MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 120 120
Hearing Si Yaren's straightforward question, Zhen Zhen smiled and bent over, her crescent-like eyes were a little playful and cute, just like her age, a little innocent Somewhat 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 garment factories." 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 bit bitter: "Indeed, there are not many companies like me that have made factories close to 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 , This is the first time he has entered such a high-end restaurant.
Seeing Si Yaren's expression a little down, Zhen Zhen motioned to Wang Xinzhi to pour him a glass of beer: "Director, although the garment factory has not been very prosperous these years, your seriousness and hard work are still very good. It's admirable, otherwise the garment factory wouldn't have been able to 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 Sachiko shirt, I think now I don't understand why someone would be willing to pay so much for a half-sleeve shirt, those big girls and little daughters-in-law not only don't think it's not worth it, but they rush to it, as if buying it is the same as 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 lot of face."
"That's different..." Si Yaren felt that this comparison was not right, but he couldn't explain what was wrong.
"In fact, there is no difference, it's just that people pursued revolutionary plots in the past, and now they pursue celebrity effects." Zhen Zhen picked up the glass: "The times are changing, and we must follow the changes to keep up with the changes." The pace of the times. Director, 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.”
Drinking a glass of wine, Si Yaren's head was a lot clearer: "Reporter Li said... tsk... Look at me, what is the name of Reporter Li, I should talk to Wang Just like the factory manager, I will call you boss."
Zhen Zhen smiled and gave Wang Xinzhi and Si Yayi a pair of chopsticks with scallion oil-soaked chicken: "What kind of boss is not a boss, it sounds tacky, I am an investor People, 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 to serve a bowl of golden and translucent second place yellow braised shark fin, very seriously The introduction: "This is the signature dish of the Imperial Hotel. It takes five or six hours to lighten the shark's fin, and then use the whole chicken and duck, as well as pork knuckles, scallops, Jinhua ham and other good things to stew the purest soup. To cook the finished shark fins, you have to cook them on the fire for at least six or seven hours until the shark fins are soft and glutinous, and the dish is not ready.”
Listening to Wang Xinzhi's words, Si Yaren couldn't wait to take a bite. The soft, glutinous shark fin had a mellow and juicy taste, which immediately made Si Yaren full of praise and unknowingly After eating a bowl of shark fins, Siyaren asked in a still unfinished mood, "This dish uses so many good things, so 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 is enough to buy pork for two or three months. "But after reminiscing about the taste of the entrance just now, 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."
"This is similar to the lucky shirt we produce." Zhen Zhen smiled and ate the rest of the shark fins and gave it to Si Yaren: "Although the expensive ones make people feel a little unworthy, but It is indeed a piece of clothing that young women dream of most, as long as they like it, what does it matter if they are extravagant once in a while?"
Thinking of how her daughter would rather be frugal and spend more than half a month's salary on that dress, Si Yaren somewhat understood: "This is what Director Wang said, but it's actually popular. Director Wang also pointed me to it before, and I want to follow the trend, but it seems that I can’t always follow it.”
Zhen Zhen smiled: "As a buyer, we can pursue fashion, but as producers, pursuing fashion will inevitably slow us down. What we need to do is to drive and change fashion, not Go and be the one who eats ashes after the epidemic."
Wang Xinzhi's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this, 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 staff in the factory, I found a young man who is quite talented in design, but he has not studied orthodox art, and many ideas are good but he can't draw them. I have already I hired an art teacher to teach him systematically. The two countries also recruited two art majors. They have solid basic skills and have their own ideas on clothing, but the design is still a little more immature. I asked them to talk to the masters first. Learn to make clothes." Wang Xinzhi who went to college abroad, Xingtiaoguo is one step ahead in the country in clothing, although Wang Xinzhi is not a professional in clothing design, but his vision is much higher than 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 back to talk to Si Yaren Yaren explained: "The factory plans to send several 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 We used to study visits."
"Going to study abroad?" Si Yaren is very envious of the opportunities of these young people, and is also full of confidence in the future of the garment factory: "Li Ji... Boss Li, regardless of your age Small, but your courage is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even if these large state-owned factories send a person out to study, they feel that they spend too much money and are reluctant to pay. You, a private factory, can send three new people for training in one breath. I will obey you."
"Learning can never be stopped." Zhen Zhen looked at the two and said, "In the future, excellent employees in our factory, including your managers, will have the opportunity to participate in various trainings, Only when our personal ability is improved will the factory have a broader space for development.”
Seeing that both of them nodded with understanding, Zhen Zhen took out a list from her bag and gave it to Wang Xinzhi: "These people are the designers I found, some of them have already Some people know nothing about the field of clothing, but it doesn't matter that we can 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. When he first returned to China, he originally planned to start his own business, but who would have thought that his father died suddenly due to an accident just after returning home. , the mother was seriously ill because of this, and she was rescued after a day and a night of rescue, 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 Wang Xinzhi to start a business, 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, she not only directly gave Wang Xinzhi a position as deputy factory director, but 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. There are no three meals a day, 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 herself and Sun Rende, and believed that they were talented in management, she 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.
But these people are indeed fashion designers who will shine in the future, but they have not shown their talents 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 in the imperial capital, the six people in other places, Wang Xinzhi, spent a lot of words. 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 teacher 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 cultivated independently, they did not feel that they were any different. Instead, they were a little nervous because they had to ask an extra teacher to teach. All of them studied very hard, for fear that if they didn't learn the skills, they would waste money on the factory.
Wang Xinzhi came to the meeting room every night to have a look. He also asked the master and teacher in private to ask about the situation. It was very gratifying to see that they made rapid progress.
By the end of the year, the three-storey building of the beauty salon was built, and the interior decorations were all cleaned up according to Ling Xiulan's intention. The luxurious bathtubs customized by Ling Xiulan from abroad were also installed on the third floor. in the bathroom. After the completion, Ling Xiulan and Zhen Zhen brought their family members to visit the beauty salon.
As soon as the beauty salon enters the door, there is the reception department and the waiting area. The sofas with unique and very comfortable shapes are arranged in a disorderly manner. Next to it is a row of magazine racks with Ling Xiulan ordering from all over the world. fashion magazine. 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 each side, 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 is a beautiful large glass dresser, next to a custom-made shelf for hairdressing supplies, with hair dryers and various scissors and combs, plus a row of perms The equipment is neatly placed in the empty corner. 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 here can enjoy a set of personal services. In addition to beauty services, there are also massage therapists, bathtubs and professional technicians. Help with bathing and massage, there are also the best masters for haircuts, and the best makeup artists for makeup, as well as domestic and international big-name clothes and gold and silver jewelry to choose from, as long as you pay enough to ensure that you can enjoy To 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.
Mr. Li and Wang Sufen smacked their tongues 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 not for the consumption of ordinary people, but there are always people who have money and heritage in the emperor, and at least they are like mine. A sister-in-law, or your eldest daughter-in-law once a month is definitely not a problem, and we are not considered rich people in the imperial capital. Aunt, let me tell you that in the future, we will do beauty in our shop, whether it is ordinary people or those wives and wives will be able to do it. Since then, we have been proud of doing beauty.”
Although Mrs. Li didn't understand, she also knew that Zhen Zhen and Ling Xiu Lan Qi's business was not small. 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 beginning, and portray the image of the high-end beauty salon in the people of the imperial capital. In my heart, I would follow suit like this, and I wouldn't be able to come up with such strong funds to compete with myself.
After a period of training for beauty staff, Ling Xiulan selected five of the best staff to take them to study abroad. In addition, she and Zhen Zhen hired them from the imperial capital, the magic capital and the Tsushima. There were a lot of skilled barbers. 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 foreign training personnel, but when the Spring Festival is approaching, Zhen Zhen discussed with several responsible persons and decided to postpone the plan until the end of the year, after all, in China Chinese New Year is a big event, not to mention this is the first Spring Festival for Zhen Zhen to marry Xi Junjie.
It was the twelfth lunar month, and then came 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, passing through the curtains and shedding light on Zhen Zhen's body. 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 instead of sitting up, she still kept lying down and used her consciousness to check her abilities.
Since Da Zhen Zhen was born, every birthday is the time to upgrade her abilities, but on her birthday a few years ago, Zhen Zhen didn’t have any new abilities except that her consciousness had become wider and wider. produce. 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 ability was upgraded? Zhen Zhen was puzzled.
Since she could not fully understand it for a while, Zhen Zhen simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, when she can use this ability, 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, the hearts of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen are empty. The married couple come here every night after dinner. On weekends, the two get together. Eating together doesn't feel like Zhen Zhen is 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 to her parents and Mrs. Li. Seeing the three old people is a little empty, Zhen Zhen hurried to Mingdong and Mingxi Call Mingbei and ask them to send the child over first.
It's a holiday early in the morning, but Osmanthus and Roubao get busier as the end of the year approaches, 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 and they were tired of big eyes and small eyes, Zhen Zhen's call came, Ming Dong immediately put on his coat and greeted Tang Bao: "Hurry up, let's go to you go to the grandma's house."
The sugar bag was instantly happy, and while wearing a padded jacket, he asked Mingdong happily: "Is my aunt at home?"
"At home." Ming Dong put a hat on Tang Bao: "It was your aunt who called."
Before Ming Dong took the sugar buns and went out, he took a detour to the yard next door and said hello to Osmanthus' parents: "Mom, I will bring the sugar buns to her grandma's house."
"Okay, say hello to your milk and your parents for me." Lady Osmanthus instructed Mingdong, and then lifted a layer of gauze from the outside cover and put the frozen sticky beans Packed a bag and handed it to Ming Dong: "I made it myself yesterday, and I'll bring you milk to taste."
Two sentences: "Then you and my father can remember to have lunch. When the three of Osmanthus and his mother come back in the evening, you will tell me that I will come back after dinner."
"I know, don't worry about it, I will cook more food in the afternoon and ask them to come here to eat." Lady Osmanthus pulled the scarf around the sugar bag's neck up again, Then he said again: "Go quickly, slow down on the road, don't drop the sugar bag."
Ming Dong responded and rode a bicycle with a sugar bag and left, while Mingxi and Mingbei also went to the courtyard with their children.
A group of children, big and small, instantly crowded Mrs. Li's house. When Mrs. Li saw her great grandson and granddaughter, her face bloomed with joy. Wang Sufen didn't have time to be sad anymore, and while hurriedly instructing the kitchen to cook more dishes at noon, she asked one by one what they were doing at home.
Mr. Li looked at the group of children, and at Zhen Zhen who was sitting in the crowd who didn't know what to say and laughed, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I said Zhen Zhen , you and Junjie have been married for so long, why haven't you conceived a child yet?"
Zhen Zhen almost choked on the melon seeds that she just put in her mouth, after a earth-shattering cough, she suddenly touched her stomach and realized that she actually had such an ability!
It turns out that the Mother Earth can also rule and give birth to children, Zhen Zhen felt a little dizzy.
