Counterattack 1988

Chapter 947 Whoever wins women wins the world
In the morning, Guo Lingling came to the company to clock in for work.

The punch card time attendance machine is really a thing that makes workers feel miserable. This thing was invented in the middle and late 19th century and is a product of industrialization. With it, the commuting time of office workers will be recorded down to the minute.

Mo Daojun travels early, and there are even early pedestrians.

Guo Lingling thought that she came early, but who knew that Jin Yue in the office came earlier than her.

"Jin Yue, are you here so early?" Guo Lingling sat down in her seat,
"I have to sort out the orders from last night and distribute them to the various factories below. Mr. Wang told me yesterday." Jin Yue said without raising her head, "I'll be here at six o'clock."

"Yo, then you can work overtime for several hours."

The company's secretarial staff at the headquarters are full attendance by punching cards, and the time outside of normal work is considered a plus point.

Because they often need to work overtime, such regulations also give the secretarial staff more freedom.And those who can be secretaries are all people trusted by the company's leaders, so there is no such thing as a fake clock-in but actually off-duty situation.If this is the case, the job will disappear after a few times.

Guo Lingling sat down, and suddenly saw the lipstick on Jin Yue's lips, and asked, "Have you changed your lipstick?"

"Yeah." Jin Yue smiled lightly, and said with a little smugness, "Mr. Wang sent it."

"Sent by Mr. Wang? Is it from France, not fading?" Guo Lingling asked.

"That's right. How do you know?" Jin Yue looked up at her, "Hey, yours was changed too?"

"Mine is also from Mr. Wang!" Guo Lingling didn't know what to say for a while.

She thought that Wang Lin only gave her lipstick, so she was happy for a long time, and even had many charming thoughts, who knew that Mr. Wang was so fraternal?
Si Qing walked in, and said with a smile, "Are you all so angry? I thought I rushed early today! It turned out that I came later than you."

Guo Lingling stared at her.

Si Qing pouted: "Did you notice that I'm different?"

Guo Lingling widened her eyes and nodded, "Have you changed your lipstick too?"

"That's right, Mr. Wang gave it to me!" Si Qing giggled, "Mr. Wang told me that I will use this kind of non-fading lipstick at work in the future, otherwise it will stick everywhere, and it will be ugly."

"..."

Guo Lingling was completely speechless.

She stopped discussing this matter, and first entered Wang Lin's office, helped tidy up the desk, cleaned it, and then carefully made a cup of tea and put it on Wang Lin's desk. After finishing all this, she returned to her seat.

Wang Lin's working hours today are also earlier than usual.

The three secretaries got up together and greeted Wang Lin with smiles: "Mr. Wang, good morning."

"Okay!" Wang Lin nodded, walked to the door, and said while pushing the door, "Notify all the factory directors, managers and above, the meeting will be held on time at [-]:[-]! No absence without reason."

"Yes, Mr. Wang." Guo Lingling agreed.

A few minutes later, Guo Lingling came in to report to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

Guo Lingling did not leave immediately.

Wang Lin looked up at her: "Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Wang, did you give away that lipstick to everyone?" Guo Lingling asked a little aggrieved.

"Oh, you three secretaries, two for each."

"I thought you only gave me one person!"

"Good things, of course we should share them together!"

"..."

Guo Lingling gave a helpless wry smile, turned around and came out.

Li Jiaxin called.

Most of the merchants on the Xiangjiang side just issued a signing intention yesterday, and the formal signing started today.

Li Jiaxin mentioned one thing, some buyers said that they wanted to sign a contract with a company in Heung Kong, and the company in Heung Kong would subcontract it to a company in the Mainland.

This procedure may seem redundant, but for some companies, it may be very necessary.

Buyers who can only participate in the sub-venue in Xiangjiang are temporarily unable to come to the mainland for various reasons. This phenomenon did exist before the 90s.

Wang Lin expressed his understanding, saying that as long as the contract is formal.

The orders received at the fashion week are all OEMs, and everything is based on the needs of customers.

After the two finished talking about work, they chatted affectionately, and then ended the call.

At half past nine, Wang Lin came to the conference room on time.

Guo Lingling followed him.

"Have you counted the number of people?" Wang Lin glanced at the meeting room.

Wang Lin knew who was coming and who wasn't at the first glance of the factory director and managers.

But it is also the proper meaning of the title to roll the name before the meeting starts.

Guo Lingling glanced at the registration form, checked the actual number of people present, and said, "Mr. Wang, only Mr. Jiang from the R&D department did not come."

Wang Lin's face was calm, and he couldn't see any changes: "Have you asked for leave?"

"When I called President Jiang, she didn't ask for leave." Guo Lingling replied.

Wang Lin looked at Zhou Boqiang.

Zhou Boqiang shook his head lightly, expressing that he didn't know.

Wang Lin raised his wrist to check the time and waved his hand: "It's time, let's start the meeting, don't wait for her."

At the very beginning here, Jiang Yao appeared at the door, apparently running over, a little out of breath.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I'm late." Jiang Yao blushed.

"Come in!" Wang Lin didn't say much.

Jiang Yao bent over, walked quickly into the conference room and took a seat.

Wang Lin held a meeting.

This meeting is mainly to summarize the fashion week and arrange the production of the next season.

Wang Lin's tone was sonorous and forceful: "Dear colleagues, with the joint efforts of everyone, our second fashion week has finally come to a successful conclusion. I am generally satisfied with this fashion week!"

Before everyone could laugh out loud, Wang Lin made a turning point: "But!"

Everyone couldn't help but straightened their waists and sat upright.

Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "The existing problems should not be underestimated. Of course, this is caused by our lack of experience. I will not criticize anyone."

This dismounting, pulled everyone out of a kind of excited victory mood.

Everyone's mood was originally floating in the clouds, just waiting to hear Wang Lin's praise!
After all, yesterday's performance can be called very brilliant.

But Wang Lin's words instantly made everyone feel that yesterday's results were not good.

Wang Lindao: "Before analyzing our shortcomings, let me tell you some statistics. You must also know that there are several famous fashion weeks in the world. Do you know that each of these fashion weeks How much economic benefit can the press conference generate?"

When he said this, he paused slightly and glanced at everyone.

No one answered.

Wang Lin said: "Don't you all know? Zhou Zhou, do you know?"

Zhou Congee shook his head: "I don't understand."

Wang Lindao: "I don't blame you, because you haven't participated in the biggest fashion week in the world. Let me tell you about it!"

In New York Fashion Week, each press conference and about 500 shows can attract more than 20 people to participate, and the economic benefit can reach 8-10 US dollars.

This number is higher than important events and activities such as the US Open, the New York Marathon and the American Football Super Bowl Final.

New York's fashion industry employs more than 18 employees, accounting for 5.4% of New York's overall workforce, paying $116 billion in salaries and contributing $14 billion in taxes each year; There are a total of 308 activities specially designed for women.The exclusive agency IMG TV broadcast a total of 100 fashion shows; the main venue of New York Fashion Week took three weeks to set up.

米兰时装周有67场秀，包含 68个品牌，其中Armani有2场，此外还有88场展示活动；米兰时装周期间的酒店入住率达 90%，其中9月8日到10日期间达95%；时装周期间，米兰及周边地区的酒店收入高达1500万欧元。

London Fashion Week, its fashion industry has directly contributed more than 200 billion pounds to the country's GDP!

Not to mention the largest Paris Fashion Week, it also brings the largest direct economic benefits.

These are just peripheral benefits, without counting the huge profits of Fashion Week itself.

Wang Lin mentioned these figures in order to let everyone have a comparison, and at the same time have an expectation for the future of Fashion Week.

"Our fashion week, except for the foreign businessmen who participated in the exhibition, did not attract more foreign tourists. The absolute majority of those who came to watch the fashion show were our compatriots. And most of them were male audiences. Did they come to see fashion? I guess it looks more like a beautiful model, right?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

However, Wang Lin did not laugh.

Everyone's smiles turned into embarrassment, and then stopped abruptly.

Wang Lindao: "The gap between us and the international fashion week is very obvious! We still have a long way to go to turn Aixiu Fashion Week into a world-renowned fashion brand. In the fashion industry, whoever wins women wins the world!" In the future, we will have to figure out how to attract female audiences.”

Zhou Xia raised her hand and said, "Mr. Wang, I probably know something about this."

"Tell me." Wang Lin nodded.

Zhou Xia said: "Many women are shy and dare not go to the catwalk. Many women around me think so."

"Shy? Afraid of watching catwalks?" Wang Lin asked in confusion, "Why? What kind of psychology is this?"

"Because in their inherent impression, catwalks are more revealing, and it is also the behavior of bad women."

"Oh!" Wang Lin fell into silence.

Domestic women's fashion awareness has not yet awakened!
In this era, it's not something that can be solved by Wang Lin alone, nor can it be solved by holding two fashion shows.

Chen Fan smiled and said: "I am also a woman, and I also have the right to speak. To be honest, before I joined the Aixiu Group, I had never seen a fashion show. I am a relatively generous person, and the people I usually contact There are many, but things like catwalks are really rare.”

Zhang Handao: "I heard that some dance halls also have catwalks and sell clothes. It may be that these people have spoiled the atmosphere."

Deng Dabao said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, there is a long way to go to change the sentiment of domestic women. If we can often broadcast some catwalk clips on the TV station and package the catwalk as a high-end and fashionable existence, over time, maybe It can change the world's prejudice against catwalks."

Wang Lindao: "Mr. Deng's opinion is very good. Problems exist. What we need to do now is to find ways to solve these problems."

Jiang Yao said: "The catwalk is a niche event, and it is impossible for the general public to like it. I think our fashion show should take a high, refined, and cutting-edge route. The people in the show are different, and Now our shows are trying to target ordinary women. In this way, high-end people don’t look up to them, and ordinary people are not interested.”

Deng Dabao said: "Mr. Jiang, you are serious! Our Xiuzhilin clothing has been facing the general public since the day it was established."

Other vice presidents also joined in the discussion. Some people think that the taste of catwalks should be improved, and some people think that they should stick to the civilian route.

Wang Lin was also lost in thought, and his understanding of Fashion Week was not that deep.

For this kind of thing, in his past and present lives, he was also crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In his previous life, his business had a capital of only [-] million yuan, so he couldn't afford to open a fashion week, and there was no need to participate in a fashion week.

Wang Lin's experience also comes from the accumulation of his own life, as well as from newspapers and magazines.

So, he has been learning by doing.

Hold one session, sum up the experience and lessons, and the next session will be better.

In fact, the fastest way is to go out and watch other fashion weeks. This is the fastest way to learn.

Wang Lin pressed his hands and waited for everyone's discussion to calm down before he said: "The so-called high-tech and civilian are not in conflict. There are dozens or even hundreds of fashion shows in fashion week, and we can take into account various styles. Everyone's comments are very pertinent, reminding me that our fashion week does have some problems now, that is, it is too civilian."

Jiang Yao said: "I have seen the activities of Aixiu Fashion Week, anyway, they are not very attractive to me, I thought they could be done better."

Li Wenjuan said: "Boss Jiang, don't just criticize, do you have any good suggestions?"

Jiang Yao said: "I don't mean to criticize, I'm just discussing the facts. I have an idea, which is to spread hero posts and invite designers from home and abroad to participate in the third Aixiu fashion show. Many designers work alone, they They don’t work in companies, but they have unique design theories and can complete some high-end clothing. Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom, and spring is full of flowers.”

Wang Lin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "This is a good idea! Attracting independent designers to participate in our fashion week can improve the brand more effectively! Designers can bring their own works to our fashion week, and they can contact our Models are customized and designed according to the models' figure and temperament. These high-end clothing can also be sold at Fashion Week, and we charge a certain entry fee."

Jiang Yao said: "Yes, that's what I mean. In this way, we can increase the popularity of Aixiu Fashion Week in the circle, and also attract colleagues from home and abroad to come and observe."

Wang Lindao: "The most important thing is that we can find innovative inspiration from the works of these designers! This is a good thing that serves multiple purposes! Do you have any ideas? You can put them forward and brainstorm!"

There was a meeting here, Jin Yue knocked on the door and came in, walked to Wang Lin, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, the leader of the political department is calling, please go and answer the phone immediately."

Wang Lin looked at the time and said to Zhou Boqiang: "Mr. Zhou, please chair the meeting, and I will leave."

Zhou Boqiang said hello, got up and walked onto the stage.

Wang Lin quickly left the venue and went to the office, thinking what was the big deal with the call from the political department at this hour?
