Chapter 283: Pie in the Sky
Gu Xinran started a busy life for two weeks, and the limited edition fabrics naturally had to be selected by Fang Yiyuan himself, and Gu Xinran followed in order to learn more about clothing. Choosing clothes and accessories, Fang Yiyuan can be said to be an expert.
In order to highlight the hint of "Luna", the buttons on the clothes were specially purchased in the style of cat's eyes. Paris, France, Milan, Italy, have some of the best fashion sensitivities in the world, and many big brands come from these two places, so it's not hard to find the right fabrics and decorations.
It only took one morning to get everything to buy, and Zoe's company sent a car to deliver the selected materials directly to the factory, where the tailors waiting there were already impatient.
Fang Yiyuan's movements were very fast, and he could already see the appearance of his clothes after a while. The afternoon passed quickly, and the two of them finished their meal and returned home late.
After a busy day, especially Fang Yiyuan, who was running around to choose materials and make clothes in person, he felt bad when he got home.
Gu Xinran was also a little tired, she didn't delay taking a shower and going to bed early, tomorrow Fang Yiyuan will still go to the factory to continue production, Gu Xinran will go to the company and hold a meeting for all the senior executives.
I haven't been in Paris for such a long time, and naturally there are a lot of things to supervise. Gu Xinran came to the company early the next morning, and the manager personally received her, accompanied her to inspect the company first, and then came to the conference room to prepare for the meeting.
The scale of Zoe clothing is small, but it can't be compared with a company that has been established for decades or even a hundred years. It's a trend to expand your company at the height of your momentum, but it's easier said than done, and the best way to do this is to find a partner when you don't have enough money to open a branch.
Whether it is the creation of the brand, or the operation after the establishment. All sources of funding rely on Fang Yiyuan. Otherwise, it is impossible for a company to succeed so quickly to this point, so that almost all the money earned in the past three years has been used to return to Fang Yiyuan.
"Ms. JOY, there were some companies that wanted to cooperate with us before, but they just wanted to take advantage of the reputation of Zoe Clothing, I mean to take advantage of the anniversary event to attract investment, or open branches in other regions and create a brand, so that we can have long-term benefits for Zoe Clothing." A Frenchman with a big nose put forward his own opinions, which were similar to Gu Xinran's thoughts, both of which wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand business.
"I'm still worried about the financial aspect, so let's make the budget for opening a branch in the past few days, and the investment promotion department and the planning department have also formulated a series of plans. I'll probably be in Paris for two weeks, and if anyone wants to work with us, it's best. ”
"Before you came to the company, Ms. JOY, someone once received a call for cooperation, and I haven't had time to see the details of cooperation. When I read it and think it's okay, I'll give it to you to take a look at again. ”
Gu Xinran nodded, before coming, she still had an idea that she needed to discuss with the company.
After all, her business acumen has only been put into practice in the past two years, and many people in the company are veteran drivers who have worked hard in shopping malls for many years.
"After observation, the fashion trends in Asia and Europe are very different, and my idea is whether we can produce some versions that meet the aesthetics of Asians when we release new products in the future. Japan and South Korea have a certain style of fashion in Asia, can we move closer to them? I mean, when you open a counter in another country, you can design clothes that they like according to the fashion trends in your country. ”
This is a constructive question, and several shareholders also agree. Although it will be a bit cumbersome to make different styles of clothes in terms of factory and fabric selection, the cost may increase by 10%, but the benefits may be much more.
You can try it for a while, and if the sales have not changed from before, it is not difficult to unify the style.
"The foundry issue I raised with Ms. JOY last time ......"
Gu Xinran shook his head resolutely, only greedy to reduce costs and there is fraud of customers, this method is better not to try: "Don't think about the foundry, many customers are very disgusted." I think I can consider producing some luggage accessories, especially leather bags, which are mainly used by international first-line brands. ”
Everyone nodded, after all, bags and lipstick are a temptation for a woman to hit the soul.
"That's it for now." Gu Xinran closed the information on the table and stood up: "I will be in the factory in the afternoon, call me if there is anything, or go to the factory to find me." ”
Gu Xinran first read some documents in his office, and when he was eating in the staff dormitory at noon, he called Fang Yiyuan and asked him not to forget to eat. This lazy patient with advanced cancer really didn't even bother to eat, and he didn't want to eat the staff meal, so in desperation, Gu happily ordered a takeout for him to be sent to him.
After taking a break, she was about to go to the factory to see the situation, but the assistant came in and stopped her, saying that there were conditions offered by the partner that had reached unprecedented satisfaction for Zoe Clothing.
"The plan has not yet been delivered, and the other party said that they are ordering people to make specific plans, and they intend to cooperate with Zoe Clothing to create a new brand and open a branch for Zoe in their country."
Pie in the sky?
Gu Xinran felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that all the money for opening a branch office was paid by the other party.
Just borrowing the fame of Zoe clothing, if the other party can't make the new brand into the world's first-tier and second-tier, just a small company with a little-known name, then such cooperation is meaningless.
It mainly depends on the financial resources and origins of the other company.
"What company?"
"It seems to be the Koch Group."
Koch Group ...... Hundred Flowers Literature
Gu Xinran was suddenly speechless, this Ke Shaochen really appeared in front of her every day. "What else did the other party say?"
"It is said that the president of the Keshi Group will personally come to the company tomorrow with the cooperation plan to discuss the cooperation."
"Got it."
originally wanted to go to the factory to check the production situation, but because of this sudden incident, she returned to her seat and called Ke Shaochen.
It seemed that she had expected her to call, as if she was holding her mobile phone and waiting to answer the phone at any time, and Ke Shaochen's voice came in an instant. "Heard?"
"I heard that, what do you want to do?"
"Now that I've heard about it, you're still asking me what I want to do?" Ke Shaochen said with a smile.
Gu Xinran pouted: "I mean, why did you think of cooperating with Zoe Clothing?" I didn't talk about it when I was in City A, but I didn't want to cooperate until I returned to Paris. ”
Ke Shaochen was sitting on the way to Ke's Paris branch, he looked at the Seine River passing by outside the car window, and laughed unhurriedly: "I only thought of it yesterday, and it was just a temporary idea." ”
"So what? What do you want to do? ”
"We'll meet tomorrow."
It's best to ask Fang Yiyuan about this matter, Ke Shaochen wants to cooperate with Zoe Clothing for such a big thing, if he hides it from Fang Yiyuan, he will definitely be unhappy.
And he couldn't have been unaware.
Thinking about how to talk to Fang Yiyuan, this delay reached more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Yiyuan called and asked her why she hadn't gone over yet, and she came back to her senses and said that she would be there soon.
Or don't tell Fang Yiyuan, and directly refuse to cooperate with Ke's, anyway, now that the scandal is spread all over the world, committing crimes against the wind, I'm afraid that this limelight will not pass.
When Gu Xinran came to the factory, Fang Yiyuan had already made the women's clothes almost done, and when he saw Gu Xinran coming, he hurriedly beckoned her to try it and see if there was anything that needed to be changed.
She waved her hand, she had something on her mind, she was too lazy to toss these, and asked Fang Yiyuan to rest for a while before doing it, anyway, his production task was only two sets of clothes for men and women, and he was not in a hurry to make them so early. "You're familiar with my size, you don't have to try it to know the fit."
Fang Yiyuan had already stopped what he was doing, but when he heard her say this, he lowered his head and finished the finishing work. "Something?"
"It doesn't count......" Gu Xinran was still thinking about whether to talk to Fang Yiyuan about it.
"For the sake of Ko's cooperation with Zoe Clothing?"
Gu Xinran was shocked, his news was very well-informed. It has only been two hours since she knew it, and Fang Yiyuan has been staying in the factory to make clothes, when did he know.
Seeing that Gu Xinran didn't speak, he snorted, as if he understood her thoughts, and said to her while making clothes: "Ke's Group is coming to cooperate with such a big happy event, how could I not have heard of it." A big chaebol is rushing to cooperate with a small brand company like Zoe, and in the eyes of others, I am afraid that a big pie will fall from the sky. ”
Now that Fang Yiyuan knew, Gu Xinran didn't have to hide it. Just asked him what he meant, whether he cooperated or refused, Gu Xinran listened to him.
Originally, Gu Xinran was a nominal founder, Zoe Clothing was able to have today's achievements, Fang Yiyuan's credit was almost more than 90%, and the rest was the concerted efforts of the employees.
"What do you think? Do you want me to refuse? ”
Fang Yiyuan stopped and looked at Gu Xinran, in fact, he also wanted to see Gu Xinran's reaction. Such a big piece of fat was brought to her mouth, and if she didn't eat it, she twisted her head to the side, which showed that she was still concerned about his feelings: "Go and see it tomorrow, Ke Shaochen came to Paris all the way, if you don't even meet him and reject him directly, maybe you will come up with some way to rely on you." ”
Gu Xinran nodded, unable to refute.
"I'll go with you tomorrow, I want to see what Ke Shaochen can do to convince me."
"If he had great skills, would you agree to work with Ko's and Zoe?" thought that he would strongly refuse, but now this ambiguous attitude made Gu Xinran very puzzled.
"Why not! But let's see how capable he is. ”
