The next morning, Zhang Chong drove Xu Yiyang and Xu Ma to Dongshili.

The clothing factory where Xu's mother worked before was in Dongshili, but Xu Yiyang had never been there before, and today was the first time.

On the way, Xu's mother introduced Xu Yiyang to the clothing factory called Guancheng Garment, a private enterprise that has been in business for more than ten years.

Guancheng Garment's business was relatively good in the early years, but its efficiency has become worse and worse in recent years. In the end, it could only survive by relying on mass customization from local schools and companies.

But even so, the business is not in order.

Starting last year, a large clothing factory in Quancheng went everywhere to grab orders. It not only competed maliciously, but also blatantly offered kickbacks. Many Yingzhou enterprises and schools had their orders taken away by the other party.

Director Li of Guancheng Garments was an upright person but not very adaptable. He could not find the key people for school and unit procurement, so he gradually lost out in the competition.

Because it has been losing money, Guancheng Garment still owes a lot of bank loans and has been unable to make ends meet since the beginning of the year.

Dongshili, where Guancheng Garment is located, is generally relatively deserted. There are basically no buildings above five floors on both sides of the national highway, making it particularly depressed.

At a fork in the road beside the national highway, a mottled billboard hung, which read: Guancheng Garment Company, 800 meters inward.

As the car drives in, you can see an open-air driving range for a driving school next to it.

Xu Yiyang took a glance and found some twisted bamboo poles erected everywhere in the venue, and some students were practicing dumping around a few green 212 jeeps.

So he asked Zhang Chong: "Old Zhang, is it troublesome to get your driver's license now?"

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "What's the trouble? If you pass the theory test, you can pass the driving test after just a few days of practice. Did you see those bamboo poles in their venue? It's similar to this during the test. As long as you don't If you knock the pole away, the examiner will give you a pass."

With that said, Zhang Chong added: "I have a buddy who works at the Vehicle Management Office. If you want to get your driver's license, I'll say hello to you and you'll definitely get it within twenty days at the earliest."

"So fast?" Xu Yiyang was extremely surprised. In his previous life, he took the driver's license test only after graduating from college, and he took the test in Yanjing. At that time, the test was not too troublesome, but it took him a month or two before he failed in one subject.

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "We don't have many people learning to drive here, and the exams are scheduled very quickly. If you learn quickly, you can take one exam a week, theory first. During the written exam, I will find someone for you to pass directly. The venue I will also help you find a relationship with the road test, and it should be settled soon."

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "So simple?"

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "You can even find an acquaintance in the exam, say hello and turn a blind eye and pass."

Xu Yiyang felt a little moved when he heard this.

He has been a driver for more than ten years and can easily pass the exam without going through the back door. The main reason is that he is afraid of being delayed for too long.

But since the exam is so casual now, it should be quick to get a driver's license.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyang said to Zhang Chong: "When I leave the clothing factory later, I will stop by the driving school and I will sign up."

While he was talking, the car had already arrived at the door of Guancheng Garments.

On the front door, there are four big characters painted on the iron sheet: Guancheng Clothing.

The paint letters were cracked and mottled, looking particularly defeated.

The factory occupies a large area. In addition to an old-fashioned red brick factory building, there are several bungalows and a yard of two to three thousand square meters.

Although the place is big, the land is really worthless in this poor place like Dongshili.

Guancheng Garment now doesn't even have a guard. The rusty iron door is open, and Zhang Chong drives the car directly into the yard.

There are no cars in the yard, only a row of tattered bicycles placed against the wall. The only motor vehicle is an old scooter. Just from this means of transportation, you can see the embarrassment of Guancheng Garment.

The mother sitting next to Xu Yiyang pointed to a bungalow next to the factory and said, "That is the factory director's office."

Zhang Chong simply parked the car at the door of the factory director's office.

Immediately, the car turned off and the three people pushed the door and got out of the car.

At this time, several employees inside poked their heads out and felt particularly strange to see a brand-new car.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized Xu's mother and asked in surprise: "Sister Lu, why are you here?!"

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Ma, I'm coming over to talk to the factory director about something."

The man laughed and said, "Sister Lu is so awesome! He's already in a car! Oh, this is your son, right? I've seen it on TV! He's so promising!"

Xu Yiyang nodded to the elder sister. Xu Ma smiled humbly and was about to speak when the door to the factory director's office suddenly opened and a young woman in her twenties appeared at the door.

Xu Yiyang glanced at this woman and couldn't help but be surprised.

In fact, based on the aesthetics he developed in later generations, most women these days don't have any amazing feeling.

Gu Sijia and Shen Lele are just little girls who are still childish. They are good-looking, but their temperament is still too childish.

Moreover, even mature women in their twenties rarely impress him, because in his opinion, they either have a crude temperament or poor clothing quality.

Especially the issue of clothing, this is really a huge gap left by the times.

The clothes that women in this era think are very fashionable are hard to look at in Xu Yiyang's eyes.

However, the woman in front of him not only had delicate and beautiful facial features and a slim and tall figure, but more importantly, her clothes gave Xu Yiyang the illusion that the eras overlapped.

She was wearing a loose white women's shirt, with the sleeves casually rolled up to her elbows, and the shirt had light natural wrinkles.

The lower body is a pair of light blue straight jeans. I don't know if they are washed and distressed, or if they are really old. The light blue with white tone of the jeans looks perfect to Xu Yiyang.

Compared with the large bell-bottom pants that are a disaster on the street, these ordinary straight pants look particularly fresh.

Moreover, she tied her long hair into a bun and rolled up her sleeves, giving people a very capable look.

The woman stood at the door and was a little surprised when she saw a brand new Buick car driving in.

Looking at the three people beside the car, I found that Xu's mother looked familiar, and then said in surprise: "Aunt Lu?"

Xu's mother was equally surprised and asked: "Xiaoxuan? When did you come back? Where is Director Li?"

The young woman said: "Aunt Lu, I just came back at the beginning of the month. My dad has not been in good health recently. He was hospitalized for a few days some time ago and has just been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home."

Xu's mother hurriedly asked: "Is Director Li okay?"

The young woman smiled slightly and said: "It's just that I was overworked and in a bad mood, and my body couldn't bear it. But I'm feeling better now. I'm recuperating at home."

Xu Ma nodded and asked, "Are you in charge of the factory for Director Li now?"

"Yes." The young woman sighed and said helplessly: "My father's health condition means he can no longer attend to the factory, so I came back to help him for a while. Aren't we looking for a buyer for the factory? I found him. If so, then take action.”

Xu Ma nodded, introduced Xu Yiyang next to her, and said: "By the way, Xiaoxuan, this is my son, Xu Yiyang."

Xu Yiyang nodded to her and said, "Hello."

The young woman smiled and said: "Hello, I have heard everyone talking about you for a long time, saying that you are very powerful!"

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan, please don't praise him."

After saying that, he said to Xu Yiyang: "Yangyang, this is Director Li's daughter, Li Xuan, you have to call her Sister Xuan."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Hello, Sister Xuan."

"Hello!" Li Xuan smiled and said hurriedly: "Come in and sit down!"

Xu's mother took Xu Yiyang in and said with a smile: "I brought my son here because he wanted to order a batch of T-shirts. I wonder if our factory is still accepting orders now?"

"Take it!" Li Xuan looked happy and said, "I'm looking for orders everywhere every day. If the factory can't be sold in a day, it has to continue to operate. Once it stops working, it won't be able to sell at a high price."

If a factory can no longer operate normally, buyers will definitely lower the price to the death.

Because he knew that after the factory stopped production, the factory owner simply could not afford it and had no choice but to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Therefore, if you want to sell at a normal price, you must ensure that the factory is still operating normally.

If you want the factory to operate normally, there must be orders.

Li Xuan said, looked at Xu Yiyang, and asked: "Mr. Xu, I wonder what kind of T-shirts you want to order and what is the approximate quantity?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Sister Xuan, please don't call me Mr. Xu in front of my mother. Just call me by my name."

Li Xuan smiled and said: "When talking about business, it's more formal to call me Mr. Xu."

Xu Yiyang didn't insist and went straight to the point: "That's it. I want to order a batch of short-sleeved T-shirts and print my brand logo on them."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "This is no problem, we can do it. I wonder how many pieces Mr. Xu is going to order?"

Xu Yiyang thought for a while and said: "In terms of quantity, I would like to order 20,000 pieces first. If the scale of the training class expands, there will definitely be more."

Jiayang Education currently has several thousand students in English and math classes combined, and it will soon continue to expand to surrounding areas. Maybe by the end of the summer, the total number of students in several cities will exceed tens of thousands.

So 20,000 pieces are only the first batch.

What Xu Yiyang wants is to make these cultural shirts and put them into new cities first.

At that time, we can directly treat the cultural shirts as a promotional activity. For example, the first two thousand people who sign up will be given away directly. This will be more conducive to promotion.

The cost of T-shirts is not high. If there are two thousand children running around in an urban area of a city wearing such T-shirts, the publicity effect will definitely be very good.

When it develops into Quancheng and Qingdao, the two largest cities in the province, cultural shirts with logos printed on them will definitely have a greater miraculous effect in publicity.

Moreover, I can also send a batch to veteran students in Yingzhou and use it as a subsequent registration promotion or consumption deposit promotion. For example, if you sign up for two consecutive periods, you will get one item, and if you deposit more than 200 yuan, you will get one item.

It seems like a gift, but in reality the more you give away, the more you earn.

Li Xuan was startled by this number and asked subconsciously: "Mr. Xu, you just said you wanted 20,000 pieces?!"

Xu Yiyang gave her an affirmative answer: "Yes, it's 20,000 pieces. This is just the first batch."

When Li Xuan heard this, she immediately felt like she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

She originally thought that a few hundred or even a thousand items would be a big deal, but she really didn't expect that Xu Yiyang asked for 20,000.

During the recent period, Li Xuan has been troubled by the situation in her own clothing factory. Not only she owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans from the bank, but her orders are almost finished.

The factory laid off a number of employees a year ago, and has been relying on some last-minute orders to make ends meet.

And the biggest problem is that there are fewer and fewer last orders, and no new orders are coming in. Once these last orders are completed, the factory will have no more orders to make. Once there are no orders, the factory will inevitably stop production and employees will have to After demobilization, the only option left for the factory was to sell it at cabbage prices.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yiyang suddenly came out at this time and asked for 20,000 T-shirts.

The garment factory has not yet found a new buyer, and the remaining orders will be completed soon. The most important thing now is to find orders so that the factory can maintain operations.

Even if you don't make money, you can at least feed the workers and keep the factory running.

Therefore, these 20,000 T-shirts are indeed a life-saving timely rain for Guancheng Garments!

At a glance, the monthly vote list dropped to sixth place, and was more than doubled by fifth place. I felt like my body was being hollowed out... Brothers, it's already been ten updates! Seeing how hard Bu Ge has worked, I will write a monthly ticket again! ! !
