Chapter 95: Continue to look for female workers to modify the goods
After working all night, Xia Keqing settled the wages of the five female workers and let them go back to rest.
Although it is tiring to alter clothes, the boss is very happy to pay me.
You can earn two dollars a night. What's the point of staying up all night for such a good thing?
It’s not like there was no overtime work in the factory before, but even if you work overtime for a month, the salary might not even be two dollars a night.
They can still hold on!
It was an accident that these female workers were found. Xia Keqing happened to be next to the cotton textile factory and met an older sister, who then gave her an idea.
Isn't this near the cotton textile factory?
I just asked casually, "Sister, are you a worker in the cotton textile factory? Do you know how to use a sewing machine?"
Although the eldest sister looked confused.
But as a worker in a cotton mill, of course the sewing machine would.
To be precise, "three turns and one ring" is the standard configuration of this era. As a female worker in a cotton textile factory, her family conditions are generally good, and she definitely knows how to use a sewing machine.
Xia Keqing invited this elder sister to work for her, and asked her to call four or five of her sisters to work with her. The salary would be paid on a daily basis, and the more work, the more pay.
The eldest sister's eyes lit up.
Is there such a good thing?
Here it comes.
Holding the five yuan still warm in her hand, the elder sister's eyes were still sparkling, "Hey, boss, there are so many jobs, can't you finish them?"
"Then tomorrow we will..."
Xia Keqing blinked her eyes, of course she understood what the elder sister meant.
She thought about it and realized that someone had to do the work, but five people were still too few.
"Big sister, to be honest with you, I plan to clear out at least half of this batch of goods before the New Year. You guys..."
She frowned deliberately.
Sure enough, the smile on the eldest sister's face disappeared in an instant.
I was worried that they might have done something wrong.
At the same time, no one dared to underestimate this young girl.
"Although my shop is small, it was given to me by my family to practice, and I also want to make some achievements. If my home was not far away, my parents would definitely send someone to help me."
Xia Keqing looked at the older sisters with different expressions sincerely.
The eldest sister in the group was named Du. She quickly said, "Yes, yes!"
Xia Keqing glanced at them and saw that the excitement on their faces gradually faded away. They became nervous and cautious. She couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and said, "Well, you can find some more people. The more the better. The price is still as we agreed, two dollars a night."
The five elder sisters looked at each other.
They were all women with nimble hands and feet, and that night each of them altered more than a hundred pieces of clothing.
That’s more than 500 pieces for five people.
The boss still has more than 20,000 pieces. Even if they don't find anyone else, it will only take the five of them more than 50 nights to finish the modification.
Maybe you can do it even faster as you become more proficient in it.
Two dollars a night, more than fifty nights, that’s more than a hundred dollars per person!
The monthly salary they earned at the cotton textile factory was only more than 50 yuan, which was two months' salary!
Or ask for leave from the factory?
Although the efficiency of the cotton textile factory is not as good as before, it may be okay to take a day or two off, but it is probably not possible to take a month or two consecutive leave, not to mention that it is not just one person, but five.
But they were somewhat unwilling to let others earn such a large sum of money so easily.
Several of them are old sisters who have worked together for half of their lives.
They understood each other very well; just a glance was enough for them to understand each other's meaning.
Sister Du couldn't help but smile and said, "Boss, you see, we did a good job, even though we were a little slow. Isn't it because we were in a hurry?"
Although Xia Keqing was a slouch, she had worked in the workplace for some time after all, so she immediately understood what these big sisters meant.
"You mean you can help me get all these goods ready within half a month?"
The faces of several older sisters suddenly froze.
"Dong, Dong, you are such a joker!"
"How can we finish so much work in half a month?"
Xia Keqing glanced at her and said, "If you can help me find someone, then find more people. If not, I can find someone else."
She just wanted to get these goods done in the shortest possible time. As long as the quality was up to standard, she would pay. If not, she would make changes until the quality was up to standard.
They are asked to come here to work, not to be controlled.
Sister Du and the others' expressions suddenly turned unnatural.
Obviously, he also understood that Xia Keqing was not someone who was easy to control.
Sister Du could only smile dryly and apologize, "Look at my mouth, I said the wrong thing. Well, we have worked in the cotton textile factory for most of our lives, and we know a lot of old sisters. We all know how to operate sewing machines, so we can all come and work!"
Xia Keqing made the final decision, "That's fine, just call everyone over."
…
After knowing that Xia Keqing was not easy to fool, Sister Du actually hired ten more people. This immediately increased the work efficiency, and in less than half a month, all 30,000 pieces of clothing were altered.
What happened next was exactly as Xia Keqing had expected.
Business was booming during the first three days of the grand opening promotion.
After all, in this day and age, ordinary people don’t have so many tricks and schemes to open a store.
Gimmicks like buy a certain amount and get a certain amount free, get a certain amount free when you spend a certain amount, etc. are all new and fresh.
Plus, since the product is really good, of course more people buy it.
The spending power of college students is not to be underestimated.
But after the grand opening promotion, business gradually returned to normal.
Xia Keqing had already anticipated this situation, but Wang Wanzhen and Qin Qiaowei were a little uncomfortable with it.
"Boss, how come this business is so different from the past few days..."
Wang Wanzhen actually has some selfish motives.
She is treated so well now. Not only does she receive a salary every month, but she also receives a performance bonus and an attendance bonus. Although she hasn't been in the store for a full month, her performance in the store can be checked.
If the employer really pays her according to what is written in the contract, she might be able to get a bonus of one thousand yuan after the New Year!
This was something Wang Wanzhen had never dared to think about before.
Then she wouldn't have to work for twenty years to earn the several thousand dollars she originally wanted. She could even earn it in a few years!
So Wang Wanzhen particularly hopes that the store will do good business.
It can be said that apart from Xia Keqing, she is the one who most desires good things for the store.
She has a simple mind. She thinks that only if the store does good business will the boss have money to pay her salary.
Qin Qiaowei had similar thoughts to hers.
But she was a city girl after all, and more knowledgeable than Wang Wanzhen. She took the initiative to comfort Wang Wanzhen, "Oh my sister, our store's business is already very good. Who can make so much money in the first three days after opening a new store?"
She made a gesture with an exaggerated expression.
Wang Wanzhen was immediately amused by her.
She temporarily put aside her worries and thought that it was true.
"The clothes in our store are of good quality and beautiful styles. Those people who don't buy them are just being ignorant!"
Wang Wanzhen is weak in matching, so she has been doing relevant homework.
But she was embarrassed to trouble Xia Keqing, so she asked Qin Qiaowei for help and consulted her about the matching issues.
Qin Qiaowei was a very sincere girl, so she asked her to match her clothes first, and when Wang Wanzhen was done, she would give her opinions and suggestions.
Wang Wanzhen found that after the little girl's guidance, the clothes she matched looked more elegant.
So she was convinced by what the little girl said.
"Then can you help me see if this is okay?"
As the two were talking, suddenly a large group of people rushed into Keqing Women's Clothing Store.
The two looked at each other and immediately smiled professionally.
“That’s it!”
“It’s this women’s clothing store!”
