Rebirth 1986

Chapter 138 I Believe In You

"What's on it?" Zhao Jianguo asked curiously, and the workers' eyes were all on the blueprint.

"This is a couple's outfit, just like the one my husband and I wore before. Men's and women's clothing can match in style and color. It is usually sold to lovers or couples."

An Qing didn't hesitate while speaking, and unfolded another set of couple outfits. Compared with parent-child outfits, couple outfits are much simpler. Upholding her usual simple style, both men's and women's outfits are mid-length Windbreaker style, the front is double-breasted, the collar is more exaggerated and irregular trimming, some small patterns are made on the folds, and the old-fashioned oblique pockets are abandoned on the original pockets on both sides of the clothes, but made There are two large horizontal square pockets, and there are simple cuff buttons at the cuffs.

In addition, the waist of women's clothes is slightly tucked in, making a slight curve. Compared with the atmosphere of men's clothes, it is simple and elegant.

Although this blueprint looks simple, it is flattering from Zhao Jianguo's point of view. He didn't know how to pretend to be a parent and child before, but if this set of couple costumes is made, it will definitely become popular, and it doesn't have to be in the name of lovers. Selling, even if you separate the men's and women's clothes separately, it will be a big hit. Have you seen that Lenin's imitation clothes are also divided into men's and women's clothes?

So Zhao Jianguo directly made a decision, "These two styles are good, and they come out just in time for the occasion, and they can be sold before the New Year's Day, but Anqing, these two styles alone are not enough for Bailixing to support the facade, and the rest When will you be able to give the picture?"

An Qing thought for a while, "In a few days, I'm going to be busy with other things these days, and when I come to see the finished two sets of clothes, I'll bring them along, let them work overtime first You can make more clothes, especially the parent-child clothes, and separate them by size and color. Uncle Wang and the others are master craftsmen. It must be very easy to make some small changes on the cuffs, necklines and buttons. It's easy, and the sleeves can also be changed to make mandarin jackets, mid-sleeves and long-sleeves, and children's can be made into skirts and trousers, so that they become different styles, but you must pay attention, this dress cannot be made in black, white and gray , Try to choose bright and festive colors, so that they are pleasing enough."

Wang Dexiang and a few old masters listened to the side and nodded straight. Of course they know this. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, people nowadays are superstitious about it. Black, white and gray are taboo colors for Chinese New Year, even if they have no money. People will also find a way to get some sets of floral clothes, not to mention those people who come to Bailihang to buy clothes. Whoever has no spare money, why commit that taboo.

Seeing that they understood, An Qing continued: "As for the couple's outfit, I don't know much about the fabric, but after this kind of clothes are made, they should not look heavy but also keep warm, and they must have a drape, otherwise it will be easy to fall off." Folds, Uncle Wang, you have been in this business for so long, do you know what fabrics are suitable?"

Wang Dexiang propped his chin and thought for a long time before he said: "It is really not easy to do what you said, but there are two kinds of materials that have similar characteristics to what you said, but you have to try it to know if it will work. How about How about this, I will go back and discuss with a few other old guys before deciding what fabric to use, and try to do what you said."

"Well, you can discuss this slowly, but Uncle Wang, how long will it take for these sets of clothes to be made into finished samples? It can't be too late."

"If those of us put down the work at hand and concentrate on making it, the finished product can be produced in at most three days, and it will be much faster if we have samples and then follow suit."

"Okay, hurry up, Brother Zhao, and help me to look at these clothes as soon as possible so that they can be sold during the New Year's Eve." An Qing said to Zhao Jianguo.

Zhao Jianguo nodded, and looked at the other blueprints in Anqing's hand, "I know this, and I will hurry, but I see you still have some blueprints in your hand, what are they for?"

An Qing laughed, "This is not a drawing of clothes. Don't worry about the other things drawn on it. Brother Zhao. I have other things to do today so I won't stay with you. I will come back to see the finished product in three days. It’s time to revise and adjust.”

Zhao Jianguo glanced unwillingly at the paper in Anqing's hand, his heart was itching like a cat's scratch. Now he knows that Anqing's random drawing of a few pictures may bring big profits, so he doesn't want to let it go, " Show me if it’s not the clothes drawings, but you wandered around in front of me and didn’t show me, I feel like a cat scratching my head.”

An Qing looked at Zhao Jianguo's gossip silently, thought for a while, and her heart moved. In fact, what she had in her hand were some New Year pictures. She originally wanted to cooperate with Jiang Xiaoyun. Now that Zhao Jianguo wants to see it, it is the same to cooperate with him. Anyway, the two of them are also tied together on the clothing, and everyone earns money.

So she smiled and stopped being stingy, and asked Wang Dexiang to discuss with those workers, while she walked aside with Zhao Jianguo, and showed him the blueprint in her hand. Zhao Jianguo looked at the paper very much. The exquisite patterns couldn't help but wonder: "What are these?"

"New Year's picture." An Qing smiled, "Isn't it the New Year's Eve soon? I just want to make some small things to earn some New Year's money."

Zhao Jianguo laughed when he heard it. He knew that Anqing was not short of money, otherwise he would not have talked about building a factory so grandly before, but he found it strange that the New Year pictures at this time were all portraits of people and dolls, or The door god, the pattern painted by An Qing is simple and beautiful, with the words "surplus every year", "happy new year", "happy family" in artistic fonts... There are also some New Year pictures with fish and lotus patterns on it, but he is never seen it.

"This thing looks a bit like paper-cut?"

"Actually, it's similar to paper-cutting, except that you don't need to cut it yourself. There are not many people who know how to cut paper now, and people who celebrate the Chinese New Year are busy. If you have time to cut paper, it's better to buy a copy of the New Year's picture and go back. It is convenient and trouble-free to cut out the place and paste it on, and a New Year picture does not cost a few dollars.”

An Qing spread out the drawings, there were seven or eight sheets, and there were nearly twenty pictures densely drawn on them, and Zhao Jianguo also found that there were not only New Year pictures in those pictures, but also some fancy couplets, all of which were in harmony with each other. They were selected auspicious words, which An Qing copied from the book. In addition, An Qing also drew some small lanterns and big and small blessing characters. Zhao Jianguo was moved when he saw it.

"How are you going to make these things? You have to go to a paper mill and print them, and the paper lanterns have to be processed and pasted by someone. Can you do it by yourself?"

"I originally wanted to find a friend for help, and partnered with her. If Brother Zhao was interested, I would not go to her. The same is true for our cooperation."

Zhao Jianguo was overjoyed, of course he was interested, otherwise he wouldn’t have stopped An Qing, and when An Qing said that he could cooperate with him, his face burst into a smile, “That’s a good relationship, I can’t wait for it, I just know the paper mill and the printing company. People around me, I can find someone to make this thing, but how to divide the capital and profit?"

"We each pay half of the cost, and [-] to [-] of the profit, four for me and six for you."

"Ah?" Zhao Jianguo stared. He had thought that Anqing would ask for [-]% when he heard Siliu, but he didn't expect that she would give [-]% to him.

Seeing that Zhao Jianguo was stupefied, An Qing explained aloud: "This year's painting is easy to do but hard to do, that is, you can sell a novelty in the first year, and when the imitation comes out next year, the profits will be shared and reduced. It’s worthless, and the main thing to do is to see if the paper mill and the printing side have the ability to make it. Since Brother Zhao, you can’t let you suffer if you go to the relationship. I’m just making a design, and [-]% is already a lot .”

Zhao Jianguo couldn't help but looked at An Qing with a little surprise when he heard the words. When he said that when Bailixing made private orders, An Qing would not give up the profit. After registering the shares of the Baili brand, he thought she was a fussy person, but it doesn't look like it now, and Zhao Jianguo couldn't understand it for a while.

An Qing didn't think too much about it, but said to Zhao Jianguo: "Brother Zhao, please go to the paper factory first and ask about how much it will cost and how long it will take to make [-] copies. I guess the paper lantern will be too late. Instead, we can make them and sell them after the Lantern Festival, and get rid of the New Year pictures and couplets first."

"[-] copies? So many?" Zhao Jianguo was surprised.

An Qing nodded, "Believe me, [-] copies may not be enough to sell at that time. Brother Zhao, think about it, most people have at least two or three houses in their homes, and there are several pairs of New Year pictures and couplets. Those who celebrate the New Year are willing to spend money." It's worth a few dollars to buy a Spring Festival couplet painting, and it's all affordable. This is only in the city, and it's not counted in the countryside. I guess the big ones can still be sold in the countryside. When the time comes, those small places will sell well There will also be people who will come to pick up the goods, and the [-] copies may only be for the first stop, and there will be no more."

"Are you sure? If this thing is made and sold, it can't be kept. Just like you said, it will be worthless next year."

An Qing chuckled, "I'm sure, if you are worried, you can do this. If you can't sell these things after they are made, I will recycle all the rest, so you won't lose money..."

What An Qing said is just to reassure Zhao Jianguo, because she is confident to sell all these, but who knows that Zhao Jianguo shook his head again and again when he heard the words, "Well, I can't let me take all the benefits, and let you bear the losses alone. Well, I'm not so tasteless. In business, it's normal to have profits and losses. Since I want to cooperate with you, it's my own business if I lose money. Of course, I can't let you bear it if I bear it myself. on."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jianguo seemed to feel that the meaning in his words was wrong, as if he was sure that this New Year painting would definitely lose money, fearing that Anqing would misunderstand, he quickly added, "And I believe in your vision, you said you will not lose money I believe you."
