Chapter 188: Opening Ceremony
Zhang Chu bragged about selling denim-style clothes, but he did something that was not a market behavior. He ordered the mine to purchase 100 sets of clothes as a reward for the marching workers, and distributed them directly to the workers in the mine. This is how the first orders for jeans from the quilt factory were completed, which is completely bullying people with power, and it has nothing to do with trading, which will definitely be said to be against the laws of the market if later generations of scholars see it.
However, this batch of clothes was really loved by the workers. Workers working in the mines used to be reluctant to work with clothes on. Ordinary fabrics wear out quickly on the job. The workers made up and made up to no avail. The garments were so sturdy that the tightened trouser legs and sleeves worked more neatly, and the workers finally said goodbye to the patched wide coats with large sleeves, which were first given as a reward to the advanced workers, and soon became a symbol of progress. The workers wanted to own a new piece of this "Apple" brand of clothing. At this time, the "Apple" clothing store in the mining area was opened. Specializing in selling various styles of "Apple" brand denim clothing.
The store is responsible for selling a few middle-aged women, in this almost all male miners appeared a few women, immediately attracted the attention of the miners, although the clerks are middle-aged, but only thirty years of sows and sables, miners do not buy clothes also love to go around the store, and try to clean up themselves as neatly as possible. Zhang Chu asked the clothing factory to set the price of denim clothing only slightly higher than the cost, Zhang Chu thought that if he could support the female workers of the factory without losing money, on the other hand, the consumption power of the workers is indeed too low, and it is necessary to be ruthless to buy clothes for a while. Many workers look at the prices of clothes in specialty stores, calculate the surplus of their wages, and make plans to buy them.
When the miners were hesitating, the monopoly magazine launched a promotional campaign, and in order to celebrate the birthday of Ma Ziyi, the quilt factory, it will be sold at a discount for one day two days later, and all goods will be sold at a 20% discount. The workers calculated that this would save another sum of money. At the time of the event, sales were very hot, and many sets of clothes were sold at once.
The quilt factory has made persistent efforts to open specialty stores in various mining areas, and denim clothing has become the standard work clothes for workers. Workers called the fabric of this very suitable clothing to be worn in labor "labor cloth", and these clothes were also uniformly called "labor clothes", and there were many laborers in China without denim, and labor clothes became popular. Labor clothes have been welcomed by young people in society as they have walked out of the mining area with the workers. Different shapes from the past, low prices, buy a can be worn for a long time, these advantages make labor clothes deeply loved by everyone, although in this old pedant denounced such clothes as nondescript, immoral, but the super stubborn forces can never resist the fashion trend.
The popularity of labor clothes has led to more and more orders from quilt factories, female workers have jobs again, more women have entered the factory from the family, and people's concept of women's work has begun to change.
Zhang Chu saw the success of the first battle, and divided a part of the people to try to produce some daily clothing, not to ask how many sales, only to change people's habits of buying clothing, Zhang Chu believes that once people's living standards improve, buying ready-made clothes will become fashionable.
Zhang Chu has a sense of accomplishment and is happier than a big victory, which is a real change to the whole society, and the economic status of people in the society is the fundamental thing that determines whether they are respected or not.
Zhang Chu left Yanchang satisfied, and hurried to Fugu again, and asked him to attend the opening ceremony of the Security University in Fugu.
After a few days of marching, Zhang Chu and the others were covered with dust, but Zhang Chu became more and more energetic, because in Fugu, Li Mei and Yue Yue were there and there was no door for him. In the blink of an eye, the three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. And this time the security university is the result of the joint operation of the two.
Zhang Chu wanted to have a good reunion with Li Mei and Yue Yue when he arrived in Fugu, but he didn't expect that the two were busy with the opening ceremony the next day, and they couldn't finish their work until late, so Zhang Chu had to take a shower and change clothes in frustration, and decided to give everyone a glorious image tomorrow.
At the beginning of the campus design, Zhang Chu repeatedly emphasized that it should be large enough to reserve sufficient land for the construction behind, and now the school has only built a few rows of houses, but has left a large area of vacant land around it, and Zhang Chu is determined to build a modern university here.
When Zhang Chu arrived at the school, the staff and students in the school were already waiting on the school's playground to line up and have no door for his arrival.
Seeing Zhang Chu's arrival, Yang Pengfei, the principal who presided over the opening ceremony, led everyone to applaud and welcome.
Yang Pengfei is now in his forties, a native of Zhongyang County, Shanxi, and he was also promoted in the imperial examination in his early years, which is definitely a high-level intellectual in the territory of the security army. But he was lively and refused to die, so he couldn't go any further, after the security army occupied Zhongyang, he was in a wait-and-see state, and then saw everything the security army did, his heart was touched, and Zhang Chu asked to come out to work for the security army. This time the security university opened, Zhang Chu appointed him as the first president, and this school also has an honorary president, that is, Li Mei.
At this time, Li Mei and Yue Yue followed Zhang Chu to the rostrum. Now the security army is accustomed to this standard configuration, the marshal Zhang Chu is the absolute supreme leader of the security army, and Li Mei is the future master mother, Yue Yue, as Zhang Chu's woman, also holds the financial power of the security army. Li Mei and Yue Yue enjoyed the same high prestige in the security army.
When the students and teachers saw their esteemed Zhang Chu, the applause lasted for a long time, and Zhang Chu walked to the front of the stage and waved to everyone, and the applause stopped. President Yang Pengfei loudly announced that the opening ceremony of Baoan University had begun. Zhang Chu gave a brief speech, thanking the builders and teachers of the school for their hard work in preparing for the school, and encouraged all students to study hard and become the pillars of the country in the future.
After a set of procedures, the security university is officially opened. The students happily returned to their classrooms, and the teachers dispersed to take care of the students, leaving only Yang Pengfei and other school administrators to take Zhang Chu to visit the school. Zhang Chu knew that the ceremony, although simple, was an important historical moment, marking the birth of a new school that was completely different from the past, and that the young people here would embark on a completely different learning path.
