After entering the shop, Bai Su found that Du Changgeng and Fatty Yuan were also there.
"He Yan, it's very unloyal for you not to take me with you when doing business."
"That's right, last time we were working on study materials together, how could you leave me and Brother Yuan behind?"
Du Changgeng and Fatty Yuan pulled He Yan and accused him one by one of being unloyal.
He Yan looked at Qin Yanyue and Bai Su who walked into the shop, and mouthed: "Look, the major shareholders are here. My mother and Uncle Qin are the largest investors in the knitting machine. Do I need you?"
"I didn't know this thing was so easy to use at first. I thought if I invested too much and it was slow to get back the money, and you were willing to follow me, your wife and family might not be happy."
"How dare I ask you to do something you're not sure about?"
He Yan shrugged helplessly: "Now that you want to invest, Uncle Qin and my mother must agree."
He and He Yan are brothers, so what's there to say?
Du Changgeng and Fatty Yuan really didn't dare to ask Qin Yanyue for a shareholding, especially when the knitting machine saw hope.
Bai Su suddenly realized what they were saying to pester He Yan. She finally understood that Comrade Qin was not in a hurry to supervise her study today, so why did he bring her to Lihua's tailor shop to relax?
She asked He Yan in surprise: "Did you buy the knitting machine?"
"Yes, Mom, I will take you to see it."
Lihua and He Yan's mother disliked the crowd in the utility room and kicked out Du Changgeng and Fatty Yuan who came to watch the excitement.
At this moment, Bai Su and Qin Yan came over. They simply put down their work and took Bai Su to visit the knitting machine.
She watched with her own eyes as Lihua threaded the wool into the knitting machine, started the machine and fiddled with it dexterously, and a small woolen hat was knitted. Osmanthus fragrans and Qian Hongyi, who came with Bai Su, looked at it in amazement.
Bai Su, who was well-informed, did not make a sound similar to "ooh". She was surprised. She thought that the knitting machines these days were very old and heavy, and they knitted sweaters slowly.
Perhaps in her imagination, this knitting machine was only slightly faster than knitting by hand.
But the knitting machine in front of her was not that bulky. Lihua operated the machine skillfully and knitted the woolen hat faster than she imagined.
If the knitting continues at this speed and the four knitting machines are running together, Bai Su can imagine how many woolen hats can be knitted in a day.
Bai Su nodded happily and said to her eldest son-in-law: "This machine is better than I thought. The investment you and I, Uncle Qin, made is worth it. As long as we have enough people, I think we can get back the money in one winter."
"Who says it's not? I thought it was a big machine like a textile factory. The one Sister Du made for me is quite lightweight."
He Yan leaned close to Bai Su and whispered in his ear: "I heard that it was not obtained from regular channels, but imported. Mom, we found a leak this time."
After Bai Su got married, He Yan first went to the provincial capital to find sister Du Changgeng, and then followed the buyer to the sea market.
It can be said that the situation of getting the machine was full of risks. Fortunately, he was smart and had the food factory transportation team's car as cover, so he was able to successfully get the machine back to the county town.
"This machine can not only knit sweaters, but also hats, socks and other small items. When the weather gets warmer, you can use smaller threads to knit. I also learned how to use a knitting machine in Haishi for a day."
Fortunately, He Yan learns things quickly and Lihua is also talented in making clothes, so he can master it with just a few clicks.
After the machine was brought back, the two of them studied it and actually used the knitting machine to knit a sweater and several small items.
So He Yan couldn't wait and went to the county committee to call Qin Yanyue. At that time, Bai Su went to pick up Qian Hongyi and Guihua.
After Comrade Qin witnessed the magic of the knitting machine, he ignored Bai Su's studies and ran to the county party committee compound to bring him to Lihua's tailor shop.
"I think the stitching of this hat is very fine, and it's a bit too monotonous. We can hook a small woolen flower on the hat."
Bai Su asked He Yan to get a pen and paper, sketch on the paper, and draw a picture of a small flower on the hat: "How about this?"
"Good-looking, good-looking!"
Encouraged by her sister Liu and Lihua, Bai Su continued to sketch on paper and drew a pattern of small animals on the hat.
Pear Blossom, who is skillful with her hands, quickly took the needle and thread to follow the pattern drawn by Bai Su, and drew a small flower and a cat in three strokes.
Placing small flowers and kittens on the knitted hat is like the finishing touch. The originally plain woolen hat looks much more lively, and it makes people want to buy it just by looking at it.
Fatty Yuan, who often went to the black market to do business, clapped his hands and applauded: "This is good, it will definitely be easy to sell on the black market."
Of course, He Yan also felt that it was better. Even Comrade Qin showed admiration in his eyes and picked up his hat to look at it.
"This is very good for Xingchen Chenchi to wear, just one for each person."
After being praised and encouraged by everyone, Bai Su continued to work hard and drew several styles of sweaters and hats.
Although He Yan's mother is very good at designing clothes, she really hasn't been able to come up with so many tricks on sweaters.
Because these days sweaters are just enough to keep you warm!
This is also where Bai Su came from. There were too many styles. When buying clothes, I used Moubao a lot, so I memorized the looks of various sweater styles, and drew a few classic and warm ones, which were enough for Lihua and her sister Liu to think about.
As for the trendy ones, Bai Su did not continue painting because he was afraid that customers in small towns would not be able to accept them.
After drawing the sweater style diagram, Bai Su also put forward his own opinions on sales: "These knitting machines are so eye-catching. The efficiency of the knitting machines is so high. The sweaters and hats knitted are only sold in our shop.
Not finished."
"I think Jianguo and Chang Geng failed to invest in the knitting machine business. In terms of sales, we can cooperate with Jianguo and Chang Geng in the sweaters and hats and gloves knitted in our shop."
Both He Yan, Yuan Jianguo and Du Changgeng were very interested in Bai Su's suggestion.
It was a pity that Yuan Jianguo couldn't get involved in the knitting machine, but he could definitely use his connections in the black market to sell the things knitted by He Yan.
As for Du Changgeng, he can still find a solution in the provincial capital.
Anyway, there are not many knitting machines in textile factories in the provincial capital. The provincial capital is a huge market and the supply exceeds the demand.
They have a fanatical passion for making money, and have tasted the benefits several times with He Yan. Bai Su's suggestions are exactly what they want.
After Du Changgeng and Yuan Jianguo heard what Bai Su said, their eyes lit up and they had already taken He Yan outside to discuss.
Comrade Qin felt that his wife's whole body was shining when she was drawing designs for sweaters and hats.
How many surprises does his wife have that he doesn't know about?
Originally, she was worried that Bai Su would not be able to get into a university in the capital, but the trick she showed reminded Comrade Qin of her unusualness.
He had a hunch that Comrade Xiao Su would give him a surprise when it came to the college entrance examination.
