Chapter 61 Opening Ceremony
An order of 1,200 sets may seem like a big deal, but for a medium-sized garment factory, it's just a small business, and they won't even bother with such a small order if it weren't for the possibility of a bigger order in the future.
In order to ensure the image of Lu Ying clothing, in the selection of fabrics, as well as other materials, Gao Zhan directly selects high standards, although the clothing is an OEM, but it is never shoddy, if it is unqualified, it will be returned directly to the foundry.
According to the design drawing, the garment foundry worked overtime, 24 hours a day, and soon produced the finished product, after a detailed inspection, the garment was sent to the warehouse, and then ...... Just waiting for the clothing store to open.
Before the opening, of course, advertising is to be done, although there is no capital to do TV advertising, but the flyer still has to be sent, at the very least, let everyone know that the store has opened, but also let everyone know what price the clothes sold in this store are in, otherwise, it will be bad when the time comes.
After finding a color printing agency and printing a large number of exquisite leaflets, Gao Zhan and his party all went out, more than a dozen girls and Gao Zhan, respectively, took a dozen leaflets and distributed them on the pedestrian street.
In the next few days, the girls rushed to the store as soon as they got out of school, in fact, there was nothing to dress up, but everyone always liked to walk around the store, adjust the model's posture from time to time, and smooth every wrinkle of the model's clothing, extremely careful.
Friday night, after Zhou Yue contacted, the art college, the design major really has a lot of girls to participate in the test, before the test, first of all, they must submit the design drawings they submitted when they graduate, by Lu Ying to see, to judge whether the other party has a talent in design, in the design industry, it is not enough to work hard, talent determines everything.
However, just checking the graduation project is still not enough, after all...... Everything can be plagiarized, so ...... Lu Ying asked the question on the spot, and everyone drew a simple design drawing to judge whether there was any fishing in troubled waters.
As for the third level, which is also the most important level, Lu Ying gives different photos of female surnames, according to each photo, the students who participate in the test must write their body characteristics, as well as temperament categories, and then describe the focus that should be chosen when choosing clothes for them, how to develop their strengths, and how to avoid their shortcomings.
After testing, Lu Ying quickly selected four girls, these four girls are very aura in terms of design, and in the three level tests, the results of each level are very good, which can be described as outstanding!
Originally, in this test, he only planned to hire three clerks, but Lu Ying did not hesitate to write out four names, which made Gao Zhan very incomprehensible.
When the store first opened, there was no need for so many people in the store, Lin Na, Zhou Yue, He Wei, Peng Yun, Guo Xiufen, all temporarily helped on the first floor, plus the three newly hired, there were eight people, and now there is one more, and the number of people has reached nine, which is simply more sold than bought.
Looking at Gao Zhan's puzzled look, Lu Ying gently leaned into Gao Zhan's ear and whispered: "That girl named Zhang Shan is very aura, although she is still a little immature, but her design is full of aura, which inspires me a lot, and ...... Her design style is exactly what I don't have. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Lu Ying's words, Gao Zhan glanced at Zhang Shan not far away in surprise, the little girl looked fashionable, her hair was dyed burgundy, and the clothes on her body looked unusually trendy, but they were not too public, although they were just cheap clothes, but they just gave the taste of stars.
Lu Ying continued: "My style is inherited from my grandfather, it is the kind of European classical style, the clothes designed are more noble, elegant, and more aristocratic, and more inclined to mature female surnames, white-collar workers, petty bourgeoisie, etc., which are not accepted by real trendy girls, but the clothes designed by Zhang Shan are exactly the kind that are very trendy, fashionable, dynamic, and colorful. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Lu Ying's words, Gao Zhan felt more and more interesting, Lu Ying's design, Gao Zhan is naturally very familiar, solemn, elegant, full of aristocratic atmosphere, but it is not very trendy, but trendy things are usually not too elegant, this is also something that cannot be helped, mainly due to the lack of heritage.
Looking at Gao Zhan, Lu Ying continued: "If you want to go high-end, you naturally need that kind of solemn and elegant style, because the real successful people wear this kind of formal wear, but if you want to go in volume, fashion clothes are more optimistic, but they can't afford to sell for price, and the grade can't go up." ”
"En'en ......" Listening to Lu Ying's words, Gao Zhan quickly understood what she meant, to really play elegant, it has to be Lu Ying's design, but if you want to win the favor of those little girls, you must be at the forefront of fashion.
After thinking about it, Gao Zhan looked at Lu Ying puzzled and said, "Could it be ...... Can't you design clothes that are trendy and fashionable? I think it's all about the same, right? ”
Smiling and shaking her head, Lu Ying explained: "I can design fashionable fashion, but my fashion is elegant fashion, aristocratic fashion, and her fashion is more civilian, with a bit of hip-hop style, and it is unrestrained." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ying paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, if my design is classical, then her design is equivalent to your network, no matter what, it is different, the main features are different, and the rich elements are also different." ”
Nodding suddenly, Lu Ying explained this, Gao Zhan immediately understood, seeing this scene, Lu Ying continued: "If you can, you have to contact her more and communicate, her aura is really good, and her design style is unrestrained, whimsical, and very uninhibited, which is what we currently lack the most." ”
"You're very optimistic about her?" Gao Zhan said curiously.
"En......" nodded categorically, and Lu Ying said seriously: "Although I don't know what realm she can reach in the future, but from her works, I see the aura of the world's top trend masters." ”
Hearing Lu Ying say this, Gao Zhan immediately came to his senses, although it is said that there is no shortage of geniuses in the world, but top geniuses, no matter when and where, are available but not sought, for the current era, top talents, just like the top generals in the Three Kingdoms period, can settle the world.
Soon, the test was completely over, and the girls who didn't pass the selection left one after another, while the four girls who passed the selection stayed, and the store opened tomorrow, and a lot of things had to be said.
After asking Lin Na to take the other three girls to explain, Gao Zhan walked up to Zhang Shan and said in a low voice, "Come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
looked at Gao Zhan strangely, although Zhang Shan was very puzzled, but he didn't ask much, this place is so empty, there are so many people, and he is not afraid that he will be bad, and looking at the appearance of the boss, it is unlikely that such a man cannot lack women.
Following Gao Zhan, the two came to the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around, and Gao Zhan said with a smile: "Your name is Zhang Shan, I'm Gao Zhan, it's a pleasure to meet you." As he spoke, Gao Zhan stretched out his hand.
Smiling and nodding, Zhang Shan stretched out his hand, shook hands with Gao Zhan and said, "I'm also very happy to know you, Boss Gao." ”
"Khan ......" wiped his forehead, and Gao Zhan said with a wry smile: "Don't call me that way?" I am like a half-pulled old man with a fat brain, just call me high. ”
Listening to what Gao Zhan said was interesting, Zhang Shan couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed, and at the same time secretly guessed Gao Zhan's intention of calling her, she didn't think it was because of her beauty that attracted the other party, judging from the other party's eyes, he was very sober and calm, and he didn't look confused at all.
While thinking about it, Gao Zhan continued: "To tell you the truth, our Lu Ying designer is very optimistic about you, and you are very aura, so now I want to find out what you think." ”
After all, she is an urban girl, Zhang Shan quickly understood, although Gao Zhan's words were very omitted, but she knew what he meant, the reason why Gao Zhan talked to her was to want to know, whether she planned to do it here for a long time, if you don't want to do it for a long time, people don't have the heart to train you, after all, ...... Cultivating a person requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
It's nothing to waste financial and material resources, the most feared thing is to waste time, once she runs away halfway, the company's years of training will be in vain, and it will have to be re-cultivated, from a certain point of view, the company is regressing.
Looking at Gao Zhan deeply, Zhang Shanchang took a breath and said, "Do you know what the teachers at school say about me?" ”
Faced with Zhang Shan's inquiry, Gao Zhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile; "I know, of course I know, the file you just handed over has it, deviant, rotten wood can't be carved, right?"
Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Zhang Shan's face couldn't help but have a look of pain, but from beginning to end, her face did not lower even the slightest.
Looking at Gao Zhan deeply, Zhang Shan continued: "Since that's the case, then why are you teasing me? Do you think it's interesting that I have some aura? ”
Looking at Zhang Shan's stubborn expression, Gao Zhan was stunned at first, and then laughed, looking at Zhang Shan's stubborn appearance and refusing to bow his head even if he died, Gao Zhan knew that although she looked strong on the outside, in fact, she was very inferior in her heart, and only people with low self-esteem would have to hold their heads high, because they didn't want others to find out about their inner fragility.
Looking at Zhang Shan calmly, Gao Zhan said solemnly: "What others think of you, that's someone else's business, your mentor's evaluation is not necessarily correct, otherwise, he doesn't need to be a mentor, he has already become a world-class design master." ”
Hearing Gao Zhan's words, a light flashed in Zhang Shan's eyes, and then he continued: "Are you sure you're not joking? ”
Nodding, Gao Zhan affirmed: "I'm really a joker, but I haven't been presumptuous enough to make such a joke with someone I met for the first time, it's not funny at all, right?" ”
"Okay, don't say anything aura, that thing can't be seen or touched, you tell me, what do you like about me?" Zhang Shan asked directly.
looked at Zhang Shan with a smile and said highly; "Maybe in the eyes of your mentor, deviance is rotten wood that cannot be carved, but in my eyes, your deviance is eclectic, imaginative, uninhibited and arrogant, flamboyant and presumptuous, which is what I value the most."
Looking at Gao Zhan suspiciously, Zhang Shan still couldn't believe it, you know...... These special productions have always been strongly condemned by the mentor, every time she hands in such a design, the mentor will scold her for blood, but she really likes these, likes this kind of design, if she does anything else, she can't find any passion at all, and the results are also very mediocre.
Seeing that the other party still didn't believe it, Gao Zhan waved helplessly to Lu Ying in the distance, and when he saw Gao Zhan calling, Lu Ying moved his steps lightly and walked over in a swaying posture.
Seeing Lu Ying coming over, Gao Zhan hurriedly introduced the two of them: "This one is the chief designer of Lu Ying's clothing - Ms. Lu Ying, and this one is the steel rolling necerd that you are very optimistic about!" With Gao Zhan's introduction, the two stretched out their hands at the same time and shook each other.
Gently pinching Lu Ying's jade fingers, Zhang Shan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, the woman in front of him is really too charming, too beautiful, the tender one can pinch out the water, and the charming one can make the blind man open his eyes, that figure, that face, is really the best masterpiece of God.
Looking at Zhang Shan's surprised appearance, Gao Zhan smiled slightly, and continued: "Wife, she doesn't believe anything I tell her, she always thinks I'm teasing her, this job is really not easy to do." ”
Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Lu Ying looked at Zhang Shan with a smile and said: "You are really excellent, you are very aura in design, I am very optimistic about you, so let Gao Zhan fight to keep you, but I don't know your plans for the future......"
looked at Gao Zhan, and then at Lu Ying, Zhang Shan bit his lip and said timidly: "What you said is true?" You're not lying to me, are you? It's not funny at all, I'm going to be really angry. In the face of Zhang Shan's inquiry, Gao Zhan and Lu Ying did not answer, but just looked at her seriously.
Raising his hands, Zhang Shan nodded and said, "Okay...... Even if you trick me, I admit it, there is no problem on my side, as long as you are willing to use me, I will continue to do it here, anyway, with my grades, other places will not want me. ”
Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Gao Zhan and Lu Ying laughed at the same time, although Zhang Shan is still very young and incomplete, but the aura is very high, as long as he cultivates it well, he will definitely become the pillar of Lu Ying's clothing.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhan turned his head and motioned for Lu Ying to go back and continue to communicate with the three newly recruited girls, then turned his head and looked at Zhang Shan and said, "Maybe you don't know much about our Lu Ying costumes, so here, I will briefly introduce you." ”
Looking at Zhang Shan, Gao Zhan continued: "All the employees of our Luying Clothing must start from the grassroots level, and they must be clerks in the store for at least three months before they can enter the inner layer of the company. ”
"Ahh Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Zhang Shan suddenly showed a nervous look, looked at Gao Zhan worriedly, and said, "Is it ...... Do I still have to pay a deposit, or a security deposit or something? ”
Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Gao Zhan held his forehead painfully, shook his head and said: "Don't always think that we are so bad or not, in fact, every employee of the company has to go through this procedure, and I will not charge you a penny, and there is no so-called internship period, at the beginning of work, it is 1500 yuan a month, plus lunch subsidies and the like, there will be about 2000 yuan a month, which is our basic treatment here." ”
"Ahh So good? Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Zhang Shan's eyes suddenly lit up, but the look of vigilance on his face was still very strong.
Smiling and nodding, Gao Zhan continued: "Once the three months are over, you can really become an internal member of the company, you can enter the design room, design creation, as long as your design has passed the review of Chief Designer Lu, you can put it into production and sales." ”
"Oh my God! Is it true? Hearing that there was such a good thing, Zhang Shan clenched his fists excitedly.
Looking at Zhang Shan's excited appearance, Gao Zhan continued: "Also, for all the clothes you design, for every piece sold, you can get 10% of the net profit as a bonus!" ”
"Hiss......" Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Zhang Shan couldn't help but gasp, as a student designer, she knows very well how many sets of clothes can be sold, and the net profit is 10%, oh my God...... I can't imagine it!
Seeing that Zhang Shan couldn't believe it anyway, Gao Zhan continued seriously: "Although we are very optimistic about your aura, but in our place, everyone is treated equally, and these terms apply not only to you, but also to every employee, I hope ...... In the near future, every designer of the company can become a billionaire! ”
In the face of Gao Zhan's series of bombshells, Zhang Shan couldn't get used to it, and it took a long time before nodding again and again: "Such a good thing, I really can't find it with a lantern, no problem...... I've done this job, don't fool me! ”
smiled and nodded, and said: "I don't seem to be bored enough to play tricks, don't worry, as long as you are willing to work hard, then every bit of your effort will be rewarded with the best!" ”
While speaking, Gao Zhan turned his head to look at the other end, and saw that the other side seemed to have finished explaining these things, so he turned his head and looked at Zhang Shan and said: "The reason why I called you alone to say this is for a reason, to tell the truth, your aura is very high, we are very optimistic about you, although you are still very immature, but if you are cultivated, you are likely to become the world's top fashion master." ”
"En......" nodded violently, Zhang Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, I know what you are worried about, I am afraid of cultivating a pass, but I ran away, wasting manpower, material resources, and financial resources, rest assured, I Zhang Shan is not such an unrighteous person, if I can really become a master, no matter what conditions others offer, I will not leave." ”
Smiling and nodding, Gao Zhan said gently: "It's good that you can understand our concerns, but don't worry, no matter what, we won't treat any employee badly." ”
Speaking of this, Gao Zhan turned his head, looked in the opposite direction, and said in a low voice: "Okay, the explanation over there has been completed, let's go over together." ”
After meeting Lu Ying and the others, the group of people went down to the first floor together, and then ...... It is a detailed explanation of the scene according to the various clothing, and the time is urgent, and it is too late to carry out special training, but fortunately, it is ...... There are also five old employees in the store, and everyone knows Lu Ying clothing very well.
It wasn't until more than ten o'clock in the evening that everyone left the store, rushed to the nightclub to eat supper, and then took a taxi home, tomorrow ...... It's time for Lu Ying Costume to open.
When I got home, it was almost twelve o'clock, but everyone couldn't sleep, and tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, it will officially open, and everyone is looking forward to it, fantasizing about the scene after the store opens tomorrow, how many clothes will be sold?
The next morning, just after eight o'clock, Huangxing Road, the white building of the pedestrian street opened the door, and there were four flower baskets on the steps at the door...... He is in Changzhou, in fact, he has no friends, and no one will send flower baskets over.
Gao Xian was shining brightly, although he was very excited last night, but after using the breathing method learned in the army, he quickly fell asleep.
Looking at the time, Gao Zhan turned his head and said to Li Qian beside him: "Why hasn't the salute come yet?" It's eight o'clock, and the opening celebration starts at nine o'clock, so it's not too late, right? ”
Pursing her lips, Li Qian said a little worriedly: "Don't worry, I have never made a mistake in my work, the boss of the wedding company, but my brother's original follower, can have today, all thanks to my brother's support at that time, if he dares to release your pigeon, my brother will not pick his skin when he comes back!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Qian looked into the distance, and said a little anxiously: "I personally greeted me the day before yesterday, and I told it again and again, I don't know why I came so late today, if he really dares to release our pigeons, then ...... We can pick him up, and we can beat him back to his prototype as well! ”
While she was talking, Lin Na walked out of the store and said eagerly: "Boss, we don't seem to be ready for the ribbon banner upstairs, it's too late to get it now, do you want to ......?"
Shaking his head, Gao Zhan said categorically: "Let's not do that, although it is indeed festive to hang the giant banners upstairs, but this is not our style, the real aristocracy never does this, the flower basket at the door and the red carpet are enough to let everyone know that we are opening today." ”
Speaking of this, Gao Zhan turned his head, looked at Lin Na with a frown and said: "Also, what are you panicking about, everything is with me, you can do it well, you don't need to worry about the rest, your only task is to give customers the best service, and I will do the rest." ”
Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Lin Na breathed a sigh of relief, although Gao Zhan rarely appeared in the store, but as Gao Zhan said, all along, they just need to deal with the things in the store, and they don't need to worry about other things at all, and they are not good at this thing.
"And!" Looking at Lin Na, Gao Zhan continued: "The metal card we ordered has not arrived, call to urge, what time is it?" Why is it so rubbing? ”
Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Lin Na hurriedly said: "I called and asked just now, and they said that it was ready, and it had been sent here, saying that it should have arrived." ”
As she was talking, Lin Na's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the distance and said, "Look, isn't that one?" ”
Hearing Lin Na's words, Gao Zhan turned his head to see that a young man, carrying a tool kit and a cardboard box in his arms, walked quickly towards this side.
Under the gaze of Gao Zhan and others, the young man came to the front of the building and said loudly: "This is Lu Ying's costume, right?" I'm here to press the sign, where do I want to press it? ”
Seeing that the other party finally came, Gao Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly led the young man to the door, pointed to the pillar between the two gates, and said, "Just install the sign here." ”
Looking at the thickness of the column, the young man didn't say anything, when he came yesterday, the groove had already been buckled, and the expansion wire had been laid, and now he just had to install it.
Opening the cardboard box, the young man took out a 21-inch LCD screen-sized stainless steel plaque and began to install it, and it only took more than ten minutes to put the plaque on the doorpost.
Looking from a distance, on the crystal steel plaque, there are two rows of words, the first row is red Chinese characters, the second row is black English characters, the content of the words is the same - women's clothing store, men are exempt!
Nodding with satisfaction, Gao Zhan paid the balance and sent the installer away, for Gao Zhan's decision, others actually did not agree, but who called Gao Zhan the boss, whether you agree or not, the rules are set by the boss, employees only have the right to suggest, but not the final decision-maker.
In the eyes of other girls, when girls buy clothes, most of them will be accompanied by their boyfriends, and they will ask their boyfriends to help them with their eyes to see if the clothes are suitable for them, but Gao Zhan doesn't want men to enter the store, most men are more enthusiastic, and it is easy to cause trouble.
The most important thing is that as the chief designer, Lu Ying will often walk around the store, once seen by those fly-like men, Gao Zhan is really annoyed, even if he makes less money, Gao Zhan must avoid this trouble.
Since leaving Baijia Village with Bai Lu and Lu Ying, the two women have really caused too much trouble, Gao Zhan has narrowly escaped several times, even if Gao Zhan doesn't mind, but don't forget, it's not just Gao Zhan who is in danger, the two girls may also encounter accidents! To blame...... It's just that they are so beautiful.
During business hours, no man is allowed to enter the store, not even Gao Zhan, otherwise, it will be really troublesome to encounter those thorns.
Seeing this scene, Li Qian finally couldn't bear it, took out her mobile phone and dialed it, as soon as the phone was connected, Li Qian said in a deep voice: "Manager Jiang, why hasn't the salute arrived yet?" Didn't you forget? ”
On the other end of the phone, a young man who was nearly thirty years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and a pair of gold-wire glasses, hurriedly stood up, walked to the window with the phone, and said carefully: "How can it, what Miss Li explained, even if I am killed, I dare not forget it!" I think so, you have helped me so much, and I don't know how to thank you all the time, so I have returned the last few celebrations, and now I am collecting the salutes from several branches, and borrowing some from my peers, hehe...... If you want to do it, make a big scene, no matter what, I can't embarrass you, can I? ”
"You...... What exactly are you trying to do? Hearing Manager Jiang's words, Li Qian understood a little, but she still didn't know very well.
Listening to Li Qian's words, Manager Jiang accompanied him and said carefully: "That's the case, I plan to gather 88 salutes, so that I can be worthy of Miss Li's grade, you can use my surname Jiang, that is my greatest honor, not to make an unprecedented, not to record the whole thing, how can I be worthy of you, it's just ...... It was a bit of a waste of time to gather these salutes, and to check if they worked, which delayed some time, but now that they are ready, they are already rushing over there, and they will definitely be delivered in ten minutes. ”
"En......" Hearing Manager Jiang's words, Li Qian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then thank you Manager Jiang, okay...... That's it, you hold on tight, don't have any more accidents! While speaking, Li Qian hung up the phone.
Seeing Li Qian hang up the phone, Gao Zhan said eagerly: "How is it?" Isn't there something wrong? ”
Glancing at Gao Zhan mysteriously, Li Qian smiled and said: "Something is indeed wrong, but it's a good thing, don't ask too much, within ten minutes, they will arrive, and you will understand when the time comes." ”
Hearing Li Qian's words, Gao Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, Li Qian has always been very documentary, so far, there has never been a mistake, as long as she says it's okay, it's really okay.
Just thinking about it, Gao Zhan's eyes subconsciously glanced into the distance, and his eyes suddenly widened, and when he looked, more than a dozen young people, one holding a large colorful flower basket, walked over to this side, this is ......
Under Gao Zhan's annotation, more than a dozen young people walked closer, put down the flower baskets in their hands, and when Gao Zhan was about to go up to inquire suspiciously, the crowd was divided, Sun Peng strode over, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Brother Gao's new store is open, why don't you notify me, don't you treat me as a friend!" ”
Seeing Brother Sun appear, Gao Zhan hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, shook hands with Brother Sun, and said loudly: "Brother Sun is busy, I am embarrassed to disturb casually, but this time Brother Sun broke the bank." ”
"Where is the ......" shook hands with Gao Zhan vigorously, Sun Peng pointed to those flower baskets and said: "These don't cost a lot of money, just hold a scene, lively, hurry up...... Put all the flower baskets on the table! ”
Hearing Brother Sun's words, more than a dozen young people hurriedly held the flower basket to the steps, and placed it neatly next to each other, and looked carefully, the flower basket was written with xxx general association, xxx song and dance hall, xxx bar, xxx head office, xxx limited company...... It seems that this is all Brother Sun's industry.
As soon as he let go of Brother Sun's hand, a pedestrian with a flower basket appeared again in the distance, and it seemed that he was rushing here, and he ...... soon Under Gao Zhan's gaze, Boss Zhou walked over with a big belly and a smile on his face, and the four young people behind him, Gao Zhan, also knew each other, and they were workers of Xiangche Beauty.
After sending the flower basket, Sun Peng and Boss Zhou were invited to the opposite café to rest, and when the ceremony began, they came out to watch the ceremony again...... Li Qian ran to the opposite side and set up a private room.
Looking at the twenty or so flower baskets at the door, Gao Zhan's face finally put on a smile, although the gifts given by Brother Sun and Boss Zhou were not valuable, but they were really in line with Gao Zhan's heart.
(To be continued)
