David also persuaded him, "Madam, you can take your design to the international stage, or you can join our company, our company welcomes talented ladies like you to join." ”

Mike continued, "Soon, there will be a big international fashion design competition, and David and I are here to find inspiration.

Design clothes that make you more satisfied, ma'am, with your talent, you can participate in this contest, and I am sure that you will win. ”

Xia Zhi thought about it and said to the two of them with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, I still need to think about this matter." ”

David and Mike nodded in understanding, and then the three of them chatted for a long time.

Xia Zhi's advanced gaze and rich knowledge storage surprised the two of them, and at the same time they admired it a little more in their hearts.

The three of them chatted happily, and at noon Xia Zhi invited David and Mike to have a Chinese meal, and then went back to the clothing store alone.

As soon as Xia Zhi returned to the Yiren clothing store, the waiter excitedly surrounded Xia Zhi and asked, "Boss, are those two foreigners your friends?" ”

"Yes, boss, what are those two foreigners doing?"

"They had been wandering around our store for a long time, and they seemed to have been discussing our clothes for a long time."

Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Those two foreigners are called Mike and David, they are both from the United States, and they are designers of a large clothing company. ”

The clerk was surprised, "Costume designer? ”

"Boss, what are those two designers doing in our store?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the clothes in our store." ”

"The boss is really good, he can talk to two foreigners in English."

"Yes, boss, the clothes in our stores are all designed by you, do those two foreigners particularly like the clothes you designed?"

Xia Zhi shook his head and said with a smile, "Our Huaguo has just been reformed and opened up, and our clothing is still a little conservative for them." ”

The waiter was disappointed and said, "Boss, don't those two foreigners like the clothes in our store?" ”

Xia Zhi thought for a while and said, "The clothes they like tend to be a little exposed for us now, so they don't fit their taste, but they invited me to participate in an international designer competition." ”

Several waiters listened and looked at the summer solstice with adoration.

"Being invited by two foreigners to participate in the competition, boss, you are so amazing!"

"yes, boss, when are you going?"

"Boss, you must win! Fight for our countrymen. ”

Listening to the words of these waiters, Xia Zhi smiled and said, "I don't have time to participate in any international costume competitions. ”

Several waiters looked disappointed.

"However," Xia Zhi's voice changed, "it would be a pity if I missed this opportunity, so I plan to send someone to participate for me." ”

When several waiters heard this, their eyes immediately turned overjoyed.

Xia Zhi stayed in the Yiren clothing store for a while, and then rode his bicycle to the factory.

Xia Zhi took a turn in the factory, with Meng Liang and Yan Qingyi staring at the factory, there was nothing to do, Xia Zhi drew a few design drafts in his office, since he planned to participate in the international clothing competition, then Xia Zhi would go all out.

On the third day, Xia Zhi told the two that she was willing to participate in the competition, but she didn't have time to go herself, so she would send someone to go for her.

David and Mike, though a little disappointed, were understanding.

As for the candidates?

Xia Zhi chose Meng Liang, and then planned to recruit two people who knew English to be Meng Liang's assistant.

Xia Zhi said that he would do it, and spent a high price to recruit two graduates who were about to graduate from foreign languages, and then asked them to follow Meng Liang to the United States with David and Mike, and also brought the design draft of Xia Zhi.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the two newly built workshops and two dormitories in the summer solstice factory were also built.

Xia Zhi bought more than 100 sewing machines, recruited more than 100 workers, and began to expand production, while Xia Zhi began to recruit sales staff again, intending to sell her clothes all over the country.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and there is good news from your country, the clothes designed by the summer solstice have been selected.

Several judges like the clothes designed by the summer solstice, and the design competition at this time is relatively middle-range, unlike the later generations who have played a lot of tricks.

Summer Solstice designed clothes, Meng Liang was responsible for making the clothes, and finally Xia Solstice won the first prize, this award is a relatively important award in the United States clothing circle, everyone didn't expect to get the award, the first place turned out to be a Chinese.

After the news was transmitted back to China, Xia Zhi had the news posted in the newspaper and advertised on TV.

In this era, there are very few people who advertise on TV, and it doesn't cost much, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Not to mention, the two clothing stores in the summer solstice capital have been full of customers every day recently, and even many department stores from other places have called, hoping to buy goods from the clothing stores in the summer solstice.

The market opened up all of a sudden, and the clothes in the clothing store were in short supply, but in terms of the quality of clothes, the summer solstice was still strictly controlled, and there was no slackness.

Summer has finally arrived, and more and more people wearing short sleeves can be seen everywhere on the street, Xu Aihong and Zhao Daguang have been busy for more than a month.

For more than a month, they asked workers to work overtime to make clothes in a different style according to those drawings, and the warehouse was full of goods, and Zhao Daguang and Xu Aihong discussed how to sell the clothes.

Xu Aihong said, "Let's open a clothing store too!" ”

Zhao Daguang frowned and said, "Daughter-in-law, we don't have much money in our hands!" ”

In the past month or so, all the little money they used to earn has been used to buy raw materials and workers' wages, all of which cost money.

Xu Aihong said, "Why don't you take your clothes and go to the department store to ask those managers?" Do they want to buy clothes from our house? ”

Zhao Daguang thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take my clothes tomorrow and go to the department store to ask." ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Daguang got up, took a few clothes, put them in a cloth bag, and went to a department store.
