"Sister Ruoxi, all profits will be used to open new stores. We only need to open 100 stores in Guangcheng City. After we have 100 stores, you can hire a manager to take over your position."
Where are you planning to transfer me?
"Of course, come to my city. We also plan to open 100 stores in Shenzhen and then start an online restaurant, just like Ele.me. They are currently only piloting in Shanghai. You can take a closer look at them when you have time."
"Okay, boss, can I ask my best friend to take over my job? She studied management, and I think it's fine for her to take over my position."
"Sure, Sister Ruoxi, you can come to me with any difficulties you encounter, whether at work or in life."
"Really, boss? I want to get an advance of 50,000 yuan to pay back my uncle, because he needs the money for my cousin's wedding on New Year's Day."
Chen Ze nodded: "I'll give you an advance of 100,000 yuan, which is half a year's salary, so you can settle some of your debts first."
"Thank you, boss," Yun Ruoxi said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Sister Ruoxi, you focus on your work. I'm going to check out Baihe Clothing. I haven't been there for several days."
"Um."
When Chen Ze arrived at Baihe Clothing, the employees greeted him warmly. He went straight to the office, checked the recent sales data, and found that performance had declined.
He frowned slightly, pondering how to increase sales. Then, an idea came to him: he could hold a fashion show to showcase the latest clothing styles.
Chen Ze immediately convened the designers and marketing team to discuss specific plans. Everyone offered their ideas, and the atmosphere was lively.
After the meeting, Chen Ze went to the designer's studio, where there were three female designers. He came up behind Tang Ni.
"Toni, show me all the styles this month."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
After opening the sample drawings, there were more than a dozen styles inside. Chen Ze glanced at them and frowned: "Donnie, there's nothing wrong with the appearance of the styles that Donnie designed, but the neckline and back design are too conservative."
Toni pushed up her glasses: "Mr. Chen, if we go any lower, our breasts will be exposed."
"Toni, how old are you this year?"
"Mr. Chen, I'm twenty-five."
Do you have a boyfriend?
"not yet."
Chen Ze said irritably, "How can you have a boyfriend if you dress so conservatively every day? Girls sometimes need to show some skin to attract the opposite sex."
"Mr. Chen, you're only eighteen, how do you know this?"
"??????"
"Alright, stop dragging me into this. Just modify the original design drawings, lower the neckline of the dress by three centimeters, and let the back drop by five centimeters. In the future, women in society will dress more and more daringly."
"In short, our skirts will gradually become more sexy from now on. And this black mini skirt, it's probably almost to the knee, right? This needs to be changed too, make it even shorter, so short that it's almost showing your butt."
"Ugh... if it's shortened like this, who would dare wear it out?"
"Just because you don't dare doesn't mean others don't dare. Just change it as I say."
Toni pouted: "Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ze arrived at the sales department and found it already full of people. More than thirty people were sitting in front of computers, typing away on their keyboards.
He found Ding Nanxiang and asked, "Sister Ding, why has the business declined recently?"
"Mr. Chen, I went to the mall these past few days and found that many factories are copying our dress designs and selling them at low prices."
In China, plagiarism and copying have become a social norm, and eradicating them is virtually impossible.
Only by constantly updating and upgrading can we maintain our competitive edge.
"Let them plagiarize. We're going for a brand strategy. Those inferior products are just for making a quick buck. How many stores do we have on Taobao and JD.com right now?" Chen Ze asked.
"There are three stores each on Taobao and JD.com, and the offline physical stores are all located in large shopping malls. There are also more than ten specialty stores."
Chen Ze nodded: "We can also expand to large supermarkets. In addition, six online stores are too few. We should register twenty more, using different store names, but selling the same goods."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll arrange for someone to register right away."
"Sister Ding, don't worry. It's too monotonous for us to just sell clothes online. Send a few people to find well-known domestic shoe brands and ask them to authorize us to sell our shoes online."
"Okay, is there anything else you need?"
"That's all for now. I'm going to school tomorrow. If you have any major problems, just call me."
"OK."
Afterwards, Chen Ze went to the factory director's office and had tea with Chen Youfu.
“Aze, ever since we started this business, no one in the Chen family in the village has said anything behind my back that I’m a nouveau riche.”
"Uncle Youfu, you're already a small entrepreneur. More than two hundred people in the factory depend on you for their livelihood, so you have to keep up the good work."
Chen Youfu poured him a cup of tea: "Yesterday I bought that piece of wasteland behind the workshop from the village chief. It cost the company 1.5 million yuan, and I gave the village chief a 200,000 yuan red envelope privately. You know what I mean."
"Uncle Youfu, that piece of wasteland is quite large, isn't it? Are you planning to expand the factory?"
“Yes, the wasteland is the same size as the workshop. I plan to spend three million to build another three-story factory building. This place is not enough now.”
Chen Ze gave him a thumbs up. He had to admit that Chen Youfu, a peasant with only a junior high school education, was really quick-witted and had a sharp eye.
"Uncle Youfu, you can do whatever you want. I'll agree to anything that benefits the company. But there's still a long way to go before you become an outstanding entrepreneur."
