I am king in troubled times Chapter 79 The weather vane of the clothing industry
Before the official opening of the small commodity market, the merchants set off overwhelming publicity in the major newspapers, and activities such as discount promotions, on-site lucky draws, and buy three get one free were frequently reported in the newspapers.
Who is not tempted to spend less money and get the goods they want?
As a result, there was a scene of thousands of empty alleys on the opening day, and the uniform dress of Wang's liquor direct store attracted a wave of eyes and attracted the attention of a large number of well-intentioned people.
Among them, there are many like Zhang Peiyu, who asked directly, and there were also those who asked someone to inquire afterwards, and the final result all pointed to the lord's mansion, the existence that they needed to look up to.
Some production enterprises, service industries, and administrative industries can see the benefits of uniform dressing, but they are also itchy and waiting for others to take the lead.
The discussion of this matter everywhere is also becoming more and more intense, and those women who wear decent and bright uniforms to work are the objects of envy of everyone, and they can directly serve the young master's business, which is a matter of face.
Especially the clothes, which seem to be worn on the body, it is like growing on the body, it should be tight and loose, the beauty of women's posture and abundance is fully displayed, it is not fake to say that people rely on clothes, and wearing this dress has been raised to a higher level, who is not envious.
Some foreign leaders said sourly that the auspicious lord is also like an ordinary businessman, full of copper smell, doesn't he also make money through liquor.
Immediately, the man moved out of the place overnight, and his whereabouts were unknown.
"Hmph, even if he runs fast, he dares to slander our young master. ”
"That's it, don't say that our young master is not greedy for money, but if he is greedy for money, what do you know as an outsider. ”
"Clown, the year-end government work conference said that this year plans to invest 4.5 million gold coins to build auspicious, and now it has exceeded the budget by nearly one million, and by the end of the year, it is estimated that it will exceed the budget of at least two million, and the money from the sale of the house is estimated to have to be invested. ”
"The 500,000 yuan that the young master copied from Chiyan was already invested, and said that our young master was greedy for money, so it's okay not to kill him. ”
"Damn, the more I think about it, the more angry I get. ”
"But those little ladies are wearing uniform uniforms, and they are so handsome. ”
Someone made a nymphomaniac and involuntarily changed the subject.
"That's it, you said that the young master even understands women's clothes, isn't it~"
"You are not looking for a fight, and you dare to say the young master's gossip......"
This topic continues to ferment, not only does not dissipate with the passage of time, but becomes more and more mellow as the wine lasts longer.
The reporter of "Jixiang Weekly" keenly grasped the topics that everyone cared about, so he made a special issue called "On the Advent of the Uniform Era".
As soon as the newspaper was published, it was directly out of stock, and the direct result was that Wang Xuan's idle days were gone.
Cao Yanli, the person in charge of the garment factory, has been unable to live in peace these days, and in the factory, there is an endless stream of businessmen to visit, and at home, her peers seem to have a tacit understanding, no more, no less, two people every night.
This has affected her family, and even her husband is a little dissatisfied.
"It's not a way to keep this thing so expensive, it has to be solved, or you go to the young master to ask for a way, isn't the uniform from the young master?"
Her man's so-called 'asking for a way' is actually learning from experience.
There are many people who come to the garment factory to place orders with her, including individual businessmen, factory purchasers, and even government officials from various ministries. Especially in recent days, they are all rushing for 'trendy uniforms'.
But she couldn't come up with other new products for people to choose from, and that was the root of the problem.
If the young master could give some pointers, the garment factory would not be so embarrassed, but who would dare to copy the uniforms of the liquor shop?
"Besides, this is the government's factory, that is, the young master's own factory, it's not wrong for you to beg him. ”
Her husband's words touched Cao Yanli's heart, making money for the boss, and it is natural to ask for instructions and reports.
A few days later, when the government affairs court was resting, Cao Yanli came to the lord's mansion with a fruit basket, and after the guards reported, Wang Xuan met her in the study.
"Hello young master, this is the fruit of the fruit tree planted in the yard of the family, the first crop of this year, his father picked some in the morning, and sent it to the young master and young lady to taste fresh, worthless. ”
The woman was a little restrained, but she didn't leave a word to say.
"If you have a heart, say it, find me something. ”
Wang Xuan didn't know the sensational effect of the uniform, it was two points and one line these days, and the idle rumors couldn't fall into his ears, so he was also guessing the other party's intentions.
The woman rubbed her hands back and forth on her trouser legs twice, wiped the sweat from her palms, pursed her lips and said, "Didn't the young master draw some pictures of ready-to-wear last month, we made six sets according to the girls' sizes. ”
She crossed her fingers with her hands and continued, "But our factory only has the current styles of ready-to-wear, and there are no new styles they need, and we also try to make some samples, but people just can't look at it, so we have the cheekiness to ask the young master for an idea." ”
It turned out to be this, Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, this woman was the first of many factories to come to the door to ask for advice for work.
Wang Xuan secretly praised it, this is not simple, so his attitude can't help but soften.
"In this way, I will have no major events the day after tomorrow, so I will go to your factory and have a look, you will call the best tailors, and the fabrics will be prepared, and we will study them together on the spot." ”
Cao Yanli didn't expect things to go unexpectedly smoothly, so she hurriedly got up and bowed, "Young Master Xie, make sure you are ready." Then he brought the fruit basket at his feet, "These fruits are sweet, you can taste them." ”
With that, he picked up a green peach-sized fruit and handed it over, "It's all cleaned, you see." ”
Wang Xuan looked at her expectant gaze and had the heart to refuse, but he really couldn't open his mouth, so he had to take it and take a bite.
When the woman saw Wang Xuan take it, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and her white face smiled like a flower.
"Hey, it's good, it's grafted?" Wang Xuan was surprised in his heart, this fruit was sweet and delicious, not astringent at all, and it also exuded a light fragrance.
"When his father was young, he wandered around, worshiped a tourist as a teacher, and learned such a hand in three years, and there was no place for it, so he came back to become a parent, if you like, I will send some for a day. ”
Wang Xuan wrote it down, and by the way, he rejected her kindness.
If her husband really had such ability, the more than 40,000 acres of orchards on the south bank of the Yehe River would have been settled, and the Ministry of Agriculture would not have been at a loss for this.
"This craft is good, you ask your husband to go to the Ministry of Agriculture tomorrow, there is a project in the Government Council, and the skills he has learned may be useful." ”
As soon as Wang Xuan said this, Cao Yanli was overjoyed, and she hurriedly bowed and thanked her, and walked out of the lord's mansion in three steps and returned to Hedong.
On July 19, the sky was blue.
Liu Quan came to Wang Xuan's office, and it was time to go to the royal capital.
"Young master, this time I went to the royal capital, and the minister wanted to bring his old wife with him, so that she could see the outside world. ”
Liu Quan crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Yes, all the expenses will be borne by the lord's mansion, take a good walk and take a look, you have been wronged this year. ”
Wang Xuan didn't think it was a big deal, what happened to Liu Quan's generation before Wang Xuan didn't know, at least in the first ten years of auspiciousness, it was hard work, and it was normal to travel when he was old.
"Young Master Xie, in addition, the dog will also go to the royal capital for business, and I also ask the young master to approve him to go with the ministers. ”
Liu Quan's son knew that it was not too much to rely on his connections to do some business of buying and selling.
However, auspiciousness does not prohibit people from going out, so why do they have to take the envoy's ship?
"Yes, pay attention to protection on the road, Xingyao Lake has been windy recently. ”
Although Wang Xuan had doubts, he didn't care about these details, and then said: "There must be many lords to congratulate this time, and you will not be able to return until the end of August at the earliest. ”
Liu Quan responded.
"Also, try to invite the lords of each realm to come and discuss business matters, and it is best to come back with you at the end of the month. ”
There are jujubes and no jujubes to play a shot, and it is okay to have a good fate if the business fails, at least when the contradictions between the two capitals are irreconcilable, there is a buffer.
Liu Quan also responded to this matter.
In the afternoon, Wang Xuan asked the life-size models made by Furui Wood Products Factory to be delivered, a total of ten, and there were two carpenters who came with them, according to them, to modify Wang Xuan's dissatisfaction, and Wang Xuan was very satisfied with this.
On July 20, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was blue.
Wang Xuan took the design drawings and the ten models to the garment factory, a factory located in the northeast of Jianye Town, surrounded by paper mills and tanneries, arranged together for the convenience of pollution control.
After rejecting the senseless politeness, everyone came to the conference room.
"It's a design drawing I made, it's not standard, but that's what ready-to-wear looks like. ”
Wang Xuan showed his achievements, which were all professional clothes composed of tops, pants or skirts, covering manufacturing, service, administration, manual laborers, etc., basically he knew that he had painted some of them.
It's just that the painter, not to mention it, can at least see that it is the clothes worn by people, and Wang Xuan is not embarrassed about this.
"Our traditional clothes are all long shirts, but I designed short shirts composed of two pieces at the top and bottom, which is convenient for work, so it can also be called work clothes. ”
The tailors are all good hands, and they can naturally see the trick, although the drawings are really not good.
"A formal blouse consists of a front panel, a back panel, a collar, sleeves, a neckline, a cuff, a fitting pocket, a placket, and buttons, while a simple blouse can be made without a neckline, pockets, buttons, and access control. ”
Wang Xuanbi began to explain them one by one according to the drawings, and the tailors present seemed to listen to them with relish, and from time to time they were comparing things to themselves.
"If you know the components, you know how to cut and sew, let's take the formal top as an example, who can demonstrate it live?"
Wang Xuan needed the help of a tailor, and the model was himself.
This is a rare opportunity, who doesn't want to show their face in front of the young master?
So in response to the many, Wang Xuan picked a pleasing young woman to come out, he didn't want to find himself unhappy.
"You were all involved in the production of the professional attire I ordered last time, and now you can make me a formal top based on my figure. ”
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he straightened his arms and cooperated with the tailor.
The woman measured Wang Xuan's bust circumference, waist circumference, bottom hem, shoulder width, sleeve length, cuff width and other data, and then drew the size on the fabric, and then used the knife to cut.
After the parts are cut, it is sewing.
Before sewing, the tailor also took the fabric and compared it to Wang Xuan again, a little unconfident.
About an hour later, the pockets and buttons were also ready, and Wang Xuan hurriedly entered the private room to change into new clothes.
When he came out again, he was already a trendy guy in a white shirt.
The tailors are not, they have their own appreciation angles, and the overall impression is spiritual, capable, and trendy.
Subsequently, with the joint efforts of everyone, the pants were quickly ready, and after a complete set of changes, Wang Xuan seemed to have returned to the past, but unfortunately he was no longer the original self in the mirror.
After relieving his nerves, Wang Xuan said: "The techniques of making clothes are similar, you are the experts in this, what you lack is just ideas." You can rest assured that these drawings can be regarded as my personal technical support for your factory. ”
This made everyone very happy, and they all blushed with excitement and had thick necks, shouting Wang Xuanyingming at the top of their voices.
"In clothing design, the materials, colors, lines, etc. should be consistent between parts and parts, and between parts and wholes, and should focus on emphasizing key points, such as my top, the special design of the placket, neckline, and cuffs is the focus. ”
Wang Xuan said something about his understanding of clothing design, although he is half a bucket of water, it does not prevent him from pretending to be thirteen.
"In addition, it should also be in line with the sense of balance, such as the placket and trouser legs, both sides are symmetrical and consistent, this is balance. ”
Everyone pondered it, and it was really as Wang Xuan said, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts.
"At present, we should focus on the fabrics and styles, the fabrics worn by the workers should be wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, and the fabrics worn by the merchants should be smooth and comfortable, and the style, I have already demonstrated to you, this point needs to be further explored. ”
"In addition, you can find someone to try on your new design and let the general public judge whether they are satisfied or not. ”
This is the fashion show, even if the garment factory can't think of this stubble, Wang Xuan also plans to hold a session of scenery to completely start the reputation of auspicious clothing.
On this day, the ten mannequins brought were all dressed in a trendy outfit. Looking at the models who are uniformly dressed, trendy and have the same figures, the seamstresses feel comfortable physically and mentally, and get great satisfaction.
Subsequently, Wang Xuan placed three orders for the garment factory.
Wang's Distillery ordered 400 pieces of overalls, Wang's Vehicle Equipment Factory ordered 300 pieces of overalls, and Wang's kitchenware ordered 400 pieces of overalls, and the delivery date was three months later.
Ignoring the madness of the garment factory, Wang Xuan returned to the lord's mansion.
On the 21st, "Jixiang Weekly" published on the front page of Wang Xuan's inspection of the garment factory, and also dug out a deeper insider, the master designed dozens of kinds of clothing for the garment factory, and the style was trendy.
At the end, a reporter also exclusively disclosed that the young master ordered more than 1,000 new uniforms for himself and the eldest lady's factory.
Before noon, the garment factory was already in full swing, and the guards were struggling in the surging crowd.
On the 22nd, Furui Wood Products Factory sent 30 human models to the garment factory in an urgent manner, on the condition that their factory's orders should be rushed first.
On the 23rd, the staff hall of the garment factory was transformed into a clothing exhibition hall, and all kinds of clothes designed by Wang Xuan were worn on the model, and everyone was dazzled and fascinated.
Since then, auspiciousness has been the vane of the clothing industry. ”
Some foreign businessmen sighed, once in a thousand years!
