In 1983, the country attached great importance to attracting investment, and the Foreign Trade Bureau also had annual foreign exchange earnings targets. When Director Su heard that Qiao Qinglu was from Hong Kong and was planning to invest in a factory, he was naturally very welcoming. After introducing a series of preferential investment policies, he arranged for Secretary Tao and Wang Feiyan to drive them to inspect garment factories, fabric factories, auxiliary materials factories and other factories.
After inspecting more than 20 factories, Qiao Qinglu prepared to acquire the Red Pearl Garment Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to problems with cash flow.
The owner of this garment factory had an accident half a month ago. Now the factory has stopped production, all the working capital has been used to pay the workers' wages, and a large amount of liquidated damages for orders has not been paid. Only Deputy Director Peng is left, along with some equipment, fabrics, and semi-finished clothing.
Qiao Qinglu looked at the factory's location, area, equipment, remaining fabrics, and semi-finished products, and after talking with Deputy Director Peng, she decided to take over the factory.
She talked to Director Su and agreed to take over the factory, but under two conditions:
1. Land Security: The entire factory, including the 3,000 square meters of vacant land behind it, must be sold to her so she can expand the factory.
2. Tax and fee reductions and loan support: All taxes paid must be returned to the enterprise in the first five years, and 50% in the next five years. Banks must also provide loan support.
After Director Su reported this to the city leaders, they replied that these two conditions were acceptable, namely:
1. The penalty for overdue orders shall be paid by Qiao Qinglu.
2. Qiao Qinglu must take over some of the workers in the factory.
Qiao Qinglu thought about it and decided that paying the penalty was no problem, but the person who took over must pass the assessment. For example, she would keep talents like Deputy Director Peng. Sales personnel would be evaluated based on their performance, and workers would be evaluated based on their business capabilities.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Director Su.
After negotiating the cooperation, signing the contract, paying the penalty, taking out a mortgage, interviewing workers, and purchasing transport vehicles, Qiao Qinglu changed the name of the garment factory to Nishang Garment Factory, called Commander Liu and his family, and asked the demobilized soldier, his wife, Ke Bin, and Master Yu to go south.
Since then, a new chapter has been opened for IMMORTAL Fashion Group, which not only led the fashion trends of red skirts, sportswear, bat shirts, leggings, denim shirts, hooded sweatshirts and other fashion trends in the 1980s and 1990s, but also established two high-end customized series, Yunshang and Yuyi, as well as mid- and low-end series brands such as Wushang, Fengshang and Dieyi.
In 1984, Xiao Appliance Store expanded its business scale, added fresh food, daily necessities, hardware department stores and Dieyi series clothing, and became a large supermarket.
In 1985, Nichang Clothing and Xiaojia Supermarket began to expand further, with franchise stores popping up in first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Yangcheng, and the Special Economic Zone. In addition, the company also encountered a million-strong military downsizing. In order to ensure the transportation of goods, Qiao Qinglu established a logistics company and a security company, recruited thousands of veterans, and was rated as a military-supporting enterprise in Yanjing City, the Special Economic Zone, and Yangcheng.
In the past few years, Qiao Qinglu has bought shops in Yanjing, Haishi, Yangcheng, and the Special Economic Zone, hoarded real estate, and purchased land and built buildings in these first-tier cities as employee benefits. This not only successfully retained excellent old employees, but also attracted a large number of new employees.
In 1988, Xiao Qinyun graduated with a doctorate. Over the years, he devoted himself to computer research and finally made some achievements in computer motherboards and hard drives. He established Feiyun Computer Company in the Special Administrative Region and entered the computer industry.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the millennium, Nichang Clothing and Xiaojia Supermarket were listed, and the triplets were 25 years old.
After graduating with a doctorate from the National University of Defense Technology, Mantou joined the Secret Aviation Research Base; after graduating from military school, Doubao joined the Nanjing Military Region and is currently serving in Xiamen as a naval captain; after graduating with a degree in design from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tangyuan joined Nishang and is now able to independently design a series of clothing.
This year, Qiao Qinglu donated all the cultural relics in Nanluoguxiang to the National Museum, leaving only a few pieces of furniture and jewelry, and received a donation certificate.
This year, Qiao Qinglu was 49 years old and Xiao Qinyun was 52 years old. She planned to retire. Her children were busy with their own careers and had no intention of taking over. So, she recruited a few CEOs to take charge and then let go.
Every year after that, she and Xiao Qinyun spent several months taking the elderly Xiao Xu, Qiao Xu, and Qiao Li on trips to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Until their parents were old and could no longer move, one day, Qiao Qinglu fell asleep in the rocking chair in the courtyard while smelling the fragrance of osmanthus and never woke up again.
After sending Qiao Qinglu away, Xiao Qinyun became increasingly silent. A month later, he also fell asleep peacefully. In his dream, she smiled like a flower, and he ran to catch up with her...
