After arriving home, the old lady was busy greeting everyone to sit down and pouring tea and water.
He also brought out candies for them to eat, completely treating Jian Yuelan and the others like children.
"Grandma, please stop working so hard. Sit down and have a rest."
Seeing that the old lady was going to wash the fruits again, Ye Linxing quickly stopped and tried to help the old lady sit down, but was refused. He had no choice but to help the old lady.
Seeing this, Jian Yuelan started chatting with the two little girls.
Through small talk, she got a preliminary understanding of the situation of the two girls.
These two girls have very different family backgrounds. Their parents are both government employees. This is why they live in a family area with Grandma Luo and the others.
In addition, both of them are regular workers in Anseong Garment Factory.
The girl with braids is named Yuan Zhu, and the girl with short hair is named Shao Qiuyun. They are both quite young, one is 17 and the other is 18.
"I understand what you mean, but I don't think you can make the decision on this matter."
Yuan Zhu is a girl with ideas. After seeing the clothes on Jian Yuelan, she not only wanted to make a suit for herself, but also wanted to take her style to the factory for production.
Jian Yuelan's evaluation of their ideas is that they are whimsical. Today's clothing is actually relatively uniform and monotonous, with only a few styles coming and going.
The fabrics are mostly khaki, roving, cotton and denim.
It is unrealistic to say that Chinese people have no aesthetic taste. If there is really no aesthetic taste, there will not be so many girls who want to wear a Bragi.
Men are also proud to have a green military uniform or a Chinese tunic suit.
It can be seen that there is a strong demand for beauty in any era.
The clothing industry is actually very easy to develop, as long as it doesn't meet the red line, no one will go online.
But again, the reform of the garment industry cannot be promoted by two ordinary female garment workers, Shao Qiuyun and Yuan Zhu.
"If you are the director or director of the factory, I would be willing to discuss it in detail with you."
The rejection was obvious, but Yuan Zhu's eyes lit up.
She smiled and said, "In other words, sister is still willing to talk, but because we can't make the decision, you don't think it's necessary to talk."
Jian Yuelan smiled and said in a gentle tone, "You are right, you can't make the decision."
"We really can't make the decision, but someone can."
Yuan Zhu did not deny what she said, and said frankly, "My brother is the workshop director of Ancheng Garment Factory, and brother Qiuyun is the director of the sales department. If my sister is willing, I can ask my brother to come and talk to you."
The old lady answered, "The boy from the Yuan family is reliable."
The implication is: we can talk.
Jian Yuelan looked at Ye Linxing, and he smiled, "You decide for yourself."
"good."
Jian Yuelan agreed, and Yuan Zhu was immediately happy.
"Then let's make an agreement. Where can we meet?"
"Tell your brother to come over for dinner directly after get off work."
The old lady made the final decision, "The two of them will stay at my house tonight."
Yuan Zhu said yes, "I'll ask my brother to bring some food and wine, so I can have a drink with my brother-in-law and Grandpa Luo."
As she said that, she looked at Jian Yuelan and said, "Sister, can you draw pictures?"
"meeting."
Jian Yuelan knew what she meant, so she borrowed paper and pen from Grandma Luo and drew the design of her outfit, specifying the requirements for fabrics and so on.
Even people who don't know how to design can understand it. If you are good at making clothes, you can start making a set directly.
"Show this to your brother first. If it's suitable, I have other styles."
Forget it if it's not suitable.
As for whether the garment factory should adopt this design or not, she didn't care.
Domestic copyright awareness is relatively late. The embroidery industry relies on real materials and real skills. It does not mean that you can pirate if you want to.
The clothing industry is different. People's livelihood industries such as shoes, clothing, and bags are the most susceptible to piracy because they have little technical content.
Jian Yuelan didn't want her hard work to go to waste, but she still couldn't afford to lose a design drawing.
This design drawing serves as a touchstone.
"Okay, I will show this picture to my brother when I get to the factory."
Yuan Zhuzhuang took over the design like a baby, then said goodbye to Shao Qiuyun and left.
At around six o'clock in the evening, Yuan Zhu and her brother Yuan Wei came to visit with gifts.
"I'm here now. I'm just waiting for you to serve dinner."
The old man opened the door for him and saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hand. He immediately blew his beard and glared, "Why did you bring something else?"
“It’s hard to eat without bringing something with you.”
Yuan Wei said frankly, no one is rich nowadays. This lack of wealth does not mean lack of money, but that there are some things that you cannot buy even if you have money.
The quota is there, and if you want to buy more after it's used up, you can only go to the black market.
This place is very dangerous for ordinary people, but it is even more dangerous for old men and old ladies.
He is not so shameless when he goes to an old man's house to eat and drink for free.
Seeing that the old man was still unhappy, he smiled and took out a lunch box from the cloth bag, "There is beef in the state-owned restaurant today, I grabbed some."
"beef?"
When the old man heard this, he became anxious and said angrily, "No, I have to buy some."
This is a rare meat, the old lady loves to eat it, so buy more so that she can enjoy it.
"Xiaoye, hurry up, take your lunch box and go to the state-owned restaurant to grab beef with grandpa."
Ye Linxing couldn't help crying or laughing. He stood up and was about to get the lunch box but was stopped by Yuan Wei.
"Brother, you don't need to take it, it's gone."
"there is none left?"
The old man couldn't believe it. Yuan Wei explained, "It's really gone. Beef is so rare! As soon as the sign of the state-owned restaurant was hung up, everyone who saw it immediately invited friends to buy it. Unless I knew the chef and had a good relationship, I wouldn't be able to get this job.
Come to me."
The old man accepted this tragic fact with a long sigh, and then introduced both parties and announced that dinner would begin.
Several people were chatting and laughing during the banquet, but all of them were like-minded and did not talk about serious matters.
After eating and drinking, Yuan Wei couldn't wait to get to the point and asked Jian Yuelan, "Brothers and sisters, can you produce five more styles like before?"
Worried that she would refuse, he said seriously, "Don't worry about not being able to use it. I met the factory director before I came here and he said it can be done."
Jian Yuelan is not worried about this. She draws the pictures with a clear idea and adopts a simple, elegant and classic style, which is suitable for any occasion in this era.
"Five models are no problem."
In Shangyanshang, Jian Yuelan didn't want to give it away for free, "How do you plan to calculate the price of the design drawings?"
"Look."
Yuan Wei took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over. Jian Yuelan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. There must be nothing tricky about such a thin envelope.
It turned out that her hunch was correct. After opening the envelope and reading it, she sighed, "I'm sorry, the drawings can't be released."
She pushed the envelope back, her refusal obvious.
Yuan Wei looked at her, then at the envelope, and said hesitantly, "Are you not satisfied?"
It's obvious that the price is satisfactory.
She smiled and said nothing, and Yuan Wei went bald. He looked at the old man, then at the old lady, and finally at Ye Linxing.
"How about brother, you take a look and then talk about it."
Originally I wanted Ye Linxing to persuade me, but I didn't expect this person to just say -
"I don't care. My wife makes her own decisions."
Yuan Wei, "?"
What's going on with this couple? They agreed that the male will lead the outside and the female will lead the inside.
He looked at the old lady again and said, "Grandma, would you like to help me with a favor?"
The old lady wanted to beat him, calling him this or that, but not the person involved. Why did this boy from the Yuan family get more and more stupid as he got older?
"I won't tell you. You have to talk to Xiao Jian about this. She drew the picture. If you don't want me to help her, do you think it's appropriate?"
Yuan Wei thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed not suitable.
"Brother and sister, why are you dissatisfied?"
“Not satisfied with the price.”
Jian Yuelan couldn't laugh or cry. She was not a qualified businessman, and Yuan Wei was even more unqualified than her.
She made it so obvious, and it was quite cool to ask her.
"The price is quite high."
He said sincerely, "The old masters in our factory don't pay this much."
