Chapter 215: A New Life

Heading into March, companies have already started to get busy.

The offline channels of Meigou have begun to be laid out, and the channel of Huashang store is relatively simple, just set up a cosmetics counter, and there is no need to even configure a shopping guide.

However, the shop-in-shop of THE TOP SHOP is much more troublesome, and the store decoration of THE TOP SHOP IS VERY EXQUISITE, SO IF YOU WANT TO OPEN A SPECIAL AREA IN THE STORE, YOU MUST MAKE CORRESPONDING DESIGN ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO THE DECORATION STYLE OF EACH STORE IN THE TOP SHOP.

It's going to take a while, but there's no rush on it.

Similarly, Huashang brand and THE TOP SHOP will also need to wait for a while to enter the Meigou website and open a special area.

Because this involves the adjustment of the page of the United States shopping network, it is not only necessary to add a navigation bar of "clothing area" on the homepage.

Also consider the homepage display, the special area settings, the functional menu of the brand page, and so on.

This also requires giving the technician something to do to make these adjustments.

According to Liu An's estimate, it will take about a month to develop and debug, that is to say, around April 1, the "clothing zone" of Meigou.com will be officially launched.

……

THE TOP SHOP IS NOT ONLY BUSY COOPERATING WITH MEIGO.COM, BUT ITS MORE IMPORTANT THING IS TO CONTINUE TO OPEN STORES!

Of the 38 stores in the mainland, almost 20 opened in a period of time before the year, and the remaining 18 will open soon after the year.

This batch of stores really cost Huashang International a considerable part of the funds!

Because they are all high-end shopping malls of choice, they are all large stores of more than 1,000 square meters. According to THE TOP SHOP'S CONSISTENT DECORATION STYLE AND BRAND POSITIONING, THE DECORATION COST IS TOO EXPENSIVE.

Of the 38 stores, only eight are flagship stores, which are like Taikoo Li Rongcheng. The remaining 30 are anchor stores, that is, stores that are one level lower than the flagship store.

For these 8 flagship stores alone, the decoration budget for each store is 100 million, and the total decoration cost is as high as 800 million!

And the 30 main stores, the decoration cost of each store is about 30 million, and the overall is nearly 1 billion!

There is no way to do this, because THE TOP SHOP stores are located in the luxury brand area, and the stores next to them are Cartier, Hermes, Chanel, Givenchy and the like.

Adjacent to these shops, and can't be suppressed by the momentum of others, then you can only spend money on decoration.

The reason why big brands open so few stores every year is actually because they really cost a lot to open a store. Big brands can't afford it.

Just like Chanel, when a flagship store is opened, not to mention anything else, the decoration cost alone will cost more than 100 million! Not to mention Hermes and LV, it is not uncommon for a store to invest hundreds of millions in the early stage.

Therefore, big brands also have to be cautious about opening stores.

The 38 stores in the mainland of THE TOP SHOP spent almost 2 billion yuan on decoration alone, not counting the distribution costs and labor costs, as well as the rent or something.

If it weren't for Huashang International's acquisition of THE TOP SHOP, then Wang Ye would have to invest money in THE TOP SHOP OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET, OTHERWISE THESE STORES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN AT ALL.

TO A LARGE EXTENT, IT IS ALSO BECAUSE OF THIS FACTOR THAT WANG YE CHOSE HUASHANG INTERNATIONAL TO ACQUIRE THE TOP SHOP BY WAY OF SHARE EXPANSION, INSTEAD OF USING THE 5 BILLION FINANCING.

Because of this money, I have to keep it for THE TOP SHOP TO PAY FOR THE RENOVATION AND OPENING.

When Wang Jingcong saw the summary table of the renovation cost of THE TOP SHOP and received the payment application submitted by Li Qinghuan, he was dumbfounded......

In the end, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, everything was calculated, no wonder Wang Ye made such a big concession when he acquired THE TOP SHOP, IT TURNED OUT THAT HE WAS WAITING HERE.

However, it cannot be said that Huashang International suffers a loss, because after the decoration of these stores, all of them can be counted as assets of Huashang International. The profits generated by these stores also belong to Huashang International.

Since the brand has been acquired, it is not only necessary to enjoy the profits created by the brand, but also to bear the corresponding costs, which everyone understands.

……

Beginning on March 8, Xinkou City began to organize a large number of workers to go to the Huashang International Garment Production Base in Pengcheng.

It is estimated that it will take three days to reach all the more than 20,000 people.

Because of this incident, many staff members of the Xinkou City Government have been busy for seven or eight days. Contact buses throughout the province and contact the railway department to coordinate train tickets.

The unified action of 20,000 or 30,000 people is, of course, a big deal, and this matter has also received strong support from the relevant departments of the province, so it has been done quite smoothly.

Liu Zili was one of the first workers to set off on March 8.

Early in the morning, at six o'clock, when he was still asleep, he heard his father call him to get up.

"Wake up, it's time to get up, aren't you going to gather and set off at half past six!"

The day before yesterday, Liu Zili received a notice from the town, saying that at half past six this morning, the first batch of 150 people would gather at the gate of the town government compound and take a bus to the provincial capital to transfer to the train.

I got up in a daze, my father and mother had been up for a while, the luggage had already been packed in boxes and placed at the door, and breakfast was ready.

Washing his face and brushing his teeth, Liu Zili saw that it was not early, so he quickly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, and went out with his parents with his suitcase to the town compound.

His home is also in town, not far away, just a few minutes walk.

From a distance, I saw that there were 3 buses parked at the gate, and a large number of people gathered there, which should be the workers who recruited this time and their families.

Everyone gathered at the gate of the compound, and the voices were boiling.

"Baby, remember to call home when you get there!"

"Don't worry, your mother, I'll fight when I arrive. ”

……

This time, the town also sent a staff member to send these workers to Pengcheng all the way.

"Everyone, pay attention, get on the bus according to the number on the respective notice, don't get on the wrong bus, I'll call the name later! Okay, hurry up and get in the car, and we'll be off immediately." ”

Liu Zili was the No. 3 car, and he quickly stuffed his suitcase into the place where the luggage was placed under the bus, turned around and said goodbye to his parents before getting on the bus.

At half past six, after the roll call of the town staff, all 150 people arrived, and the bus started slowly.

Liu Zili's parents stood at the gate of the town compound and watched the bus go away.

"Hey, it's going to take a year to come back. Liu Zili's mother sighed.

"Boys, when they grow up, they naturally want to go out and break through, there will always be this day, Zili is 19 this year, and he is also an adult. Besides, won't you be back at the end of the year? Father Liu Zili said calmly.

Leaving at half past six in the morning, when he arrived at the provincial railway station, it was already half past nine in the morning, and after three hours of driving, Liu Zili was a little dizzy.

But this is the beginning, there will be a transfer to the train soon, following the team leader, Liu Zili carried his luggage through the security check and got on the train in a daze, and began to travel for more than eight hours.

By the time they arrived in Pengcheng and arrived at the dormitory of Huashang International's garment production base, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Liu Zili felt like he had come to a small city through the window of the bus.

The whole base is very large, and the spacious park road is lined with rows of workshops.

The bus drove for a few minutes before arriving at the staff living quarters, which were full of dormitory buildings with more than 20 floors.

The team leader took everyone to board the plane and check in, and it was busy again, so Liu Zili came to the assigned dormitory with his suitcase.

Standing in the staff dormitory and looking at the room, Liu Zili felt very satisfied.

Although it is also a dormitory, with four people in one room, the room is spacious enough, and there is even a private bathroom and air conditioning.

"This Huashang International is really generous, I used to work in other factories, how can I have this condition! More than a dozen people in a large room, the bathroom is a whole floor of public use, not to mention the air conditioner in the room, just a broken electric fan!"

A worker next to him said with a sigh that he worked in Pengcheng last year, and he had planned to return to the original factory this year. After hearing the recruitment information in the town, I decisively signed up, and I didn't even want half a month's salary in the original factory!

I have to say that his choice is correct, just looking at the conditions of this dormitory building, you know that this is the right place.

After getting to know the other three people in the dormitory, everyone put down their luggage and went downstairs together to have dinner in the cafeteria.

When I checked in just now, each person was given a card, and with this card, you can use the card to eat.

Liu Zili still remembers that it was written on the offer letter that the company subsidizes 600 yuan per month for food, and no refund is made up for more. In other words, if you have more than 600 yuan a month, then you can recharge it yourself.

If the 600 yuan is not used up, it will be cleared next month.

Liu Zili felt a pity before he came, eating in the cafeteria, where can he use up 600 yuan a month, when he was in high school, his monthly living expenses were only 300.

When he entered the staff canteen, Liu Zili realized that he had made a mistake.

The cafeteria here is obviously completely different from my high school cafeteria.

In the huge staff canteen, there is a large row of windows, and there are many different flavors. What "Cantonese cuisine", "Sichuan cuisine", "Hunan cuisine". Of course, "Central Plains cuisine" is indispensable.

Looking at those dazzling dishes, Liu Zili's saliva was about to flow. After comparing for a long time, I asked for two bowls of porridge, plus a fried chicken thigh, and a braised pork.

When swiping the card, the amount is 18 yuan.

For this amount, Liu Zili is quite acceptable, after all, all he orders are meat dishes. When I was in high school, although the food was cheap, what kind of dishes were they, they were cabbage, potatoes, winter melons and the like, could they be compared to this braised pork and chicken thighs.

In this way, 600 yuan a month is really not enough, it seems that you have to control your meals in the future, and you can't be so extravagant.

……

19-year-old Liu Zili, from this day, began his new life in Huashang International Garment Production Base.

He is ignorant about the future, but he is full of hope.

The path of dropping out of school and working is his own choice, whether it is right or wrong, he can only grit his teeth and go on.
