Chapter 244: Next

On February 23, 1982, the newspaper published the news that "the filming of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" is in preparation".

How to choose the characters and who will play the leading role in the play have become the focus of social attention for a while.

On the same day, Ning Weimin also descended from the sky and finally obtained the 50,000 yuan start-up capital approved by Song Huagui.

Needless to say, having money in hand is of course completely different.

Since then, although nominally, Ning Weimin is responsible for the management of the Zhaigong Exhibition Hall and the Jianguo Hotel clothing franchise store, which are still subordinate units of the head office.

However, because there is no need to ask the company for instructions on everything, it has almost completely escaped the constraints of the head office.

Ning Weimin has already turned these two places into small units with independent accounting in essence.

That is to say, he is equivalent to being "divided", and finally became a genuine "prince".

You can do whatever you want.

Not to mention, our Marquis Ning really doesn't practice the financial power he just won.

As soon as the money arrived, before it was hot, he hurriedly threw it out.

Not to mention anything else, the four new employees he just selected through the "foreign service" did not go through the pre-job training of the head office.

He was directly brought to the palace, and together with the old workers of the "Twelve Hairpins", he participated in his carefully prepared and unique training subjects.

It is very different from the usual typing, faxing, strengthening foreign languages, and popularizing basic foreign trade knowledge training content of the head office.

Ning Weimin is more concerned about practicality.

Therefore, the course he set is four aspects, foreign language, makeup, appearance and clothing sales knowledge.

As for the teachers, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support his connections, and at the cost of 35 yuan and 20 yuan for a class respectively, he invited an in-service flight attendant team leader and a friendship store clothing department leader from Air China to train the girls.

At the same time, he also bought lipstick, blush, mascara, and high heels from all the girls in the Friendship Store.

And at the price of 400 yuan per person in Xisi, according to the new uniform style of civil aviation, each of the 16 girls was tailor-made with three sets of work clothes for one winter, two summers.

To put it bluntly, that's a real blood!

Before it started to create benefits, these expenses alone reached 8,000 yuan.

And it is clear that an international brand clothing franchise store would have to pay such a large price to hire tailors to imitate other people's uniforms to customize tooling for its own employees.

This is, of course, a little ridiculous to say.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of most people, this move will be considered pure stupidity to ride a horse to find a horse.

But in fact, this is not the case, and this move is extremely necessary.

Because by nature, Pierre Carton's women's clothing is not suitable for work clothes.

The design style of the master has always been the pursuit of avant-garde unique style.

Whether it was the "bubble skirt" that withdrew in the fifties, or the "spacesuit" series in the sixties.

can reflect the strong "futurism" in his works.

Even he is now influenced by the cornices of our ancient buildings to create the "wide shoulder pads".

It's also out of tradition and exaggerated.

To be honest, in Ning Weimin's view, the master's reputation in the Western fashion industry is mainly due to the exploration of clothing styles, and he is often able to break the boundaries of imagination, so that he will be recognized and sought after by his peers.

If it weren't for the opportune time, our republic would have been banned for too long in terms of personal beauty.

After the sudden ban, Chinese people subconsciously love unconventional fancy clothes, and the more exaggerated they are, the more they love it.

It is really unknown whether Pierre Carton's clothes will open up the domestic market.

Anyway, according to Ning Weimin's cognition and aesthetics, the women's clothing of "PC" is only suitable for the stage, but it is a little far away from reality, and the commercial cost performance is not high.

Of course, he didn't want his subordinates to be like the girls in the company, turning into goblins with teeth and claws.

Even if the flowers are becoming more and more charming, the eyes are a kind of bewitching beauty.

But what is certain is that such a flamboyant dress is not like selling clothes, let alone service.

Ning Weimin needs his employees to be beautiful, but more importantly, he must keep a low profile and solemnity.

What's more, the women's clothing of "PC" is ready-to-wear, which itself is a civilian fashion abroad, winning by style rather than quality.

How long can you wear it?

If you go on every day, you have to change to a new set in a few months, so how much does it cost?

On the other hand, Ning Weimin is a tailor master who "makes inches", and it is different to tailor the clothes for the girls. Nine cakes in Chinese

You must know that the capital has always had the reputation of "men's clothing goes to Raymond, and women's clothing needs to be made".

It is because these two stores have contracted all the tasks of the leader's garment.

Before the sixties, the clothes of our leaders and the clothes of several first ladies came from only these two stores.

Like the 'red capital' that is now popular, it is only a rising star.

It's entirely because the "movement" has sealed "Raymond". It had a chance to take over the banner for the production of menswear.

Therefore, the craftsmanship of "making inches" alone is valuable.

Ning Weimin's investment in the purchase cost of personnel going abroad is destined not to be in vain.

From the fit body, it would be a cut above the clothes that directly passed on Pierre Caton.

Add to this the fact that in 1980, our civil aviation had just left the Air Force, and the uniforms of flight attendants became more beautiful as a result.

Ning Weimin made further changes on the basis of style and color.

He demanded a slimmer cut and changed the blue color of his uniform to black.

In the end, according to the pattern of the future, each girl was given two silk scarves made by Pierre Carton from the Republic and exported to Europe.

It is no exaggeration to say that such clothes can really wear the taste of luxury.

It's even more like a flight attendant than a real flight attendant.

It's a bit Japanese.

On the day when the first set was put on, the girl who put on the clothes was very happy and excited.

Even Huo Xin, the head of the flight attendant, was surprised.

They didn't expect that Ning Weimin's modified tooling would work so well.

This made both of them very envious.

Huo Xin immediately asked to make one for himself.

Of course, Ning Weimin couldn't refuse this, so he had to spit blood, and spent another four hundred to give her an additional order.

The flight attendant team leader is out of line, and she can only envy in vain.

At most, I sighed in my heart that Ghost Li was better than Li Kui.

However, it must also be said that the effect of these investments is very obvious.

Because when these girls improve their image and manners day by day.

Ning Weimin can also obviously feel that there are more and more visitors to the palace, and it is obvious that the stay time has become longer.

Many male tourists are reluctant to leave, especially those who come to buy clothes, and often stay at the café in the West Side Courtyard for a while.

Especially when the new uniform is put on again, it's completely finished!

Although in Ning Weimin's opinion, his changed clothes are still very traditional.

The girls didn't even wear skirts, they were still trousers.

But on the same day, not only did the flow of people in the exhibition hall gradually accumulate.

The café is also full, and there are a few Hong Kong tourists wearing Hong Kong-style clothes, who have nothing to say to the girls.

This effect is probably as sensational as Kang Shude's mouth, when a female clerk appeared in the capital for the first time.

When the old man was drinking, he told Ning Weimin about this paragraph.

In the past, no matter how big or small the trading place, whether it was in charge of the accounts or standing at the counter, there were absolutely no female clerks.

Even if it is a state agency, there is no such thing as a female employee.

But in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, this conventional rule was broken by a rather "quack" name.

At that time, it was Wangfujing Street, the stationery company of "151" diagonally opposite Dong'an Shopping Mall, and two "Mies" first appeared, responsible for selling pencils and erasers at the counter.

That's amazing!

It's in short supply, especially for college students, as if they don't want money, crazy robbery!

As a result, the order was chaotic, so the patrol police were recruited.

Therefore, in view of the lessons of history, Ning Weimin made a decision to temporarily clear the site for the first time on the grounds of equipment maintenance.

After that, he applied to the park management office, and he was willing to pay for the park to have three or four security personnel patrol here for a long time.

And complain again about discipline with the girls, and you can't talk about non-work content.
