Tong Qifang: "Xiaoxiao, why are you going back again? Making cotton clothes in such a hot day can only be put in stock and stored in the bottom of the box!"
Xiao Jiahua smiled and said: "Sister Tong, if we can't produce cotton clothes in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we can still produce coats, pants and dresses.
"However, it's too late to produce spring clothes now. The next four months, May, June, July and August, are all summer, and the seasonality is long. Why don't we continue to produce summer clothes!"
Tong Qifang frowned: "Produce summer clothes? Someone has also proposed this idea. But we are a state-owned cotton factory. Now we produce cotton clothes and unlined clothes. We are almost turning into a garment factory. Isn't this confusing the nature of the factory?"
Xiao Jiahua didn't say anything. He opened the notebook on the table and drew a semicircle on the paper with high ends and a low middle. The pattern is simple, like an elegant and polite smile.
Tong Qifang was puzzled: "What is this?"
"The smile curve."
Xiao Jiahua then picked up the pen and wrote the words "design" and "sales" at the peaks at both ends of the curve.
She also wrote the four words "䥉料䌠工" at the trough in the middle of the curve.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Jiahua further explained: "Sister, think about it. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, social productivity and people's living standards have been gradually improving. In the future, people will not only pursue food and clothing, but also hope to show their personality and aesthetics through dressing.
"Therefore, in the future clothing and textile industry, design and sales will become more and more important. Fabric production and processing will only continue to decline and reduce competitiveness. This is the smile curve."
What Xiao Jiahua said was definitely not alarmist.
In a few decades, after the reform and opening up, the clothing industry will gradually become localized, and a large number of well-known clothing brands will emerge in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Fujian and other places.
There are also many international brands that will enter the domestic market and set up manufacturing and OEM factories in the country.
The most core and high-profit design and operation links are still controlled by the overseas headquarters.
In the north, many cotton mills that used to be worth a fortune as soon as their machines started spinning will eventually be eliminated by the times because they did not have enough time to transform and innovate.
"Sister Tong, do you want to be the peak or the trough?" Xiao Jiahua asked a soul-searching question.
It must be said that although Tong Qifang was confused by what she heard, she admired Xiao Jiahua's mysterious temperament of pointing out the way forward and writing inspiring words.
"Sister, of course I want to be a breast!" Tong Qifang said anxiously.
Xiao Jiahua boldly encouraged her: "Then let's do both, and be good at both. We can weave cotton cloth and innovate in clothing!"
But this is easier said than done.
Tong Qifang thought about it carefully, "The advantage of our factory now is that we have sufficient materials, no shortage of sewing machines, and workers can go to work at any time. But where can I find someone to design summer clothes? I can't just copy the pattern or imitate it!"
Xiao Jiahua: "Of course not. At any time, respecting genuine products can allow an industry to survive and develop healthily."
She reminded: "There are several coastal cities with relatively loose policies. For summer clothes, look to Guangzhou, and for Guangzhou, look to Shisan. Guangdong Textile Factory has been producing clothes for two years. There is a Liu Yiren in their factory, and they have cooperative relations with the Supply and Marketing Company. It shouldn't be difficult for me to ask Liu Yiren for a few sets of design drafts."
Tong Qifang slapped her thigh and realized, "How could I forget about her! Liu Yalan came to me some time ago and wanted to learn the weaving technology of work cloth!"
Xiao Jiahua: "That's even better. We are just starting out, so let's use resource exchange to invite designers! When we are mature, we can recruit and train our own designers."
Tong Qifang nodded hurriedly, "However, now that we have a designer, we still have to find a professional pattern maker. This way we can avoid detours and make neat and beautiful clothes!"
Xiao Jiahua suddenly remembered something. It was really worth the effort to find it. "Sister Tong, Taifeng County is so big, it won't be difficult to find a pattern maker."
"Who do you want to fuck?"
Xiao Jiahua: "It's easy to invite these two masters, but also not easy to invite them. Sister Tong, please go to the county and provincial leaders to report first. Once the policy is approved, I will take you to meet them."
Xiao Jiahua didn't mean to keep people in suspense. After all, if the application is not approved, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
So, no matter how eager she was, Tong Qifang still listened to Xiao Jiahua and went to the county government first.
