National Tide 1980.

Chapter 244

On February 1982, 2, the newspaper published the news that "the filming of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" is under preparation".

How to choose a role and who will play the leading role in the play have become the focus of attention in the society for a while.

And on the same day, Ning Weimin was also overjoyed, and finally got the start-up capital of 5 yuan instructed by Song Huagui.

Needless to say, having money in hand is of course completely different.

Since then, although in name, the Zhaigong Exhibition Hall and Jianguo Hotel clothing franchise store managed by Ning Weimin are still subordinate units of the head office.

But since there is no need to ask the company for instructions, it is almost completely out of the constraints of the head office.

Ning Weimin has essentially turned these two places into small units with independent accounting.

That is to say, he was equivalent to being "enfeoffed", and finally became a real "vassal".

You can do whatever you want to please yourself.

Not to mention, our Marquis Ning really does not waste the property he just won.

As soon as he got the money, he was eager to throw it out before it was hot.

Among other things, the four new employees he had just selected through the "foreign service" had not gone through the pre-job training of the head office.

He was directly brought to the fasting palace by him, and together with the old staff of "Twelve Hairpins", he participated in his carefully prepared and unique training subjects.

It is quite different from the usual training content of typing, faxing, strengthening foreign languages, and popularizing basic foreign trade knowledge in the head office.

Ning Weimin cares more about practicality.

So the courses he set are four aspects, foreign language, makeup, appearance and clothing sales knowledge.

As for the teacher, he didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money and rely on his connections. At the cost of 35 yuan and 20 yuan per class, he hired an in-service flight attendant leader and a clothing department leader from the Friendship Store from Civil Aviation to give training to the girls.

At the same time, he bought lipstick, blush, mascara, and high heels for all the girls from the Friendship Store.

And at the price of [-] yuan per person at the West Fourth "Zaocun", according to the new uniform style of civil aviation, each of the sixteen girls was tailor-made for one winter, two summers and three sets of work clothes.

To put it bluntly, it was a real waste of money!

It has not yet started to create benefits, and these expenses alone have reached 8000 yuan.

And obviously, it is a bit ridiculous for an international brand clothing franchise store to hire a tailor to imitate other people's uniforms to order work clothes for its employees at such a high price.

I am afraid that in the eyes of most people, this move is purely a silly matter of riding a horse to find a horse.

But in fact, this is not the case, and this move is extremely necessary.

Because in essence, Pilkardon's women's clothing is not suitable for work clothes.

The master's design style has always been the pursuit of avant-garde and unique style.

Whether it is the "bubble skirt" that exited in the 50s, or the "spacesuit" series in the 60s.

All can reflect the strong "futurism" in his works.

Even he is now influenced by the "broad shoulder pads" created by the cornices of our ancient buildings.

It also breaks away from tradition and seems exaggerated.

To be honest, in Ning Weimin's view, the master's reputation in the western fashion industry is mainly due to his exploration of clothing styles. He can often break the boundaries of imagination, which is why he is recognized and sought after by his peers.

If it weren't for the right time, our Republic has been banned for too long on personal beauty.

After the sudden lifting of the ban, Chinese people subconsciously love unconventional and exotic clothes, the more exaggerated the more they love them.

It is still unknown whether Pilkardon's clothes can open up the domestic market.

Anyway, according to Ning Weimin's cognition and aesthetics, "PC" women's clothing is only suitable for the stage, but it is far away from reality, and the commercial cost performance is not high.

Of course, he didn't want his subordinates to become like those girls in the company, turning into fairies with claws and claws.

Even if the scattered flowers gradually become charming, the eyes are a kind of coquettish beauty.

But what is certain is that such a flamboyant dress does not look like a clothes seller, let alone a service.

Ning Weimin needs his employees to be beautiful, but more importantly, they also need to keep a low profile and solemnity.

What's more, "PC" women's clothing is ready-to-wear, which is a popular fashion abroad, and wins by style rather than quality.

How long can you wear it?

If you wear it every day, you will have to put on a new set in a few months, so how much will it cost?

Conversely, Ning Weimin used a tailor who "made inches" to tailor clothes for the girls, but it was different.

You know, there has always been a reputation in Beijing that "men's clothing should go to Raymond, and women's clothing should be made in inches".

It is because these two stores once undertook all the garment-making tasks of the leaders.

Before the 60s, the clothes of our leaders and the dresses of several first ladies only came from these two stores.

Like the "Red Capital", which is becoming popular now, it is only a rising star.

It's all because "The Movement" blocked "Raymond".It just had the chance to take over the banner of making menswear.

Therefore, the craftsmanship of "making inches" alone is valuable, and the investment comparable to the equipment costs of overseas personnel is destined to not be wasted.

In terms of fit, it is better than the clothes directly passed on to Pierre Carton.

In addition, in 1980, our civil aviation had just left the Air Force, and the uniforms of the flight attendants became more beautiful.

Ning Weimin made further changes on the basis of style and color.

He asked for a slimmer cut and changed the blue of his uniform to black.

Finally, according to the future matching mode, each girl was equipped with two Pierre Carton silk scarves manufactured in the Republic and exported to Europe.

It is no exaggeration to say that such clothes can really look like luxury.

Even more like a flight attendant than a real flight attendant, it's already a bit Japanese.

On the day when the first fitting was completed, not to mention the girl who put on the dress was very happy and excited.

Even Huo Xin, the flight attendant leader, was surprised.

They also didn't expect that Ning Weimin's modified tooling would be so effective.

This made both of them extremely envious.

Huo Xin immediately asked to make a body for himself.

Of course, Ning Weimin couldn't refuse, so he had to vomit blood, and spent another four hundred to make an additional order for her.

The flight attendant leader has nothing to do, and her envy can only be envied in vain.

At most, I felt that Li Gui had surpassed Li Kui in my heart.

However, it has to be said that the effect of these investments is very obvious.

Because when these girls improve their image and behavior day by day.

Ning Weimin could also clearly feel that there were more and more visitors to the Zhai Palace, and the time they stayed was obviously longer.

Many male tourists are reluctant to leave, especially those who come to buy clothes, and often stay in the coffee shop of the West Side Hospital for a while.

Especially when the new uniform is put on again, it's completely finished!

Although in Ning Weimin's view, his changed clothes are still very traditional.

The girls didn't even wear skirts, just trousers.

But that day, not only the flow of people in the exhibition hall gradually stagnated.

The coffee shop was also full, and there were a few Hong Kong city tourists in Hong Kong-style costumes, who had nothing to say to the girls.

This effect is probably as sensational as Kang Shude said when a female shop assistant appeared for the first time in the capital.

The old man told Ning Weimin about this gossip while drinking.

In the past, regardless of the size of the business, no matter whether it was in charge of accounts or standing at the counter, there were absolutely no female shop assistants.

Even if it is a state agency, there is no such thing as a female employee.

But in the 16th year of the Republic of China, this customary rule was broken by a rather "quack" brand name.

That is Wangfujing Street, the "[-]" stationery company diagonally opposite Dong'an Shopping Center, the first two "girls" were hired to sell pencil erasers at the counter.

it is good!That's amazing!

The supply is simply in short supply, especially college students, as if they don't want money, they are rushing for it!

As a result, the order was chaotic, and the patrolmen were called in.

Therefore, in view of the lessons of history, Ning Weimin acted decisively and made the decision to temporarily clear the venue for the first time on the grounds of equipment maintenance.

After that, he would apply to the park management office, and he was willing to pay for the park to have three or four security personnel on patrol here for a long time.

And complained to the girls again about the discipline, and you can't talk about non-work content with tourists and customers during working hours.
