Chapter 216: Get sponsorship
Dong Guoqiang curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just the Zhang... Zhang what's that name from your department store?"
He thought hard for a long time before continuing, "She's just a little dark-skinned, a little fat, with two long braids, and she speaks in a condescending manner. If you don't know her, you might think she's some kind of leader."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately thought of Zhang Dongmei and was speechless.
Is Zhang Dongmei a fly? Why does she always go wherever there's a benefit?
She couldn't help but ask, "Director Dong, what did she tell you?"
She got angry when Dong Guoqiang was mentioned. Although the girl was young, she had a very arrogant tone.
Is it for the good of their factory?
But when asked what exactly it was, she hesitated and couldn't say.
After hesitating for a long time, he just kept repeating the same thing, asking him to sponsor clothes, and shamelessly saying that it was for the good of their factory and that it would provide free publicity for their factory.
If Director Dong hadn't been so well-mannered, he would have been so angry that he would have kicked the person out on the spot.
Thinking of this, Dong Guoqiang's face darkened. "Comrade Su, it's not that I don't want to help you. You are our factory's benefactor. If there is anything I can do for you personally, I will do my best. But the affairs of this factory are not decided by me alone. You should understand that apart from this matter, we can discuss everything else."
Su Xiaoxiao understood Dong Guoqiang's feelings very well: "Director Dong, Comrade Zhang may not have explained some things to you clearly. Let me explain it to you in detail. If you think it is feasible, you can sponsor us. If not, it's okay."
After she said that, Dong Guoqiang felt much more relaxed. Look, Comrade Su's words were pleasant to the ears. His attitude alone made him feel comfortable.
If Comrade Su had come first, he might have agreed to this, but now...
Hey, we are all colleagues in the same department store, why is there such a big difference between people?
After all, he had helped him so much, so he had to give Comrade Su the honor of listening to what he had to say.
Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "Director Dong, I see there are at least a dozen garment factories of all sizes in our city. In the past two years, many factories have closed down due to performance issues. Although our garment factory is currently performing well, every step of the way is bound to lead to bad times. Moreover, I see that your sales channels are limited. If there is a problem with the channel one day, we may face the same problems as those factories. Haven't you ever thought about expanding your sales channels?"
Dong Guoqiang was stunned when he heard this. He thought Comrade Su would talk about the benefits of sponsoring them, but he didn't expect that he would talk about this.
In fact, he has been troubled by this problem recently. Their Red Star Garment Factory is a well-known clothing company in the city, and they receive a lot of orders from home and abroad every year.
However, in the past two years, the number of orders from several partners has begun to decrease, so that the workers' wages have to decrease year by year.
To this end, the factory sent many salesmen to the market, but with little success.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Su, do you have any good ideas?"
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled: "There is a way, and that is to advertise."
Dong Guoqiang became interested: "How do we fight?"
"It's very simple, Director Dong. If you sponsor the uniforms for the gala, you can print our factory's slogan and contact number on the back of the uniforms. When we perform, audiences all over the city will see them."
"This is a unified gala for all our department stores in the city. We're going to have a lot of people watching in person. And when the TV stations record it and broadcast it, won't the publicity be effective?"
"It only costs a few pieces of clothing, but we can easily let the people of the whole city see our clothes and experience the materials and workmanship of the clothes in all aspects. What do you think?"
Dong Guoqiang had originally decided not to agree because of Zhang Dongmei's condescending attitude, but who would have thought that after hearing what Comrade Su said, he was immediately moved.
The effect of this demonstration is indeed much better than sending people out to run themselves to pieces.
He made the decision without hesitation: "Okay, no problem."
Su Xiaoxiao's face lit up immediately. She said, "Director Dong, I'd like to thank you on behalf of our factory leaders for your generous sponsorship. Also, I'm thinking of designing this dress myself. I'll give you the design drawings in three days. Is that okay with you?"
"Comrade Su, can you also design clothes?"
Dong Guoqiang didn't expect that this young girl was so capable, and immediately looked at her with admiration.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled shyly: "I just know a little bit, I can barely understand it."
Her drawing skills are pretty good. Although she hasn't studied fashion design, she has seen a lot of clothes worn by modern salespeople, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to draw one or two sets!"
A smile appeared on Dong Guoqiang's face, and he shook hands with her.
After agreeing on the sponsorship, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the department store happily.
After working for half a day, it was time for them to leave work early.
As soon as she arrived at the counter, Zhang Yulan and several other trainees immediately surrounded her.
"Xiaoxiao, I heard you went to the Red Star Garment Factory to solicit sponsorship. How's it going?"
Just as Zhang Yulan asked the question, Zhang Dongmei's sarcastic voice came from the side.
"What else can we do? Director Dong is not someone who is easy to talk to. I guess this thing will fail. He is not a fool to provide us with clothes for free."
Without looking back, Su Xiaoxiao knew who this person was.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others don't have the ability."
Su Xiaoxiao threw down a sentence, not bothering to pay attention to Zhang Dongmei, and said to Qin Shuang and others: "Let's go to the conference room first, I will tell you in detail later."
"What? Director Dong agreed?"
Zhang Yulan didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao could actually do it, and immediately looked at her with surprise.
Qin Shuang also looked at her with admiration: "Xiaoxiao, you are so amazing."
Zhang Dongmei leaned against the door, eating melon seeds, with a look of resentment on her face.
"Pah, I don't know what means they used to get the sponsorship."
Qian Xiaoyan was a little unhappy when she heard her say that: "Zhang Dongmei, what do you mean? Comrade Su helped us get sponsorship, and you're not happy?"
Zhang Dongmei pouted: "Isn't it just a piece of tattered clothing? Who cares?"
Su Xiaoxiao wasn't angry either. She smiled and said, "I forgot. I'll have to tell Director Dong later that Comrade Zhang is participating alone. There's no need for him to wear work clothes with us. Just sponsor five sets of clothes for us."
Zhang Dongmei became even angrier when she heard that there was no share of the clothes for her.
Why did Su Xiaoxiao get the sponsorship just by asking for it, but Director Dong didn’t give in even after she tried to persuade him?
Are you still isolating her now? Just wait and see, she's going to wow the whole crowd on the day of her performance and make all those crappy shows look awful.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dongmei threw away the melon seed shells in her hand and left angrily.
As he reached the door, he was bumped into by someone and stumbled.
