Su Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "The woolen cloth in our store is all thick material. If you put a sweater inside, it will be warmer than a thin cotton-padded jacket. Let's try making a long and a short one with brighter colors. If they sell well, we will increase production."
"Style, Manager Qi, please stay and discuss with me later. Is there anything else?"
Qi Caifeng took out a piece of paper and said, "I took inventory of the fabrics in our warehouse. This is the fabric we have left. I have written down what else we need to restock. Take a look."
"Although the sales volume of the clothing store in our department store is very good now, I heard from several of the buyers that many people are secretly making clothes at home. Many styles are based on our best-selling styles and sold at a low price. One piece is more than ten yuan cheaper than ours. This is expected to affect our sales."
Su Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "Someone is following suit so quickly?"
"However, this is inevitable. If something is good, naturally someone will imitate it. You should be steady and keep a good quality check. The seams of the clothes must be smooth and there must not be any loose threads. The finished clothes must be ironed smoothly."
"We need to use good fabrics, change styles frequently, and just do our best. Let others follow suit. We can't control that."
"Another important point is that you must manage our people well. Those with bad character should be dismissed in advance. We cannot let them reveal our new styles. Otherwise, our new styles will be sold outside before they are sold. We will lose miserably."
"Yes, I know."
"Don't worry, Yanyan, I will take good care of them."
The two said in unison.
Su Jinyan nodded, "Aunt Qi, are your nieces Liu Jing and Ning Xiaoxiao used to living here?"
Qi Caifeng: "Well, everything is fine. Ning Xiaoxiao is rich now and has sent her child to kindergarten. She also wanted to thank you in person."
"Tell her not to be polite and just treat this place as her home. If she has any problems, she can directly ask for them. Also, tell them not to be frugal with food and eat well. I will give them some daily necessities every month."
She has been busy recently. Ning Xiaoxiao has been living here with her child for some time, but she has never visited her.
The small workshop where the workers worked was temporarily converted by her in the backyard. There were three main rooms, two ear rooms, and two side rooms on the east and west sides. The three main rooms were used as office areas for processing clothes. In order to avoid conflicts, she gave Liu Jing and Ning Xiaoxiao a room each. There was a special kitchen there with kitchen utensils, so they could cook their own meals.
There is a separate entrance and exit door to the backyard, and the workers generally do not go to the inner yard.
At this time, Liu Zhizhi stammered, "Yan, Yanyan, I... do you have any tickets here? Can I exchange some with you?"
Su Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it was still 1978. Although reform and opening up had begun, it was still an era of planned economy, and tickets were required to buy everything.
She only gets a high salary every month, but she can't buy anything without a ticket.
"Sorry, Aunt Liu, I forgot about this. What tickets do you need?"
"I, I want to exchange for a bicycle ticket and some food coupons. Now I have to take the bus to and from get off work, which wastes time. Sometimes, if I work overtime, there will be no bus. There are many people in my family, and the food coupons my husband gives me every month are not enough for the family to eat."
Su Jinyan nodded. She had never seen Liu Zhizhi riding a bicycle. It turned out that she took the bus.
"Wait a moment."
After saying that, he went back to the bedroom and took out a drawer full of bills from the drawer of the wardrobe.
She now has room for everything she eats, and the tickets she has left are about to expire and be thrown away.
After counting, there were three bicycle tickets, two radio tickets, two watch tickets, eleven oil tickets worth one kilogram, a lot of grain tickets and industrial coupons in various units of measurement, twenty-three kilograms of meat tickets, five fish tickets, seventeen soap tickets, and some cloth tickets.
She took out five pounds of meat tickets, one fish ticket, three stamps, one radio ticket, five soap tickets, and took out the rest.
"Auntie Liu, Auntie Qi, here are three bicycle tickets, one for each of you. For the remaining one, you can see which family of the other workers needs it, or give it as a reward to employees with good performance. These two watch tickets, one for each of you, food coupons, 10 kilograms each, meat, 2 kilograms each, oil, 2 kilograms each, and the rest can be distributed to other workers.
This radio ticket can also be used as a reward for hard-working employees.”
"These are all additional subsidies given to everyone, not wages."
"If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly. I was really careless about this bill. I'm sorry."
"No, no, you have been very good to us. Our whole family is very grateful to you." Liu Zhizhi said quickly.
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go back and divide the bills first, don't have any conflicts. If it's not enough, you can tell me, it's very convenient for me to handle these."
"Manager Qi, please come to me later and let's study the styles of the clothes."
The two nodded and left the house.
Su Jinyan nodded his forehead, thinking to himself that he should keep this matter in mind, get more receipts and pay them out along with his salary every month.
There should also be some practical rewards, such as rice, flour, oil, meat, or cloth.
The better the benefits, the more likely you are to retain old employees.
