Hearing Si Yaren's straightforward question, Zhen Zhen smiled and bent over, her crescent-like eyes were a little playful and a little cute, just like her age, some innocent and some cute. Si Yaren just wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand how such a young girl who had just graduated and still looked childish was the behind-the-scenes investor in the acquisition of the two major factories.
"Unfortunately, I have interviewed so many factories and only acquired a garment factory." Zhen Zhen asked the two to sit down, then smiled and nodded with the waiter: "It's time to serve."
Si Yaren remembered the predicament before his factory was acquired, and his smile was a little bitter: "Indeed, there are not many companies like me that have dried up their factories to the brink of bankruptcy."
Plates of tempting delicacies are served on the table, all of which are the signature dishes of the Imperial Hotel. Considering Si Yaren's modest salary, being able to eat meat every day is a good life. He is the first in such a high-end restaurant. Come in once.
Seeing that Si Yaren's expression was a little down, Zhen Zhen motioned to Wang Xinzhi to pour him a glass of beer: "Director Si, although the garment factory has not been very prosperous these years, your seriousness and hard work are still admirable. The factory can't last for so many years."
Si Yaren picked up the wine glass with a self-deprecating smile on his face: "I know that my ideas conflict with what is popular in society now, let's just say that this summer's Sachizi shirt, I can't understand why anyone would be willing to make such a statement. Buying a half-sleeve shirt with extra money, not only do those big girls and little daughters-in-law not feel it is not worth it, but they rush to it, as if buying it is like making a big bargain."
"This is fashion." Zhen Zhen smiled: "It's just like wearing a green military uniform that was fashionable back then, if anyone has something to wear out, it's a very face-to-face thing."
"That's different..." Si Yaren felt that this comparison was not right, but he couldn't understand what was wrong.
"Actually, there is no difference, it's just that people pursued revolutionary plots back then, but now they pursue celebrity effects." Zhen Zhen picked up her wine glass: "The times are changing, and we must follow the changes to keep up with the times. , in the future, you should not only pay attention to the production of the factory, but also pay more attention to the changes in the outside world. Now this era is an entrepreneur’s paradise.”
After he drank a glass of wine, Si Yaren's head became much clearer: "Reporter Li said... tsk... Look at me, what do you call Reporter Li, I should call you the same as Director Wang. Sound boss."
Zhen Zhen smiled and gave Wang Xinzhi and Si Yayi a pair of chopsticks to dip chicken in scallion oil: "What kind of boss is not a boss, it sounds cheesy, I am an investor, and the factory will depend on you to steer in the future. Let's stop talking, eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."
The fragrant and tender chicken entrance finally relaxed Si Yaren's tense nerves a lot. Wang Xinzhi helped Si Yaren serve a bowl of golden and translucent second place yellow braised shark fin, and introduced it seriously: "This is the Imperial Hotel. It takes five or six hours to make the shark fin light, and then use the whole chicken and duck, as well as pork knuckle, scallops, Jinhua ham and other good things to cook the perfect soup to cook the shark fin. It has to be cooked on the fire for at least six or seven hours until the shark fin is soft and glutinous, and the dish is not ready."
Hearing what Wang Xinzhi said was so daunting, Si Yaren couldn't wait to take a bite. The soft, rotten, glutinous shark fins had a mellow and juicy taste, which immediately made Si Yaren full of praise, and unknowingly finished eating a bowl of shark fins. Ren Cai asked, still in a hurry: "This dish uses so many good things, it must be cheap."
Wang Xinzhi looked at him and smiled: "It's almost your monthly salary."
Si Yaren looked dumbfounded at the half-eaten shark fin on the plate: "This is too expensive. If the money was bought into pork, it would be enough to eat for two or three months." But after thinking about what he just imported The taste, Si Yaren can understand the reason why this dish is so expensive: "But it's really delicious, and a pot of pork can't compare to this taste."
"It's like the lucky shirt we produced." Zhen Zhen smiled and ate the rest of the shark's fin and gave it to Si Yaren: "Although it's expensive, it makes people think it's not worth it, but it is the dream of young women. As long as you like a piece of clothes, what does it matter if you are extravagant once in a while?"
Thinking of how his daughter would rather save money and spend more than half a month's salary on that dress, Si Yaren somewhat understood: "This is what the director Wang said is popular, in fact, the director Wang also pointed me to it before. , I also want to follow the trend, but it always seems to be wrong."
Zhen Zhen smiled: "As a buyer, we can pursue fashion, but as a producer, also pursuing fashion will inevitably slow down others. What we need to do is to drive and change fashion, not to follow the fashion and eat ashes. people."
When Wang Xinzhi heard these words, his eyebrows moved slightly and seemed to understand. Zhen Zhen took a bite and asked Wang Xinzhi, "How about the recruitment of designers in the factory?"
Wang Xinzhi immediately replied: "From the employees in the factory, I found a young man who is quite talented in design, but he has not studied orthodox art, and he has many good ideas but can't draw them. I have already hired an art teacher for him. The teaching has been systematically done. The two foreign countries also recruited two students majoring in art. They have solid basic skills and have their own ideas on clothing, but the design is still relatively immature. I asked them to learn how to make clothes with the masters first.” Wang Xinzhi is abroad For those who have gone to college, Xingtiaoguo is one step ahead in the country in terms of clothing. Although Wang Xinzhi is not a professional in clothing design, his vision is much higher than those of these three young people.
"I still have too little knowledge." Zhen Zhen sighed: "You sign relevant contracts with them, and then help them prepare passports and visas..."
"Passport? Visa?" Although Si Yaren has never been abroad, but now there are factory managers he knows who have gone abroad for inspection. Si Yaren has naturally heard of these words, Wang Xinzhi turned around and explained to Si Yaren: "The factory I plan to send a few designers abroad to exchange and learn about fashion concepts and fashion design, the boss has already contacted a fashion school in France and several large clothing companies, and the other party is willing to invite us to study and visit."
"Going abroad to study?" Si Yaren is very envious of the fate of these young people, and he is also full of confidence in the future of the garment factory: "Li Ji... Boss Li, don't look at your young age, but you are an ordinary person with courage. Even these big state-owned factories feel that they spend too much money to send one person to study, but you, a private factory, can send three new recruits out for training at one go, I’ll take you on that alone.”
"Learning can never be stopped." Zhen Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "In the future, the excellent employees in our factory, including your managers, will have the opportunity to participate in various trainings, and only our personal abilities will continue to improve. , the factory will have a broader space for development.”
Seeing that both of them nodded their heads, Zhen Zhen took out a list from her bag and gave it to Xi Junjie: "These people are the designers I found myself, and some of them have already started to contact the clothing field. Some people don't know anything about this industry, but it doesn't matter we can all cultivate from scratch, what I like is the unique aura of clothing design in them."
Wang Xinzhi is very convinced of Zhen Zhen's ability to find talents, thinking that when he first returned to China, he originally planned to start his own business, but who would have thought that his father died suddenly because of an accident, and his mother was deeply affected by it. Seriously ill, it took a day and a night of rescue to be rescued, but the follow-up treatment costs were not cheap, and the family's savings were used up in just half a month. Because of this series of changes, the Wang family, who was originally considered a wealthy family in the eyes of everyone, was suddenly left out in the cold.
At that time, the Wang family not only could not afford to start a business for Wang Xinzhi, but needed Wang Xinzhi to make money to see a doctor for his mother. As soon as he returned to China, he was faced with such a bewildering situation. Although Wang Xinzhi held a luminous degree, no unit in the imperial capital was willing to give him a second look, and he only told him indifferently that it was not yet time to recruit.
It was at this time that Zhen Zhen appeared in front of him. Not only did she directly give Wang Xinzhi the position of deputy factory director, but she also advanced half a year's salary for him to see his mother. You must know that at that time, the furniture factory was not as impoverished as the current clothing factory. At that time, the furniture factory exported solid wood furniture and sold mattresses and modular furniture domestically, which has become a hot and good unit in the imperial capital. With a large amount of money in advance, Wang Xinzhi's mother was able to continue the treatment until she turned the corner.
When he was in the furniture factory, Wang Xinzhi also talked with the factory director Sun Rende about his experience of being found by Zhen Zhen. Back then, Sun Rende was much worse than Wang Xinzhi. If Zhen Zhen goes two days late, I am afraid that Sun Rende will find a rope to hang himself.
Although Wang Xinzhi didn't know how Zhen Zhen knew about him and Sun Rende, and he believed that they were talented in management, he was willing to hand over such a big factory to them who only had a few relationships. But in the past few years of contact, Zhen Zhen has been deified in Wang Xinzhi's heart, Wang Xinzhi feels that as long as Zhen Zhen makes a decision, there is nothing wrong, and there is nothing in the world that Zhen Zhen does not know, as long as Zhen Zhen sees it The people above, that designation are talents.
However, these people are indeed fashion designers who will shine in the future, but their talents have not been revealed yet. Although the factory needs to spend a lot of money to train people, but Zhen Zhen feels that compared with the wealth and achievements they will create in the future, these training costs are negligible.
Wang Xinzhi quickly dug over from all over the country according to the address written by Zhen Zhen. Except for the two people from the imperial capital, the six people from other places, Wang Xinzhi, spent a lot of time talking. Although it is very desirable to go to work in the imperial capital in this day and age, but suddenly someone came to the door to name and take away their children, and their children did not look very capable except for being young. When it comes to designing clothes, he doesn't even know how to make clothes. No one has to doubt it. Even if Wang Xinzhi brought a letter of introduction, people would not believe it, and they suspected that he was a forged letter of introduction with the seal stamped on the radish. In the end, Wang Xinzhi simply invited the parents of those few people to the imperial capital. After seeing the factory, the family reassured their children to sign a contract with the garment factory.
After the eight people arrived at the factory, they learned how to make clothes with the master during the day, and at night they studied art with the invited teachers in the small conference room of the factory. However, Wang Xinzhi was also afraid that they would be exhausted, so he gave them an hour and a half nap time at noon. Usually, he was ready to get off work at 5:30. In the evening, he went to class from 6:30 to 9:30. In addition, three meals a day were combined with meat and vegetables, guaranteed. They don't lose nutrition.
Although these eight people and the previous three people knew what kind of designers they had cultivated alone, they did not feel that they were any different. On the contrary, they were a little nervous because they had to ask an extra teacher for class, and they all studied very hard. For fear that I didn't learn the skills and I wasted money for the factory.
Wang Xinzhi came to see the outside of the conference room every night, and also privately asked the teacher and the teacher about the situation. He was very pleased to see that they were making rapid progress.
By the end of the year, the three-story building of the beauty salon was completed, and the interior decorations were all cleaned up according to Ling Xiulan's wishes. The luxurious bathtubs that Ling Xiulan customized from abroad were also installed in the bathroom on the third floor. After the completion, Ling Xiulan and Zhen Zhen took their family members to visit the beauty salon.
As soon as the beauty salon enters the door, there are the reception department and the waiting area. Unique and very comfortable sofas are arranged in a disorderly manner. Next to them is a row of magazine racks with fashion magazines ordered by Ling Xiulan from all over the world. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the text, a large number of clear atlas are printed, and just looking at the exquisite hairstyles and makeup above is enough to make beauty-seekers unable to let go.
The reception area and the beauty salon are separated by a row of large glass windows, with glass doors on both sides, one for beauty and the other for hair. Going to the hair salon, it was designed by Zhen Zhen according to the concept of the barber shop of later generations. The last row of shampoo chairs was specially produced by Tengda Furniture Factory for the beauty shop according to Zhen Zhen’s requirements, and the front section of the shampoo chairs were also installed. The sprinkler head is directly connected to the water heater to ensure that there is hot water with a suitable temperature at all times.
In front of each barber table is a beautiful large glass dressing table, next to a custom-made shelf for grooming supplies, with hair dryers and various scissors and combs, and a row of perm equipment neatly arranged in the empty space on the corner of the wall. The beauty salon on the other side is a little empty because the equipment has not yet arrived. The eight rooms inside are places for beauty, and the dressing tables outside are places for makeup.
From the reception area to the second and third floors is the VIP area. Those who are willing to spend money can enjoy a set of personal services here. In addition to beauty services, there are also massage therapists and professional technicians to help with bathing and massage. There are also the best make-up artists for haircuts, and the best make-up artists for make-up. There are also domestic and international big-name clothes and gold and silver jewelry to choose from. As long as you pay enough money, you can enjoy the most professional and comfortable service. To put it bluntly, even if a disgraced ugly duckling comes out of the construction site, as long as he has money to come to the second and third floors, it is guaranteed that when he goes out, he has transformed into a white swan that people dare not look directly at.
Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen snorted after hearing this: "It's not worth a thousand or eight hundred to buy clothes and jewelry after this trip. Can anyone come here?"
Ling Xiulan smiled: "The second floor and the third floor are naturally not for the consumption of ordinary people, but there is always a shortage of people with money and heritage in the emperor. If you don't say anything else, at least like my sisters-in-law, or your eldest son. It's definitely not a problem for my daughter-in-law to come once a month, and we are not considered a rich family in the imperial capital. Aunt, let me tell you that in the future, we will do beauty in our shop, and both ordinary people and those wives and wives will be proud of our beauty. "
Although Mrs. Li didn't understand, she also knew that Zhen Zhen and Ling Xiulan had a lot of business in this stall. This is indeed the case. Zhen Zhen has already spent tens of thousands of yuan for the pre-reconstruction and personnel training of the beauty salon, and this does not include the cost of equipment ordered from abroad and personnel training.
However, a large investment will also bring a large profit. Although this market is still blank, Zhen Zhen decided to lead the beauty shop to the high-end from the very beginning, and portray the image of the high-end beauty salon in the hearts of the people of the imperial capital, so that the follow-up will follow. , and can't come up with such strong funds to compete with themselves.
After a period of training for the beauty staff, Ling Xiulan selected five of the best employees and planned to take them to study abroad. In addition, she and Zhen Zhen hired many skilled hairdressers from the imperial capital, the magic capital and the Tsushima. , Although Ling Xiulan's beauty and hairdressing concept made them a little stunned, the high salary here finally moved them.
The two factories and beauty shops have already ordered the staff to train abroad, but as the Spring Festival approached, Zhen Zhen discussed with a few responsible persons and decided to postpone the plan until after the new year. After all, Chinese New Year is a big event. Besides, this is the first Spring Festival for Zhen Zhen to marry Xi Junjie.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and then it was Zhen Zhen's birthday. In the middle of the night, Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie were already asleep, and the three hands of different thicknesses on the clock on the wall finally overlapped at twelve o'clock as minutes and seconds passed. The light came directly from the moon, and sprinkled on Zhen Zhen's body through the curtain. It's just that the light didn't last long, it dissipated in almost half a minute, and Zhen Zhen also seemed to have noticed it and opened her eyes.
Zhen Zhen woke up, but she didn't sit up, she still kept lying down and used her consciousness to check her power status.
Since Da Zhen Zhen was born, every birthday is the time to upgrade her abilities, but on her birthdays a few years ago, Zhen Zhen didn't have any new abilities except that her consciousness covered a wider range. Although Zhen Zhen can use her consciousness to look at any part of the Asian territory at any time, she is still a little disappointed that she has not updated her abilities. And this time just after the power upgrade, Zhen Zhen in her sleep noticed that she was different, opened her eyes gently, Zhen Zhen looked at her body with consciousness, it seemed that there was no difference, but there was another kind of difference. Make the difference you can't tell.
What abilities have you upgraded? Zhen Zhen was puzzled.
Since she would not be able to fully understand it for a while, Zhen Zhen simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, when she can use this power, she will be able to perceive it. Turning around and looking at Xi Junjie in his sleep, Zhen Zhen smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then closed her eyes and entered Mengxiang again.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, the hearts of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are empty. The married couple come here every night after dinner, and they eat together on weekends. Zhen seems to be married. But this New Year is different, when Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie's parents go back to the old house, such a big house will be half empty.
Although Zhen Zhen is usually carefree, she is very careful towards her parents and Mrs. Li. Seeing the three old people, she feels a little empty. Zhen Zhen hurriedly called Mingdong, Mingxi and Mingbei and asked them to Bring the child over first.
Mingdong is already on holiday, but Osmanthus and Roubao get busier as the year ends, and even Doubao goes to help. Now that life is better, as long as the family is a little more prosperous, they have to buy clothes for the new year. On the first day of the new year, wearing new clothes and chatting with others will be straight. If the family is still wearing the old clothes from last year, and others don't tell me, I will be ashamed and panic, and I will not be able to see it this day. Therefore, not only Osmanthus and Zhen Zhen's clothing stores, but also a batch of new clothes produced by the clothing factory a few years ago were all looted by several stores.
When Ming Dong and Tang Bao were at home with big eyes and small eyes and they were feeling tired, Zhen Zhen's call came, Ming Dong immediately put on his coat and greeted Tang Bao: "Hurry up, let's go to your nurse's house."
Tang Bao was immediately happy, and while wearing a cotton jacket, he happily asked Ming Dong, "Is my aunt at home?"
"At home." Ming Dong put a hat on Tang Bao: "It's your aunt's call."
Before going out with the sugar bun, Ming Dong took a detour to the yard next door to say hello to Osmanthus' parents: "Mom, I'll take the sugar bun to her grandma's house."
"Okay, say hello to your milk and your parents for me." Lady Osmanthus instructed Ming Dong, then lifted a layer of gauze from the outside curtain, and packed a bag of frozen sticky beans and handed it to Ming Dong: "I made it myself yesterday and brought you milk to taste."
They were all made by themselves, and they weren't expensive. Mingdong took it without hesitation. When he saw Father Osmanthus lying on the sofa sleeping on the sofa in the room, Mingdong also asked two words: "Then you and I Dad, remember to have lunch, when the three of Osmanthus and his mother come back in the evening, please tell me, I will come back after dinner."
"I see, you don't need to worry about it. I will cook more food in the afternoon and ask them to come here to eat." Lady Osmanthus tugged the scarf around Tang Bao's neck again, and then said again: "Hurry up and go. Come on, slow down on the road, don't drop the sugar bag."
Mingdong responded and rode a bicycle with a sugar bag, while Mingxi and Mingbei also went to the courtyard with their children.
A group of children, big and small, instantly filled Mrs. Li's room to the brim. When Mrs. Li saw her great-grandson and granddaughter, her face blossomed with joy, and even Wang Sufen didn't have time to feel sad. While hurriedly instructing the kitchen to cook more dishes at noon, they asked one by one what they were doing at home.
Madam Li looked at the group of children, and looked at Zhen Zhen who was sitting in the crowd, not knowing what to say and laughing, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I said Zhen Zhen, you and Junjie have been married for so long. It's time, why haven't you conceived a child yet?"
Zhen Zhen almost choked on the melon seeds she had just put in her mouth, after an earth-shattering cough, she suddenly touched her stomach and realized that she actually has such an ability!
It turned out that the mother of the general body can also control the birth of children, Zhen Zhen felt a little dizzy.
