The boss called to hand over the task. Li Yan turned on the speakerphone and answered the call with Yu Nana.

"A customer in the Northeast wants to order from our company. You design ten sample clothes in ten days. Each sample will be made in two colors. Prepare and send it to him. He will select a few styles and then order a large quantity."

"Mr. Zhang, does the customer have a design concept?" Li Yan asked.

"No, you design it according to your own ideas." The boss said and hung up the phone.

"This is too difficult. The customer doesn't provide any ideas." Li Yan frowned.

"Then I will completely let go of my own design!" Yu Nana was quite happy.

"What do you think?"

"Hehe, I like bright colors, semi-large styles, upper knee length, skirt style, and I'm going to develop this series."

"Your design concept is a bit adventurous. My idea is dark metal wire fabric, long style, and big fur collar." Li Yan said.

"Brother Li Yan, you are old! That design is too depressing." Yu Nana's eyebrows were filled with disdain.

"The bright colors you like are not suitable for winter. Wouldn't it look good to wear a big yellow and green down jacket when it snows?" Li Yan asked.

Sample worker Fan Wenkai spoke: "Designer Yu, does the green down jacket have a hood?"

Yu Nana retorted: "A green down jacket with a cuckold, I'll let you try it on first!"

“Aren’t all the products we make women’s models?”

"It's a women's model. Your wife Han Shuyi is trying on green clothes, and you are trying on a cuckold!"

Han Shuyi snickered, and Fan Wenkai grinned and stopped talking.

"Brother Li Yan, you let me operate independently this time. Besides, I was selected through many layers of selection."

Li Yan smiled: "Okay, I'll use your idea and design this time. If it doesn't work, then use my idea."

"Then you shouldn't have a chance." Yu Nana was very confident, sitting in front of the computer and moving the mouse to start working.

After a while, the printer buzzed and two pictures came out.

"Go buy the fabric and buttons. The fabric is the color of the picture." Designer Yu directed.

"Okay! It's creative. The buttons are in the shape of apples. Are they available for sale?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, I don't think we have two-centimeter-thick apple buckles. We have to order them."

The reason why many manufacturers open studios in Xiacheng is that there are a wide range of auxiliary materials and all kinds of fabrics. Even if they are not available, 3D printing can be done immediately. It is a little more expensive, but it is fast and efficient. Once the sample is chosen by the customer

, when mass production occurs, costs will come down.

It only took Li Yan half a day to purchase the required fabrics and buttons.

Yu Nana has already designed a style and will start cutting and sewing it immediately.

The sample workers Fan Wenkai and Han Shuyi are skilled in their skills. The machine is running at high speed. The down lining is made first, and then the fabric pieces are attached to it and threaded. Then they sew the zippers and sleeves on the pockets, and then make the lining and combine it with the fabric.

Together, and finally turn it over, the entire down jacket is ready.

Li Yan stipulated that before turning over, you must carefully check whether the scissors, tweezers, and pencils are forgotten inside, otherwise it will make a joke or even cause an accident.

This task was to make ten styles in ten days, and the small team completed it all in just seven days. Li Yan packed up the sample clothes and sent them to Northeast China, waiting for customer news.

"Old Feng is having a treat today. He wants to show his kindness as a landlord. Will you go?" Li Yan asked.

"Let's go, just in time to see what kind of clothes his factory makes." Yu Nana said.

The two took a taxi to Lao Feng's factory. Lao Feng came out wearing an apron to greet him: "Long time no see, Li Yan!"

"Now that you've become a big boss, why don't you still work in the workshop?"

"Every big boss is a worker. Hey, come and sit in my office."

"No, let's take a look at your workshop first," Li Yan said and walked towards the workshop: "Can I just visit it?"

"Look at it as you like, I'm no better than a big company," Old Feng smiled and said, "There are no secrets."

There are twenty machines in the workshop. Like Xianqi Company, they also make down jackets, but the scale is smaller and the quality seems to be worse. Yu Nana looked at the hanging clothes and couldn't help but shake her head.

Lao Feng continued to work on buttons in the workshop: "My wife is cooking in the kitchen, and we will go over to eat in a while."

"There's no rush," Li Yan said politely: "You draw the position and I'll do the buttoning."

"No matter where you draw it, I will nail it directly!"

"Ah? Is it so casual?"

"Small factories are not so rigorous, it's just fine." Lao Feng asked Li Yan and Yu Nana to find chairs and sit down.

"When you first started your business, where did you find customers?" Li Yan was curious about why some people were workers last year but became bosses this year.

"Why, do you have an idea to start a business?" Lao Feng asked with a smile.

"Not yet, I just want to familiarize myself with the steps of starting a business."

"After nailing, let's go eat." Old Feng took off his apron.

While eating in the office, Mrs. Feng had already cooked the dishes and set a large table. Old Feng started pouring wine.

"Is there any beer? I drink beer." Yu Nana said.

"Yes." Mrs. Feng took out the beer from under the wine cabinet.

"Hehe, have fun drinking beer." Yu Nana picked it up and drank a glass of it herself.

"It's refreshing!" Lao Feng exclaimed: "The designer is a refreshing person. When you have time, can you help me design two down jackets?"

"Can!"

Li Yan smiled, this girl is really cheerful, you know it violates the principles? But Lao Feng is his friend, so he can't object.

"Brother Feng, I just asked you and you haven't answered yet? Where did you find the customer?" Li Yan asked again.

"I found it online and asked door-to-door if I wanted it. It's very simple. As long as your product is cheap enough, those who open online stores will buy it from you."

Old Feng paused and then said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, be thick-skinned, take the initiative, survive the first year, and everything will be fine in the second year."

"That's it!" Li Yan didn't know much about business and hoped to gain some experience by consulting Lao Feng.

Li Yan and Yu Nana finished their meal and were ready to go back.

"Shall I drive you two?" Mrs. Feng didn't drink.

"Thank you, Mrs. Feng, no, let's take a look around Xiacheng."

The night view of Xiacheng is very beautiful. Small lights of various colors are hung on the trees on the roadside, moving and flashing, making them colorful.

Yu Nana walked very fast, like a race walk, and Li Yan followed behind, a little out of breath.

"Slow down, why are you running so fast?"

"No, I am born with a short temper and can't walk." Yu Nana explained.

At this time, I suddenly heard a noise in front of me. I looked around and saw three boys chasing a girl.

The situation was urgent, and Yu Nana moved quickly. She stepped up and kicked the kid at the front down.

Unexpectedly, the girl actually yelled at Nana: "Shameless, why did you hit my boyfriend?"

Yu Nana didn't show any weakness. She went up to argue with the girl, but was surrounded by three boys. Yu Nana had no choice but to fight one line, but couldn't beat three of them. In a blink of an eye, she bowed down and ran back to Li Yan.

Three boys and a girl chased after them and blocked the way of the two people.

Li Yan took his time and took out his nunchucks from his backpack, took off his shirt, opened his bow from left to right, and performed a gorgeous dance. Not to mention, he looked a bit like Bruce Lee!
