Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Second Update
Capital University Machinery Factory quickly contacted the exhibitors. It is said that they finally won a position with the other party, and then went through several departments, and finally contacted the Canton Fair exhibition working group.
The deputy director in charge of sales personally took a sample to Guangzhou by plane and persuaded the working group to get the exhibition permit.
Therefore, Shen Shaoyuan, who was originally only going to draw three samples, was kept for a few more days. The factory persuaded him, and finally he worked hard for a week and drew a total of five samples.
There was no awareness of intellectual property rights in those days. Everyone was contributing to socialist construction. However, the Capital Machinery Factory still gave Shen Shaoyuan a generous labor fee and two electric fans.
One was an ordinary electric fan, and the other was chosen by Shen Shaoyuan himself. Several cats of different shapes were carefully painted on the blades, and the base was green grass, which was very childlike. This was specially painted by Shen Shaoyuan for his little granddaughter.
The machinery factory originally wanted Shen Shaoyuan to paint a sample like this, but Shen Shaoyuan refused to agree, saying that he wanted to leave a unique one for his granddaughter, so that they could paint it themselves. The machinery factory had no choice but to let the painter imitate them. They didn't learn much from the painting, but as long as it couldn't be compared with Shen Shaoyuan's painting, it was okay.
The family was busy for a week. On Saturday afternoon, Shen Moer and Fu Mingze only had one class, so they went to Yongning Hutong to pick up their daughter.
When the little girl saw her parents, her first reaction was to pout and turn her head away. This aggrieved and angry expression amused Shen Moer, who said with a smile: "Does our little Liangliang not want to go back to Si Gu Lane? Then why don't mom and dad go back?"
The little girl was born precocious and could understand some words. Upon hearing this, she immediately turned around and stretched out her little hand for a hug: "Ah, mom, hug!"
After not paying much attention for a week, Shen Moer suddenly found that her daughter's language ability seemed to have improved again.
But it was normal. When she was in Si Gu Lane, Shen Shaoyuan and the little girl were talking to each other most of the time. It was different here. Grandpa and grandma were around her all day. As long as she was awake, they could chat with her all day, not to mention grandpa, grandma and uncle.
Language itself is a process of learning and training. The more you listen and speak, the more progress you will make.
The old lady looked at her little great-granddaughter and could not help but said, "Why don't you have dinner before going back?"
Shen Moer glanced at the old lady with eager eyes, then glanced at the old man who pretended to be indifferent but was actually watching his great-granddaughter, and smiled, "Okay, the weather is not that cold anymore, and it won't make sense to go back a little later."
When they returned to Sigu Lane after having dinner in Yongning Hutong, Shen Shaoyuan ran over and glanced at the little granddaughter who had fallen asleep on the road, then said to Shen Moer, "In the afternoon, the old lady of the Wang family in the yard in front brought her daughter here with six gifts, saying they were to thank you."
Shen Shaoyuan knew about what happened that day. They didn't take it seriously as they were just helping out when they saw injustice. Unexpectedly, the other party came to give gifts half a month later, and the gifts were very rich.
"She said she was going on a business trip the next day, and she just came back yesterday."
Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "Dad, why do
n't you give the old lady a return gift later?" If she didn't show up, it would just be a gift between neighbors.
Shen Shaoyuan waved his hand: "I know, you guys should go to bed early."
After getting up the next day, Shen Moer took her daughter to the garment factory first.
The production task that Shen Moer has set for the garment factory is not heavy at present, mainly because of the shortage of raw materials.
At the beginning of the year, the state divided the original light industry department into the Ministry of Textile Industry and the Ministry of Light Industry. The textile industry began to implement the "transformation", and textile enterprises carried out large-scale expansion and upgrading, and production capacity was significantly improved. But after all, the time is still short, and it is not enough to change the reality of domestic fabric shortages.
Shen Moer obtained some fabric through a friend from the Capital First Textile Factory.
The Capital First Textile Factory is a large enterprise with a huge business. It almost always exceeds its production targets every year. The part exceeding the production targets can be appropriately allocated to production enterprises in need.
Of course, if Shen Moer had not known the head of their sales department, it would have been almost impossible for a social enterprise like Huacai to obtain fabric from the Capital First Textile Factory.
It is impossible to obtain much fabric, which is one of the reasons why Shen Moer did not make a big fuss and only set up a "small workshop".
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without fabric, no matter how many ideas she has, she cannot implement them.
In retrospect, because the production task is not heavy, slow work produces fine work, and the quality of the braids made by the garment factory during this period is very good, and every detail is perfect.
After Shen Moer looked at the ready-made clothes in the warehouse, she walked out of the warehouse with Xiao Liangliang looking around curiously, and asked as she walked: "Are there any difficulties in life?"
Bai Junwen has a very gentle appearance. When he speaks, he always looks away slightly and speaks in a low voice: "No problem."
It is a problem that the food made by Zhao Zhenghui is not delicious, but Bai Junwen thinks it is nothing. They have been through hard times, and it is good to have a full meal every day.
However, he did have a question: "Have we always made this style?"
During his breaks, Bai Junwen also went to various department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives to check out the styles of ready-made clothes in the capital. He didn't know how much richer the styles of ready-made clothes were than those in Jiangbei County. Although the braid they produced was indeed beautiful, Bai Junwen was also worried that he would not be able to sell it in the capital.
They were a social enterprise from outside the province, and the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the capital might not be willing to sell their products, especially since they didn't have many styles.
When Bai Junwen was originally at the Lingjiang City Embroidery Factory, he was only responsible for production. He started as an embroiderer, then a painter, and then a manager of painters. He basically wandered around in the workshop, and he didn't know much about purchasing and sales.
Shen Moer explained to him: "Our production capacity is limited. If we produce too many styles, and each style only has a few hundred pieces of ready-made clothes, when the goods on hand are sold out, there will be no time to produce new goods, and the market will be snatched away by other companies." It
is much easier for other factories to produce the same style of braids by imitating them.
Bai Junwen nodded. He really didn't understand this aspect, but he believed in Director Shen's judgment.
"Emphasis should be placed on the management disciplines to the workers. The styles must not be leaked out." Shen Moer said with a smile, "As for purchasing and sales, Director Bai, you don't have to worry. I have already found an assistant for you."
Speak of the devil, and Liu Yinshuang walked in quickly, saying as she walked, "I am not Bai Junwen's assistant. I want to be the deputy factory director in the future, Bai Junwen, right?"
Bai Junwen blinked and nodded, "Yes, Comrade Liu can definitely do it."
Shen Moer glanced at him and smiled, "Okay, then one of you will be in charge of production and the other in charge of supply and marketing."
Liu Yinshuang talked to Xiao Liangliang for a while, then said, "Come on, Bai Junwen, take me to see the finished braids. Director Shen, when the weather gets hot, let's each wear one first? This is free advertising."
"Okay, you guys discuss it. I have things to do, so I'll leave first."
Shen Moer took her daughter out for a walk, then sent her home, and then went to the machinery factory with her bag on her back.
When we arrived at the machinery factory, Jin Gui and the others had already taken out the samples. They
were called samples, but in fact they were not the ones painted by Shen Shaoyuan, but were repainted by the painter according to Shen Shaoyuan's template. From the perspective of paint craftsmanship alone, they are actually much better than the ones painted by Shen Shaoyuan, but no matter how you look at it, Shen Shaoyuan's paintings are more lively.
The machinery factory has decided to send the units painted by Shen Shaoyuan to Guangzhou as well.
The samples Jin Gui and his team received were packaged, and the factory also provided a pedal tricycle. Lei Zheng, the only native of the capital, was responsible for riding the tricycle to carry the goods. Jin Gui went with him so that they could change handlebars on the way. Shen
Moer, Wu Yanan, and Guan Qianqian took the bus together.
The seats on the bus were relatively scattered, so Wu Yanan and Shen Moer sat in the front and back rows. Then he quietly told Shen Moer about Guan Qianqian.
Zhang Jiaojiao was very pessimistic about the work of their group. After she went back last time, she found an excuse to ask for leave from the machinery factory and never showed up again. Then this time, no one knew how she and Guan Qianqian discussed it. The two of them went to the department to change groups, so now Guan Qianqian is in the same group with them.
Shen Moer is usually busy and spends little time in school. She really didn't know these things before.
Wu Yanan whispered, "Guan Qianqian asked me several times, and I thought she was just curious. I told her about some things about the modification of electric fans. I also told her that our electric fans will definitely sell well."
Wu Yanan has a soft personality and is relatively shy, but he was admitted to Capital University, so he is naturally not stupid. When Guan Qianqian told her that she was transferred to their group that day, she came to her senses.
It turns out that Guan Qianqian had been asking her about the machinery factory in order to get information.
I just don't know if Zhang Jiaojiao will regret it if their team achieves good results in the future.
Shen Moer: "How they argue is their business, just don't get involved. If Zhang Jiaojiao asks you later, just say you know nothing."
Guan Qianqian's personality, to put it nicely, is good at judging the situation, to put it bluntly, is good at taking shortcuts.
Among the eight people in the dormitory, Guan Qianqian and Lin Yiqing have the best relationship.
Lin Yiqing is a native of the capital, with a good family background and generous, but she has no emotional intelligence and can be a bit aggressive sometimes.
No matter what Lin Yiqing said, Guan Qianqian always had a smiling face. Lin Yiqing was coaxed by her and would take her to famous restaurants in the capital every weekend.
But it can't be said that Guan Qianqian was wrong. Zhou Yu fights Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. As long as it doesn't affect others, there is nothing to say.
However, based on Shen Moer's understanding of Zhang Jiaojiao, she is not a person who can swallow her anger after being wronged. There
will probably be more arguments between the two of them later. Wu Yanan, who is so honest, will probably suffer losses if she is involved in the lawsuit between these two people.
Wu Yanan nodded seriously: "I will definitely not take care of them."
When they arrived at the department store, Lei Zheng and Jin Gui had not arrived yet. Shen Moer and the others waited at the door for a while. About ten minutes later, the two came over on a tricycle.
Lei Zheng, who was riding a tricycle, was sweating all over his forehead. He said speechlessly: "This guy said he wanted to exchange handlebars with me, but he didn't dare to ride when there were a few more people on the road. I rode most of the way alone, and I had to carry this kid who weighed more than 100 pounds!"
"It's better for me to ride alone!"
Jin Gui was ashamed: "It's not that I'm not used to riding a tricycle, and there are indeed many people on the streets of the capital."
He used to ride from the village to the commune, or to the county town. Their county is really small, with only one main street, and you can get out of it with just a push of your feet.
It's not like the capital, which is connected in all directions. Once you reach the intersection, you may see people or bicycles coming from any direction, and sometimes even cars.
When he saw such a big road, so many people and cars, he was very nervous.
Lei Zheng waved his hands: "Fortunately it's not far away, otherwise I really can't do it."
Shen Moer saw that he was panting and couldn't help saying: "Come on, let's ride a bike on the way back. I'll ride and you show the way."
Lei Zheng shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, how can that be done? The old men are here, how can I let a female comrade ride a bike? If acquaintances see me sitting in the back of a female comrade's car, I will be laughed at to death."
This is the bad thing about the locals. They are afraid of being seen by acquaintances when they go out to do something.
Shen Moer did not argue with him. She would know after riding back whether it was the men who could ride a bike or the women who could ride a bike.
They had contacted the purchasing department of the department store in advance, and rode the tricycle into the yard behind the department store. A deputy section chief named Li from the purchasing department went downstairs to the yard to look at the samples.
When the package was opened, Deputy Section Chief Li was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Is this an electric fan, an electric fan for home use?"
Shen Moer did not speak, but gave a look to the others, indicating that they should explain.
Wu Yanan and Jin Guizhang blushed, looking like they wanted to say something but were too embarrassed to do so.
Guan Qianqian wanted to ask, but the problem was that this was her first time to join the work of this group. She had only heard Wu Yanan's general description of the situation, and had no idea about the details.
Lei Zheng, the local snake, spoke first: "Yes, this is an electric fan. This batch of products was made by our seniors in the school. The motor quality is very good, the stability is good, the wind is strong, and the noise is low. There is absolutely no problem with the performance. You can see from the appearance that it is completely different from the electric fans sold on the market. Our electric fan is called, it's called something, it's practical and artistic!"
These words were learned from Shen Moli. When she persuaded the machinery factory to send the electric fan to the Canton Fair, she said this.
Lei Zheng had a good memory and learned most of it.
Deputy Section Chief Li: "...You said before that this batch is defective and does not require industrial invoices?"
Jin Gui finally plucked up the courage to continue: "Yes, there is a small flaw in the appearance, but it does not affect the use. The quality of our electric fans is very good."
Deputy Section Chief Li stared at a few electric fans for a few times: "...There is a small flaw in the appearance?"
To be honest, he couldn't see it.
He only noticed that these electric fans were indeed pretty good-looking despite their fancy decorations.
Wu Yanan finally found a chance to interrupt: "There are defects. Look carefully. Is this fan blade different from the others? And this one is crooked. It was even crooked before. The master in the car fixed it."
Deputy Section Chief Li: "..."
You can't say that he graduated from a higher education institution. He is really honest in doing business.
Guan Qianqian almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, and quickly interrupted, "They are all insignificant flaws, but these appearance flaws have been covered up by the paint on it. You didn't notice it just now, right? I think you not only didn't notice it, but you also thought this electric fan was pretty good, right? If you think so, the citizens who come to buy things must think so too. Our electric fan is of good quality, and the appearance is very special. It doesn't need an industrial ticket, so it will definitely be popular with everyone."
Shen Moer glanced at Guan Qianqian.
So everyone has their own strengths. Guan Qianqian's personality is a bit utilitarian, but the other side of this personality is that she has a high emotional intelligence, can read the eyes, can speak, and has strong communication skills.
The same words, when they come to her mouth, their electric fan only has advantages.
Deputy Section Chief Li was obviously persuaded. He nodded and said, "It's good."
Obviously, there was another sentence.
Sure enough, after pausing for a few seconds, he said in embarrassment, "If what you sell is ordinary electric fans, I can decide to buy them, but yours is a defective product, and the appearance is so special, it's really hard for me to decide."
He thought for a while and said, "Why don't you wait here for a while, I'll go up and call our section chief down."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people suddenly walked out of the building. One of them saw them and shouted, "Student Shen?"
Shen Moer turned around and saw that she was being taken away by someone. Wang Liya, who was in the middle of the crowd, smiled and nodded: "Comrade Wang."
Wang Liya walked over and saw the electric fan on the tricycle: "Is this the defective electric fans from the Capital University Machinery Factory? Your father is too modest."
Seeing Shen Moer's puzzled expression, she explained: "I saw the electric fan in your house that day. It was full of childish fun, and the cats were painted vividly. Your father said it was an extracurricular homework for you, and he just drew it casually."
"These fans are also very beautiful. If they were just casual paintings, I don't know what they would look like if they were painted seriously."
Whether it was out of politeness or sincerity, Wang Liya's high evaluation of these electric fans made Shen Moer very happy: "I thank you on behalf of my father. Although he was humble, he must be very happy to hear such praise."
Wang Liya smiled and turned to ask Deputy Section Chief Li: "Has this batch of goods been ordered?"
Those who can do purchasing and sales are all shrewd people. Deputy Section Chief Li saw that the manager looked familiar with the students from Capital University, and He also spoke highly of the electric fan and said hurriedly: "We are discussing it and will order it immediately. It is just in time to put it out before May Day."
Wang Liya nodded: "This batch of defective products does not require industrial tickets. The quantity is not large and it is estimated that it will be sold out soon. I heard that their factory is preparing to send samples to Guangzhou to participate in the Canton Fair. There should not be many products circulated on the market later. You can contact their sales department and order some."
Deputy Chief Li realized that although the manager discovered this product by accident, he actually knew all the details.
Otherwise, how could a young female comrade be the manager of the largest department store in the capital?
After Wang Liya led the others away, Deputy Section Chief Li looked at Shen Moer and said, "My classmate, you said you have connections like Manager Wang, why are you still arguing with me for so long?"
Shen Moer: "..."
To be honest, she actually just found out that she has connections in the department store.
