Chapter 114

Qin Xiang does have some savings now, and she just borrowed 100,000 yuan from the bank, so she is not short of money. However, if she uses this money to build a factory and run a factory, it will be a little disappointing.

A factory, machines, personnel, etc. cannot be completed overnight, and she does not have the ability to do so for the time being.

Therefore, before she establishes her own brand, she can only rely on buying goods from other factories for her store. And this kind of relationship is not stable. After all, anyone who sees making money will be greedy, and it is hard to guarantee that the Zhibin brothers will still be as harmonious as they are now.

Then she has to find a way to stabilize this relationship.

Her ability is a good weapon.

Qin Xiang thought for a moment and smiled, "Director Guan, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible. Can you tell me?"

Guan Zhihong now has a good impression of Qin Xiang. She feels that she is at least not a pretty face, so she is curious now. "You tell me."

Qin Xiang took out the notebook she carried with her and showed it to Guan Zhibin. "Although I have just learned fashion design, I have designed some of my own because I love this industry. I designed these after reading a lot of Hong Kong fashion information. What do you think?"

The dress above is an autumn and winter style. The style is novel and it is particularly figure-flattering.

As a person who has been in the clothing business for so many years, Guan Zhihong thought this skirt was good at first sight. "Did you design this too?"

Qin Xiang nodded. "I have many designs like this in my book. Although it is a little immature, I believe it can be put on the shelves for sale after some modifications."

Guan Zhihong's eyes became more serious. "Tell me what you think."

Qin Xiang said, "My idea is very simple. I don't sell to the factory, I give it to the factory, but my requirement is that once the factory produces the clothes I designed, the first batch must be supplied to me first. If the quantity is large and I can't handle it, I can distribute it to other people." After

she finished speaking, Guan Zhibin was also surprised and looked at Guan Zhihong. "Brother, the clothes she designed have the flavor of Hong Kong City. The style and design are very good. Even if the second batch is put on the shelves, there will be no worries about sales."

Guan Zhihong glanced at him and felt that her cousin was a little outgoing, but she couldn't deny Qin Xiang. The design is good and very youthful. Having been in the clothing business for so many years and having been exposed to magazines in Hong Kong, he naturally knows what kind of clothes are in line with market development. If he doesn't even have this vision, this clothing factory would not be able to stand out and remain standing when many clothing factories are going downhill. He praised, "It's really good. Let me think about it."

As the factory director, of course he is thinking about the development of the factory. For a large factory like theirs, there are so many partners, and many styles are decided as soon as the samples come out. It is indeed a problem for Qin Xiang to get the first batch of goods.

Qin Xiang said, "But you also know that my business is still in its infancy. Even with such a request, do you think my first batch of goods can be a lot? Compared with many units, it is estimated to be a drop in the bucket."

Guan Zhihong thought for a long time and felt that Qin Xiang was right. If the pattern is good-looking, the production can be increased based on the quantity Qin Xiang wants. Moreover, as a small individual business, even if it is wholesale, it is estimated that it will not take much. Isn't it up to them to decide how to distribute the rest?

"Okay, I agree."

Qin Xiang nodded, looked at the samples one by one, and then tore off the appropriate clothes that could be matched and handed them to Guan Zhihong. Of course, she couldn't give all of them to Guan Zhihong. Although she would sign an agreement, the effectiveness was questionable. It would be better to give a few design drafts every quarter, so that it could last for a long time.

There are fewer styles of clothes in autumn and winter, but this combination doubles the number of styles. Qin Xiang said, "If you think it's suitable, please produce it as soon as possible. I will see the goods in mid-October at the latest."

The wholesale market will be on sale in mid-October. If she can't get it, she will open a wholesale department in the storefront. Anyway, there is a yard. She will have someone build a house as a warehouse when she returns. Anyway, she doesn't plan to live in the yard herself.

Guan Zhihong nodded, "Okay, confirm the quantity of goods you want, and I can arrange to cut the samples and put them into production immediately."

After looking at the samples, Qin Xiang followed Guan Zhihong and his brother to the factory director's office to discuss the price of various styles.

What surprised Qin Xiang was that Guan Zhibin did not hide how much he got in the middle, which made her have a better impression of Guan Zhibin.

Among these clothes, the most expensive is the woolen coat, followed by the ski jacket, and the sweater and pants are cheap. Even the clothes that Qin Xiang drew for matching were priced on the spot. And because it was her design, Guan Zhihong also gave some special discounts, which made Qin Xiang a little surprised.

Since it is a wholesale, the quantity cannot be small. Autumn and winter clothes are thick and take up space, so the factory will arrange a car to deliver them to the north. After the

price negotiation, the agreement was signed and the official seal was stamped. Qin Xiang went to the finance department to pay a deposit for part of the goods. Only then did she feel relieved.

After finishing the discussion, Guan Zhibin said, "I'll treat you tonight, and we'll have dinner together. This time, it's just us."

Guan Zhihong felt a little embarrassed because of the quarrel between Director Cai and Director Sun yesterday. Tonight's banquet was an apology.

With Zhao Ping here today, Qin Xiang was no longer worried and readily agreed.

Guan Zhihong was a decent person, and he was also devoted to the development of the factory, which was different from Director Sun and his ilk. Qin Xiang didn't need to knock down a group of people because of a few villains.

It was already late, and Huayu could only wait until tomorrow. After

the few people came out of the factory, Guan Zhibin drove all the way to the hotel, which was not far from the factory area, and it was obvious that it was doing business in the factory area. When

they got there, Guan Zhibin finally found time to whisper, "Don't worry here, this shop is opened by my cousin."

Qin Xiang understood, that's good.

In fact, she was not really afraid, Zhao Ping was there.

When ordering, Qin Xiang met Guan Zhihong's wife, a very hot-tempered lady. Apart from looking at Qin Xiang a few more times, she was not bad.

After ordering, Guan Zhihong also asked for wine to fill Zhao Ping's glass. Zhao Ping naturally refused to drink, "I don't drink."

Guan Zhihong naturally understood his presence. He was a bodyguard and didn't drink, fearing that it would cause trouble. So he poured a little for Qin Xiang, "Although the wine is good, drinking too much can cause trouble, so let's just give a little as a token of our appreciation." Qin Xiang nodded

, "Thank you, Director Guan."

After the food came, Guan Zhihong's wife also came over to keep them company. This person was talkative and knew a little about everything, and the guests enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, Qin Xiang refused Guan Zhibin's offer to send her home again, and took a taxi back to the hotel with Zhao Ping. She

fell asleep and woke up at dawn.

Then she had breakfast and waited for Guan Zhibin to come over to go to the Huayu Clothing Factory together. She also had to go there to discuss the purchase of goods.

Fortunately, it was Qiao Guoan who entertained them instead of Director Sun, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Because they had already ordered a lot from Guan Zhihong, Huayu had less. But they also got a lot of goods from Huayu in the provincial capital, so Qiao Guoan was still very enthusiastic towards Qin Xiang.

Speaking of having dinner with Director Sun the night before, Qiao Guoan looked at her meaningfully, "Director Sun has some preferences, Miss Qin had better bring someone with her when she meets him."

This was straightforward enough, Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Qiao, but Huayu is still the most familiar to me, and I will definitely contact you first if there is anything."

This made Qiao Guoan feel relieved and his attitude improved a lot.

After the negotiation and signing of the agreement, Guan Zhibin took her to another store to look at samples.

The matter was settled.

Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Overall, this matter could be accomplished thanks to Guan Zhibin, and it was only right that he took a cut from it.

Later, she would have to trouble Guan Zhibin, "I want to buy a ticket back to the provincial capital, and I need your help."

Guan Zhibin smiled, "Okay, are you planning to go back tomorrow?"

Qin Xiang calculated the time and nodded, "Yes, I'll go back tomorrow, and tonight is fine if it's not possible."

The time was too tight, plus the two days of leave she had taken, there were only seven days left, and now two days had already been wasted. If she didn't take a plane back, she would have to go back to the capital directly.

Guan Zhibin was efficient and brought the tickets that evening. "The flight is for tomorrow afternoon. You can use the morning time to go shopping, but I don't have time in the morning."

He opened the stall at Shisanhang at three or four o'clock and closed it at ten o'clock in the morning. He had been closing early for the past two days because of Qin Xiang's matter. Qin Xiang felt bad for wasting people's time. "It doesn't matter. These two days are busy enough. Sorry to bother you, we can just go shopping by ourselves."

After parting with Guan Zhibin, Qin Xiang took out a red envelope and handed it to Zhao Ping, "Brother Zhao, we can go out for a walk tomorrow morning. You've worked hard this time. This is your bonus. You can also buy something for your family."

She heard from her third brother that Zhao Ping has two younger brothers who are still studying. His father passed away a long time ago, and his mother is in poor health. The whole family depends on Zhao Ping's salary.

Zhao Ping has been working hard since he came to Qin Xiang. He doesn't talk much. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the store to pick up goods and does a lot of hard work.

As a result, Qin Xiang handed over the red envelope, but Zhao Ping refused to take it, "The salary you give me is already very good, I can't take the bonus."

"Just take it, it's what I should do." Qin Xiang smiled and stuffed the red envelope into his hand, "Brother Zhao, I will definitely need people for my business in the future. You are a person that my third brother and I trust very much. There will be many times in the future when we will need you. Salary is salary, bonus is bonus, even Tan Xiu and others also have bonuses."

Zhao Ping was a little moved, took it and nodded, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Qin Xiang smiled, "There is nothing to do here in the provincial capital, and my third brother can also keep an eye on it. If you are willing, how about you and Xiaomi come with me to the capital?"

Zhao Ping did not hesitate and agreed immediately, "Okay, I should be where the boss is."

But Qin Xiang went to school, so she didn't let Zhao Ping follow. Now that she wants to buy a storefront in the wholesale market in the capital, she will definitely need people, and Mi Hongjun alone is not enough. She wanted her third brother to come over, but she also knew that she couldn't rely on him for everything, and he also had to look after the provincial capital.

Qin Xiang said to Zhao Ping, "There are many night schools in the capital, and there are usually not many people in the wholesale city at noon. My suggestion is that you and Xiaomi should take turns to enroll in night school and learn something. You also have to learn how to drive. You can't say when we can buy a car. Don't worry, I will pay for all this." You

can't catch a wolf without risking your child. Qin Xiang didn't feel at a loss for spending money on this. Zhao Ping has a good personality and is very down-to-earth. If she can really train people, even if she is in charge of logistics in the future, she can save a lot of trouble.

Seeing that Zhao Ping still wanted to refuse, Qin Xiang persuaded him, "I am also doing this for myself. I can trust you, but I don't necessarily trust others. Only when you become better can you do a better job for me. And it's not just you. Look, Li Ping and Tan Xiu also went for training, so don't refuse, Zhao."

After she said that, Zhao Ping didn't refuse. He was not good at speaking, but he vowed in his heart that he must do a good job.

Although he had a resettlement fund after retiring from the army, his younger brother had to go to school and his mother had to spend money on medical treatment. After a few years, most of it had been spent. If he hadn't met Qin Yang by chance and introduced him to work here, he could only do hard labor to earn some hard-earned money.

It's not like now, with good food and drink, and high wages. Who wouldn't be jealous if he told others about it?

The two of them had a good rest at night, and the next day Qin Xiang took Zhao Ping to visit Guangzhou.

Of course, they didn't dare to go far, so they just walked around here, bought some gifts for their family members, and took their luggage to the airport when the time came.

Last year, their provincial capital airport began to be put into use, and it was convenient to travel to Guangzhou.

But as the saying goes, not everyone can buy a plane ticket. Qin Xiang can't buy it even if she has money but no connections.

She didn't tell her third brother about going back in advance, and planned to make a surprise for him on the spur of the moment.

After getting on the plane and sitting down, Qin Xiang noticed that Zhao Ping was a little stiff. This stiffness became more obvious when the plane took off. Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother Zhao, are you nervous?"

Zhao Ping admitted with an embarrassed face, "Not bad."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Now we have taken off, and we will fly for several hours. It's useless for you to be so nervous. Anyway, you can't get off until you reach the destination. Why don't you be more open-minded or take a nap?"

Zhao Ping couldn't sleep at all. He sat there and forced himself to relax. "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Qin Xiang was bored sitting there, so he closed his eyes and slept for a while. He woke up halfway and couldn't sleep. He took out the notebook and started designing clothes with Bi.

Since he had agreed with Guan Zhihong on the way of future cooperation, Qin Xiang had to design clothes for himself as well as for others. But Guan Zhihong was really nice. She thought she could get a good deal by using her design, so she simply reduced the price a little bit.

Qin Xiang's trip was worth it.

After getting off the plane, Zhao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Xiang noticed that Zhao Ping's legs felt a little weak when he walked down, but he still insisted on carrying Qin Xiang's luggage bag.

When they got outside, there was naturally no one to meet them. The airport was a bit far from the city, so the two took a bus and waited for a long time before returning to the city.

After getting off the bus, the two took a tricycle and went directly to the store on the square.

It was a holiday, and there were a lot of people in the square. Before she even reached the store entrance, she could see a constant stream of people inside.

Qin Xiang was very pleased, but also a little homesick.

Seeing Grandpa Ge basking in the sun under the tree, Qin Xiang felt very friendly. She regarded this place as her home.

Grandpa Ge was talking to an old man next to him, and suddenly saw Qin Xiang and stood up.

Qin Xiang hurried over and called out, "Master Ge, how are you?"

"Why are you back?" Master Ge had a complicated expression, "Didn't you go to Guangzhou? Could it be for..."

Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"Nothing." Master Ge didn't say anything, but changed the subject, "Go back and have a rest, your third brother just came back not long ago."

Qin Xiang nodded and went in with Zhao Ping. There were many people in the store, but only Li Hongxia and He Liping were there, and Miao Xiaofeng was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing them come in, He Liping cheered and was very excited, "Sister, why are you back? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"

Her excitement was not fake at all, even the honest Li Hongxia was very happy, but she was choosing clothes with customers, so she called the boss and continued to work.

There were other guests nearby, and when they saw Qin Xiang, they all greeted her. Qin Xiang asked He Liping, "Where is Miao Xiaofeng?"

He Liping glanced upstairs and said, "She went upstairs with Brother Yang."

Qin Xiang frowned and nodded, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."

She picked up her suitcase and went upstairs in a low voice. When she reached the door, she heard voices coming from the living room.

Qin Yang said, "I told you that I should do my own work, and you don't need to come up to help. You should work hard during working hours."

After a while, Miao Xiaofeng's voice was heard, "The two of them can handle it. I'll come up to cook for you."

Qin Yang was a little annoyed, "Miao Xiaofeng, if you don't want to do it, you can just leave."

Then Miao Xiaofeng cried. Qin Xiang pushed the door open and the two people in the living room were stunned.

Qin Yang said happily, "Why are you back? Didn't you go to Guangzhou? Are you tired? Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

Qin Yang went directly to the small kitchen to cook.

Qin Xiang said loudly, "Third brother, cook more. Brother Zhao hasn't eaten yet."

Qin Yang responded happily.

Qin Xiang put down the luggage bag and looked at Miao Xiaofeng. Miao Xiaofeng lowered her head and felt a little uneasy, "Sister Xiangxiang..."

Qin Xiang interrupted her, "Call me boss."

"Boss." Miao Xiaofeng could tell that Qin Xiang was angry, and turned around and said, "I'll go busy first."

"Stop." Qin Xiang shouted, and Miao Xiaofeng became even more uneasy, "Boss, I..."

Qin Xiang began to say, "Do you know that it's working hours now? There are many customers outside, and you left your customers and ran upstairs. What do you want to do?"

Miao Xiaofeng lowered her head and said nothing.

Qin Xiang said sternly, "Speak."

"I was wrong, boss," Miao Xiaofeng knew that Qin Xiang was very disgusted with such things. Wasn't it the same thing as before, slacking off. Although she didn't think she was slacking off, it was for Qin Yang. She didn't know how Qin Xiang would look at her, "I won't do this in the future."

Qin Xiang said, "You are also an old employee. I give you a chance to make a mistake. I don't care what your reason is, I don't want it to happen again. In addition, this second floor is where my third brother and I live. It is a private territory and not within the scope of your work."

What she said can be said to be very stern. If they are in love with each other, Qin Xiang would not care about Qin Yang and Miao Xiaofeng's relationship, and might even say congratulations. But obviously not, Third Brother at least doesn't have this intention now, so Miao Xiaofeng's behavior is a bit stubborn.

Qin Xiang is a person who protects her shortcomings, but she is not a saint who has to take care of everything. If Miao Xiaofeng still doesn't change after this warning, then she can only change someone.

Although it is not so easy to recruit people, it is not impossible.

After she finished speaking, Miao Xiaofeng's face became very ugly, and she was so embarrassed and angry that she responded in a low voice and hurried downstairs.

After a while, Qin Yang brought out noodles and called Zhao Ping to come up to eat. Then he said, "I plan to hire two more employees, and let He Liping be the store manager. Or let Xiaomi watch over here while I go to the capital."

Qin Xiang shook his head, "Third brother, you can hire people, but you have to watch over here. It's not just our store, but also my fourth sister. I'll take Xiaomi and Brother Zhao to the capital. After all, it's a wholesale business, and two men have nothing to do there."

Qin Yang frowned, "I'm worried."

Qin Xiang smiled, "What's there to worry about? Have you forgotten, this is the old city, the public security is the best in the country. Our store has only been open for half a year, everything is not mature, how can I feel at ease if you leave. Wait until everything is stable here, then you can go over, okay?"

Qin Yang was helpless, "Can I still say no?"

Zhao Ping didn't say a word while the two were talking. After dinner, Zhao Ping went to the dormitory in the university town to rest.

Qin Xiang also went downstairs and entertained the customers for a while.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhao Qian and Huang Rong came over. They were naturally happy to see Qin Xiang come back. Then Qin Xiang found that Zhao Qian would go to see the third brother intentionally or unintentionally.

And Qin Yang didn't avoid it, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

Qin Xiang looked at the two of them, and suddenly he was a little suspicious.

When she glanced at Miao Xiaofeng, she saw that Miao Xiaofeng was staring at Zhao Qian. She couldn't help but frowning. This girl, this state is not good.

Matters of the heart should always be consensual, not forced. No matter how good her third brother is, she doesn't want to see her clerk chasing after a man, and a man who has no interest in her at all.

Zhao Qian has a gentle temperament. She pursed her lips and looked at Qin Xiang, "The temperature is going to drop soon, and I haven't bought any autumn clothes yet. I came here to take a look, but I didn't expect you to come back. Can you help me match two sets of clothes?" Qin Xiang

smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Zhao Qian is not tall and her appearance is not outstanding. Even though her figure is a little fatter than others, it does not reduce her temperament at all.

Since she bought the right clothes from Qin Xiang, Zhao Qian no longer buys clothes from other places. She always comes here to buy clothes. Before, Qin Xiang always matched her clothes for her. After that, she came here twice, and although the matching was good, it was always a little disappointing.

However, one time when Qin Yang was here, Qin Yang matched an outfit for Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian was quite satisfied. Originally, Zhao Qian was a little afraid of Qin Yang, but because of this incident, her opinion of Qin Yang changed, and she felt that Qin Yang was not as cold as he seemed.

As they talked more, they talked a lot. Occasionally,

even if Zhao Qian didn't buy clothes, she would come over to take a look.

Of course, most of the talk was about Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was watching from the side and found that although Zhao Qian asked her to match the clothes, her eyes glanced at her third brother.

She couldn't help laughing. Could it be that the third brother's love luck has come?
