On the first Saturday after Chu Hong left, Gu Yuan came to the Bauhinia Mansion early in the morning.

At this time, the Bauhinia Building no longer had any employees of Far Eastern Express, and the company's name was changed to Far Eastern Group.

Not long after Gu Yuan arrived at the company, he received a call from Zheng Xiuyan.

Gu Yuan immediately greeted him from the office, because it was Saturday, and no one in the company went to work. After Gu Yuan entered the company, he casually locked the door.

When Zheng Xiuyan followed Gu Yuan into the company, she couldn't help but look around at everything in front of her.

The overall decoration of the company is simple, so people can guess at first sight that this is a very efficient place.

In the future, it will serve as the headquarters of fashion design. ”

Zheng Xiuyan, "The space is a little not spacious enough. ”

Gu Yuan glanced at the company, which covered an area of nearly five hundred square meters, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm not kidding, fashion design isn't just about sketching on paper, it's about fabrics, it's about models, stencils, and so on, and if it's all about a design studio, that's definitely enough, but you obviously need other departments here. So I'm not kidding when I say there isn't enough space. ”

Zheng Xiuyan at work is very serious.

Gu Yuan thought for a while and said, "In this case, it's better to rent another office building." ”

"Can people be willing?" This time it was Zheng Xiuyan's turn to be speechless.

"If there is anything you don't want to do, as long as the price is right, there is no deal that cannot be done. Gu Yuan said immediately.

"Let's take a look at my latest work first. ”

Saying that, Zheng Xiuyan handed him a picture album, and after Gu Yuan took it, he immediately found a place to sit down and began to study it seriously.

Zheng Xiuyan's design album for Gu Yuan has about a dozen clothes, including shirts and suits.

The overall design style tends to be simple, but the version is very good, and what satisfies Gu Yuan the most is the design effect of the shirt.

Although it doesn't mean much to just look at the pictures, in general, the design style of the clothing can still be seen.

And Zheng Xiuyan's design is undoubtedly very suitable for Gu Yuan's positioning.

"Very good, close to what I expected. After looking through the portfolio as a whole, Gu Yuan immediately said.

Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but smile reservedly when she heard this.

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to her and said, "You are welcome to join me Far East Group." ”

Zheng Xiuyan glanced at his hand and finally shook it with him, but the disgust on her face was undisguised.

In this regard, Gu Yuan could only twitch the corners of his mouth.

"So now we can talk about your requirements for the position. After confirming the cooperative relationship, Gu Yuan immediately began to talk about more specific things.

"Until then, I think we should decide on the name of the brand. Zheng Xiuyan skipped the topic and said.

"What advice do you have?" Gu Yuan was not annoyed, and asked calmly.

"I think using an English language would be a bit more uplifting. Zheng Xiuyan was clearly considerate.

"Specifically, if you have any ideas, you can just say it. Gu Yuan glanced at her and encouraged her to continue.

"I came up with a brand called Blanc &Eclare, what do you think?" Zheng Xiuyan immediately said the name of the brand that came to mind.

"What does it mean?" asked Gu Yuan.

"It doesn't mean anything special, it's just that the letter combination is very beautiful and easy to read. Zheng Xiuyan returned.

Gu Yuan thought for a while and said, "This word is still a bit complicated, and it is not suitable for circulation in China. ”

Zheng Xiuyan nodded, "You can streamline it, turn it into B&E, and then use a small division as the logo." ”

Gu Yuan thought about it, but still couldn't imagine what it would look like, "You can make a sample for me when you go back to this." ”

Zheng Xiuyan nodded in agreement.

"Moving on to your position, I have two ideas right now, one of which is naturally to make you the design director and be in charge of all the costume design. Another idea is to have a creative director of clothing, responsible for not only the specific design, but also the definition of the brand image, the direction of promotion, and so on. ”

"In other words, one, you're only responsible for the design, and two, you're in charge of the whole brand, and you can make a choice. ”

Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this, and after pondering for a while, she asked, "If I am the creative director, then what is your function?"

"My role? I'm mainly responsible for capacity allocation, inventory scheduling and other specific production and operation matters, while you are fully responsible for brand building. Gu Yuan explained.

"Why do you have this thought, I mean, are you thinking too highly of me like this?" Zheng Xiuyan tried it for the first time after all, and she was a little unsure in her heart.

"Actually, it's very simple, you're definitely more professional than me, and by arranging it this way, I can avoid the layman directing the insider. ”

Zheng Xiuyan thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then I am willing to be the creative director." ”

"In that case, I hope that you will adjust your focus to the whole brand in the future. Then there's team building, and I'm giving you the most authority in that regard. You can assemble it according to your ideas. ”

Zheng Xiuyan nodded again, and in just a few contacts, she had already discovered an extremely obvious characteristic of Gu Yuan.

Dare to delegate power, be decisive and resolute, and be good at employing people.

"Okay, I'll do the team structure and give you the job post. ”

"Yes, in addition, I will make an appointment with the owner of the upstairs, and after renting the upstairs, you can arrange the decoration yourself. ”

"Do you usually manage the company like this?" Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Do you think I lack control over the company like this?" Gu Yuan naturally understood what she meant.

"Wouldn't it?" asked Zheng Xiuyan rhetorically.

"What do you think is the most important thing for a company to retain a person?" Gu Yuan asked rhetorically.

"A sense of corporate identity and development prospects. Zheng Xiuyan thought for a while and said.

"Then do you think you will have a sense of identity if I completely decentralize power like this?" Gu Yuan asked again.

"Such a high level of autonomy is of course very recognizable, but it can also breed ambition. Zheng Xiuyan said.

"Do you think it's possible to completely copy another brand in the apparel space?"

"This ·····" Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but be speechless.

Indeed, it is almost impossible to replicate a brand in the field of clothing.

Because the meaning of clothing has long gone beyond its own practical meaning. Its value is more of an aesthetic one.

And the completely subjective concept of aesthetics is difficult to replicate.

"If we can't replicate it, then what should I worry about? In fact, we only need to take the core things into our own hands, and let others do the rest. ”

In fact, Gu Yuan did exactly that.

Whether it is Far East Feed or Far East Express, Gu Yuan has always mastered the core key.

Far East Feed, he firmly grasped the feed formula in his hands. And Far Eastern Express, he controls the only transport plane in China.

With such a core competitiveness in hand, he is not afraid of his subordinates setting up another door.

What's more, he also firmly holds the financial power in his hands, so that it is even more foolproof.

After talking about business, Gu Yuan suddenly said to Zheng Xiuyan: "Your sister is downstairs, do you want to go and see her." ”

"Xiujing is downstairs?" Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"That's right. ”

Zheng Xiuyan didn't say a word immediately, and got up and walked downstairs directly.

Gu Yuan didn't explain, he followed behind and helped her guide her in a timely manner.

Soon, they came to the Poetry Restaurant.

Far away, Zheng Xiuyan saw Zheng Xiujing sitting behind a long table talking and laughing.
