After leaving the venue and getting into the car, Xie Dongyang untied his tie, leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath. This auction almost made him lose his breath. Although he got the land successfully, he is now under greater pressure.
The main reason is that the land is too expensive, a bit beyond their company's affordability, and they don't know what will happen in the end. I have a lot of things to worry about, so I am somewhat uncertain and naturally feel a lot of pressure.
However, he did not say any discouraging words like the development could not be successful. Since he had already successfully obtained the land, he would naturally go through the procedures and formalities and start doing what needed to be done immediately. He would never let this piece of land fall on his hands.
Ruan Xi trusts Xie Dongyang's ability and is not too worried about this aspect.
After acquiring the land, all the following matters were handed over to Xie Dongyang. Ruan Xi would discuss and decide some decision-making matters with him, and would also go to the construction site from time to time to check on the progress of the project so that he would have an idea of the situation.
Because this is the first piece of land auctioned locally, many other companies are eyeing it. Naturally, everyone wanted to see what the final result would be after Xiyang Real Estate spent such a high price to acquire this land.
It is inevitable that there will be bad intentions among peers when competing with each other, and many people hope that they will be rotten in their hands.
Ruan Xi and Xie Dongyang certainly knew how many eyes were watching them, so they dared not slack off in the development and construction. From design to construction, we strictly supervise every level to make the house well built and beautiful.
Today, Ruan Xi went to the construction site again and had a brief chat with Xie Dongyang about the project. After reading it, I returned to the company and sat down, and my mind naturally returned to the things that interested me most.
Cheng Nuonuo brought her a cup of coffee, put it down and said to her, "Ms. Ruan, you were not here just now. Miss Su from the song and dance troupe called and said she had something important to discuss with you."
Ruan Xi nodded, finished her coffee and called Su Ye back.
After calling Su Ye, she smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Su. I'm so sorry. I just went out for something. Nuo Nuo said you had something important to talk to me about."
Su Ye said on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Ruan, this is what happened. Didn't I wear the dress you made to the party last year? Everyone said it looked good. This year, the party production team wants to ask you to make the dress. Are you free to take the job?"
Of course there is. Ruan Xi smiled and said, "There is time. How about we meet somewhere and talk about it in detail?"
Su Ye said, "Let's not make an appointment to talk somewhere else. I'll just take her to your place. It'll be a good opportunity for the person in charge to see the dresses you made. Seeing them with his own eyes will give him a better idea. What do you think?"
Ruan Xi: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
In order to receive the people from the Spring Festival Gala program team, Ruan Xi, Cheng Nuonuo and Aunt Qin tidied up the office and studio together. At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Su Ye and the program team leader arrived as scheduled.
After Ruan Xi entertained them with tea and snacks in the office, she took them to the studio to see the dresses and, of course, her working environment, as well as many design drafts that had not yet been made into clothes.
The people in the program crew were very satisfied with the show, especially those who watched Aunt Qin's handmade embroidery for a long time.
After reading it, the person in charge just smiled and said, "It turns out that you came to the right place."
After looking at the dresses, they returned to the office from the studio and sat down. The person in charge seemed to have made a decision. Without beating around the bush, he said directly to Ruan Xi: "This year we plan to ask you to make dresses for our female host and folk singer. Are you free?"
How can a fashion company not have time to make clothes? Ruan Xi nodded and said, "I am free here. I am focusing my main time and energy on custom-made clothes. I personally like embroidery and other handicrafts."
In this day and age, is there any better way to promote yourself than appearing on the Spring Festival Gala?
This is the biggest stage that people all over the country will watch.
The person in charge smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll make some arrangements here, and then they can come to you to discuss how to make the dresses. Because everyone wants you to make the dresses, so we just let the program team come forward."
Ruan Xi curved her lips and eyebrows, "Okay, just ask them to come to me when they are free."
These custom-made clothes are not made by ordinary people. They are all brought by old customers, new customers, or introduced by acquaintances. So there is nothing to worry about. As long as the deal is agreed, it is basically settled.
From a procedural perspective, it is essentially no different from hiring a tailor to make clothes in the past. It all involves selecting the style, materials, and tailoring the clothes to the customer's body, then modifying and polishing the clothes over and over again to make clothes that satisfy the customers.
After discussing the making of the dress, they drank tea and ate snacks. Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ye and the person in charge were about to leave. Ruan Xi and Cheng Nuonuo sent them downstairs and watched them leave the company.
Back upstairs, Ruan Xi went straight to the studio, sat down in front of the easel and said, "It's time to work."
Aunt Qin looked back at her, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Are you going to the Spring Festival Gala again?"
Ruan Xi picked up the paintbrush and said with a smile: "Yes, I will do one this year."
Hearing this, Aunt Qin smiled even more happily, looking at Ruan Xi and said, "You don't know, last year Su Ye wore the dress we made to the party. Although I only made a few flowers, I was so excited that I waited in front of the TV with my family to watch it. My family said that the dress was the most beautiful at the party."
Ruan Xi's smile remained unchanged: "Let's make something more beautiful this year."
It naturally takes more time to make a more beautiful skirt. Ruan Xi still meets the actors to look at them first and then draw the design. After finalizing the design, he makes a pattern to make a blank sample. After modifying the sample, he starts the formal production.
Because there were so many skirts to make and they had to be modified over and over again, she and Aunt Qin were much busier than in the first half of the year. Apart from some necessary tasks every day, Ruan Xi spends the rest of his time working in the studio.
When she was tired, she rubbed her shoulders and cervical vertebrae and said to Aunt Qin: "If the Spring Festival Gala asks us to make dresses in the future, we will have to go to the factory to recruit more people. If we rely on just the two of us, we may be exhausted to death."
Embroidery, beading, sewing sequins and diamonds are all delicate work, especially when they are made entirely by hand, and are the most time-consuming.
Aunt Qin smiled and said, "If you're too busy, then hire a few more."
At the moment, Ruan Xi felt that it was not necessary. After all, her custom clothing business had just started. With just a few skirts, she and Aunt Qin each had a needle, and they could definitely make them before New Year's Eve.
In addition to overseeing major matters in the company, checking the progress of projects on the construction site from time to time, and being busy making dresses in the studio, Ruan Xi also took time out to go abroad.
In fact, she takes time out every year to travel and stay abroad for a while, because some fabrics and accessories are not available in China and can only be picked and bought abroad. In addition to the style design and impeccable craftsmanship, her pursuit of fabrics and accessories is also one of the reasons why her dresses look better than those made by others.
After six months of hard work, all the dresses were finally made.
During the process of making the dress, Su Ye was the most attentive. She would come to check on how her dress was made almost every few days. Ruan Xi could see that she really liked exquisite and beautiful things, and was really particular about them.
She would pay attention to even the smallest diamond or sequin on the clothes.
Of course, after seeing the finished product, she was always happier and more satisfied.
After feeling happy and satisfied, standing on the stage of the party in a dress will naturally make you more dazzling.
Of course, this is also the whole meaning of Ruan Xi making clothes for others - to let others wear the clothes she specially designed, be the most beautiful, the best and the most confident self, and shine in every occasion.
There may be competition in other industries, but when it comes to custom-made dresses, almost no one is competing with Ruan Xi, because other designers or tailors simply cannot make the dresses she makes. Her design and craftsmanship are irreplaceable.
Nowadays, most fashion designers who graduate from design schools design simple garments in garment companies. These days, ready-made clothes have gradually become mainstream, there are many ready-made clothes companies, and the ready-made clothes market has also slowly developed.
In a few years, ready-made clothes will occupy most of the clothing market, and even fewer people will seek out tailors to make their clothes.
Of course, clothes made by ordinary tailors are not as good-looking as those produced by clothing companies, but ordinary people cannot afford extraordinary tailors. Handmade custom clothing is bound to become niche and high-end.
Because she started early and her designs were cutting-edge and her workmanship was exquisite, she had no competitors in the custom-made dress business. Therefore, making dresses for the hosts and singers of the Spring Festival Gala every year became Ruan Xi's regular business.
After the program list for the Spring Festival Gala was finalized the following year, the program crew found Ruan Xi again.
At the end of August, the cicadas begin to chirp.
Cheng Nuonuo waited at the train station for more than ten minutes. When Ruan Qiuyue came out of the station with a suitcase, she hurriedly took the suitcase from Ruan Qiuyue and took her to the car.
The driver got out of the car, took the suitcase and put it in the trunk, then Cheng Nuonuo and Ruan Qiuyue got in the car together.
After getting in the car, Cheng Nuonuo sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, then turned around and said to Ruan Qiuyue, "Boss Ruan is in a meeting and can't come, so she asked me to come and pick you up to the company."
It was a bit hot, Ruan Qiuyue sat in the back and breathed softly, and responded: "Okay, thank you."
She will graduate from college this summer and has completed all the procedures for studying abroad. I spent two months of summer vacation at home because I am going abroad to study, so I came to find Ruan Xi and say goodbye to them.
The driver drove back to the company, and Ruan Qiuyue followed Cheng Nuonuo to Ruan Xi's office to sit down and rest. Cheng Nuonuo brought her a cup of iced coffee and sat down to chat with her for a while.
In the conference room on the first floor.
Xie Dongyang looked at Ruan Xi and said, "The Housing Authority has approved our filing, and we have obtained the sales license. The price has also been announced. The filing price is 2,000 yuan per square meter, and the sales price is 1,800 yuan per square meter. We have also negotiated cooperation with the bank. As long as you meet the requirements, you can buy a house through a mortgage."
Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Then let's determine the launch date, plan the launch event, spend money on advertising and promotion, find someone to distribute flyers, and prepare to start selling houses."
Xie Dongyang also nodded and said, "Okay, then let's first determine the opening date."
…
After the meeting, I returned to the office on the third floor. Cheng Nuonuo and Ruan Qiuyue were still sitting there chatting.
Seeing Ruan Xi coming in, both of them stood up. Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Xi and smiled and said, "Are you done?"
Ruan Xi motioned Ruan Qiuyue to sit down, and he also walked to the sofa and sat down, "I had a meeting to prepare to sell the house."
Ruan Qiuyue sat down and said, "Big sister, you are amazing. You have made such a big clothing business. It's not enough that you have opened so many stores across the country. Now you have started selling houses."
Ruan Xi laughed, "Life is about struggle."
After chatting about business for a while, Ruan Xi changed the subject and asked Ruan Qiuyue, "When are you leaving?"
Ruan Qiuyue said: "I will leave the day after tomorrow. I will stay with you for two days."
Ruan Xi looked at her and said, "You left so soon, why don't you come here earlier?"
Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Xi and smiled, "You are all busy, I am afraid to disturb you."
Ruan Xi picked up the cup and rolled her eyes at her, "I'm being polite to your elder sister."
It was getting dark outside. Ruan Xi picked up her bag and left work, then took Ruan Qiuyue home first. When I got home, I helped her tidy up the room and make the bed, let her put down her luggage, and waited for Ling Yao to get home from get off work, and then we went to see Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua together.
When I went there, I brought some food with me and had dinner there.
Since Ruan Xilingyao and Ruan Qiuyue were all here, Ruan Cuizhi naturally called Ruan Jie's family and Ruan Changsheng's family to come over as well. Anyway, they are all close by, so just make a phone call and they will be there in a short while.
The family gathered together to have a lively meal, and the noisiest ones were the three kids, Ruan Dabao, Ruan Yue and Chen Xu. The three of them, the small one and the big one, ran all over the yard, jumping from here to there and from there to here.
When they talked about Ruan Qiuyue going abroad to study during the meal, Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua sighed and said, "If these words were said in the past, we wouldn't even understand them. You kids are really more promising than the other."
Then he asked, "I heard from people in the alley that many people go abroad and never come back. They say everything in foreign countries is good, but we can't imagine how good it is. Qiuyue, will you come back?"
Ruan Qiuyue smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm just going to read a book and will be back soon."
Liu Xinghua said: "It's better to come back. Home is still the best."
Ruan Qiuyue stayed here for another day, spending more time with Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua, and then on the morning of the third day, she took her luggage and took Ruan Xi's car to the airport. Coming here, I naturally left from the airport.
Ruan Xi sent her to the airport and drove to the company after she passed security check.
For the next period of time, Ruan Xi focused more on the opening of the property, finalized the planning scheme, and also paid a little attention to the planning and layout of the site, striving to ensure that the entire project site could be in order on the opening day.
By the day before the opening, all preparations were complete.
By this point in the project, Xie Dongyang had already had a rough idea of the outcome, but he still suffered from insomnia that night. After working so hard for so long, tomorrow will be the day to see the results, so he naturally couldn't help but be nervous.
Unable to sleep, he bothered Wen Xiao and they had a drink under the moonlight.
Wen Xiao was so sleepy that her eyes were squinting. She held up her cheek and said, "Don't worry, they can all be sold. After all, houses are not food, and they won't expire or rot in your hands. Just sell them slowly."
Xie Dongyang picked up the cup and said, "Come on, wish me... a great victory tomorrow!"
Wen Xiao raised his cup and clinked it with his, "Great victory tomorrow!"
After drinking some alcohol to induce sleep, Xie Dongyang managed to fall asleep for a while.
Because he had something on his mind, he got up as soon as the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.
After getting up, he washed and shaved, put on his shirt and suit meticulously, and tied his tie carefully. After breakfast, he drove to the sales office with Wen Xiao, who was also dressed elegantly.
He was still nervous on the way there, but when he arrived at the sales office, he was stunned before he even got out of the car, and blurted out a curse that he hadn't said in years - "Fuck!"
Wen Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised his hand and slowly pulled down his sunglasses, blinked and said, "Oh my God, there are... so many people?"
The event hasn't even started yet, so where is the line? Are they still worried that the house can't be sold? Compared with the number of houses built and the number of people queuing up, there are simply not enough houses to sell!
After being shocked, she looked at Xie Dongyang and asked, "Isn't this someone you paid to hire?"
Xie Dongyang came back to his senses and said with some pride: "I'm sorry, we really haven't spent this money before."
After that, he opened the car door and said, "Get out of the car, let's go."
Wen Xiao put on her sunglasses, picked up her bag, and followed him out of the car to the sales office.
Ruan Xi arrived earlier than them and was already at the sales office.
The two met and greeted each other. Ruan Xi smiled and said, "How are you? Are you still nervous?"
Xie Dongyang's face wrinkled with laughter, "Then I was never nervous at all."
Wen Xiao was beside him, teasing him, "Who was awake last night?"
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing, but didn't say anything else.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time for the opening ceremony to begin.
The event planning was very complete, with a host invited, a press conference, editing and performances.
However, people who come to buy houses have no interest in these processes at all, and their minds are not on them at all. Most of them have already picked out a house before the market opens, and they come here today just to grab a house.
So when the house sales started, the scene immediately became hot.
An hour later, inside a real estate company.
The CEO said to the Vice CEO, "By the way, is the property in Xiyang opening today?"
The vice president said, "Yes, it opens today. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
The boss said, "Of course we have to go and take a look. We have been waiting for more than a year. They spent such a high price to acquire the land last year. Whether it is worth it or not, we will find out today."
As he said this, he stood up from his chair and walked out of the office with the vice president.
The vice president walked beside him and said, "I've already asked someone to go over and take a look."
Before he had taken a few steps, the person the vice president was talking about appeared in front of him, sweating and panting. Seeing him running up to him, the vice president asked, "How is the scene? We were just about to go over and take a look."
The man took a breath and said, "No... no need to go... sold... sold out..."
Hearing this, the boss was stunned and blurted out: "Ah?"
The vice president looked at his watch and asked, "How long has it been since the sale started? And it's already sold out?"
The man calmed down a little, "It was sold out in an hour."
The boss stared and stumbled over his words: "One...an...an hour?"
The man nodded, "Actually... it's not even an hour yet..."
The CEO and the Vice CEO stared at each other.
"!!!"
