The Beauty of the Big Factory in the 70s: Reforming the Villainous Cub and Getting Rich

Chen Qing transmigrated into a period novel, becoming the aunt of a beautiful, strong, and tragic villain.

The 'beautiful and strong' parts were inherent to the villain; the 'trag...

Chapter 830 Queuing to Buy Magazines

Chen Qing didn't get home until 2 a.m. at the fashion show. Aunt Feng was waiting for her to come home and made her a hangover soup: "Comrade Chen, you're working too hard as the factory director."

"It's alright, I'm just a little busy these days." Chen Qing quickly drank the hangover soup and said, "It's getting late, Aunt Feng, you should get some rest."

Aunt Feng is quite old; it's hard to believe she stayed up so late.

After Aunt Feng returned to her room, Chen Qing also went to take a shower in a daze. After taking a shower, he was more awake and quickly adjusted the messy timetable.

After lying in bed for a while, feeling that it was past the time to fall asleep, Chen Qing got up again to calculate the order for nearly a hundred sets of clothes, how much profit it would bring to Shengxia Garment Factory, how to promote it, and who should be lent the clothes to, and who should be given them to to elevate their status.

As I was thinking, dawn broke.

The magazine is currently only available in cities with summer clothing stores. It has already been produced, and the stores have posted posters to remind customers to purchase it.

A total of 5,000 copies.

The products are distributed to 11 cities where stores have already opened, with less than 500 servings per city.

It wasn't that Chen Qing was afraid to sell in large quantities; for ordinary people, a three-yuan magazine was indeed very expensive. She wanted to test the waters first, saying it was a limited edition, and if it sold well, she could print more.

capital--

He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu lined up early, waiting to buy the magazine.

Xiao Yuchun supports this attitude.

He Yuxiang wanted to see how popular the magazine was and whether it was worth spending a lot of money on advertising.

but……

The fact that the two people lined up early but couldn't buy the magazine proves how popular it is.

Someone in front of the two siblings shouted, "I'm counting them. There are over four hundred servings in each city, and each person is limited to five servings. Even if they don't sell out so quickly, did you guys get some in advance?"

"That's right, we also want to see what beautiful clothes our first fashion show in China has produced."

"Chen Qing is the same. I even wrote to her, telling her to produce more, but she doesn't listen to the opinions of the people at all!"

"Yes, yes, three yuan is expensive, but it's not like we can't afford it. Who are we looking down on? I'll write a letter to Shengxia Garment Factory to complain later!"

"complaint!!"

"We must file a complaint! We queued for so long and still couldn't buy anything. This is outrageous!!"

...

The public was outraged. He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu quietly left. Although they were also disappointed that they hadn't been able to buy the magazine, as children of clothing factory workers, they still wouldn't complain about their own factory.

After the two siblings returned home, they saw their uncle engrossed in reading a magazine.

Xiao Yu was shocked: "Uncle, how did you manage to snag it?"

"I went to line up at three o'clock!" He Yuan admired his own foresight. His Chen Qing was just a junior staff member back then, and it was difficult to even get a newspaper from her just for a photo of her hosting. Now that she had put so much effort into making a magazine, it would definitely be even harder to get one. So he went out in the dark to line up and became the seventh person in line, successfully grabbing five magazines. "Perfect, one for each of us. You can take a look. Although your aunt is family with us, as Chinese people, seeing our ancient Chinese elements shine so brightly on such a big occasion is still very touching."

Even those with average taste were amazed by the clothes in the pattern, and I believe that those who love beautiful clothes will regard this as a divine book.

Xiao Yu hurriedly picked up the magazine on the table and looked at it, "This magazine feels so good."

The cover model is stunning and radiant!

Xiaoyu opened the package with great joy, each page stunning her. Some were accompanied by beautiful articles, and the poems were especially worth savoring. There was also an interview with Master Lin, who shared her journey in making clothes, as well as recommendations for some items.

However, Xiaoyu's favorite items were the clothes at the appreciation event. She touched each one carefully, saying, "They're so beautiful! I feel so happy to be able to wear these clothes!"

He Yuxiang also thought it looked good, "The cheapest set is 15,000 yuan." It's no different from being inlaid with gold.

His aunt also said that it wasn't about making money; the purpose of setting up such a large stage was simply to help Shengxia Garment Factory penetrate more social circles, open multiple branches, and maintain the brand's recognition among the public through high-level marketing.

Xiao Yu hugged the magazine tightly: "I'm already very lucky to have seen such beautiful clothes."

Beautiful clothes can really bring joy to one's heart.

He Yuan closed the magazine: "I'm going to work."

Xiaoyu saw him taking a magazine out and asked, "Uncle, why are you taking a magazine out?"

He Yuxiang: "He wants to show off."

He Yuan: "..."

Xiaoyu: "Hahahaha..."

He Yuan took the magazine to the research institute and, without any hesitation, boasted about the magazine's founder, the main organizer of the appreciation event, the designer, and so on.

The researchers at the institute already knew that the director's wife was the famous Factory Director Chen Qing. When he mentioned Factory Director Chen with a beaming smile, they all gave him face and agreed with him, even praising him for being a good match for Factory Director Chen. However, they did not expect that when the usually aloof Director He talked about his wife, he would act like a shy young man and even feel embarrassed.

Because of the magazine, He Yuan's mood at work improved.

Chen Qing has received complaints from people in multiple provinces about being treated differently!

Unable to defend himself, Chen Qing approached Xiao He and said, "Print an additional 50,000 copies."

"So many?!"

"Well, according to reports from clothing stores in various places, they have received a lot of complaints. Go ahead and print them. After printing 50,000 copies, I won't print any more, no matter how much they complain."

In the current economic climate, it's just a magazine, not food or clothing, a non-essential item. Selling 50,000 copies is already enough.

Yang Yihe immediately made the arrangements.

Chen Qing held another meeting with Lin Leyu and the design team. Everyone emphasized that the clothing had to be of the highest quality, and that it was better to take longer than to be perfunctory. They also stressed the importance of maintaining a proper sense of ceremony, whether it was inquiring about needs or delivering the clothing to the door.

Minister Lian came to see Chen Qing in the afternoon, saying, "You have helped our country increase its international reputation this time. The newspapers will definitely write a lot about your achievements, but you should be careful not to be accused of making money in a capitalist style."

"I know what I'm doing. All the proceeds from the magazine sales will be donated to impoverished mountainous areas for development."

Every year, Shengxia Garment Factory makes clothing donations, whether to impoverished areas or to soldiers on the frontier, which is a significant expense.

But once the magazine sells, it brings in a total of 150,000 yuan a month. Donating that amount would be a significant sum, at least enough to help our brothers and sisters in impoverished areas.

Ever since He Yuxiang showed her the photos, she has wanted to do charity work, but she has never been able to find a reason to do so.

After all, it's clothing donation.

excusable.

But now that all the money has been donated, what will others say?

You want to take the government's money and do good deeds at the same time, right? What's your position? Why are you meddling in other people's business?

Magazines are relatively expensive items, easily sparking public debate. If she then tries to quell the controversy by doing charity work, people will only criticize her for being scheming, and won't notice her original purpose. (End of Chapter)
