The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen took it upon himself to make four cork board lamps, namely a floor lamp, a wall lamp, a table lamp and a chandelier.

He remembered that Shentu Hongyan ran a hardware factory, so he asked her to make two garden lamps from aluminum alloy. Shentu Hongyan's husband cut and filed these two lamps by hand. Shentu Hongyan and He said that if it is mass production, it can be punched directly with a punch.

Zhang Chen sent photos of several lamps to Jessica, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally completed the task. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when he sent it to Jessica. At this time, Jessica was there It was around four in the morning, and when she woke up, she could see the photos Zhang Chen sent her on MSN.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Chen received a call from Xu Qiaoxin, saying that Jessica knew that Zhang Chen did not understand English and could not communicate even though the phone was connected. MSN was not online, so she called Xu Qiaoxin directly.

"Jessica is very happy, Mr. Zhang. She asked if the samples could be sent to her immediately. She seemed to be in a hurry and asked you to design a series and send her the drawings." Xu Qiaoxin said on the phone.

Zhang Chen said yes, you can come over tomorrow to arrange delivery.

When Jessica received Zhang Chen's samples, Zhang Chen also designed a series of indoor lamps and garden lights, and provided twelve paper-cut style patterns for them to choose from.

Jessica left a long list of smiling faces for Zhang Chen on MSN.

Zhang Chen not only laughed when he saw it.

The design fee offered by Jessica and the others was US$128,000. Zhang Chen agreed. Next, Zhang Chen was required to sign a series of documents, indicating that the design of this series of products already belonged to their Target company. They want to register a patent in the United States.

After Zhang Chen's documents were signed, Jessica remitted the design fee and asked Zhang Chen if she could help them find manufacturers in China for production, so that they could place orders directly to Zhang Chen and his company.

Lin Shuwan and Zhang Chen said that these Americans are really cunning.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked puzzledly.

"Brother, you still don't understand. We have passed the WCA social responsibility certification. They know that very few factories in mainland China can pass this certification in one go. If they give us the order, we will be the supplier, so they don't need to do anything else." After arranging certification, do you think they are not afraid of trouble and really have so many social responsibilities?"

Zhang Chen understood, that was what happened.

"But whatever, as long as you make money, brother." Lin Shuwan said with a smile.

It was impossible for Zhang Chen and the others to produce lamps on their own. Zhang Chen asked Shentu Hongyan if she wanted to make this product. Shentu Hongyan was so happy that she shouted, "Really, Mr. Zhang, are you really going to sell Target's products?" Let us make the order?

Zhang Chen said yes, I can trust you. I believe that you two are good people and the products you make will make people feel at ease. The garden lights, including the cork board lights, will be made by you.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, I promise there will be no mistakes." Shentu Hongyan said excitedly.

Jessica's order came quickly, and they placed twenty-two containers, two of which were shipped first, and the next twenty containers, which were forty days apart from the previous shipment time.

Zhang Chen was puzzled as to why they arranged this. Lin Shuwan said that the first two depended on the quality of your goods. If your quality was too far from what they expected, shipments would be stopped later.

"Then they can place two counter trial orders first, why do they have to place them together?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Working together allows factories to prepare materials together. They also know that the larger the purchase volume of raw materials, the cheaper the price. Although they care about the price, what is better than Wal-Mart is that they still hope that the factory can make more money through such cooperation. It will be smoother.

"When they place orders in Taiwan, they all like to do this. This is also the reason why the factory feels that they are more friendly and like to do their orders."

Lin Shuwan said, Zhang Chen understood, but he thought about it and asked:

"Then what if there is a quality problem with the first two, and they cancel the subsequent orders, and the factory has already received a lot of materials?"

Lin Shuwan smiled and said: "Brother, if you have quality problems, what else do you want to do? No customer will swallow it. According to the contract, everyone has the right to cancel the order."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, that's true.

"Brother, let me make a suggestion." Lin Shuwan said.

"you say."

"There are actually four factories here now producing your orders, two from Factory Director Zhao, one from Old Tang, and now another in Yiwu." Lin Shuwan said, "I think you should make Qiaoxin and the others independent. Come out and set up a foreign trade company alone."

"What's the difference?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, if you have a separate foreign trade company, you can recruit more salesmen, and you can make more than just your own products. You can make everything, including Target's other products. You can also help them. Procurement, with this foundation, the foreign trade company itself can do a lot.

"The most important thing is to have an independent QC department, that is, quality control. Even if it is the products produced by Director Zhao and his company, your foreign trade company must have a QC sent there. This person is not under the control of the factory. He It is a foreign trade company and is only responsible for customer orders. This is equivalent to an additional quality control in addition to the quality management of the factory.

"It's the same with Lao Tang. Now it's up to Lao Tang to take care of it. Then, I keep an eye on it every day. I actually act as your QC, inspecting the goods according to the orders. These are special circumstances. When you place an order to Yiwu Well, who will control the quality?

"QC starts from the raw materials and supervises the entire production process. If any problems are found, the factory will correct them immediately. You can't wait until all the products are produced before discovering the problems. Then there will be no time for rework, which will definitely affect delivery. .”

Zhang Chen felt that what Lin Shuwan said made sense. Indeed, Xu Qiaoxin and the others are now the foreign trade department of Zhaomei Wedding Dresses, but they are actually responsible for all the foreign trade business of Banmutian Clothing, as well as Lao Tang's, and then Shen Tuhong. From Yan's place, it is no longer appropriate to put them under Zhaomei's wedding dress.

Zhang Chen transferred Xu Qiaoxin and the entire foreign trade department to the company. There was no office, so he temporarily bought a dormitory to use as an office for them.

At the same time, Zhang Chen asked Zhang Musheng to come over and take a look, and decided to add a floor above their office building. Xu Qiaoxin was recruiting people, especially to add a new document and a QC department. The office would definitely not be enough.

…

Zhang Chen received a call from Huijuan at the Xiasha construction site. Huijuan said to him, Brother Zhang, do you have time today?

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Didn't I agree to treat you to the first meal? I have already prepared everything here and it will be opened tomorrow."

"Really, that's great!"

"Brother Zhang, do you want dinner or midnight snack?" Huijuan asked.

"Let's have dinner. I'm in Xiasha right now and will come over later."

"Okay, then I'll start getting ready. Is it okay at half past five?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

At half past five o'clock, Zhang Chen went to No. 1 Road. He passed by at noon. The light box at the entrance of Huijuan's store had not been installed yet. At this time, Zhang Chen saw from a distance that the light box of "Huijuan Local Food Restaurant" had been installed. It got up, but the lights inside were not lit, probably because it was not officially opened.

Zhang Chen parked the car on the side of the road and walked over. The store door was closed. Through the glass door, he saw a person mopping the floor inside. Zhang Chen pushed the door open. The person inside straightened up and turned around. Chen saw a girl of eighteen or nineteen with a round face and acne on her face.

"Who are you looking for?"

The little girl asked him, but before Zhang Chen had time to answer, Huijuan was in the kitchen and heard the noise outside. She leaned out and saw Zhang Chen and shouted:

"Brother Zhang, are you here? Please take a seat."

Then he said to the little girl: "Ah Qiao, quickly pour some water for Brother Zhang."

Zhang Chen quickly said, "You guys should be busy, I'll look around."

Huijuan smiled: "Okay, then I don't care about you."

Zhang Chen first walked to the room next door to take a look. After it was repainted, it felt much more spacious than before. This room could fit five small square tables. Zhang Chen was familiar with this square table, having moved it from Sanbao.

Zhang Chen saw that the decorator had made changes to the original floor-to-ceiling glass.

Close to the glass, he built a brick wall more than one meter high, and the entire floor-to-ceiling glass turned into a huge window. It turned out that this was a supermarket, which was unnecessary. Now it is a hotel, but Zhang Chen felt that this A change is necessary. In this case, it doesn't matter if a guy who drinks too much is kicked or hit.

It seems that this guy has decorated many small restaurants like this and is very experienced.

Zhang Chen walked into the kitchen and saw a stainless steel stove on one side. Next to the stove was a stainless steel table, used for cooking and chopping vegetables. Opposite here, there was a long table built with ceramic tiles, on which were placed There are three gas stoves.

Huijuan was taking a casserole off one of the gas stoves. When she saw Zhang Chen coming in, Huijuan smiled at him and said to him: "It will be delicious soon."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "So many gas stoves?"

"Yes, we need to cook food there, but there are not so many gas stoves. If the guests order too many cookers, it will be too busy."

"This little girl outside is the waiter you hired?" Zhang Chen asked.

"A child from a relative of mine said she wanted to work in Hangzhou, so I asked her to come to my place." Huijuan said, pointing to the back of the hotel, and said to Zhang Chen: "I rented a house here. A house where she lives with me.”

Zhang Chen agreed that it would be safer for the two girls to live together.

It’s time to eat. Today there are three pots and four stir-fries. Zhang Chen looked at the three pots today. They were different from last time. They were bamboo shoots pot, shredded radish pot and a turtle in red soup. In the pot, there are four stir-fried dishes, namely stir-fried bacon with green garlic, braised fish fillets, fried shrimps in oil and mushrooms and vegetables.

Zhang Chen tasted them one by one and they all tasted good.

Zhang Chen and Huijuan still drank wine with rice. Ah Qiao lowered her head and finished a bowl of rice quickly, then told them, "Eat slowly, I will go back to the room first," Huijuan agreed.

Zhang Chen raised his wine glass and said to Huijuan, "I wish you a prosperous business!"

Huijuan says thank you!

The two clinked and drank, then put down their glasses. Huijuan and Zhang Chen said, Brother Zhang, the opening is tomorrow. I feel so nervous.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Have you already opened a hotel? Why are you so nervous?"

"It's different, it's different this time." Huijuan shook her head, thought for a moment, and said it out: "Brother Zhang is here this time. I feel that if it doesn't go well, I'll be very sorry for Brother Zhang."

"Don't think like that, just be normal." Zhang Chen said, "Besides, this restaurant relies on word of mouth. Don't expect many people to come on the first day tomorrow. As long as your dishes maintain such a taste, the guests will definitely There will be more and more.”

"Really?" Huijuan sighed, "I just don't have confidence in the food I cook. In the past, it was all cooked by chefs."

"You are much better than them." Zhang Chen said, "By the way, how about I bring some people over tomorrow to cheer you up?"

"No!" Huijuan shouted, "Brother Zhang, you must not come tomorrow!"

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I'll be more nervous if you come."
