The internal subscription of shares at Huacai Garment Factory caused a sensation in the industry.

This also triggered a chain reaction. Some small businesses with poor performance were inspired by Huacai's experience and also carried out internal share subscription, hoping to transfer the operating risks to their employees.

As a result, only a handful of people participated in the subscription.

It has been quite a while since the reform and opening up. In recent years, there are many self-employed people who have opened factories and enterprises. Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Ordinary people have already had an economic scale in their hearts. If they know that the factory is not profitable, who would dare to invest in it? Now is not the time to hold a stable job and eat from the big pot.

In the end, these "imitating others" companies not only failed to transfer the risks, but were instead ridiculed by the industry.

With this comparison, everyone will be even more impressed by the strength of Huacai Garment Factory.

Who could have thought that a factory that started with just a few second-hand equipment and a rented courtyard would have developed so well today, with welfare benefits that even good companies like the power and oil industries cannot compare to them.

After all, in units like electricity and oil, no matter how good the welfare benefits are, it is impossible for them to allow their employees to subscribe to stocks or distribute dividends to them, right?

Just when many people were getting jealous, Huacai Garment Factory made another move. The land for their new factory building was approved and they were about to start construction!

On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, Shen Moer specially wore a bright red scarf. After the ceremony, the reporter took a group photo of the leaders present. Shen Moer, wearing a red scarf, stood among a group of middle-aged men, looking particularly eye-catching.

After taking the photos, Shen Moer sent several leaders to the car, and then walked towards the car herself.

As soon as she walked to the side of the car, she saw a small van speeding towards her not far away. Then there was a sharp brake sound, and the car stopped on the side of the road not far from her.

Shen Moer recognized that the small van belonged to the factory logistics and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The van opened with a bang, and Liu Yinshuang jumped out of it: "Ahhh, Director Shen, our Huacai is popular, popular!"

Shen Moer: “…”

She couldn't help but say, "We've been popular for quite a while."

After the fashion show, major media outlets rushed to interview them. They took the opportunity to air the pre-shot commercials on CCTV. Huacai's popularity and reputation have been unprecedentedly improved, and they are now a well-known brand known to everyone.

Liu Yinshuang had already jumped in front of her: "It's not this kind of popularity, it's popular abroad, abroad!"

The foreign media that were invited at the beginning successively published news about Huacai's fashion show. These news reports were quite popular and helped to increase Huacai's popularity abroad.

However, foreigners are more curious about the national costumes of this mysterious oriental country, China. It is unlikely to get them to choose the brand clothing of Huacai Garment Factory.

Moreover, news happens every day, and this little piece of news will soon be forgotten.

Until recently, a popular singer from the United States expressed in a talk show that she was very interested in a dress at a Chinese fashion show and wanted to buy it as a concert costume, but she had not yet contacted the manufacturer.

She even took out a very clear photo on the spot and praised the photo for several minutes in a very exaggerated tone, expressing her love for the dress, especially the beautiful pearls on it.

As soon as the talk show was broadcast, the audience, especially the singer's fans, rushed to look for the original news. Some enthusiastic people also called newspapers and TV stations, asking them to help contact the manufacturers in China and help their beloved idols find their favorite performance costumes.

Soon after, some "revealing news" appeared in tabloids in countries such as the United States, Brazil, and England. From the value of fabrics, craftsmanship, and jewelry to the cultural connotations behind clothing styles and embroidery patterns, a 360-degree, comprehensive analysis of the mysterious Chinese clothing was conducted.

As a result, people in these countries are more familiar with this dress than ordinary people in China.

After getting familiar with it, people, especially fans, feel that this noble and elegant attire is perfect for their beloved national idol!

Especially that pearl which is said to be one of the best in China. Shouldn't it be owned by their one and only star?

Some people even started calling diplomatic missions of various countries and the Chinese embassy, ​​begging them to help them make contact.

Since he wanted to get this suit, how could he not find out which manufacturer produced it? The name of Huacai Garment Factory was undoubtedly well-known in various countries.

Just half an hour ago, Liu Yinshuang received a call from the celebrity agent, formally negotiating with them about purchasing clothing. Then, as soon as she hung up the phone, she immediately received an invitation call from the Pakistan International Fashion Festival.

Pakistan is the fashion capital and a trendsetter of the world's fashion. The Pakistan International Fashion Festival is the most important event in the global fashion industry. This is the first time that Chinese clothing companies have received invitations to the Pakistan International Fashion Festival since the reform and opening up.

"We can go to Pakistan now, Director. You must take me with you. I will... No, I mean my lifelong dream is to take photos at Pakistan's fashion festival."

Liu Yinshuang was so excited that she almost let the cat out of the bag.

In her previous life, when she was older, she worked as a nanny for a movie star. The movie star often had to go abroad to participate in various activities, including the Pakistan Fashion Festival.

Every time she heard movie stars talk about fashion festivals with their gorgeous ladies and dazzling stars, she always yearned for it.

Even though she was not young at that time, what woman doesn't love beauty? Especially someone like her who never had the chance to dress up properly when she was young due to difficult family conditions. When she gets older, she actually envies those young girls who dress up beautifully all day long.

Pakistan Fashion Festival, there are the most fashionable girls in the world.

I never thought that this big dream would have the chance to come true in this lifetime!

Shen Moer laughed: "It's still early."

In September of the following year, a 200-meter-long T-stage was built on the fountain in front of the Eta Tower in Pakistan. Models from all over the world displayed their clothes on the T-stage. Huacai Garment Factory appeared with its self-designed Huashang brand clothing, which caused a sensation.

In early October, the Huacai team returned to China and was received by relevant leaders of the State Council and the Ministry of Light Industry, who encouraged them to continue working hard for the country's clothing industry.

At the Guangzhou Autumn Trade Fair that month, Huacai Garment Factory won an order worth 80 million US dollars, becoming the leading foreign exchange earning enterprise in the capital's garment industry.

In November, Huacai Garment Factory held a Huachang Night cocktail party in the capital, inviting domestic and foreign celebrities and wealthy people to watch the fashion show. "Huashang" officially became the first luxury clothing brand in China.

…

Time flies. After entering the 1990s, Huacai Garment Factory was officially renamed Huacai Group. The company established branches in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. At the same time, the Huachang brand was separated into an independent company.

By the millennium, Huachang had become an internationally renowned luxury clothing brand and a regular in the wardrobes of politicians, wealthy people and celebrities from all over the world.

New Year’s Eve.

In the past two years, Shen Moer has not been so busy. The group has been completely on the right track, and Huashang and Huacai have become two well-known brands as expected. She feels that her plans have been achieved, so she gradually let go of some things in the company.

Perhaps because she has gradually become more free, Shen Moer has recently developed a new hobby: cooking.

After learning from the chef of the hotel under the group for several months, Shen Moer felt that her cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, so she lavishly took charge of this year's New Year's Eve dinner.

She was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, and the nanny Aunt Tian was worried all afternoon, fearing that the hostess, who usually made a lot of money with a pen, would accidentally hurt herself.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Although the hostess was a little slow in cooking, her skills were indeed good. Especially the few Kung Fu dishes were cooked to a very high level and were really delicious.

"It's not ready yet? Why don't you leave a few and ask Aunt Tian to help you make them?" Fu Mingze said, standing at the kitchen door, pinching his brows.

Shen Moer had just finished cooking a dish, and when she heard this, she turned off the fire and said, “Okay, there are two Aunt Caitian in the back to help with the finishing touches.”

Rather than standing by and watching in fear, Aunt Tian would rather do it herself, so she agreed without hesitation.

Shen Moer washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen, asking as she walked, "Is the matter settled?"

In recent years, Fu Mingze's position has become higher and higher, and his work has become busier and busier. The things he researched are all confidential. Shen Moer never asked much at home, but on New Year's Eve, there were still a series of phone calls looking for people, and Shen Moer couldn't help but ask.

Fu Mingze glanced in the direction of the kitchen, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, and said, "It's okay."

Shen Moer glanced at him and complained, "We are an old couple, it would be embarrassing to be seen by others."

Fu Mingze grabbed her hand and said, "What era is this? How can you still have such thoughts? Besides, we are still in our prime, not an old married couple. Didn't Liangliang even persuade us to have a second child?"

Shen Moer: “…”

I couldn't help but remind him, "Director Fu, having a second child is against the policy. I'm afraid you, as the director, will be vetoed. Besides, your daughter is just envious of her classmates who have brothers and sisters. She just wants to do whatever she wants."

Fu Mingze: "We only have Liang Liang, so we don't need to have another one. I am just stating an objective fact. We are still in our prime, not old."

Shen Moer didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, our Director Fu is still young."

Glancing at her husband, whose temples already had a few gray hairs, Shen Moer couldn't help but tiptoe and kiss him on the chin.

Director Fu has been under a lot of work pressure in recent years. Although we don't know what he is researching, the awards, certificates and medals in his home study all indirectly prove the importance of his work and the outstanding achievements he has made.

In the blink of an eye, the young and handsome Fu Zhiqing's hair had turned gray.

Auntie Tian quickly prepared the food. When the food was served, the whole family looked around and found something wrong: "Where's Liangliang?"

Fu Zhiyuan frowned: "I saw her reading in the study after lunch, and I don't know where she went afterwards."

Shen Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "So I really didn't see her in the afternoon. I thought she went out to play with her friends, but it's already this late, so she should be back anyway."

Several old men looked at each other.

Fu Mingzhuo and his wife looked at each other and stood up: "Let's go out and look for it."

Their six-year-old son Leilei immediately stood up and said, "I want to go too. Is my sister playing hide-and-seek with us?"

A group of adults: "..."

Shen Moer first comforted the elders: "Children are always smart, and it's New Year's Day, nothing will happen. You eat first, and we will go to the neighbors' house in the alley to look for them."

Fu Mingze also stood up: "Yes, let's go and look for it, you guys eat first."

The two couples hurried out and looked around the alley. They shamelessly knocked on the doors of anyone who knew Liang Liang a little bit, but they still couldn't find anyone.

Moreover, the neighbors all said that they had not seen the beautiful granddaughter of the Fu family come out today.

Several people returned empty-handed. After returning home, they searched the house inside and out, but still did not see anyone.

The family couldn't even eat. The 90-year-old Mr. Fu stood up with his cane and said, "Let's go to the police station and report the case."

The old lady quickly supported him and said, "Hey, let's sit down and don't cause trouble for the children!"

Chen Moer also said quickly: "Grandpa, don't worry, think about it, Liang Liang's skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. She cried out that she was bored when she woke up in the morning, I guess she must have gone out to play, I'll call some of her childhood friends to ask."

Fu Zhiyuan quickly helped the old man sit back down: "Moer is right, our Liangliang is very skilled."

The old man said anxiously: "Then call quickly!"

Shen Moer and Fu Mingze looked at each other and both went into the study.

Unfortunately, after making a few phone calls, no one had seen their daughter.

Shen Moer spoke firmly to the old man, and at this time she was inevitably a little worried. She was about to call the police first, when she suddenly heard Fu Mingze ask: "Could it be, in there?"

It took Shen Moer a while to realize what he meant by "in there". After thinking about it, she found that it was really possible.

She signaled Fu Mingze to lock the door. When Fu Mingze locked the door and turned around, he saw a familiar half door on the wall of the study. Shen Moer walked in, paused at the door, and said, "Let's go in and look for it together."

Fu Mingze hesitated for a moment and then followed.

In the past few years, Shen Moer has had some free time and would go into the treasury from time to time to sort it out. Now the treasury is in perfect order, with rows of shelves filled with neatly stacked wooden boxes.

Neither of the couple spoke a word. They searched row by row in silence, and finally found the person on the nanmu bed in the corner.

The bed was moved in by the father and daughter when they hid in the treasure house during the war. They lived in the treasure house for quite a long time before and after the time travel. After the time travel, the bed was no longer useful, so they moved it to this corner.

Shen Moer hadn't been here for a long time. Only then did she discover that the golden nanmu bed was covered with thick cushions and large pillows. There was also a kang table on the bed with some drinks and snacks on it.

The "missing" Liangliang fell asleep leaning on the pillow at the head of the bed, holding a Daliang storybook in his hand.

Shen Moer: “…”

Fu Mingze went over and took the yellowed notebook and called his daughter a few times in a low voice. Not long after, the sleeping girl moved, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"dad?"

Fu Mingze stroked his daughter's hair and asked softly, "Why did you fall asleep here? Everyone is waiting for you to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

Liangliang rubbed his eyes, raised his hand to check his watch, and exclaimed: "Ah, it's so late!"

Chen Moer: "Everyone is waiting for you to eat. We and your uncle and aunt have been looking for you in the alley. Your grandparents are worried sick. Hurry up and get out!"

Liangliang jumped down from the bed: "Oh, let's go, let's go!"

He grabbed his parents' hands and ran out.

Shen Moer was helpless: "This child is so irritable."

A family of three came out of the treasure house.

The moment the treasure house door disappeared, Liang Liang looked back, then held his father with one hand and his mother with the other: "Mom, Dad, I just had a very long dream."

Fu Mingze immediately turned his head to look at her, and Liangliang blinked at his father: "I dreamed that our family spent many, many years together."

Shen Moer: "This is nonsense. If you don't dream, we will live together for many, many years."

Liangliang stuck out his tongue: "Yeah, mom is the best."

Seeing the family of three return to the restaurant, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been, kid?"

Liangliang quickly moved to the side of his great-grandmother and great-grandfather: "I was looking for something in the utility room and accidentally fell asleep."

The old lady hurriedly tried to touch her hand: "Isn't it cold in the utility room? How could you fall asleep?"

Liangliang grabbed her grandmother's hand and said, "Liangliang knows I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. I promise!"

Picking up the wine glass on the table: "I toast to everyone, happy New Year's Eve!"

Leilei was the most considerate of his sister, so he immediately grabbed the wine glass and shouted, "Happy New Year's Eve!"

The elders were immediately amused.

The food was reheated, and the taste was definitely not as good as freshly made ones. But I don’t know if it was because everyone was hungry or Shen Moer’s cooking skills were really good. In the end, except for a whole untouched fish, most of the other dishes were eaten.

After all the trouble, they were late for dinner. While they were eating, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. After dinner, Lei Lei couldn't wait to pull his sister to set off firecrackers.

Chen Moer and Fu Mingze first called every household they had called before to inform them that the person had been found. They then took gifts to visit their neighbors in the alley. When the couple returned home, it was already late at night.

Lei Lei had fallen asleep in Fu Mingzhuo's arms. Liang Liang lit the last firework, and the bright and beautiful fireworks exploded in the night sky.

"Thank you for being here, Mom."

Liangliang said softly.

Shen Moer looked at her daughter, smiled and hugged her daughter into her arms: "Baby, thank you for coming to mommy."

Fu Mingze looked at the mother and daughter silently, with a smile on his face.

Behind me, fireworks exploded with a crackling sound, and countless bright stars appeared in the night sky.

Another year has passed.
