When Liu Cuiyun saw that Tian Xiuli had been hired, she was also eager to do the same, and eventually she went to Xia Enruo to tell her her thoughts.
Since they were all military wives, as long as they were willing to work, they were all hired. Xia Enruo was hired by the shop without hesitation because she offered a relatively high salary.
With the strong recommendation of veteran employees, 12 new employees were recruited in less than a week.
To ensure that employees could get started immediately during the new store opening period, she arranged for all employees to first intern at the store, with experienced employees guiding new employees to familiarize themselves with the work processes.
With the employee issue resolved, the most important thing now is the progress of the renovation.
With all four construction sites operating simultaneously, Xia Enruo was so busy every day that she could barely stand.
She traveled back and forth between four places by bus, and she really missed the days in her previous life when she had a car and her assistant could drive her wherever she wanted to go.
Now, not only do we have to wait for the bus, but we also have to transfer between each stop.
Once I earn enough money, I must buy one, and I'll buy one for Gu Shaoxuan too, so it will be convenient for him to commute from the regimental headquarters to the city.
Meng Fei diligently carried out the construction according to the blueprints drawn by Xia Enruo.
After a month of working day and night to catch up on the work, the four construction sites are finally taking shape.
The biggest change, of course, is at the warehouse construction site.
Before, when I pushed open the door, a strong earthy smell would hit me, and the dark, cavernous appearance was like an abandoned car factory from a movie in my past life.
Now, when you come in, it's bright and airy, and it really feels like a studio in a modern office building.
Seeing the results of his construction, Meng Fei was even more impressed by Xia Enruo's design mind; such an advanced style simply shouldn't be a product of this era.
"Mr. Xia, you are really capable. No wonder Yongning can't find another person with your design talent and business acumen."
Meng Fei gave Xia Enruo a thumbs up; he was completely captivated by her.
Xia Enruo was also satisfied with her creative design. As the images in her mind gradually came to life in the warehouse, a sense of accomplishment welled up within her.
"By the way, Mr. Xia, what kind of business are you planning to develop with this design?"
Meng Fei followed behind Xia Enruo, inspecting the construction site, and asked.
"I want to open the largest clothing cleaning and repair company in Yongning City. Of course, this is just the first step!"
Xia Enruo had already planned it out. There were four warehouses in this compound. She would first use one of the warehouses to set up a clothing cleaning and mending department, and put all the clothes collected from the four universities here for cleaning.
Once the funds have returned and there's extra money in hand, you can open a chain of clothing cleaning shops throughout Yongning City. Of course, these shops don't need to be that big; you only need to hire one employee to collect and deliver clothes.
All laundry work is done in this courtyard.
"Mr. Xia, this place is so big, are you planning to use it all to open a laundry factory? How many clothes would you have to wash every day! I bet you'd have to bring all the clothes from the entire city here to be cleaned!"
Xia Enruo turned around and made a joke.
“Isn’t this Meng Fei’s construction team? Your work clothes get dirty very easily every day. Send them all to me to be washed, and I won’t have to worry about business being bad.”
Meng Fei shook his head, like a rattle-drum.
“Boss Xia, we’re all manual laborers, how could we bear to spend so much money washing our work clothes? Don’t laugh at us, we don’t even wash them once a month.”
However, what Meng Fei said was indeed true. How could a manual laborer possibly spend money to wash his clothes? He would wash them at home anyway. Besides, work clothes don't need to be washed often. They would only take them home to wash when they were really dirty.
The main customers for laundry services are students and wealthy people, so the location of the shop needs to be carefully considered. Where in Yongning do people with good living conditions, we should open a laundry shop in the vicinity.
“Captain Meng, I’m not going to convert all of my warehouses into laundry rooms. I plan to set up a clothing design company here in the future, but this will take time to prepare. First, I’ll renovate the site, and then gradually expand when the time is right.”
Xia Enruo had already considered this when she was designing patterns at home these past two days: once she had collected more and more clothes, she would record the pattern of each garment.
By selecting popular styles and then refining and incorporating design elements from previous generations, they gradually launched their own clothing brand.
First, we'll talk to local garment factories in Yongning about a collaboration, commission them to produce a batch, and see how it goes.
If the social response is good, we can gradually set up our own clothing production line. Anyway, we have plenty of space now, and we can just take out a warehouse and use it directly.
This place was definitely worth the money.
After hearing Xia Enruo's words, Meng Fei patted his head and praised her.
"Boss Xia is a natural businessman. If you don't get rich, who will?"
Construction was in full swing at the site. After Xia Enruo settled in, she simply sent Zhao Minghui with the blueprints to coordinate with the construction team and keep an eye on the progress of the renovation.
She herself is preparing to apply for various business licenses.
Due to the expansion of our business scope, our previous business license is no longer sufficient to meet our current needs.
After some thought, Xia Enruo decided to establish two companies. The final decision was to establish Yongning Kelaixiang Catering Service Co., Ltd. and Yongning Meijiajing Trade Co., Ltd.
She herself serves as the legal representative.
She took all her certificates and documents to the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Since very few people are now registering limited liability companies, the most common type of business license issued in Yongning City is that of individual business owners.
The staff at the Industry and Commerce Bureau found it quite unusual to see a young girl applying for licenses for two companies for the first time.
In addition, the salesperson didn't handle many of these types of cases to begin with, and Xia Enruo had to make four or five trips back and forth without getting it completely done.
It was either missing this file or needing to fill in that file; Xia Enruo was running around like crazy.
In the 1980s, government agencies were at their most arrogant, with everyone looking down on each other and acting haughty.
They didn't care whether the masses were tired or not. They didn't understand or admit it themselves, and insisted on pushing the blame onto Xia Enruo, nitpicking over nothing.
In a fit of anger, Xia Enru went to the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, but to no avail and was instead scolded.
She was so angry that all she wanted to do after leaving the Industry and Commerce Bureau was to curse.
They claim to serve the people, but they're more likely to make things difficult for them.
In the past, local governments across the country successively launched one-stop services and service counters that only required one visit.
You can register a company for as little as one yuan. Just go to the business bureau, provide the necessary documents, and you'll receive the license certificate in less than an hour.
Now look what's happened. After three days of work, there's been zero progress, and we're still stuck in the same place.
