In the blink of an eye, 1996 is here.
Beauty Clothing has made great progress in 1995.
The annual production of clothing exceeds 10 million pieces, the annual profit reaches 14 million, and the tax payment alone reaches more than 2 million. It is a well-known large taxpayer in the county.
Moreover, the brand of Beauty Clothing is becoming more and more famous.
Last year, Shui Hua even invited Jiang Shan, who became famous in "Enjoyed", to endorse Beauty Clothing and shoot advertisements. This move greatly increased the popularity of Liren Clothing, and even clothing dealers from Yanzhao, Qilu, and Central Plains came to order Liren Clothing.
However, Xiang Nan reminded Shuihua not to rely too much on these dealers.
They are all outsiders. One day they can sell beauty clothes, and tomorrow they can sell other people's goods. The key is to have your own sales channels.
He suggested that Shuihua build his own store and lay out his own sales channels. In this way, we can get rid of dependence on dealers and control costs.
Shui Hua readily accepted Xiang Nan's suggestion.
In fact, she also feels that always relying on dealers is not safe enough.
Liren Clothing has encountered a crisis before, and its products were returned by dealers.
And to be honest, with the addition of dealers, the price of clothes will be 30 to 40% higher when they reach consumers.
Clothes that cost 30 or 40 yuan before leaving the factory are sold for 50 or 60 yuan at a higher price. Some best-selling styles can even be sold for around 100 yuan.
A lot of profits have been made by these middlemen. And if you open your own store, the profit of Beauty Clothing will be higher, and consumers will get more benefits.
…
So in February, the first store of Liren Clothing opened on Yanjing Road in Yinchuan City.
On the opening day, all clothing is 30% off. The sales of a single store that day reached 1.5 million, which also made Shui Hua realize the power of specialty stores.
Therefore, after that, beauty clothing stores began to spread widely. Yinchuan, Chang'an, Lanzhou, Xihuan, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Ordos... within one year, more than 60 specialty stores were opened.
The establishment of these specialty stores has also allowed the factory's sales to nearly double compared to last year, and its profits to have quadrupled. It can be said to be a great success.
…
In May, Teacher Bai and Bai Maimiao also immigrated to Yuquan Camp.
"Wow, it's so well built here, with such a big factory, so many orchards..." Mai Miao couldn't help but admired the large factories, large orchards, and smooth roads.
"This factory belongs to Sister Shuihua, and this orchard belongs to Brother Yongfu." Debao said with a smile.
"Really?! Sister Shuihua is so powerful, she manages such a big factory?!" Mai Miao said in surprise. In her impression, Shuihua was still the young lady from the poor valley.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few years, he has become an entrepreneur. Look at such a large factory building, it is more lively than the county town.
"That's right. There are more than two thousand workers in this factory alone." Shui Wang nodded, "Workers who do a good job can earn seven to eight hundred a month."
"Seven to eight hundred?!" Mai Miao's eyes widened, "That's more than what dad earns."
"Of course, distribution according to work, more work will get more." Gawa said with a smile, "Well, now I work in Yongfuerge's orchard, and I earn more than 600 a month, and I can also learn skills for free.
Now I have planted three acres of grapes myself. After I have learned all the skills, I will reserve land for myself to expand planting. By then, I will be able to earn several thousand from one acre of land. "
"Really, oh!" Mai Miao was extremely envious.
…
Teacher Bai found Xiang Nan and expressed his gratitude to him.
It turns out that after Xiang Nan's works became nationally famous, a large number of tourists visited Kushui Village.
During this period, they heard that Teacher Bai was the prototype of the article "Monument", so they came to visit him one after another, and also donated money and materials to the school, which greatly improved the conditions of Yongquan Village Primary School.
Unfortunately, because many people have immigrated, the student pool has shrunk and the village primary school has been forced to close. Otherwise, he would still be teaching in the village.
"Teacher Bai, don't be sad. There is also a primary school in Yuquanying, and it is in urgent need of teachers. Don't worry about being useless." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile.
Teacher Bai smiled and nodded, "Well, I just heard that there is a primary school here, so I hurried over here."
"Whatever is missing in the school, such as tables, chairs, teaching tools, textbooks, pens, etc., just ask Teacher Bai and I won't hesitate." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "No matter how hard it is, we can't suffer the children, and no matter how poor we are, we can't afford education. The more we are like this If you live in a poor place, you must educate your children well, otherwise, you will never turn around."
"Yongfu'er, you have the same idea." Teacher Bai nodded, "The poorer the place, the more positive and hard-working the spirit is needed. And only education can change a person's spirit.
Otherwise, people will become accustomed to laziness and not want to make progress. Just like those people in our village, they are so poor that they can't even afford to wear trousers, but they are still unwilling to move. "
"Thanks to Teacher Bai for your teaching." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After Teacher Bai came to Yuquanying, Yuquanying Primary School officially opened.
Xiang Nan donated a batch of desks and chairs, a batch of chalk, a batch of extracurricular books, and a batch of footballs and basketballs to the primary school.
Shuihua also donated 62 sets of school uniforms to the school, all of which were blue and white hemp bags. In Xiang Nan's opinion, it was ugly enough, but the students and parents were very grateful.
This outfit is already the best-looking and most beautiful outfit they have ever worn. Moreover, the whole class wears such clothes, which looks uniform. To be honest, it looks much more pleasing to the eye than the previous no-name clothes.
Even Teacher Bai was satisfied.
Mai Miao was also recruited into the Liren Garment Factory and temporarily worked as a sewing girl. However, Shui Hua knows that she is smart, so she plans to train her as his assistant and help her shoulder the burden.
…
Because of Xiang Nan's arrival, the development of Yuquanying and Jintan Village has changed significantly compared to the plot.
For example, in the play, when Teacher Bai and Bai Maimiao arrived, there were no roads or electricity in the village, and there was a deserted beach as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to find a green tree.
Now, Jintan Village has electricity and roads, and the three-level water pumping station is almost completed. Moreover, there are orchards everywhere, a large area of green and lush green. The scenery is much better than in the drama, and the wind and sand are much smaller than in the drama.
At least when they arrived, they didn't encounter any more sandstorms.
In the play, Debao, Gawa, and Shuiwang had to work hard at moving bricks in a brick factory. Because Mai Miao lost his job, the three of them were forced to pick up a train.
Now, all three of them have regular jobs, working in orchards. After three years of training, he is now a skilled worker, earning more than 700 yuan a month, even more than Ma Defu earns.
Therefore, the three of them couldn't afford to pick up the train again. There is no need for Gawa to run for a new rein, and there is no need for Debao to be separated from the wheat seedlings. So, it's still pretty good.
