All work clothes in the city are produced here, so the business of this clothing factory is booming now.
But not long after, as large factories and mines went bankrupt one after another, the clothing factory also had no business.
The factory director was very foresighted. When everyone thought that the garment factory was booming, he started planning for transformation, and the garment factory was able to survive later.
However, although the Municipal Garment Factory survived that wave, Li Wenjun had not heard of any subsequent competition with private enterprises, so it should have finally withdrawn from the stage of history.
The reason is that the style is too backward and there is no market for it.
He admired the factory director's foresight and planned to help him and open up another path for himself.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is one of the secrets of making money.
"Hello. I'm Mo Yongxing." A trembling man's voice came from the phone.
Li Wenjun couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Hello, Director Mo, I am the chairman of Wenjun Fashion Design. My name is Li Wenjun."
Strictly speaking, Wenjun Fashion Design is not a joint-stock company, so it is not strict for him to call himself chairman. But when dealing with high-end people, you have to package yourself as high-end as possible.
A name is a stepping stone. As long as you knock on the door and get in, no one will care whether the name is true or false.
But if you don't have the ability and can't bring benefits to others, no matter how genuine your reputation is, it's useless.
After all, it is still profit.
Factory Director Mo said: "You said that the yellow skirt last time was designed by you." He made a batch of the skirt last time and sold well. However, if there is only one style, customers will quickly Will be tired. So after a wave of sales, it stopped working.
Then he couldn't find anything quite like that dress.
This made him anxious. It's like discovering a gold mine but not having the right tools to dig it out.
Li Wenjun said: "Strictly speaking, it was designed by Comrade Gu Zhanyan, the designer of our company."
Director Mo whispered: "Comrade Gu Zhanyan..."
He actually asked the reporter, and the reporter said that the back figure on the stage receiving the award was Wang Xiaolan, and she was not the same person as the beautiful woman in the full-length photo. When he thought about the connection between Wang Xiaolan's anomalies, he immediately understood.
"Comrade Gu Zhanyan must be the lesbian who took a full-body photo in the newspaper."
Li Wenjun: "Yes, Director Mo is so smart."
Director Mo thought for a moment: "You want to provide us with more designs." Although he was eager to get good designs, he also suffered a loss from Wang Xiaolan, so he was more cautious.
Li Wenjun said: "Yes. Let's do this. I know it is too risky to directly ask you to sign a contract and pay me the design fee. We will pay the design fee by drawing a commission on the design. What do you think?"
Factory Director Mo found it very strange: "Take a commission?"
Li Wenjun said: "Well, I will give you the design draft, and you will give me 10% of each skirt. You will give me whatever you sell. If you can't sell it, you don't have to give me a penny."
Director Mo slapped the table: "Hey, this is good." Not to mention that he still has to check, even if he makes a mistake, he will lose the cost of a few skirts, which is better than just sitting around and waiting to die.
Factory Director Mo was still uneasy and asked, "But aren't you afraid that if I sell it, I will lie about the sales volume and give you less or no commission?"
Li Wenjun said: "I will check the sales situation every once in a while. But since it is cooperation, of course it is based on mutual trust. I believe that if Director Mo thinks my design is good, he will definitely want me to design more for you." If it’s more, of course you won’t give me less commission.”
Director Mo nodded: "Yes, that's the truth. I like talking to smart people. When will you bring the design draft?"
Li Wenjun: "I will send it out today, together with the contract that I have stamped and signed. If you see that there is nothing wrong with the contract, just sign, seal and send it back with your fingerprints. However, I also want to protect myself, so for the first time, I will I only give you a design draft first. You can make ten of each in large, medium and small sizes and send them to the city department store to try them out."
Factory Director Mo nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's settled. Please send it by expedited registered mail. That way, I can receive it the day after tomorrow."
Li Wenjun hung up the phone, typed out the contract, sorted it out, stamped it and signed it, went home, selected a dress from Gu Zhanyan's drawings, colored it, and then took it to the post office to mail it together.
After all this work, it’s almost time to get off work.
He simply went home and took out the stone Li Wenyong gave him yesterday to study it carefully.
Later, when he went out to get involved in the jade business, he learned that in fact, this pyrite mine not only produced pyrite, but could also produce an associated mineral called black sapphire.
Black sapphire is rich in iron and has a dark body with golden metallic lines, so it is also called "Venus Black Jade" in the industry.
Pyrite associated with black sapphire shows a silvery luster.
It just so happened that the iron ore in their pyrite area had a silvery sheen.
So he suspected that there was black sapphire, but it was only in small quantities and no one found it.
-----
After the stone was cleaned, it became increasingly black and shiny, and you could vaguely see dots of golden spots. It really looked like Venus and Black Jade.
He was secretly happy and weighed it with his hands. The fist-sized stone weighed 5 or 6 kilograms.
I quickly took a steelyard and a basin, used a scale to weigh the piece, and used the drainage method to calculate the volume and thus the density.
Although the method is relatively crude, it can still illustrate the problem.
The estimated density is approximately 3kg/cubic decimeter.
The density is also consistent with the 2.90-3.2kg/cubic decimeter of Venus ink jade.
He brought another glass bottle and a fruit knife.
The Mohs hardness of quartz is 6.5, and the Mohs hardness of iron is about 5.
The hardness of jadeite is 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which is close to that of iron ore. In other words, if the stone is jadeite, then using quartz stone, which is the tip of a glass bottle, can make scratches, but not using a metal knife.
He wrapped the glass bottle in a cloth and walked to the back and knocked it with the back of a kitchen knife. The bottom of the glass bottle shattered and turned into a sharp glass knife that shone with cold light.
Sure enough, the glass knife left shallow scratches on the stone. But the blade of the fruit knife was helpless against the stone. No matter how many times it was scratched, there was no change at all.
The hardness is also right.
Even if it is not Venus ink jade, it is definitely jadeite.
Moreover, Venus ink jade is different from ordinary ink jade that is colored by graphite. It is slightly green after polishing, so it is actually a kind of sapphire. The price is more expensive than full black jade.
Li Wenjun was extremely shocked. He sat on the chair and stared blankly at the stone on the table: Let me go, it can't really be Venus Moyu.
After getting rich, these people guarded a gold mine, but they didn't know that they later just let this big mine be sealed up, and no one cared about it ever since.
