Chapter 532: Every profession has its own specialty
After returning from Guangzhou, Marco Bo began to design a series of wedding-themed clothing, still using the traditional Chinese style.
Su Jiaojiao admires Marco Bo's creative ideas and concepts, which are to closely combine corporate culture with brand characteristics, take traditional Chinese style as the keynote, seize market opportunities, and make consumers think of Jiuzhou Millennium when they see traditional Chinese style clothing.
Two months was more than enough time for Marco Bo. He was already familiar with traditional Chinese clothing, and his next theme was originally planned to be a wedding series, and he had done market research before.
It just so happened that Su Jiaojiao was getting married, and he immediately realized that this wedding was a good advertisement. He would invite several photo studios to participate in the wedding, and maybe even get a wave of orders.
Su Jiaojiao doesn't mind the commercialization of her wedding. She is a businesswoman, and she would be happy to give the wedding commercial value.
For this purpose, Cai Ting and Marco Bo made a special trip to the outskirts of Beijing to measure the size of the groom-to-be Lu Jingyou, and the best men He Siyu and Qi Heng.
After learning about Marco Bo's intention, Lu Jingyou didn't care anymore, but was very supportive. In order to cooperate with Su Jiaojiao and Marco Bo's publicity, he took the initiative to contact the media and allowed the media to enter the wedding scene to create a strong business lineup.
He wanted to tell the whole world that he and Su Jiaojiao were married!
"Look at you, a businessman. You don't even spare yourself when you're ruthless." Qi Heng said with a click of his tongue. "You and Su Jiaojiao are really a couple. Even after getting married, you didn't forget to make money. You two are obsessed with money. You deserve to be rich!"
"Wedding dresses can only be displayed at the wedding to highlight their effectiveness," Lu Jingyou said disapprovingly. "Instead of sponsoring someone else's wedding, it's better to display them at your own wedding. Besides, it won't affect the flow of the wedding; it'll just add a few more shots of the dresses."
As soon as Marco Bo said that, he understood, because the wedding theme he and Su Jiaojiao decided on was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Each of them needed to prepare two sets of clothes, which were all designed by Marco Bo to form a series.
In Marco's eyes, these are not difficult. Everyone has their own expertise. As long as the style is determined, sample clothes can be produced quickly.
If they can't finish the samples of the wedding-themed series within two months, why would they accept orders?
For the Lu family, they had a lot of negative news recently, which was widely circulated in the circle. They really needed a grand wedding to let everyone know the strength of the Lu family again.
Marco Bo was responsible for the preliminary design and the purchase of fabrics and accessories. He started to get busy as soon as he came back. Cai Ting's vacation was ruined, and the two of them ran to the accessories market all day long.
Su Jiaojiao was in charge of the production process. Among the two orders that Marco brought back from Guangzhou, the winter order was sent to Qi Mei by her.
External orders require follow-up, and no matter how old Qimei is, she dare not be careless. She can only transfer Cai Ting to Qimei on a business trip, and Cai Ting can only come back after the finished product is produced.
As soon as Cai Ting left, Marco Bo became extremely busy. Not only did he have to go to the auxiliary materials market, he also had to go to Fangji to look at fabrics, which took several hours to go back and forth. He and Su Jiaojiao asked for help several times, and Su Jiaojiao asked Wang Xiaoyu to replace Cai Ting and go to the market with Marco Bo.
As the weather got colder, the windbreakers and jeans from Wudaokou, as well as the autumn styles in stock, became popular. Ding Linyu and Xin Yao were so busy that they couldn't spare any time.
Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to go to Kyoto herself to start production of the spring order from Yangcheng. The four production lines in her workshop were still making windbreakers and Korean-style autumn clothes. These two styles were selling very well, but she did not stop them.
Yu Baiqiang said that he would not be able to deliver the 5,000 spring styles by the end of the year and could only make half of them at most.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't give out all the orders, so she had to divert two production lines to produce this spring collection, and left the rest to Yu Baiqiang.
Kyoto has been making disposable aprons for more than half a year, and suddenly it started making a traditional Chinese spring version. Not to mention her, even Marco Bo was worried and would call Su Jiaojiao every now and then to ask her to strictly control the quality of Kyoto.
Su Jiaojiao also moved to Kyoto following the orders, and she and Yu Baiqiang were busy in the workshop every day providing technical guidance, checking quality, and modifying semi-finished products from morning to night.
The only difficult part about Marco Bo's spring collection is the neckline. Although it is a small V-neck, it is embroidered all around. If there is a problem, the embroidery will be ruined.
Even Yu Baiqiang said that Marco Bo's works look simple, but they are actually not easy to make.
Ding Linyu knew that the factory was busy and there was no manpower for her, so she had to hire another hourly worker to help in Wudaokou.
The two orders need to be delivered urgently, and the wedding-themed series also need to be launched one by one and put on the production line. Because they are custom-made, each sample garment is a finished product.
In fact, even if Marco Bo does not work on wedding themes, he will also work on other series and will still go out to the market to purchase fabrics and accessories. He is a fashion designer and he only designs and makes samples. He will not go to the production line to help.
The workshop is busy with orders, Marco is busy with series, Wudaokou is busy with selling goods, and the whole company is busy.
Seeing Su Jiaojiao going out early and coming back late, and becoming increasingly busy, Chen Guilan couldn't help but advise her: "You can't make enough money. You're about to get married, so don't work so hard."
"I'm getting married, but I can't stop working." Su Jiaojiao also wanted to slow down, but reality simply didn't allow it. Marco Bo had finally gotten the order, and she said she couldn't fall behind no matter what.
Fortunately, half a month later, Qi Mei produced the finished product. Cai Ting knew that there was a shortage of manpower in the capital, so she rushed back immediately.
As soon as Cai Ting came back, she went to Kyoto to replace Su Jiaojiao. Kyoto also produced finished products, but its production capacity was not as high as Qimei's. Moreover, the staff in Kyoto was unstable. People often learned a process in the morning and left in the afternoon, so they had to train new people again.
Yu Baiqiang also realized this problem and has been recruiting workers from outside, but as it is near the end of the year, recruiting workers is not so easy.
Once many people resign, they plan to go home for the New Year, and few people change to a new company at this time.
The only thing that made Su Jiaojiao feel relieved was that the employees in her company were very stable. Very few of them resigned, and almost all of them stayed.
The spring styles she makes are obviously better made than those in Kyoto, and the production capacity is also higher. As the saying goes, "Training soldiers for a thousand days only takes a moment to deploy them." This is when the benefits of having old employees can be seen.
Lu Jingyou knew that Su Jiaojiao was busy these days, so he didn't bother her much. In fact, he was also very busy. He reserved a month of wedding leave for himself, and many things had to be dealt with in advance.
It was Mrs. Lu who reminded him: "Whenever you get your marriage certificate, go quickly. In two days, you won't be able to see each other."
"Why can't we meet?" Lu Jingyou was puzzled. Three days before Zhao Shunfa and Chen Juan got married, they went to their engagement party together!
"The custom in our hometown in Jinbei is that the bride and groom cannot see each other for a month before the wedding." Old Mrs. Lu solemnly instructed Lu Jingyou, "After the 16th of this month, you are not allowed to go to Jinyuan."
