Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: (modified)

"The garment factory is going to be sold?" Zhen Zhen became interested when she heard it: "I'll call Sun Rende in a while and ask him to allocate funds to you first, as long as the government doesn't take us as a scapegoat, this factory will definitely be taken over. ."

Wang Xinzhi's voice sounded smug: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely win this factory."

Zhen Zhen chuckled twice: "The garment factory will be handed over to you in the future. You must hand over the furniture factory to Director Sun, and don't let him be too busy to have time to eat."

"I know, otherwise Mrs. Sun would be unhappy." Wang Xinzhi laughed heartily: "I have already discussed the candidate for the deputy with Director Sun, and you can decide when you look at it."

Zhen Zhen said immediately: "I don't need to look at it. Since I handed over the factory to you, I naturally believe that you can do everything well."

Wang Xinzhi was very moved by Li Mingzhen's trust. A scholar died for a confidant. There is such an investor who only pays and is willing to delegate power and trust him wholeheartedly. Wang Xinzhi thinks that Li Mingzhen is worthy. For their own bole.

Zhen Zhen didn't notice Wang Xinzhi's turbulent mood, she circled the phone line with her fingers and asked curiously, "Last time we cooperated with a garment factory for a few business deals. It stands to reason that as long as they operate normally, they can at least By the end of the year, did the director of the department make some strange decisions?"

Wang Xinzhi remembered the army green cotton cloths in the warehouse, and suddenly one head and two big ones: "He bought a lot of army green cotton cloths to make green military uniforms, and planned to use green uniforms to seize the autumn clothing market." Wang Xinzhi said about this piece Everything laughed helplessly: "But now, how can people buy that as a coat? It's not a problem just after a sample is made, and no store is willing to buy it. I think if it weren't for the special period in the past few years, it can only be worn. With fixed-style clothes, just relying on Si Yaren's group, the garment factory should have closed down a long time ago."

Zhen Zhen nodded in agreement, the green military uniforms and gray coats on the street a few years ago, from the young to the old, don't have to worry about what they wear, anyway, that's all they can wear. A little bright color is easy to be pulled out and criticized, not to mention the new style of clothes, even in the year when Zhen Zhen took the university entrance examination, the university clearly stipulated that those who wore jeans would not be admitted. But having said that, if it wasn't for the repression for too long in those years, the current clothing business would not be so easy to do.

Thinking about the fashion trend for a while, Zhen Zhen came up with an idea: "When the garment factory buys it, don't waste the army green cotton cloth, and make it into military coats."

"Military coat?" Wang Xinzhi was a little puzzled. In his eyes, the military coat was not much more foreign than the green uniform.

Zhen Zhen smiled: "Nowadays, the number of dance halls in the imperial capital has increased from one to three, which attracts a lot of fashionable men and women. According to the popular trend, the dance halls will be sought after by more and more fashionable young people in the future. Don't all the people who are chasing girls go there. Now young people go out to play, if they don't walk or take the bus, the better family is to ride a bicycle. It's fine in spring, summer and autumn, but in winter, they have to wear different clothes inside. Light and beautiful to dance, it's not good to have no clothes to keep out the cold outside."

Wang Xinzhi followed Zhen Zhen's ideas to find the usefulness of the military coat, but he still thought it was too ugly. Zhen Zhen chuckled and said: "Although people are living better now than before, their economic conditions are still limited, and the high-end mink furs are not for them to consume at all, and the fashionable winter clothes are too short and not so good. Warmth effect. Don't look at the ugly military coat, but it is not so expensive. You can buy one for half a month's salary. Thinking about the current clothes, there is no warmer, thicker and more windproof than the military coat. Although young people love to be pretty, they are also afraid of cold."

Thinking of the living standard of the common people today, Wang Xinzhi had to obey Zhen Zhen's keen observation. After Zhen Zhen identified the consumer group, he immediately thought of a sales strategy: "Wait in the winter, find a few factories in the factory. Young big girls and boys, let them wear military coats to dance halls, this fashion is learned, as long as there are more people wearing them, they will definitely lead people to chase the wind. Besides, military coats are a simple old tradition, as long as we put This wave of trends has been re-launched, and I think even middle-aged people, the elderly, and leading cadres will follow suit.

Zhen Zhen smiled: "These military green cotton cloths are not afraid of being smashed into your hands, and we can still live well if we follow the trend of TV dramas in a short time. But if we want to make the garment factory bigger and stronger, we have to establish it. We need our own brand. To do this, we must first have professional designers. Xinzhi, if we want to make our clothing into a nationally famous brand like Tengda Furniture Factory, it will not be done overnight. ."

Wang Xinzhi's smile disappeared, and his face became more serious and solemn: "Don't worry, I will pay close attention to the long-term and short-term planning of the garment factory, and I will definitely make the garment factory go to glory in my hands."

Zhen Zhen smiled: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. The clothing factory and the furniture factory have the same distribution ratio. I'll give you 20% of the shares and 40% of the annual net income as dividends." Wang Xinzhi Lips moved, unable to speak with excitement,

Hang up the phone, Li Mingzhen called Sun Rende again, and explained the matter of granting Sun Rende a sum of money, and he was relieved.

Stretching, looking at the profile of Xi Junjie who was reading under the lamp, Zhen Zhen walked over and hugged Xi Junjie's neck from behind and kissed him on the cheek.

Xi Junjie turned around and put Zhen Zhen in his arms and hugged him on his lap: "Are you done?"

"Yes." Zhen Zhen leaned against Xi Junjie's arms and let out a long sigh of relief: "There are two people in the factory, Sun Rende and Wang Xinzhi, I don't need to worry too much, but there are too few people I can use. , most of the factory is the kind of one who directs one action, and few are willing to use their brains."

Xi Junjie put his arms around Zhen Zhen and helped Zhen Zhen to think of an idea: "Nowadays, there is no school in Huaguo that specializes in cultivating talents like business management, you can only train some young people who are flexible and daring to develop, look at Can you pick out a few who are loyal and talented in management, or directly introduce high-end talents from abroad like Wang Zhixin. But..." Xi Junjie sighed: "Like Wang Xinzhi who specializes in business management, it is just right It is very difficult to meet young people who are willing to return to China to develop their careers.”

"Yes." Zhen Zhen hugged her arms and sighed, "I'm lucky to meet one Wang Xinzhi, but it's too difficult to meet another one, so I can only think of other methods and dig some management. Talent."

Touching Zhen Zhen's hair, Xi Junjie asked curiously, "Do you have any other ideas for making money?"

Zhen Zhen nodded and looked at Xi Junjie mysteriously: "I ask you, who makes the best money?"

Xi Junjie was stunned for a while, then hesitantly answered after thinking for a long time: "Is it a rich person? They spend a lot of money, and they will make better money relatively."

Zhen Zhen smiled, stretched out her finger and stroked Xi Junjie's face: "Wrong, the best money is the money in a woman's pocket! Especially a woman who loves beauty!"

This answer has opened up Xi Junjie's mind a lot. After all, he has stayed in the fashion capital for many years. Xi Junjie is deeply touched by the persistence of French women in the pursuit of beauty. He raised his eyebrows. Formed in my mind: "You already have a clothing factory, so what are you going to do? Is it to acquire a home chemical factory to make your own cosmetics brand, or is it more direct, such as opening a beauty salon?"

Zhen Zhen immediately sat up straight and gave Xi Junjie a big "boom": "You've guessed it! I want to open a beauty salon, but this matter is better than opening a furniture factory and Clothing factories are still difficult." Zhen Zhen leaned softly into Xi Junjie's arms and sighed: "Furnished factories like furniture factories and garment factories are directly acquired, as long as we have excellent management talents and can lead the market. Design and perfect sales strategies are enough. But beauty is different. It is still a brand new field in China that no one is involved in. Not to mention old workers, there are no skilled ones. So if you want to set up a beauty salon , I must first find some reliable and very smart girls, send them to Hong Kong Island or even abroad for study and training, and then one must have a management talent who can take care of the beauty salon, preferably a woman, such a beauty shop Only the basic conditions for opening a business."

Zhen Zhen got down from Xi Junjie's arms and took out a piece of paper to write and draw: "If you build your own beauty brand, it is essential to enter the cosmetics industry in the future." Zhen Zhen's hand holding the pen paused. After a while, he scratched his hair angrily: "people, I'm short of people."

Xi Junjie smiled: "The cosmetics factory is not in a hurry, but I have someone I can recommend for the beauty salon."

"Who?" Zhen Zhen looked at Xi Junjie's excited eyes flashing.

Xi Junjie laughed, he held Zhen Zhen's hand and softly spit out two words: "My mother!"

***

Ling Xiulan went to France with Xi Changbo back then. As the wife of a diplomatic ambassador, Ling Xiulan participated in many activities in the upper French society. Participating in such activities is not just a matter of washing your head and changing your clothes. In order to show your importance, it is necessary to go to a beauty salon for a set of beauty treatments. If it is more extravagant, the more high-end beauty salons will match different dresses, shoes and bags according to the requirements of the guests, and make a beautiful hairstyle according to the selected clothes. This set of services is complete.

Ling Xiulan has been in France for more than ten years. In addition to attending banquets, she also chooses to go to a beauty salon for daily maintenance and hairstyles. It is because of this foundation that although Ling Xiulan is now in her forties, she still looks like a person in her thirties, with no deeper wrinkles on her face.

Zhen Zhen nodded immediately when she heard her mother-in-law's name, but then hesitated: "This beauty salon is not a light job, and there is no experience in shaping in China, we all have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and then In the early stage, I have to take people to study abroad, what should I do if my mother is tired?"

Xi Junjie stroked Zhen Zhen's hair: "Ask my mother to see if she is willing. Since returning to China, her career has been put on hold, and she has no other hobbies except gardening. If you do something, I guess she will be happy too."

Zhen Zhen nodded: "Tell my mother tomorrow."

The next day was a working day. Zhen Zhen didn't mention it until after dinner, when the family sat around drinking tea and chatting, but at first Zhen Zhen wasn't sure if Ling Xiulan had any idea of ​​going out to start a business, she hesitated Zhen Zhen asked again and again: "Mom, I see that women in China have gradually changed their minds in the past two years, paying more and more attention to the beauty of their appearance, like clothing and hairstyles, they like to follow the trends on TV, I think since women With such a good market prospect, I want to open a beauty salon, what do you think?"

Ling Xiulan's eyes lit up immediately, she stood up excitedly, pulled Zhen Zhen and asked, "Is it the kind of beauty salon that does skin care?" Seeing Zhen Zhen nodded, Ling Xiulan sincerely He praised: "This idea is great, women have to pay attention to maintenance, especially regular care is essential." Ling Xiulan didn't even bother to drink tea, she held her chin and pondered for a moment: "I think this can be done , and there are still great prospects. Don't look at us ordinary people who are not particularly rich now, but don't underestimate women's obsession with beauty. If you leave me, you don't have to eat, and beauty must be done." Ling Xiulan said the more excited: "Zhen Zhen, where are you going to open your beauty shop? Have you figured out where to buy the equipment?"

Seeing Ling Xiulan's excited look, Zhen Zhen shook her head with a wry smile: "I just have this idea at the moment, it will take some time before it takes shape. I work in Huaguo Society to increase my horizons and accumulate network capital, so I haven't been able to quit my job for a while to concentrate on running a beauty salon. To tell you the truth, I have a ready-made store under my name, and I also have funds. What is currently lacking is people. My idea is to find someone who understands beauty to manage it. Beauty shop, and then find some ingenious girls to go to foreign professional beauty shops to train for a period of time, so as to make customers feel that the value for money is excellent.”

"You're right!" Ling Xiulan nodded in agreement, then she frowned slightly: "As for the person in charge of the beauty shop..." She paused and smiled suddenly: "What do you think of me? ?"

Ling Xiulan's words were an unexpected joy to Zhen Zhen, she originally wanted to take a side view to see what Ling Xiulan was thinking, but she didn't expect to speak up without waiting for her to invite Ling Xiulan.

"Mom, are you really willing to do it?" Zhen Zhen's excitement was beyond words, she looked at Ling Xiulan and nodded with a smile, Zhen Zhen immediately said, "It would be great if Mom was willing to be in charge of the beauty salon. Beautiful and youthful in appearance, as long as you walk into the store, it will be the living sign of our beauty store. But..." Zhen Zhen's words changed, and her face became a little more worried: "This beauty store will not be easy to operate, Mom won't be as leisurely as she is now."

"Who would want to be idle at home if they have a career they like?" Ling Xiulan sneered: "Zhen Zhen, I tell you, women can only be colorful and colorful if they have their own career and life, and they can live younger and younger. When your father first came back, the domestic situation was very tense, and he immediately put out all my passion for doing business, and not even a small flame was left. Although the domestic situation has improved in the past two years, I will also I didn't think of what to do, this person is getting lazy the more I stay at home, I've been counting the petals for several years at home, and I don't even like to move my brain."

"Can you turn your head now?" Xi Changbo refilled the tea for a few people, and looked at Ling Xiulan with a little teasing.

"Of course." Ling Xiulan said that the things she likes are full of light in her eyes: "This beauty career is still blank in China. People like me who come back from the fashion capital have to be a pioneer." /

Zhen Zhen looked at Ling Xiulan's confident look and couldn't help laughing: "Mom, then we're done?"

"It's settled!" Ling Xiulan made a decision with a slap in the face: "In the past two days, you will prepare the materials, and I will go through the industrial and commercial formalities first. I will quickly confirm another storefront, and find someone to clean it up. We need to recruit people for training and equipment.”

"Being a beauty salon is a big place. I have four or five stores connected in several places." Zhen Zhen was thinking about the stores she bought, and before she could decide which place to choose, Ling Xiulan had already taken out Handed the pen and paper to Zhen Zhen: "Write down the address, I'll take a look tomorrow."

Zhen Zhen wrote down the address and excitedly hugged Ling Xiulan's arm and smiled: "Mom, we will partner in the future."

Ling Xiulan patted Zhen Zhen's hand and smiled: "Not only a partner, you are also my boss."

****

Ling Xiulan has a habit of doing what she says. In the morning, Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie had just finished grooming and went to eat in the front hall, and Ling Xiulan had already eaten and went out. When Zhen Zhen came back in the evening, Ling Xiulan had already cut out a lot of magazines she brought back from France to prepare the design drawings.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhen Zhen took off her coat and stretched out her head to read the thick magazines on the table. Ling Xiulan didn't lift her head, she turned to a picture of a beauty shop, picked up scissors and cut it out: "I'm thinking about designing and decorating, but I'm not very good at drawing design drawings, and you'll have to write for a while."

"Have you chosen a shop?" Zhen Zhen picked up the messy blueprints and guessed the location of the shop by looking at the area on it: "This is the place where you have a picture of East Chang'an Avenue. ?"

"Yes." Ling Xiulan said, and the pen in her hand was not idle: "That location has a lot of traffic and is the most lively place in our imperial capital. To put it bluntly, there are more people watching the fun than other places. Plus this The store is not far from the Imperial Hotel, which is convenient for attracting high-end customers. It's just that this store now has a clothing store, and I think the business is booming. If your contract has not expired, people may not be willing to move."

Zhen Zhen smiled: "That's a store that I had nothing to do when I was in college, just to earn some pocket money. As long as you choose a place, I'll have the store vacated immediately."

Ling Xiulan didn't expect that her daughter-in-law not only opened a factory but also a clothing store, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhen Zhen, you are so unique, I see that the clothes in that clothing store are very new, and the location of the store is also very unique. Well, you're a real business man."

Zhen Zhen smiled and took Ling Xiulan's arm: "Mom, please don't praise me, you will blush if you praise me any more."

Ling Xiulan smiled, rubbed her neck and saw that it was getting late, she put down her pen and stood up to support Zhen Zhen's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to dinner, and discuss the design of the store after dinner."

The beauty salon has now become a major event on Ling Xiulan's mind. Even while eating, she frequently loses her mind, shaking her head from time to time and muttering, "No, it can't be designed like this." Knowing what to think of, I was very excited and looked at it, and a few people were startled for a while.

After eating a frightening meal, Zhen Zhen just rinsed her mouth, Ling Xiulan pulled her up and ran away, the two women stared blankly at the disappearing backs of the two women, and sighed in unison .

"I'm starting to think it's not a good idea to ask Zhen Zhen to work with my mother." Xi Junjie sighed in trouble: "Why did my mother suddenly become such a workaholic?"

Xi Changbo remembered the study room occupied by his daughter-in-law, so he brewed tea in the front hall: "It's okay if your mother has something to do, I've always worried that the longer she stays, the less energetic she is, this person is completely dead. You get old quickly, and someone who loves beauty like your mother can't stand it. She only became a workaholic when she found something she likes. Even if she is busy and tired, as long as it is what she likes, she will be happy. "

Xi Junjie frowned and sighed: "I think my mother has energy, but my energy is going to be gone."

Sure enough, that night, Xi Junjie waited in the room until ten o'clock and didn't see Zhen Zhen come back. Although Zhen Zhen was in the main courtyard in front, and there were electric lights under the promenade that he passed by, Xi Junjie was still worried and took a thick coat to go out to pick up his daughter-in-law.

Walking into the main courtyard, he saw bright lights shining through the glass. Just as Xi Junjie was about to enter, he found that the lights were also on in the wing room, so he turned and went to the east wing. Opening the door, Xi Junjie saw that Xi Changbo had changed into his pajamas and was leaning on the bed reading a book, and a bad premonition came to his mind: "Dad, why are you sleeping here?"

Xi Changbo glanced at Xi Junjie bitterly: "Your mother and your daughter-in-law are very excited, I see that they are not going to sleep for a while, your daughter-in-law is in the study, I am too embarrassed to stay in the bedroom , why don't you come to the east wing with your pajamas. Fortunately, tomorrow is Sunday, everyone can sleep in late, if you go to work, your daughter-in-law will be late."

Seeing his son's broken face, Xi Changbo looked at him sympathetically: "It's okay, anyway, you two have said that you will have children for a few years, so it doesn't matter if you sleep alone."

"Who said it doesn't matter." Xi Junjie looked resentful: "It's been less than a month since I married my daughter-in-law, so why am I alone in the vacant room? No, I'll talk to my mother. "

Xi Junjie turned around and walked out. Xi Changbo sat at the window full of anticipation, thinking that if Xi Junjie pulled Zhen Zhen away, he would still be able to go back to the house and sleep. But he waited left and right until he kept yawning and couldn't keep his eyelids open. Then he mumbled resentfully, "Useless boy." Then he went to bed unwillingly.

The clock pointed to eleven o'clock. When Xi Junjie watched his own mother overturn all the previous plans, and eagerly wanted to rebuild a three-story building on the original site to build a professional and luxurious beauty salon, Xi Junjie decisively put Zhen Zhen picked it up and carried it on her shoulders. Seeing that the clothes on Zhen Zhen's body were not thick enough, Xi Junjie simply pulled the little quilt that Ling Xiulan slept with in the afternoon and put it over Zhen Zhen's body.

Ling Xiulan stared dumbfounded at her son, who robbed his daughter-in-law like a bandit, and finally left a sentence: "Don't wake us up tomorrow morning."

Ling Xiulan touched her chin and shouted at her son with good intentions: "I see, I will prepare a soup for strengthening the kidneys and nourishing the body for you tomorrow morning."

Xi Junjie paused and left the main courtyard quickly.
