Jiang Nuan is currently working in the Propaganda Department with fixed working and off-duty hours. The work content is small and it is very leisurely. The salary level is the average salary in the city, 42 yuan. Jiang Nuan is really not satisfied, but this salary and this job also make many people Hot-eyed, after all, there are fewer pits and more radishes now.
Counting it, she has been doing it for 2 months, and everyone started fishing after finishing their work. For example, Li Yuanyuan and Zhuang Yan recently brought their study materials to read.
In addition to designing wedding dresses for Li Hongying recently, she also drew several clothes and bag design drawings with great inspiration. She plans to make some ready-made clothes and bags for sale. Now that women's awareness of beauty has awakened, she is learning design again. Yes, although she is only in her sophomore year, she has always had a big V blogger who pays attention to many clothes and designs before she loves beauty. She is still very confident in her aesthetics and professional level.
She is thinking about quitting her job recently, because this job has no room for her to realize her personal value, and she is not what she likes. She still likes to design and produce more beautiful clothes to satisfy more people's desire for beauty. Pursue.
But when I think about the job my family has worked so hard to find for her, and the jobs my family members do are in public institutions, if I quit my job rashly and engage in speculative, unscrupulous capitalist behavior, I am afraid that my family will not be able to accept it. , and may implicate them.
After all, people who do business now are still not seen in the light, so it is better to wait and see, and when the time comes to enter the university and reform and open up, they will be able to do business aboveboard. Now she still takes her time and works secretly. First draw the design, then go to a tailor to mass-produce some, and then find a way to sell them after they are done.
Jiang Nuan's small plan is cracking, accumulating funds, saving money to buy shops and houses, and then slowly expand her business in the future to achieve the goal of becoming a rich woman as soon as possible.
...
Jiang Nuan got off work early in the afternoon. Since returning to the city, she bought a lot of clothes, some of which were made by herself, and some were made by the tailor recommended by her aunt.
The location of the tailor shop is relatively remote, and only a widow and her daughter are running the business. The widow is called Sister Yu, and her name is Zhou Xiangyu. She is 38 years old and has a cheerful personality. Her daughter is the same age as Jiang Nuan, and only mother and daughter run the shop. A small tailor shop, this is how she makes a living. Sister Yu is very good at craftsmanship, but because people in this era like to tear cloth and make clothes by themselves, the business of the tailor shop is relatively bleak, and almost all of them rely on regular customers to patronize the business.
After getting off work, Jiang Nuan took a few recent design drafts to the tailor shop. She often came to the shop to make clothes. Zhou Xiangyu and her daughter Wu Xiaotao knew Jiang Nuan very well. like her.
When Jiang Nuan entered, Zhou Xiangyu was stepping on the sewing machine, and Wu Xiaotao was dozing off on the counter next to her. Seeing Jiang Nuan came, Wu Xiaotao's sleepiness left immediately, and she greeted her enthusiastically: "Nuan Nuan, here to do it again." Clothes?"
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Yes, I want to discuss something with you."
After Zhou Xiangyu finished her work, she heard Jiang Nuan's conversation and asked in confusion, "What's the matter
, Nuan Nuan?" "Sister Yu, we know each other well. I'll just cut to the chase, I recently designed a few pictures of clothes and bags, I want to mass-produce them and sell them, and I want to try it out, Sister Yu, do you want to cooperate with me?"
Jiang Nuan explained her purpose and her plan She couldn't do it by herself, so she thought of them. Sister Yu is good at crafting and fast. Wu Xiaotao learned crafts from Sister Yu since she was a child. Xiaotao makes clothes in the back, so that she can do it first, and then expand the production line when the funds are sufficient.
Both Zhou Xiangyu and Wu Xiaotao were shocked by Jiang Nuan's words.
The business of the tailor shop is bleak, and the shop is remote. Nowadays, few people are willing to spend more money to make clothes. The people who come to their shop to help are neighbors. She is embarrassed to charge more. Although their mother and daughter are good at craftsmanship But it is useless. Usually, I just earn hard money, barely meet food and clothing, and live a relatively tight life.
It took Zhou Xiangyu a while to recover, swallowed, and said nervously: "Nuan Nuan, will we be treated as speculation if we do this?"
In fact, she was warmed by Jiang Nuan's words, and her husband She died early, and she has no intention of remarrying. Her in-laws treat her like her own daughter, and her in-laws only have her husband as an only child. Since her husband died, her in-laws have persuaded her that she is still young, and she can find another When a good man gets married, Xiaotao will leave it to them to raise her.
Her parents died early, and she remembered how good her in-laws were to her. She never thought about remarrying, so she decided to take good care of her in-laws and daughter and live a good life.
Now her father-in-law is not in good health and needs to go to the hospital for treatment. However, due to the family's embarrassment, the illness can only be delayed. She has no way to start, and is also afraid that she will be caught as a speculator if she does business, so what will her family do then?
Jiang Nuan naturally knew what Zhou Xiangyu was worried about. She said truthfully: "There are risks, but we don't do much. If someone reports it, we just say it's for others. As long as you are careful, I don't think it's a big deal. question."
Now there are no longer a few people doing business secretly. Several major events will happen this year. After October, the situation will be clear. Although there is no reform and opening up, the environment will be much more relaxed, and the higher authorities will turn a blind eye , these problems are naturally no longer a problem.
Wu Xiaotao was listening to the enthusiasm, but she was a little confused about Jiang Nuan's business, so she asked: "Nuan Nuan, you do a good job, why do you take risks in doing business?"
"It's very simple, just want to make money Ah, and I see that there are already quite a few people doing business down there. The ready-to-wear alley on Xuanming Street is developing like a raging fire. I think the situation will get better and better in the future, and the freedom to do business should be realized by then. Letâs do it as soon as possible. , occupy the upper hand in the market, and develop further in the future."
Zhou Xiangyu and Wu Xiaotao were shocked by Jiang Nuan's words again, their hearts were beating thumping, and their hearts were burning.
Wu Xiaotao's voice trembled slightly, she took Sister Yu's hand and said, "Mom, why don't we try, Grandpa's illness can't be delayed."
Zhou Xiangyu gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Nuan Nuan, I am willing to cooperate!" She There is nothing to worry about anymore, Jiang Nuan, a little girl as old as her daughter, has self-confidence, and she can't be false! Roll up your sleeves and work hard!
The three of them did what they said they would do, and Jiang Nuan discussed with them the share of the proceeds, with Jiang Nuan accounting for 70% and Sister Yu accounting for 30%.
In fact, Jiang Nuan wanted a 50-50 split, but Zhou Xiangyu and the others didn't accept it. They just made clothes according to the pattern. The idea of ââthe design and the plan for future sales were all Jiang Nuan's thoughts. If they could make money, they would be very happy I can't ask for so much anymore.
Seeing that they were unwilling, Jiang Nuan could only divide it up like this first, and then distribute it when it developed.
Jiang Nuan took out the drawn clothes, trousers and bags to Zhou Xiangyu, and she explained: "Sister Yu, I designed a dress, a shirt, a pair of wide-leg pants, and two bags. The larger one is a canvas bag that can be used on both shoulders and across the shoulder, and the smaller one is a small leather bag, which can be used to match clothes and add highlights..."
Jiang Nuan took the manuscript and explained it to them. At that time, people didn't pay much attention to the matching of accessories, especially they didn't expect to rely on bags to add highlights, but the market for bags in later generations was very good. For a while, the saying "bag" cured all diseases was popular, which is enough to show that women love bags. enthusiasm.
Before, she also carried several large bags that she used for commuting and small bags that matched her clothes. She was chased by several young girls on the street and asked where to buy them. Only then did she realize that besides clothing, bags are still It's not popular, and the market sells few and it's not good-looking, so she can seize the opportunity.
Wu Xiaotao looked at these design drawings, her eyes were bright, and she looked at Jiang Nuan with admiration: "Nuan Nuan, these clothes and bags are very beautifully designed, fashionable and practical, you are too good!"
Zhou Xiangyu weighed heavily Nodding, she excitedly picked up the design and looked at it again and again. The dress added a bow at the back waist. Besides, the sleeves and collars had some small designs. The trousers were not as bulky as the current trousers, but It is loose and can modify the figure, as is the shirt, the style is novel and unique, and the bag is also something she has never seen before. It looks good with clothes and is very practical. She knows that Jiang Nuan has good aesthetics, so she helped her a few times before. A piece of clothing, although the design of the clothes is very special, but the effect is very good.
She couldn't wait to get started, and she had a very strong hunch in her heart that these clothes and bags should be very popular, and she didn't worry about not being able to sell them.
But thinking that there are no ready-made materials and she doesn't have much money, she speaks out.
Jiang Nuan said: "In the early stage, I will pay first, and then make up for it when I earn it. We will start buying fabrics tomorrow. We will make this batch first and try it out. The ready-made clothes we make are made in one size fits all. It will be more inclusive." The
three started their money-making plan in such a hurry.
The next day, the three of them disguised themselves and went to the black market to buy fabrics. Zhou Xiangyu was very familiar with the fabric market and had friends, so they bought the fabrics with the best quality and quantity at the most favorable price.
Jiang Nuan looked at the pile of fabrics in the hands of the three of them and clicked his tongue. It only cost 30 yuan for such a large pile? This can make a lot of clothes and bags!
Seeing that Sister Yu and Xiao Tao were still haggling with the seller at the fabric stall, and finally spent 8 yuan in Chapter 29, she suddenly felt that her bargaining skills needed to be improved.
The three men went back to the tailor shop in three ways, and the big counters in the tailor shop were filled with fabrics.
Jiang Nuan was startled when she saw Sister Yu and Xiaotao, who were full of energy and had already started cutting pieces and boards.
wild!
Jiang Nuan devoted himself to the process of making clothes without saying a word.
Both Zhou Xiangyu and Wu Xiaotao are quick-witted people, and at the end of the day, they killed one-third of the fabric.
Hearing that they had to work overtime at night, Jiang Nuan hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Yu, Xiaotao, the body is the capital of the revolution, you must be tired from working today, take a good rest tonight, I will rest tomorrow, how about we continue tomorrow?"
"Nuannuan! I'm not tired, I can continue to work for another three hours!" Zhou Xiangyu said quickly, she hasn't made clothes so heartily for a long time, it's so refreshing!
"Me too!" Wu Xiaotao smiled at Jiang Nuan with bright eyes.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She just wanted to say: Are you devils?
