Although there is a furry bear secretly watching Lin Bei.
But when Lin Bei and Wu Xiaoyu were plotting against Lin Mai, he was leaving Jiangcheng and going to the countryside to inquire about Cao Da's whereabouts, so he didn't know the plan of the viper and scorpion couple.
If Mao Xiong didn't know, it was even less likely that Lin Mai would know.
She was very busy during these days. Her pantyhose business was gaining ground step by step, and she also made a lot of quick money in small and medium-sized cities in the north and south.
When other manufacturers followed suit and went to small and medium-sized cities in the north and south to sell pantyhose, she had already made a lot of money and gained popularity.
The more manufacturers selling pantyhose, the greater the competition.
Linmai's Jiamei pantyhose sell for five yuan a piece, but other brands of pantyhose only sell for three yuan, causing the sales of Jiamei pantyhose to plummet.
General Manager Sun suggested that Lin Mai also reduce the price to three yuan a piece, but she rejected it.
Rather than fighting a price war, Linmai prefers to work hard on product branding and quality, and take the mid-to-high-end route.
She settled an account with General Manager Sun.
Although the low prices of other brands of pantyhose hit the market, the sales of Jiamei pantyhose dropped sharply.
But the profits generated by the current sales are still considerable, because there are profits generated by brand benefits.
If the price is reduced, the profit reduction rate will be too large, and the profit generated by small profits but quick turnover will not be more than before the price reduction.
Then why bother cutting prices and turning a good mid-to-high-end brand into a mass brand?
It takes a lot of effort to transform a brand from mass to high-end, but it is very easy to transform it from high-end to mass.
General Manager Sun had no objection.
Lin Mai was walking on the street wearing black pantyhose, which many women in this era were not very accepting of. Seeing that the streets were almost full of fashionable women wearing flesh-colored pantyhose, she felt somewhat emotional.
I think back then, not long after she was reborn, stockings were only sold in friendship stores dedicated to foreign friends. The price was very expensive, five yuan a pair.
In that era, wages were far lower than they are now.
Wages have risen rapidly in recent years, and five yuan today is far less valuable than it was in 1982.
However, because stockings are no longer a luxury item, even the newly launched pantyhose in mainland China can only sell for five yuan, and there is no longer the huge profit she made selling stockings in the past.
It can only be said that the times are developing too fast.
After grabbing the first wave of quick money, Lin Mai handed over the pantyhose business to General Manager Sun. She took a breather first.
She is also studying and busy with her career, so she will be tired, right?
However, before Lin Mai could take a deep breath, the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival Organizing Committee suddenly sent an invitation letter to Jinxiu Clothing.
The organizing committee of the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival hopes that Tao Zhiyun, the chief designer of Jinxiu Clothing, will bring his works to participate in their fashion festival.
On the day he received the invitation, Lin Mai was extremely happy.
She never expected that the Jinxiu Cup Model Contest she organized would attract the attention of the Hong Kong fashion industry and even send her an invitation letter.
This is a good opportunity for Jinxiu Clothing to go abroad.
After all, Hong Kong is an international metropolis that attracts worldwide attention.
When Jinxiu Clothing appears on the big stage in this metropolis, it will get more attention from the overseas fashion industry.
It would be better if Tao Zhiyun won an award at the Hong Kong Fashion Festival.
With her popularity, she can enhance the quality of Jinxiu's clothing.
The Hong Kong International Fashion Festival will be held on May 5th at Hung Kan Stadium.
It is now late April, and there is not much time left for Tao Zhiyun.
Although you can bring Tao Zhiyun’s previous works to the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival.
However, in May, summer has already entered in many southern cities, and Hong Kong, which has not yet returned to China, has naturally entered summer eight hundred years earlier.
Lin Mai wants to seize this opportunity and launch new summer clothes.
Maybe there is a dealer in Hong Kong who sees a good style and places an order with her. Wouldn't this open up the international market?
If you bring spring and autumn clothes to the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival, no matter how good the style of the clothes is, no dealer will place an order.
This is what the clothing industry is like, embracing the new and discarding the old.
Even if it is clothing from the season that has just passed, no dealer will give it a second look.
Tao Zhiyun was under great pressure to design dozens of summer outfits in such a short period of time.
In order to provide her with inspiration, Lin Mai directly drew pictures and faxed her several summer fashion styles from the Kimchi Country and the Island Country in later generations.
Although Lin Mai doesn't like these two countries very much.
Needless to say, the island country has invaded China before.
Although they surrendered, there was nothing they could do about it, but they themselves never really acknowledged the crimes they committed.
As long as it is the culture of the Chinese nation, Kimchi Country will not let go of anything, steal everything, and everything is created by them.
Naturally, Lin Mai couldn't develop a good impression of this country.
But the clothes designed by these two countries are really good-looking. In his previous life, Lin Mai liked to buy women's clothes from these two countries.
In this life, it’s a good idea to copy the costumes of these two countries.
Go their way and leave them with nowhere to go.
In addition to dealing with the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival, Lin Mai also has to follow up on the bank family community project.
The land Lin Mai bought for the bank family community has a good location, but the only drawback is that there is a village zoned on the land.
Fortunately, the village committee and the villagers are pretty good, and they haven't made things difficult for Lin Mai so far.
The villagers also agreed to pay compensation for demolition at a one-to-one ratio.
The contract signed between Lin Mai and the bank was to have the house built next year, that is, on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1985.
The bank can allocate houses to employees before the end of the year so that they can have a happy Spring Festival.
It's almost May now, and next year's Spring Festival is on February 20th, so there are only nine months left.
In order to complete this project as early as possible while ensuring quality, a large number of migrant workers are needed.
Jiao Yingjun originally planned to recruit two or three large local contractors, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
So word spread that at least six big contractors would be hired.
As soon as the news spread, many contractors came to recommend themselves.
Although these contractors are called local contractors by Jiao Yingjun, they are actually from outside the city and are just stationed in the capital to receive projects.
Although Jiao Yingjun was there to check it, Lin Mai still took the time to visit the application site.
I saw many familiar faces there, and many of the contractors were the same contractors that Lin Mai had seen at the bank bidding venue.
Those contractors thought that Lin Mai was here to compete with them for business. No one cared for her, no one cared about her as a little girl, and they ostracized her.
When Lin Mai and Jiao Yingjun sat on the rostrum together, the contractors learned that she was the boss of Wantong Real Estate, and they were all dumbfounded.
My whole intestines were filled with regret, I shouldn't have excluded her just now.
Even though the foremans of those leather goods companies don’t even have a serious small team.
But when they applied for jobs, they all talked extravagantly about how many people they had on their team.
What major projects have they worked on? Every migrant worker has rich experience. Lin Mai almost believed it.
Lin Mai did not intervene in the recruitment, nor did he remind Jiao Yingjun that he was just a mouth-watering company contractor. He just sat aside and watched him recruit.
