Chapter 172 - Means of Cultivating Talents
One night in mid-January, Li Hualong spent the night with Chen Sisi.
When the clouds and rain stopped, Li Hualong and Chen Sisi chatted about the love between husband and wife.
After chatting for a few words, Chen Sisi brought up the old matter again, and talked to Li Hualong about the creation of a clothing company.
Li Hualong was puzzled: "Shanshan hasn't been weaned yet, so you're in such a hurry to go out to work?" ”
Chen Sisi smiled: "Nowadays, many working women have to go to work soon after giving birth. ”
Li Hualong smiled bitterly: "Those people have no way to make money to support their families." ”
Chen Sisi said angrily: "My milk + water is not very sufficient, I want to invite a wet nurse, so I will stop + milk early." ”
"Then please have a milk + mother!" Li Hualong grabbed a pair of plump and plump*, kneaded them a few times, and said with a smile, "I don't want to see them dry up." Since you decided to go out to work early, I support you. In a few days, let's register a company. ”
"You come up with a good name for this company." Chen Sisi smiled.
There are many well-known light fashion brands in the memory of Li Hualong in later generations, and now Li Hualong thought about it carefully and thought of a good name: "JeansWest, a combination of two lists, Jeans and West, the Chinese name is Jeanswest." ”
"What three words?"
"Truth, goodness, and beauty are true, and the maintenance of the dimension is the great responsibility of the people of Si."
"Jeanswest, Jeanswest, both of these names are nice and I like them. Then our company will use this name. Chen Sisi smiled.
"It's your company." Li Hualong smiled.
"Mine is not yours, besides, without your financial support, I would not be able to open a garment factory."
"In fact, it doesn't take much money to invest in creating a clothing company."
"No matter how much money you spend, you have to invest in me." Chen Sisi said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll invest." Li Hualong smiled evilly and stroked Chen Sisi's beautiful legs.
"You invest. I manage, we are one and half shares, and that's it. Don't talk about it, sleep, I'm sleeping. ”
"Then I'll turn off the lights." After Li Hualong turned off the lights, he hugged Chen Sisi's naked body in his arms again, and said happily, "Sleeping with your delicate body in your arms is a beautiful thing!" ”
"I'm almost an old woman, and I'm still delicate. Do you still like me? ”
"Was my watch very bad just now?" Li Hualong asked with a wicked smile.
"Satisfied!" Chen Sisi smiled sweetly and kissed Li Hualong on the lips, "Husband, good night, don't say it." ”
"Good!" Li Hualong answered, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
More than a month later, on February 25, 1970, Jeanswest Garment Co., Ltd. was incorporated in Hong Kong. Both the registered capital and the paid-in capital are HK$1 million, and Li Hualong and Chen Sisi each hold 50% of the shares.
Before Jeanswest was incorporated, Li Hualong had found a good factory and shop for the company, and he recruited a few skilled workers from Playboy Clothing Company. And recruited some designers and sewing workers.
At the beginning of its establishment, Jeanswest produced clothing designed by Chen Sisi, and at the same time began to renovate the store, and at the same time began to let the company's clothing designers design clothing. The adopted design will also begin to be made.
One evening in mid-March, Li Hualong had just gotten out of the car when he returned home from work. Chen Sisi's car drove into the courtyard.
Li Hualong waited for Chen Sisi at the door for a while, and when he saw Chen Sisi getting out of the car, he said with a smile: "Sisi, it's time to get off work!" ”
"It's time to get off work!" Chen Sisi smiled and walked up to Li Hualong, "Today is a little busy, but it's very fulfilling." ”
Li Hualong opened his arms, hugged Chen Sisi's waist, and smiled: "I didn't go out to work, and when I stayed at home with me, I felt very empty?" ”
"Nope." Chen Sisi said angrily, "People can't always feel full, and when there is no sense of fulfillment, it may not necessarily be empty." ”
"Kind of makes sense." Li Hualong smiled, let go of the hug, and took Chen Sisi's hand, "Let's go, let's enter the house." ”
"Okay!" Chen Sisi smiled.
"Busy these days, right?" Li Hualong asked.
"Not very busy." Chen Sisi replied, "Tomorrow, I won't go out to work, I will stay at home with my children." ”
"Okay!" Li Hualong glanced at Chen Sisi with a smile, "You can also draw clothing design drawings at home." ”
"I worked with the company's fashion designer to draw a few designs, I think it's pretty good, and later, you can take a look and give some advice."
"Okay, we'll see after dinner."
Li Hualong came to the living room and met his parents and several children.
"Abba, Mama." Li Hualong greeted with a smile.
"Daddy, hug!" Li Linwen, who was sitting on the carpet mountain and playing, stood up, she was Xi Chongyi's daughter born to Li Hualong.
"Wenwen, are you good?" Li Hualong squatted down and hugged Li Linwen in his arms with a smile.
Li Linwen grinned and did not answer Li Hualong's words.
"Wenwen is very well-behaved, doesn't cry or make trouble, and is very obedient." Li Yisong smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you will say that I am biased, I like Wenwen the most." ”
"Wenwen, have you heard, grandpa likes you the most, and when you grow up, you must also honor grandpa."
"Wenwen likes grandpa too!" Li Linwen said with a smile.
"You know how to make a fool of yourself at such a young age!" Li Hualong said happily.
"Don't talk about kids." Li Song glared at Li Hualong, she didn't like Li Linwen's granddaughter the most, but Li Linwen liked her very much.
On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the first Jeanswest boutique opened in Central.
In order to make Jeanswest clothing famous, Chen Sisi specially invited a number of big-name stars under Huayi Brothers Artist Agency to participate in the ribbon cutting, and sent some Jeanswest costumes to these stars in advance.
Outsiders may think that Li Hualong has married multiple wives and concubines, and the status of wives and concubines will be different, but the artists under Huayi Brothers know that Li Hualong, the boss, loves every wife and concubine very much, and will not favor one over the other, even if Liu Minchen comes forward to invite, no star will refuse.
Chen Sisi has made many movies for Huayi Brothers before, and participated in the management of the company, she has accumulated a good relationship with the big-name stars of Huayi Brothers. Not only did he take time to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but he also made a cameo appearance as a salesperson to sell Jeanswest clothing to customers.
Many customers bought more Jeanswest costumes because of the promotion of these celebrities.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Li Hualong, accompanied by bodyguards, came to the Jeanswest store.
saw the two female stars standing at the door, and chatted with them with a smile.
"I've booked a private room at the Mandarin Oriental tonight, and you'll go to dinner later." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Thank you boss!" The two female stars said in unison.
Chen Sisi, who was at the cashier just now, saw Li Hualong come to the store and hurriedly walked out. walked to Li Hualong's side and smiled happily: "Ah Long, you're here!" ”
"Here, I've worked hard for you today."
"I'm not hard, these big stars are harder than me, they help sell clothes." Chen Sisi smiled, "Guess how much is open today!" ”
"Ten thousand, right?" Li Hualong smiled.
"It's more than 20,000." Chen Sisi said with a smile.
In Hong Kong at this time, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars was a huge amount of money, and jeans produced by Jeanswest were generally sold for 9.9 Hong Kong dollars. The most expensive coat costs only HK$49.
"It was beyond my expectations." Li Hualong smiled, glanced at the clothing store, and said, "It feels good to be here." There is a desire to shop. ”
"Many customers have said that in addition to praising the beautiful decoration of this store, they also praise the clothes of Jeanswest."
"What a boast." Li Hualong smiled.
"Nice design and comfortable to wear. The quality is good, the price is affordable, and many customers say they will be repeat customers. Some also said that they would recommend their friends to buy clothes here. ”
Chen Sisi pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "I think Jeanswest can also learn to playboy, establish a membership system, and issue membership cards to regular customers. ”
"There is no rush to issue membership cards to customers, there are two ground floor shops in Tsim Sha Tsui whose leases are about to expire, and if you want to open a branch there, then I will not renew the lease with the tenant."
"The company is next to each other?"
"Next to each other, you can get through, and the total area of these two shops is one hundred and fifty square meters."
"So big?" Chen Sisi smiled, "Wouldn't it be too wasteful to rent such a big shop?" ”
"It won't be wasted, when I get home, I'll talk to you about the benefits of opening a big store." Li Hualong said with a smile, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's not early, you can go to dinner......
After dinner at the hotel, Li Hualong and Chen Sisi took a car home.
"In the store, you said that there are advantages to opening a big store, so tell me about the benefits." Chen Sisi said.
"Brand image is important." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Don't you think that Jeanswest's specialty store is located in the best store in the area, and it is a big store, with a novel design and a favorable price, don't you think this will increase the attractiveness of Jeanswest to customers?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Sisi nodded thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Although Jeanswest's clothing is not a luxury product, in many aspects, you need to learn from the companies that produce luxury goods. ”
"Step by step, when there are enough Zhenweiss stores, we can invite international celebrities to endorse in the future."
"When did you say you would open a branch overseas?"
"When we open more than 10 stores in Hong Kong, we will consider opening branches overseas."
"If you strongly support the development of Jeanswest, within half a year, Jeanswest can open more than a dozen stores in Hong Kong."
"You can't become fat by eating in one bite. When it comes to opening a store, you have to take your time, it's too hasty, and you may have to consider closing the store because the business is so bad that you open the store. Also, if you go overseas to open a specialty store, you don't have to invest yourself, you can learn from Playboy and transfer the exclusive sales rights of each country. ”
"Aaron, you have to give more advice to the development of Jeanswest in the future, this company is the company we created together."
"Huh!" Li Hualong smiled, reached out to hold Chen Sisi's hand, and gently kneaded it a few times, "Sisi, don't worry, I will find a way to make Jeanswest a world-famous clothing company." ”
"Don't move your hands and feet." Chen Sisi said angrily, patted the back of Li Hualong's hand, looked at Li Hualong twice, and said with a smile, "Playboy has grown and grown, and it all relies on the back to make suggestions." ”
"Don't say that, don't bury the contribution of the management of Playboy Apparel to the development of the company. In the first few years, I made some contributions to the development of Playboy, but in recent years, I have paid little attention to the operation of Playboy. ”
Chen Sisi asked curiously: "You don't know the sales and profits of this company every month?" ”
"I really don't know the monthly performance. However, I look at the company's quarterly performance statement. ”
Chen Sisi stared at Li Hualong with a smile for a moment, and then asked, "Have you arranged your own manpower at Playboy?" ”
"There was an arrangement. Now the financial manager of Playboy is one of my people, his father used to work under my Abba, and later, the family came to Hong Kong with my father, at that time, this person had just graduated from junior high school, and he studied in Hong Kong for three years, and I sponsored him to study at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. After graduating from university, he worked for Hualong Real Estate Company for a few years, and after that, I transferred him to work at Playboy Clothing Company. ”
Chen Sisi smiled and said, "You trust him very much, right?" ”
"He is very serious and responsible, and he deserves my trust!"
"Apart from this person, have you ever sponsored anyone else to study?"
"I've funded a lot."
"After graduating, these people all work for you?"
"No, but most people are working for me." Li Hualong smiled.
"Why don't you work for you?"
"There are people who can't work for me in a profession, such as doctors."
"yes, you didn't invest in running a hospital."
"In the future, I will definitely invest in the creation of a high-end private hospital in Hong Kong, so that it will be more convenient for our family to be hospitalized."
"It's not good to say anything, say that you are hospitalized, you are not too unlucky." Chen Sisi took a sip.
"Pregnant women always have to be hospitalized when they give birth, right?" Li Hualong said with a smile, "The birth of a new life, how can it be an unfortunate thing." ”
"It seems that in ancient times, a woman giving birth to a child, especially the process of giving birth, was an unfortunate thing for a man, right?" Chen Sisi asked with a smile.
Li Hualong smiled noncommittally and did not answer.
"The main purpose of sponsoring poor students to go to school is to cultivate talents, right?"
"Sort of." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Why are you interested in this?" ”
"I think it's especially meaningful for you to do this. Without your sponsorship, some young people may not be able to read more books because of their poor families...... If you do this, it is a meritorious thing. ”
"I am the reincarnation of the Buddha, and I should do more good deeds." Li Hualong joked.
"Perhaps, you were a Buddha in your last life." Chen Sisi smiled, "These things, Sister Mengmeng, Sister Chongyi, and Chenchen, do they know?" ”
"It seems that Meng Meng knows that when she first married me, I probably talked to her about sponsoring some people's education."
Chen Sisi smiled and said, "This is a good thing, you should talk to our sisters more." ”
"Makes you admire you more?"
Chen Sisi grinned and said, "It's not admiration, it's admiration." ”
Li Hualong said happily: "I am your husband, you can look up to me!" ”
Li Hualong and Chen Sithought chatted a few words, but before they could finish chatting, the driver drove them back to their homes.
Li Hualong got out of the car, walked to Chen Sisi's side, held her hand, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed with a smile: "Time flies very fast!" ”
"It's your turn to spend the night with Sister Mengmeng tonight, don't be rubbing, go and accompany her!"
"What a disappointment!" Li Hualong smiled bitterly.
"When you meet Sister Mengmeng, you will be interested." Chen Sisi quipped. (To be continued......)
