Chapter 36: Finalized
"It's a pleasure to meet Sister Lu!" sent the rest of the people away, but Song Yunping left Lu Qingyi alone.
In the box specially used for entertaining in the canteen, Song Yunping and Lu Qingyi sat opposite each other, in the middle was a tea table, with a tea set on it, and Song Yunping was skillfully making tea for Lu Qingyi.
"Sister Lu, please drink tea!"
Looking at Song Yunping's skillful tea-making action, Lu Qingyi's eyes already flashed a little bit of brilliance, and when Song Yunping brought the brewed tea to him, the fragrance of the tea came to his nose, and Lu Qingyi felt more and more surprised.
As the so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway, Lu Qingyi himself doesn't like tea, but the elders in the family are a middle-aged veteran, and they are well versed in this way.
Lu Qingyi picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "The tea soup is clear, the tea is fragrant, and Director Song has good craftsmanship!" β
"I'm just fooling around, making a show, fooling the layman!" Song Yunping smiled, and after a few modest words, she didn't entangle Lu Qingyi more on this topic, and asked instead: "Sister Lu is also in the clothing business in Jiangbei?" β
Lu Qingyi shook his head and looked at Song Yunping with a smile and said, "No, I'm doing freight!" β
"Freight?" Song Yunping was a little surprised: "Then why did Sister Lu suddenly think about coming to the clothing business?" β
Lu Qingyi smiled slightly, two shallow dimples appeared on both sides of his cheeks, and said bluntly: "It's clear that it's a money-making deal, why don't you do it?" β
"How can Sister Lu be sure that she will be able to make money if she joins Splendid Clothing?" Song Yunping suddenly became interested in the woman in front of her.
Lu Qingyi said: "If you can't make money, then why did those people who came with me just now still run to the door!" β
"Sister Lu is a cheerful person!" Song Yunping did not hesitate to praise herself.
Lu Qingyi also smiled and said: "I see that Director Song is also a cheerful person!" β
Looking at each other, the smiles on the faces of the two grew stronger.
"Sister Lu came back this time, it shouldn't be just for the indicators of that county and city to join!"
Facing Lu Qingyi's gaze, Song Yunping asked meaningfully.
Lu Qingyi said: "You call me Sister Lu, I call you Director Song, it's a little raw, so let's be fooled how old you are, so I'll take care of you, how about calling you Xiaoping?" β
"As long as Sister Lu likes it, you can call it whatever you want!" Song Yunping Shi Ran said with a smile, whether it was in his expression or tone, there was no reluctance.
Lu Qingyi said: "Xiaoping, my sister feels that she is in love with you when she sees you, and my sister doesn't hide it from you, my sister still has some spare money in her hands, and her family has a little background in Jiangbei, so you don't have to worry about those miscellaneous things." β
"Your splendid clothing in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years is very famous, many of our Jiangbei people have deliberately run to the East China Sea to buy your clothes, sister and you to the bottom, this time the sister deliberately ran over, is to run your splendid clothing in the six cities and thirteen counties of Jiangbei to join the store!"
"Sister Lu, you won't know this way of joining a long time ago, right?" Song Yunping looked at Lu Qingyi with flickering eyes, and suddenly asked.
Lu Qingyi, who had always been confident and calm, was finally stunned by Song Yunping's question.
"Why did Xiaoping suddenly ask that?" After reacting, Lu Qingyi asked in some surprise.
Song Yunping said: "Guess! β
"Guess?" Lu Qingyi looked Song Yunping up and down, surprised but with such a strange look.
Song Yunping said: "Otherwise, how could Sister Lu agree so quickly, and didn't you say it yourself just now, Sister Lu, did you come for the franchise right of the six cities and thirteen counties in Jiangbei?" β
Lu Qingyi's face suddenly showed a sudden look.
Song Yunping looked at Lu Qingyi with a smile and said, "Sister Lu knows County Magistrate Xu? β
Lu Qingyi smiled and said, "No wonder Brother Xu praises you so much for Xiaoping!" β
"Sister Lu is very familiar with County Magistrate Xu?" Song Yunping asked curiously, although it was certainly not easy to know Lu Qingyi's identity, Song Yunping still looked like she was neither humble nor arrogant just now, and she did not lower her posture at all because of this.
"It's not too familiar!" Lu Qingyi said: "The elders of our two families are old comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side, and they have a little friendship, I have only met Brother Xu a few times, but Brother Xu is honest and has a good character, and my father likes him very much." β
Song Yunping nodded and said: "County Magistrate Xu is indeed a rare good official, and we can have today's splendid clothing thanks to the guidance and help of County Magistrate Xu." β
Lu Qingyi said: "I heard Brother Xu mention this, Brother Xu is just doing you a little favor within the scope of his ability, and it is you who really make the brand of Splendid Clothing up." β
Lu Qingyi is a person who understands, and he had already investigated the background of the splendid costumes clearly before he came, and he also understood in his heart that although Song Yunping in front of him was from a humble background, he was different from other rural women.
I have read books, I have the ability, knowledge, courage, I am also smart, the key is to study, I am a diligent woman who is not afraid of hardship.
Although Lu Qingyi and Song Yunping only met for the first time, they had inquired about Song Yunping's character from the county magistrate Xu as early as before, and just now in the conference room, they had seen Song Yunping's methods with their own eyes, and Song Yunping made a deeper and deeper impression on her.
After a few words of greeting, Song Yunping brought the topic back to the topic: "Sister Lu, it's not that I don't believe you, but the six cities and thirteen counties in Jiangbei, if all the franchise stores are opened, not to mention the franchise fee, the decoration alone will cost a lot of money, not to mention the rent, water and electricity of the store, and a large number of people will have to be recruitedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"In this way, the cost is not low!" Although she knew that Lu Qingyi had an extraordinary background and a rich net worth, Song Yunping couldn't help but persuade: "And the sales of our splendid clothing in Jiangnan are good, it is because we have been developing for a long time, and we are a local enterprise, but if you go to Jiangbei, you will spread the stall so big all of a sudden, I am afraid of Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·."
"Sister!" Lu Qingyi didn't call Xiaoping anymore, and called her sister directly with a smile: "Do you think sister, I look like that kind of reckless person?" β
Facing Lu Qingyi's gaze, Song Yunping shook her head and said, "No." β
"Is that because you don't have faith in your splendid clothes?" Lu Qingyi asked again.
Song Yunping hurriedly said: "Of course I have confidence in our splendid clothing, our clothes are made of solid materials, the style is novel and good-looking, we also have special designers, and we will launch new styles every quarter, so we don't have to worry about not selling!" β
"That's it!" Lu Qingyi smiled and said, "You are so confident yourself, can't I also have confidence in myself, sister?" β
"No, no, no! Of course not! Song Yunping hurriedly explained: "Sister Lu, I didn't mean that, this old saying is good, the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, I am afraid that you will spread too big all of a sudden, and you can't take care of it!" β
Lu Qingyi smiled confidently and said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I know you are kind, but since I dare to do this, then I must have my confidence." β
"In that case, then I'll take back what I just said! But Sister Lu, my ugly words can be said in front, although you know the county magistrate Xu, but the conditions for joining cannot be changed, if you lose money in the future, the franchise fee will not be refunded, Sister Lu has to think about it carefully. β
Lu Qingyi said without hesitation: "What else is there to consider, I have already thought about it clearly before I came, otherwise, I would not have made this trip." β
"Then I won't be polite to Sister Lu, I wish us a happy cooperation?" Song Yunping smiled and got up and stretched out her hand.
Lu Qingyi also stood up, shook hands with Song Yunping and said, "Happy cooperation!" β
Lu Qingyi's arrival and generosity have completely exceeded Song Yunping's expectations, six cities and thirteen counties in Jiangbei, the franchise fee alone is a lot of money, if they are all opened, with the output of today's splendid clothing, it will definitely not be able to keep up.
When I got home, my mother had already cooked the meal.
Now Song Yunping is almost in the garment factory, Wang Chong and Song Jishan are also running in the pharmaceutical factory and the field, and they have to take care of the clinic.
Originally, Song Jishan and Song Mother also urged Wang Chong and Song Yunping to have another one, but seeing that the two of them were getting busier and busier day by day, the old couple also stopped thinking about it, anyway, now that they have their grandson and granddaughter, no matter how much, Song Mother can't take care of it alone.
Besides, the old couple still has a son, and now Song Yunhui and Cheng Kaiyan are about to enter the palace of marriage, and the old couple also firmly believe that soon, they should hold their grandson.
At night, the two lay on the bed, hugged each other and slept together, Song Yunping leaned on Wang Chong's arms and expressed his concerns.
"Do you think you're going to spread the stall too big this time? At that time, if Jiangbei can't sell it, and the goods are pressed in the warehouse, how much money will we have to lose. β
Now to supply the franchise stores in six cities and thirteen counties in Jiangbei, the factory is bound to usher in another expansion, plus the franchise stores in Jiangnan, the scale must not be small, if the clothes can't be sold, they are backlogged in the warehouse, the workers have no work, is it difficult to dismiss them again?
If you resign, the reputation of the splendid clothing will be bad, but if you don't quit, feed so many workers, you have to have expenses every day, and now the splendid garment factory is implemented in the piecework salary method, the basic salary of each month is very low, earn more and earn less, it all depends on the efficiency of the workers, if the clothes can not be sold, the workers will not work, and the money will naturally be less.
"There is no such thing as a sure-fire business in this world, and doing business is risk-taking!" Wang Chong hugged Song Yunping's hand and couldn't help but add a little more strength and said: "Either you will be in a safe corner and don't consider the expansion of the franchise, or you will harden your heart, whether it is success or failure, how can you know if you don't try." β
"I'm just worried." Song Yunping stroked the hairs on Wang Chong's arms, frowned, and sighed.
Wang Chongdao: "Actually, you have already thought it through in your heart, and the reason why you asked me is just to find some psychological comfort." β
"yes!" Song Yunping said: "If I haven't thought about it, why should I sign a contract with Lu Qingyi!" β
"Now just wait for her franchise fee to arrive, and we have to send someone to Jiangbei on our side." Song Yunping said.
Wang Zhong asked, "Do you personally lead the team over, or do you send someone?" β
Song Yunping pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go personally!" β
"Are you going to use the franchise store in Jiangbei as an advertisement?" has been married for many years, how can Wang Chong not guess Song Yunping's thoughts.
Song Yunping said: "That's right! Either you don't do it, and since you do it, you have to do it well! β
"Lu Qingyi's appearance is indeed a bit sudden, but this is not an opportunity for splendid clothing!" This was said by Wang Chong, and it went directly to Song Yunping's heart.
"Yes! This is a challenge, a risk, but also an opportunity! β
Wang Chongdao: "Look, haven't you already thought it through clearly!" β
Song Yunping looked up at Wang Chong, looking at each other, feeling the support and encouragement mixed in Wang Chong's calm and indifferent gaze, Song Yunping's heart moved slightly, and she involuntarily leaned into Wang Chong's arms again.
A week later, Splendid Clothing released the news, looking for franchisees in the counties and cities near the East China Sea and Jinzhou, the news just went out when it did cause a lot of sensation, after all, now Splendid Clothing in the East China Sea and Jinzhou popularity, no one can afford it, but when people see the conditions of joining, those who are eager to try at the beginning, many of them have retreated.
I paid for renting a house and decorating to recruit people, and I also had to pay a franchise fee, and I had to share the profits of Splendid Clothing every year.
But there are also people who are active, and after quietly settling the accounts in their hearts, they quietly take the initiative to go to Jinling County, for fear of making a disturbance, or going slowly, and being the first to go.
I have to say that in these years, some people look forward and backward, afraid of this and that, but there is no shortage of people who dare to take risks in order to make money and make a fortune.
In less than half a month, the franchisees on both sides of the Jiangnan and North Rivers have been finalized, and because the time is too tight, even Wang Chong was arrested by Song Yunping.
Song Yunping personally went to Jiangbei to help Lu Qingyi keep an eye on the site selection and decoration of the nineteen franchise stores, and on the Jiangnan side, Wang Zhong could only temporarily lead someone to help Song Yunping keep an eye on it.
After all, the current splendid clothing is still only a small county-level private enterprise, although there is no shortage of people who can take care of things, but can be independent of the highly educated talents, after graduating from university, either go abroad, or accept distribution, or enter the government units, or enter those state-owned factories, naturally no one chooses such a small private enterprise in Jinling County.
Such a large franchise fee not only allowed the garment factory to purchase enough machines and manpower, but also repaid the money borrowed from the bank for increasing textile equipment.
The two flagship stores in Donghai and Jinzhou, as well as the local store in Jinling, bring in monthly profits, as well as the profits saved in the first two years, which are enough to maintain the normal operation of Splendid Clothing.
