Chapter 96: Close it, close it

in the afternoon.

Xian Yaowen was cutting the threads of shirts at his desk, while thinking about how to rationally allocate the thread cutting and packaging processes to ensure that every shirt sold has no thread defects, without causing redundancy and increasing personnel expenses.

Just as he was thinking about something and recording it on paper, Li Hailun came to him with two pieces of drawing paper in his hand.

"General manager."

"Helen, what's the matter?" Xian Yaowen said without moving his hands or raising his head.

"I have designed two bras, and I would like you to take a look." There was a hint of excitement in Li Helen's tone.

Xian Yaowen frowned and said calmly: "I don't have time to read it now. You put it down first and I'll call you after I read it."

"Ok."

Li Hailun put the drawing paper on the desk, then carefully took the document next to it and pressed it down on a small corner of the drawing paper so that it would not be blown away by the wind and remain visible.

Whispering, Xian Yaowen held the pen and wrote half a page in the notebook before he stopped, put on the pen cap, put the pen aside, and then turned to take a look at the drawing paper.

After reading the first one, pick up the drawing paper and look at the second one.

Then, he put the drawing paper back on the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The first of Li Hailun’s two design drafts was not her own idea. It should have been inspired by Posēs, a strapless adhesive bra designed by a guy who started out as a car electroplater. Perhaps he had been working with cars too much. The shape of Posēs is very It's like a car light. When a woman wears this thing, it's like wearing two car headlights. It's a very crappy design.

The second design has its own ideas. It draws on the characteristics of Myrobalan in the Tang Dynasty to ensure the realization of a semi-revealing skirt. It also combines the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty's acacia placket, which is tied from back to front, and the buttons are designed in the front. , covered up with lace, the thought is quite clever and has merit.

It's just that Li Hailun's intention to report beyond the level is not advisable. She came to him directly without going through Xu Leping. Her motive for trying to get the upper hand was clear at a glance, but it was a bit stupid. People from various departments gathered together to work, and her actions were all Fall into everyone's eyes.

"Manager Zhong, come here." Xian Yaowen called to the office area of ​​the Human Resources Department. When Zhong Lin came to him, he ordered: "Add 1.5 points to Li Hailun's evaluation. The reason is that he works proactively."

"clear."

"Manager Zhang, come here." Before Zhong Lin could leave, Xian Yaowen called Zhang Yang to him again and ordered: "Add 15 yuan to Li Hailun's reward this month."

After ordering the two to leave, Xian Yaowen loudly called Xu Leping to him, picked up Li Hailun's second design draft and showed it to him.

"Director Xu, I think Helen's design is good and very thoughtful, but it lacks practical considerations." As he spoke, he took a pen and clicked on two places on the design draft, "Here, here, need to Make it wider, otherwise it won't be strong enough to hold up your breasts.

There are also buttons here that need to be reinforced, otherwise they will fall apart easily. The lace needs to be improved. The current lace design is too large and difficult to match with clothes, and it is easy to overwhelm the guest..."

After commenting on the design draft, Xian Yaowen added: "If there is a new design in the future, we in the Design & Pattern Making Department will go through it ourselves first. When we come up with a mature design, make a version and then give it to me for review. I will approve it." I will give you a flexible fund to purchase fabrics. If you are short of pattern-making fabrics, you can go to Sham Shui Po to purchase them on your own.

Director Xu, your responsibilities include design and management. You must focus on both tasks. You must not lose sight of one or the other. "

Xu Leping nodded in agreement.

Xian Yaowen picked up the first design draft lying next to him, "In a few days, I will ask a lawyer to give you scientific knowledge about patent infringement. I will also order you all fashion magazines related to clothing. Read the fashion magazines for you." For you guys, it’s not leisure, it’s part of your job, so catch it.”

"clear."

"Go ahead."

Xu Leping left with a trace of evil on his face.

Xian Yaowen sat for a while, left the office, walked outside the factory, and found a corner to stand.

He glanced at his watch and lit a cigar.

After slowly sucking up half of it, putting it out and putting it away, I didn't rush back to the office. I squatted down and pulled out a few grass stems, and played a game of grass fighting.

In the office, since Xian Yaowen left, there have been people whispering to each other. The voices were so soft that no one else could hear them except the person talking. After Xu Leping returned to his office, he called Helen Li to him, conveyed Xian Yaowen's revision opinions to her, and then wrote the first design draft, emphasizing the importance of originality.

When there was a piece of broken grass lying at his feet, Xian Yaowen glanced at his watch again before getting up and returning to the office.

At about three o'clock, Lin Xingliang came back from Li's call and brought back a bit of bad news - Li Wo agreed to be the spokesperson, but the asking price was not low, 26,000 a year, which was a fixed minimum, and in addition to the sales share, The numbers haven't been finalized yet.

Have a meeting with everyone in the office to discuss the value of Li.

It is said to be a discussion of value, but in fact it is more like a tea party. You say something to me, saying that the seven aunts, the eight aunts, and the old Wang Xiaoli next door like Li Me and so on, and you like Li Me and so on...

However, for Xian Yaowen, these contents have great reference value, because there are differences in time, space, and eras in the present. He has always made an objective evaluation of Li Wo without subjective identification, and he cannot share it with other people who like Li Wo. People empathize.

The decision to hire Li Wo as the spokesperson was based on cold business theories and marketing formulas. It lacked the very important warmth between people and could not rationally understand why radio fans thought Li Wo’s farts were fragrant. , which is fatal, because at the same time he cannot touch the minds of consumers who buy the same shirts as Li and me.

Now, the chatter in the office made him vaguely grasp the word "identity", and he had a more accurate assessment of Li Wo's value.

The conclusion is to continue the discussion and the deal will not be a loss.

After the meeting, Xian Yaowen told Lin Xingliang to continue to contact Li Wo, and after arranging several other things that needed to be done tomorrow morning, he got off work early and went home.

At exactly five o'clock, he and Su Lizhen appeared on Yonge Street next to Des Voeux Road, where department stores are concentrated. They couldn't find a parking place nearby on Des Voeux Road, so they had to park on Yonge Street. Due to the parking issue, they planned to go first. The two people from Shi Department Store entered the Dah Hsin Department Store, which faces Yonghe Street.

It’s the same everywhere, and there’s no reason for the two of them to go to Xianshi Department Store. Besides, the department stores here on Des Voeux Road are not much different. The big four (Xianshi, Wing On, Da Sun, and Chung Hwa) are all opened by Xiangshan people who returned from Australia. of.

First Shi Shi, then others. Cai Xing, the second largest shareholder and largest shareholder of Daxin Department Store, Cai Chang’s brother Cai Xing, is 81 years old. According to the newspaper, Xian Shi is still working as a senior executive.

Half of the history of department stores in the Republic of China was located in Xiangshan (now Zhuhai and Zhongshan). The prototype of domestic modern department stores was founded by this group of Xiangshan people, and they also pioneered the practice of clear prices.

[One talks about the Qin Dynasty, the second talks about the Han Dynasty, and the third talks about the Song Dynasty. All of them have formulated laws that must clearly state the actual price. It is difficult to trace the ancient ones. In modern times, it started with the Xianshi Company and learned from the Australian Anthony Hordern Company. ). ]
Because she is a woman, Su Lizhen likes to visit department stores.

As soon as she entered the Dah Sing Department Store, she was like a tigress coming out of the cage, like Spike chasing Tom, pulling Xian Yaowen directly into the doghouse and walking like flying. She would surround the counter when she saw it, no matter what it was selling, even the hardware counter, she could do it After looking at it for a while, I would innocently ask Xian Yaowen if the hinges were good-looking.

The first floor of Dah Sing Department Store sells all kinds of gadgets, including socks, gloves, towels, handkerchiefs, hats, underwear, bathroom supplies, umbrellas, parasols, etc., Su Lizhen has a great time shopping. I was so happy that I walked between the counters for half an hour, taking this and looking at that, and the salesperson was tossing around. I didn't buy anything, so I changed the counter, and the salesperson continued to toss.

With the one-hour experience yesterday, Xian Yaowen was not that tired. Anyway, he was just following me mechanically. She looked at hers, and he thought about his own.

It was also an hour-long experience yesterday that made him realize that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Retail talents do not necessarily have to be found in grocery stores and supermarkets. Department store managers and salespeople can become chain stores immediately if they change their thinking slightly. Talents.

If it weren't for this discovery, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to visit the department store yesterday.

Passing one counter after another, Su Lizhen was busy looking at the products, and Xian Yaowen was also busy observing the salesperson's micro-expressions. As for Su Lizhen's endless efforts to not buy anything, it was normal for the salesperson to scold her under her professional smile, but he wanted to start from normal. Find someone who is abnormal among people.

When Su Lizhen was teasing the salesperson at the foreign wine counter, Xian Yaowen, who had noticed the salesperson from the previous counter, was paying more attention than before. Su Lizhen had already asked her to take the fifth bottle of foreign wine, but in the blind spot of Su Lizhen's vision, her eyes and mouth were not. When something strange happened, he immediately became interested.

Regardless of whether the salesperson has a strong heart or a strong disguise, as long as she shows impeccable enthusiasm to customers and does not let customers notice her impatience, then she is a great counter girl and the talent he wants.

Not knowing what was so good about foreign wine, Su Lizhen unintentionally cooperated with Xian Yaowen and asked the salesperson to take the foreign wine from the counter bottle after bottle. She almost looked at all the foreign wine on the counter. The salesperson wore a professional smile from beginning to end. Out of shape.

Xian Yaowen took out a one-yuan note from his pocket, tore off a bevel, wrote the store's phone number on it, and wrote a few words on the edge. When Su Lizhen was about to change positions, he beveled the note. Put it on the counter and mouth to the salesperson, "Call me."

When Xian Yaowen turned around, he was pulled to the handbag counter by Su Lizhen. The salesperson picked up the beveled corner of the banknotes on the counter. At first glance, he saw the phone number written in a very large size, and then he noticed the text on the side. At a glance, His face showed shame and anger, he rubbed the banknotes into a ball with his fingers, and uttered the word "hooligan" in his mouth.

Just as she was about to throw the paper ball in her hand to the ground, she cleverly hid her hands behind the counter, used both hands to straighten the diagonal corners of the banknotes, then folded them in half and stuffed them quietly into her pocket.

A cure-all for all ailments, handbags are what women love and they can’t get too many of them. When she arrived at the handbag counter, Su Lizhen didn’t just watch the fun, she looked at it with the urge to buy, and interacted with Xian Yaowen, “With my Do the clothes match? Do they look good when I carry them?" Questions like this came one after another, leaving him no time to worry about the salesperson's reaction, otherwise he would know that the whole thing was over.

Su Lizhen didn't sleep well last night and was very ill. She had to take two packs of medicine at a time. Xian Yaowen didn't say anything and asked the salesperson to write a prescription. He went to the cashier and paid for it. He took one pack of medicine and gave her the other pack. Eat on the spot.

Carrying the medicine to the next counter, Su Lizhen shyly wanted to pull Xian Yaowen to jump to the next one, but Xian Yaowen stayed in place and pointed directly at a product for the salesperson to take a look at. When the product was available, he looked at it first and then touched it. Pulling, not caring at all about the perverted looks from the salesperson and the nurse next to him.
