Chapter 319. Open her own workshop
"Fourth Aunt, you look so pretty." Zhou Er Ni couldn't help but said with a look of surprise.
"So gorgeous." Xu Sheng Mei nodded with envy in her eyes.
"My uncle is blessed." Hu Zi is much simpler and blunt. Even when he came to the capital, he rarely saw anyone who can compare to this aunt of his.
"This woman should only exist in heaven. It's hard to come across a few in the human world." Zhou Xuan instantly recited.
"Bootlicker." Zhou Kai was disgusted.
"Second Brother, this is not called a bootlicking. This is called rainbowlicking." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"What do you guys mean? Which part of Second's words is wrong? Hu Zi, Sheng Mei, Er Ni, and others have good eyes. While you two are blind?" Lin Qing He told off.
"Mom, wear this kind of clothes tomorrow and walk around on the street. It's definitely living advertising. It's so outstanding. It will definitely have people come beating the shop's door down. Would you like me to come and help?" Zhou Xuan said.
"You two can forget." Lin Qing He said: "How many classes will you have tomorrow, Eldest?"
"One important one. I will head over after finishing." Zhou Kai nodded.
"Both of you try it. It's the average size. It can fit both of you." Lin Qing He gave her nieces a set.
Then she let them change in the room.
The two were worthy of being young girls. The effect was excellent after getting into it.
"Still can't compare to Aunt." Hu Zi looked at them and remarked.
The three Zhou boys stopped talking. Although it was indeed very good, they can't outshine their mother. They were inferior to their mother in temperament.
"Young and beautiful. How can they not compare? No eyesight." Lin Qing He said, and turned to the two girls: "Spin around."
Zhou Er Ni and Xu Sheng Mei both complied. Both looked wonderful.
"Alright. Go out in this tomorrow." Lin Qing He clapped her hands.
As for herself, forget it. She won't wear this. Just wear her normal stuff like before.
She let the girls discuss it by themselves. Lin Qing He went back to the room and changed out of the clothes. Seeing that she was about to fold up her clothes and take them back, Zhou Qing Bai spoke, "You look great in it."
"It is. I will ask old Madam Xu to make two different sets for me another day." Lin Qing He said.
These current dresses were all bulk-made. There were more than 200 sets of this. Currently, the factory was rushing to make two other summer styles for her.
Lin Qing He didn't like it because they were all batch-made and it was too easy to wear the same things as others.
Zhou Qing Bai responded: "Then ask old Madam Xu to make a few more pieces for you alone."
"Alright." Lin Qing He smiled and said, "I'll wear it for you to see."
There was a twinkle in Zhou Qing Bai's eyes.
The next day, the clothing store's business officially started.
During the previous idle time, the shabby clothing store was decorated by Hu Zi, Er Ni, and Sheng Mei into a lively place under the guidance of Lin Qing He.
At this time, the storefront really didn't have such an interior design. People who entered the store weren't only attracted by the clothes, but also by the shop.
At this time, it had entered February according to lunar, while the solar calendar, it was early March.
Although the weather was still a bit cold, it was okay to wear such spring clothes.
If it were in that(modern) time, there was no shortage of people who want style but over warmth. At most, they'll just add another jacket outside.
Still, this new style of dress still had to be bought.
On the first day, the business was fairly average. Around ten or so sets of dresses were sold. While on the second day, it became lively. Fame had spread. More than thirty sets were sold.
The business afterward was also very good.
So that it didn't take long for more than two hundred sets of clothes to run out.
Lin Qing He rode a bicycle to the garment factory to speed up the goods.
"How can it be that fast? With so many clothes, it will naturally take a lot of time. If you mind the slowness, then you can find other places to make the orders." The first time they met, the manager's attitude was still very good. But at this moment, his tone and expression changed.
Lin Qing He kept a smile on: "Since it's made here, then naturally we continue our cooperation."
Then she agreed on a time with him to pick up the clothes. Lin Qing He's face went dark after coming out of the garment factory.
When she came back, she found Zhou Qing Bai to talk about it.
"Then don't cooperate with him. Buy more sewing machines and find some like old Madam Xu to make clothes." Zhou Qing Bai said directly after hearing this.
Lin Qing He was shocked: "Open our own garment factory?"
"It's not opening a clothing factory. More like opening a small workshop and hiring some people to come over to work. I think he probably knows that your clothes are selling well and want to sell them by themselves." Zhou Qing Bai stated.
Lin Qing He's face blackened.
But really, the manager of the garment factory might really have this thought!
"I'll contact another garment factory for you. When the summer vacation is over, let's go buy some sewing machines back?" Zhou Qing Bai looked at her.
If one wants to buy a sewing machine here, it won't be that easy. One still needs a ticket, but you don’t need it when you go to the south.
Having money was enough.
And if she opens a small workshop, she'll need a lot of sewing machines.
"Qing Bai, we will really build a workshop by ourselves?" Lin Qing He said as she stared at her man.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded as if it was natural: "The attitude of these factories wouldn't change much unless we don't do it ourselves."
Lin Qing He pursed her lips and recalled the attitude of the manager today. She declared: "Then we will start a workshop by ourselves!"
Then she said to Zhou Qing Bai: "You can ask Uncle Wang to see if there is any kind of warehouse that can be used as a factory building. We'll buy one?"
"Sure." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Lin Qing He handed the matter to Zhou Qing Bai and went to ask old Madam Xu.
"Teacher Lin, your two sets of clothes aren't ready yet." Old Madam Xu said hurriedly when she saw her coming.
"I know, Aunt Xu. I just want to come over and ask you, are there many workers with your skills who have retired?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Old Madam Xu uttered in confusion.
"It's like this. This is a social problem. I heard that many people have retired. I want to write an article, so I'm here to ask you." Lin Qing He said without explaining.
"So it's like this. Then you are asking the right person." Old Madam Xu said. Then spewed out her bitterness: "You don't know. I haven't actually reached the age of retirement, but the factory dislikes me because I'm old and not so nimble. They called those who returned to the city to substitute."
What's more, there were quite a few cases like old Madam Xu.
Some retired voluntarily and passed it to their younger generation who returned to the city, but some were forced to retire.
Like old Madam Xu. After she retired, it went without saying she had nothing to do. At most, she would take on private work to earn some subsidies for the family. The others had no income and fed off the old saving.
Lin Qing He understood in her heart.
