Fan Hua would send several clothing design drawings to the garment factory every half a month. She had drawn at least hundreds of these drawings, so their garment factory didn't have to worry about new clothing products for the past year. She was good at design and had come from the future more than 40 years ago, so she had seen countless types of clothing. In terms of innovation ability alone, Fan Hua Garment Factory was definitely a dimensionality reduction blow to other garment factories!

Of course, she didn't plan to do the designing all the time. Next year, the undergraduates of 1977 and the college students of 1978 will graduate, and more talented people will start to enter the society for employment. By then, she will personally lead a design team to ensure the innovation ability of the garment factory. But now, she has to take on the work of an entire department by herself, because she is the boss!

Fortunately, Fan Hua has been very busy. In addition to going to school and accompanying her children, she also has to take care of the clothing factory, clothing store, and picture books. She has no time to think about Zhao Yilu, otherwise she would be worried to death.

Not long ago, Zhao Yilu sent back a letter saying that everything was going well and that he had led his team to several victories. The State of Yue had been much quieter recently, and he would definitely be more careful and make complete countermeasures to prevent the same fate from happening again.

After reading the letter, Fan Hua felt much more at ease. Now she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate!

She folded the letter carefully, put it back in the envelope, and kept it in an old wooden box on the desk. There was also a letter that Zhao Yilu had sent her when he remitted his allowance in Guicheng, which Fan Hua had been hiding secretly.

In the following days, Fan Hua devoted herself to the work of the garment factory. She not only strived for excellence in design, but also began to optimize the production process, introducing some advanced equipment and technology, which significantly improved the production efficiency and quality of clothing.

At the same time, she also pays great attention to team building, frequently communicates with workers, understands their needs and difficulties, and provides timely help and support.

The garment factory is becoming more and more profitable. It already has stable orders and cooperative enterprises, and the profits are also very considerable.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of the year. Fan Hua was going to distribute the first dividend to the investors of the garment factory.

After Fan Hua asked Geng Ailing to settle the bill, she made an appointment and invited everyone to come out for a gathering. Except for Aunt Chu who stayed in the family compound to help look after the children, everyone else arrived.

In a private room of the newest private restaurant in Yangchang, Fan Hua cleared her throat and said seriously: "Dear original investors of Fanhua Garment Factory, today is the first day of winter vacation, and many people will go back to their hometown tomorrow, so I quickly organized a meeting today.

Next, please allow our financial director Comrade Geng Ailing to report to you the income and expenditure of the garment factory from its opening to now, which is nearly five months, as well as the plan for the garment factory next year, and calculate how much dividend each of us can get at the end of this year. "

After Fan Hua finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Geng Ailing. Geng Ailing stood up without being servile or arrogant, took out the carefully prepared financial statements from the file bag, and said in an orderly manner: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the opening of the Fanhua Garment Processing Factory nearly five months ago, our total sales have reached an astonishing 248,000 yuan. In terms of expenditure, the costs of raw material procurement, equipment purchases, and worker wages totaled 67,000 yuan, and the current net profit on the books is 181,000 yuan."

When they heard this number, there was warm applause in the box.

"This is too much money! I can't help but invest in opening a factory. Do you have any good ideas? I will continue to invest!" Su Qingqing couldn't help but say.

Everyone burst into laughter, only Zheng Zening looked at Su Qingqing thoughtfully.

Geng Ailing motioned for everyone to pause before continuing, "Regarding the plan for next year, our boss Fan intends to further expand the scale of production and introduce two more advanced production lines, which will greatly increase production and meet more order demands. At the same time, we will increase investment in design and form a professional design team to ensure that the clothing styles are novel and unique and enhance market competitiveness.

So we plan to set aside 100,000 yuan for next year's production, and the remaining 81,000 yuan will be used as today's dividends. From now on, we will receive a dividend from the garment factory at the end of each year!"

Everyone applauded. They originally thought that it would take at least one or two years to see the benefits, but they didn't expect that the garment factory would make so much money in just five months. It turned out that it was a good decision to follow Fan Hua in the beginning. This was simply making money without doing anything!

"According to the proportion of your investment, this time Lihua will receive a dividend of RMB, Qingqing and Zening will each receive a dividend of RMB 6,750, Fan Youcheng will receive a dividend of RMB 5,400, Su Wen and Editor Zhang will receive a total of RMB 3,375, Aunt Chu and Brother Yang will receive a total of RMB 2,025, Xiyue will receive a dividend of RMB 675, and Yongliang and I will receive a total of RMB."

Geng Ailing read out the amount of money everyone would get this year, and Fan Hua smiled as she opened her bag and took out a stack of red envelopes containing the amount of dividends each person would get. Every time Geng Ailing read out an amount, she would smile and hand out one.

After distributing the money, Geng Ailing raised her glass and said with a smile, "Let's toast to Lihua and thank Boss Fan for helping us make a fortune. Judging from the current momentum of the garment factory, I believe that by this time next year we will be able to get at least three times as much as we did this year. We are so lucky to be Lihua's friend!"

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers to our Boss Fan!"

Fan Hua picked up the wine glass filled with tea and said with a smile, "You know, I can't drink much. I haven't been home all the way and I have to drive back soon. I won't drink anymore. I'm afraid that I'll get drunk and bite the child..."

Everyone burst into laughter again...

"I'll use tea instead of wine. Let's toast to celebrate the wonderful beginning of our garment factory in 1980. I hope that next year our garment factory can create a bigger wave in the market and become a leading brand in the industry. At the same time, I also hope that our friendship will last forever, and everyone will be happy and prosperous in the new year!"

After that, Fan Hua smiled and clinked glasses with everyone. The glasses collided, making a clear and pleasant sound, and the atmosphere in the box became more and more lively. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food in the private restaurant while chatting with great interest.

Although they all met through Fan Huacai, they have now become very close friends.

Fan Hua looked at this group of like-minded friends in front of her and felt deeply moved. Fortunately, she met these lovely people after coming to this world, which allowed her to adapt to life here quickly.

It's a pity that Zhao Yilu is not here today...

He has been out on a mission for three months. It's time for him to go back!

I don’t know if I can make it back in time to spend the New Year with her.

Fan Hua just hopes that he will be safe this time!
