The previous owner had already sold the equipment in the factory and had it taken away. It needed some simple renovations and new equipment. Fortunately, there were many textile factories in the county where my second aunt lived. Wang Yitong planned to look there for suitable machinery. She had no plans to buy a factory there because it was too far away and difficult to manage. She also wanted to start hiring again.
Wang Yitong also contacted Wu Meili and asked her to help recommend a suitable person to be in charge of the company's personnel. Originally, she wanted to poach her, but she didn't want to live too far away. Finally, Wu Meili recommended a friend in her human resources group, Dai Xizhen, who was transferred back to work after becoming pregnant. The factory originally made shoes. Wang Yitong kept the previous deputy factory director, who was in his 40s and had worked his way up from grassroots positions to deputy factory director, Ye Guotao. He had no problem managing production. This person retired from the army and had been working in the factory. If it weren't for the boss's gambling, this factory could actually support all the employees.
Wang Yitong also raised the salary of the factory director Ye Guotao and promised that if the garment factory got on track and started to make profits in the first year, Wang Yitong would give him 5% of the shares. If the garment factory could survive and profits continued to grow after three years, he would give him another 5%. Employees in the sales and production departments who were willing to stay would also be re-screened and new contracts would be signed.
Finally, they hired new fashion designers, pattern makers, buyers, sample makers, and marketing staff. During her internship, Wang Yitong specifically asked her cousin Wen Tian to work as an accountant at another company, allowing her to learn from her mentor. After receiving her diploma, she asked her cousin to come to her company to help out. At the same time, Wang Yitong also hired a new finance manager and had Tian Tian learn from her.
Wang Yitong is the legal representative of the company. All the recruited employees work together. Among them, Wang Yitong, a fashion designer, accepted an alumnus recommended by a high school classmate. Of course, this person only has a college degree, but Wang Yitong thinks the clothing samples he designed are very stylish and practical.
Another person is Lu Sha, a 35-year-old who returned to Chengdu from Guangzhou to work. Divorced with children, she had been rejected by some employers because they thought she couldn't balance work and life. Wang Yitong, impressed by her experience and abilities, hired her as a design manager.
During the recruitment process, Wang Yitong told her, "Our company is very user-friendly. You can bring your children to work as long as it doesn't affect other colleagues. Although our Taobao store is doing well, this is our first time working as a fashion design company. We can't offer you the high salaries we get in Guangzhou, but we will provide all the benefits you need."
Lu Sha eventually went to Wang Yitong's company. She had previously read about Wang Yitong's Taobao store and knew the owner was very creative, with everything from pictures to videos being ahead of other stores. She had great confidence in him. Furthermore, the company was very tolerant and didn't mind her bringing her two-year-old child.
Zhang Yan is now not only a model but also a member of the publicity team, earning a double salary, which makes her very happy. She can now work part-time at school and now has a formal job, which is enough to pay for her younger siblings' tuition. Most importantly, her boss is a woman, so she doesn't have to worry about workplace harassment, which makes her work very hard.
In addition to veteran employees Li Xiang from the art team and Wang Li from the customer service team, at the suggestion of HR representative Xizhen, they also contacted teachers at the Textile College and secured an agreement for their students to come and intern. This reduced labor costs, and the new hires were diligent and obedient. While some of the workers who had previously performed diligently were retained, the remaining disabled individuals were hired as porters, delivery personnel, and security guards. These individuals did not affect their work, and Wang Yitong was willing to respect and provide them with employment opportunities.
Two new photographers were hired: one a part-time student, the other a woman with experience shooting print ads. Four Taobao customer service staff, four full-time employees in the after-sales team, two people in the advertising design team, and two part-time packers and shippers were hired. Adding in the remaining employees, Wang Yitong now manages dozens of employees.
The former factory owner sold the production equipment and packed up the office desks, chairs and computers and gave them to Wang Yitong.
The factory only needed a simple paint job. In addition, Wang Yitong also ordered roses, gardenias, yellow horn orchids, and osmanthus flowers from the flower market and planted them. The factory suddenly looked brand new and full of vitality.
The first floor was transformed into three areas: warehouse, production room, and canteen. The second floor is the area for the design department, clothing department, dressing room, etc. The third floor is the office and reception area.
Even the production equipment was secondhand, though fortunately, it was 70% new. After all the staff had arrived and officially started their posts, Wang Yitong, Chen Yin, and Deputy Factory Manager Ye Guotao held their first meeting. They renamed the factory Yunshang Zhimeng Garment Co., Ltd., focusing on clothing design, production, and sales.
The direction of the company's brand development:
1. Baby Gem, a brand of infant and children's clothing, focuses on cuteness and comfort.
2.Classy is mainly about high-end women's clothing for adults and elegant men's clothing.
3. Yunshang Dreamweaver brand as a national style series.
Wang Yitong also instructed the Human Resources Department to quickly find someone to handle the company registration and brand trademark registration. The registered capital was 6 million yuan, with an actual investment of 1 million yuan as start-up capital for the garment factory. The factory's property rights were privately owned by Wang Yitong, who signed a contract with the garment factory to lease it for market rent. Wang Yitong's newly hired financial manager was 37-year-old Zhong Yunyan, whose husband was in the military and whose parents were teachers, resulting in a simple family relationship. Wen Tian served as financial assistant and also served as a supervisor, while her mother, Chen Yin, oversaw the purchasing department.
At the same time, Wang Yitong also worked on the maintenance of Weibo, blogs, forums, Tieba, and QQ groups. This work was delegated to Zhang Yan. The two clothing brands asked the company's marketing staff to promote the products on various platforms.
