Chapter 124: Much More Expensive
Lan Shu does not consider making those complicated leather bags in a short period of time, but wants to make some small bags with simple craftsmanship that are used to match clothes.
For example, the light-colored cloth bag that came out of the factory a few years ago.
After that, Lan Shu also plans to come up with some small bags with wool checks.
Or bags made of plush fabrics should also be very popular with young and fashionable women.
Once you have a plan, the next step is to move it forward.
For the style design of clothes, Lan Shu can draw a lot at will, but with the development of direct stores in the future, it is impossible for her to take care of all the clothing design.
So Lan Shu found that the scale of the factory she had only expanded the year before last was now the time to continue to expand!
This time, in addition to recruiting fashion designers, she also had to recruit a group of female sewing workers.
As for the clothing pattern cutting master who matched the sewing workers, Lan Shu had already handed over to Ji Xiaoju and several other pattern makers to let them select talented sewing workers from the factory.
After soliciting the opinions of these selected people, the pattern maker will teach them pattern making and cutting.
Pattern makers have a higher status in the industry than sewing workers, and the wages are also high, so many people are willing to switch to this industry.
So now, the position of the pattern maker in the factory needs to be expanded, and the internal personnel in the factory can directly go to the top!
Lan Shu told Secretary Tang and Ah Xing about these thoughts.
For the job of a fashion designer, Ah Xing is very interested.
However, she also has to manage the daily work of the employees of the garment factory, which is really empty.
plus the fact that she continues to recruit people, it is enough for her to be busy for a while.
Secretary Tang is also very busy, in addition to her secretarial work, she also has to take care of finances.
From just over a month since she became a secretary, she has greatly improved her personal ability!
This time, I heard Director Lan say that he wanted to expand the scale of the factory again, and Secretary Tang's first request was-
"Director Lan, our factory must recruit a financial officer first!"
Without finances, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand it!
Lan Shu listened to it and thought so.
It's time for them to hire finance in the factory.
However, it is not easy to recruit professional and trustworthy finance.
Regarding this situation, Lan Shu decided to call Zhang Yunjing later to see if she had such connections over there, and she could introduce suitable people to work in the factory.
On this day, Lan Shu stayed in the garment factory, except for making a phone call to Zhang Yunjing, the rest of the time was to select fabrics and draw design drawings of clothes according to the fabrics.
And Secretary Tang, A Xing, and Xie Xiaoju acted in a tripartite manner, and they made enough effort in recruiting people!
…
When Lanshu's toilet paper mill and garment factory developed in an orderly manner, on the other side, Chiping toilet paper mill.
Meng Zhuo, 29 years old, is the son of the former director of the Chiping Toilet Paper Mill, and he is also the current director.
Unlike Qingyang County Tissue Mill, which was separated from a paper mill, Chiping Tissue Mill had only one factory from the beginning.
Therefore, in terms of transformation, Chiping toilet paper mill is much easier than Qingyang county toilet paper mill.
In today's general environment, when state-owned enterprises are struggling to survive, and many factories must face the choice of transformation or bankruptcy, Meng Zhuo took the factory to choose transformation.
The cause of the transformation of the factory began more than two months ago, after Meng Zhuo saw the sanitary napkins produced by the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory.
Sanitary napkins may seem inconspicuous, but they are essential consumables for women.
He just spent two days trying to figure out whether to take the factory to transform, and two days later, he had the result!
Although the efficiency of their toilet paper mill is not very good, it is also profitable, and it has accumulated some funds over the years.
After he trusted his relationship and contacted the foreign machinery factory that purchased sanitary napkin production machinery from Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory, Meng Zhuo took out more than half of the money in the factory and bought a machine.
As the machine arrived in the factory and the sanitary napkins were produced, it turned out that his choice was not wrong.
The sanitary napkins produced in their factory are selling very well, and the profits are much higher than the previous toilet paper.
So it didn't take long for the factory to start making a steady profit.
At this time, the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory launched a day and night combination of sanitary napkins.
As soon as the kind of sanitary napkins with two combinations in a pack appeared, they instantly seized the market!
Even Chiping City, there are many local businesses who choose to purchase from Qingyang County Toilet Paper Mill.
Seeing such a situation, Meng Zhuo's first reaction was to immediately catch up with the production situation of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Mill and buy another machine to produce night sanitary napkins!
It's a pity that they have limited funds in the factory, and it is not so easy to buy a second machine.
In order to raise money, Meng Zhuo even did not hesitate to sell his house, and the internal fundraising of the employees in the factory solved the problem of money.
But when he collected the money for the second sanitary napkin production machine, he found out that the factory wanted to produce night sanitary napkins, and he also had to buy machine accessories for the production of night sanitary napkins!
The sales person in charge of the foreign machinery factory said that the price of spare parts is not high, only about 1,000 yuan, but because this kind of accessories has patent restrictions, so if they want to use it in the factory, they must apply for the right to use the patent.
As for the price of the right to use the patent, the foreign factory gave the answer the next day, 3,000 yuan a year, until their factory no longer produces this type of sanitary napkin.
Meng Zhuo didn't know what patents were all about, but when he learned about them, he found that foreign patent use regulations are very strict.
Once you use foreign patented things without authorization, even domestic factories will be sued and compensated, and the consequences will be serious!
Meng Zhuo was helpless, if he wanted to increase night sanitary napkins in his factory, he had to follow the rules of foreign countries.
In order to make up the money, Meng Zhuo opened his face to borrow some from relatives, and even used the way of concessions to advance part of the purchase cost of sanitary napkins with several purchasing merchants, so that he could barely get the money to buy the patent right to use sanitary napkins for night use.
And this money is only the right to use it for one year.
He will pay again in the future!
Meng Zhuo suddenly felt that the cost of buying the right to use a patent was much more expensive than buying a machine......
If their factory continues to develop, it won't be many years before the royalties will be able to buy a machine.
…
Three days later, Qingyang County Toilet Paper Mill.
Regarding the purchase of the paper mill next door, Deputy Director Zhu has reached an agreement with the relevant departments of the city and has completed the formalities.
From bankrupting the factory to selling the factory, the cost is not much.
Originally, the paper mill had eight large workshops, four small workshops, and more than 20 warehouses.
In addition to one large workshop, two warehouses originally used by the tissue mill, and another large workshop later purchased, supporting two warehouses.
This time, according to Lan Shu's requirements, Deputy Director Zhu bought the remaining six large workshops, four small workshops, and 17 warehouses.
