Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Rushing to the Northwest
In this way, Huo Yingyu joined the Hongmian Garment Factory.
She'd often heard those trashy people at Dinghao Garment Factory say that Hongmian Garment Factory was run by two women and a cowardly man. As a woman herself, she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with women running a factory. On the contrary, she thought it was a real achievement that two women could make the factory so successful.
This is actually the reason why she chose to apply for a job at Hongmian Garment Factory.
Knowing that she had resigned, several factories actually came to her, but Huo Yingyu no longer wanted to hear such nonsense as "What can a woman do?", so she took the initiative and ran to the Hongmian Garment Factory.
After entering the factory, Huo Yingyu knew that she had made the right decision.
She really likes the atmosphere of Hongmian Garment Factory.
The bosses are humble and the staff are mostly young people. The atmosphere is very relaxed, but besides being relaxed, they are also full of enthusiasm. Almost everyone talks about "becoming bigger and stronger" and they are full of energy when they go to work every day.
What surprised Huo Yingyu even more was that after changing factories, her salary not only did not decrease, but actually increased a lot, and was even more than when she was working at Dinghao Garment Factory.
Her family had been somewhat displeased with her sudden resignation and job change, but now they were silent. Ultimately, work is all about the paycheck. Even a big-name garment factory can't make a living; real money is far more important than empty reputation.
Moreover, Huo Yingyu also discovered that her high salary was not due to her extensive experience in the industry and her own channels. Of course, this factor was certainly present, but it was definitely not the only reason.
In fact, the overall wage level of Hongmian Garment Factory is higher than that of Dinghao Garment Factory.
Even the wages of workshop workers are higher than those of Dinghao Garment Factory.
The original standard was high, and with the recent overtime work, the overtime pay and various subsidies have made it even higher.
No wonder.
Huo Yingyu had also heard that since the beginning of this year, Hongmian Garment Factory had been poaching people everywhere, and they had actually poached quite a few skilled craftsmen and machinists.
With such high salary standards, it's really not surprising that they can poach people.
Even after she joined the company, the legendary "coward" Deputy Director Liu hinted to her that if she could help recruit talents from Dinghao, the factory would give her a certain amount of "introduction fee".
Huo Yingyu didn't care about the introduction fee. After observing the situation of the factory, she confirmed that the factory could definitely "grow bigger and stronger" as several factory leaders said, and thought it would be a good idea to introduce a good career path to her former colleagues and subordinates.
The leadership is united, visionary and capable, the workers are hardworking and down-to-earth, there are almost no problems, there are well-known designers to support them, and the young designers are also full of talent... If a factory like this can't be built, what other factory can be built?
Just a few days after joining the company, Huo Yingyu's long-dormant ambition was aroused. He quickly contacted some sales channels he was familiar with, and also contacted some old friends and colleagues. While helping Hongmian to open up channels, he also wielded a hoe to poach people.
That evening, in a small restaurant nearby.
The restaurant was owned by Deputy Section Chief Huang's wife, and they'd always arranged meals and gatherings there. The restaurant only had one private room, and most of the time, it was occupied by Huo Yingyu and the others.
"Hey, Chief Huo was too impulsive in doing this. At least if he endures for another ten years, he will retire." Old friend A sighed, holding a cigarette in his hand.
Deputy Section Chief Huang rubbed his face and said, "Don't talk about this when someone shows up. Everyone knows Section Chief Huo's temper. She's actually been putting up with those people for years. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. If she has any difficulties, we must do our best to help her wherever we can."
"Actually, if she just lowers her head, it's not impossible for her to go back to the factory..."
Old Buddy B had just finished speaking when Deputy Section Chief Huang's wife pushed the door open, placed a tray on the table, and said, "Why should Sister Yingyu bow down to those ruthless people? It's not like Sister Yingyu can't find a job. There are plenty of people out there who want to hire her. Why should she give in?"
Old friend B wants to ask, can the Hongmian Garment Factory be compared with Dinghao?
But when he looked up and saw the person coming in from outside, he swallowed his words back.
Huo Yingyu walked in with a smile: "That's right, it would be best if I didn't go back. Not only will I not go back myself, I'm also going to persuade you to resign and go to Hongmian."
Several people in the private room looked at each other in disbelief. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes and expressions revealed one message: How is this possible? They must be crazy to leave Dinghao and go to Hongmian's small workshop.
More than an hour later.
The few people who had originally vowed that they would never leave Dinghao and go to Hongmian looked at each other in bewilderment.
Old buddy B wondered from the bottom of his heart, "They're just a small workshop. How can they offer such high wages? They can't sustain themselves with such high wages. Will they go bankrupt soon?"
Huo Yingyu smiled and shook her head, and told them the revenue data of Hongmian Garment Factory in the last month. Several loud gasps were soon heard in the room.
Deputy Section Chief Huang was incredulous: "They're almost halfway to the best!"
The problem is that the scale of Hongmian Garment Factory is less than one-tenth of the best one!
You can imagine how good the factory’s performance is!
The efficiency is good, but there are few people. How can the salary not be high?
Then, Huo Yingyu casually dropped a bombshell: "The ones we're selling right now are actually autumn and early winter styles. I believe the winter clothes we're going to have will sell even better. We have two very, very, very beautiful styles."
By using the word "very" three times in a row, anyone can tell that Huo Yingyu likes these two styles.
The others looked at each other again.
They all knew Huo Yingyu. She was not as self-righteous as Section Chief Ge or Section Chief Jia. Even though the factory had deliberately promoted Deputy Section Chief Huang and sidelined her over the years, she had not lost her professionalism and was still very sensitive to the market.
What's more, she herself is a woman who knows how to dress, so the clothes she likes will definitely be liked by many lesbians.
Hongmian Garment Factory has become quite popular recently, especially its windbreaker, which has been selling like hotcakes. Many factories are secretly copying its designs, and even the best factories are copying its designs.
It’s hard to imagine that this windbreaker would sell better than this one.
Windbreakers can still be copied slowly, but winter clothes will be impossible to copy by then, and the earliest will be next year. This means that if Hongmian Garment Factory can really launch a popular winter coat, it may be able to directly leapfrog and upgrade, expand and grow.
hiss.
With high wages and good prospects, this kind of factory might be no worse than the best.
…
Things have been going badly for Dinghao Garment Factory lately. The corduroy jackets that they had high hopes for didn't sell well, and they didn't know what to do with the fabrics piled up in the warehouse. At this critical juncture, Huo Yingyu resigned.
Just resign. The factory can still operate without her, Huo Yingyu.
But not long after, three more people resigned from the sales department, one of whom was Section Chief Huang, who replaced Huo Yingyu.
Suddenly, the sales department fell apart.
Originally, everyone thought that the people in the sales department were just relying on the previous channels to make a living. Isn’t it just about keeping in touch with the people in the original channels, treating them to meals and giving them gifts? Who wouldn’t do it?
But after the sales department fell apart, they found that treating people to meals and giving gifts was not that simple. When they called and people heard it was a stranger, they would ask why the original salesperson didn't contact him.
When they heard that the original salesperson had resigned, they immediately started to make excuses and complain, saying that everyone used to know each other and it was easy to communicate if there was anything, but now someone else has replaced them and no one knows them, so they should get to know each other first.
How do you get familiar with it first? Of course you have to eat, and not just one or two meals, but drink for three consecutive days.
As a result, the business didn't make much progress, but a few people got drunk and got sick.
Production stagnated, sales were blocked, and the factory was in chaos.
The leaders discussed it over and over again, and finally slammed the table and decided to take drastic measures. They sold the fabrics in the warehouse at a low price, purchased a new batch of fabrics, and created a new hit product!
Regardless of whether a hit product can be created, the materials in the warehouse were sold at a price lower than the cost price.
There was no way around it. Their peers all knew that their coats weren't selling well, and there weren't many people willing to take over this batch of fabrics.
As a result, not long after that, people from Dinghao Garment Factory discovered that Hongmian Garment Factory had launched a new style, a liver-red corduroy jacket, a short top, a thin leather belt, and a gray umbrella skirt, which was extremely fashionable.
Well, it’s a hit again.
After finding out that this fabric was resold from their factory through a middleman, the people at Dinghao Garment Factory were almost furious.
Just as the autumn wind blew and the leaves began to turn yellow, and the leaders of Dinghao Garment Factory were so angry that they couldn't eat, Liu Mianmian boarded a train heading far to the northwest.
This train journey is even longer than the one from Nancheng to Guangzhou, and you will have to spend almost a week on the train.
Liu Mianmian brought a stack of various magazines and newspapers bought from Guangzhou, and Yu Guodong brought a few books bought from Guangzhou. The two of them used the carriage as a study. Except for eating and sleeping, they spent most of their time reading books, magazines and newspapers.
During the time in Guangzhou, Liu Mianmian did a lot of things. She sorted out the organizational structure, rules and regulations of the Hongmian Garment Factory and built a rough framework for the garment factory. It can be said that even if the garment factory expands to the scale of Dinghao in the future, there will be no problem.
In addition, he naturally discussed with the people in the design department the clothing styles for the end of the year and even next spring. He gave some suggestions to Deng Ailin and simply assigned tasks to the other people. After completing the tasks, they were free to do whatever they wanted.
In addition, new models are selling well during this period and the factory is constantly recruiting new people. Jiang Hongmei and Liu Anmin are very busy, so she naturally has to help.
In addition to lending a hand, Yu Guodong also did a lot of things.
The most important thing was to find several big orders for the cannery.
At first, it was Fang Yunyun's brother's lunch box stall, and then Brother Fang introduced some restaurant owners. Later, he simply signed an agreement with Brother Fang, handing over all the sales in the area near the garment factory to Brother Fang, making Brother Fang the agent of the cannery.
Through this method, Yu Guodong negotiated with several agents in other districts of Guangzhou City. It was temporarily agreed that the goods would be shipped every two months. After the goods arrived, he would ask someone to deliver them to them separately.
The warehouse was temporarily borrowed from a garment factory. It was a small place that was originally used to store miscellaneous items.
As for the delivery people, it is even simpler. They only deliver goods once every two months. There are many family members of garment factory employees who are willing to earn this money.
Because the order volume had suddenly increased so much, Yu Guodong had already called back and asked Yu Guoliang to quickly find a way to purchase a production line. No matter whether it was old or new, expensive or cheap, they could afford it now!
During this trip, Yu Guodong truly felt the vastness of the outside world and the inadequacy of his own vision and ability.
Fortunately, his parents attached great importance to studying and sent all three of them to middle school. Although he did not study hard at first, he at least graduated from junior high school. In those days, his academic qualifications were not considered low, so he had no problem reading some books on his own.
Yu Guodong is working harder now than when he was taking the high school entrance exam.
After all, he knew that he would not pass the exam, so he did not try too hard. But now he feels that he has to work hard. The Hongmian Garment Factory is planning to find a new factory to expand its scale, and their cannery must not fall behind!
Their state of mind stunned the other four people in the car. One sister-in-law, who was with her children, would tell her teenager every day, "Look how hard those older brothers and sisters are working. You should learn from them."
The teenager looked worried, but no matter how reluctant he was, he had to take out the textbook from his bag.
Perhaps because she read books and newspapers every day, her life was quite fulfilling. When the train arrived at the station, Liu Mianmian actually had the illusion that "the train is actually quite fast."
I walked out of the station carrying a lot of bags, and from a distance I saw a thin and tall figure standing outside the exit.
In the blink of an eye, after not seeing each other for a few months, Shen Weizhou looked a little darker and thinner. Liu Mianmian went to greet him and smiled at him: "Hey, who is this thin, dark and good-looking young man?"
Shen Weizhou laughed and reached out to grab her wrist: "Who are you talking about?"
Liu Mianmian also smiled and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear: "Of course it's Brother Weizhou."
Shen Weizhou turned his head and looked at her deeply, then pulled her away and said, "Let's go back."
The couple walked away hand in hand, leaving Yu Guodong, who was left behind with his bags, "..."
Of course, you can't enter the research base, but there are a few houses outside the base that are specially for family members who come to visit to live in.
Shen Weizhuo had already booked two rooms. Yu Guodong put Liu Mianmian's luggage in the room, took the key and went back to his own room.
Instead of watching the couple being so affectionate here, you might as well go back and read some more books!
As he expected, the couple stayed together until dark, then came out hand in hand to find Yu Guodong to have dinner together.
There are not many restaurants nearby, and there is only a small canteen for eating. It is not yet the end of the year when the most people come to visit relatives, so there are not many people eating in the small canteen.
Yu Guodong also got the hang of it. When he bought his meal, he started talking to the chef in the canteen. While chatting, he took out a can from his shoulder bag and handed it to the chef.
Shen Weizhou glanced back, then turned to look at Liu Mianmian: "Second brother, what's this?"
Liu Mianmian laughed and said, "Isn't that impressive? He's incredibly shameless now. Earlier on the train, he was even trying to sell canned goods to other passengers. Anyway, everyone in our carriage, no matter where they are, now knows the name of our cannery."
Liu Mianmian couldn't help but sigh. If this continued, her dream of making a small profit by lying down might come true soon.
Shen Weizhou stuffed chopsticks into her hand and said calmly: "It's not bad. Big brother and second brother can really exercise well. It's a good time for you to take a break."
Liu Mianmian tilted her head and looked at his serious expression, thinking that others didn't know and might think how hard she worked when they heard this.
Of course it is hard work. Starting a business is always stressful and time-consuming.
But the work she does usually requires her mouth and brain, so it's not that hard.
Yu Guodong stayed in the northwest for three days. During this time, he not only got the chef of the small canteen and signed a small order with him, but also took a trip to Yecheng, the county closest to the base, and found an agent by the way.
The land in the northwest is barren and there are relatively few varieties of vegetables, so canned vegetables have a broad market here.
Three days later, Liu Mianmian and Shen Weizhuo sent the person onto the train together.
Yu Guodong waved his hand and ran quickly into the carriage. He had been out for quite a while and was eager to return to Nancheng.
Of course, another reason was that he really felt a little redundant here.
He also has a wife, so go home and find his wife!
