Chapter 295

The New Year is coming soon, and there is too much work to do. After staying in Pengcheng for a few days, it is already the 20th day of the 11th lunar month.

According to the custom of previous years, it is time for the workers in the factory to have a holiday.

Qin Xiang had to temporarily say goodbye to Meng Huaiqing, and the reluctance in Meng Huaiqing's eyes was almost overflowing.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but kiss him, like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and ran away from home, "New Year's Day is coming soon, and we'll see each other in ten days. I have to come over after the New Year, and we'll go together."

Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "Okay, you pay more attention to safety on the road, and make sure to rest, don't tire yourself out in a rush, I'll tell Zhao Ping."

"Got it, got it."

Meng Huaiqing still had to attend a meeting held by the municipal government, so he couldn't see her off in person, which made Meng Huaiqing regretful.

When they got in the car and headed to the airport, Zhao Ping said, "Should we let them drive to the provincial capital?"

Qin Xiang leaned back in her chair and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go to Haicheng first to see what's going on there, and then go to Suzhou."

The plan to set up a factory after the New Year was to be in Suzhou. Suzhou was close to Haicheng and Hangzhou, radiating to Suzhou Province to the north and Jiang Province to the south. It had convenient transportation and was a silk town, which was just right for her silk factory to develop together.

As for the silk factory, she was going to directly acquire a state-owned factory. She had already picked a few, but they all had poor development prospects and were already at the end of their strength. She was just waiting for the New Year to pass, and after the New Year she would go to negotiate and find the most suitable one to buy.

Of course, the factory positioning in Sucheng must also be separated from Pengcheng and Yong'an, echoing the Xiangsi brand and specializing in high-end routes.

Then, designers have to be recruited.

And they have to continue fooling around.

Take advantage of the New Year period to hire as many as possible.

Of course, the first choice is still students who graduated from Tsinghua University or the Academy of Fine Arts. They have just graduated from school not long ago, their spirit has not diminished, and they are full of drive. Find a suitable place to study and train, and she will benefit.

After getting on the plane, Qin Xiang closed her eyes to rest. When she arrived in Haicheng, she did not notify the people in the branch in advance. She stood on the street and watched for a while before going in.

Not bad, there is no problem checking the accounts again. It seems that the previous rectification has been effective.

The clothing store closes late. Except for one clerk from another place, the other few are locals from Haicheng.

Qin Xiang distributed bonuses to everyone one by one, encouraged them, and then gave the out-of-town store employees annual leave in advance. She said to the other two, "After the New Year, when she comes back, you two can take turns to rest. I will instruct the accounting department to double the wages for those who worked from the 21st of Lunar New Year to the 29th of Lunar New Year."

Hearing this, the store manager and the employees no longer felt unhappy. The store manager said happily, "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely work hard until the last shift."

Qin Xiang also smiled and said, "Work hard before the New Year and deal with the inventory, and then open for business on the 15th of the next lunar year."

Several people nodded repeatedly. Qin Xiang then asked about the situation here, saying that many clothing stores had opened here this year, and the flow of people was more than before.

Qin Xiang also noticed this. After thinking about the funds on hand, Qin Xiang said to the store manager, "If you have time, please help me find out if there is any land for sale in Jiangdong. If it is auctioned, how long will it take to sell it?"

Although the store manager didn't know what Qin Xiang wanted to do, he still agreed, "No problem, I have a relative working in the municipal government, I can ask him to help me find out."

After a tour in Haicheng, I have to say that Haicheng is indeed developing rapidly.

Leaving Haicheng and heading to Suzhou.

The storefront in Suzhou is still on the second floor, the area is larger than before, and the sign at the door is also shining.

Liu Xiaocao was in charge of Suzhou and Hangzhou. When Qin Xiang came, Liu Xiaocao had just returned from Hangzhou. She was very excited to see Qin Xiang and reported her work to her immediately. She showed her account books and books. Qin

Xiang didn't come to check the accounts. She just took a look and didn't pay any more attention. "I came to give everyone the year-end bonus in advance."

Liu Xiaocao had a record of each clerk's sales volume for the year. Qin Xiang had a clear reward and punishment system and distributed bonuses according to sales performance. He also said to Liu Xiaocao privately, "If you are going back in a few days, please make arrangements in advance, understand?"

"I know." Liu Xiaocao said, "But I asked someone to buy me a plane for the 29th of November, and I will fly back directly, so that I won't delay the store's year-end inventory."

Qin Xiang was stunned and said with emotion, "This is too tiring, it doesn't matter if I go a few days earlier."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Liu Xiaocao said happily.

Qin Xiang smiled, "Okay, then you make your own plans. By the way, find out the situation at the Jijia Silk Factory, and I will come to discuss the acquisition after the New Year."

After instructing Liu Xiaocao, he told the clerk about the double salary before the New Year, and everyone was even happier.

Not only are there high bonuses, but also double wages. In the last few days, the store manager will buy them some New Year goods according to the requirements of the headquarters. Such benefits are not available to those cadres.

Qin Xiang has seen many passionate and inspiring speeches in the future. In fact, Qin Xiang will also do so. After all, she has not

been working for nothing for so many years. However, she doesn't want to be like that. Why do you come out to work? Isn't it just to make money? No matter how nice the words are, no matter how big the cakes are, they are all fake, and they are not as real as giving money.

Imagine carrying large and small bags of flashy gifts back home, would you be shocked to take out a handful of money from your pocket?

No.

Therefore, Qin Xiang always has only one way to bribe employees: money.

Good work, good sales, bonuses, and money given during festivals.

In the end, the employees are happy, and she, as the boss, is relieved. Compared with the profits brought by the employees, this money is a drop in the bucket. There is no reason for her to eat meat while the subordinates can't even finish their soup.

Of course, the store manager must give more bonuses, and at the same time, there is more worry.

For example, Liu Xiaocao is in charge of Hangzhou and Suzhou, and the store manager in Haicheng also reports directly to Liu Xiaocao. Liu Xiaocao's position will definitely be adjusted after the new year.

From a rural girl who knows nothing, to where she is now, Liu Xiaocao knows the importance of hard work.

After making the arrangements, Qin Xiang brought gifts to visit Master Sun, who had helped to repair the cheongsam. Master Sun was stunned when he saw her coming, "I didn't expect that a big boss like you would come here. Your employee sometimes comes here too."

Qin Xiang knew he was talking about Liu Xiaocao, so she smiled and said, "I didn't come to see you on purpose. I came to check out the store and visit you by the way."

The gifts they bought were all suitable for the elderly. Master Sun broke off a piece of cake and said, "Not bad, but at my age, I can't work even if you open a factory."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiang said, "I came here just to see you, not to talk about business. You may also know that I majored in fashion design, and I want to learn and discuss some things with you. Please don't mind."

Master Sun was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Of course."

Qin Xiang never fights unprepared battles. She took out the design drafts she had sorted out in her bag and discussed them with Master Sun.

These are the designs she made for the new year's spring collection of "Xiangsi". She also revised the drafts many times before finalizing them. This time, she came here to listen to the old master's opinions.

Although the old teacher is not a designer, she is very knowledgeable in making clothes. She can tell at a glance what is not right.

Master Sun looked through her design carefully and gave her affirmation, but also pointed out several details that need to be modified. He sighed and said, "The waves behind push the waves ahead. Now it is the world of young people."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "This is not absolutely true. Even though it is the world of young people, young people also have shortcomings. They need the guidance of the older generation in front to walk well enough and take fewer detours. Don't you think so?"

"Everyone takes detours. It's not bad to walk occasionally." Master Sun said and laughed.

Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Master Sun's house. She recalled what Master Sun said when she was leaving, "Making clothes is like being a person. If you stick to your heart and know what kind of clothes you want to make, you will naturally be serious. If you only do it for profit, sooner or later you will lose your original determination."

These words were said casually, and they were also the teachings of Master Sun, an old man, to young people.

Qin Xiang will always remember them.

The original intention of making clothes is to make money, and it is also love.

In the era of rapid development of clothing, she will seize the opportunity, but she will not stop all the ideas of making money on clothing.

Sooner or later, this market will be saturated.

And what she has to do is to take her employees further.

Driving to the airport, passing by the night market halfway, Aunt Ma was still there selling tea eggs.

Qin Xiang suddenly missed Auntie Ma's tea leaf eggs, so she asked the driver to stop the car and passed by. "Auntie Ma."

Auntie Ma looked up at her and smiled. "Xiao Qin, it's you. Come and sit down. Auntie will get you a tea leaf egg."

The egg skin of the tea leaf egg was cracked into a web-like pattern and tasted very good. Qin Xiang was eating it. Auntie Ma said, "Are you just here or are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving. The New Year is coming soon. I have to go back and make preparations."

"That's good." Auntie Ma looked at her and paused. "I've heard about what happened between you and the Yufeng factory. What they did was not fair."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Auntie, I just came to see you. Let's not talk about those things. They have nothing to do with you."

"Well, OK, OK, that's your car over there, I'll pick up a few more for you to take." Without waiting for Qin Xiang to refuse, Auntie Ma picked up a dozen tea leaf eggs and put them in a bag, "Take them and eat them, come back soon, it's cold."

After saying goodbye to Auntie Ma and getting in the car, she saw Auntie Ma's frustrated look through the glass.

Auntie Ma enthusiastically introduced her to Yao Yufeng at the beginning, probably because she really wanted them to cooperate.

In fact, there is nothing to regret, that matter was not something Yao Yufeng could decide, and if it was lost, it was lost. Losing her as a customer was their loss.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they got from Hangzhou to the provincial capital. They had a casual dinner outside, each had another tea leaf egg, and then went back to rest.

The next day, Qin Xiang started another round of encouragement for the store staff, distributed bonuses, and arranged the last few days of work at the end of the year. He did not return to the capital until the 24th of the lunar month.

There are still five branches and three stores in the capital, but now he can't take care of these. He went to the factory in Yong'an without stopping.

The factory has stopped producing winter clothes a long time ago, and now produces spring clothes.

New products are released directly after the New Year, a new atmosphere in the new year.

After just a few words with Tan Xiu, Miao Xiaofeng said, "That person is here again."
