"Is that so?" Jiang Shiyue clinked her bowl of icy porridge with Director Yu's. "Thank you for your kindness, Director Yu, but I don't like being constrained. I'll let you off the hook for work, thank you!"
Director Chen was amused, and smiled at Director Yu with a gloating look on his face. "Look, what did I say?"
Director Yu was mentally prepared, but still felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
Jiang Shiyue certainly wouldn't block her own path, so she smiled and said, "Although I can't go to work, I still hope to cooperate with Director Yu."
"How to cooperate?" Director Yu was very interested.
"We'll discuss this later. Everyone should do their job. My job today is to sell work clothes." Jiang Shiyue gestured for Director Chen to raise his glass. "Come, let's toast to everyone. Thank you for your support. I hope we can cooperate more in the future!"
The people at the table clinked glasses, and Jiang Shiyue drank plain water.
Knowing that Jiang Shiyue was going to take the college entrance examination the next day, no one persuaded her to drink.
Director Chen and Director Zhang from the business department went to each table to toast. Jiang Shiyue took a handheld loudspeaker and stood in the middle of the hall to "live broadcast and sell goods."
A pair of male and female models wearing the same work clothes stood next to Jiang Shiyue.
"Everyone, eat and drink, just leave your ears to me." Jiang Shiyue gestured with her eyes to the male and female models to show off their work clothes from different angles and poses. "The design concept of this work clothes..."
She explained clearly the advantages of work clothes and the occupations they are suitable for.
This pair of models stepped back and the next pair took over to explain.
After explaining all the features of the work clothes, Jiang Shiyue took the cup handed to him by Liu Yuanyuan and drank a sip of water before continuing, "Everyone should be full and satisfied by now. Let's talk about some business while it's cool.
Most of us here today are engaged in the service industry. Perhaps at this stage, in terms of social status, to some extent, our status is not as high as that of production workers.
Many leaders question why they should spend more than the production workers' uniforms to buy such different uniforms. What can these uniforms bring to the company?
Shouldn’t we emulate the front-line production workers?
I won’t say much about whether there is any difference. The workers in our factory have demonstrated it, and you have also seen what the waiters who came in were wearing.
Work clothes also represent the image of the company.
Society is evolving. You should all be aware of the economic news. Perhaps before long, the current situation of "one spoon in the pot, one ...
The mission of workers in a production workshop is production. They need work clothes that are convenient, wear-resistant, and dirt-resistant. The essence of the service industry is service..."
After finishing the summary, Jiang Shiyue took out a stack of 88% off coupons and twisted them into a fan shape, "Let me tell you about the second round of discounts. Those who sign a contract with our garment factory today can get clothes from us at 88% off next time.
"To those leaders who are hesitant and waiting, believe me, the discounts will get smaller and smaller in the future. You may even have to buy our workwear only from distributors. By then, it might be hard to even afford our clothes!"
Those responsible who had already been interested began to raise their hands.
"Give me twenty sets!"
"I want sixty sets!"
"I want thirty-five sets!"
“…”
Jiang Shiyue thanked him verbally and gestured to the business department to deliver the contract.
Some people who were waiting and watching had no choice but to sign as well after seeing their classmates signing.
After all, one should be grateful for what one has received. I spent the morning watching and eating, and even got a set of work clothes for free.
You have to buy work clothes anyway, so it doesn’t matter whose they are.
But once you buy work clothes, you have to buy enough for the entire company for a year, which costs a lot of money!
In 1978, restaurants looked very much like classrooms, and were usually large square rooms.
The Patriotic Hotel is quite large, with more than twenty large square tables.
After the salesperson finished the round, he handed a thick stack of contracts to the accountant who had prepared them long ago.
The accountant's abacus clattered.
"Five hundred and eighty sets of work clothes in total."
Jiang Shiyue nodded.
Liu Yuanyuan had been following Jiang Shiyue, and when she heard this, she exclaimed, "Twenty sets short of six hundred. Sister Yueyue, is this a coincidence?"
"Guess?" Jiang Shiyue deliberately kept her in suspense.
It was definitely not a coincidence. She had asked Director Chen to find out exactly how many employees there were in these units and made an estimate based on that.
In fact, she estimated that there would be about 610 units, so there would still be a gap of 10 units, creating the illusion of supply exceeding demand.
It's a shame, there are 30 sets missing, but it doesn't affect the overall situation.
"How much do these 600 sets cost?" Liu Yuanyuan asked.
Of course, the accountant would not announce the transaction price in public, just pretend he didn't hear it.
Jiang Shiyue thought the cheapest set of work clothes was 85 yuan, and the most expensive was 120 yuan. Taking the middle number, it was 102 yuan.
Calculated at 100 yuan, it would be 58,000 yuan.
She could get a commission of nearly 6,000 yuan, and she smiled so hard that her eyes curved.
Adding the more than 20,000 yuan from before, she can earn about 8,000 yuan a day today.
However, the 100 sets ordered by Director Yu barely covered the cost, so Jiang Shiyue planned to ask for a lower commission.
Let’s talk about the bill after she finishes the college entrance examination.
After the dinner, Director Chen and the workers of the garment factory cleaned up the mess.
Jiang Shiyue hurriedly left the restaurant and found a ticket scalper. She bought fifty yuan worth of grain and oil tickets and went to the grain and oil store to buy various seasonings.
Then he went to find Guo Qingyuan with a net bag full of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cumin, star anise, etc.
Guo Qingyuan was also very quick and efficient, having already skinned the pigs and sheep. Seeing Jiang Shiyue coming over, he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said, "I don't know anyone who drives a truck, so I asked our team leader to borrow our production team's tractor. Is that okay?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded and asked Guo Qingyuan to slice a few pounds of meat from one of the pigs and one of the sheep.
Guo Qingyuan held up the freshly cut meat and said, "Comrade Jiang, wait a moment. I'll wash it and pack it separately for you."
Jiang Shiyue shook her head, "Don't pretend. This is a gift for you."
Guo Qingyuan exclaimed, "Huh?" and waved his hands repeatedly. "No! This meat costs a lot of money!"
"You didn't sleep last night, worked all morning, and helped me make these at noon. Consider this as a small token of my gratitude. If you don't accept it, then I won't buy it!"
Only then did Guo Qingyuan accept it and thanked him again and again.
His childhood friend drove a tractor to take Jiang Shiyue back to the compound. Strange vehicles were definitely not allowed to enter without permission, so Jiang Shiyue asked the young man to help her move the bamboo basket containing the meat and place it at the door.
I got out of the car and stuffed another ten yuan into his pocket. "Thank you for driving me back. This is for gas."
People need to be thankful, and tractors need to burn oil.
Jiang Shiyue didn't know the price of oil, so he tried to give as much as possible.
This young man was more lively and capable than Guo Qingyuan. After refusing twice, he saw that Jiang Shiyue was sincere in giving it to him, so he smiled, thanked her, and drove the tractor back.
The sentry saw three large bamboo baskets full of meat and couldn't help but look at them again and again.
