Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Part 2 (Revised)
It is called a garment factory, but actually it is just a small workshop. The four locals from the capital were actually very nervous. They always felt that this small workshop might go bankrupt at any time and they didn't know whether they could get the wages after finishing their work.
Although Director Shen said that their first batch of employees were all regular workers and enjoyed the same treatment as workers in state-owned factories.
But they always feel that they are just here to do odd jobs in a small workshop.
Two smart people have secretly got together to discuss and plan to look around for job vacancies during the weekend.
"Okay, let's go back to the workshop and check the sewing machines and make some preparations before we start working." Shen Moer said, "Bai Junwen and Zhao Zhenghui, come with me."
The only two male employees, one Zhao Zhenghui, actually came here on his own, and the other Bai Junwen was invited by Shen Moer herself.
Bai Junwen first entered the embroidery factory after taking the embroidery examination. He was the only male comrade who passed the examination. After entering the embroidery factory, Shen Moer found that he was secretly learning to draw embroidery pictures in his spare time, so she gave him some of her teaching plans at that time. Perhaps because he was really talented in this area, Bai Junwen learned very quickly, and now he is one of the best painters in Lingjiang City Embroidery Factory.
In fact, during the years at the embroidery factory, Shen Moer often discussed things other than embroidery patterns with him, such as clothing.
Bo Junwen was very interested in the fashion magazines that Paul sent to Shen Moli, and even designed a few clothes privately.
Shen Moer had seen the clothing drawings he had drawn. He must have learned from the master craftsman in the factory's garment workshop. The drawings were very detailed and fully met the needs of the garment workshop. However, the clothes he designed had no market in China before.
But starting this year, the domestic situation will undergo earth-shaking changes, and similarly, the changes in clothing will certainly become more and more dramatic.
Of course, Bai Junwen has become the department director in Lingjiang City Embroidery Factory. He gave up everything in Jiangbei and came to the capital, not just to turn his design drawings into reality.
There are some reasons that Shen Moer knows but Bai Junwen thinks she doesn't know.
"Our target customers are young, fashionable and well-off lesbians who love beauty and are easily receptive to new things. They are also easily receptive to our pricing."
Shen Moer stood in front of a huge custom-made operating table and said with a smile: "So the first product I chose is Bragi. Traditionally, skirts are always a little more Western-style. Our skirt is going to be a little more Western-style on top of being a little more Western-style."
As Shen Moer spoke, she took the tailor's scissors and cut the cloth on the workbench. Her movements were smooth and skillful. With a stroke of chalk and a measurement with a ruler, the cloth was cut neatly.
"Our factory is currently short of staff. Junwen, you can take on the cloth cutting job first, and leave the other work to Zhao Zhenghui." Shen Moer said after cutting the first piece of cloth.
There were only ten female workers and ten sewing machines in total, and the fabrics needed to be cut were not a lot of work.
Bai Junwen nodded and took the tailor’s scissors: “Don’t worry, Director Shen, leave it to me.”
Shen Moer: "Once the first batch of goods is sold, we will immediately recruit people."
Bai Junwen is not a talkative person. After taking the sewing scissors, he started to work.
Shen Moer winked at Zhao Zhenghui, and the two walked to the side. Shen Moer said, "You help Director Bai and take care of the logistics and security. If there is anything, contact me in time."
Zhao Zhenghui: "Okay."
Zhao Zhenghui sent the cut cloth to the "workshop" divided into two parts in the room. Soon, the sound of sewing machines could be heard in the workshop.
After arranging everything, Shen Moer left.
Standing outside the yard and looking back, Shen Moer couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. It was indeed a bit shabby, and looked like a makeshift troupe.
But there was no way. She had the money to buy land and build a factory, but the problem was that the policy did not allow it.
Let's just start with a makeshift team, maybe we can upgrade our weapons to better ones someday.
The garment factory here is starting to get on track, and the part-time internship application at the school-run enterprise over there has also been approved.
The school currently has three school-run enterprises. All the registered students in the Political Economics Class 1 were divided into three enterprises, and Shen Moli was assigned to the Capital University Machinery Factory.
Since they studied economics, it was naturally impossible for them to be assigned to the workshop. All five of them were crammed into the sales department.
On the day of registration, Chief Chen of the Sales Department of Capital University Machinery Factory personally received them, took them around the workshop, and gave them some mobilization after returning to the office:
"You are all top students from the most prestigious institutions of learning. You are the first batch of students to enter Capital University after the resumption of the college entrance examination. You are the best among five or six million people. You are all excellent talents. I have read your application forms. Many of you have very impressive resumes. I believe that your joining will definitely take the work of our Capital University Machinery Factory Sales Department to a higher level in all aspects!"
Not long ago, we were still painting big rosy pictures for the workers in garment factories, but now we have to listen to others painting big rosy pictures for us.
Shen Moer took the lead in applauding with mixed feelings.
"The factory recently produced a batch of tabletop fans. It's early April now, and in a month or two it will be the peak sales season for electric fans. This batch of products is outside the production plan, and, uh."
After a subtle pause, Section Chief Chen continued, "Moreover, this batch of products has some defects. We have contacted the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative before, but they all declined, saying that selling defective products together with qualified products would disrupt their sales plans. Now this batch of goods is still in the warehouse. Everyone, take a look and see if there is any good way to deal with it?"
Shen Moer immediately understood what Section Chief Chen meant.
Most of these defective products were made by students of Capital University. The defects may be obvious, or there may be obvious defects when they are used.
Department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are naturally reluctant to sell this kind of product because it is too shameful.
Moreover, they had no sales tasks for the unplanned products, so they had a clear reason to refuse.
For the Capital University Machinery Factory, these things are actually homework for students. They may not be done very well, but they cost real money and materials, so they can't just throw them away, right?
Every bit we can sell helps, it helps to recover some of the costs.
Just as Shen Moer guessed, Section Chief Chen really thought so.
On one side are defective homework assignments made by students, and on the other side are students of economics who come here for part-time internship. It's just right to let the students sell their own stuff. If they can be sold, they will make money. If they can't be sold, the economics students can gain valuable work experience. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Section Chief Chen thought he was really smart.
Several people in the Political Economy class looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Chief Chen, can you let us take a look at the condition of this electric fan?" Shen Moer asked.
"Okay, okay, I've put two here, you can take a look."
Section Chief Chen readily went to the cabinet and took out two electric fans.
When Shen Moer saw the two electric fans, the corners of her mouth twitched.
In fact, just by looking at the appearance, you can see the problems with these two electric fans.
The mesh ring on the outer cover of one fan was crooked, and the shape of the blades of one fan was not right.
To be honest, it is completely understandable that department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are unwilling to sell.
Not to mention that department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are unwilling to sell it, even among ordinary consumers, Shen Moer feels that the number of people willing to spend money to buy such a crooked electric fan should be very small.
After all, buying an electric fan requires not only money, but also industrial coupons.
Who would be willing to spend the industrial coupons they have finally saved up to buy these shabby things?
Shen Moer couldn't help but ask: "Chief Chen, do you need an industrial ticket to buy these electric fans?"
Section Chief Chen hurriedly said, "No, no, these are unplanned products and we don't need industrial invoices." Even if he were to say it himself, he couldn't say that this batch of products required industrial invoices.
That's okay.
Shen Moer thought about it and said, "Then let's give it a try."
Section Chief Chen smiled happily: "You are indeed a top student in the Economics Department. This spirit of facing challenges and taking on heavy responsibilities is worth learning for every comrade in our Sales Department! Don't worry, just go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter whether you can sell it or not. What's important is to accumulate practical experience and lay a solid foundation for taking up important positions in the future. However, I am very optimistic about you. You will all be the pillars of the country's economic lifeline in the future. This difficulty will definitely not be a problem for you. Come on, students!"
Shen Moer: “…”
This Section Chief Chen is actually even better at making big promises and talking big than her.
Walking out of the sales director's office, Zhang Jiaojiao rolled her eyes: "Chen Moer, it's your business if you like to show off, but can you please not implicate others? Those electric fans are not defective at all, they are simply substandard products. No one would want such things even if they are cheap!"
Shen Moer glanced at her and said calmly: “Don’t think that others can’t do what you can’t do.”
Wu Yanan supported him without thinking, his voice was not loud, but his tone was firm: "That's right, you can't do it yourself, do you think the squad leader can't do it? I believe in the squad leader!"
Jingui also said: "Yes, I believe in the monitor too!"
The remaining boy looked at this and that, and spread his hands: "I don't care, we are here for a part-time internship anyway, so let's give it a try."
Zhang Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned red: "Whatever you want!"
