Chu Yu nodded. Clothing stores bring in money quickly, unlike furniture stores, which require large investments and have slow returns. Even if they are very profitable in the future, it is difficult to see cash in the end.
The clothing industry is incredibly profitable these days. Chu Yu has big ambitions; 50 stores next year won't be enough, she wants to open 100.
"Zhuyu, why don't you come to Beijing with me next year?"
Shulan is enough to stay in Deyang. Now that Mandarin is going to become a franchise store, the selection and production will be more systematic. There is no need for Chen Zhuyu to stay here. Chu Yu wants her to go to Beijing to see if there are any other businesses she can do.
Don't put all your money in one basket. When people have money, they want to invest in many things and diversify their investments.
"Can Shulan manage all this by herself?"
Shulan was alright. "I'm fine. Chu Yu's concerns are valid. Deyang is a small place after all. The future depends on big cities. If you see any new projects you like, remember to involve me. I'll definitely invest a share."
The three of them agreed to this.
The garment factory in Chuyu adopted an assembly line model, which is rare in the country. This greatly improves efficiency. In addition, labor is cheap these days, and the technology is good. Chuyu introduced an incentive system last year.
Not only do they offer various benefits and rewards to their female employees, but they also provide them with opportunities for promotion. Every month, one outstanding female employee is selected to participate in night school training, and all costs are borne by the store.
Once the female workers' designs are adopted by headquarters, they receive corresponding rewards and commissions.
The team culture is great.
Before the Lunar New Year, Chu Yu gave each person a red envelope and also asked Shu Lan to purchase rice, flour, cooking oil, fruit and other holiday gifts.
On the 28th day of the Lunar New Year, the clothing store and fabric store were almost sold out, and the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop had run out of rice and flour. After cleaning up, they prepared to close the shop and go home for the New Year.
"Boss, when will you open next year?" A regular customer asked as he passed by while picking up his grandson to watch a movie.
Deng Fangping wiped her sweat and replied with a smile, "It will be at least the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. This year, my child is coming back from university for winter vacation, so we should give him some good nutrition. We've been working hard all year, so a few more days won't make a difference."
The customer smiled and said, "Isn't that right? The top scholar is very smart, so he needs to eat something good to nourish himself. I'll come over on the seventh day of the new year."
Shanguan Village is almost unchanged from when Chu Yu left. The newly built tile-roofed house of Uncle Shu's family is quite spacious. This year, conditions are good, and Deng Fangping made five cotton quilts, which are especially warm to cover the body. The sheets and quilt covers are also new.
Uncle Shu also had a set of furniture made. These days, how many rural families have such complete furniture?
In Chu Yu's room alone, there was a bed, wardrobe, bookcase, and desk. The walls were also decorated with paintings according to the decoration plan Chu Yu gave him. It wasn't particularly stylish, but in this era, it was definitely refreshing.
The period before the Lunar New Year is the busiest. Deng Fangping bought all the chickens, ducks, geese, pork, and vegetables, while Shu Hui was busy making steamed buns, mantou, and flatbreads. She hung up cured meat and sausages to air dry and marinated the fish. Once the aroma of the steamed buns wafted out, the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year was ready.
