Chapter 406 Blessing(1/3)
Next is Ning Weimin's own business.
Let’s talk about clothing first, because the more you travel, the more doors open up, and the more you do it, the more you become familiar with it.
The street sewing club relies on wholesale and processing, and Luo Guangliang and his brothers rely on retail and monopolize the cutting of standard goods, and both make a lot of money.
Even the self-employed in the Qianmen area and other unlicensed vendors on Xiushui Street have made a lot of money by accepting Ning Weimin's popular goods.
However, even in such a prosperous and happy situation.
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin accidentally grasped a rare business opportunity.
Thanks to Pierre Carton, who went to China from France to sign a contract this time, he also brought many relatively new styles of clothing, hoping to put them on the market of the Republic.
According to the established practice, the styles of these clothes have not been verified by the market and will certainly not be mass-produced.
We can only produce a dozen or dozens of pieces in small quantities to test the market's acceptance.
As a result, not only did Song Huagui have a headache, but all state-owned garment factories were also in trouble.
Because making these clothes requires a lot of workmanship and time, not to mention the small quantity.
Song Huagui sent it to anyone, and no one liked to receive it.
At the factory, who takes such an order and who is worried?
However, after Ning Weimin learned about this incident, he couldn't help but start making plans.
Because it is obvious that the sewing club on Meishi Street is the most suitable place for this kind of work.
Compared with ordinary tailor shops, street sewing clubs have a certain scale.
Moreover, it is very flexible in operations and is not as rigid as state-owned garment factories.
The only thing to worry about is whether the quality can pass the test.
Ning Weimin certainly knows how strict the workmanship requirements of Pierre Carton brand clothing are.
Sometimes even if the fly is slightly amiss, it has to be reworked.
He felt that the amateur level of those old women in the sewing club might be too much.
So just to be on the safe side, I had to let the sewing club try out a few pieces first.
If he can get by, he can talk to Song Huagui.
But I really didn’t expect that the sewing club is really talented.
Su Jin is simply a blockbuster!
As the only male member of the sewing club, his tailoring skills are unique to Scorpion Shit.
When Ning Weimin saw the sample made by Su Jin, he was not only shocked, but also became more confident.
Sure enough, he took these clothes to Song Huagui and took a look at them, and the job was successfully settled.
Hey, it’s so appropriate to look at this now!
First, Ning Weimin gained the favor of the leader.
Song Huagui was very happy and believed that Ning Weimin was indeed his right-hand man and worthy of relying on.
He can take the initiative to share his worries without even mentioning it himself. This is so rare.
Second, Ning Weimin also conveniently sold the state-owned garment factory as a favor to those people.
When those factories learned that Ning Weimin had taken over the job, there was no factory director or person in charge who did not wish him well.
To express his gratitude, the factory would of course agree to take extra care of the goods given to him.
Third, everyone in the street sewing clubs is also very happy about this.
Don't look at the state-owned factories that don't like the processing fee of 13 to 4 yuan for a single coat and more than 30 yuan for a coat.
But the operating costs of a street sewing club are a little higher?
That's a fat spot that they can't even reach.
Even if Ning Weimin peeled off a layer of skin, what he left to the street sewing club was only eight or nine yuan for a single coat and more than twenty yuan for the production of a coat.
It was enough to make Director Li, Aunt Bian and Su Jin happy.
They made a rough calculation and calculated it as 200 pieces per month.
With Su Jin and five skilled temporary female workers working together, they can handle it well enough.
If the workers' processing fees are excluded, the sewing club can earn almost a thousand yuan.
Darling! This is enough to pay a whole month’s salary to more than a dozen people!
It can't be said to be a pie falling from the sky at all, but a meat pie falling from the sky.
Moreover, it is oily and shiny!
So after getting Ning Weimin's promise that he would not be short of work for at least two years.
Director Li and Aunt Bian resolutely recruited ten more people, and they also made a forward-looking and courageous decision.
I spent 3,000 yuan to buy a semi-old ironing machine and a second-hand buttonhole buttoning machine to enhance my clothing-making capabilities.
To put it bluntly, a shotgun has been replaced with a cannon!
Since then, the sewing club has been no longer a pure handicraft workshop.
Instead, it has a bit of a meaning of mechanical automation.
Ning Weimin's other jobs also benefited.
Even if you don't care about morality and conscience.
Ning Weimin could have plagiarized directly, followed Pierre Catton's costume design, and asked the sewing club to use domestic fabrics to produce it.
He can easily get huge returns by simply taking it to the market and selling it later.
There's also a cigarette shop.
As the economy improves, it directly stimulates social demand for tobacco and alcohol.
In the peak season at the end of this year, compared with the big price increase at the end of last year, the market is not bad at all.
In addition, many people do not hesitate to take money from their mouths and save money on clothes. Throughout the year, they look forward to saving enough money to buy a color TV or a cassette player as soon as possible.
The home appliance business also exploded.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as December entered, Zhang Shihui and his wife were busy making money for Ning Weimin without even touching the ground.
But conversely, it was precisely because business was so good during this period that for several days, Ning Weimin had some doubts about answering Zhang Shihui's call.
Because until now, he still has not been able to fulfill his promise to recruit workers for the tobacco shop.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't take it seriously, but that he really can't find the right one.
It turned out that he finally found two unemployed young people with suitable temperaments.
Unexpectedly, one of them was called back by his family after only two days of working.
Some parents say they would rather starve to death than let their children work as individuals, for fear of learning bad things.
The other one was quite reliable, but after working for ten days, he found that he had an old cough, a choking cough that he couldn't stop.
Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and, good guy, I was actually diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Zhang Shihui was frightened to death on the spot, fearing that he might also be infected, so he quickly gave the plague god a month's salary and sent him away.
So as soon as Ning Weimin answered Zhang Shihui's call, he had to complain and be scolded.
Zhang Shihui complained to him, saying that she no longer had time to learn and practice driving, and that her daughter-in-law had to ask for leave from her employer all the time.
Either he urged Ning Weimin to find someone else quickly, or he kept forcing him to go to the cigarette shop to help.
But almost all of Ning Weimin's time was occupied by the sculpture exhibition.
What's more, when he joined the Yantai Hotel, he had always been responsible for strategic guidance. How could he have time to do such a small thing?
Whether it was perfunctory or rejection, it made him very embarrassed.
Finding someone is not something that can be done in a short time.
So in the end we had no choice but to temporarily let Zhang Shihui's father-in-law and mother-in-law take turns.
This solves the problem of manpower not being able to keep up with the business explosion.
But things in life are so interesting.
Don’t look at it. Sometimes, we are anxious about what we need or desire, and the more anxious we are, the less likely we are to find it.
But I want you to give up and take your time.
Maybe as soon as you look back, you will immediately find that what you urgently need is right in front of you and at your fingertips.
The same goes for finding someone.
Ning Weimin never expected that the person he needed would be found at the door of the postal market, and it was because of the zodiac tickets.
In the past year, Ning Weimin has rarely come to the philatelic headquarters in Donghuamen.
