In the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Grandpa Bai, I went to Zhang Chenliang's studio for a visit.
Zhang Chenliang truly lives up to his reputation as a highly accomplished returnee; his studio was built strictly according to the highest international standards.
Although it is still in its early stages, its unique features can be seen from many details.
Xiao Weiguo doesn't understand these professional matters, so he won't give pointers on them. As long as the general direction is correct, he won't do the kind of thing where an outsider instructs an insider.
He trusted his employees and believed in Zhang Chenliang's abilities.
After making all the arrangements in the provincial capital, it was three days later that the trip came to an end.
Back in Shang County, they first went to check on the villa construction site. The foundation was complete, and they had started erecting the framework. It seemed the entire project should be finished within two months, before the start of the school term. Xiao Weiguo was quite satisfied with this progress.
Xiao Jian had called him from Xiaotun, saying that a team of archaeologists had entered the site and set up a cordon on the east side, preventing ordinary villagers from getting close.
It looks like the project won't be able to start for at least two or three months.
There was nothing that could be done about it, so Xiao Weiguo had no choice but to wait patiently.
Recently, all of Panlong Apparel's offline stores have returned to normal operations.
Riding on the fame established by the Panlong brand trench coats, Panlong Apparel's various new styles of clothing became an instant hit across the country.
The unified slogan used by all major brand stores is: Panlong Clothing, leading fashion, always at the forefront of trends.
The various new summer clothing styles immediately attracted countless young people upon their release.
As soon as a new style arrives at the store, this garment will immediately become the new trend.
Xiao Weiguo's forward-thinking approach to the clothing industry over the past decades is no accident. He has a deep understanding of the psychology of each generation and can accurately grasp the trends of each year.
Under these circumstances, the brand effect quickly became apparent.
Panlong Apparel is synonymous with high-end and fashionable.
Under Xiao Weiguo's instructions, the major stores began to develop their own subordinate stores.
Starting in first-tier cities, the company gradually expanded to second- and third-tier cities, further broadening its sales channels and solidifying its leading position in the industry step by step.
At the factory, Xiao Weiguo had intentionally stockpiled various clothes in the warehouse during the first half of the year, and except for some autumn and winter clothes, he had basically cleared them all out, making a very considerable profit.
Driven by the high bonuses, the workers were working like they were on steroids, with all the machines running non-stop 24 hours a day. The workers earned several times more than those in other factories each month, and walking down the street in their dragon-patterned uniforms, they were half a head taller than everyone else.
Unmarried young men and women in the factory were highly sought-after commodities; in the eyes of others, they were veritable money trees.
Currently, Xiao Weiguo is no longer under any financial pressure. He can handle both the construction site in the provincial capital and the textile factory in Xiaotun with ease.
In the afternoon, Xiao Weiguo, who had been sitting in the office all day, stretched and stood up from his chair.
The company's operations are on track in all aspects. With the coordination of various departments, Panlong Apparel operates like a huge and sophisticated machine, running smoothly and efficiently.
In this situation, Xiao Weiguo had less to do. All day long, everyone in the office building was busy, but he, the chairman, was like nothing was wrong. He sat in his office drinking tea and reading the newspaper all day.
After getting up and stretching for a bit, Xiao Weiguo stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Shangxian County.
In just over a year, who could have imagined that a business tycoon would rise up in one of the poorest and most backward small counties in the north?
From having nothing to becoming an industry leader, Xiao Weiguo only took less than a year and a half.
This is not unrelated to his forward-thinking vision after his rebirth, but it is also inseparable from the characteristics of this era.
The late 1980s and early 1990s were the biggest boom period in the country. As long as you had the guts, money was everywhere.
Competition is virtually nonexistent, and the government offers various supportive policies to encourage some people to get rich first, thereby boosting the overall economic environment.
For example, loans and land are basically being given away for free by the government right now.
This level of power is unprecedented in history; throughout thousands of years, both domestically and internationally, such an opportunity has rarely occurred.
Xiao Weiguo was very fortunate to have returned to this era. If it had been ten or eight years later, he didn't know if he could have built a business empire and protected his family who had suffered so many hardships.
After crossing the river to the north of the factory, Xiao Weiguo's gaze fell upon a patch of low bushes.
It was a riverbed that had not been managed for a long time. The river, which originally flowed from the northwest, suddenly made a sharp turn here and flowed directly east.
That buffer zone, after years of erosion by the river, has become a semi-swamp, covered with various shrubs and reeds.
Apart from some small birds and animals, basically no one dares to go to that place.
Xiao Weiguo had his eye on this for a long time.
By simply building a bridge across the river and reinforcing the dikes on both banks, several hundred or even thousands of acres of land will become available for development.
Currently, there is not much land left to develop at the original site of Panlong Garment Factory on the south bank of the river. Apart from the residential buildings to the east, there is a small food factory to the east. It should not be difficult to take it over with our own strength.
