Chapter 243

Qin Xiang was stunned when she heard this. She was thinking about the current situation faced by enterprises in the capital. Qin Xiang roughly guessed a little.

But she is not a philanthropist. She is a businessman. She first values ​​her own interests. On this basis, it is good to contribute to the country. Otherwise, she can't do anything. Moreover, the problems faced by state-owned enterprises today are not something she can solve alone. They should solve the problem of breaking down before building up.

She nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

The deputy mayor then said, "Nowadays, state-owned factories are struggling. There is a third clothing factory near the western suburbs of Xicheng. It covers a large area and has about 500 workers, all of whom are skilled workers with many years of experience. I wonder if you are interested in taking it over."

Qin Xiang was not surprised, but asked, "Public-private partnership?"

The deputy mayor did not deny it, "Ready-made machines and factory buildings, and the workers are all the most skilled workers, which are all in short supply for you. This method is also the fastest way to solve your problem, at least it can save a lot of time. If you redivide the land, build factory buildings, recruit workers and leadership teams, This is not an easy task and it takes a long time. "

Then the deputy mayor listed many advantages of public-private partnership and even suggested that Qin Xiang could operate under the third clothing factory, so that he could use the workers and machines in the factory.

Qin Xiang refused without even thinking about it, "Deputy mayor, I think this method may be good, but it is not suitable for me. "

The deputy mayor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Qin Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't know much about the Third Garment Factory, I know a lot about the current situation of many state-owned factories in China. Including the Xiangyanghong Garment Factory that I am cooperating with, there were big problems before it became a OEM for me. The management is either corrupt and only knows how to save money, or they feel that they are about to retire and are unwilling to take on any work, just muddling through. The leaders are like this, let alone the small leaders and worker teams below. Take the workers for example. There are indeed many skilled workers, but how many skilled workers retire before they are fifty so that their children can go to class? The young people who come up are really skilled workers. "Training?"

She paused and continued, "The workers are of varying quality, and many families work in the factory. Once something happens, they rush to the front line. They are not responsible for the law, and if the leadership cannot satisfy them, they will make trouble together. The leadership team is rigid in thinking and looks down on individual businesses. But the market today is not what it was ten years ago. The market is now diversified. With such a leadership team, if I take over as a public-private partnership, do you think the workers will listen to me? Who owns the management? Is it me or the original leadership team? If it belongs to them, what's the point of me spending money? If it belongs to us, can the original leadership team listen to my command?"

Qin Xiang didn't need to answer such questions at all, the answer was obvious. Not all state-owned factories are in decline. Some factories, under the leadership of their leaders, can cater to market development and gradually enter the market. The reason why the declining factories are in decline is that the factory leaders are limited to a small piece of land, their thinking is stuck in ten years ago, and bureaucracy is prevalent.

The decline is not groundless decline, but there are signs to follow.

If she took over such a factory, she would be annoyed to death just by solving the personnel problem.

Does she have time?

Of course not, she is still a sophomore student.

The deputy mayor obviously knew this and asked, "What if we register it under the third clothing factory?"

After the registration, the production and sales volume will also be counted under the third clothing factory. At least the factory can be operated, and the wages can be paid with the profit. The huge factory will not go bankrupt and the workers will not leave their jobs.

Qin Xiang still shook his head, "Deputy Mayor, I still refuse. The reason for the affiliation is that it actually belongs to the Third Garment Factory. One day, when I become successful, the leaders of the Third Garment Factory want to reap the benefits and can kick me away. In addition, such a large factory will not be without problems. Will they pass the problems on to me? If they make requests to me and I don't agree, will they block my various production requirements to threaten me?"

Hearing this, the deputy mayor sighed slightly, "It is indeed a bit troublesome."

Most of the state-owned factories in the capital city are still good, but many state-owned factories in other places have already had problems. As the mayor of the capital city, he naturally wants to eliminate this evil trend.

He actually just proposed it to see if it could be implemented, but he didn't expect the other party to think so thoroughly at such a young age.

Looking at Meng Huaiqing who didn't say a word and didn't participate, the deputy mayor finally understood how two people who had nothing in common came together.

This is a type of person, smart, sharp, and has a different vision of the market.

The deputy mayor sighed and asked, "Then how do you plan to develop your factory?"

Qin Xiang took out the agreement he had written in advance, "Please take a look."

The general content of the plan inside is similar to what Meng Huaiqing said. The government only provides land. During the period of use of Qin Xiang's factory, in addition to paying taxes every year, an additional 10% of the profit will be given to the government as a reward for the use of the land.

As for the construction of the factory, the recruitment of workers, and the purchase of machines, these all need to be solved by Qin Xiang himself.

Although this costs more, it allows the management to be firmly in one's hands.

At first glance, a 10% profit is not much, but this is a long-term process. In the future, land is indeed valuable, but at this stage, especially land in the suburbs of the city, it is really not that valuable. In addition, the piece of land that Qin Xiang likes used to be a dilapidated brick kiln factory. After it was abandoned, it was not reclaimed as farmland, and no construction was carried out on the original foundation. It was just abandoned. If Qin Xiang doesn't want it, it may continue to be abandoned for a while before it can be used.

Now, with the promotion of advertisements, her more than ten branches have very considerable sales, which is a huge fortune in the eyes of ordinary people.

Especially when state-owned factories are all going downhill, and there will be many workers laid off in the next two years, private factories that can accept workers are particularly important.

Qin Xiang said, "In addition, if it is feasible, I hope to leave enough space for me on the land there, because I may have a small area at the beginning, but I will definitely expand it later. So in terms of location, I can reserve a position to the west of the original location, so that it will not affect the planning of the urban area."

The current urban area of ​​the capital is still much smaller than it will be in a few decades, and it will definitely develop in the future. But it will not develop to the suburbs all at once.

Qin Xiang had thought it through. If the city didn't approve, she would build a factory in Pengcheng, where the policies are favorable, the government can provide support for various policies, and it is easier to recruit female workers. In recent years, many people have gone to Yangcheng, Pengcheng and other places to work, so the cost can be controlled. Even if she doesn't go to Pengcheng, it is also advantageous to build a factory in the counties and cities around the capital.

She is willing to build a factory in the capital because it is close to her branch and it is convenient to ship goods. Otherwise, she would not be happy.

While she was talking, the deputy mayor had been looking at the plan. At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and said, "Deputy mayor, you have a meeting later."

The deputy mayor nodded and said to Qin Xiang, "I'll leave this here for now and I'll give you an answer later."

Although Qin Xiang was disappointed that he didn't get an answer on the spot, he still nodded and said goodbye with Meng Huaiqing.

When they left, some leaders of the municipal government were walking towards the conference room. The deputy mayor was in charge of economic development, and as the deputy mayor of the capital, he would have a heavier responsibility.

The two of them came out in silence and got in the car. Qin Xiang asked Meng Huaiqing, "Do you think it's possible?"

Meng Huaiqing shook his head, "It's hard to say."

He paused and said, "After all, it's a factory building, which is different from a residential building. It may involve the government's future development plan. I'm worried that the location will be divided further to the west, or even to the east."

Qin Xiang frowned. That's a bit far, and it's hard to recruit workers.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Let's go back first." When

the two got home, Meng Huaiqing took out a map of the capital city. On the map, in addition to the capital, there are also surrounding counties and cities. He pointed to a place and said, "What do you think?"

The place he was talking about was a county around the capital city. It was a distance away from the capital, but the advantage was that there was a national highway passing through the county.

Meng Huaiqing only chose this place based on distance and transportation, but Qin Xiang knew that this county called Yong'an would be assigned to the capital city in the next few decades as an industrial park to attract many companies to settle in.

Later, a highway was built near here. Although it is not a large-scale transportation hub, it is also well connected and convenient to go anywhere. It is also close to the branch in Jinshi.

The most important thing is that now this is just a county town, and its economic development is not as good as the capital. As long as she comes to build a factory and proposes the same plan as the capital city, the Yong'an County Government has no reason to disagree, and may even be able to apply for a more favorable price.

As for the workers, it is entirely possible to build a dormitory for single employees in the factory area. If they want to come to work, they can live there, and it is impossible to bring their families. The salary is high and it is not too far from the capital. She doesn't believe that no one will be tempted. Even if it is cheap, Yong'an County and surrounding counties also have clothing factories, which can also absorb some workers.

The two analyzed and found that the long-term benefits of building a factory here are not worse than those of the capital city.

The capital city has a larger market and is closer to the urban area.

Qin Xiang sighed and said, "Wait for the notice from the municipal government. If it doesn't work, go to Yong'an. If Yong'an doesn't work, I will go directly to Pengcheng."

There is no doubt that Pengcheng will develop rapidly in the future. Before the New Year, she asked Zhao Ping to buy some old houses there while he had time, but it was a pity that they were not easy to find.

This year, she looked through the map and recalled the development plan of Pengcheng in her previous life. She asked Zhao Ping to go there again and bought two small courtyards. The location of the courtyards is relatively remote and the price is not expensive. After buying them, she specially asked Ma to demolish them and build a storefront. Now it is estimated that it will be completed soon. When she has time, she plans to go and take a look.

But Qin Xiang does not plan to open a branch there. There are many factories there, the quality is uneven, and the prices are very cheap. Good things cannot be sold at a high price.

The place is still under construction and the infrastructure has not yet developed. She plans to rent it out. No matter what she does, she will not lose money.

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Meng Huaiqing also agreed, "Pengcheng is closer to Gangcheng, and I plan to build my next property there."

Qin Xiang was surprised, "Have you picked out a piece of land?"

"It's basically confirmed. I went out after the Chinese New Year to discuss this matter. It will probably be confirmed in a few days." What

Meng Huaiqing didn't say was that the piece of land he was interested in was originally chosen by Jiang Licheng and his son, but he got the news in advance and intercepted it.

The Jiang Group has been in Gangcheng for too many years, and the good days for many years have made the Jiang family father and son forget that there are people outside the world. Qin Xiang vented his anger for him before, but it only ruined the reputation of the Jiang family and caused problems within the company, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the reason why it can still jump around is because they are too kind.

Qin Xiang is a kind person, but he will not forget the stupid things that the father and son did years ago.

Want to come to the mainland to harm the people of the motherland?

Forget it, let's just live in the port city.

Meng Huaiqing said again, "If nothing unexpected happens, we can basically start work during the summer vacation."

He looked at Qin Xiang, and Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "I suspect you have thought about it in advance. I will probably go there during the summer vacation."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Isn't that just right?"

The two couldn't help laughing.

Putting the map away, Qin Xiang went to perfect her plan again.

Since we are going to build a factory, whether it is just one mu of land or ten mu of land, there should be a plan.

Fortunately, the clothing factory is not like other heavy industries, and the functional departments can be simpler.

There must be a workshop for workers to work, a warehouse for storing goods, an office building, and dormitories for employees to stay.

Each item must be broken down into its own size and how big it should be and how many people it can accommodate. The warehouse must also consider the problem of shelves, and dormitories can only accommodate six or eight people, forget about single rooms.

In addition, there are also equipment for making clothes, sewing machines are indispensable, and if you make sweaters, you must have jacquard machines, etc. In addition, there are also tables for cutting clothes, and some messy and miscellaneous things, which are very troublesome to purchase.

Once a decision is made, there must be a purchasing person.

Mao Yuxiang is a ready-made talent. She has been following Xiang Yanghong's purchasing for nearly a year and has become very familiar with it. With Miao Xiaofeng and He Shengnan watching over there, there will be no problem for the time being. Mao Yuxiang was transferred back to be in charge of purchasing.

They worked until noon. After the two had lunch, Meng Huaiqing went out. Qin Xiang had a class at three o'clock and had to go out as well.

The spring breeze had already blown across the entire capital. The air in the capital was warm. Wearing a thin sweater and a coat outside was comfortable enough.

When Qin Xiang was in class, she found that the clothes worn by her classmates had also been reduced a lot, and some of the styles were quite familiar.

Meilin said excitedly, "Are you really going to hold a clothing exhibition? Then can we buy clothes?"

"Of course." Qin Xiang smiled, "As long as the customers come to the store, why would we keep them out?"

Meilin was immediately excited. Qin Xiang added, "But you have to know that the price of buying one piece is different from that of buying ten pieces, and the price of ten pieces is also different from that of buying a hundred pieces. One or two pieces can only be considered retail, and the price must be higher, unless you go to wholesale and then resell them. In this way, not only can you get cheap clothes, but you can also make money."

This is a good idea to make money, but Meilin was overwhelmed when she heard it. They, these students, were really poor before, but they were professional and lucky. If they designed well, they no longer had to hide them in their drawers like before, but could sell them to Qin Xiang for money.

In other words, they are not short of money now, at least they can make ends meet, and they want to spend their time on studying rather than making money.

Meilin's head was numb, "What a trouble, I thought I could take this opportunity to buy some clothes."

Mingchuan Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Qin Xiang's clothes are not enough for you to buy?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, yes, so sad."

Seeing this, Meilin hurriedly explained, "I actually want to buy some clothes for my mom, and the clothes you have are not suitable for my mom."

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "That's just a little short, if it doesn't work, you can buy a few more and mail them back so that she can change them, and if she doesn't want to change them, sell them."

"That's a good idea." Meilin said happily, "Then my mom will definitely sell them."

Talking about this, several people planned to go shopping when the time comes.

As time went by, more and more manufacturers came to the capital.

There were also more people in the wholesale city than before. When Qin Xiang passed by, Mi Hongjun quietly told her, "There are more people in the wholesale city recently. They just look but don't buy. Sometimes they just ask and forget it."

Qin Xiang looked at him, "What do you think?"

"What else can I think? They must want to see what the clothes in our wholesale city are like. I heard that many factories from Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places have come here this time, all of them have their eyes on the northern market."

Qin Xiang nodded, "You are right, there are only seven or eight days left, and the clothes for the exhibition must have arrived, right? In addition, each branch must also put new goods on the shelves in time, and the advertising must also follow up."

For example, advertisements for some daily necessities can use one advertisement every one or two years, but clothing cannot. The update and replacement are too fast. The advertisement before the New Year was shot for winter styles. It is not appropriate to broadcast winter styles now that it is warmer today. She has already asked Li Xiulian to reshoot the advertisement. As for "Xiangsi", it has not been shot for the time being.

Cui Xueer's previous advertisement received a very good response after it was aired. Later, she met Cui Xueer once. She said that someone from a film production company wanted to invite her to make a movie. Because she is still a student, she has not made up her mind whether to go or not.

Qin Xiang has been busy recently and has not contacted Cui Xueer much. She is not sure whether she can help to continue filming the advertisement.

Mi Hongjun took out a small notebook and took a look at it and said, "Li Xiulian just came back from another place yesterday. She will deal with some school matters today and will be able to come to shoot tomorrow. She has made great progress now, and it is not difficult to shoot. It is estimated that it can be finished in one day."

Then he turned to another page, "The goods from Xiang Yanghong are nearby, so there is no rush. The goods from Yangcheng Yimei Clothing Factory are already on the way, but there is a problem now."

Qin Xiang said, " You tell me."

Mi Hongjun said, "This morning, the driver from Yangcheng told me that the Second Garment Factory in Hangzhou had not received the goods. He said that the factory said that the goods you ordered had not been produced yet, and you have to wait a little longer. We don't know when they will be shipped."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but frowning when she heard this. It would take at least two or three days to drive from Hangzhou, and it would take time to move the goods to the branch on the road. Now they haven't been produced, so how can they arrive before the trade show?

She was suddenly stunned and couldn't help but understand what the Second Garment Factory meant.

She didn't want Xiang Yanghong and Yi Mei to take her clothes to the trade show, and the Second Garment Factory in Hangzhou didn't want her to take the clothes of the Second Garment Factory to the exhibition.

But in fact, she didn't have this idea. At such a good time as the trade show, she would of course promote her own clothes. Why would she make wedding dresses for others?

It was also for this reason that He Shengnan and Wu Gang did not react much when she brought up the matter.

However, she could not agree with the practice of Hangzhou Second Garment Factory.

She liked to say things in person, rather than letting people guess behind her back.

Qin Xiang immediately picked up the phone to call Yao Yufeng, but Yao Yufeng was nowhere to be found, saying that she was on a business trip.

Qin Xiang didn't know whether this was to fool her or if she was really on a business trip, so she could only find the deputy director in charge of sales in the factory, but it turned out that the deputy director was not there either. After

this reaction, Qin Xiang would have lived in vain if she didn't understand the other party's meaning.

But Qin Xiang was not worried, because she had signed the contract at the beginning.

Although the laws and regulations in this era are not perfect, and the contract is just a constraint, Qin Xiang feels that the Second Garment Factory will not be stupid enough to deliberately embarrass her, unless they don't care about her as a customer.

Qin Xiang just called Liu Xiaocao and asked her to go to the Second Garment Factory to ask about the situation, and Mi Hongjun found a new situation, "There are a lot of goods from the Second Garment Factory in Hangzhou at Na Qiang's place."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh when she heard it. The contract was clearly written at the beginning, she didn't care about other places, but the capital only supplied her, and now it openly supplied to Na Qiang. Was this intentional, or did Na Qiang get it from other places?

If you say there is no cat poop, Qin Xiang doesn't believe it a hundred times.

Qin Xiang tapped the table with her fingers and said after a while, "Since they don't want to cooperate, then ask them for a refund. Go borrow a good camera from Assistant Liu, and ask someone to get some photos from Na Qiang. Take the photos to the Second Garment Factory to ask for a refund. Also bring the contract and ask for compensation. If they don't compensate according to the contract, we will sue them."

Without a lawyer, they have to do it themselves. Even if the method is not perfect, they have to be scared. Anyway, they can't let it go so easily.

Mi Hongjun was not happy either, "Although the styles are less than ours, it's annoying."

"It doesn't matter, if they can do it, so can we." After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Mi Hongjun was stunned and immediately laughed, "I know." Mi Hongjun

went out to make arrangements, while Qin Xiang was thinking about this matter. Na Qiang had been honest for so long, but he didn't expect to show up again now. He is really an indestructible cockroach.

But Na Qiang is probably desperate.

Before, Na Qiang had been following them to make imitations, but in order to beat Qin Xiang in price, he set a low price, but he still wanted to make a profit. No matter how similar the styles are, the fabrics are different, and people always come to him, and slowly the business is not so good.

This time it is probably intentional, thinking that he can make a fortune by getting the goods before them.

It doesn't matter, then do it.

Since she was going to open a factory on her own, the second clothing factory was dispensable.

Although it was a pity, it was not unacceptable.

After making the arrangements, Qin Xiang went back to the courtyard. Meng Huaiqing was digging a hole at the base of the south wall. Qin Xiang was amused, "What are you planting?"

Meng Huaiqing pointed to a large piece of tree root next to it and said, "Wisteria vine."

"Wisteria vine?" Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of the wisteria vine rack in Professor Tan's house. It must be very beautiful when it is full of flowers in spring.

She glanced at the yard and said, "Don't we have to build a frame?"

"Yes." Meng Huaiqing pointed to where she was standing, "Just use pillars to build a shed without a roof here. When it grows up, the vines will climb up along the pillars and then cover the roof. It will be cool in the summer."

Qin Xiang nodded, "And get a stone table, so we can eat outside."

Meng Huaiqing thought about it and it seemed good. He could also fry some steaks and pour a glass of red wine. A candlelight dinner would be beautiful.

Meng Huaiqing had never done farm work before. Even though he learned how to do it from the flower farmer, he still didn't know how deep the pit should be dug. He wanted to put the wisteria in after digging for a while.

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to stop him, "The pit is too shallow."

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, looked at the blisters on his hands, and regretted it, "I should have asked Miao Sheng to come and dig." Just

as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, and Miao Sheng came over.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Miao Sheng, you come and continue digging, at least dig half of it."

Miao Sheng looked serious, and came over and said, "Sir, there is a small problem in Pengcheng."
