Chapter 239 Clothing Factory
Monday morning.
Lin Anan had just finished breakfast when Sister Zhao came to invite people.
He said that the factory manager had personally looked at the design draft and was very satisfied with it and wanted to discuss it in person.
"Okay, sister-in-law, wait for me for a moment."
Lin Anan was well prepared. When she got up, she was almost done. She just needed to re-tie her hair and was ready to go out.
The military clothing factory is some distance away from the military compound, and it takes about twenty minutes to get there by bus.
"Comrade Lin, we're here."
The bus stopped at the intersection, and Mrs. Zhao led Lin Anan to the factory gate.
The first thing that catches your eye is a slightly old but well-organized factory scene, with several rows of bungalows scattered around in an orderly manner, and the walls painted in monotonous gray and white paint.
It was just time to go to work, and the workers were all rushing to the factory. Many of those who passed by Mrs. Zhao stopped to say hello.
Walking into the factory, the main road is a compacted dirt road that leads directly to each workshop.
It was the first time for Lin Anan to step into a factory of this era, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.
When passing by the workshop, you can see rows of sewing machines placed in the workshop, the machine heads are shiny, and the belts are buzzing when the machines are running.
The workers were either concentrating on their sewing machines or bending over to sew the corners of clothes and quilts by hand. Their fingers were nimble and skillful, and their expressions were serious.
The office building is located at the rear of the factory. It is a small two-story building. Compared with other buildings, it is slightly more imposing. The offices in the building are simply decorated, with dark wooden desks and chairs. Some rules and regulations and production schedules are hung on the wall.
"Comrade Lin, this way."
When I arrived at the factory director's office, the people inside had been waiting for a long time.
It turned out to be a female factory manager!
Sister Zhao introduced the two of them:
"Director Yu, this is Comrade Lin, Lin Anan."
"Comrade Lin, this is our factory director, Yu Ying."
When Director Yu saw Lin Anan coming in, he immediately stood up, extended his hand politely and said, "Comrade Lin, you are so young, you are worthy of being a college student, you are different."
Her familiar appearance actually scared Lin Anan.
Lin Anan hurriedly shook Director Yu's hand and responded modestly: "Director Yu, nice to meet you."
Director Yu has neat short hair and wears a military uniform. He has an upright posture, bright and sharp eyes, and exudes a heroic spirit.
She enthusiastically took Lin Anan's hand and moved to the sofa. "Comrade Lin, come and sit down. I have been looking forward to having a good chat with you these days. As soon as you sent me the design draft, I knew that our factory would usher in a new look!"
Lin Anan was infected by her enthusiasm. She was a little reserved at first, but now she relaxed a lot. She sat down with a smile and said, "Director Yu, thank you for your praise. I also want to do something for the factory and contribute my heart and soul."
Director Yu smiled and nodded, then sat down at his desk, leaned forward, and looked at Lin An'an with sharp eyes, "Comrade Lin, to be honest with you, although our factory has been operating smoothly, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and customer demands are becoming more and more diverse. If we don't innovate, we will be eliminated sooner or later.
Your design, whether it is the uniqueness of the style or the clever use of fabrics, gives me great hope. However, there are still many links in the process of turning it from a blueprint on paper into a real product on the shelf. "
Lin Anan sat up straight, "Director Yu, I understand. When I was conceiving the design, I actually also considered some practical issues of subsequent production.
Take the fabrics and production techniques for example, they are diverse, most of which can be done with a sewing machine, but some special decorations and splicing still rely on the exquisite craftsmanship of the masters and fine manual processing..."
Lin Anan is like this. She either does it or doesn’t do it, and she does things carefully.
When it comes to talking about design and products, she will explain everything she knows clearly without any exaggeration.
When planning something, be sincere.
Director Yu's eyes were full of praise, "And the external positions you mentioned and the profit-sharing dividends, I think it's feasible."
In the 1970s, individual profit-making activities were strictly prohibited, and everything revolved around the needs of the collective and the country.
Lin Anan's approach is actually a bit borderline, and Director Yu was quite far-sighted to agree to this matter.
"The market is constantly improving. Traditional styles will gradually lose their appeal in the market. What bedding factories need is innovation. I am confident that with my design ability, I can open up a new path for the factory.
Giving me this position of external designer allows me to participate in it legitimately. I provide manuscripts on a quarterly basis, which can ensure that there is a continuous injection of fresh blood into the factory.
As for profit sharing, it is equivalent to paying for the use of intellectual property rights. It is a recognition of my efforts and an incentive that can motivate me to continuously refine my designs and produce better works. I believe that the ultimate beneficiary is the entire bedding factory and the collective.”
After a long while, Director Yu raised his head, and the matter was finalized. "Comrade Lin, now is indeed a critical juncture for change. Our factory needs to boldly try new things. I agree with your proposal."
Lin Anan never expected that it would be so smooth.
"Thank you so much, Director Yu! Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Director Yu took out a contract from the drawer. He had revised it based on the draft provided by Lin Anan and added a lot of clauses. "Comrade Lin, take a look at the contract first."
"OK."
Lin Anan took the contract with both hands, trembling slightly. These few thin pages of paper carried a lot of weight.
She read it carefully word by word and saw that the contract listed in detail the rights and obligations of both parties, from the delivery time and quality standards of the design draft to the profit sharing ratio of the product, as well as confidentiality clauses and so on.
Director Yu explained, "Comrade Lin, this contract was drafted by several factory leaders and me, and it is partly to protect your rights.
On the other hand, it is also to ensure the normal operation of the factory. After all, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and we have to be cautious at every step. If you have any questions or think that there is a need for adjustment, please feel free to raise them. "
Lin Anan nodded, "I took a rough look and there is no problem. The profit sharing ratio is also reasonable."
The clothing factory offered a profit dividend of three percent.
That is to say, for every 100 yuan profit, Lin Anan can get 3 yuan.
"This is recognition of your design achievements. It's yours, not a cent less. If our factory wants to develop in the long run, we have to retain talents. You are our key talent."
This person can talk, he is different.
Lin Anan felt comfortable after hearing all these polite words.
After the contract was signed, Lin Anan sat for a while and then prepared to leave.
"By the way, I'll ask Director Zhao to give you the employee certificate when the time comes."
"Okay."
