Chapter 60: Women's Friend
Fortunately, Uncle Cheng gave Jing Xiaoqiang some face: "He left his own phone in the car, saying that he didn't want to show off. You call him back first, and we can discuss it slowly later."
No need to discuss.
Jing Xiaoqiang never expected that the person calling him was the female instructor from the military training team!
The attitude was very polite: "I found your contact information from my classmates at school. This is what happened. I returned to the army two days ago and reported the sports... underwear you provided to the leader. The company leader asked me if I could buy a batch for our company to try out first..."
Yes, apart from athletes, where else do women engage in as much physical activity as the military?
At the beginning, I just wanted to avoid the instructor from getting angry, so I took a set to calm him down.
Who would have thought that it would open up a huge user base directly.
The key lies in the sports bra. Everyone who has used it says it is good. Once you put it on, you can't put it down. The feeling is completely different.
This matter immediately became urgent.
If we can provide military supplies, then that is our absolute duty and we must do it even if it does not make money.
Jing Xiaoqiang no longer hid his secrets.
Putting down the 2.5-pound mobile phone, Jing Xiaoqiang decided not to use it. It was too stupid. "Well, because it involves some situations in the army, it is not easy to say it publicly. But just now there is a response from the army. Maybe our first batch of products will be sent to the army for testing."
Oh my goodness, when Jing Xiaoqiang saw Uncle Cheng fooling around with the serial business, he was still learning it seriously, but now he is putting it into practice right away.
It's just a way of using a big banner to cover up one's own shortcomings, right?
All the men at the table stood in awe. Regardless of whether they loved their country or not, at least this young man was able to establish business connections with the army, and his methods were extraordinary.
In those years, there were many people doing business under the name of the military, and there were all kinds of people.
But Jing Xiaoqiang didn't know this history, so he used it anyway: "Sample I..."
The last time he went to the clothing market to ask if he could get a batch of custom-made items, the people at the market looked down on the small quantity, so Jing Xiaoqiang just left the samples in the hotel room.
Now let me explain: "Simply put, cut the women's one-piece swimsuit like this, add elastic bands to the upper half to make a sports bra..."
A table of men, two drivers, a designer, and three bosses, all looked at Jing Xiaoqiang with strange eyes, and then glanced at Uncle Cheng. It was probably written that your son-in-law is really good at making things happen...
All about women's business.
Uncle Cheng might be even more devastated inside, stewardess uniform, sports bra, and completely female cosmetics, you are simply a friend of women!
Jing Xiaoqiang was not embarrassed or shy at all: "Women's business is the most promising business. You should know how big the bra market is..."
Seven men begged him together : "Keep your voice down..."
Jing Xiaoqiang said shamelessly: "I have already grasped the most critical design point of this. How can we prevent it from shaking and ensure that we will not get hurt during intense exercise? We must apply for a patent, so the first batch will be produced and provided to the troops for trial use. Just think about the number of orders..."
Uncle Cheng covered his head and waved his hands, saying, "Be a decent person and stop talking. This is a scene."
The kind that lingers.
The boss of Media Asia stood up and stuffed the two and a half kilograms to Jing Xiaoqiang: "Let's go and see the samples. This is the deposit for me to get this order. As long as there is the military endorsement, there will be absolutely no problem, not to mention Lao Cheng."
Jing Xiaoqiang thought to himself: "Then, where is the charger...?"
Luckily, he had a set in his car. After getting into the Cadillac, Jing Xiaoqiang threw the thing to Uncle Cheng: "You can use it. I'm already very conspicuous in school. If I show this car and this big mobile phone, I won't be able to work out or do anything serious. You don't know how proactive women are..."
Uncle Cheng is so loud!
Saliva is gushing out.
But he still turned the mobile phone over and over in his hand and played with it: "If my mom wants to blame me... then I will say that you gave it to me as a gift. It's already connected to the Internet, so it's not good not to use it, right?"
It’s different if you have a car. When the three bosses came out and saw that the most dazzling Cadillac parked at the door was Jing Xiaoqiang’s, their eyes were definitely different.
When the two drivers set off in their Santana and Cherokee, they would always say hello to Mr. Xiaoqiang.
In fact, it just moved to the hotel parking lot on the street.
Jing Xiaoqiang seized the opportunity to ask Uncle Cheng: "If you have overseas connections in this bra business, then you can sell it back to Citibank. It will definitely sell like hot cakes. I tell you, this is a good thing that can compete with Nike and Adidas for the market. Hurry up and apply for a patent."
Uncle Cheng said the same thing: "As long as you treat Nannan well, I can help you with anything you want, but I can't afford to lose face selling underwear and cosmetics. What kind of business do you want to do with women in the future?"
Jing Xiaoqiang really has no ambition: "It's enough to make money and buy a few houses. Then register a company and give your eldest daughter some shares. When this business is successful in the future, we will hand it over to businessmen like Media Asia, and it will be enough to collect some dividends happily."
Uncle Cheng actually nodded vigorously: "That's right! Why bother with so much effort? It's fine as long as it's almost there."
He also explained to Jing Xiaoqiang: "In fact, my family doesn't have a lot of money, at least not in China, but we have a lot of savings overseas. Every few years, we file a report and send tens of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange back home. My mother and I have salaries and pensions, and we can live a decent life, which is enough. The idea of being rich and powerful is all fake."
Jing Xiaoqiang gave a thumbs up, saying that it was comfortable when everyone had the same outlook on life.
But Uncle Cheng just doesn't like other women. When he went downstairs, he shook the gift that Lu Xi threw in and listened: "It seems to be a tape, a love message recorded for you?"
Jing Xiaoqiang felt that he had overestimated the girl's intelligence: "Open it and take a look."
Uncle Cheng said that it was not good, and quickly opened the tape: "It's a band tape. Then I'll open it and listen to it. Maybe I borrowed this tape to record for you."
He was still careful and vigilant.
Even in luxury cars, this is the era of booths.
As you drive in, a powerful and inspiring song "Glory Days" echoes in the car.
Jing Xiaoqiang was suddenly stunned.
This is one of the few songs that left a deep impression on him during his college years.
Or it could be said that during the time when he was at a loss after graduation, these songs by Beyond gave him a lot of inner support.
But his memorable point was that it should be the end of his junior year.
It was a morning in June or July 1993. The campus radio station sounded from the student dormitory every morning. Usually, it played classic Beyond songs such as "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "I Like You". But that day, it was "Glory Days". The campus announcer also played a rare low voice along with the music: "Just got the news that the lead singer of the Beyond band, Huang Jiaju, had an accident while recording a variety show in RB and unfortunately passed away. Let us use this song to remember those years..."
For Jing Xiaoqiang, the only thing he did was to return to the West City Theater thirty years later to warn old friends whom he might never recognize again.
He had no interest in overlapping this life with his previous one.
Including his instinctive avoidance of going to Pingjing to study at university, all because he wanted to live a completely different life.
I am not prepared to touch or change anything big or small.
Just be content with a small fortune and live a carefree life.
But at this moment, almost for the first time, he decided to change the trajectory of history.
Because this is about a talented life.
And it was obviously something he could do.
If you can save a life by doing it, then just do it.
I backed the Cadillac into the parking space, sat quietly and listened to the song to the end, took out the tape and put it in my pocket: "Let's go."
Uncle Cheng certainly didn't know that he had made a decision in his heart.
Of course, all everyone saw was the sample of the sports bra.
Jing Xiaoqiang explained that the key points are the cross-drawn wrapping on the back, as well as details such as the fabric's elasticity, breathability, and inner wear resistance.
Just listening to it, you can tell that it took countless tests and verifications on famous mountains and rivers to achieve such a comprehensive result.
Media Asia immediately decided to withdraw from the bidding for the stewardess uniforms and devote all its efforts to the pattern making and trial production of this sports bra. It made an appointment with Jing Xiaoqiang to go to the factory to see the samples three days later.
The boss here hurried away with the driver.
The other two companies also felt that they had lost a competitor, and after carefully asking Jing Xiaoqiang about the details of the uniforms, they hurried back.
This is slower, taking one week to fifteen days to complete.
Jing Xiaoqiang also stopped going to the gym and asked Uncle Cheng: "Walking in the dance hall?"
That's great! Uncle Cheng was so happy that he said, "It's not in vain that I love you so much!"
This time he was going to hang the mobile phone on his waist.
In fact, at these two and a half kilograms, the size is not as big as imagined. The main reason is that it is equipped with a leather cover on the outside that can be hung on the belt, making the whole body look huge and bloated.
Of course, it is also very eye-catching.
Uncle Cheng was like a magnet. He told Jing Xiaoqiang not to pay attention to those women who rushed towards the luxury cars, but he was actually very happy about the women attracted by these big phones!
Humph, man.
