time, well-known shopping malls were still an important symbol to measure the quality of a clothing brand at that time. There were also more than a dozen specialty stores of various brands on the same street, and they were also sold in well-known shopping malls, which really made them become chickens. Needless to say, the crane and the phoenix in Chinese culture are so recognized by consumers themselves.

In addition to women who like to dress up, who doesn’t have "Ruili", "World Fashion Garden" and "Bazaar" magazines at their bedside? These magazines have long reports on this fashion show with pictures and texts. Those who are passionate about fashion Women, put down the magazines and go to the specialty store in Ban Mu Tian.

Those general agents called Zhang Chen, unable to hide their excitement, and told him that it is so easy to attract investment now. It is not that they come to negotiate terms with us, but that several companies in one place want to do it, and we will do the same in turn. We need to examine his investment, the location and strength of his store. Our clothing has a higher discount than others, and the exchange rate is lower than others. Guess what?

Haha, not only did those people not mind, they also said that this is what big brands are like.

Ma Ya from Shenyang called Zhang Chen and said, Brother Zhang, I'm really good now. The old agents, I called them whatever they wanted, and they just did what they did. If they weren't happy, I would refund the deposit if they weren't happy. , canceled his joining, he was always panicking.

Zhang Chen was happy as he held the phone. Although this fashion show cost Zhang Chen and the others more than six million yuan, Zhang Chen felt in his heart that it was worth it and that it was a must for a clothing brand. After many years of experience, he has made up his mind to make the annual fashion show a required event for their brand.

He even thought about it. The location does not have to be in Hangzhou. He could go to the beach in Sanya, go to the Great Wall for a catwalk, or go to Chongqing to spread their fire to all parts of the country. Lin Shuwan even told him, Brother, there is Taipei, don’t forget Taipei.

Yes, Zhang Chen thought about it. He would go to Taipei, Hong Kong, and Macau to do a catwalk in front of Chen Qihang's casino.

Zhang Chen will start preparing for next year's fashion show after the Chinese New Year. With longer preparation time, he feels that he will be able to do a more complete job.

Zhao Zhigang sorted out all the customers' orders and told Zhang Chen that it was definitely too late for production. Boss, so many orders have been added at once. Orders from Xu Qiaoxin and his foreign trade company are also increasing. I need to add more people here immediately.

Indeed, not counting new franchise stores, there are so many shopping malls in various places that need to distribute goods, so it is not a small quantity. Expanding production capacity is something that must be done.

"It's almost the end of the year, is it easy to recruit people now?" Zhang Chen asked Zhao Zhigang.

Zhao Zhigang said that it is still easy to recruit more than 100 people now. I want to do it in two steps. The first is to add 100 parking spaces to the original workshops and start recruiting workers immediately. The second step is to start recruiting workers in the new year. Finally, two new workshops will be opened.

Zhang Chen said yes, you can add more. It’s not that we don’t have room now, it’s just a matter of adding more machines.

Zhao Zhigang and Zhang Chen said that he planned to add 400 parking spaces to the two workshops after the new year. He had laid out the workshops and installed all the machines before the new year. When the workers went home for the New Year, they would all have tasks with them. When I go back and go to work after the New Year, I can bring my fellow villagers with me.

Zhang Chen said yes, Zhao Zhigang, things in the factory will be arranged according to your instructions.

…

After the fashion show, Zhang Chen and the others' main task was to prepare samples for Target. Fortunately, for the fashion show and order fair, both Ge Ling and Zhang Chen had prepared a lot of materials and had a lot of materials. Ideas and a series of products are still stuck in your mind. Now you can invite them out.

In addition, He Hongmei is not planning to return to Beijing before the end of the year and will stay here to help, which has increased their design strength a lot.

For Zhang Chen and others, there is another major event this year, that is, Qu Tianlin's printing factory will be relocated.

Qu Tianlin's new factory is located in the Xiasha Economic Development Zone, a ten-minute walk from the central kitchen of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and a ten-minute drive from Zhang Chen's factory. The factory was designed by Zhang Chen and was the inspiration for Zhang Chen's design. It comes from Liu Ligan’s Qiushi Academy.

In other factories in Xiasha, when you enter the gate, you will see a large green lawn or garden. What Zhang Chen designed for Qu Tianlin is that when you enter the gate, you will see a large piece of water with a large lotus in the water. Zhang Chen and Qu Tianlin said that lotus This kind of thing is the most beautiful plant. In spring and summer, a large area of ​​lush green is pleasing to the eye.

In autumn and winter, the remaining lotuses in the pond are not ugly, but have a unique charm.

In the middle of the pool, almost level with this large area of ​​water, is a road more than two meters wide and more than 20 meters long. This road is very unique. It is not a cement road, asphalt or stone road, but a road made of concrete. Made of stainless steel pipes and stainless steel grids.

The entire structure is in the shape of a concave shape, with an open space below. The concave area is paved with a layer of rain flower stones. Even if it rains heavily, there will not be any accumulation of water on this road, and it will all leak into the pool below. Went there.

People walking on the road are rustling. If a woman is wearing high heels, she needs to take off her high heels when she gets here, hold them in her hand, and then step on the rain flower stones. However, it doesn't matter. This road is clean enough. Even if you are wearing white socks, after walking over, the soles of your feet are still clean.

At the end of this road is a square factory building made of glass and white walls. The factory building is three floors. From the appearance, it does not look like a factory building, but more like an art gallery.

After Qu Tianlin's factory was completed, it immediately became a place where everyone came to visit and take photos. Especially the students in the university town took the time to come here. What they liked to do most was to take off their shoes and walk barefoot. I walked back and forth several times on the road to Yuhuashi, even though it was winter.

The trouble with so many people coming to visit is the security of their factory. Qu Tianlin has already explained that everyone can come in to visit. People are allowed in, but they dare not be careless and have to watch from both ends of the road. The most important thing is , to see if anyone would pick up the rain flower stones on the road and stuff them into their pockets.

If there are too many people like this, if we don't care, this road will soon be left with only stainless steel shelves.

Everyone feels that this factory is too strange and beautiful. Everyone agrees that this factory and Zhang Chen's factory are the two most beautiful factories in Xiasha.

Few people know that the designer of the two factories is the same person. The reporters who came to interview Zhang Chen heard that he also had architectural design works, so they also came here, took photos, and helped Qu Tianlin and his factory. Also publicized.

But here, after all, it is a factory, not an art museum. Qu Tianlin and his printing factory have large trucks transporting paper and delivering products every day. They cannot walk on this road of rain and flowers. Zhang Chen is behind the factory, facing another road. There is a back door designed on the road. When you enter through the back door, you will find Qu Tianlin's paper warehouse and finished product warehouse.

Every day, the back door will be busier than the front door. After Lao Tan was in charge of the construction, he said, well, the front door of this factory is for viewing, and the back door is for use.

Qu Tianlin smiled and said: "I like it, and our customers also like this design."

How could you not like it? Qu Tianlin's office faces the pool of lotus flowers in front of it. Looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see what Zhang Chen said is lush or unique.
