As soon as Lin Mai arrived at eight o'clock, he went to the Unique Garment Factory to listen to the reports of each person in charge on the week's work.
Chen Feng and others have already arrived and are all sitting in the conference room.
I don’t know if it’s because Chen Feng has such a domineering aura that people dare not approach him, but there is no one around him.
But the feeling is not loneliness, but an aloofness like an emperor.
Wang Xiaoli and others sat next to each other and chatted happily.
As soon as Lin Mai entered the conference room, everyone greeted her.
There was no clerk. Before the meeting, Ren Baozhu came as a clerk, made tea for Chen Feng and others, and handed it to them one cup at a time.
Everyone else took the tea well, except Tao Zhiyun, who did not hold the tea properly and the tea spilled all over her.
Ren Baozhu asked: "Why have you been absent-minded all this time?"
"No... no way!" Tao Zhiyun looked a little flustered and glanced at Lin Mai secretly.
Seeing that she didn't pay attention to him, he felt a little relieved.
Lin Mai waited for Ren Baozhu to sit down and then started the meeting.
First of all, let me ask Ren Baozhu about the sales situation of Unico clothing and Lily headwear these days.
Ren Baozhu said: "Because the price of our Unico clothing is lower than that of Ximan clothing.
Therefore, in terms of sales, it is always suppressing Ximan Clothing, and sales are still booming."
Lin Mai nodded, took the sales report from Ren Baozhu and read it.
Ren Baozhu then reported: "Although Lily Headwear has recruited workers once, the current situation is still in short supply.
I think it is necessary to expand production.
Not only do we need to increase the number of employees, we also need to run the factory in a serious manner, and we can no longer sit in those two workshops."
Lily Headdress has developed so well, which is completely beyond Lin Mai's expectation.
She mentally analyzed the reasons why Lily headwear was selling well.
It should be because there were too few types of headwear in this era and they were too single.
A headdress as beautiful as the Lily Headdress is not only rare in Jiangcheng, but also rare in the country.
In this era, women's desire for beauty has been suppressed for a long time. Now that the restraint is loosened, it will naturally lead to revenge consumption.
Lin Mai nodded: "We will discuss the issue of expanding the Lily headdress in detail after the meeting."
She was afraid that Chen Feng would need to be in charge at the construction site and let him speak second.
After Chen Fengyan briefly and comprehensively explained the situation at the construction site and the progress of the project, Lin Mai let him go first.
The third speaker was Zheng Xudong.
Zheng Xudong reported on the sales status of Baohaochi Noodle Shop, as well as the process of purchasing Baohaochi, Younice branch and the urban village house that Lin Mai wanted.
Bao Haochi and Unico Zheng Xudong each bought six branches.
There are six branches of Baohaoshi, two in Hankou, Wuchang, and one in Hanyang, Qingshan.
There are three Unico branches in Wuchang and Hankou.
In this era, the economy of Qingshan and Hanyang was not good, but the food and clothing sales were okay, especially high-end clothing. The consumption power of the two districts could not keep up.
Moreover, residents of these two districts like to go shopping in Hankou during holidays. Otherwise, they go to Wuchang for shopping, but not many people shop locally.
The main reason is that these two areas are not commercial areas, there are not even shopping malls, there are very few self-employed people doing clothing business, and there is nothing to visit.
Hankou is different. One Hanzheng Street is enough for them to visit for a day.
Although there is no Hanzheng Street in Wuchang, there are many scenic spots.
Yellow Crane Tower, East Lake, museums... are all concentrated in Wuchang.
Moreover, Wuchang is a good place for holidays because of its blend of business and culture.
You can not only enjoy the major attractions, but also shop.
Therefore, it is wise for Zheng Xudong not to open Unico clothing chain stores in Hanyang and Qingshan at present.
Lin Mai saw that he had never mentioned the purchase of the Hanzheng Street facade and the Human World Fireworks flagship store, and asked: "Do you have any clues about the 'Human Fireworks' flagship store and the Hanzheng Street facade you want to buy?"
Zheng Xudong shook his head: "The facade of Hanzheng Street is completely unremarkable.
The ‘Human Fireworks’ flagship store does have a suitable facade, but the price has not been agreed upon.”
Lin Mai had expected that the storefront on Hanzheng Street would be difficult to buy, so he didn't mind.
Just ask Zheng Xudong about the specific location of the ‘Human Fireworks’ flagship store he has chosen.
Zheng Xudong said: "It's about a hundred meters away from Liuduqiao Shopping Mall."
Lin Mai asked: "How big is that store? How much does the landlord want? How much did you pay, so the price couldn't be negotiated?"
Zheng Xudong made a gesture: "The store has two floors. The first floor is about 120 square meters, so the total is 240 square meters.
The landlord wants eight thousand yuan.
I think that house is worth at most six thousand, no more."
He explained: "Although the area near Liuduqiao Shopping Mall is also a prime location, it is still a little inferior to our Jiefang Road location.
Mr. Lin's house on Jiefang Road only cost about 10,000 yuan, and the house near Liudu Bridge is only worth 6,000 yuan."
Lin Mai nodded: "Your analysis makes sense, but you didn't take it into consideration.
When I bought the small bungalow on Jiefang Road, there were not many self-employed people in this entire area, except for Jianghan Road.
But now in this entire area, everyone with a decent reputation is self-employed.
As a result, the storefronts that had been barely paid attention to in the past have experienced an upsurge. The rent has quadrupled from the previous two months, and the selling price of the storehouses has naturally increased accordingly.
It is reasonable for the landlord to charge such a high price."
Zheng Xudong was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I increase the price to 7,000 yuan and buy it?"
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay, try to buy it as soon as possible, I'm afraid the price of the front-end house will increase."
Zhao Liang spoke last.
He happily told Lin Mai.
Following her instructions, he asked the salesman in Guangzhou to contact Kong Lingxiang.
Kong Lingxiang received a big red envelope of 100 yuan, and not only enthusiastically handled the shipment of various dried seafood and local fruits for them.
He also helped them contact local trucks to transport all kinds of dried seafood and fruits bought from farmers from the village to the train station, which saved the salesman a lot of work.
Zhao Liang said happily: "In the past, when we sent our own trucks to transport seafood, dry goods and fruits along the coast, we not only had to be nervous along the way, but also spent a lot of money on gas for the round trip.
Now I can apply for train consignment, which saves a lot of gas money, and I don’t have to worry about it. It’s really a good deal to give Director Kong a red envelope of 100 yuan!”
Lin Mai praised: "Well done! In the future, when purchasing agricultural products in other places, you can also use the red envelopes to clear the way and handle the train consignment."
Although using red envelopes to clear the way is considered bribery, there is nothing you can do about it.
In this era, the country's transportation capabilities are too weak.
There are only so many train shipping resources.
If you don’t use red envelopes to clear the way, why should the cadres in charge of train consignment handle consignment for you?
When transportation develops in the future, everything will be fine.
Zhao Liang nodded and asked: "We still have a lot of foreign wine in the warehouse. Do you want to sell some during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day?"
Lin Mai remembered that Chen Feng planned to sell the red wine to the bad guys he knew years ago.
I don't know if he has reached a verbal agreement with those gangsters.
If a verbal agreement has been reached, but Zhao Liang makes his own decisions and sells the foreign wine, wouldn't Chen Feng want to break the contract with others?
Although what was broken was a verbal agreement and would not cause financial losses, it would bring a crisis of integrity to Chen Feng.
Lin Mai said to Zhao Liang: "Don't sell that red wine yet. I will go to the construction site to visit Mr. Zheng later. I will wait until I ask Mr. Chen."
