The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and the others returned to the factory, but Zhao Zhigang and the others had not returned yet. However, everything was clear and they knew that they were not in danger. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were not so anxious. They thought that although Zhuantang was remote, Zhao Zhigang was there. There, you can always find a way to come back, but now I have no other option but to wait.

Zhuantang is so big that even if they rush over, they can't find them.

Zhang Chen asked Lao Wan to turn on all the lights in the factory yard, so that when they came back, they would know that everything was fine and not dare to come over if they were not nearby.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were sitting in the office. He Hongmei walked in, holding the Hongtashan cigarette in his hand. He handed the cigarette to Zhang Chen and said to him, "Brother Haigen didn't take it."

Only then did Xiao Zhao come to his senses and thought of asking them, how were you going today?

He Hongmei said the harvest was huge.

Zhang Chen also smiled and nodded.

Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally good news.

After sitting for more than half an hour, they heard a sudden noise outside. When they went out, they saw a tractor driving in. There were more than a dozen people standing in the truck bed, all workers from their factory, and Caidi was also inside.

Zhang Chen quickly asked Caidi, where is Zhao Zhigang?

"Still looking for a car, he should be in the last car, haha, Xiao Zhao, we went for a ride today."

Zhang Chen looked at the other people. They were all laughing and joking. Everyone was in a good mood, so he felt relieved.

Then, tractors came one after another. Every time one came, Caidi ran over, counted the number of people on the truck, and gave five yuan per person to the tractor driver.

When Zhao Zhigang arrived on the last tractor, he jumped out of the car and asked Caidi if everyone was ready?

"They're all back," Caidi said.

The machines in the workshop have begun to roar again. Zhang Chen hangs in the speakers in each workshop, and Ye Qianwen is singing:

"Leave half awake and half drunk/At least I have you following me in my dreams/I bet my youth on tomorrow/You trade your true love for this life/I don’t know how much sorrow there is in the world over the years/Why not walk away in style..."

There were many workers humming while working.

The next morning, the landlord came back from Sanliting and parked the tricycle in the yard. He went to the village committee and found A Ming. When A Ming saw him coming in, he said, "You went to look for me at home last night." What's up?

"Your mother forced you to take away those workers in my relative's factory when you checked for temporary residence permits last night?" the landlord scolded.

A Ming laughed when he heard this and cursed: "You vicious head, there is something wrong with me. Are you going to check the house in the brigade? It must be because I am not here. These people from the joint defense team are messing around and misunderstanding. I didn't do anything yesterday." If you don't believe me about beating old K in Wu Zhutou's room, ask Wu Zhutou. Wait, I'll find out who led the joint defense team last night. I'll call him over and kick him twice."

For this reason, knowing that the other party was cheating, the landlord had no choice but to say: "Forget it, forget it, I have to have a drink with my relatives in the evening, so I have to give face."

"How could I not drink the wine you're a poisonous person? Just say it."

In the evening, when the landlord, A Ming and Zhang Chen drank six bottles of wine with rice in a restaurant on Sanbao Street, A Ming patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, looked at the landlord, and said to Zhang Chen, Let's not worry about this poisonous leader, little brother, I recognize you as my friend, and your business will be my business from now on.

When it comes to the temporary residence permit, it is too troublesome for one person to go to the police station to apply for it. A Ming asked Zhang Chen, should your factory pay the money for the temporary residence permit or should they pay it personally?

Zhang Chen said that we all pay the bills in the factory.

"Okay, you, the boss, are old and reliable, so this matter will be taken care of by me." A Ming patted his chest and said, "You collect all their photos and ID cards tomorrow, and I will go to the police station to take care of them." Bring all the forms and go to your factory to get them done, okay?"

Zhang Chen said, this is great.

A Ming kept his promise and went to Zhang Chen's factory the next day with the form and registered everyone. He told Zhang Chen that I had already agreed that everyone's fees would be halved. .

Zhang Chen quickly said thank you, thank you!

After sending A Ming out, Zhang Chen wrapped the Hongtashan strip in newspaper and stuffed it into him, and A Ming left with a smile.

The next day, he sent all of them temporary residence permits.

…

For this new batch of fabrics, Zhang Chen designed many new styles, from linen cotton clothes to linen cotton trousers, linen cotton skirts, linen cotton robes, and linen cotton coats. He Hongmei participated in the entire design. The two of them cooperated tacitly, and it was often Zhang who After Chen designed the large outline, He Hongmei added and modified the details to make it more wearable and more considerate and delicate for women.

After the sample clothes were made, Zhang Chen found a sand washing factory and sand washed the sample clothes. The effect of this batch of high-count and high-density fabrics was beyond Zhang Chen's surprise. As He Hongmei said, there is a It feels old, but after sand washing, a layer of fluff appears on the surface of the fabric, which looks unique.

It feels very good to the touch, giving people a warm feeling. The fabric is very thin, making it very fluffy when made into a cotton coat, but it does not feel like cotton, which makes people feel thin, and the rough texture of linen is still there. exist.

This entire series of clothing looks simple yet fashionable, bohemian yet refined, and He Hongmei's details are a little bit playful.

Zhang Chen moved so quickly that a sample worker was too late. Zhao Zhigang arranged for three workers from Zhao Zhilong's workshop to also participate in making samples. In this way, Zhao Zhilong could still guide them from the side.

He Hongmei saw the sample clothes coming out one after another and exclaimed, "It's so happy, Master, this feeling is even more happy than when I was doing my graduation project."

Zhang Chen selected seven or eight styles that he thought were suitable for the north. Considering that northerners wear thicker clothes in winter, he asked Zhao Zhigang to move up two sizes, adding XL and XXL. Zhang Chen told Zhao Zhigang not to follow the book , and don’t be stubborn. When placing the numbers, don’t place them in the same proportion in all places.

"What about?" Zhao Zhigang asked.

"Think about it and use your brain. They just wear more clothes in winter. It's not that people grow taller in winter, or their hands grow longer. Don't put them in places like trousers, skirts, and sleeves. Otherwise, spring and summer clothes Fortunately, I can find a tailor shop to modify it when I grow up. This is a cotton coat, how do you ask them to modify it?"

Zhao Zhigang woke up and said, "Okay, I understand."

He Hongmei was chuckling beside her. Zhang Chen looked at her. She raised her thumbs at Zhang Chen and praised:

"Master Yingming, these board makers are really stubborn. When we sell clothes, we always encounter this kind of trouble. The M size is too small, so we change to the L size. In the end, the waist is not enough, but the pants are too long. , the bust size is enough, the sleeves are NND, half a hand grows out.”

"That's what you academics are doing to harm people. It's written like this in all the books, and even the national standards are set like this. I don't know what kind of fools they are, misleading people. Our national standard size is different from Japan's size." There is no comparison, they are much more scientific than us, and if they make clothes according to our national code, 50% of them will not be wearable," Zhang Chen scolded.

"Okay, okay, I agree with both hands. I am a victim myself. Feel free to criticize and I will cheer for you."

He Hongmei called out like this, and Zhang Chen shut up. He Hongmei was beside him, chuckling again.

Zhang Chen asked Zhao Zhigang to arrange the production of a small part of this batch of clothes that were enlarged by two sizes. Zhang Chen sent them to Guo Wentao, Ma Niu and the customers of Beijing Zoo. Their feedback was very good, and they immediately placed an order.

Ma Niu also said to Zhang Chen on the phone, "Brother Zhang, your clothes are really good in style. It seems like anyone can wear them. I always like them."

In fact, she is older than Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen called Xiao Li and reported the fabrics he needed, especially the high-count and high-density fabrics. Zhang Chen remembered that they still had several kilometers to go, so he asked Xiao Li to send them. I placed an order of several colors and a total of more than 30,000 meters, so as to ensure that the goods will be picked up and the fabric will not be interrupted in the middle.

Because it was the season in the north, the order volume was particularly large. Zhao Zhigang simply freed up Zhao Zhilong's workshop and started making winter clothes.

Zhang Chen then sent it to customers in Lanzhou, Xi'an, and Urumqi, and they also placed orders. He Hongmei shouted from the side, haha, great, I see the future and hope of our Chongqing.

"When you send it, I will give you a special discount. Tell me, how much discount do you need?" Zhang Chen and He Hongmei said.

"Don't need a dime."

He Hongmei shook her head. She looked at Zhang Chen and said seriously:

"I'm not being hypocritical or high-profile. I'll tell you about my parents' pricing strategy and you'll understand. In fact, the profit added to all the clothes we take is the same. You give us thirty, and we approve fifty. , if you give us fifty, we will also approve it at seventy. We won’t say that it comes in at thirty, but directly approve it at seventy. This is not how we set the price.

"For us, if we buy low, we sell low, if we buy high, we sell high. Besides, your prices are not high. As long as there are no imitations in the market, there will be no problem and there will be no impact. I know that our The batch of goods is so special. Once it goes up, it will definitely be very eye-catching and it will quickly open up popularity and sales.”

Yes, copycat copies, this is what gives Zhang Chen the biggest headache.

Zhang Chen stood at the door of the sample room and looked outside. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Lao Wan!"

Lao Wan ran over, and Zhang Chen told him to get the measuring tape.

Lao Wan ran to the warehouse and brought a fifty-meter measuring tape. Zhang Chen and Lao Wan gathered around the sample room and started measuring.

He Hongmei saw them and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Chen smiled and ignored her. He Hongmei followed them. After they measured all the sizes, Zhang Chen told her that I was going to expand the sample room. If you see it, use all the open space around it. More than one hundred and twenty square meters.

"Are you crazy? There are only two of you in the sample room, plus half of me. Why does it need to be so big?" He Hongmei asked.

"My equipment has changed the function of the sample room." Zhang Chen said.

"how to change?"

"I want to change the sample room into a space that integrates sampling and display. To be more precise, I want to change it into a clothing showroom, but we will design and proof in the showroom in the future."

"It sounds cool, why do you want to change it like this?"

"In this way, all our new models are sampled in the showroom. When customers come to the booth, they introduce them to the factory. Only here can our real customers see our latest models and place orders. And in the booth , we only produce some samples, in fact we have been selling old models for a while, of course, to the market, they are still new models.”

"I understand, in this case, someone is imitating the old model, and he thinks it is a new model. In fact, these styles have been sold all over the country and are about to be eliminated."

"Right, that is it."

"Excellent, Master, you are such a genius. No, no, no, we in Chongqing should do the same thing. Rent a house near the market. Real new models will be released..."

Zhang Chen interrupted her: "Hey, boss, you Chongqing is not the source, we are the source. As long as the source is under control, don't bother your parents."

Thank you Lao Chentang for the reward! Thank you for all the recommendation votes and reading! I wish everyone a happy life!
