Office Director Shao Guiqin, even though she felt particularly embarrassed, she still had to say something.
"Boss, first of all, it is our manufacturing cost problem, because we have always purchased high-priced fabrics and accessories in Dan City and other cities.
Coupled with the costs of transportation, labor, etc., the market price is much higher than the market price of similar products, and a large part of the competitiveness is lost.
And our designs, judging from market feedback, don’t seem to be popular, and now people are more willing to pay high prices to buy clothes from Mengying Garment Factory!”
She successfully placed the blame on Qi Wenyao, the head of the design department.
But Qi Wenyao didn't want to take the blame.
He said straightforwardly: "The clothes designed by our design department are all personally inspected and accepted by the boss, and the clothes we design are also in line with the trend. If sales are not going well, why not find other reasons?"
However, Shen Qing, the manager of the sales department, said aggrievedly: "We all follow the normal sales process. We will buy whatever you design.
If people don’t buy it, there’s still something wrong with your design. I’m not saying that other people’s designs are good, but look at the clothes designed by Mengying Garment Factory. They are indeed beautiful.
It is indeed better than what we designed. I think everyone sitting here is very clear about this. Our sales department does not do nothing all day long.
After our market survey and research, we have found that fashion trends are changing. The traditional so-called fashion and trends no longer meet the requirements of this market.
So if we want to have a market, we must first design products that are better than Mengying Garment Factory!"
The head of the advertising department also said: "I think Lao Shen is right. In terms of advertising, our advertising creativity is really not as good as others.
If we put it in the context of competition, I think there must be a very powerful team behind Mengying Garment Factory, advising Lin Chuan.
We want to surpass them, and sometimes we need to learn from them, such as their design thinking. I think the design department should also learn from other people's designs!"
All fingers point to Qi Wenyao from the design department.
Qi Wenyao was so angry that her neck turned red.
But Wang Kaizhe had different ideas.
Because he likes Qi Wenyao, he must refute everyone's opinions and provide her with the best protection.
So Wang Kaizhe said coldly: "Okay, don't say it anymore. A company is not composed of just one department. If you blame the design department for everything,
Then I still need your departments, what do these people do? What I need now is to increase sales, not to let you dictate the design of the products.
If you can’t come up with a good plan within five days, you can all resign and adjourn the meeting now!”
Everyone is well aware of Wang Kaizhe's deliberate favoritism.
Office director Shao Guiqin shook his head.
If a company only starts from the perspective that Wang Kaizhe likes a woman and hates a woman, what hope does the company have?
Qi Wenyao also understood why Wang Kaizhe favored her.
It's a pity that she herself is also under pressure. Even if it is Wang Kaizhe's deliberate favoritism, she will not be able to pass this test.
After the meeting, Wang Kaizhe specially kept Qi Wenyao.
He even said encouragingly: "Wenyao, don't listen to them. I am always satisfied with your design. Don't feel pressure. Just develop according to your design ideas.
Of course, it is also enriching for you to learn from the strengths of others appropriately. There will be a fashion week event held in each Congress next month.
I can take you to see it, learn other people’s design concepts, and see world trends!”
Qi Wenyao didn't think Wang Kaizhe was taking her to participate in any fashion week.
But she didn't want to turn down this opportunity.
He just said calmly: "Okay, let's check the schedule then. I'll go back and get busy first!"
"Go ahead, don't feel pressure. In my heart, you are the best!"
Qi Wenyao also smiled noncommittally and left the conference room.
But she didn't want to go to work. Instead, she picked up her handbag and went directly to Mengying Garment Factory.
At the guard's office, she asked to see Lin Chuan.
The doorman directly called Shang Jiaxiu on the internal phone. If he wanted to see the boss, Shang Jiaxiu had to make arrangements.
He, a little guard, doesn't have the qualifications.
Shang Jiaxiu also has to see if Lin Chuan has time?
At this time, Lin Chuan had just talked to Long Jiapeng on the phone and was using the little time he had to design new clothing styles.
"Qi Wenyao? I don't know this person!"
"She said she was a costume designer at Kaizhe Garment Factory!"
Lin Chuan was even more surprised. Why did the designer of Kaizhe Garment Factory want to see him?
In the reception room, Qi Wenyao's first impression of Lin Chuan was that he was steady but free and easy. The first impression was particularly good.
Qi Wenyao knew that Lin Chuan was very busy, so she did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I just want to learn your fashion design concepts!"
Lin Chuan smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Wang Kaizhe asked you to come, right?"
This question made Qi Wenyao feel a little nervous, and the hand holding the water glass trembled.
She knew that Wang Kaizhe opened a clothing factory just to compete with Lin Chuan, and the reason was because of a woman.
"No, I have always learned it myself. From a purely designer point of view, I really appreciate the clothing styles you design.
It can be said that you are at the forefront of fashion, but as a designer, I have never been able to design such good works, so I just want to learn from your designers.
This has nothing to do with Wang Kaizhe. In fact, Wang Kaizhe is not a person who understands clothing. He is too focused on what he wants, so I may not continue to work for him!"
Lin Chuan is not a three-year-old child. You can gain his trust by just saying a few words.
In his previous life, he lost the most only in trust.
So he just smiled slightly and said: "As for clothing design, apart from the basics of design, there is nothing else that can be taught by words and deeds.
Whether it is men's clothing or women's clothing, first of all, you must have an experience and understanding, and secondly, you must understand what clothing can bring to people?
For example, workers' clothing should be comfortable and reflect the cultural development of the company. If it is an individual, it should reflect a person's mood, identity, status, experience, etc.
This is a very broad topic, and it’s not something you can understand just by knowing how to design!”
Qi Wenyao listened very carefully. Although it was only a few words, it shocked her greatly.
This also made her more determined to study here.
Just when she wanted to continue making this request, Xi Xiaolei pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Lin, the textile factory Tao Ying sent a piece of human resources information. Do you want to take a look?"
