Chapter 402 Extra: A Benchmark in the Clothing Industry
Gu Yihan smiled and put away the leggings.
Actually, she didn't like them either, but leggings were popular now and had high profit margins, so she had no reason to turn down money.
afternoon
When Lu Huailin arrived at the clothing store, Gu Yihan had just finished cleaning and was sitting on a stool resting.
He looked at the empty clothing racks in surprise and asked in confusion, "Are they sold out?"
Gu Yihan weakly raised her eyes and glanced at him, then nodded and softly hummed in agreement.
Lu Huailin felt a pang of heartache when he saw that his wife was too tired to speak.
He quickly walked up to her, bent down, and carried her to the car.
Back to the family compound
After calculating the profits earned on the first day of business, Gu Yihan glanced up at Lu Huailin, who had just finished cooking dinner.
He asked mysteriously, "Guess whether you made a profit or a loss today?"
Did you make a profit or a loss?
Two options?
Did they not only fail to make money, but actually lose money?
Lu Huailin glanced at his wife without showing any emotion, and saw that she had no expression.
Then he smiled and said, "Wife, the result doesn't matter."
"As long as you're happy, I'll be happy even if I lose money."
Gu Yihan glanced at him, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turning up slightly, and deliberately said in a deep voice, "You earned eight hundred."
Lu Huailin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
He then immediately praised her, saying, "Wife, you're amazing! You earned several months' salary in just one day."
"Wife, you're so amazing, you can't look down on me!"
Gu Yihan saw that Lu Huailin was deliberately putting on a frightened look.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hao Hao, who was doing his homework, couldn't help but twitch his lips upon hearing this.
As the clothing store's business gets better and better
Gu Guhao was saving money faster and faster, and she was not satisfied with the status quo.
We started by targeting boutique stores in prime commercial areas, drawing our own design drafts, and collaborating with shirt factories in Beijing.
Zhang Mei is now closely following in Gu Yihan's footsteps, working as a clothing designer in her shop.
I'm always so busy, my feet barely touch the ground.
When Zhao Xu got home and saw the unwashed dishes in the kitchen, his anger flared up.
"Zhang Mei, your heart is getting wilder and wilder."
Zhang Mei paused in drawing the design draft, glanced at him, and said casually, "What do you mean you're getting wild?"
Zhao Xu saw that she had a "what's the worst that can happen?" expression.
He scoffed, "How many days has it been since you cleaned the house?"
"And the dishes in the kitchen haven't been washed for three days in a row!"
Are you planning to stay until the Lunar New Year?
Zhang Mei looked up and saw Zhao Xu's ashen face, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Without saying a word, she stood up, walked past him, went straight upstairs, took out her bankbook, and threw it in his face.
Zhao Xu subconsciously turned his head and caught the passbook with lightning speed.
He looked up at Zhang Mei, puzzled.
"If you don't earn as much as I do, then shut up."
Zhang Mei glanced at Zhao Xu indifferently and sneered.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened his passbook.
When he saw that the amount deposited each month was higher than his salary, he was surprised.
The words I wanted to say instantly got stuck in my throat.
Zhao Xu rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he was seeing.
Why would Gu Yihan pay Zhang Mei such a high salary?
He glanced cautiously at Zhang Mei, who was engrossed in drawing.
She tiptoed out and knocked on the gate of Lu Huailin's courtyard next door.
Lu Huailin was hoeing and planting vegetables in the yard when he heard a rapid knocking on the door. He thought there was an emergency at the military base.
He threw down his hoe, took two steps at a time, and opened the courtyard gate.
Before he could speak, Zhao Xu grabbed his arm.
He pointed tremblingly at the passbook: "Commander Lu... Commander Lu."
"My wife's lowest monthly salary was 400, did you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin glanced at the balance on his bankbook and said irritably, "Is this something to make such a fuss about?"
"My aunt's salary is based on the sales volume of her design drafts!"
If Zhang Mei's salary is low, doesn't that mean his wife's clothing sales aren't good?
Zhao Xu looked at Lu Huailin in disbelief, speechless for a long time.
Seeing his horrified expression, Lu Huailin clicked his tongue in disapproval.
"Political Commissar Zhao, please consider that we are in the same boat."
"I advise you to learn from me, be more diligent, and get started with laundry, cooking, and cleaning."
"Otherwise, if one day your aunt thinks you're useless and a nuisance, she'll kick you out, and you'll have nowhere to cry."
Zhao Xu's head was buzzing from the sight of the more than ten thousand yuan in his bankbook.
He nodded perfunctorily.
Clutching the savings book, she returned home and dutifully followed Lu Huailin, learning to cook, do laundry, and clean.
He became a stay-at-home husband.
Zhang Mei has also completely broken free from being a stay-at-home mom.
Every day, she wears fashionable clothes and shuttles between shirt factories and clothing stores.
Gu Yihan has opened ten clothing stores in the past two years.
With its novel and sought-after styles and a scarcity marketing strategy, it quickly gained a foothold in the apparel industry.
This attracted a group of unemployed youths who would occasionally scout out the location, hoping to find an opportunity to make a quick buck.
Upon learning of this, Lu Huailin immediately contacted more than a dozen veterans and had them patrol each location during the day.
After get off work in the evening, I safely escorted the store staff home.
The business world is like a battlefield.
Lu Huailin was worried that someone in the same industry was jealous of Gu Yihan's successful business.
He often drove his military jeep to support her from time to time.
Those in the clothing industry who were jealous of Gu Yihan and wanted to do something malicious almost fainted from holding their breath.
In July 1986, Gu Yihan founded Wanyuan Fashion Company, focusing on high-end clothing manufacturing.
From product research and development, design and manufacturing, to building brand image, and to integrating sales channel management and supply chain management.
It became the first representative and benchmark of transformation in the apparel industry, attracting nationwide media attention.
In an interview, Gu Yihan said with a smile that Wanyuan Fashion Company has developed to where it is today.
It all depends on the designers staying up all night to work on the designs and the sales staff riding bicycles under the scorching sun to deliver orders door to door.
That's how the brand came to be today; this achievement isn't solely due to her efforts.
It was built through the hard work and dedication of all the company's employees.
Zhang Mei and Bai Yun saw Gu Yihan's interview on TV at the Lu family's house.
I was so moved that I couldn't help but wipe away tears, feeling that all the sacrifices were worthwhile.
Bai Yun glanced at Zhang Mei and sighed, "The best thing I ever did in my life wasn't marrying my husband, Lao Gao."
Instead, he decisively resigned from the garment factory and stayed by Xiaohan's side.
Gao Guoqiang, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Lu Huailin, glared at him as Lu Huailin smiled.
It's all because of his wife. Not only did she run off with Zhang Mei from Zhao Xu's family, but she didn't even spare his own wife.
Lu Huailin didn't care what others thought; he was watching Gu Yihan on TV.
Although he wasn't mentioned at all.
I felt a tiny bit uncomfortable and jealous.
But he couldn't suppress the pride in the corner of his eye.
In Lu Huailin's heart, his wife Gu Yihan is the best.
