Chapter 233 External Designer
Aunt Luo and Sister Zhao walked into the room. Lin Anan warmly asked them to sit down and went to make two cups of tea.
Sister Zhao took the cup and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, I'm so sorry to bother you. I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you."
Lin Anan was a little curious, "Sister Zhao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You don't have to be so polite."
Sister Zhao looked at Aunt Luo, and the two looked at each other. Aunt Luo nodded slightly, and Sister Zhao spoke: "It's like this, Sister Lin, I went to Lulu's place yesterday and saw the four-piece suit you made. No matter the style, color, or workmanship, it was very exquisite and really beautiful.
So I came here shamelessly to ask where you bought it and if I can help you. Our clothing factory is under the military region, so our annual production and shipment volume are guaranteed.
Lin Anan was slightly stunned after hearing what Sister Zhao said, but then she reacted and explained with a smile: "Sister Zhao, I didn't buy these four sets, I made them myself. I usually like to study these, and I make them when I have nothing to do."
Sister Zhao's eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "Oh, Sister Lin, I didn't expect you to be so clever! This is amazing. I fell in love with this four-piece set you made at first sight."
Aunt Luo also echoed, "Yes, An An, when I saw that four-piece suit, I also thought it was very beautiful, completely different from those on the market."
Mrs. Zhao continued, "Sister Lin, I have something to ask of you. You see, our bedding factory really needs some new styles to improve our competitiveness. Can you give this style you designed to our bedding factory?"
Of course, we will not let you help us for nothing. We will pay you the full amount you deserve. As long as you are willing, we can negotiate the terms."
Lin Anan was a little hesitant. These designs were indeed novel and unique in this era. After all, they were the crystallization of people's certification for future use and after numerous screenings.
But this is not my purely original work!
She frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, “Sister Zhao, I am very grateful for your love and recognition of these designs, but these designs are a little special to me.
I am also worried that it would be inappropriate to directly apply it to the production of bedding factories. For example, whether the production process and materials are in compliance. "
Lin Anan felt that this could actually be done. She could improve the four-piece set according to the needs of this era and then design it. After all, the design draft was not difficult.
And there are many ways to design the four-piece set, with different qualities, colors, and patterns for spring, summer, autumn, and winter...
Mrs. Zhao said quickly, "Sister Lin, don't worry about this. Our bedding factory's production technology is relatively advanced in this area, and the materials are not a problem. As long as they are sold on the market, our bedding factory has the priority to purchase them.
If you encounter any problems during the production process, we can work together to find a solution. You don’t have to worry about the compensation, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Aunt Luo also thought this was an opportunity. "An An, this is a really good opportunity. Why don't you talk to Sister Zhao about the form of cooperation? You are so capable. If you promote these designs, more people will be able to use good things, and you can also increase your income. What a great thing."
Lin Anan bit her lip and came up with an idea.
I can take this job!
But I would lose money just by selling the designs, so I would like to discuss a profit sharing model.
But now it is the 1970s, and the dividend model is too trendy. Can they accept it?
She decided to communicate with Mrs. Zhao first to see her attitude.
"Sister Zhao, I have an idea. I wonder if you can accept it. I don't want to just sell the design draft. I want to adopt a dividend distribution model. In other words, based on the sales of the products produced by the clothing factory using my design, I will get a certain percentage of the profit."
Mrs. Zhao was slightly stunned.
This concept is indeed unfamiliar to her.
"Sister Lin, please tell me in detail."
Lin Anan took out a pen and paper, leaned over the coffee table, and simply presented it in words, "I can provide you with three to four new models every quarter, from design to size, from color to pattern... You just need to produce according to my design draft.
You don't need to pay me for the article, but you have to give me a portion of the profit from your total sales, which can be regarded as dividends for my technology.
Of course, I am very confident in my design, and I can promise that if the sales are not good, I will not take a cent.”
Sister Zhao opened her mouth and said, "This idea is novel. We have indeed never come across it before. However, I think it makes sense and we can talk about it.
I need to go back to the factory to discuss the specific share ratio. Moreover, the production and sales situation of our clothing factory is quite complicated, and many factors need to be considered. "
Lin Anan nodded and said, "Sister Zhao, I understand your concerns. I also know that this is not a trivial matter and requires both of us to consider it carefully.
How about this? We can first draw up a preliminary cooperation plan, clearly stating the profit sharing ratio, design delivery time, product quality requirements, etc. Then, you can take it back and discuss it with the leaders of the factory. "
"become."
Lin Anan acts quickly and does what she says.
She was very careful with the contracts. At this moment, she would not allow any private business, let alone any private cooperation with manufacturers, as those were all bad elements.
So the technology she wrote paid dividends.
At the same time, she also needs a position for an external designer.
"This is a vacant position. I don't need to be paid. Is that okay with you?"
Mrs. Zhao looked at what Lin Anan wrote and thought about it carefully. She felt that although this plan was novel, it was indeed feasible. Moreover, the position of external designer proposed by Lin Anan also made her feel that it was more reasonable.
"Sister Lin, your idea of hiring an external designer is a good one. It not only complies with regulations, but also allows you to legitimately participate in the design work of our bedding factory." Sister Zhao said.
"Okay, Sister Zhao, my idea is very simple. Everything must comply with the regulations. It is an honor for us as military wives to be able to contribute to the military unit."
Aunt Luo watched the two of them finish their discussion and said with a smile, "Oh, I think this has a future. An An is so capable. Your clothing factory will definitely be able to move to a higher level with her designs."
Sister Zhao also laughed. "I am also looking forward to working with Sister Lin. Sister Lin, please give me this preliminary plan first. I will take it back and discuss it with the leaders of the factory. I will inform you when there is a result."
Lin Anan nodded. "Well, sister-in-law, come to my house again tomorrow. I'll give you three design drafts, and you can take them back and discuss them together."
“That’s a good feeling.”
The two of them have settled it.
Sister Zhao and Aunt Luo stood up to say goodbye, and Lin Anan saw them off to the door.
After seeing them off, Lin Anan returned to the house and began to get excited...
"If this works, I can just lie down and grow!"
