Chapter 226

Qin Xiang's design won the special prize, which was the first among domestic college students.

Professor Sun brought the good news into the classroom early in the morning and shared it with everyone.

In addition to Qin Xiang's special prize, Zhao Wenna's design also won the second prize. Professor Sun said happily, "The other winners are all seniors and juniors. Only you two are sophomores and have achieved such achievements. It's amazing."

Then Professor Sun passed the newspaper to the students in the class and said, "Also, the award ceremony will be this Saturday. You need to go and receive the award." As soon as

Professor Sun finished speaking, the class was in an uproar. No matter where they went to receive the award, they were excited enough to know that one of them won the special prize.

Qin Xiang was calm and asked, "Where do we go to receive the award? Will it delay our final exams?"

She asked this because the final exams would start next Monday, and the winter vacation would come after the final exams. Qin Xiang was a little surprised why they chose this time, it would be better to choose during the winter vacation.

"The award ceremony is in Haicheng, but the winners will receive other rewards this time." Professor Sun deliberately kept it a secret, "Why don't you guess?"

The students all laughed and urged Qin Xiang and Zhao Wenna to guess.

Zhao Wenna has been mouthing the same words since she knew she won the first prize. She asked directly, "Prize?"

"There is already a prize." Professor Sun looked at Qin Xiang happily, "Student Qin Xiang, guess. A better reward than a prize."

Qin Xiang thought for a while, "Participate in a fashion show?"

Professor Sun laughed, "What are you doing, kid, so smart? Even an old man like me couldn't keep it a secret. It's a fashion show. Guess where this fashion show is."

This is the right guess. Qin Xiang is also very happy. There are still very few fashion shows in China. Previously, a foreigner held a fashion show at the Great Wall. Although it caused a great sensation, it didn't make a big splash because the clothes didn't fit the domestic situation.

So will this fashion show be in Haicheng?

Professor Sun shook his head, "You guessed wrong."

Qin Xiang really couldn't think of it.

Zhao Wenna said, "The capital?"

"No." Professor Sun said regretfully, "Although the capital is the political and cultural center, there is still a certain gap between it and Haicheng in terms of clothing development. You can think about which clothing is the most popular in the market in recent years."

Then Professor Sun began to hint, "And this matter is also somewhat related to Qin Xiang's personal affairs."

Qin Xiang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood, "Hong Kong City."

Professor Sun nodded, "Yes, Hong Kong City, and the time is January 22nd, which is exactly the winter vacation. You can go there without wasting time, but the time is a little tight."

Now, let alone Qin Xiang and Zhao Wenna, other students were also shocked.

Envy, envy, needless to say, just envy.

Zhao Wenna was shaking with excitement, "I, I, I, I, do I still have a chance to go to Gangcheng?"

Professor Sun nodded, "Yes, Zhao Wenna, you are a very good student, but your vision is still not enough. The teacher hopes that you will study hard with Qin Xiang this time, learn from each other's strengths and overcome your weaknesses, and design more clothes that suit our national conditions." Professor

Sun was not worried about Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang had vision and courage. Putting these aside, that was the base camp of her target. Although she might meet the Jiang family in Gangcheng, as far as Professor Sun knew, Qin Xiang's target looked at her closely and would never let Qin Xiang meet those bad people.

But Zhao Wenna is different. She is a phoenix that flew out of the countryside and is also a rare talent. Professor Sun and Professor Tan like Zhao Wenna very much and were very worried when they learned about this.

Zhao Wenna nodded excitedly, "Professor, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."

Professor Sun nodded with satisfaction, "The teachers all believe in you."

After encouraging Zhao Wenna, Professor Sun said to other students, "You will all become talents in China's clothing industry. The hope for the development of China's clothing industry lies in you. Maybe you don't have the opportunity to go out and see the world this time, but one day, the teacher hopes that you can all go out and see. Maybe foreign clothing is not suitable for us now, but we should learn from their advantages. Only by learning from their strengths and making up for their weaknesses can we develop better."

"Although our domestic clothing design profession has not really flourished, but looking at Hong Kong and Guangzhou, I know that this industry is not far from development. Your classmate Qin Xiang has already seized this opportunity to become her own boss. I believe she is also optimistic about the clothing industry, isn't she?"

Qin Xiang nodded, stood up and said, "Yes, with the reform and opening up, all walks of life and every household in the country have ushered in great development. With better living conditions, everyone will think about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food can be worse, after all, no one knows whether you eat well or not at home, but clothes are different. They represent the mental outlook of a person or even a family, and are related to face. So everyone has high requirements for clothing."

After she said this, a classmate asked, "Why are many domestic clothing factories going downhill?"

"Because the design is not good." Qin Xiang smiled, "Because the design is not good-looking, the market does not accept it. Customers are the group that can give the best feedback on whether our design is good or not."

"But many factories also have college students like us."

Qin Xiang asked, "Then do you think that our college students will be immediately reused when they go to the design department of the factory?"

Everyone spoke up.

Some people may not understand, thinking that after all, there are still few college students, and they will be treated as a favor in any factory. But some people also know the seniors who graduated before, and can understand some inside information.

Some people laughed at themselves and said, "So what if we are college students? Sometimes, it is not as important as seniority."

"Yes, some people rely on their seniority to exclude college students, saying that we have no experience and do not give us opportunities. Who cares whether our designs are good or bad?"

This made many people silent, because many people have learned a little about the cruelty of society from their seniors. Although they are only sophomores, time will pass quickly and it will be their turn soon.

No one is not afraid of not being able to find a job.

Qin Xiang comforted him, "Not all factories are like this. We can look at the bright side. The times are changing. As long as we work hard and change the status quo, we will definitely have opportunities to develop. The clothing industry is an industry that is developing and progressing for a long time. If you can't keep up with the times, you will always be eliminated. If you don't want to be eliminated, you have to change, and we designers are the key figures to change the status quo. We should have confidence in ourselves, stick to our original intentions, design better works that follow the trend of the times, and when the market needs us, we can come up with suitable works in time to prove to the times and society that we are right."

Professor Sun agreed. "Yes, we must be full of confidence in the future. We can't stop moving or go back just because we see a stone blocking the road ahead. We have to move the stone away to make the road unobstructed. We may encounter difficulties now, but as long as we cater to market demand, there will be opportunities for development."

Qin Xiang nodded, "You are right. I have been optimistic about the clothing industry since I started working in this industry. My future plan is to open a factory and set up my own design department. If my classmates want to come to my place in the future, I dare not say anything else, as long as the design is good, we can put it into production." After

speaking, the students in the class laughed immediately.

Whether this is true or false, it is enough to move people. The inner anxiety and fear for the future were also reduced a lot. Instead, they became a little excited because of Qin Xiang's words.

Qin Xiang was right. The times are developing. Because of the needs of the clothing industry, their profession came into being. Since there is a demand, they will naturally have a day to shine.

Some people even thought that Qin Xiang said that she would open a factory in the future. At worst, they could go to Qin Xiang to apply for a job. With such a boss, they must be able to give full play to their strengths.

Everyone knows Qin Xiang's ability. She said so, so it must be good.

Only Professor Sun looked at Qin Xiang meaningfully, thinking that this student was really a thief, advertising for him in disguise and extending an olive branch in advance.

The current situation of domestic clothing factories is indeed not very good. Maybe someone will be dissatisfied with the factory's arrangement and transfer to Qin Xiang.

Because of the special nature of the major, adjustments were made in the freshman year, and those who really didn't want to study were transferred to other majors. The remaining thirty or so people are all top students in the country, and they all work hard. In the future, they will not be all talents when they enter the society.

Qin Xiang is a self-employed person, and he will be a private boss when he runs a factory in the future. If he can attract a few classmates to come, his reputation will be spread.

What a smart child.

Within one morning, the news that Qin Xiang and Zhao Wenna won the award spread in the school. A senior student won the third prize and came to make an appointment with Qin Xiang and the others to take the train to Haicheng together on Thursday.

Qin Xiang originally wanted to take Zhao Wenna there by train, but now it was no longer possible. It was not good for them to go alone, so they had to go together.

When they returned home in the evening, Qin Xiang told Meng Huaiqing about it.

Meng Huaiqing was startled, "Going to Haicheng?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, to Haicheng."

Meng Huaiqing tapped his fingers on the table and said after a while, "My father and Jiang Yuqiang are in Haicheng."

"Are you worried that I will run into them?" Qin Xiang smiled. "I don't think the chance of meeting is high. Haicheng is so big. Our award ceremony is in the city's cultural center. We have to take the train back that night, so we don't have time to wander around."

She is actually very interested in Haicheng and wants to open a branch, but she is short of staff. Her studies are the priority. She has to find time to look around this time to see if there is a suitable place to open a branch. If it is feasible, she will let Tan Xiu lead the team to open a new store next year, and let others recruit people.

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Well, I hope we won't run into them. If we do, don't be afraid. They don't dare to do anything in the mainland."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

Meng Huaiqing thought

for a while and said, "We must bring Zhao Ping with us." "Not only Zhao Ping, I will also bring He Liping." Qin Xiang said, "When I don't have time, they can go out and have a look to see if there is a suitable place."

Meng Huaiqing immediately understood what she meant, "You want to open a branch."

"Of course, Haicheng is close to the port, and the economy is developing well. It will definitely be better in the future. I have to act first." Speaking of this, Qin Xiang thought of Pengcheng again. She asked Meng Huaiqing, "Have you been to Pengcheng?"

"Of course." Meng Huaiqing smiled, "To be honest, this is not my first time to open a property."

Qin Xiang understood what he said, "You also built a property in Yangcheng? I remember that most of the properties there are for people from Hong Kong."

"Yes, they are sold to people from Hong Kong." Meng Huaiqing smiled, "I made a lot of money."

Qin Xiang rubbed her fingers twice and couldn't help but envy.

The boss is really rich, but it's a pity that she doesn't have that much money, otherwise she would want to go to Pengcheng to bid for a piece of land.

It would be great if she could get rich quickly.

Looking at Meng Huaiqing, Qin Xiang thought of the stock market in Gangcheng again. She was not completely ignorant of the stock market. After all, she participated in the listing of Wang Junsheng's company in her previous life. In order not to be fooled, she studied with Wang Junsheng and specially found capable people to give them lectures. At that time, she talked about the development of the stock market in Gangcheng. She also talked about the stocks with the strongest development potential in the past two years.

In fact, there are now stock exchanges in China. Qin Xiang had never touched this before because she felt that the risk of stock speculation was too great, and it was better to do industry in a down-to-earth manner.

But now the development is getting faster and faster. The housing prices in Pengcheng will not be worse than those in the capital in the future. At this time, the development of Pengcheng is not as fast as in the future, and the land price is also cheap.

Qin Xiang said faintly, "The land you bought is cheap, right?"

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "It's not expensive."

Then he gave Qin Xiang a number.

Qin Xiang became even more jealous, "I want to buy it too."

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Buy it."

Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, "I don't have money."

Meng Huaiqing laughed, "Make money."

Qin Xiang pouted and said, "I will go to Gangcheng to participate in the fashion show during the winter vacation. It's a reward for winning a prize."

"That's great."

Qin Xiang snorted, "Then if I go to your site, you have to show your appreciation?"

"Of course." Meng Huaiqing sighed, "It's a pity that I can't accompany you."

Qin Xiang was surprised, "You won't go back for the New Year?"

Meng Huaiqing shook his head, "Go back, but not until the end of the year."

Qin Xiang didn't feel disappointed, just nodded and said, "That's fine, I plan to go and see if I can buy some stocks in Gangcheng."

Meng Huaiqing was amused, "You want to trade stocks too?"

When Qin Xiang called him to remind him before, he guessed that Qin Xiang knew about stocks. Although he didn't know where she, a girl from the countryside, learned this, he couldn't deny that she knew.

So Qin Xiang didn't doubt it and just asked, "Do you have any stocks you like?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course I do."

This is the benefit of her rebirth. Under the condition that the overall environment has not changed, Qin Xiang knows which stocks will continue to rise and when they will reach the top.

It seems that she really needs to go there.

Qin Xiang said, "Anyway, no matter what, you must sell it before October, at the latest before mid-October."

Meng Huaiqing was stunned. He didn't expect her to bring up the old matter again. He really wanted to ask something. This was unreasonable everywhere. When the stock market was rising rapidly, everyone hoped that the price would go higher and higher, and few people were willing to sell.

But there were too many mysteries about Qin Xiang. Meng Huaiqing knew that boyfriends and girlfriends should maintain intimacy but also keep their distance, and everyone has secrets. As long as he knew that Qin Xiang was doing it for his own good, it would be fine.

Playing stocks was not his main business, and even if Qin Xiang was wrong, it would not matter if he made less money. What if Qin Xiang was right?

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "I remember everything."

Qin Xiang was relieved to see that he did not ask too many questions. He could not tell him that she was reborn and knew about the Hong Kong stock market crash in her previous life.

The stock market crash in 1987 was not limited to Hong Kong. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong became poor overnight. It is said that there were a lot of people jumping off buildings in Hong Kong during that period, and some even fought to occupy the high-rise buildings where people jumped off.

In short, it was horrible.

Even if Meng Huaiqing didn't need that much money, it would be better to get out of it in time.

She only planned to make a quick buck and try to buy a piece of land in the capital or Pengcheng. Whether she resold it or built a house and sold it, it was a stable business.

Qin Xiang made up her mind and had to ask He Liping about the funds in her account. The branches in other places would deposit the cash flow into the bank every day, and then collect it all on Friday afternoon and hand it over to the finance department for processing.

He Liping is now Qin Xiang's assistant, doing all kinds of work. After the financial affairs are processed, the report will be handed over to He Liping, who will then send it to Qin Xiang for inspection and signature.

Since the time of travel has been determined, Qin Xiang simply asked the two seniors to buy tickets for them. Zhao Ping went to buy tickets, and together with Professor Sun who led the team, the six people in the group all bought sleeper tickets.

The journey from the capital to Haicheng is long, but fortunately, the two places have a special geographical location, and direct trains have been opened in the early years, which saves the trouble of reversing halfway.

Early on Thursday morning, Zhao Ping rented a car and drove everyone directly to the train station.

Thanks to them for buying sleeper tickets, when passing by the hard seat compartment and seeing the people inside, the senior student's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "I originally thought it would be ok to buy a hard seat, but I didn't expect there would be so many people going to Haicheng. Although it is winter, it is too uncomfortable to squeeze in."

Compared with the hard seat compartment, the hard sleeper compartment is much better. If Qin Xiang was not embarrassed, he would have wanted to buy a soft sleeper.

But it's not bad, and people should be content.

It takes 23 hours to get from the capital to Haicheng by train. If you leave in the morning, you will not arrive until early tomorrow morning.

As the train started, Professor Sun took out a book and said, "Come on, let's have today's class."
