Chapter 185
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Cui Hong's face immediately turned ugly.
The incident between Sun Qiang and Cui Hong caused quite a stir back then. Sun Qiang's wife Hong Mei was a native of the capital, and her family had some influence. She had been harassing Cui Hong in both open and covert ways during this period.
But Cui Hong had found a way to marry Wang Junsheng at that time. No matter how much Hong Mei made a fuss or how much Wang Junsheng hated her, he could not divorce her.
But Cui Hong's life was indeed not easy. She had found several nanny jobs in succession, but all of them were ruined by Hong Mei. She simply could not find another nanny job in this area.
Even if she really wanted to work hard, it would be impossible because her face would become her original sin, and Hong Mei would kill her.
Seeing Qin Xiang like this, Cui Hong suddenly asked, "Did you tell her?"
Of course, she was talking about her and Sun Qiang.
Qin Xiang didn't answer directly. Instead, she scoffed, "God is watching what we do. If you walk by the river often, you'll get your feet wet. You should have thought this day would come when you tried to harm me."
As she spoke, she glanced at Cui Hong. She still looked as pretty as before, and the clothes she wore looked more stylish. But Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing when she thought of something, and went straight to the store.
Qin Xiang's nonchalant look deeply hurt Cui Hong's nerves. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and looked at Qin Xiang with vicious eyes.
It was Qin Xiang again, and it was Qin Xiang again who ruined her good thing.
No wonder Hong Mei appeared so timely, it was all because of Qin Xiang.
Cui Hong didn't think it was her who had bad intentions at all, she just felt that Qin Xiang had harmed her.
Of course, Cui Hong's anger was her own business, and Qin Xiang didn't take it seriously. What happened was over.
The store is not open yet at this time. Qin Dong is sorting the goods and the clerk has not come yet.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming in, Qin Dong said in surprise, "Boss."
Qin Xiang went over to take a look and found that they were packing the goods that Wu Gang had sent from Yangcheng, so he asked, "How has the response been to the recent batches of goods?"
In addition to the recent goods from Guan Zhihong, Ningcheng Xiangyanghong Garment Factory, and Hangzhou Second Garment Factory, Wu Gang's clothes have now been added.
Although the clothes are all suitable for young people and have all been selected by Qin Xiang, the clothing styles of the several factories are not exactly the same. Each designer has his or her own suitable style, so the customer reactions in the market will not be the same.
"Wait a moment." Qin Dong went back to the counter and took out a notebook, opening it for Qin Xiang to see. "This is the sales data of clothes from several factories."
Qin Xiang took it and took a look, and couldn't help being surprised. Qin Dong had drawn the table by hand, with a separate table for each product coming out of each factory, with the product number, sales volume, date and summary all clearly visible at a glance.
The same goes for the next few pictures. By comparing them, you can know how much goods were sold.
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "You did it very carefully."
Donald Qin was very happy to be praised, "I will continue to work hard."
"That's great. I'll tell everyone else about this method, and every store should do the same." Qin Xiang handed the statistics back to her and said, "I'll give Zhao Ping money to buy a fax machine and printer, and have everyone in the branch do the same statistics. Send it to me every two weeks. You should summarize it and report it to me."
Hearing her say this, Qin Dong was in high spirits. It didn't matter if he had more work. This was the boss giving her a chance. Liu Xiaocao had become the store manager, and Mao Yuxiang had gone to Ningcheng to manage purchasing. Now he was finally going to be given an important position.
Sure enough, what Brother Mi said was right. A man can't just say no. He must learn. Fortunately, Brother Mi dragged him to class together.
Donald Qin chuckled, "Okay, Boss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard with you."
Qin Xiang nodded in satisfaction, but also puzzled, "Did you come up with this idea yourself, or did someone teach you?"
"I went to night school to learn it." Qin Dong was a little embarrassed, but he didn't forget to praise Mi Hongjun. "It was Brother Mi who asked me to go with him. He said that we should improve together to make greater contributions to our store. But I didn't really understand what he was learning about management, so I listened to how some things were done in the office. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became clear to me. I thought it was quite right. When I came back, I tried to draw a chart myself, and it really became clear at a glance."
Qin Xiang's mouth twitched upon hearing this. She didn't believe Mi Hongjun was motivated by any moral principles. When she had urged him to go to night school, he had acted like he'd died, his face wrinkled like a pumpkin. She preferred to believe that Mi Hongjun was trying to drag Qin Dong down with him, believing that if he suffered, no one else would suffer either.
Mi Hongjun hadn't expected Qin Dong to actually find a course that suited him. He still had to continue studying management and improving his academic qualifications. Qin Dong had no academic aspirations, only to acquire useful skills, but Mi Hongjun wanted both.
Of course, as a good boss, Qin Xiang would not say anything discouraging at this time. He praised both of them and then went out to the wholesale city.
There were still quite a few people in the wholesale city in the morning, and it was bustling and lively. A new store manager had been elected, who brought the staff to open the store at two or three o'clock in the morning every day. Mi Hongjun got away from it and took care of other things.
But he would still come over every day to check on the situation, because he was worried about Na Qiang and always felt that Na Qiang was up to no good.
When Qin Xiang came over, she happened to see Mi Hongjun helping a newly arrived self-employed person choose clothes. He was almost fooling the person with his constant talking.
It was at this time that Mi Hongjun became particularly confident, and was completely different from when she went to Professor Tan.
Qin Xiang was amused and observed from a distance for a while before going over.
Seeing that Qin Xiang was quite nervous, several shop assistants cheered up and worked hard. Qin Xiang waved her hand and said, "You guys continue to be busy. I'll come over and take a look."
He Liping, who was doing the bookkeeping in the back, stood up and said, "Boss."
She came over happily and asked, "Shall I show you around?"
"Okay." Qin Xiang wanted to train He Liping to be her assistant, so she should really let her get familiar with the situation.
But she didn't plan to say anything before that, she just wanted to investigate first.
Although He Liping is not very old, she is very serious about her work and is willing to learn.
When I was in the provincial capital, I boldly suggested setting up a stall at the night market. I made a lot of money at that time. Later, I seized the opportunity to attend night school to study accounting. Now I can do accounting quite well.
When they came out, Qin Xiang said to Mi Hongjun, "Find a few more accountants when you have time."
Mi Hongjun had no doubts and agreed immediately. He Liping looked at Qin Xiang thoughtfully.
The other shop on the first floor wasn't as good as the one at the entrance, but the flow of people wasn't interrupted. Qin Xiang glanced at the shipment record book and couldn't help but frown. Manager He was a little worried, "Boss, is there any problem?"
Qin Xiang pointed at her notebook and asked, "This is all you've sold of this style this month?"
"Yes." He Hua nodded, "That's all for this month."
Qin Xiang smiled without saying anything and said to He Liping, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
She didn't say anything. Instead, Hehua felt uneasy. She glanced at He Liping, but He Liping didn't say anything either, which made her a little unsure.
To be honest, she was recommended by Mi Hongjun as the store manager, and she didn't know their boss very well, so at this moment she didn't understand what Qin Xiang meant.
When going upstairs, He Liping whispered to Qin Xiang, "Do you see the problem?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiang stopped and looked at her, lowering her voice, "Looking at you, you've already seen the problem?"
He Liping laughed sheepishly. "I'm an accountant, so how could I not see that? She reported more than ten defects on the model you mentioned. In the end, they were all sold at a low price."
Qin Xiang nodded, "I understand."
This is to buy clothes from the store at a low price and then sell them at a high price.
That one was the best designed of all the sportswear, with a sky blue body, a white mock collar, and black trousers underneath. It looked best on young teenagers.
In the capital, you will definitely vote for one.
The defective clothes in their store are basically sold at a 70% discount. As long as the other party reaches a private agreement with the customer and gives an 80% discount, then the profit in between is what Lotus makes.
What a good plan.
With so many branches, she couldn't manage the staffing, so she had to let Tan Xiu take charge. When Tan Xiu was away, Mi Hongjun took over. Of course, she didn't think much about whether Mi Hongjun would be involved.
In other words, Mi Hongjun looked down upon that little profit. If he really wanted to make a lot of money, he would have gone it alone long ago. Mi Hongjun had saved some money over the past year or so, but he didn't seem to be that addicted to money.
Seeing that she understood, He Liping didn't say much. She had long understood the truth: less talk, more action, absolutely correct. The boss knew exactly how well you were doing.
Like the store manager He Hua, she doesn't understand the boss and thinks he is a fool.
Don’t you think that if Qin Xiang was really just an ordinary student, how could he have a business of this scale?
Stupid, really stupid.
For such a small profit, I wasted this good job. What an honor it is to stand out from the crowd and become the store manager. The salary is not low, and there are bonuses. It's more than 100 yuan a month. There are also red envelopes during festivals, and the amount is never less than 100 yuan.
Qin Xiang took He Liping, who felt sorry for the lotus, upstairs.
After the store upstairs opened, it sold bedding and other home textiles. The business was neither good nor bad, but the clothing for newlyweds sold quite well.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming, Zhao Hongyun quickly took the store's account book and opened it. Qin Xiang was amused and asked, "Did you learn this from Qin Dong?"
Zhao Hongyun smiled sheepishly, "Yes, I happened to see that he was doing well, so I learned from him. I didn't expect that this would really save me a lot of trouble."
Zhao Hongyun then added, "By the way, the bridal attire in our store, especially the ones you designed, is selling very well. Many of them are recommended by customers."
She hesitated for a moment, and Qin Xiang said, "Just tell me if you have something to say."
Zhao Hongyun then said, "Although we are a wholesale market, as you know, our new clothing is almost the same as retail. The tailor we cooperate with is also good and always abides by the agreement. But now someone here is making clothes imitating our styles."
After she finished speaking, Qin Xiang frowned, "That strong?"
"Yes, that's him." Zhao Hongyun pointed to the top of his head and said, "There's a store upstairs at Naqiang that opened about half a month later than ours. They also sell home textiles and bridal wear. At first, I didn't know they copied our clothes. After all, we rarely go upstairs. It was only the other day that a customer came in and said our prices were five yuan higher and the one upstairs was cheaper. I asked someone to take a look and that's when I found out about it."
He Liping cursed, "That Naqiang is so shameless! He said something nice and apologized in front of the people from the wholesale city management department, but now he does something so disgusting."
After she finished scolding, she asked Qin Xiang, "Boss, what should we do about this?"
"Cold salad."
Things like property rights and patents are not mature these days. Even if she reports it to the police, they may not be able to do anything about it.
Although this matter is disgusting, there is really nothing we can do about it.
They can only strive for the best in fabrics and workmanship to impress the newlyweds.
Young people who are about to get married all think that marriage is a major event in life, so they have to buy the best. If it is only five or six dollars more expensive, but the quality and workmanship are much higher, then she doesn't think customers will not choose their company.
What's more, they have an advantage that the strong side does not have.
She can constantly update the styles of newlyweds' outfits, and even custom-make two sets for them from time to time. Na Qiang must have a designer, but he's just a copycat. Can he keep up with her brain?
However, this matter is disgusting after all, and Qin Xiang has to be on guard against whether Na Qiang will do anything bad.
Qin Xiang said, "I'll design a few more later. Let's change them quickly so they don't have time to react and always follow behind."
Zhao Hongyun bared his teeth when he heard this. "I knew the boss would have a solution, but the customer finally chose ours because, although the one upstairs was cheaper, the material of the clothes wasn't as good as ours."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll design it and hand it over to Xiang Yanghong for mass production. You can just take the catalog to place an order in the store, and then have Xiang Yanghong produce it."
"Okay," Zhao Hongyun said. "This way I won't have to worry about the tailors not being able to finish it. And honestly, everyone prefers machine-made ones; they're straight and level."
Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are not many people in the home textile market. But if a couple wants to order wedding attire, they will not just order wedding attire.
Do you need to buy bedding when getting married?
She has it all here, with designs and colors ranging from fresh and simple to trendy, like bright red peonies and red wedding characters, and even cute pink and rose-red. She has it all, all made from the finest fabrics and in the perfect width. Almost everyone who comes by will leave empty-handed.
Qin Xiang was quite satisfied with Zhao Hongyun. At least he didn't just focus on his own business, but knew how to observe the surrounding hostile forces and could analyze them. That was very good.
Qin Xiang praised such an outstanding employee generously, "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you."
Thinking of the current development of the previous store managers, Zhao Hongyun was excited. In fact, she had only been working for less than half a year, but she had already been promoted to store manager. Maybe one day she would be able to take on more responsibilities and do more work like the others.
Don’t be afraid of having more work, it’s all salary.
Qin Xiang felt a little embarrassed seeing Zhao Hongyun, who was a few years older than her, glowing at her.
"Okay, take care of the store and train some capable people for me. I'll go take care of other things first."
After looking at this one, there is also the "Xiangsi" which is under renovation. I don't know how it looks inside.
When they went downstairs, they saw He Hua pushing and shoving a woman in her fifties in the sportswear store.
When He Hua saw Qin Xiang coming out, she became anxious and said, "Please leave quickly. Our boss is here. If she sees us, it will be over."
"Got it. I'll leave now."
The woman seemed very unhappy. She glanced at Qin Xiang and left in a hurry. There were so many people there that it was really hard to find her once she was in the crowd.
"boss."
He Hua's smile now seemed a little forced.
She wasn't sure how much Qin Xiang had seen.
Today is the weekend, and she had already told her mother not to come, so why didn't she listen?
If she was seen, she would be finished.
Qin Xiang nodded slightly and then left.
He Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt uneasy. It seemed that she could not continue doing this.
But she didn't want to do it, and someone was not happy about it. Her mother, Qian Dajuan, went out the back door and came back a short while later. She peeked in the crowd and saw that there were not many people around. She hurried over and said, "Hurry up and get me a few more sets. I'm telling you, after I sell them, several families will want them. My kids are competing with each other at school, and they won't be happy if I don't buy them for them."
Qian Dajuan laughed as she spoke, "Tell me, no wonder everyone wants to be a boss. It's so profitable. Do you think your boss earns more?"
Seeing that she was not going to stop, He Hua became anxious, "Mom, I'm telling you, I can't do this anymore. I'm always uneasy. Let's forget about it today."
Upon hearing this, Qian Dajuan's face immediately fell, her eyes glared, and her voice was about to get louder, "How can you let it go? On what basis should you let it go? I paid for your defective products, and it's not okay?"
"Oh, Mom, what are you doing?" Seeing many people looking over here, even the customers in the store were looking over, He Hua got angry, "Mom, you really want me to lose my job, right? This is not a state-owned unit. If the boss says to fire me, I will fire you. Please don't hurt me."
She sounded so serious that Qian Dajuan was shocked. "Is it really that serious? It's just a few pieces of clothing. It doesn't matter how you sell them. She'll just make a little less money. She has so many stores, so much money, and a capable boyfriend. How can she be interested in such a small amount of money? You're just trying to scare your mother."
Qian Dajuan didn't give He Hua a chance to react and went straight to find the goods to get the clothes. She had been there several times, so she knew where He Hua got them from. She went over and took them out without even looking at the size. They were all about the same size anyway, so she stuffed them directly into her bag.
He Hua was anxious, "Mom, Mom, please don't do this when I get off work..."
"What's going on here?"
He Hua froze and turned around, only to see Qin Xiang, Mi Hongjun, He Liping and others standing at the door of the store.
"What I'm doing is none of your business." Qian Dajuan tugged at He Hua, "Hurry up, finish the packing so I can leave. People are waiting to get the goods. It's just a matter of making a little less money. Your boss isn't that petty."
He Hua looked desperate and reached out to pull her mother.
Qian Dajuan realized something was wrong at this moment and turned around, but she didn't recognize Qin Xiang. She was a little surprised, "He Hua, what's wrong with you? She's just a little pretty, why bother with you?"
He Hua was about to cry, "Boss..."
"Boss?" Qian Dajuan was so shocked that she dropped the bag.
