Hao Dan looked at Yu Hongxia pleadingly.
"Hongmei, I have no objection to this share. But how much is our 10% capital?"
"My plan is to invest 10,000 yuan, which includes the cost of raw materials, equipment, factory rental, labor costs, and store rent, leaving about 1,000 to 2,000 yuan in working capital."
This 10% investment is 1,000 yuan. However, since design is a technical investment, I'll contribute 8,500 yuan, taking a 70% stake.
After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she took out another piece of paper and handed it to Yu Hongxia. "It's all written down in detail here. You can see everything clearly by looking at this."
Yu Hongxia read it carefully. "Hongmei, I've decided that the 1,500 should be divided equally among 90% of the total."
"No need. I'm the major shareholder and the largest investor, so it's only right that I get more. Besides, I don't have time to get involved in processing and sales. You'll be the one to handle it all in the future, so you don't need to worry about this."
"Alright, let's not beat around the bush. In that case, I'll thank you for your help."
"Hehe, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
"What about me? What about me? What can I do?" Hao Dan was anxious, afraid that the two of them would leave her behind.
Both of them laughed, even though Zhang Hongmei was the youngest of the three. Her maturity made everyone overlook her age.
Hao Dan is usually pampered at home, so she unconsciously loves to act cute.
"Hao Dan, I can only give you a maximum of three percent of the shares. Of course, you'll have to help me if I get too busy."
"Okay, three percent it is, as long as you bring me along."
"In that case, I'll give Senior Yu one night to think it over. We'll come to my house tomorrow to sign the contract. I won't be there, but I've arranged for someone to help you. See you at my house tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it can be done this afternoon."
"Hehe, Senior Yu, you should really discuss this with your family. The initial investment will be huge, and it might affect your future job. You're a top student at Capital University, and I don't want to see this project negatively impact you."
"Take a close look at the agreement I drafted. It clearly defines the scope of responsibilities, which is why I assigned someone else to be in charge, and your responsibilities are quite limited."
“Hongmei, I know you’re giving me a chance. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
"Senior Yu, I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work." This was actually a small compensation for Yu Hongxia. After all, she had put a lot of effort into the Zhongshan suit, which, although recorded in her file and very advantageous, meant she wouldn't get a share of the profits after graduation. Besides, she also highly valued Yu Hongxia's abilities. Although she kept Wang Ying, Wang Ying wasn't as composed as Yu Hongxia.
"Hongmei, don't worry, I won't neglect my work, and I certainly won't ignore this project. How should I put it? My work is how I repay my country for nurturing me, and I will do my best to serve my country and people. This project is my passion, a way to prove myself, so I will do my best in the same way."
"Okay, I trust Senior Yu. Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'll arrange the factory, equipment, and sales outlets. You can contact the people I've arranged from now on. As for the design, I'll also urge them to finish."
"Understood, I'll come to your house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you in the future. I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll leave now."
"Hongmei, I'll stay with Senior Yu a little longer. Anyway, I'm not going to school at this time."
"Goodbye, you two." Zhang Hongmei declined their offer to see her off and rode her bicycle back to Shuren Hutong.
The factory was located in Shuren Hutong. The sales store and warehouse were located in a small two-courtyard house next to the building. This house belonged to Zhang Shouyi and has now been converted into his own. Since it was just sitting there, the location was good and it was a good choice for a store.
The gatehouse can be converted into a shop, with a rest room in the back and the rest used as a warehouse. As for meals, the sales staff will have to take care of that themselves; open flames are absolutely not allowed.
Back in Shuren Hutong, inside the space, the shop design needed to be finalized. A sign saying "No Men Allowed" was needed, along with a secluded and secure fitting room. The remaining task was for Wang Ying to find someone to enlarge the entrance, using more glass windows to make it as bright as possible. A design sketch was drawn up and deemed satisfactory; it would be given to Wang Ying upon returning.
As for the processing plant, it will be located here for now. Once sales increase, we will find vacant land and build our own factory. These decisions and operations will be made jointly by Wang Ying and Yu Hongxia.
When we get back, we need to tell Uncle Li to move all the furniture from the other rooms to our own room and vacate the remaining rooms. Of course, there won't be a kitchen here.
The biggest problem now is the fabric. I hope Zhang Shouyi can find someone capable. I just don’t know if Liang Yongmin is up to the task.
Zhang Hongmei returned to Xinyuan and smiled when she saw Wang Ying staring at her expectantly.
"Wang Ying, come to the study with me, I have something to tell you."
Wang Ying nodded vigorously and excitedly followed Zhang Hongmei into the study.
"Sit down. Here, take a look. This is one of my plans. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and I'm leaving everything at home to you."
"Yes." Wang Ying took it and began to read it carefully. She became more and more excited as she read, and by the time she finished, her eyes and brows were full of smiles.
“Hongmei, I’m sure I can do this job well. You can trust me this time.”
"Okay, I trust you. I'll give you all the design drawings, and the samples are here too."
After saying that, he squatted down and took out ten dozen yuan from the cabinet under the desk. "This is ten thousand yuan. Our share is eight thousand five, and the remaining one thousand five is for contingency funds."
"Also, here are the shop's design plans. After I leave, ask Uncle Li to help oversee the renovations. Go buy a sewing machine. Here are the receipts."
"You and Yu Hongxia should discuss the workers, and you'll need at least two sales clerks. Also, you must reserve one set as a sample for trying on. I don't have any experience either, so you two will have to figure it out gradually. Don't worry, don't rush things. Even if it doesn't work out at first, don't be discouraged."
"Yes, I understand. Hongmei, I was really angry about what happened last time. I didn't think before I acted. I promise that this will never happen again."
"Yes, I forgive you. Just don't be impulsive in the future. You're still young, so you need to learn to grow up."
"But you're younger than me, so why are you so much more mature?"
Zhang Hongmei was exasperated, but looking at the girl's bewildered eyes, she knew the girl genuinely didn't understand. Sigh! Hopefully, she'll mature in the future.
