Although the domestic clothing market was just beginning to take off at that time, it was not easy to stand out in the fiercely competitive market in Guangzhou.
Yang Qingguo is responsible for the daily management and supply of goods to the garment factory, while Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi are responsible for sales and design.
These two tasks sound simple, but there are many links involved, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to do them well.
However, for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, this is not a difficult task because they have money!
Not enough money? There are assets that can be used as collateral to raise a considerable amount of funds, making many troublesome things simpler.
Recruiting talents, selecting store locations, designing blueprints... Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were busy as hell, and Yang Qingguo was not having an easy time either.
Previously, because the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, he had laid off most of his employees and sold some equipment and tools. Now that the garment factory has to start operating again, he has to buy back the employees and some equipment.
Ten days later, the equipment and necessary supplies were replenished, the employees who had been laid off returned one after another, and the employees who had found jobs but did not return also found new replacements.
Because Lin Xiangyi hasn't given them the blueprints yet, they haven't started work yet. Today they mainly cleaned the place and hung up the new sign.
"Boss, has our factory really been sold?" Although they have been recruited back, some employees still don't quite believe that anyone will really buy the factory.
Oh my God! Their factory is going to go bankrupt. No customers are willing to buy from them. Who would be willing to buy from them? Whoever buys will be a sucker and will lose money!
It is already very good to be able to transfer the equipment in the factory.
"You little bastard! I have already found you, and you still don't believe it?" Yang Qingguo was speechless. Is his factory so bad?
"Don't disbelieve me, I have been following the boss and watched him sell the factory. It is true," Su Fangsheng helped Yang Qingguo, "and our new bosses are a handsome man and a beautiful woman who are a perfect match."
"Manager Su, you even say that the old lady sweeping the street is beautiful. Do you think we can believe you?" someone joked.
Su Fangsheng chuckled: "I won't argue with you. You will meet them in person sooner or later anyway!"
"Okay, we'll wait!" everyone laughed.
"Okay, stop making noise and hang up the new sign quickly!" Yang Qingguo urged.
Lin Xiangyi has bought the garment factory, changed its name, and made a new sign. The sign has been completed and was just shipped back this morning.
Everyone carried the new sign to the door and prepared to hang it up.
"Tsk, Boss Yang, didn't you declare bankruptcy? What's the matter? Are you still unwilling to give up? Now change the sign and start over again?" When everyone was hanging up the new sign, a teasing voice sounded in their ears.
They turned around and saw that it was Jiang Gang, the owner of the clothing factory next door. Because they were right across the street and they were competitors, it was inevitable that the two sides would secretly compete with each other.
Both parties' clothing factories were established at about the same time. At the beginning, Yang Qingguo's clothing factory business was much better than Jiang Gang's, which led to Jiang Gang paying more attention to Yang Qingguo.
In order to compete for the market, Jiang Gang imitated and plagiarized Yang Qingguo's products, dumped them at low prices, and maliciously slandered Yang Qingguo's clothing. It can be said that Jiang Gang had a large part of the "contribution" to Yang Qingguo's bankruptcy.
When Yang Qingguo declared bankruptcy and laid off his employees some time ago, Jiang Gang ran over to comfort Yang Qingguo hypocritically.
Yang Qingguo didn't want to play along with Jiang Gang anymore, so he mocked Jiang Gang and completely broke their hypocritical friendship.
Jiang Gang held a grudge, and when he saw Yang Qingguo regrouping and preparing to open the business again, he hurried over to humiliate him.
"It's none of your business!" Yang Qingguo cursed.
"Oh, that's not right. You are indeed bankrupt." Jiang Gang seemed to have just remembered something and continued, "I heard that your factory has been sold. It's no longer yours!"
Yang Qingguo looked unhappy.
"But I don't understand," Jiang Gang pretended to be puzzled: "The boss who bought your factory is rich, but how could he be so blind? He actually bought your factory? And he even kept you to manage it! You have already bankrupted your factory, how can she still trust you so much?"
Seeing their boss being scolded by the boss of the rival company next door, Yang Qingguo's employees became a little restless.
Although Yang Qingguo did go bankrupt due to poor management, he was still a very good boss to them.
Even if he went bankrupt, he would still have to compensate his employees for their wages and shoulder huge debts.
This is also the reason why some laid-off employees chose to come back even though they had already found a job - it was simply because they recognized Yang Qingguo as a person!
"Our boss Yang is a thousand times more kind than you. The reason his business isn't doing well is only because our quality is better. Unlike you, you use those toxic materials just to make money! You are just a black businessman!" Su Fangsheng snorted.
Jiang Gang's business is very good, and he sells clothes cheaper than most of his competitors. Some consumers say that he is a truly good guy who sells at a loss.
But there is no such thing as a losing business.
Consumers want to save money, and Jiang Gang also wants to make money. He has such a big factory, and the water, electricity, and labor costs for daily operations, which one of them doesn’t require costs?
So in order to save costs, the materials he used are very cheap. For example, some textile fabrics contain excessive formaldehyde, and long-term exposure can cause great harm to the human body.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence," Jiang Gang said leisurely.
