Chapter 380

"China's most fashionable city"!

The demon city has been wearing this beautiful hat and spanning two centuries.

Once upon a time, when people from other places came to the Demon City, they always had to buy a few clothes to take them back. Any "cloths brought by the Demon City" mean fashion and high quality. Demon has the best tailor. At that time, they were not popular to talk about "design" at that time, but when a piece of clothing was hung, people who were particular about it could point out at a glance that this was a product in the Demon City.

The textile industry was in the Magic City, and it has been a pillar industry for cities in different eras. But in the 1990s, the halo of the textile industry began to be slowly removed.

In the early 1990s, the textile industry in Magic City entered a serious bottleneck period. The once brilliant and advanced machines and technologies have become outdated and backward. Capital investment cannot be recovered, and losses - additional investment - and losses are difficult to overcome. The large number of textile workers and more retired workers' wages and benefits are all borne by the factory themselves, and the factories are overwhelmed. The situation at that time was: the textile industry has a serious surplus of labor, and the workers are satisfied with the comfortable life under the planned economy, and they have become a little "unprofitable". The term "iron rice bowl" is enough to prove that people's ideological and conceptual lags in capital, and lack of talents. These state-owned enterprises that lag behind in reforms have suffered losses for years and cannot continue to operate.

The once gloriousness of the Modu textile industry allowed it to occupy most of the land in the Modu city area. The textile factory covers a large area, but the value brought by unit land is very small. The river pollution caused by textile industry production is also very serious. In order to protect the environment, the Modu city government stipulates that no factories will be built within the inner ring line of the Modu city, and ordered the rectification of the severely polluted Suzhou River.

At this time, China was about to join the WTO, and the Magic City textile industry began to face pressure from the international market. The labor-intensive textile industry obviously did not have an advantage in this competition. After the initial failure of additional investment, the textile industry began to reduce employees, stop production, and then sell land, and finally close the factory and close down.

The reform of cities requires new clothes and a beautiful environment that suits the international city. High-rise buildings and prosperous business districts all require land. At that time, the government also proposed "close, stop, and transfer" to the textile industry.

The shock caused by a giant falling slowly was huge. In the 1980s, the magic had a large number of people engaged in the textile industry, especially Zhabei District and Minhang District as typical, and almost one-third of them worked in the textile industry. They were a generation that experienced social turmoil, with old people and young people, and no other survival skills. They were suddenly exiled and "forced" to enter the market economy. They were afraid, confused, and at a loss.

The 550,000 laid-off workers have put tremendous pressure on the Demon City.

Chen Hongmian, the director of the textile factory, has reached the point of desperate situation. In order to survive thousands of workers, she put down her face and came to Qin's mansion again and again, wanting to see Mr. Qin. However, she was told: Mr. Qin has gone far away and it will take at least several years to come back.

What received her was the legendary Song Xianxue Xiangwan, a woman who was extremely beautiful.

Yan Xue said bluntly: "The Qin family is willing to invest in the transformation of textile factories, upgrade them comprehensively, and control pollution, but the premise is 100% holding. As long as you can understand this relationship, you are welcome to come again at any time."

Chen Hongmian was helpless and communicated with her superiors again and again. Until 1995, many textile factories went bankrupt and she finally got through all the processes.

So Yan Xue took over the textile factory and renamed it "Mingzhou Home Textiles", investing 100 million US dollars, introducing new managers, upgrading them in a comprehensive manner, abandoning ordinary cotton textiles, focusing on high-end fabrics and bedding.

After the renovation, the textile factory suddenly came to life! Not only can the workers' wages be paid at full amount, but there is also a bonus every month, sometimes even exceeding the wages.

Chen Hongmian stepped down from the position of factory director and became the deputy director in charge of sales. Seeing that the high-end fabric produced in the factory was in short supply, he couldn't help but sigh when he was having dinner at home: "The Qin family has too deep background! A singing woman can pull such a large enterprise up! Thousands of workers were originally in trouble, but she solved this matter with one move! Is the Qin family really a little trick to turn stones into gold?"

Her husband Zhang Hengheng is also a middle-level cadre in the Magic City. He sneered: "Who made the Qin family rich? He invested 100 million US dollars at the beginning, and a dead horse can become a living horse! You think, when will the Qin family invest so much money? Maybe it will be a loss from beginning to end!"

Chen Hongmian said: "The factory has made money, and it made more than two million last month."

"Hmph, the capital injection of 100 million US dollars is equivalent to 880 million yuan. If you put it in the bank for 8% interest, you will also make a profit of 70 million yuan every year, and it will be 6 million yuan per month. Do you think this is a loss-making transaction?"

"This...can't be calculated like this... the factory has just completed the renovation, and its profits will gradually increase..."

Chen Hongmian didn't know that after ten years of operation, the factory has become a leader in the textile industry again, and the Qin family did not suffer any losses in the white horse of A-share listed companies. Not to mention anything else, the land alone is worth billions.

Although the Qin family has no intention of speculating on the land, they do not want to be surrenders.

Yan Xue is also a talented student who graduated from the Business School of Fudan University. She has experienced many ups and downs and is not just a "singing woman". If she is willing to make money, she can disrupt the business world of the Magic City.

She followed Qin Di's instructions and was very restrained in the country and rarely showed up in public.

Qin Di's retreat this time lasted for five or six years!

At the end of 1996, he finally advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and appeared in the old house of Qin Mansion.

Since then, he still stayed at home and rarely went out. He often carried a pen, dipped it in bright red cinnabar, and drew it on various papers.

In January 1997, Aunt Huizi died of illness at the age of 113.

This year, Qin Hancheng was 119 years old, Zhu Wan was 117 years old, Qin Hanxu was 115 years old, Qin Di was 97 years old, Qin Ling was 99 years old, and Qin Yue was 93 years old. So many centenarians went to Japan to attend the funeral of Huizi.

After the funeral, Qin Hanxu was silent and did not say a word for several days.

He knew that his life was not much. His second brother Qin Hancheng and his second sister-in-law Zhu Wan also had fewer days.

Qin Ling and Qin Yue also thought so. Looking at their white-haired parents, thinking about what Qin Di said before, 120 years old is a threshold, and most people will be blocked.

Qin Hancheng looked at Qin Di, sighed, and asked, "A Di, how long can I live?"

Qin Di shook his head: "I don't know. There is a chance in front of me. I want to give it a try. It's hard to say whether it can succeed."
