Chapter 316: Trial Career
Chen Jixing was a little embarrassed and whispered: "What do you mean by your fourth sister-in-law...... It's for you to come and partner with us. ”
"Are you sure you want to get embroidery to be sold abroad?" Chen Xingling asked: "Are you sure you want to do this business?" ”
Before, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law held back two or three lines one after another, changed and changed, and finally were overthrown by themselves one by one.
This idea was put forward by her, and she herself was not 100% sure, and she did not dare to make a decision with them to succeed 100%.
Chen Jixing nodded: "I can't think of anything else...... I can only listen to you. ”
Zhu Siya grinned and explained: "I think Ling Ling, you have a business mind, and your advice must not be wrong." Yesterday your fourth brother went to the next village and got some traditional embroidery for me to show - I think it's beautiful! There is that kind of mechanical embroidery abroad, but it is not as beautiful as your hand-embroidery. There are cut-out embroidery, and some cushion embroidery - all of which can't be done with mechanical embroidery. ”
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile: "It seems that you guys are finally getting serious." ”
"That's it!" Chen Jixing explained: "I didn't know what to do before, so I naturally couldn't think about it seriously. Now that it's decided, it's time to dig into it. ”
Zhu Siya still paid attention to the theme of this trip, and asked, "Ling Ling, do you want to come to partner?" ”
Chen Xingling's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head slightly.
"I'm interested, but I don't have much time. First, I still have to go to school, and secondly, I have to help out with some small construction projects occasionally. ”
Chen Jixing frowned when he heard this, and said, "It's really not for you to do those heavy jobs!" You say you're a college student — you should do something related to your studies. ”
"Haha!" Chen Xingling shook his head: "There is no distinction between high and low work, three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion." In terms of architecture, Dali and I have only just begun. In the past six months, I have worked on three projects successively, and finally the entire industrial chain has been clarified. In terms of workers, there is also a more appropriate team. Although I am a girl and do not have much strength, I am mainly responsible for procurement and financial accounting, which is consistent with my major, and I can be regarded as applying what I have learned. ”
Chen Jixing couldn't help but ask: "Is this line really so good?" How can there be so many houses for you to build? ”
"There will always be." Chen Xingling replied with a smile: "Isn't this still two small projects at hand that have not been started?" Your housing plant, as well as Director Guo's new house, are all small projects this spring. ”
Chen Jixing asked again: "How much can such a small brick house earn?" You have to think long-term and don't just focus on small money. ”
"There's still something to be earned." Chen Xingling explained: "We rely on a large number of workers, complete types of work, one-stop service, fast speed and quality assurance. Master Mo was responsible for the design and arrangement, Master Zhang was responsible for leading the workers, Ma Dali was responsible for management and carpentry, and I was responsible for purchasing and accounting. Everyone has a clear division of labor and is very energetic to do their work. That's right, now we are taking on some small projects, and we don't make much money, such as the new house of Ma Dali's family, we don't make a dime. The workers are treated similarly, and they have to make sure that they earn money for their work. ”
"How much can I earn?" Chen Jixing lowered his voice: "Intermittently to earn ...... Income is also unstable. ”
Chen Xingling chuckled: "Small projects will make less money, but we have to persevere, only by doing a good job of small projects, will we have the opportunity to engage in big projects in the future." Only big projects can really make money, such as the big garden in the east of the city, after the final payment is implemented, we can still earn some living expenses. ”
Chen Jixing couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard her say this.
"What you and your sister-in-law and I mean is that I hope you can help us, not just as a partnership. I haven't been in my hometown for many years, I went to sea as a teenager, and more than ten years have passed. Leaving the familiar deck that has been standing for more than ten years, I really don't know what to do for a while. ”
With that, he looked at his wife on the side.
"Your fourth sister-in-law has just returned to China, and everything is strange and new to her. She was originally in the tavern business, and suddenly asked her to go into foreign trade - she also had no idea at all. ”
Zhu Siya smiled bitterly: "Yes! I was suddenly put into a completely unfamiliar profession – and the surroundings were unfamiliar, and I really didn't have any confidence at all. ”
Chen Xingling encouraged: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, take your time little by little." ”
Zhu Siya held her forehead: "The key is that we don't even know how to start!" ”
Chen Jixing lowered his eyes and whispered: "I have talked to my eldest brother and several of them in the past two nights, but they all said that they don't understand these things and can't help us." I also asked them if they wanted to come to the partnership, and they all said they didn't want to. The eldest brother said that they knew how to fish, do some craftsman work, and didn't understand anything else. The factory will help us tidy up, and the house will help us build it, and the rest will not be able to pre-empt their share. ”
"Little sister......" Zhu Siya looked at Chen Xingling pleadingly and asked, "Can you think about it again?" ”
Chen Jixing was reluctant to force his sister, and whispered: "Ling Ling, if she was free, she would have agreed a long time ago." She just didn't have time, and she couldn't give up the career she was just starting out. ”
Zhu Siya heard her husband say this, and she was embarrassed to speak again, but she was still a little unwilling to look at Chen Xingling.
Chen Xingling secretly couldn't bear it, after all, they were all his closest relatives, they needed him so much, they had to fight for help.
"Or else. Actually, the advice I gave you may not be feasible, so we might as well give it a try while we have time now. If we can sell well, we will recruit employees on a large scale to do the work. If it doesn't sell well, you can consider other industries. ”
Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya glanced at each other, and some couldn't react.
"What do you mean? Get your feet wet? ”
"Yes." Chen Xingling explained: "It is to try out the business in advance to see if it can be done." If it can sell well, we will choose to engage in this industry, if not, we don't need to invest too much capital and stop losses in time. ”
In fact, to encourage the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law to engage in this industry, she only felt very good on a whim, and she was not completely sure.
She has little experience in this area, and the fourth brother and sister-in-law obviously have no idea, or even have no idea at all.
"It's normal to venture into a completely unfamiliar industry, and to invest so much in one go, and to have no bottom in your heart. Therefore, we can try the business first and see if this kind of business can be successful. If it can be done, then we will invest and produce on a large scale. ”
Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya finally understood, and smiled one after another.
"How to try? What to do? ”
Chen Xingling thought about it carefully and replied: "Actually, the embroidery skills here in Yucheng have a long history, and it may take more than a thousand years to trace the origin. The embroidery method here is very peculiar, such as the hollow and cushion embroidery method that the fourth sister-in-law said just now, which are all unique embroidery methods here. The patterns are beautiful and colorful, and they not only have practical value, but also artistic value. At present, the embroidery goods here are purchased by foreign merchants and then sold to other parts of the country. ”
Zhu Siya hurriedly said: "We went and asked, many local girls can do it, but they don't make much money, so they just embroider some for their own use in their spare time, such as pillowcases, quilt covers, and some tablecloths." ”
"There are also people who make a living from acquisitions." Chen Xingling is a native of Chongqing, so she knows a lot: "It's usually a small workshop model. I printed the pattern at home, and then hired the girls and women to embroider it for a lot of money, and I took it home to embroider, and the embroidery was finished. The merchant who buys directly goes to a small workshop to buy it, and then transports it to other places to sell, so as to obtain profits. ”
"Uh-oh." Zhu Siya nodded.
Chen Xingling thought for a while and proposed: "Let's learn from the buyer first, go to the small workshop one by one, buy a thousand pieces first, and then consign them through the shipping company." If the sales are good, we will set up an embroidery factory, hire some girls or women with good craftsmanship, give a certain minimum salary, work for a fixed time, and strive to make a factory model. ”
"Good!" Chen Jixing was very excited when he heard this: "This plan is very good!" It can ensure that nothing goes wrong, save which link in the middle is wrong, waste time and energy and lose money! ”
"Uh-huh." Zhu Siya also hurriedly nodded in agreement.
