Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 505 An Hong’s worries!
Feixue Clothing.Yangcheng Branch!

In the spacious office, Li Yi and An Hong sat opposite each other. There was a teapot and two cups on a small coffee table between them.

An Hong poured tea for Li Yi and said, "I really didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Haha, I just happened to see this store, so I wanted to come in and have a look!"

Then Li Yi asked again: "Sister-in-law, how is business during this time?"

"I was just about to talk to you about this. If I hadn't met you today, I would have planned to go back to the capital at the end of the month. This will save trouble!" An Hong said with a smile.

"That's a coincidence!" Li Yi said.

"According to your plan, starting in March, I took my team members south along the coastline and opened stores in major cities along the way. So far, we have opened a total of 3 stores, covering 107 stores in 12 provinces and cities across the country. A big city.”

Then, An Hong continued: "Because our clothing styles are novel and of excellent quality, and we put forward the slogan that if there are quality problems, you can return or exchange goods at any time, the sales performance of each store is very good. We alone have 5 direct-operated stores. Monthly sales reached 1287 million yuan."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded.

In more than five months, 107 stores were opened and nearly 1300 million yuan of goods were sold, which is indeed amazing in this era.

You must know that the net profit of the gambling agreement he signed with the cotton spinning factory is only 2000 million yuan, and the direct-operated store alone has completed one-third of the task.

"What about other sales channels? What's the situation like?"

An Hong immediately said: "Other sales channels are also very popular. According to your plan, our sales team will advance along the Jinpu Railway and Pinghan Railway, cooperate with the supply and marketing system along the way, and open up 243 inland areas. Sales channels in counties and cities.”

"As of last month, the shipment volume through cooperation channels has reached 1875 million yuan, and the momentum is very strong!"

"So, the total sales of Feixue Clothing in the past few months have reached more than 3100 million yuan?"

"Not only that, the sales for the first half of August have not been calculated yet. If you include these, it will be at least 8 million!"

"so much?"

Based on Li Yi's understanding of the clothing industry, the cost of sales of 4000 million will never exceed 1000 million.

And for large factories like the Second National Cotton Factory that even produce their own raw materials, the cost will be even lower.

In other words, the net profit of the Second National Cotton Factory has definitely exceeded 2000 million, and the gambling agreement between him and the above was completed without knowing it.

"Yes, starting from July, the sales of all our channels have entered a blowout development. We sold 7 million goods in one month in July, and it is expected to be more this month!" An Hong replied.

"Can the cotton spinning factory be busy?" Li Yi said.

"Yes, Factory Director Jiang once again carried out a large-scale recruitment expansion at the garment factory last month, recruiting 800 employees at once to expand reproduction."

Then, An Hong said again: "At present, half of the cotton spinning factory is used to produce clothes, and the rest belongs to the textile workshop!"

"Well, it's right to seize the opportunity to expand production capacity, but the steps are still a bit small!" Li Yi said.

"I also think Factory Director Jiang is a bit conservative. The leaders at the main factory don't know how popular our factory's clothes are. At present, the clothes we produce are in short supply no matter where they are. Many stores It’s often out of stock!”

Then An Hong said again: "So last month I reported to the main factory and applied to double the size of the garment factory, but the application was rejected by the main factory!"

"Why was it rejected?"

"The main factory thinks my proposal is too risky!"

"Stupid, they are all frogs in the well. All they see is a sky as big as a palm." Then Li Yi said again: "If we don't seize the market quickly before others can react, other textile factories will also have to wait. When you step in to get a share of the pie, the money won’t be as easy to make!”

"Well, the second thing I said is exactly this!" An Hong said.

"What, there are already competitors on the market?"

"Yes, we discovered that just after our Feixue Clothing entered Shanghai, several textile factories here were secretly imitating our clothes and selling them on the market!"

Then An Hong continued: "Because the price of the other party's clothes is much lower than ours, the sales situation is also very good. As expected, this situation will soon spread across the country, so we must think Find a way to deal with it!”

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "This cannot be stopped. The only thing we can do is to build the golden brand of Feixue Clothing and quickly seize the market."

If it were left abroad, Li Yi would have countless ways to deal with this situation, such as making full use of patent laws to prohibit others from copying his own designs.

But this is not popular in China at the moment. Although the relevant patent laws have existed since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the special social environment, administrative compulsory management plays an important role in the management process of intellectual property rights, resulting in patent laws being just a decoration. .

Although we have joined the World Intellectual Property Organization last year, we have also started a new round of intellectual property legislative activities.

But the real Patent Law will not be promulgated and implemented until three or four years. During this period, it is impossible to prohibit others from copying their designs.

An Hong nodded and said, "Then you still have to go back and talk to Factory Director Jiang and the others about this matter. We have already been challenged!"

"Okay! Is there anything else?"

"Yes, and I also want to ask, what should we do in the future?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Li Yi would not understand what she meant, An Hong then further explained: "Feixue Clothing, you have given it to the Second National Cotton Factory, and the factory is collective. At most, you can get some dividends, and the rest will be with you." It doesn’t matter.”

"And I don't need to mention it. I'm just a non-staff person you arranged here. As the operations here gradually get on track, the Second National Cotton Factory will definitely take back its power. What should we do then? manage?"

Li Yi didn't expect An Hong to think so long-term and start thinking about the future now. This mind is indeed enough to crush most of the elites of this era.

"We will definitely withdraw from the Second National Cotton Factory in the future, there is no doubt about this!"

Later, Li Yi said again: "But the things you are doing now are not all in vain. The "Feixue Clothing" project not only allows you to accumulate experience, but also allows you to use the Second National Cotton Factory This golden brand of one of the country’s leading manufacturers has accumulated contacts and formed its own team.”

"When the time is right, you can withdraw from the Second National Cotton Factory and take over new projects!"

Hearing this, An Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she asked: "When will the time be mature?"

"It depends on the policy and the development on your side. I estimate that two or three years at most will be enough!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, then I will work hard on the "Feixue Clothing" project now!" An Hong said.

"Okay, you don't have to worry that the Second National Cotton Factory will kick you out in a short time. As long as my third brother is still in the position of director, and as long as the higher-ups still recognize the agreement between us, no one can touch you!" Li Yi said.

"I understand!"

Li Yi looked at his watch and found that it was almost twelve o'clock, and then said: "Sister-in-law, it's just dinner time, let's have a meal together!"

"Okay, I happen to know that there is a delicious state-owned restaurant nearby!" An Hong said with a smile.

"That's daring!"

With that said, the two left the Yangcheng branch together.
