Tengchong clicked his tongue a few times. Lu Zhiye had never said what he did before, but now he had revealed his true colors!
Lu Zhiye also had his own plans; Tengchong had already developed a certain level of trust with Li Dazhuang.
He can control things for a while, but not forever.
As long as Li Dazhuang doesn't succeed, he will definitely keep using this relationship to deceive people!
Lu Zhiye only hoped that Tengchong could see through this person's intentions. Now that Tengchong's attention was drawn to clothing, he had no extra energy to invest in other small commodities.
This can be considered as saving a wayward teenager!
When the group arrived at the workshop, they saw an old master craftsman with gray hair, accompanied by several workers.
They were all quite young, and they watched intently as the master craftsman explained to them how to identify fabrics.
"Different fabrics will produce different clothes. Before you learn to make clothes, you should first understand the quality of the fabrics!"
This is my first lesson for you!
His voice was stern, and the workers beside him nodded repeatedly like quails: "We understand, teacher!"
Lu Zhiye and the others didn't disturb them, and quietly listened to the old master's explanation.
Director Ge dared not go any further. Good heavens, this old master has a terrible temper!
If anyone causes trouble during his teaching, he can hit you on the head with a ruler and give you a big bump!
Director Ge: Don't ask, the answer is I've learned my lesson the hard way!
Only when the master chef was so hoarse from talking that he picked up his teacup to drink water did Director Ge dare to step forward with a smile: "Master Hou, we have a customer here!"
Do you want to go take a look?
Master Hou glared at him: "When you get business, why don't you just let him pick out the sample garment himself?"
Can you see I'm teaching?
Director Ge swallowed hard and quickly said, "This boss is different from others; he took a lot of design drafts!"
I was thinking of finding an experienced master craftsman to make the pattern, and I figured that you were the most experienced one in our entire factory.
That's why we brought them here!
How did Director Ge, who has been dealing with Master Hou for so long, know to follow the fire's flow?
Sure enough, Master Hou's mouth practically stretched to his waistband in a grin. He coughed twice and said, "Let's go then, let's go to the office and take a look!"
When the group arrived at the office, Master Hou looked at the thick stack of design drafts and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing!
I thought there were only a few, but there are so many! He had to do all the layout work by himself, he must be exhausted!
He looked through all the design drafts, but before he could even look at Lu Zhiye, he asked, "Are all these drafts to be given to our factory for pattern making?"
The initial pattern-making costs are not low!
Lu Zhiye responded in a deep voice: "I only brought these design drafts with me this time. Master Hou, please take a look. You have worked in the factory for a long time, so you must know which master is good at which type of design."
"If you can't handle it all, I'll find another factory!"
Master Hou took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "If I may ask, after these clothes are patterned, if they meet your requirements, would you place an order with our factory?"
"Of course, since you're the primary supplier, we'll definitely choose you first!"
Director Ge was overjoyed. If he could secure this large order, his year-end bonus would increase several times over!
Master Hou was overjoyed. The factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, but in June of this year, a sum of money was suddenly injected, and some advanced equipment was introduced!
The sewing machine, in particular, is much more responsive than the old-fashioned sewing machines!
At the same time, some of the factory's strict regulations also changed.
For example, the tailor team leaders in several workshops have all changed their wage payment methods!
For any sample garments that they designed, if selected by a customer and placed a large order, these veteran tailors would receive a commission!
This shift in the work model has given many people a lot of confidence and made them more motivated to work!
Upon hearing this, Master Hou sat up straight and began to carefully select fabrics. He picked out the fabric patterns he was good at, and then smiled and said to Lu Zhiye, "We have several other experienced masters in our factory."
Or should we call them all over here?
"Okay, you can see for yourselves, but before that, I have one condition!"
Within three years, your factory is not allowed to sell any clothes made from my designs to other customers!
Even individual travelers are not allowed!
Director Ge gasped; he couldn't make that request on his own!
People don't have much awareness of copyright these days. Even major clothing factories only focus on making the styles that sell well!
Master Hou, an experienced tailor, looked at Lu Zhiye with surprise. These old tailors were all skilled craftsmen who paid attention to this aspect.
Going back a hundred or so years, their ancestors were basically all tailors. People can tell at a glance which tailor made this kind of clothing!
Other tailors also have their own pride and disdain to steal other people's sewing techniques.
Their industry is alright, but when it comes to fabrics, copyright issues become very serious!
However, times have changed dramatically over the past few decades, and people have gradually stopped caring about many things.
I can't believe someone would bring this up now!
Director Ge gritted his teeth: "I need to ask the factory director about this. I wonder when Comrade Lu will leave?"
Our factory manager went to a meeting and probably won't be back until this afternoon!
Lu Zhiye put away all the blueprints on the table and said slowly, "Then after you've finished your discussion, go directly to Xiao Liuzi, and he'll bring me over!"
If it's suitable, we can negotiate the price; if not, I'll find another factory!
Director Ge nodded. No sooner had they left than Master Hou pointed at Director Ge's head and started cursing: "Are you stupid?"
It's perfectly normal that someone wouldn't want you to sell the garment pattern based on their design drawings, right?
Otherwise, why would they spend so much effort designing the blueprints?
I looked through all the drawings just now, and they weren't made by one person, which means that person must have consulted many people.
Doesn't this cost money? People who have paid for something certainly don't want it stolen by outsiders without spending a penny.
Even if you ask the factory manager directly, he'll agree without hesitation!
Mingzhi Garment Factory, which is now our competitor, is eyeing the customers that come from our factory!
Aren't you afraid these people will be asked to leave by the Mingzhi Garment Factory?
Upon hearing Master Hou's words, Director Ge's heart pounded wildly!
He was on the verge of tears: "What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Go and call them back right now!"
Master Hou was so disappointed in his students that he stood up and started yelling at them!
