Chapter 62 Lin Siqiao thinks she is going to make a fortune
"Personalized customization?"
Director Zhong is not unfamiliar with this term. Thirty years ago, there were many private custom tailor shops in Shanghai.
However, the current domestic environment does not allow this, and if we are not careful we will be accused of capitalist hedonism.
But these rules and regulations do not apply to foreign guests.
Director Zhong found what he heard interesting and motioned for Lin Siqiao to continue.
Lin Siqiao nodded and spoke very logically.
"Director, we have the best fabrics, the best craftsmen, and the most suitable designs for them."
“It can also showcase the beauty of oriental clothing to the greatest extent.”
"Then the price can naturally be set higher."
"People all have a mentality that cheap things are not good and good things are not cheap. The more you can't get something, the more you want it."
"Xiao Lin, that's absolutely true."
Director Zhong has been in charge of the Friendship Store for so many years. To be honest, there are some good things that he really doesn't want to sell. His heart bleeds if he sells them at that price!
But the country's foundation is weak at the moment, and the Friendship Stores have a very heavy burden.
If the price is set too low, I will be reluctant to sell it; if the price is set too high, I will not be able to sell it.
"Xiao Lin, your idea is good, but it is also very risky."
"I can apply to the higher-ups to give you three months, if your so-called private customization sales can reach the target within these three months."
"From now on, you will be in charge of the business in the ready-made clothing area and the custom-made area!"
"This task is extremely difficult. Do you dare to take it on?"
Lin Siqiao was afraid of everything. "Director, it's no problem for me to take this, but I have one condition?"
"Oh, tell me about it."
"I designed the clothes myself, so it should be okay for me to name them myself, right?"
Lin Siqiao has thought it all out. She wants to make money and also wants to establish her brand.
Although there was no concept of trademark law and brand patents in China at that time, these were things that happened after the 1980s.
But she can take this opportunity to increase her popularity.
Director Zhong would naturally not object to such a small matter.
"That's no problem. Have you decided what you want to be called?"
"I've thought about it."
Lin Siqiao said two words seriously: Hua Qiao!
Hua means the country of China, and Qiao originally means towering, which is often used to describe tall trees, and also implies one's own name.
Lin Siqiao secretly hopes that the country can become stronger and stronger. Of course, she also hopes that her brand can go global in the near future.
Let them see what top-level luxury is.
Director Zhong repeated the name several times in his mind. You have to admit, this name is really good.
"Okay, then let's call him Hua Qiao. I'll have someone draft the contract later."
"Thank you, Director."
Director Zhong waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. You should go upstairs and take a look at the room first. It has been decorated almost completely."
"good."
Lin Siqiao readily agreed, and the two of them walked out of the office together.
When Wu Mingyu saw them enter the room upstairs, his face turned pale.
Director Zhong, what does this mean?
Didn’t we agree that the room would be kept for myself?
It took her three years to finally climb up from an ordinary salesperson to the position of team leader.
Should I be deprived of the qualification for promotion just because I made a mistake just once?
This is so unfair!
The more Wu Mingyu thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she began to hate Lin Siqiao in her heart.
Lin Siqiao had no idea that she had become a thorn in the eyes of others. She was currently admiring her own design in her room.
In later generations, she became a darling of various luxury brands.
She has visited many large and small luxury stores at home and abroad, and the decoration styles of these stores are basically the same.
It's either modern minimalist style or minimalist style.
Lin Siqiao doesn't like that kind of design, it gives people a cold feeling.
So the decoration style in the room this time is completely pure Chinese style, and the aesthetic taste of our ancestors is the same no matter what era it is in!
"The windows, corner lights, and screens throughout the room are all the finest treasures."
"The curved display cabinet you requested is still being made. I asked the craftsman today and it will be delivered in three days at the latest."
"See if there's anything else you need to buy. You can go to the warehouse and have a look."
Lin Siqiao's eyes lit up when she heard that. There was no one else in the room at the moment, so she shamelessly spoke in a low voice.
"Director, I still need some furniture and decorations at home..."
"..." Director Zhong took a deep breath. If he had known this earlier, he would not have said this.
But in the end he gritted his teeth and agreed.
It doesn't matter who he sells her to. This girl is richer than him now.
After the two signed the contract, Director Zhong asked the driver Xiao Wang to take Lin Siqiao to the warehouse.
Lin Siqiao always thought that the warehouse was near the Friendship Store, but he didn't expect that not only was it far away, but there was also more than one warehouse.
The first stop that driver Xiao Wang took Lin Siqiao to was a place called "Huaihai Road State-owned Second-Hand Goods Store".
After they showed their ID to the staff, they were led to the back alley, where there was a huge open-air warehouse.
When Lin Siqiao arrived, he happened to see the workers moving things. After a while, a truck full of furniture beeped twice and drove away.
"Master, where are these furnitures going to be shipped?"
Lin Siqiao just took a quick look and saw that most of the furniture in the car was mahogany, with a small amount of golden nanmu.
If these were kept for another 30 years, they would sell for a lot of money!
The staff seemed accustomed to it. "Oh, you mean these? They seem to have been sold to the National Musical Instrument Factory."
“They buy so many?”
"Not much. They bought three trucks last month. So this time they bought less."
Lin Siqiao just asked a question, what they bought these for, but she didn't expect the answer she got almost gave her a heart attack.
It turns out that the National Musical Instruments Factory bought these to disassemble them and make them into huqin and yangqin. The smaller scraps would not be wasted and could be sent to the abacus factory to make abacus beads.
Lin Siqiao couldn't describe his feelings in words. He calmed down for a long time before following the staff into the open-air shed at the back.
Here Lin Siqiao saw all kinds of furniture, countless porcelains and calligraphy and paintings, all piled together randomly.
The open-air greenhouse had fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. The entire shed was extremely damp and many paintings and calligraphy had begun to rot or molder.
Lin Siqiao also learned from the staff that this was the centralized processing site for the city’s “materials”.
Those in better condition will be handed over to the Friendship Store, and the rest will be disposed of by their units.
Furniture, ornaments, porcelain, antiques and other things are things that ordinary people either cannot afford or dare not buy.
Another possibility is that not everything here is authentic, and they don't have the ability to appraise treasures, so who would spend money to buy these?
As time went by, more and more things piled up in the warehouse. Things like calligraphy and paintings could not be sold and had to be used as burning paper.
“Then you can take your time to look around, and when you’ve made your choice you can go directly to the door to pay.” The staff member said and left the greenhouse.
The driver, Xiao Wang, had come so many times that he was not very interested in these things. He said something to Lin Siqiao and went to the car to wait for her.
“…” Looking at the empty greenhouse, Lin Siqiao felt that she might make a fortune today!
