Chapter 60 Talking about Cooperation
“Sister-in-law, aren’t you very good at embroidery? Just try it based on your intuition first.”
Huang Chunyan selected the silk thread from the many threads and traced it with a pencil. The outline, after a while, was embroidered with a petal.
In the last life, Guan Youshuang liked embroidery when she was in college, so she read many related books and videos, and even studied painting specifically for this purpose.
She could see that the acupuncture methods used by Huang Chunyan were straight acupuncture, long and short acupuncture, and back acupuncture.
Silk thread has bright luster and is indeed the most commonly used thread for embroidery nowadays. It looks good, but it is too thin and takes too much time to embroider.
"Sister-in-law, are there any other stitches that are popular nowadays?"
"There is another one, like this." Huang Chunyan embroidered a few stitches, and Guan Youshuang saw it, it was a chain stitch.
“Did you use these stitches when you embroidered pillowcases before?” Wang Huiying asked.
“These are the ones.”
Guan Youshuang thought of the pair of mandarin ducks given by Liang Yuting, which seemed to have these same acupuncture techniques.
She is not satisfied!
For the next three days, Guan Youshuang locked herself in the room, studying embroidery, and did not even answer the call from Gu Errong.
She is this kind of person. As long as she encounters a difficult problem, she will forget about food and sleep and devote herself wholeheartedly to it.
It was like this when I wrote the live broadcast system in my previous life.
My mother-in-law, Wang Huiying, couldn't bear that she didn't even eat. She would bring her food every meal time, but every time, she would take a few hurried bites and start working on her embroidery again.
She tirelessly tried every thread and every stitch. Finally, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: the traditional stitch, even if using wool thread, always failed to produce a good result. She could actually use it in the future. Only then will the popular French embroidery be added.
She quickly drew a peony pattern on the carpet, put on thick cotton thread, and started embroidering.
Because the needle is large and the thread is thick, the embroidery is much faster this time.
In order to make the flowers more realistic, she carefully matched the colors. Each petal seemed to be the same color, but in fact there were four or five different colors added inside, and the outermost layer of petals and The leaves are all made of three-dimensional embroidery.
After the embroidery was completed, she felt quite satisfied. She showed it to her mother-in-law Wang Huiying. Wang Huiying touched the circle of three-dimensional petals and praised it, saying it was so beautiful. She had never seen flowers embroidered like this before.
"Mom, if the carpet factory also likes this kind of embroidery method, I plan to transform the land in front of our door into an embroidery factory. What do you think?"
"Huh? "Wang Huiying always thought that Guan Youshuang embroidered this to find work in the county. After all, Er Rong was in the county, and it would not be good for the two of them to be separated all the time. But she didn't expect that she would change the land into a factory.
“As you know, the soil in our land is not good, and it hasn’t rained in the past two years, so we can’t grow anything. I’m thinking of turning it into an embroidery factory first, and I’ll recruit people from the nearby villages. , This will not only reduce everyone’s survival pressure, but we can also make some money ourselves.”
“Youshuang, no one has ever built a factory in the village. Is this possible? And building a factory probably requires approval. Well, it also requires a lot of money. Have you told Er Rong? "What did he say?" "He agreed, don't worry about the money, I will find a way to leave it there myself." Well, we might as well give it a try."
Wang Huiying nodded and said, "If Er Rong agrees, then you can do it. If you need help from me and your dad, just tell me."< br>
"Okay. Everything else is fine, but my brother and sister-in-law have gone out to work. I can't worry about Yuanyuan's studies. I want you and dad to keep an eye on him." Wang Huiying was embarrassed and said, "This , Your dad and I don’t understand this either.”
“I will give him good questions. If I am busy, you will watch him finish it every day and let him finish it. Just give me the date and the topic.”
Wang Huiying was really pleased. She knew that they were blessed people. Look, such a good daughter-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern.
She quickly said: "Okay, you have been working too hard these days, I will cook you something delicious. Oh, by the way, it really worked for you to take Xiaoyun to No. 1 Middle School this time. , She has been studying for most of the night every night these days, and goes to school early in the morning."
"Well, that's good. Xiaoyun is a smart child, and she will definitely be admitted to No. 1 Middle School. ”

Guan Youshuang wanted to finalize the carpet matter as soon as possible, so she went to the county seat again the next day.
The factory director actually didn't take this matter seriously. When Guan Youshuang wanted a carpet sample before, he had a gut feeling that she would definitely not be able to do it. He gave it to her simply because he liked beautiful women.
Just a carpet.
But when he saw the finished product, he was really surprised.
He has been in the carpet industry for many years, specializing in various stitching methods. He once knew embroidery, but he has never seen someone who can embroider and be so innovative, and can integrate the two elements so well. Guan Youshuang is The first person.
He put down the carpet, poured a glass of water for Guan Youshuang, nodded and said, "It's pretty good. I like your design. Please drink some water first."
"Thank you, director, let's talk about cooperation?"
"Well, please tell me."
"It's still the same as now, you specially produce a batch of flat-woven carpets, Then leave it to us to do the embroidery. After the completion, we will deliver the goods to you. The cost is calculated based on the carpet area, which is 30 yuan per square meter. But for the first batch of goods, I can buy one square meter and get one square meter free. What do you think? ?”
The factory director took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, “30 yuan is too expensive!”
“This is purely handmade. For any relatively new element, you can directly position it as a high-end product of the factory. If you have reputation and connections, you don’t have to worry about sales. As far as I know, those high-end carpets on the market sell for two to three hundred. Not to mention shipping. We bear all the shipping costs ourselves, so it’s not expensive at all.”
“Do you have a factory?”
“Not yet. , But don’t worry, I will give you all the qualifications when you ship the goods.”
The factory director was stunned, “Then you are planning to cooperate in a private name? This is probably not possible, our factory does not have it. Such a precedent."
Guan Youshuang was anxious and said quickly: "It's not in a personal name. As long as we agree on cooperation, I will organize personnel to conduct skills training. In short, don't worry, I will definitely give it to you. Delivery with guaranteed quality and quantity.”
The factory director took another sip of tea and said with a smile: “Or there is another plan. Are you willing to come to our factory? We can open a dedicated embroidery workshop and cover the entire workshop. It’s up to you to manage it.”
Guan Youshuang shook her head and said: "Thank you, director, for your kindness. I only know technology, not management. I do want to build a factory, but the main reason is to provide some job opportunities for my fellow villagers. You should also know that there are many rural areas. There are many people with excellent embroidery skills, but they just don’t have a platform.”
The factory director waved his hand and said, “Girl, we are in business, not charity. Businessmen only care about profits. There is a way to cooperate.”
The director glanced at Guan Youshuang’s chest.
