70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 364 Night Visit to the Clothing Factory
He Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It can be done. I'll go to the grocery store tomorrow and see if they have any spices."

"Row."

Chen Qing happily agreed.

evening.

Chen Qing took Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang to the garment factory.

She needs to check the quality of the garments made at the clothing factory. As everyone knows, the clothes produced by designers and factories are never the same. She needs to see the final products from the clothing factory.

Chen Qing also paid special attention to their packing process!

Packaging is of utmost importance!
She also makes incense cards, which were made by Meng Huanhuan's great-grandmother, a nurse at the machinery factory.

The old lady is 82 years old. She was brought in to make incense cards in order to improve the brand's image.

She spent two yuan on packaging, one yuan of which went to the sachet, which was engraved with the brand name of their garment factory.

Scented cards can be hung in homes or cars, or anywhere else where fragrance is desired.

The scent of Xiangca is very elegant, which matches the brand's image.

And the moment Xiangka is used, it will become a brand in some people's memories.

When Chen Qing arrived at the garment factory, the gatekeeper immediately let him in.

Chen Qing brought her two children to the garment factory hoping they could see the entire garment-making process and broaden their horizons.

Chen Qing originally wanted to take them to see the Canton Fair, but since domestic children were implicitly prohibited from wandering around, she had to give up.

As soon as she arrived, Xi Gaomin, who was busy at his work post, immediately came out to greet her: "This must be your nephew and niece, they are so beautiful."

“Yes.” Chen Qing then introduced the two siblings, “This is the factory manager of the garment factory. You can just call her Aunt Xi.”

Hello, Aunt Xi.

Both of them greeted each other respectfully.

He Yuxiang actively participated in the event today, and even dressed up specially, attempting to appear in a way that adults would like, thereby gaining the qualification to work.

He prefers to earn money honestly rather than secretly making money by sewing height-increasing insoles.

Xi Gaomin's mind wasn't on the two children: "Comrade Chen, you've come to see the finished product, right?"

"No, I'll take a look at the whole line. The preliminary work is also very important."

"Yes, I'll show you." Xi Gaomin has been extremely busy lately, but good news always puts her in high spirits. She was radiant and didn't feel tired at all because her factory had received a million-dollar order, the garment factory had expanded, and her political achievements had been elevated once again.

She brought Chen Qing to the cutting workshop, where a slogan in red paper with black characters was pasted on the wall: "Save an inch of cloth, increase your strength." The handwriting was vigorous, and the traces of paste were slightly curled at the edges.

He Yuxiang and Xiaoyu stood hand in hand beside their aunt, quietly watching the people working.

Beside the cutting table, an old-fashioned electric motor hummed softly, driving the disc-shaped cutting blade to rotate at high speed, making a sound as the blade sliced ​​through the fabric.

scoff-

A tearing sound rang out.

Both of them were shocked to see such a machine for the first time.

On the other side, workers were cutting by hand with large scissors, their movements crisp and efficient.

"Are the large parts machine-cut and the small parts hand-cut?" Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.

Chen Qing explained to her, "It's about the same. Generally, for large-scale standard production, machines are used, while for finer details, manual labor is used. However, it's basically a combination of human and machine."

Xiao Yu gave a soft "oh".

Chen Qing stepped forward to inspect.

An experienced craftswoman was bending over, spreading cloth on the table. Her fingers were rough but incredibly nimble; she pinched the edge of the cloth and gave it a gentle shake, and the entire piece of cloth flowed out like water. Her apprentice stood beside her, holding a wooden ruler, while the craftswoman used chalk to mark the cloth with precise, rhythmic strokes—a sight to behold.

She caught a glimpse of Chen Qing out of the corner of her eye, and smiled and nodded at him in greeting.

Chen Qing nodded at her.

Next, Chen Qing inspected several workshops.

When we arrived at the ironing workshop, the irons were steam-powered, so the workers had to change the water frequently. The workshop was filled with steam, and it was mostly staffed by men. They would take off their clothes before ironing, otherwise it would be too hot.

As for ironing, Chen Qing remembered that it hadn't improved much before she transmigrated. Most factories just bought industrial fans, especially wool factories, where it was unbearably hot all day.

He Yuxiang was also a little shocked as he looked at the busy workers on site. It was also the first time he had been in close contact with the workshop.

Seeing them working overtime in such hot weather, doing such tiring work, I secretly thought that I should strive to become a leader in the future.

The workers are all exhausted.

Leaders are tired too, but at least they can create an environment that allows them to enjoy themselves.

Chen Qing stepped forward to inspect the finished garment; the quality was good.

It seems that Xi Gaomin is serious. She is greedy for profit and values ​​it, and knows how to do things that are good for her.

Finally arriving at the packaging workshop, Chen Qing watched them pack the boxes. He went to the packaged area, touched and squeezed the boxes, and found they were soft. His heart sank instantly.

"Director Xi, why did the sturdy cardboard box I ordered turn out to be soft?"

A sturdy cardboard box costs about 40 cents to make, while a soft cardboard box costs 20 cents, a huge difference in cost.

But if it's a soft cardboard box, Chen Qing's design would be meaningless.

Soft cardboard boxes are bound to be damaged during transportation. Not only will the items be placed in a messy way, but the clothes will arrive at the customer's hands wrinkled and in a jumbled mess. It would be better not to use cardboard boxes at all!

However, the arrangement of Chen Qing's clothes, the way the incense cards were fixed, and the position of the little panda were all carefully considered.

This is also a gimmick used by middlemen to sell products.

The more expensive the product, the better the packaging.

Although her current pricing isn't expensive, she's selling wholesale.

By the time the product reaches the customer, it's already quite expensive. If their garment factory wants to achieve sustainable development, packaging is just as important as the product itself.

Because Chen Qing's target customer group wants more than just clothes; they want a sense of recognition from their peers.

What value does this cardboard box bring?
Xi Gaomin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Because sturdy cardboard boxes require special approval."

Chen Qing's voice grew colder: "Hasn't our foreign exchange earnings reached the specially approved quota?"

"Although our foreign exchange reserves have reached the specially approved quota, we can't transport them all. Moreover, we are now advocating thrift. We spent 40 cents on a box of clothes and were criticized for being too extravagant."

"Where was the extravagance and waste..." Chen Qing was so angry he was speechless. He asked, "How many of them used soft-sided boxes?"

Xi Gaomin pulled the packaging workshop director over.

Chen Qing's gaze was extremely intimidating. The packaging workshop director felt his scalp tingle and stammered, "There are about a thousand."

Chen Qing asked, "Have they all been sent out?"

"It's piled up in the warehouse, it'll be ready to leave soon."

"Stop him, redo it." Chen Qing immediately ordered in a cold voice, then turned to Xi Gaomin and said, "Go to your office for a meeting."

She didn't want to criticize Xi Gaomin in front of many workers.

Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang followed silently like quails.
