Chapter 95 Expanding Communication
Consumer places related to Shanghai are generally not cheap, and Xinning Restaurant is one of the best. An ordinary steak costs nine yuan.

In the radio listening group in front of Shiduo Store, there is a female listener who often talks about her cousin, saying that her cousin is a Western-style chef in Shanghai and earns 700 to 800 yuan a month.

This is a large number. The salary of most factory directors in the textile industry is only between 100 and 200 yuan. Including various forms of bonuses at the end of the year, the average monthly salary is less than 250 yuan.

When the steak was on the table, Xian Yaowen cut off a piece and tasted it. He immediately understood that the price of the steak includes six yuan and ninety-eight cents in terms of status, eight cents and four cents in environment, and the remaining one dollar and one cent and four cents can be regarded as the value of the steak itself. .

Su Lizhen had probably never been to a Western restaurant. Her gestures for holding a knife and fork were a bit awkward, and she was not stable when cutting meat.

Xian Yaowen brought her dinner plate in front of him, showed her how to hold a knife and fork, explained the techniques of cutting meat, and cut her steak.

Su Lizhen was a little embarrassed at first, secretly observing other people's reactions, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she calmed down and enjoyed Xian Yaowen's thoughtfulness with peace of mind.

Passing Su Lizhen's dinner plate back to her, Xian Yaowen continued to cut the steak and eat the meat, while talking to Sophia who was diagonally opposite.

"The silk scarf is very beautiful, and the way to tie it is also very special. It has the style of Katherine Hepburn."

"Really?" Sophia put down her fork and stroked her silk scarf, "I also think this method is very special, but it's not Katharine Hepburn's style. Adam, do you know Elizabeth Taylor?"

"I've seen this name, but I'm not familiar with it."

Putting long silk scarves into your belt is a trend just started by the little girl Elizabeth Taylor. Recently, fashionable girls in the West like to imitate this way of tying silk scarves. Photos of Taylor have been published in many fashion magazines. It just so happens that Xian Yaowen There are so many books in my study room.

"She is a good actress and will definitely shine in the future."

"Really?"

"uh-huh."

"I'll go to the cinema to watch her videos. Sophia, with all due respect, you can try a contrasting silk scarf next time. You just need to tie it simply around your neck, exposing half of your neck, and pair it with a V-neck dress. , I believe it will be more suitable for you."

Sophia subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her chest, "Really?"

"uh-huh."

"Sofia, you can try Adam's suggestion. He is the owner of a clothing company and a professional." William Chen beat the drum and said to Xian Yaowen: "Adam, when will Chinese Clothing officially open?"

"I plan to set it on May 5st, and the invitations to the opening ceremony will be sent out soon." Xian Yaowen said, looking at Sophia, "Sofia, can I invite you to attend?"

"I am very honored."

"Adam, is this an auspicious day?"

"William, Zhonghua Garment mainly deals with Westerners, so I set the opening time on International Labor Day, a day that is a holiday all over the world, without looking at the imperial calendar."

It is impossible for Xian Yaowen not to read the imperial calendar. Even if he doesn't think much about auspicious days in his heart, he must care about the feelings of other people in the factory. Tomorrow is the auspicious day for opening, and the factory internally plans to officially open tomorrow. Correct Doing the right things every day will add a mental bonus to the people in the factory, and everyone will have more confidence in the factory.

William Chen asked again: “When will the product start to be sold externally?”

"It will take some time. I will go to Paris soon to prepare for the product launch there."

William Chen smiled lightly, "Adam, you have great ambitions to hold a product launch conference in the fashion capital."

Xian Yaowen shrugged, "My products are priced very high and I can't sell a few units in Hong Kong. If I can't break into the European market, I'm not far away from bankruptcy."

William Chen picked up the wine glass and said, "I wish you success." "Thank you." Xian Yaowen raised his glass in response.

After a sip of wine, the conversation between the two continued. William Chen glanced at Cheryl inadvertently and said in a low voice: "Adam, did you specially invite Cheryl?"

"Hmm, she came to Hong Kong not long ago and doesn't know many people. I invite her to come over and get to know you, a fellow countryman."

"So, what kind of business are you working with her on?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "William, are you short of money recently?"

“There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not short of money.”

"What a coincidence, so am I." Xian Yaowen raised his glass to Cheryl, took a sip, and then said to William Chen: "Cheryl and I are only cooperating in the gold and western medicine business for the time being, and we will do more business in the future. Expand into other areas.”

William Chen thought for a while and said, "Has it started yet?"

"In preparation, the business is too big and more people need to participate to share the fruits of victory."

"I?"

"William, we are partners."

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, raised their glasses and clinked their glasses, invisibly completing a new tacit understanding.

"Adam, it's best to invite Sophia to participate, you will need her."

"That's what I meant." Xian Yaowen nodded, and said solemnly: "William, don't use words too casually, and don't use 'you' where 'we' should be used."

William Chen smiled and said: "Yes, Sir."

After clinking glasses again, Xian Yaowen turned his head to the other side, whispered to Su Lizhen for a while, and then acted as a translator so that the three women could chat together.

After finishing the staple food and waiting for the flame-baked snow-capped dessert to be served, the three girls were already chatting about a scene. You took a spoonful and I took a spoonful, scooping out the ice cream and cake. You and I talked about everything from silk scarves to clothes to skirts. Then came the cheongsam worn by Su Lizhen, which was very lively.

Su Lizhen enjoyed this chat very much. On the way home, she reminisced with Xian Yaowen in the car.

Before formally negotiating the distribution of benefits, he must know the identity of Sophia's husband, otherwise it would be difficult to grasp the amount of benefits allocated to her.

Compared with his heavy thoughts, Su Lizhen was much more relaxed and happy. She waited for him to take a bath and gave him a basin of water for washing his feet. She hummed a little song and walked around every corner of her feet, refusing to let go of any stains. Then, rub the instep with your thumb, poke your index finger between the toes to stir, and rub your heels and soles to feel if there is any dead skin.

Xian Yaowen felt that Su Lizhen was very good like this. In order for this kind of beauty to last well, he lost some sleep time and worked hard in the next two or three hours. This also caused Su Lizhen to walk with soreness and numbness in the early morning. Legs, holding the basin, shuttled between the bedroom and the bathroom.

If someone asked her if she had been wronged or if she was tired, she would definitely spit and scold her for meddling in other people's business.

……

the next day.

A large string of firecrackers was set off at the entrance of Zhonghua Garments. Xian Yaowen gave a red envelope to everyone in the factory. At noon, a sumptuous and meaningful meal was cooked in the canteen, including soybean stewed pig's trotters, which is known as a money grabber. There are two hard dishes of Braised Carp from the Longmen Festival every year, as well as several ingredients with very auspicious names. Everyone in the factory has something to eat and take away, and they are all having fun together.

After eating and drinking, in the afternoon, the lively atmosphere of the opening immediately disappeared. Everyone performed their duties and steadily drove the chariot of Zhonghua Garments.
