Zhou Qiqi walked to the desk and pointed to the several pieces of clothing on it that were dyed exceptionally beautifully.

"Here's what we'll do, Director Zhang. The day after tomorrow, you'll personally make a trip to Huacheng with these few pieces of clothing. Don't say much, just let them see and touch them for themselves. Tell them that the original 'Guanghua' series is indeed no longer in production, but we have an upgraded version."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqiang immediately nodded, "Forget about the day after tomorrow, I'll go to the train station right now and take the nearest train!"

"What's the rush!"

Zhou Qiqi called out to him,

"Just looking at a piece of clothing isn't enough to intimidate those old foxes. I'm sending you there the day after tomorrow because I'm prepared."

She turned around and carefully took two pieces of paper from her handbag.

That was the ink-wash style invitation she and Zhouzhou painted together last night; it was exquisite.

"Take this and go find a printing factory today to print a batch of official invitations. Get them in tomorrow, and you can leave the day after."

She handed the drawing paper to Zhang Guoqiang, saying, "Go to Huacheng, and the surrounding wholesale markets, one by one!"

She explained carefully,

"Once you arrive, personally hand the invitations to the customers and tell them that our First Garment Factory is holding a 'new product launch' this Sunday. We sincerely invite them to come and see for themselves. The factory will cover all their travel expenses and the cost of their accommodation here!"

Zhang Guoqiang was stunned.

Zhou Qiqi continued:

“Tell them that if they're willing to come, they shouldn't rush to cancel their deposit. They can make a decision after seeing our new gadgets on Sunday! And—”

She deliberately dragged out the tone.

"As long as they don't refund their deposit, the money they paid before can be directly counted as a deposit for the new products! Not only that, they will be given priority in the first batch of our new products! And the price will be discounted by another 10%!"

"certainly,"

Zhou Qiqi's tone shifted, from humble to assertive.

"If you're determined to get a refund right now and can't even wait two or three days, fine, we'll refund double the amount according to the rules! But let me make this clear from the start: if you want to order goods from our First Garment Factory in the future, you'll be in a long queue. For in-demand items, they won't have priority."

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up as he listened, and he quickly took out his notebook and wrote everything down.

Zhou Qiqi's arrangement was skillful, combining both soft and hard tactics, giving the other party face while preserving her own confidence.

"I understand, Qiqi! I'll definitely handle this perfectly!"

He closed the notebook, full of confidence.

Just as he was about to turn around and go out to make arrangements, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at him with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"By the way, Qiqi, what exactly is a 'new product launch event'? How is it conducted?"

Zhou Qiqi was amused by him, waved her hand, and wanted to explain, but felt that it wouldn't be clear in just a few words.

"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own arrangements. Your task is to invite the people here for me and keep a close eye on the production at home to ensure that our 'Ink Splendor' can be produced steadily."

She remembered something and deliberately gave him further instructions.

"Also, those who are clamoring for their deposits back the most are obviously instigated by Qiu Fengxian. Don't show them any of the clothing, and definitely don't give them a single invitation! As for those who genuinely want to cooperate with us, when you send out the invitations, tell them to keep it a secret for now and not to spread the word. If the news leaks out, the discounts we promised them will be null and void!"

"Okay! I've got it! Make sure it's a secret!"

Zhang Guoqiang nodded repeatedly. He was very good at keeping secrets and had already mobilized the entire factory.

Now that he was completely confident, he rushed out, ready to make a big splash.

When he reached the door, Zhou Qiqi called him back.

"Wait, wait, wait, there are too many things to remember. I asked you to pass on a message to your cousin Zou Qianqian yesterday, saying that I would go to the teachers' college to see her this afternoon. Did you tell her that?"

"I said I ... it!"

Zhang Guoqiang nodded hurriedly.

"Let it go! I went to the school yesterday to find her and told her you were coming over this afternoon. She said she wasn't going anywhere this afternoon and would just wait for you in her dorm!"

"Okay, got it."

Zhou Qiqi smiled.

After arranging the few important matters at hand, Zhou Qiqi checked the time, then pushed her old bicycle out of the factory gate, turned the wheel, and headed straight for the teachers' college.

For the past three months, Zhou Qiqi has been heading straight to the garment factory whenever she goes to the city, keeping herself extremely busy. She hasn't been able to visit the teachers' college for a long time.

I'm riding my bicycle now, enjoying the street views along the way.

This time, I found that the open space in front of the school was much more lively than before. The number of stalls had grown considerably, with all kinds of stalls lined up in a row. Shouts and bargaining filled the air, just like a small market in later years.

Zhou Qiqi deliberately took a detour, passing by the intersection where she used to set up her stall.

This sight brought her a sense of surprise and warmth.

The two women next to her stall, Sister Zheng who sells socks and Sister Sun who sells men's clothing, were still sticking to their old spot.

When she decided to stop running her stall, seeing how hard their business was, she casually offered a few suggestions, such as having Sister Zheng take apart her socks and mix red, yellow, green, and blue to make seven colors, and sell them in packs of seven.

Another suggestion is for Sister Sun to sell men's clothing not individually, but as complete outfits, along with a few pairs of versatile shoes, so that people can immediately appreciate the whole look.
