Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Part 2
Capital University Machinery Factory quickly contacted the exhibitors. It is said that they finally managed to secure a spot with the exhibitors, and then went through several departments before finally contacting the Canton Fair exhibition working group.
The deputy factory manager in charge of sales personally flew to Guangzhou with a sample and persuaded the working group to obtain permission to participate in the exhibition.
Therefore, Shen Shaoyuan, who originally planned to draw only three samples, was kept for a few more days. After much persuasion from the factory, he finally worked for a week and drew a total of five samples.
There was no awareness of intellectual property rights in those days, and everyone was contributing to socialist construction. However, the Capital Machinery Factory still gave Shen Shaoyuan a generous labor fee and two electric fans as a gift.
One is an ordinary electric fan, and the other was chosen by Shen Shaoyuan himself. There are several kittens of different shapes carefully painted on the blades, and the base is green grass, which is very childlike. This was specially painted by Shen Shaoyuan for his little granddaughter.
The machinery factory originally wanted Shen Shaoyuan to paint a sample like this, but Shen Shaoyuan refused to agree, saying that he wanted to leave a unique one for his granddaughter, so that they could paint it themselves. The machinery factory had no choice but to let the painter paint a copycat one, and didn't learn much of the spirit, but as long as it couldn't be compared with Shen Shaoyuan's painting, it was okay.
The family had been busy for a week. On Saturday afternoon, Shen Moer and Fu Mingze only had one class, so they went to Yongning Hutong together to pick up their daughter.
When the little guy saw his parents, his first reaction was to pout and snort and turn his head away. This aggrieved and angry expression made Shen Moer laugh, and she said with a smile: "Does our little Liangliang not want to go back to Sigu Lane? Then why don't mom and dad go back?"
The little guy was born precocious and could already understand some of the words. Upon hearing the words, he immediately turned around and stretched out his little hands for a hug: "Oh, mom, hug me!"
After not paying much attention for a week, Shen Moer suddenly discovered that her daughter's language ability seemed to have improved again.
But it's normal. When they were in Sigu Lane, Shen Shaoyuan spent most of the time talking to the little one. It's different here. Great-grandfather and great-grandmother are around her all day long. As long as she is awake, they can chat with her all day long, not to mention grandpa, grandma and little uncle.
Language itself is a process of learning and training. The more you listen and speak, the more obvious your progress will be.
The old lady looked at her great-granddaughter and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you have dinner before going back?"
Shen Moer glanced at the old lady who was staring at her with eager eyes, then glanced at the old man who was pretending to be indifferent but was actually watching his great-granddaughter, and said with a smile: "Okay, the weather is not that cold anymore, so it won't be a big deal to go back a little later."
After having dinner at Yongning Hutong and returning to Sigu Lane, Shen Shaoyuan ran over to take a look at his little granddaughter who was already asleep on the road, and then said to Shen Moer: "In the afternoon, the old lady of the Wang family in the yard in front brought her daughter over, carrying six gifts, saying that they were thanking you."
Shen Shaoyuan knew about what happened that day. They just helped someone out when they saw injustice, so they didn't take it seriously. They didn't expect that the other party would come to their house and give gifts half a month later, and the gifts were very generous.
"He said he was going on a business trip the next day and just came back yesterday."
Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "Dad, can you give the old lady some return gifts later?"
If she doesn't show up, it will just be considered a greeting between neighbors.
Shen Shaoyuan waved his hand: "I know, you should go to bed early."
After getting up the next day, Shen Moer took her daughter to the garment factory.
The production tasks that Shen Moer has currently assigned to the garment factory are not heavy, mainly because of the shortage of raw materials.
At the beginning of the year, the state divided the original light industry sector into the Ministry of Textile Industry and the Ministry of Light Industry. The textile industry began to implement "transformation", textile enterprises expanded and upgraded, and production capacity was significantly improved. However, the time was still short and it was not enough to change the reality of domestic fabric shortage.
Shen Moli obtained some cloth through her friend at the Capital's No. 1 Textile Factory.
The capital's No. 1 textile manufacturer is large and has a huge business. It exceeds its production targets almost every year. The part that exceeds the production targets can be appropriately allocated to production companies in need.
Of course, if Shen Moer hadn’t known the head of their sales department, it would have been almost impossible for a social enterprise like Huacai to transfer fabrics from the Capital’s No. 1 Textile Factory.
It was impossible to get a lot of fabric, which was one of the reasons why Shen Moli did not hold a grand ceremony and only set up a "small workshop".
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without cloth, no matter how many ideas she has, she cannot put them into practice.
Having said that, because the production task is not heavy and slow work produces fine work, the quality of the braids produced by the garment factory during this period is very good, and every detail is perfect.
After Shen Moer looked at the ready-made clothes in the warehouse, she walked out of the warehouse with Xiao Liangliang, who was looking around curiously, and asked as she walked: "Are there any difficulties in life?"
Bai Junwen has a very gentle appearance. He always slightly averts his eyes when speaking, and his voice is not loud: "No problem."
It was a problem that Zhao Zhenghui's food was not tasty, but Bai Junwen thought it was nothing. They had lived through hard times, and it was good enough to have enough food every day.
He did have one question, though: "Are we always going to make this one style?"
During breaks, Bai Junwen also went to various department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives to check out. The styles of ready-made clothes in the capital were much richer than those in Jiangbei County. Although the braid they produced was indeed beautiful, Bai Junwen was also worried that he would not be able to sell it in the capital.
They are social enterprises from other places, and the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the capital may not be willing to sell their products, especially since they do not have many styles.
When Bai Junwen first worked at the Lingjiang Embroidery Factory, he was solely responsible for production. He started out as an embroiderer, then a painter, and later a manager of painters. He basically just wandered around the workshop, and he had little understanding of purchasing and sales work.
Shen Moer explained to him: "Our production capacity is limited. If we produce too many styles, and each style only has a few hundred pieces of ready-made clothes, by the time the goods on hand are sold out, there will be no time to produce new goods, and the market will be taken away by other companies."
It would be much easier for other factories to copy and produce the same style of bragi.
Bai Junwen nodded. He really didn't understand much about this, but he believed in Director Shen's judgment.
"Emphasis the management discipline with the workers, and the styles must not be leaked out." Shen Moer said with a smile, "As for purchasing and sales, Director Bai, you don't have to worry about it. I have found an assistant for you."
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Liu Yinshuang walked in quickly, saying as she walked, "I'm not Bai Junwen's assistant. I want to be the deputy director in the future, Bai Junwen, don't you agree?"
Bai Junwen blinked and nodded: "Yes, Comrade Liu can definitely do it."
Shen Moer glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, then one of you will be in charge of production and the other will be in charge of supply and marketing."
Liu Yinshuang chatted with Xiao Liangliang for a while, then said, "Come on, Bai Junwen, take me to see the finished braid. Director Shen, when the weather gets hot, let's each wear one first, right? This is free advertising."
"Okay, you guys discuss it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Moer carried her daughter out for a walk, then sent her home, and then went to the machinery factory with her bag on her back.
When we arrived at the machinery factory, Jin Gui and his colleagues had already taken out the samples.
They are called samples, but they are not the ones painted by Shen Shaoyuan. They are repainted by the painter according to Shen Shaoyuan's sample. From the perspective of paint craftsmanship, they are much better than the ones painted by Shen Shaoyuan. However, Shen Shaoyuan's paintings are more lively.
The machinery factory has decided to send the machines painted by Shen Shaoyuan to Guangzhou as well.
The samples that Jingui and his colleagues received were already packaged, and the factory also provided them with a pedal tricycle. Lei Zheng, the only native of the capital, was naturally responsible for riding the tricycle to transport the goods. Jingui went with him so that they could change handlebars on the road.
Shen Moer, Wu Yanan and Guan Qianqian took the bus together.
The seats on the bus were scattered, and Wu Yanan and Shen Moer sat in the front and back rows. Only then did Wu Yanan quietly tell Shen Moer about Guan Qianqian.
Zhang Jiaojiao was very pessimistic about the work of their group. After she went back last time, she found an excuse to ask for leave from the machinery factory and never showed up again. And this time, no one knew how she and Guan Qianqian discussed it, but they both went to the department to change groups, so now Guan Qianqian is in the same group with them.
Shen Moer was usually busy and spent little time in school, so she really didn't know about these things before.
Wu Yanan whispered, "Guan Qianqian asked me several times. I thought she was just curious, so I told her about the modification of the electric fan. I also told her that our electric fans would definitely sell well."
Wu Yan's personality is a bit soft and shy, but he was admitted to Capital University, so he is not stupid. When Guan Qianqian told her that she was transferred to their group that day, she came to her senses.
It turned out that Guan Qianqian had been asking her about the machinery factory in order to get information.
I just don’t know if Zhang Jiaojiao will regret it if their group achieves good results in the future.
Shen Moer: "How they argue is their business, just don't get involved. If Zhang Jiaojiao asks you later, just say you know nothing."
To put it nicely, Guan Qianqian's personality is that she is good at judging the situation; to put it bluntly, she is good at taking shortcuts.
Among the eight people in the dormitory, Guan Qianqian and Lin Yiqing have the best relationship.
Lin Yiqing is a native of the capital. She comes from a wealthy family and is generous with her money, but she lacks emotional intelligence when speaking and can be a bit aggressive at times.
No matter what Lin Yiqing said, Guan Qianqian always had a smiling face. Lin Yiqing was so coaxed by her that she would take the initiative to pay for her to eat out at famous restaurants in the capital every weekend.
But we can't say that Guan Qianqian is wrong. When Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. As long as it doesn't affect others, there is nothing to say.
However, based on Shen Moer's understanding of Zhang Jiaojiao, she is not the kind of person who would swallow her anger after suffering a loss. There will probably be more to argue about this matter between them later.
If Wu Yanan, an honest person, were to be involved in the lawsuit between these two people, he would most likely suffer losses.
Wu Yanan nodded seriously: "I will definitely not care about them."
When they arrived at the department store, Lei Zheng and Jingui had not arrived yet, so Shen Moer and the others waited at the door for a while. About ten minutes later, the two men came over on a tricycle.
Lei Zheng, who was pedaling a tricycle, was sweating all over his forehead. He said speechlessly: "This guy said he wanted to exchange handlebars with me, but he didn't dare to do it when there were a few more people on the road. I rode most of the way by myself, and I had to carry him, a kid weighing more than 100 pounds!"
"I might as well ride it by myself!"
Jingui was ashamed: "It's not that I'm not used to riding a tricycle, and there are indeed a lot of people on the streets of the capital."
He used to ride his bike from the village to the commune, or to the county town. Their county was really small, with only one main street, and he could get out of it by pedaling.
It's not like the capital city which is well connected. When you reach an intersection, you may see people or bicycles coming from any direction, and sometimes even cars.
When he saw such a big road, so many people and cars, he became very nervous.
Lei Zheng waved his hand: "Fortunately it's not far away, otherwise I really can't do it."
Seeing him panting, Shen Moer couldn't help but say, "Come on, let's ride together on the way back. I'll ride and you show me the way."
Lei Zheng shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, that won't work. How can I let a lesbian ride a bike when there's a man here? If people I know see me sitting behind a lesbian's bike, I'll be laughed at to death."
This is the disadvantage of being a local. When going out to do something, they are afraid of being seen by acquaintances.
Shen Moer didn't argue with him. She would go back and ride the bike to find out whether it was a man or a lesbian who could ride a bike.
They had contacted the purchasing department of the department store in advance and rode their tricycles into the yard behind the department store. A deputy section chief named Li from the purchasing department went directly downstairs to the yard to look at the samples.
When the package was unpacked, Deputy Section Chief Li was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Is this an electric fan, the one you use at home?"
Shen Moer didn't say anything, but gave the others a look, signaling them to explain.
Wu Yanan and Jingui blushed, looking like they wanted to speak but were too embarrassed to do so.
Guan Qianqian wanted to stretch her head, but the problem was that this was her first time to participate in the work of this group. She had only heard Wu Yanan talk about the situation in general and had no idea about the details.
It was Lei Zheng, the local boss, who spoke first: "Yes, this is the electric fan. This batch of products was made by the seniors of our school. The motor is of very good quality, with good stability, strong wind force and low noise. There is absolutely no problem with the performance. As you can see from the appearance, it is completely different from the electric fans sold on the market. Our electric fan is called, it's called something, it combines practicality and artistry!"
She learned all these words of speech from Shen Moer. This is what she said when she persuaded the machinery factory to send electric fans to the Canton Fair.
Lei Zheng had a good memory and learned most of what he learned.
Deputy Section Chief Li: "...You said before that this batch is defective and does not require industrial invoices?"
Jingui finally mustered up the courage to say, "Yes, there are some minor flaws on the exterior, but it does not affect the use. The quality of our batch of electric fans is very good."
Deputy Section Chief Li stared at the fans for a few seconds and asked, "...Is there a small flaw in the appearance?"
To be honest, he couldn't tell.
He just noticed that these fans, although fancy, were indeed quite nice looking.
Wu Yanan finally found an opportunity to interrupt: "There is a defect. Look carefully, isn't this fan blade different from the other ones? And this one, it's crooked. It was even crooked before. The master in the car fixed it."
Deputy Section Chief Li: “…”
Although he graduated from a prestigious university, he is really honest in doing business.
Guan Qianqian almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, and quickly interrupted, "They are all insignificant flaws, but these appearance flaws have been covered up by the paint on it. You didn't notice it just now, right? I think not only did you not notice it, but you even thought this electric fan was pretty good, right? If you think so, the citizens who come to buy things must think so too. Our electric fan is of high quality, has a very special appearance, and doesn't require an industrial ticket. It's no wonder that it will be popular with everyone."
Shen Moer glanced at Guan Qianqian.
So everyone has their own strengths. Guan Qianqian has a somewhat utilitarian personality, but the other side of this personality is that she has a high emotional intelligence, is good at reading people's expressions, speaking, and has strong communication skills.
When she said the same words, their electric fans only had advantages.
Deputy Section Chief Li was obviously persuaded as well. He nodded and said, "It's good."
Obviously there is a next sentence.
Sure enough, after a few seconds of pausing, he said with embarrassment: "If what you sell is an ordinary electric fan, I can decide to purchase it, but yours is a defective product, and the appearance is so special, it's really hard for me to decide."
He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you wait here for a while, I'll go up and call our section chief down."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people suddenly walked out of the building. One of them saw them and shouted, "Student Shen?"
Shen Moer turned around and saw Wang Liya, who was surrounded by people, and nodded with a smile: “Comrade Wang.”
Wang Liya came over and saw the electric fans on the tricycle: "Is this the defective electric fans from the Capital University Machinery Factory? Your father is being modest."
Seeing Shen Moer's puzzled expression, she explained, "I saw your electric fan when I went to your house the other day. It was full of childishness, and the kittens were painted vividly. Your father said it was an extracurricular homework for you, and he drew it casually."
"These are also very beautiful. If this is just a casual painting, I don't know what a serious painting would look like."
Whether it was out of politeness or sincerity, Wang Liya spoke so highly of these electric fans, and Shen Moer was very happy: “I thank you on behalf of my father. Although he is humble in his words, he must be very happy to hear someone praise him so much.”
Wang Liya laughed and turned to ask Deputy Section Chief Li: "Has this batch of goods been finalized?"
Those who can do purchasing and sales are all shrewd people. Deputy Section Chief Li saw that the manager and his Capital University classmates seemed to be familiar with each other and spoke highly of the electric fan, so he said hurriedly: "We are discussing it and will order it soon. It's just right to put it out before May Day."
Wang Liya nodded. "They don't need industrial invoices for this batch of defective products. The quantity is small and they will probably be sold out soon. I heard that their factory is preparing to send samples to Guangzhou to participate in the Canton Fair. There won't be many products circulating on the market later. You can contact their sales department and order some."
Deputy Section Chief Li then realized that although the manager discovered this product by accident, he actually already knew all the details.
How else could a young lesbian be the manager of the largest department store in the capital?
After Wang Liya led the other people away, Deputy Section Chief Li looked at Shen Moer dimly: "My classmate, you said you have connections like Manager Wang, why do you have to argue with me for so long?"
Shen Moer: “…”
To be honest, she actually just found out that she had connections in the department store.
