Chapter 65: I came all this way just for this little thing
But she didn't say any more. Du Ruolan started teaching Luo Li how to ride a bike as soon as she returned to school.
After class in the afternoon, I accompanied Lori to go out on the road to try it out, but Lori seemed to have some physical incoordination and had a hard time learning.
During class, Jing Xiaoqiang was writing and drawing the styles of storefronts and business cards. Pan Yunyan actively offered suggestions and even followed Jing Xiaoqiang to make storefronts.
Du Ruolan tried her best to urge herself to focus on the things at hand.
Jing Xiaoqiang was well-informed and did not follow the common style of the times, nor did he follow Pan Yunyan's whimsical idea of painting the entire store in color.
He was conscious of protecting old buildings and did not destroy or change the exterior. Instead, he found a glass shop to make him some frosted glass, which he did by sandblasting and painting. This is the most advanced style that glass shops can currently achieve.
It has to be sent to a factory in the suburbs for customization, and can only be installed and picked up after a few days.
Jing Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry.
But I did buy two folding wooden chairs and a coffee table and placed them on the lawn in front of the store, and also put a small vase.
Lu Xi was right. These artists were born with a petty bourgeois temperament.
But this tone is clearly that of Shanghai people, especially those around the Conservatory of Music, I quite like this feeling.
When I tried to place it, passers-by stopped to watch.
In the end, they were locked in the store and put out during business hours.
Jing Xiaoqiang also taught Pan Yunyan to skip class and take attendance for him early tomorrow morning.
Pan Yunyan was indeed a playful person who quite liked these sneaky little tricks, and she agreed with a smile on her face.
Isn’t it just finding a boy to take the blame? It’s done in no time.
Only two days into the new semester, Jing Xiaoqiang skipped classes and ran away. Du Ruolan was very surprised. Luo Li, who was now close to her, found it even more difficult to understand: "Didn't he say that it was so good?"
Pan Yunyan laughed happily: "You have to trust him."
Du Ruolan also learned to roll her eyes: "I don't believe you!"
Pan Yunyan immediately held her arm and said affectionately, "I do like him a little bit, hey hey hey, but unless he expresses his feelings, I won't do anything desperate. I'm too busy with so many things."
Du Ruolan wondered if she had chosen the wrong best friend. Loli, who was pretending to be indifferent but actually pricked up her ears to listen to gossip, seemed much less threatening.
Sometimes problems arise between couples, either because the best friend doesn’t like the person, or because the best friend does like the person.
It's all troublesome.
I can only say that the boy I found is too outstanding.
Even skipping classes is so cute.
As an excellent boy, of course he took Uncle Cheng to southern Jiangsu to investigate the production capacity and revision progress of the swimsuit factory.
After working out at the hotel, the two of them went downstairs and drove away. There wasn't much traffic on the streets these days, so Jing Xiaoqiang also stopped by the audio-visual company to pick up a dozen Beyond albums from different channels that they had collected there.
Two of them are CDs.
Jing Xiaoqiang thought that he might have to get a set of audio equipment.
Moreover, with his current voice and hearing ability, ordinary speakers are simply not up to the standard.
There is no limit to the expensive speakers, and where should we put them?
So I still have to have my own room.
I spend money like water. How long will it take to save enough to buy a house?
The trend of sports bras is good, but starting out as a military supply store doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll make a lot of money, so you still have to rely on cosmetics stores.
However, this is a joint venture business, and we have to keep rolling over payments to purchase goods from abroad.
The profits will be distributed during the Chinese New Year, so we should try to make good money in the remaining four and a half months!
Uncle Cheng didn't have such worries. He sat in the passenger seat with his legs crossed and didn't care what was playing on the car stereo. "My mom shared the skin care products you gave her with her daughter . Guess what she said?"
Jing Xiaoqiang said nonchalantly: "Hmm? What did you say?"
Uncle Cheng approached mysteriously: "She said you are a liar!"
Jing Xiaoqiang laughed loudly: "That's right, women putting makeup on is a trick, all cosmetics are a trick, well, Miss, you hit the nail on the head, okay, okay."
Uncle Cheng said proudly: "Of course, a master's student! I support her to study until she gets a doctorate, but she said that your stuff is a large molecule protein and antibiotics. Take it to the school for testing to see if it is toxic."
Jing Xiaoqiang sighed: "Alas, women's cosmetics are a mystery. The more money they spend, the more they believe in it, and the more radiant and youthful they will be. This is a psychological product. I said she was a nerd."
Uncle Cheng quickly promoted her: "With good education, your children will definitely have a bright future."
Jing Xiaoqiang's requirements are so high: "Two people are together just for the future of their children? Do you think you and your wife are happy? If I get married, I will definitely not covet any woman outside, but it is too difficult to find a lover with an interesting soul, who is compatible in all aspects, and who can guarantee that you will never get tired of it for a lifetime, so I try to shorten this period of time and postpone it. I will never live with someone who is cold and has nothing to say to me all day long."
Uncle Cheng could only advise: "Just live your life, and it will get better slowly ."
This is so unconvincing. Jing Xiaoqiang laughed: "I won't give in like you and your wife. Besides, it's not good for us to be friends like this. We have to be two generations apart."
Uncle Cheng hoped: "Wouldn't it be better if we could become even closer relatives? How wonderful!"
Jing Xiaoqiang was very happy: "I heard that the best state is to drive a car, play your favorite music, sit with your friends in the passenger seat, talk about the girl you like, and go to find the technician you like together. How great is that? It's not worth it to become a son-in-law and a father-in-law!"
Uncle Cheng is indeed eager to learn: "What is a technician?"
Jing Xiaoqiang's explanation of the subject from the simple to the complex is to say that you probably don't think highly of being a son-in-law.
Uncle Cheng was fascinated: "Next time we go abroad, let's go together. I'm embarrassed to mention this kind of thing to those uncles or relatives and friends. You take me to see it!"
Xiang Xiang also promised: "I will definitely not tell my daughter!"
Jing Xiaoqiang laughed and scolded, what kind of father-in-law !
But it was indeed fun. The two men, who had no ambitions and had no pressure, chatted and laughed and travelled more than 200 kilometers in just the morning.
When we were leaving the city, we drove on the first expressway in the country. It had not been built in the whole country yet, but Shanghai was indeed at the forefront. Although it was only a dozen kilometers long for demonstration, it was obvious that having a car was a benefit.
Thanks to being a land of fish and rice and the flat Yangtze River Delta, this most economically developed region in the country has better road conditions than the rest of the country, even with its numerous provincial and national highways.
In his previous life, Jing Xiaoqiang had no chance to see such a prosperous reformed society. He was either on campus or in the narrow social world, which was very novel.
Even though the factory still looks like a township enterprise, everyone is full of energy.
The swimsuit factory is very new, from the equipment to the factory building, everything is obviously newly built, let alone a production line. It is just an ordinary sewing machine workshop and various processing procedures that are mainly done by manual labor.
But the production volume is huge, so it is very busy whether it is packing inventory or purchasing raw materials.
From the labels on the packaging cartons, Jing Xiaoqiang could still tell that most of them were shipped to Citi, and some were sent to Mexico or Europe.
There is absolutely no problem with their strength, and of course people also trust the father-in-law and son-in-law who came in a luxury car worth four or five hundred thousand yuan .
The enthusiastic boss first invited them to a lake seafood banquet, but Jing Xiaoqiang still wanted to take a look at the food first: "It's related to military supplies, and it's related to how to sell it next. If I don't take a look, I won't enjoy the meal."
Of course, people praised Boss Jing as a real person.
At first glance, there is indeed a problem.
It was originally modified from a swimsuit with breast pads, and the test feedback was based on the various details mentioned by the dancing girls later.
But there was no time to make a second batch of test products.
When Jing Xiaoqiang handed over the sample, he made a list of some details that needed further improvement.
As a result, about 20 samples have been made so far, and most of them are copied from the samples.
There is no improvement.
This is also the biggest problem for all domestic manufacturing companies at this stage. They can basically solve the problem by following the reverse engineering steps, but if they want even the slightest independent improvement, it cannot be done without hands-on guidance.
For example, Jing Xiaoqiang asked that the shoulder straps be crossed and pulled tighter and wider. Such vague suggestions cannot be improved. It must be made clear whether it is one centimeter or a few millimeters more.
Anyway, I don’t know how to do research and development, so I can only process according to samples.
Jing Xiaoqiang scratched his head, but decided to get started and make changes to the detailed requirements one by one on the spot.
And we make five different sizes according to one style. After all, the problem of fabric elasticity has not been solved these days.
Then when the technicians were making improvements on site, he drew a style that was close to a tight vest and asked for a sample to be made based on this.
And it is required that the two-finger-wide elastic bands at the bottom of both models will be branded with... MIYA in the future.
This is also the most common brand awareness of sports bras.
At that time, people in China would never think so.
So this whole process lasted for three or four hours until the afternoon.
For lunch, the boss always has someone deliver the food to us.
By the way, I talked to the boss of Media Asia about the sales situation. To be honest, Jing Xiaoqiang himself didn’t know how to sell it. He could only say that he would open a store in the urban area of Shanghai first?
Then, if the military really wants it, we can at least guarantee a few hundred or thousands of basic goods as a base, and then we can promote it to the airlines.
But the focus of making big money should still be on Citibank. There are a huge number of women exercising and running. Uncle Cheng... do you have any connections?
Uncle Cheng had already rushed to the sewing machine workshop with his hands behind his back to observe the agile figures of the female workers.
He has a really good attitude.
Jing Xiaoqiang racked his brains to recall that he went to Citibank around 1998 or 1999. How could he have seized the market before Nike and Adidas?
Oh, we have to apply for a patent, and both parties have to cooperate to set up a company. Jing Xiaoqiang and Cheng Yuling will jointly hold 65% of the shares. Because they have the product copyright, military sales channels, and possible urban sales, Media Asia will only hold 35% as a manufacturer.
Of course, with a successful brand, it is worth the ratio.
He was so busy that he could hardly breathe. The boss of Media Asia felt that Jing Xiaoqiang was young, meticulous and down-to-earth, and had such a deep and broad network of contacts. He kept praising his limitless future.
Jing Xiaoqiang ignored all the flattery and finally prepared to have a sumptuous dinner before returning to Shanghai.
Uncle Cheng finally showed up out of nowhere and winked at Jing Xiaoqiang. It was obvious that he wanted to signal the boss here to arrange the nightlife!
