That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 202: Try to be second-rate first!

Li Ye and Pei Wencong jointly established a new company, and it took two days to complete the relevant procedures.

As an important commercial and trade center in the Far East, Hong Kong Island has a complete set of business management systems. Although it is a bit cumbersome, it is also very rigorous and protects the interests of merchants as much as possible.

Li Ye just read and signed the contract in silence throughout the whole process. Only when Pei Wencong asked what the name of the new company should be, did he express his opinion.

"Just call Siris!"

In Hong Kong Island, there are many companies that use this kind of transliterated foreign language as their names. There is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

After hearing this, Pei Wencong smiled and said: "Serys, is Mr. Li borrowing the name foreigners used for the flower-growing empire in history?"

Li Ye said: "So be it! I hope that our country will once again fill the whole world with awe and yearning like it did at that time."

"."

Pei Wencong was stunned and nodded silently.

Thousands of years ago, because of the silk, other countries in the world came to the flower growers one after another. After seeing the power of the flower growers, they spread the wealth and power of the empire to all directions.

Now that the glory of the past has faded, the name Siris has long been forgotten by the world. Li Ye borrowed it as a thought and borrowed a little bit of the country's destiny.

After finishing all the company's affairs, Li Ye did "business" for two days.

He visited many famous scenic spots on Hong Kong Island and took photos, and through Pei Wencong's connection, he had friendly cultural exchanges with two literary authors who stood on the right side. This can be regarded as completing his "cultural exchange" task.

Otherwise, when they return to the capital, Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu will ask, "What did you do on your first cultural exchange trip to Hong Kong Island?"

What's your answer?

I went to the Monopoly Nightclub for a tour?And had a superstitious interaction with a master?
That was too imprecise.

. . . . . . .

On the penultimate day after leaving Hong Kong Island, Li Ye and others went to the small street specializing in customized clothes to pick up customized clothes.

After custom-made clothing is made, it is best to try it on first. If there is anything that does not fit properly, you can further make minor repairs to adjust the style and size to the best fit. It will fit better than purchased ready-made clothing.

Of course, the price is also more expensive.

At this time, ordinary ready-made clothes only cost tens or hundreds of dollars, but the clothes made by Li Ye and others cost several thousand Hong Kong dollars, which made both Jin Peng and Hao Jian feel very painful.

Do you think it would be painful if you put half a 212 Jeep in one set of clothes?

But after Jin Peng and Hao Jian put them on, they felt less pain.

Hao Jian is the weakest in appearance and figure among the few, but he usually pays the most attention to clothing and image. Now after putting on new clothes, he actually feels that he has a bit of "Pan An's appearance".

After Jin Peng looked in the mirror, he was already thinking about going home and showing his future wife-in-law a look and receiving all-around praise.

Of course, no matter how beautiful they are, they can't keep up with Li Ye even if they are tied together.

Designer A Ling personally helped Li Ye sort out his clothes, and then couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, although some words may not be appropriate to say, I still recommend that you try the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island.
Maybe in just a short time, you will be the next Xu Wenqiang! "

"no thank you."

Li Ye chuckled and refused. The Kung Fu Emperor almost couldn't survive. He was a fool to come to Hong Kong Island to mess with this big dye vat.

Seeing that Li Ye was not interested, A Ling could only sigh and give up. However, when Li Ye was about to pay, she made another request.

"Mr. Li, I want to take these clothes to Tokyo for a fashion show. Because they contain many of your creative ideas, Mr. Li, I won't charge the final payment for the clothes."

"Sorry, if you go to Paris, I would be willing to give away my creativity for free, but if you go to Tokyo, forget it."

"."

Li Ye saw the embarrassment on Aling's face. It was obvious that she had been struggling with whether to ask for Li Ye's creativity, and now that she was directly rejected, she was even more embarrassed.

Every designer has her pride, but pride can easily be crushed and crushed again in the face of reality.

In fact, A Ling could have just entered the competition with these clothes without telling Li Ye. The patent relationship between Hong Kong Island and the Mainland in the 80s could be ignored at all.

But she still asked Li Ye and was willing to pay a lot of money.

Therefore, Li Ye thought for a while and asked: "With your current financial situation, can you still afford to participate in the exhibition?"

Aling smiled gleamingly and shook his head, feeling more calm and accepting of reality than Li Ye imagined.

"Then you talk to my friend! He needs a fashion designer now."

Li Ye waved to Hao Jian, whispered a few words to him, then walked out and left.

Hao Jian looked back at Li Ye, and when he turned his head again, he had already put on the expression of a "successful person". "Hello, I am the director of Pengcheng Factory No. [-]. We now have [-] contract employees and we are recruiting excellent fashion designers from all over the world."

The number of direct employees of Pengcheng Factory No. [-] had just exceeded [-] before the Spring Festival, but the outsourcing processing plan originally planned by Li Ye has developed rapidly, and has established good processing agreements with more than [-] garment factories.

If all the people in more than 30 garment factories were counted as his own, it would be estimated that there are 3 to [-] people.

So Hao Jian's use of tiger skin as a banner is not all nonsense.

And this Aling, seeing the confusion on Hao Jian's face, had to pull Pei Wencong over halfway to verify whether the other party was a big liar.

Nearly an hour later, Hao Jian came out of the clothing store and found Li Ye.

"Brother Xiaoye, we have met a smart person this time. That Fan Xiuling is willing to join our Pengcheng No. [-] Factory, but he usually has to work in Hong Kong Island and occasionally go to Pengcheng to visit.
In addition, they also want the patent for these clothes, and use the patent to join the company, and get a commission from the sales of these clothes.
In addition, people have to entrust trading middlemen in Hong Kong Island to export clothing with us, which requires us to give them an extremely low ex-factory price. "

"."

Even though Li Ye was well-informed, he was confused for a few seconds before he smiled.

Isn't this routine the same as when I went to find Pei Wencong with "The Flying Wind"?

Seeing that Li Ye was also a little embarrassed, Hao Jian complained again: "Why are all the people in Hong Kong so good at doing business? Looking at a weak and weak woman, once she gets money, she is better than a monkey."

The commercial development of Hong Kong Island in the past few decades has brought economic benefits to the entire society, and has also formed path dependence, which has become a mentality of the entire society.

Just like later when the Mainland saw the money being made by fraudsters, the idea of ​​"one billion people and eight hundred million people was cheating" was born. Everyone thought about making money by cheating, but ignored the manufacturing industry at the source.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Have you learned? Hong Kong Island's business atmosphere is beyond our comparison. You can communicate more and learn more from here in the future, otherwise you will really be unable to play with those crooked nuts."

"Okay, for the sake of our future, I will tolerate her this time, but sooner or later I have to let him know that my advantage, Hao Jian's, is not so easy to take advantage of."

Hao Jian had long accepted the idea of ​​"going out and earning foreign currency" from Li Ye, and he didn't object fiercely at the moment. Anyway, if Li Ye said it was okay, then it would be okay!
In the evening, Pei Wencong booked a private room to entertain Li Ye, which also served as a farewell to them.

As soon as Li Ye entered the box, he saw Fan Xiuling.

Today, she did not wear business attire, but wore a long skirt. As expected, she smelled like a rich girl.

After Fan Xiuling saw Li Ye, she stood up immediately and nodded to Li Ye, obviously knowing that Li Ye was the "first brother" among the three.

And judging from her attitude towards Li Ye, maybe Pei Wencong also revealed some other secrets to him.

"Hello Mr. Li, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Although I cannot work in Pengcheng for a long time due to family reasons, I will never slack off and will definitely do my job well."

"Please sit down," Li Ye asked Fan Xiuling to sit down, and then said with a smile, "Do you really understand the work you need to do?"

Fan Xiuling was stunned for a moment and became alert.

Are you going to be a red agent?

But what Li Ye said next made her blood boil and her thoughts abound.

"Ms. Fan, it doesn't matter whether you go to Pengcheng to work or not. I will have people send you market data on all styles of clothing on a regular basis, and I will try my best to provide you with the body characteristics of mainlanders."

"Your job is not to simply design a few clothes, but to lead a style that suits the physical and mental characteristics of mainland people.
It can be said that if you are successful enough, the vast mainland market will be your runway, and one billion people will be your models. "

Fan Xiuling swallowed and said, "This... the work is very difficult and challenging."

Li Ye said directly: "We can help you set up a fashion design studio, and you will recruit assistants. But we have given you help, and you must also launch a set of works suitable for mainlanders as soon as possible to help us create a fashionable brand."

Brand is Li Ye's ultimate goal.

Pengcheng No. [-] Factory has an affiliated relationship. When the flower growers allow private enterprises to be established in more than a year's time, there will inevitably be a handover and transition.

Even if Li Ye raised Pengcheng Factory No. [-] from scratch, will Li Ye be able to take over all the assets of Pengcheng Factory No. [-] by then?

Although Li Ye has a relationship with Teacher Ke, there are some things that he cannot rely on others.

That's why Li Ye took precautions and made some preparations in advance.

Starting this year, all sales channels of Pengcheng No. [-] Factory will gradually promote one brand. In the end, people will only know this brand and not Pengcheng No. [-] Factory.

But this brand belongs to a company in Hong Kong Island.

When the public-private handover came, even if there were disputes over factory buildings, equipment, and funds, the channel was built by Hao Jian and Jin Peng, and the brand was from Hong Kong. As long as the stage was re-established, the show could continue.

First-class companies make standards, and second-class companies make brands.

Try to be second-rate first!
