Chapter 254 Being a model for the first time
Zuo Jingyan followed Lin Zixu to the garment factory. This was her first time here after Lin Zixu built the factory.
As expected of someone who came back from abroad, Lin Zixu's factory is very impressive, with two workshops, a large warehouse and an office building.
Lin Zixu wanted to invite Zuo Jingyan to sit in the office first, and then ask people from the workshop to deliver the clothes, but Zuo Jingyan wanted to see the workshop. Every step of the assembly line was crucial.
When Lin Zixu faced the shrewd and powerful Zuo Jingyan, his suspicion became even stronger and he couldn't help but say:
"I always have a feeling that Boss Zuo has run a factory?"
Zuo Jingyan replied calmly:
"Have you never eaten fat pork and seen a fat pig running? I own a barber shop and hear first-hand news every day. The more you listen, the more you understand everything."
Lin Zixu praised very politely:
"Boss Zuo is really a genius in business. He is so smart and capable just by listening to people chatting."
Obviously he didn't believe it, but Zuo Jingyan didn't need to explain too much to him, boasting arrogantly:
"There's no way I'm just so smart. After just one day of studying in a barber shop, I can outshine others. I can learn by watching others draw. I can design clothes by dreaming. I can become the business genius you call me by listening to people talk.
.”
Lin Zixu didn't expect Zuo Jingyan to praise him so much. He was stunned for a moment before laughing:
"That's right, Boss Zuo is extremely smart."
The more I get to know her, the more I find her personal charm. Working with such a person, even if I get 20% of the profit, is worth it.
Lin Zixu made a gesture of invitation coolly and said with a smile:
"Let's go, I'll take you to the workshop."
The two of them arrived at the cutting and sewing workshop first. There were two big projects in the cutting workshop. Eight cutters were working. Although no one was supervising the work, no one was lazy, and the speed was very fast.
Zuo Jingyan took a look and saw that they were all in fixed sizes. There was a template that had been cut out first. Just follow the template and cut it. The fabric was very pure, just the denim fabric she wanted.
Lin Zixu’s efficiency and ability are really amazing. I don’t know where he found the fabric? Have denim clothes begun to appear abroad?
Lin Zixu thought Zuo Jingyan was watching the workers cutting, so he said to her:
"They are all paid on a piece-rate basis. The more you work, the more you get. If the cut is broken, your wages will be deducted, so you don't have to worry about them being fooled or being lazy."
Zuo Jingyan glanced at Lin Zixu, she was worthy of being a capitalist. She came from modern times and knew about piece rate wages, and he has now applied it in production.
Lin Zixu took Zuo Jingyan to visit the cutting workshop and told her about the process from production and processing to shipping abroad.
"After cutting here, it is immediately sent to the sewing workshop. After it is made into ready-made clothes, it needs to be fastened, threaded, and packaged. After completing the formalities, it is sent to the port city, where it is exported to foreign countries."
“Really good.”
Zuo Jingyan nodded while visiting.
Lin Zixu led Zuo Jingyan to the finished product workshop, asked the workshop director to bring over the finished denim series, and said to Zuo Jingyan:
"These sets of costumes are made as models, take a look."
Zuo Jingyan picked up the garment and first looked at the workmanship. The threads were straight and there were no extra threads. The pattern was the same as her own design and the quality was good.
Lin Zixu looked at the face that looked similar to Lingyu's and couldn't help but said to Zuo Jingyan:
"You try it and see how the pattern looks like?"
When Lingyu was alive, every time the group released a new product, he would be the first to let her try it on. If Lingyu liked it, he would designate it as the main series, and if Lingyu didn't like it, he would discard it.
I really miss Lingyu, it would be great if she didn’t die!
Zuo Jingyan didn't notice Lin Zixu's sad look. She also wanted to see the effect. She took her clothes and went to the small room behind the workshop to change.
Lin Zixu stood in front of the table, tapping his fingers on the table, looking in the direction of the cabin, his heart as calm as the lake suddenly had waves, he was looking forward to seeing the effect of wearing it.
Zuo Jingyan changed her clothes and came out of the house. There was no mirror in the workshop, but there was glass on the door. Zuo Jingyan could only see the effect of her clothes on the glass.
Lin Zixu's eyes lit up when he saw Zuo Jingyan coming out, and a bold idea came to his mind:
"Boss Zuo, your temperament is so good. I have an idea. You designed these clothes. Can you wear them for promotional photos?"
Zuo Jingyan was stunned. Do you want her to be a clothing model?
"Don't worry, it's not free. In our foreign countries, it's called a graphic model, and you can be paid a thousand yuan."
Lin Zixu was afraid that Zuo Jingyan would not agree, so he quoted a high price, and he could pay 1,000 yuan for eight sets of costumes.
Zuo Jingyan was moved, not because of the one thousand yuan, but because the clothes were designed by herself. So if she used her portrait for publicity, wouldn't it be equivalent to promoting herself?
She did not agree immediately, but put forward conditions:
"Mr. Lin, I can agree, but there is a condition. The publicity must indicate that I am a fashion designer."
Lin Zixu was very happy to see that she agreed, and immediately agreed to her request:
"No problem, if you want, I can apply to the group to make you an internationally famous designer."
Although this batch of clothing has not yet been put on the market, Lin Zixu's keen sense of fashion trends will make it an instant success once it is put on the market, so he dares to boast about it in Haikou.
Zuo Jingyan is very interested. This is a field that she has not touched in her previous life but is very interested in. Becoming a world-renowned designer sounds good.
If you become a famous designer and you are eligible to get shares in the factory, then you can just sit at home and get money from the sky.
Lin Zixu did not take Zuo Jingyan to the photo studio. The cameras there were not good at all. He had people quickly build a simple studio in the workshop cabin, and Zuo Jingyan also helped decorate it.
After the studio was set up, Zuo Jingyan gave herself a powerful makeup look, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and flaming red lips. She immediately changed from smart and strong to wild and charming. Lin Zixu was stunned as soon as she appeared.
I feel that she has a stronger aura than those of the world's supermodels, but it's a pity that she is not tall enough, otherwise she would definitely have the potential to be a supermodel.
Lin Zixu excitedly took the camera and kept taking pictures, while Zuo Jingyan posed casually. The photos taken were either charming or wild, trying to show off the characteristics of the clothes.
Lin Zixu couldn't believe that this was her first time as a model. She had such a good sense of camera that she could use it in every photo she took.
By the time Zuo Jingyan finished taking pictures of all the clothes, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Zixu wanted to treat Zuo Jingyan to dinner to thank her for her help.
Zuo Jingyan refused, saying that the store was busy, but Lin Zixu did not force her to drive her back to the store.
Zuo Jingyan got out of the car and waved to Lin Zixu:
"Goodbye Mr. Lin."
