Chapter 406 Blessing
The second is Ning Weimin’s own business.
Let’s talk about clothing first, because the more you travel, the more doors open up, and the more you do it, the more you become familiar with it.
The street sewing club relies on wholesale and processing, and Luo Guangliang and his brothers rely on retail and monopoly to cut standard goods, and both make a lot of money.
Even the self-employed in the Qianmen area and other unlicensed vendors on Xiushui Street have made a lot of money by accepting the popular goods from Ning Weimin.
However, even in such a prosperous situation, everyone is happy.
Ning Weimin accidentally let Ning Weimin seize a rare business opportunity.
This time, Pierre Carton went to China from France to sign a contract, and he also brought many relatively new styles of clothing, hoping to test the market in the Republic.
According to the established practice, the styles of these clothes have not been verified by the market and will certainly not be mass-produced.
We can only produce a dozen or dozens of pieces in small quantities to test the market’s acceptance.
As a result, not only Song Huagui suffered a headache, but also all the state-owned garment factories were in trouble.
Because making these clothes requires a lot of workmanship and time, not to mention the small quantity.
Whoever Song Huagui sent it to, no one liked to receive it.
At the factory, who has taken such an order is worried.
However, when Ning Weimin learned about this, he couldn't help but start making plans.
Because it is obvious that the sewing club on Meishi Street is the most suitable place for this kind of work.
Compared to ordinary tailor shops, street sewing clubs have a certain scale.
And it is very flexible in operation, not as rigid as a state-owned garment factory.
The only thing that can be considered is whether the quality can pass the test.
Of course Ning Weimin knows how strict the workmanship requirements of Pierre Carton brand clothing are.
Sometimes even if the placket is slightly misaligned, it must be reworked.
He felt that the amateur level of those old women in the sewing club might be too much.
So just to be on the safe side, I could only let the sewing club try out a few pieces first.
If he can get by, he can talk to Song Huagui.
I really didn’t expect that the sewing club is really talented.
Su Jin is simply a blockbuster!
As the only male member of the sewing club, his tailoring skills are unique to Scorpion.
Ning Weimin was not only shocked when he saw the sample made by Su Jin, but also became more confident.
Sure enough, he took these clothes to Song Huagui and took a look at them, and the job was successfully settled.
Hey, it’s so appropriate to look at this now!
First, Ning Weimin gained the favor of the leader.
Song Huagui was very happy and believed that Ning Weimin was indeed his right-hand man and worthy of relying on.
He can take the initiative to share his worries without even mentioning it himself. This is so rare.
Secondly, Ning Weimin also conveniently sold a favor to those in the state-owned garment factory.
When those factories learned that Ning Weimin had taken over the job, there was no factory director or person in charge who did not wish him well.
To express his gratitude, the factory would of course agree to take extra care of the goods given to him.
Thirdly, everyone in the street sewing club is very happy about this.
Don’t look at the processing fees of state-owned factories, which cost 13 to 4 yuan for a single coat and more than 30 yuan for a coat.
But the operating costs of a street sewing club are a little higher?
That's a fat spot that they can't even reach.
Even if Ning Weimin peeled off a layer of skin, what was left to the street sewing club was only eight or nine yuan for a single coat and more than twenty yuan for the production of a coat.
It’s enough to make Director Li, Aunt Bian and Su Jin happy.
They did a rough calculation and calculated it as 200 pieces per month.
Su Jin and five skilled temporary female workers will work together, which is enough to cope with it.
If the workers’ processing fees are excluded, the sewing club can almost earn thousands of dollars.
Be good! This is enough to pay a full month’s salary to more than a dozen people!
It can’t be said to be a pie falling from the sky at all, but a meat pie falling from the sky.
It is also oily and shiny!
So after getting Ning Weimin’s promise that he would not be short of work for at least two years.
Director Li and Aunt Bian resolutely recruited ten more people, and they also made a forward-looking and courageous decision.
I spent 3,000 yuan to buy a semi-old ironing machine and a second-hand buttonhole buttoning machine to enhance my clothing-making capabilities.
To put it bluntly, a shotgun has been replaced with a cannon!
Since then, the sewing club has been no longer a pure handicraft workshop.
Instead, it has a bit of a meaning of mechanical automation.
Even Ning Weimin’s other work also benefited.
Even if you don't talk about morality and conscience.
Ning Weimin could have plagiarized it directly, followed Pierre Carton's clothing design completely, and asked the sewing club to use domestic fabrics to produce it.
As long as he sells it on the market, he can easily get huge returns.
There is also a cigarette shop over there.
As the economy improves, it directly stimulates social demand for tobacco and alcohol.
In the peak season at the end of this year, compared with the big price increase at the end of last year, the market is not bad at all.
In addition, many people are willing to take money from their mouths and save money on clothes. Throughout the year, they look forward to saving enough money to buy a color TV or a cassette player as soon as possible.
The home appliance business also exploded.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as December entered, Zhang Shihui and his wife were extremely busy, making money for Ning Weimin without even touching the ground.
But on the other hand, precisely because business was so good during this period, Ning Weimin had some doubts about answering Zhang Shihui's call for several days.
Because until now, he still has not been able to fulfill his promise to recruit workers for the tobacco shop.
To be honest, it’s not that he didn’t take it seriously, but that he really couldn’t find a suitable one.
It turned out that he finally found two unemployed young people with suitable temperaments.
Unexpectedly, one person was called back by his family after only two days of working.
My parents said they would rather starve to death than let their children work as individuals, for fear of being a bad learner.
The other one was quite practical, but after working for ten days, he found that he had an old cough, a kind of choking cough that couldn't be stopped.
Later I went to the hospital for a check-up, and my dear, I was actually diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Zhang Shihui was frightened to death on the spot. For fear that he would also be infected, he quickly gave the plague god a month's salary and sent him away.
So as soon as Ning Weimin answered Zhang Shihui's call, he had to complain and be scolded.
Zhang Shihui complained to him, saying that she no longer had time to learn and practice driving, and that her daughter-in-law had to ask for leave from her employer all the time.
Either urging Ning Weimin to find someone else quickly, or forcing him to go to the cigarette shop to help.
Ke Ning Weimin’s time was almost occupied by the sculpture exhibition.
What's more, when joining the Yantai Hotel, he has always been responsible for strategic guidance. How can he have time to do such a small thing?
Whether it was perfunctory or rejection, he was very embarrassed.
Finding someone is not something that can be done in a short time.
So in the end we had no choice but to temporarily let Zhang Shihui's father-in-law and mother-in-law take turns.
This solves the problem of manpower not being able to keep up with the business explosion.
But things in life are just that interesting.
Don’t look at it. Sometimes, we are anxious about what we need or desire. The more anxious we are, the less we can find it.
But I want you to give up, don’t worry.
Maybe as soon as you look back, you will immediately find that what you urgently need is right in front of you, at your hand.
The same goes for finding someone.
Ning Weimin never expected that the person he needed would be found at the door of the postal market, and it was because of the zodiac ticket.
In the past year, Ning Weimin has rarely come to the philatelic headquarters in Donghua Gate.
In the first half of the year, it was because I had no money, and in the second half of the year, it was because I was too busy.
But by the end of the year, no matter how busy he is, he still has to find some time to run here.
Because he missed the dog tickets at the beginning of the year, he still wanted to seize the time and get them together at the lowest cost possible.
He has great ambitions in his heart.
If this carefully planned method of making money is missing this link, it will not achieve the best results.
That would be a pity for him in this world.
He himself would feel that he wasted his chance of rebirth, which was too insulting to his identity as a time traveler.
As a result, he discovered that the market situation in the grove in front of the Philatelic Corporation was very different from the end of last year.
First, the price of the monkey ticket has jumped to twenty-two. Moreover, chicken votes and dog votes are also on the rise.
Perhaps it was the butterfly effect caused by his manipulation.
The increase in these zodiac tickets. They are much higher than the historical data in his memory, almost catching up with the price two years later.
Don’t ask, he must be sending monkey tickets to lower the market.
The price is gone, and the whole page is worth it.
The second is that he discovered that brokers have loomed in this market.
That is, an intermediary that connects buyers and sellers.
Of course, the intermediaries in this era are far less professional, awesome, and capable of deception than they will be in the future.
To put it bluntly, they are people who live nearby and have nothing to do. Whenever they get the opportunity, they want to make money from a pack of cigarettes by brokering a deal.
Among them, there is such a middle-aged woman with a special figure who is particularly conspicuous.
She wears a pair of glasses and is probably in her early forties.
I don’t know whether it was natural or an injury, but her neck was inserted into her chest at an angle, causing big bulges in the front and back of her body.
The chin is close to the collarbone and tilted to the right, and the head looks like it is poking out from a jar.
The entire upper body is only half as long as the legs. The legs appear to be long and thin, and they walk like an ostrich.
But despite her physical condition, she is diligent, polite, and can also talk.
You may not know anything about stamps, but the advantage of this person is that he can take care of everyone he meets.
When I almost stopped to rest in the postal market, I kept chatting with someone.
Moreover, she has a good memory and is very familiar with the buying and selling prices of several types of stamps that are frequently traded.
It really makes a deal, and everyone on both sides will thank you.
After Ning Weimin came once or twice, with her efforts to recruit, he also sold a dozen monkey tickets through her, and kindly took care of this person's business.
It turns out that this eldest sister, who is like a "shrinking neck", is simply too easy to be satisfied.
After earning five yuan from him, I almost worshiped him as God.
In fact, this is also normal.
After all, the scale of the postal market is still small these days. Unlike in the future, it will only be transactions of boxes and plates.
A wealthy businessman like Ning Weimin is unique in his own right.
Even if he makes large transactions, he needs no introduction. He must be looking for old connections.
What's more, the stamp dealers on the market are really stingy and slippery.
Never give someone a favor based on the amount of the transaction. Instead, give someone a few cents according to your mood.
As a result, no matter how diligent the "Shinkouer Jar" is, he can only earn 80 cents a day at most.
Even though she has excellent communication skills and is familiar with people from the Philatelic Corporation.
It was no use even entering someone's office to add boiling water to Ning Weimin's tea cup.
Still having a miserable time.
In the middle of winter, cotton-padded clothes are thin, and the warmest clothing is the big scarf around the head.
In an era when there were no more patches, there were still two or three spots on her body that were visible at a glance.
Needless to say, it was probably due to the pressure of life that I had the advanced consciousness and courage to do this.
As expected, Ning Weimin’s judgment was correct, and he found out clearly as soon as he asked.
This eldest sister’s surname is Tan, and she claims to live on the beach.
Because of his physical disability, he does not have a serious job, so he earns some income by showing bicycles to Changhong Cinema every afternoon and evening.
My family is orphaned and widowed. The backbone of her family disappeared the year before last, but her son and daughter are still in school.
Can it be done without earning money? You have to live no matter what?
So, after confirming with other people in the market that what he said was true, Ning Weimin spoke to Sister Tan.
He sincerely invited this eldest sister to work in the cigarette shop.
He said that he would look after the store from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, and the monthly salary would be 80.
Depending on the situation, there will also be bonuses.
Of course Sister Tan is willing to such generous conditions.
She doesn't care about any individual, but feels that her own fortune is in her favor.
She still had some concerns about the time.
Sister Tan then explained to Ning Weimin that she could not abandon the cinema halfway.
She had to let others find her replacement before she could come at the time Ning Weimin wanted.
Currently we can only work from eight o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course, the salary can be lower, she has no objection.
Needless to say, such a reply is actually more kind.
Such character undoubtedly made Ning Weimin feel more at ease.
Later, Sister Tan no longer had to brave the strong wind to make money.
At the same time, Zhang Shihui’s father-in-law and mother-in-law were completely liberated.
Although Zhang Shihui didn't think much of this person's honor at first.
In my heart, I was very jealous of Ning Weimin who soaked in flowers every day, while he could only "prick his eyes" every day.
But later he was satisfied.
Because Sister Tan is very capable of doing things.
With a clear mind, you can do whatever you want, which saves you trouble and trouble.
After all, I am a car watcher.
I remember the tobacco and alcohol accounts very clearly, and the money figures are accurate.
And she still has a job in her sights.
The store is cleaned brightly and spotlessly every day, and boiling water is always available.
The most important thing is to be good at dealing with all aspects of relationships.
No matter who approved the goods, the neighborhood committee, industry and commerce, taxation, or even the landlord Zhang Dashao, they all made her lose her temper and act calmly.
This left Zhang Shihui speechless. He would have to let him go again unless he was stupid.
On the contrary, Ning Weimin got it and became quite arrogant.
What is the ability to recognize people?
From now on, he has to say a few words every time he answers Zhang Shihui's phone call.
Zhang Shihui is greatly advantaged by such a talent who boasts about his sharp eyesight.
Zhang Shihui is not happy to hear it.
As long as he dares to show off, Ning Weimin will say that WHO is afraid of WHO? I want to transfer Sister Tan to the sewing club.
Zhang Shihui was squeezed so much that he was helpless.
In short, for Ning Weimin, the end of 1982 was too smooth.
That's really white snowflakes floating in white.
White silver white photos.
If you get money for nothing, just jump into his arms.
Not only is he doing well, before New Year's Day comes, even our country's sports performance is boosted and makes people happy.
At the end of the same year, the common people of the Republic, who were eating cabbage and boiled tofu, collectively witnessed the closing of the 9th Asian Games in New Delhi, India, live on television.
Everyone was excited to see that the Republic won a total of 61 gold medals, ranking first in the total number of gold medals in the Asian Games for the first time.
AFP issued a cable stating, "The country that was once known as the 'Sick Man of East Asia' in sports has become Asia's number one sports power, ending Japan's 31-year history of dominating the Asian sports world. ”
I wonder if such a surprising breakthrough, in addition to the efforts of the athletes, is also due to the fact that the cabbage is growing well and tastes particularly sweet this year?
On the other hand, compared with the situation in the Republic, the international community is not so peaceful.
Countries that don’t have cabbage to keep them safe don’t seem to understand that peace is a blessing and they don’t want to get rich.
The fight was like a hot kiln, with hostility and unrest everywhere.
In Afghanistan, anti-government guerrillas retook some areas occupied by the Soviet Union and entered a tug-of-war.
In the Middle East, PLO leader Arafat has just escaped another assassination attempt on him.
In Iraq, President Saddam Hussein was also attacked by gunmen.
At this time, the Iran-Iraq war has entered its third year...
Even the United Kingdom and Argentina have many families immersed in the just-concluded "Falok Islands Naval War" In mourning the loss of a loved one.
1982, it just passed...
