Lin Mai only knew that Sun Guixiang and her daughter fled, but she knew nothing about what happened next.
Discuss with Zhou Caiyun and let her take Li Mingcheng's tractor back to Simei Town tomorrow and go to Grandma Tian to learn how to make shrimp paste and chili sauce.
When Zhou Caiyun learns it, she will open a factory to make chili sauce and various pickles for sale.
As for shrimp paste, she currently has no plans to sell it.
She wants to use shrimp paste as her own secret recipe to give her homemade noodles with fillings a unique flavor.
Lin Mai also specifically told Zhou Caiyun that if any villagers asked, just say that she was sent to take care of Grandma Tian and her grandson.
Don't say that you learned the craft from Grandma Tian, lest some people get jealous and cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhou Caiyun nodded and asked, "I'm going to learn a craft, and it will take at least a month before I can come back. Who will manage the store this month?"
"Wang Xiaoli will take your place temporarily."
Lin Mai had already begun to train Wang Xiaoli, and specifically asked her to work as the deputy store manager at Baohaoshi Noodle Shop next door, just to let her learn management from Zheng Xudong.
Seeing that Zhou Caiyun was thoughtful, she patted her arm and said, "You should learn from Grandma Tian. When you are done, as long as you are capable, maybe I will hand over the management of the kimchi factory to you."
Zhou Caiyun asked: "What if I don't have this ability?"
"Then become a technician and guide you in pickling kimchi and making chili sauce."
Zhou Caiyun widened his eyes and said, "Can a person who makes chili sauce and kimchi become a technician?"
Lin Mai nodded: "Yes, this is also technology!"
After taking the reassurance, Zhou Caiyun packed her luggage with peace of mind so that she could follow Li Mingcheng back to the countryside tomorrow.
After lunch, Lin Mai took a lot of sample clothes to the mall to sell them.
The first place she went to was Jiangcheng Shopping Mall.
First of all, Jiangcheng Shopping Mall is the closest to me, only a few hundred meters away.
Secondly, if Jiangcheng Shopping Mall is willing to sell her clothes, it will be easy to succeed in selling them in other shopping malls in the future.
You know, Jiangcheng Shopping Mall is the leader among major shopping malls in Jiangcheng, and other shopping malls follow it.
Lin Mai arrived at Jiangcheng Mall and went directly to Manager Kong.
In the entire Jiangcheng Mall, the only cadre she knew was Manager Kong.
Although the two of them had some unpleasantness before, Lin Mai later wrote the essay on Jiangcheng Shopping Mall as he requested and corrected it after he made mistakes. The grudge between the two should have been settled.
Even though Lin Mai thought so, she still made two preparations.
If Manager Kong is a vindictive person, then she will use another plan.
All offices in Jiangcheng Shopping Mall are at the back of the mall. No matter which cadre you find, you have to go through the doorman's interrogation.
Lin Mai stood a few meters away, watching how others passed the guard.
The doorman will usually ask visitors if they have an appointment, and he will only let in those who have an appointment.
Lin Mai frowned secretly. It was already the 1980s, and the bureaucracy of state-owned enterprises was still so serious.
He is just a cadre of a shopping mall, not a national official who has many things to do every day. You have to make an appointment to see him!
When a middle-aged man tried to get in but couldn't, and had an argument with the guard, Lin Mai pulled a small cart with sample clothes and walked over.
The guard looked at her and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Look for Manager Kong. I have made an appointment with him to send him a sample of clothes."
The guard glanced at her cart and was about to check the records to see if what she said was true and whether she had made an appointment with Manager Kong.
——Every appointment is recorded in the small notebook in his hand.
The middle-aged man who had been clamoring to go in slapped the record book out of the guard's hand and asked fiercely: "Are you going to let me in or not?"
His behavior completely angered the guard: "I won't let you in!"
The middle-aged man grabbed the guard's collar: "If you don't let me in, be careful I'll beat you up!"
Lin Mai said righteously to the middle-aged man: "It's wrong to hit someone!"
Then he changed his smile and said to the doorman: "Can you let me in first? I'm afraid that Manager Kong will be unhappy if he waits for a long time."
The guard saw Lin Mai speaking for him and was quite fond of her.
In addition, she said she had an appointment and waved her in, while he continued to argue with the middle-aged man.
After Lin Mai pulled the cart and walked in quickly, she poked her head around the door of each office.
When she poked her head at the door of the fifth office, she saw Manager Kong and quickly pulled the cart and walked in.
Manager Kong was reading the newspaper. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Lin Mai was stunned for a moment. Did Manager Kong not recognize her?
Sure enough, noble people tend to forget things.
She was weighing in her mind whether to tell Manager Kong who she was.
If you don't tell him who you are, it might be easier to negotiate a business deal. After all, it's not a holiday.
But if you tell him who you are, if he holds a grudge, it won't be so easy to close the business.
After struggling in his heart, Lin Mai decided to tell the truth.
She is not just doing temporary business with Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, she is very likely to do long-term business.
If you deceive Manager Kong for a while, can you deceive him for the rest of his life?
When it was exposed, it made me look bad and lost credibility.
A businessman loses his credibility and finds himself in dire straits.
Lin Mai introduced himself with a smile: "I am the customer Lin Mai who came to your mall to buy clothes last year and had a conflict because of the bad attitude of the salesperson."
Although something unpleasant had happened, it was not her fault, and she must declare this.
Manager Kong smiled inexplicably: "No wonder I think you look familiar.
It turned out to be Comrade Lin Mai who I asked the newspaper to write an article to save the image of our shopping mall, but it took a long time to write it.
You are very active in complaining, but very procrastinating in helping others establish a good image."
As soon as Lin Mai heard this, he knew that Manager Kong was a vengeful person.
She touched the red envelope in her pocket and was about to take it out to give Manager Kong a thumbs up.
So what if the other party holds a grudge? There is nothing that money cannot fix.
Using red envelopes to open the way is Lin Mai's second plan.
Just listen to Manager Kong ask: "Why did you come to see me?"
Lin Mai took out the red envelope and put it on his desk: "I am now the director of Unique Clothing Factory. I am mainly looking for you to sell our factory's clothes to you."
Manager Kong glanced at the red envelope lightly.
Many people who come to him for help usually give him a red envelope, and he has become accustomed to it.
Therefore, he did not show any greed for Lin Mai's red envelope.
Instead, he looked at Lin Mai with admiration.
It has only been more than half a year, and the girl in front of me seems to have been completely transformed and has become so beautiful.
That’s all, he actually opened a clothing factory!
"Have you brought clothing samples? If so, show them to me." Manager Kong said.
"Bring it, bring it!" Lin Mai quickly took out the clothes from the cart and put them on his desk.
Manager Kong looked at all Lin Mai’s sample clothes.
The style, fabric, and workmanship are all excellent. They are much better than those produced by state-owned garment factories.
If it were sold in a shopping mall, it would definitely sell like crazy.
He wanted it very much, but he couldn't have it.
Jiangcheng Shopping Mall is a state-owned unit and has its own set of rules and regulations.
Within this set of rules and regulations, Manager Kong can make the final decision.
But outside the rules and regulations, he can't do anything.
Manager Kong put down the clothes in his hand: "Although your clothes are good, we only sell clothes from state-owned garment factories. I can't have your clothes."
