"Why are we going to the steel plant?" Xixi asked in confusion.
"Go buy the wire, and then go customize the cookware." Jiang Zhining stroked her head.
You can use a grill for outdoor grilling, but the store lets customers grill themselves, so a grill pan is needed.
The cost of electricity is too high now, so it is more cost-effective to use charcoal.
So what she wanted to do was have a charcoal fire underneath and a stainless steel grill pan on top.
The baking pan she needed wasn't available on the market, so she decided to have it custom-made.
She remembered from what she had learned that steel mills of that era already had the technology to produce stainless steel, so she wanted to go to the largest steel mill in the north city to buy steel.
When she arrived at the steel plant, Jiang Zhining went straight to Director Chen and told him her purpose of buying stainless steel.
After buying the stainless steel, Jiang Zhining immediately went to a factory, which was a smelting plant specializing in the production of cookware and steel tools.
The factory manager looked at the design drawing in his hand and said in surprise: "Sister, I have never seen a pot like this before."
"I designed this according to my own needs. Our factory has the technology to refine stainless steel, so it's not difficult to make a baking tray like this." Jiang Zhining said with a smile, "Director, the price is negotiable."
The factory manager looked at the detailed design and said with a smile, "Sister, how about we talk about business?"
Jiang Zhining looked at him puzzledly: "Business?"
"I can produce dozens of these baking pans for you for free, but you have to keep the blueprint with us, and our factory can obtain the right to use it. How about that?"
The factory manager looked at the design and felt that this thing would become popular in the future. If he could be the first to try it, he might make a lot of money.
That night he also went to Zhonghe Theater to watch the big show. He felt that Jiang Zhining was a smart businessman. If she could drive this business, it would also promote the sales of their factory.
Jiang Zhining chuckled: "Director, how much does it cost to make this cookware? The profit from this design far exceeds the production cost."
Do you really think she is stupid?
The factory manager thought for a moment and said, "How about this. If we sell this pot, you can get a 5% commission. How about that?"
"10%." Jiang Zhining smiled. "When electricity becomes more popular in China, I can design another electric grill pan."
The factory manager struggled for a moment, then readily replied, "Okay, that's it."
Afterwards, Jiang Zhining signed a cooperation agreement with the factory director and then left.
"Mom is so awesome." Song Ye, who witnessed the whole process, had anticipation in his eyes.
Jiang Zhining ruffled his hair and said, "This incident tells you that you should study more often. Learning is not limited to books, but also includes life. You never know when it will come in handy."
Although Song Ye didn't understand, he felt that what Jiang Zhining said must make sense, so he nodded heavily: "I will study hard."
On the Lantern Festival, Jiang Zhining and the children came to the Shen family together.
"Zhi Ning is here." Shen Liqing welcomed her warmly.
"Hello, auntie." Jiang Zhining called sweetly.
Although she and Shen Liqing were not related by blood, they got along well and felt like old friends from the moment they met, so it wasn't too difficult for her to call her "Auntie."
Shen Liqing held Jiang Zhining's hand tightly, and her eyes unconsciously revealed her liking for her.
She likes girls who are smart, confident, beautiful and have good personalities, and Jiang Zhining fits the bill perfectly.
Looking at Shen Xuesong standing beside Jiang Zhining, holding the gift Jiang Zhining brought in his hand, the handsome man and beautiful woman looked very well matched.
But the next second, looking at the three children beside her, Shen Liqing sighed silently: It would be great if Jiang Zhining could marry into the Shen family, what a pity.
"Call someone quickly." Jiang Zhining looked at Song Chen and others.
"Hello, aunt." Xixi took the lead and called in a baby voice, not forgetting to bow sensibly.
Shen Liqing looked at the little girl, with a kind look between her brows: “What a cute little girl, this dress is also very beautiful.”
Xixi raised her little head and said proudly, "This is what mom made for me. Mom is so great."
Shen Liqing was stunned: "Zhi Ning, you can also make clothes?"
Jiang Zhining smiled and said, "I have learned this before."
Shen Liqing looked at Jiang Zhining in amazement: "You know so many things, you are really a treasure girl. Come on, let's go inside and talk."
As she spoke, Shen Liqing led Jiang Zhining and others into the house.
When the group walked into the house, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Zhining is naturally beautiful. Today she is wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam with velvet and a high slit design, exuding sexiness and seduction.
Her delicate facial features were lightly made up, making her skin look as white as milk and as smooth as a baby's.
Xixi, on the other hand, wore a red modified Tang suit for New Year greetings. The pearl buttons and the festive patterns unique to the New Year combined to create a simple yet warm look.
The big skirt makes Xixi look lively and cute.
Song Chen and Song Ye were wearing cotton coats. Song Chen was wearing a long black cotton coat, which showed his calm temperament.
Song Ye wore a brick-red short cotton jacket with a loose and baggy style, paired with dark trousers, looking handsome.
"Hello, old lady, hello, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen." Jiang Zhining said with a smile and presented a gift.
The old lady looked at her kindly and took her hand affectionately: "It's good enough that you just come. Why bring gifts? It's a waste of money."
Jiang Zhining sat beside her with a warm smile: "This is the proper etiquette. I'm very happy that the old lady doesn't mind."
"Don't mind. I'm very happy that Zhining can come."
The old lady liked Jiang Zhining very much because she would fully consider her preferences when making pastries, which showed that she was a sensible and good girl.
When people get along with each other, the most precious thing is sincerity.
"This child's clothes are so beautiful." Xu Suzhen was surprised. "Miss Jiang, where did you buy these clothes? I plan to buy a few for my nephew."
"Xixi and her brother's clothes are all made by our mother." Xixi said proudly.
Hearing this, several people in the room looked at Jiang Zhining, including Shen Aotian, the head of the Shen family.
"Zhi Ning, did you really do this?" The old lady was stunned.
"Yes, I was free before, so I thought about making some clothes." Jiang Zhining answered truthfully.
"I thought you only designed skirts for girls, but I didn't expect you designed skirts for boys as well. Zhining, if your clothes can be sold, they will definitely be very popular." Shen Liqing said truthfully.
Jiang Zhining smiled faintly. These clothes are unique and beautiful in style. If they are mass-produced, they will still have a market.
"I don't have that much time for mass production." Jiang Zhining said truthfully.
In addition, the cost of opening a factory is high, so she doesn't want to get involved for the time being.
At this time, Shen Aotian, who had remained silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Miss Jiang, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with the Shen family?"
Jiang Zhining looked at him: "I don't understand what Mr. Shen means."
"Our Shen family owns a clothing business, and I'd like to hire you as a designer for the clothing company."
Jiang Zhining was surprised: "Designer?"
