After the two came out of the shop, Xiang Jin asked, "How to go? Up or backward?"
Both of them could understand each other's words. Up meant going to the bank, and backward meant going to the teahouse. Because they were outside and people were passing by from time to time, they both spoke in a very cryptic way.
Yan Chen said, "Let's go up first, there is still some time."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, okay," first go up and make a bottom.
So the two of them went to the bank together first.
When they got there, there was someone in front of an ATM. Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "You go ahead, I'll wait for a while."
Yan Chen nodded, then walked to another idle deposit and withdrawal machine and started checking the accounts.
After about a few minutes, he walked up to Xiang Jin and whispered to her, "It seems that everything has been arranged. Do you want to go and see yours?"
"Okay!" So Xiang Jin went to check the status of her account.
After a while, she walked back and nodded to Yan Chen, "I have to wait a little longer, will you wait for me?"
Yan Chen said, "I have to wait for a while."
Xiang Jin nodded, and the two of them walked towards the two counters that were some distance apart.
After finishing the fixed deposit business, Xiang Jin went to the mailbox not far next door and put in a large stack of manuscripts that were written for different places.
When Yan Chen saw the large stack of envelopes she took out, there were at least thirteen or four envelopes, he couldn't help but frown, then he walked up to her and said, "Don't stay up too late at night in the future.
, it will be too much for your body to bear."
Xiang Jin felt a little embarrassed, "You know?"
Yan Chen said, "I've always known it." Not only did he know it, he also collected a lot of her articles, but he didn't collect them all because so far, he only knew one of her pen names.
Xiang Jin asked, "Then why didn't you ask me?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Since you didn't take the initiative to tell anyone about this matter, it proves that you don't want people to know about it. Why should I ask you?"
Xiang Jin laughed and said, "There's no way, I can only make some money through this at the moment."
In this era, there is no Internet, no computers, mobile phones, etc., and she is at such an age and social background. Even if she has many ideas, it is difficult to realize them all at once.
Yan Chen said, "I know!"
After that, the two of them tacitly agreed not to continue this topic, but turned around and walked towards the teahouse together.
When they got there, Manager Huang and Manager Xiao had already arrived. They walked over and took their seats. After a few brief greetings, they got to the point directly.
Xiang Jin first showed them the drawing of the summer school uniform upgrade. While showing it to them, Xiang Jin also explained to them, "We have designed two styles of summer school uniforms for you.
There is no difference in the tops. They are all mainly white shirts. The difference lies in the bottoms, one longer and one shorter.
Like this, boys' trousers are paired with girls' mid-calf skirts, and boys' shorts are paired with girls' culottes of almost the same length."
"Wait a minute, what are these culottes?" Xiang Jin had just started to speak, but before she could speak for a long time, Manager Xiao suddenly interrupted her.
Xiang Jin said, "The so-called culottes actually look like a skirt, but are actually trousers inside."
"Oh, this is quite novel, isn't it?" Manager Huang's eyes suddenly lit up and he became interested.
Xiang Jin continued, "The reason for such a combination is that it is based on different time points. For example, in early summer, when it is a little hot but not very hot, students can wear longer clothes.
or dress;
At the beginning of summer, students can wear shorter trousers and skirts, and this combination will visually give people a neat and orderly feeling, rather than giving people a messy feeling.
Moreover, such people have to wear longer clothes, such as trousers and long skirts, which can be worn directly from April or May to September or October, with a span of almost half a year in between, allowing parents to
I feel that buying these two sets of clothes is still worth the money, not only to ensure that they can be worn when the weather is a little colder, but also to ensure that they can be worn when there are many people.”
Manager Huang and Manager Xiao both nodded after listening to her words.
Xiang Jin continued to explain and introduce to them, "Why do girls choose this culottes design instead of directly choosing shorts or their girls' skirts like boys? We considered two factors.
One is the consideration of safety when going out. For example, when girls have physical education classes or some extracurricular activities in the summer, they will inevitably have to squat. You know this, so I won’t explain it further.
The other one is from the aspect of beauty and fashion. Everyone has the so-called love of beauty. Like me, I am a girl. I know the psychology of girls. In fact, they are also very ugly.
For example, they often buy a small bracelet to wear on their hands, and then often change it to some beautiful headbands. If you think that skirts or pants are more popular and accepted by girls, then that’s for sure.
It’s a skirt.”
The two laughed heartily, and then Manager Huang teased her, "So, you are also very stinky?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, I'm a girl too, so naturally I'm pretty." Then she changed the topic, "Of course, we've also considered it based on your actual materials and production costs.
For the layer of shorts, you can just use the kind of chemical and synthetic fiber fabric that is very thin, not see-through, and very soft."
Then Manager Xiao asked again, "Can we not use this plaid fabric but use other colored fabrics?"
Xiang Jin said, "We have considered this, but in the end we thought it would be better to use plaid fabric because the styles of plaid fabric are diverse. For example, it can be rough, soft, fresh, and more breathable.
cool.
For example, when students wear plaid clothes, they will have a youthful and playful feel, and the plaid fabric will not give people a visually monotonous or gaudy feeling."
Manager Huang looked at her and Yan Chen with approval and nodded, "Well, I think their design is good. They have considered all aspects, not much, but very thoughtful and creative."
Manager Xiao nodded his head in agreement.
Then Manager Huang winked at Manager Xiao, and then Manager Xiao took out two envelopes from his bag and handed them to Xiang Jin and Yan Chen. "This is what I agreed with you before.
, we have already arranged all the payment for you. This is the payment receipt. You can check it when the time comes."
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded, and then Xiang Jin took out the drawings of spring and summer clothes they designed and handed them to them. Similarly, while they were looking at them, they also gave them
They gave an explanation.
"Like this summer skirt, we not only want to show its youthfulness, beauty and fashion, but also highlight its nobility and elegance, so we used stripes and multi-color small leather belts to match it. From a color perspective, this
The colors will not appear too bright and visually tiring, but will give people a fresh feeling."
Then Manager Xiao said, "It also needs to be matched with a small leather belt. Will the cost increase?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm not asking you to wear it with real leather. Isn't there that kind of PU artificial leather now? You can just match it with that. You can also make a batch of real leather belts. If anyone wants to buy it, you can
It can also be sold in bundles, and you can make some money by selling it."
Then Manager Huang said, "Hey, you little girl, how come you have such a flexible mind? I think this is the way to go. That skirt can be matched directly with a PU leather belt. If others say that they are afraid that the PU leather belt will not last, then we will
Recommend genuine leather belts to them and ask them to buy a genuine leather belt. Even if they are willing to buy a nice-looking skirt, there is no reason why they should be reluctant to buy a belt."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Exactly."
Manager Xiao looked at her and joked, "Girl Xiang, I think if you go into business, you must be a profiteer."
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at him angrily, "What? If I go into business, I must be a serious and qualified businessman, honest and honest!"
Then Manager Xiao curled his lips and said, "It would be weird to believe you!"
Xiang Jin said, "Hey, don't believe me. You say I am a profiteer. Then tell me, when did we fail to serve you attentively and deceive you?"
Manager Xiao was immediately speechless, "This is right?!"
Xiang Jin said, "That's right. You should say that I have business acumen."
Then Manager Xiao hurriedly said casually, "Yes, yes, I just used the wrong words. Little girl, don't care about me. I am just a rough guy. You are not as educated as you."
Haha, he is very flexible! No wonder he can reach the position of manager?!
Xiang Jin waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I was kidding you too."
Everyone then continued to look at the drawings, and the final results were all very satisfying to them. From the beginning to the end, the smile on Manager Huang's face never fell.
In the end, the agreement was naturally transferred smoothly, and then the two of them looked at the time and stood up to leave.
Then Manager Huang stood up and said, "Why, are you leaving now? I even asked you two to have a meal together."
Yan Chen said, "Thank you, but no need, we have other things to do."
Manager Huang thought they were trying to avoid it, and then he looked at Xiang Jin, who nodded to him and said, "It's really something. I made an appointment with someone before."
"Why, you also made an appointment with someone else for artwork?" Manager Huang followed and asked.
Xiang Jin laughed, "That's not true. Do you think we really think about this matter every day just to make money without studying?"
As soon as she said this, Manager Huang felt a little embarrassed. Xiang Jin explained to them, "We are students, and we focus on academic work. We made an agreement with the meat seller in the vegetable market.
I bought a few kilograms of meat and bones there and I need to pick them up, but they are waiting to go home."
"Oh, that's it." Manager Huang felt relieved. He was worried that they were still in contact with any clothing factory in the county. Suddenly he thought of something, so he asked, "
Oh, by the way, are you interested in joining our factory and becoming a full-time designer in our factory? I will pay you a salary, and at the same time, if you publish a manuscript, I will still pay you the manuscript fee and buy the copyright transfer?"
The two of them shook their heads without thinking, and Yan Chen refused directly, "No interest, we are mainly focusing on academic work now! If you still need design drawings in the future, you can contact us, but our design drawings will not be released later.
There won’t be a lot of money because we have to prepare for the high school entrance examination. If you need it, you can come to us during the winter or summer vacation.”
Manager Huang and Manager Xiao nodded, "Okay!" Then Manager Huang added, "If you come to the county town, give me a call then, and I'll ask Xiao Xiao and the others to drive to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you!" Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded.
"Definitely?!"
"Well, good!"
Then Xiang Jin and Yan Chen directly put away the two envelopes and left.
As soon as they left, Manager Huang looked at the direction in which the two left and sighed to Manager Xiao beside him, "Oh, it's true that young people produce talents!"
Manager Xiao then looked at the direction Xiang Jin and the others were leaving and echoed his old father, "Yes! These two kids are talented!"
Then Manager Huang said, "No, not only are you talented, but you are also rare in being able to stick to your heart, not be fooled by money, and not too obsessed with money. If you, or I, hear the invitation I just invited
When they join our factory, they will probably agree without even thinking about it. But I have been observing these two children. They don't have the excitement of being invited to make money at all. They behave very calmly and calmly.
Indifferent, is this rare?"
Manager Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!"
Then I heard my boss say again, "Keep in touch with these two children, and you can produce such exquisite and excellent design drawings in just four or five days. It's not easy, it's not simple. You can say they are geniuses."
Not an exaggeration!
And I have a hunch that our clothes will be very popular in the market next year!
Therefore, we have to build a good relationship with them. Whether our factory can reach a new level and make a name for itself in the future may depend on these two kids!"
Seeing his boss explain himself so carefully, Manager Xiao also became cautious.
"yes!"
The two of them, who were praised by Manager Huang and said that they were not fooled by money, were walking on the road. Xiang Jin asked, "Why did you just tell Manager Huang that the manuscripts we will publish in the later period are very limited? If they have manuscripts
If the demand is there, it can only be through winter vacation or summer vacation?" Do they need to prepare for the high school entrance examination? There is no need at all, right?
Such a good opportunity, just because of this boy's words, her financial path was cut off by him.
She originally thought that if the other party had another order later, they would take it. Anyway, she had so many styles of clothes in her mind that any drawing she drew would look very fashionable and beautiful.
She also wants to make more money, and then hoard more land in the provincial capital, and then let it go for a few years or ten, and then she will make a lot of money.
Seeing the resentful little look she cast towards him, Yan Chen couldn't help but laugh, then he put his head to her ear and whispered to her, "Take it easy, you don't even think about how old you are, just
How much money have we made in such a short period of time?
At such a young age, you have such a large amount of wealth in your hands. What do you think in the eyes and hearts of others?
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade! Do you understand?"
Xiang Jin understood immediately, looked at him with wide eyes and said, "I know!"
She is not afraid, but she still has family, which is her weakness. What if someone asks her for the money through her mother or Xiang Lan?
In previous lives, whether in movies, TV shows, or in real life, kidnappings happened from time to time, and there were also cases where the other party would directly reject the person after getting the money.
It seems that she can still write the manuscript safely.
After figuring it out, Xiang Jin no longer struggled, so the two of them went to the vegetable market to find Feng Dabao.
When they went there, Uncle Feng and his wife were no longer there. Only Feng Dabao and his wife were there. There were only two or three pieces of fat meat on the stall, as well as a few big sticks.
Xiang Jin bought the bones and two ribs, and then asked them to chop them up and take them directly to their shop.
Feng Dabao and his wife were immediately very happy. They just calculated the price of the two ribs and the stick bones, and then chopped them for her in two or two strokes.
Xiang Jin carried the bag of bones, and then Feng Dabao asked his wife to look at the shop. He accompanied Xiang Jin and the others to Xinfu Road.
His wife also responded with a smile on her face and said "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
Xinxin Road is two streets behind the vegetable market. Normally, they would arrive quickly by turning around and walking back. However, it was a bit inconvenient for Xiang Jin to carry a bag of bones. What if he put the bag of bones here with them?
, in case this
Feng Dabao and her daughter-in-law quickly sold the pieces of meat. What if they wanted to close the stall and go back? She couldn't go and delay their business, right? So she had to walk a little longer, and then put the pieces of meat away.
The bag of bones was taken back to the shop and placed there.
When they went back, their shop was busy, and her mothers didn't even bother to talk to her. Xiang Jin didn't have time to talk to them, but Yang Xu and Yang Xin were also there. When they saw her, their eyes
Suddenly there was a light up. Yang Xu stood still in a cold manner, but his eyes were filled with excitement. The little guy Yang Xin ran over with a "da da da". Sister Jin was short and long.
The ground screamed.
Xiang Jin handed him the bone bag in his hand, "Take it in for me and keep it there for a while. I'll pick it up later when I get back."
"Oh, okay!" the little guy responded and took the pocket.
Then Xiang Jin and the others turned around and walked quickly towards Xinfu Road. Then Xiang Jin asked Feng Dabao, "If we go now, will others be busy?"
Then Feng Dabao said, "No, if we weren't there today, there wouldn't be anyone around. Don't think there are many people there because you think there are many people elsewhere. Your place is opposite the school, because many students didn't come back over the weekend."
, and there are many students who come to school early on weekends, plus some teachers, that’s why you have so many people.”
"Oh, I'm relieved now."
Several people came to the Xinfu Restaurant on Xinfu Road. The restaurant still retains the old-fashioned architectural features of the past. It is a courtyard-like structure. The two floors in the front are shops, and the back is probably the kitchen and the living room of the boss's family.
The shop was very large, with the bottom floor alone covering perhaps 120 to 30 square meters. Xiang Jin thought to himself that to have a house like this, the owner's ancestors should at least be as rich as they were.
Sure enough, as Feng Dabao said, we were not there today. The boss's business was very light. There were only three or two tables in the hall, and there were less than ten people in total.
At this time, the boss in front of the counter was not there, so Feng Dabao said to the two of them, "I guess he is busy in the backyard right now. You go sit on an empty table next to him for a while, and I will go and get the boss."
Call it out."
Xiang Jin nodded to Yan Chen, and then walked directly to an empty table not far away.
Not long after they sat down, they saw Feng Dabao leading a middle-aged man in his forties over.
As soon as they arrived, Feng Dabao introduced them to both of them, "This is Boss Zhou of this Xinfu Restaurant. These are the two children I mentioned to you in the morning. His name is Yan Chen and her name is Xiang Jin."
.”
Then the two parties greeted each other, and the boss invited them to sit down that week, and the two did as he was told.
After everyone sat down, Feng Dabao said again, "Cousin, even though they are still young, they are still children, but they have very strict rules for doing things, and they follow the rules for everything at home.
He has the right to make decisions."
That week the boss nodded, "Oh, I don't dare to underestimate you, I don't dare to underestimate you!"
Xiang Jin said modestly, "Brother Feng, you are overly complimentary."
Then Feng Dabao said, "Tell the truth, tell the truth!"
Xiang Jin and the others didn't want to keep complimenting each other like this, so they said, "Listening to your conversation just now, Boss Zhou and Brother Feng, your two families are still relatives?"
That week the boss explained, "That's right, Dabao's wife is my cousin's daughter, and he is my cousin's son-in-law."
"Oh, that's it?!" Xiang Jin and the others understood.
Then Boss Zhou said again, "In the morning, when Dabao came to deliver meat to me, I mentioned your matter to me. I just want to ask, are you sure you can provide me with fresh vegetables in winter? And it's still the same.
We don’t have it here? If that’s the case, I can order it from you.”
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then said, "Sure! In about half a month, those vegetables will be ready for picking. Then I will also ask our family to provide you with a sample dish to try?"
That week, the boss nodded, "That's a good idea. I'll give you an approximate dosage here.
In our town, there are not many people on leisure days, but on local days, the upper and lower floors here are usually full, and sometimes there is a queue. The amount of food for that day
Calculated, it is about two hundred kilograms. If you add in the vegetable consumption of several other surrounding towns and villages, you need about four hundred kilograms of vegetables a day."
Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and then Yan Chen said, "We can completely satisfy this quantity. It's just that we don't have enough manpower there, so you need to come and pick it yourself."
Boss Zhou nodded and said, "Dabao also told me this morning, and I also think there shouldn't be anything to gain. We can just send people to pick it."
Xiang Jin said, "As I said, the price will not be lower than that of the radish, cabbage and dumpling vegetables, but it will not be too high. You can discuss the specific price with the elders of our family at that time."
After Xiang Jin finished speaking, Yan Chen directly gave his grandpa's home phone number to the two of them, "This is my home phone number. If you want to negotiate prices or come to pick vegetables, you can confirm with my grandpa and others in advance.
Get in touch.”
The two of them nodded and put away their phone numbers. Xiang Jin and the others did not expect that the matter would go so smoothly. They didn't waste much time on talking about it. The matter just fell into place. They knew that this was because of Feng Dabao, who had mentioned it in advance.
He told his boss this week, so they agreed with him, so on the way back together, Xiang Jin made another suggestion to him, "Brother Feng, you can actually send him to Zhenzhou directly when the time comes.
The government, they are all officials, and people like them are tricky and generally won't bargain with the people. When the time comes, you should contact more government departments, enterprises and institutions like this.
There are also educational institutions. If you cooperate with these units, you will definitely make more money than if you distribute to your peers. In the end, if you really can’t sell all the products, it will be the same if you redistribute them to peers, but I estimate that the chance of distributing to peers is very small.
"
Then Feng Dabao nodded and said, "Yes, I know, I will contact them later."
