Chapter 115: A Long Drought and a Rainy Season (Tenth Update, Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Monthly Passes!)
The next morning, Zhang Chong drove the car, carrying Xu Yiyang and Xu's mother, to Dongshili together.
The garment factory where Xu Ma worked before was in Dongshili, but Xu Yiyang had never been here, and today was the first time.
When she was on the road, Xu Ma introduced Xu Yiyang to the garment factory called Guancheng Garment, a private enterprise that has been working for more than ten years.
Guancheng Garment had a good business in the early years, but the benefits have become worse and worse in recent years, and later it can only survive by relying on the mass customization of local schools and enterprises.
But even so, the business is not in order.
Since last year, a large garment factory in Quancheng has grabbed orders everywhere, not only maliciously competing, but also blatantly giving kickbacks, and many orders from Yingzhou enterprises and schools have been snatched away by the other party.
Director Li of Guancheng Garment is a decent person, and he is not flexible, and he can't handle the key people in the procurement of schools and units, so he gradually loses in the competition.
Because it has been losing money, Guancheng Garment has also owed a lot of loans to the bank, and it has been unable to make ends meet since the beginning of the year.
The east ten miles where Guancheng garment is located are relatively barren as a whole, and there are basically no buildings with more than five floors on both sides of the national highway, which is particularly depressed.
At a fork in the national highway, there is a mottled billboard that reads: Guancheng Garment Company, 800 meters inward.
When the car drove in, you could see an open-air driving practice area with a driving school next to it.
Xu Yiyang glanced at it and found that some crooked bamboo poles were erected everywhere in the venue, and some students were practicing around a few green 212 jeeps.
So he asked Zhang Chong: "Lao Zhang, is it troublesome to get a driver's license now?"
Zhang Chong said with a smile: "What's the trouble, I've passed the theory test, and the rest of the practice can be passed in a few days, do you see those bamboo poles in their venue? ”
Saying that, Zhang Chong said again: "I have a buddy who works at the DMV, if you want to get a driver's license, I will help you say hello, and you will definitely get the license in 20 days at the earliest." ”
"So fast?" Xu Yiyang was extremely surprised, he only took the driver's license after graduating from college in his previous life, and he took the test in Yanjing, at that time the exam was not too troublesome, but it took a month or two before and after a subject was not hung up.
Zhang Chong said with a smile: "There are not many of us who learn to drive, the exam is arranged quickly, if you learn quickly, take a test a week, test the theory first, I will find someone for you during the written test, go directly, I will also find a relationship between the venue and the road test, and it should be done soon." ”
Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "It's so simple?"
Zhang Chong said with a smile: "You can find acquaintances in the exam, say hello and close one eye and pass." ”
Xu Yiyang was a little moved when he heard this.
He has been a veteran driver for more than ten years, and he can easily pass the test without going through the back door, mainly because he is afraid that the time will be delayed for too long.
However, since the test is so casual now, it should be very fast to get a driver's license.
Thinking of this, Xu Yiyang said to Zhang Chong: "When I leave the garment factory later, I will go to the driving school by the way, and I will sign up." ”
While speaking, the car had already driven to the door of Guancheng Clothing.
On the door of the gate, there are four big characters painted on the iron sheet: Guancheng clothing.
The paint was cracked and mottled, and it looked particularly defeated.
The factory covers an area of not small, in addition to an old-fashioned large factory building with a red brick structure, there are several bungalows and a yard of two or three thousand square meters.
Although the place is big, in the broken place of East Shili, the land is really worthless.
Guancheng Garment now doesn't even have a doorman, the rusty iron door is directly open, and Zhang Chong drove the car directly into the yard.
There were no cars in the yard, just a row of tattered bicycles against the wall, and the only motor vehicle was an old scooter.
Xu Yiyang's mother, who was sitting next to him, pointed to a bungalow next to the factory and said, "That's the factory director's office." ”
Zhang Chong simply parked the car at the door of the factory director's office.
Immediately, the car turned off, and the three pushed the door and got out of the car.
At this time, a few employees inside poked their heads out and saw a brand-new car, and they all felt very strange.
The sharp-eyed one recognized Mother Xu, and asked in surprise: "Sister Lu, why are you here?!"
Mother Xu smiled and said, "Xiaoma, I'll come over to talk to the factory director about something." ”
The man smiled and said, "Sister Lu is amazing! I've got in a car! Oh, this is your son, right? I've seen it on TV! It's really promising!"
Xu Yiyang nodded at the eldest sister, Xu Ma smiled humbly and was about to speak, when the door of the factory director's office suddenly opened, and a young woman in her twenties appeared at the door.
Xu Yiyang glanced at this woman and couldn't help but be surprised.
In fact, with the aesthetics he cultivated in later generations, most women have no amazing feeling when they look at them these days.
Gu Sijia and Shen Lele are just childish little girls, good-looking is good-looking, but their temperament is too immature.
Moreover, even if she is a mature woman in her twenties, there are few that can make him shine, because in his opinion, either she has a slightly earthy temperament or poor clothing.
Especially the issue of clothing, which is really a huge gap left by the times.
The clothes that women think are very fashionable in this era are difficult to see in Xu Yiyang's eyes.
However, the woman in front of her not only has delicate and beautiful facial features, a slender and tall figure, but more importantly, her clothes give Xu Yiyang an illusion of overlapping times.
She wore a loose white blouse with sleeves casually rolled up to the elbows, and the shirt had a faint natural fold.
The lower body is a pair of light blue straight-leg jeans, I don't know if it's a washing and aging process, or it's really old, the white hue in the light blue of the jeans is perfect in Xu Yiyang's opinion.
Compared with the big bell bottoms that have become a disaster on the street, these ordinary straight-leg pants look particularly fresh.
Moreover, she tied her long hair into a ball head, and with the appearance of rolling up her sleeves, she gave a very capable feeling.
The woman stood in the doorway, watching a brand-new Buick sedan drive in, also a little surprised.
Looking at the three people next to the car, they found that Mother Xu was a little familiar, so she said in surprise: "Aunt Lu?"
Mother Xu was also surprised and asked, "Xiaoxuan, when did you come back?"
The young woman said: "Aunt Lu, I just came back at the beginning of the month, my dad has not been in good health recently, he was hospitalized for a few days some time, and he was just discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home." ”
Mother Xu hurriedly asked, "Director Li's body doesn't matter, right?"
The young woman smiled slightly and said, "It's just that I'm overworked, and I'm in a bad mood, and my body can't bear it a little, but now I'm better, and I'm recuperating at home." ”
Mother Xu nodded, and asked again: "Are you now in charge of the factory for Director Li?"
"yes. The young woman sighed and said helplessly: "My father's physical condition is that he can't take care of the factory, so I came back to help him for a while. ”
Mother Xu nodded, introduced Xu Yiyang beside her, and said, "By the way, Xiaoxuan, this is my son, Xu Yiyang." ”
Xu Yiyang nodded at her and said, "Hello." ”
The young woman smiled and said, "Hello, I've heard everyone talk about you for a long time, and they say that you are very good!"
Mother Xu smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan, don't hold him." ”
said, and said to Xu Yiyang: "Yangyang, this is the daughter of Director Li, Li Xuan, you have to be called Sister Xuan." ”
Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Sister Xuan is good." ”
"Hello!" Li Xuan smiled and said, "Come in and sit!"
Xu's mother took Xu Yiyang in and said with a smile: "I brought my son here because he wanted to order a batch of T-shirts, I don't know if our factory still accepts orders?"
"Pick it up!" Li Xuan's face was overjoyed, and said: "I'm just looking for orders everywhere every day, this factory can't be sold for a day, so it has to continue to operate, and once the work is stopped, it can't be sold at a high price." ”
If a factory is no longer functioning properly, buyers will definitely reduce the price to death.
Because he knew that after the factory was shut down, the factory owner could not afford it at all, so he could only get rid of it as soon as possible.
So if you want to sell at a normal price, you have to make sure that the factory is still running.
If you want the factory to run properly, you have to have orders.
Li Xuan said, looked at Xu Yiyang, and asked, "Mr. Xu, I don't know what kind of T-shirt you want to order, and what is the approximate number?"
Xu Yiyang said: "Sister Xuan, don't call me Mr. Xu in front of my mother, just call me by my name." ”
Li Xuan said with a smile: "Talking about business is still asking Mr. Xu to look formal." ”
Xu Yiyang didn't insist, and went straight to the point: "That's the case, I want to order a batch of short-sleeved T-shirts and print my brand logo on them." ”
Li Xuan nodded and said, "This is no problem, we can do it, I don't know how many pieces Mr. Xu is going to order?"
Xu Yiyang thought for a while and said, "In terms of quantity, I want to set 20,000 pieces first, and if the scale of the training class is expanded, there will definitely be more." ”
At present, the students in English class and mathematics class of Jiayang Education are also thousands larger, and they will continue to expand to the surrounding areas.
So 20,000 pieces is only the first batch.
What Xu Yiyang thinks is that these cultural shirts will be made and prioritized in new cities.
When the time comes, the cultural shirt will be directly regarded as a promotional event, such as the first batch of 2,000 people who sign up will be sent directly, which will be more conducive to promotion.
The cost of a T-shirt is not high, and if there are 2,000 children running around in a city with such a T-shirt, the publicity effect is absolutely very good.
When it develops to Quancheng and Qingdao, the two largest cities in the province, the cultural shirt printed with the logo will definitely have a greater effect on publicity.
Moreover, you can also send a batch of old students to Yingzhou, as well as for follow-up registration promotions, or consumption pre-deposit promotions, such as one for two consecutive registrations, and one for pre-deposit of more than 200 yuan.
It seems to be a gift, but the more you actually send, the more you earn.
Li Xuan was taken aback by this number, and subconsciously asked: "Mr. Xu, you just said that you wanted 20,000 pieces?!"
Xu Yiyang gave her an affirmative answer: "That's right, it's 20,000 pieces, and this is only the first batch." ”
When Li Xuan heard this, she suddenly felt that she had grasped a life-saving straw.
She thought that hundreds or thousands of pieces would be great, but she really didn't expect that Xu Yiyang would be 20,000 as soon as she opened her mouth.
Recently, Li Xuan has been troubled by the situation of her own garment factory, not to mention that the bank owes more than 100,000 loans, and the orders are basically finished.
The factory laid off a group of employees a few years ago, and it has been unable to make ends meet until now by relying on some tail orders.
And the biggest problem is that the tail list is getting less and less, and there is no new order coming in, seeing that the factory has no order to do after this batch of tail lists, once there is no order, the factory will inevitably stop production, and the employees can only be dismissed, and then the factory will only be left to sell the cabbage price.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Yiyang suddenly came out, and he asked for 20,000 T-shirts as soon as he opened his mouth.
Now that the garment factory has not yet found a home, the remaining tail orders will be completed soon, and the most important thing now is to find orders so that the factory can maintain its operation.
Even if it doesn't make money, at least it can feed the workers and keep the factory running.
Therefore, these 20,000 T-shirts are indeed a timely rain that can save lives for Guancheng Garment!
