70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 678 Shoemaking
At the meeting at 1 p.m., Chen Qing focused on reporting the matter of the advance payment of foreign exchange, and finally discussed with them whether or not to accept the quota for Shanghai worker-peasant-soldier college students.

Wang Weiqiang immediately replied, "Of course we need it!"

Shanghai, oh.

Large cities that have existed since the Republican era.

The buildings there are all very magnificent.

How enviable!

If he weren't so old, he would have liked to go to Shanghai to study.

Xi Gaomin frowned and looked at Chen Qing: "Factory Director, what's your opinion?"

Chen Qing was also somewhat conflicted: "In my personal opinion, our vocational and technical college will try to open night classes. If someone is ambitious, it would be good for them to study there. If she has real skills, she can also go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University based on her own abilities."

Currently, the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University is not for high school or vocational school students, but for people who have made outstanding contributions to society.

As a factory with outstanding contributions, Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory also had its own quota of worker-peasant-soldier college students, so they didn't really need the quota.

However, the quota for worker-peasant-soldier college students is highly sought after no matter where it is, making it difficult to choose.

Xi Gaomin pressed further: "So, does the factory manager have a different idea?"

Chen Qing hesitated, “I want to set a goal for our garment factory: next year, we will distribute Mr. Marcus’s orders to other factories and build branch factories. We will then uniformly produce sportswear. The branch factories will be located in small towns or communes, and we can give the quotas to the five students with the best grades in the local area.”

When she first mentioned the branch factory in front of all the employees, everyone suddenly realized how quickly the factory director was moving!
Starting from scratch, merging with large factories in the second year, and opening branch factories in the third year!
The speed of this expansion is terrifying to even think about.

Having long seen through Chen Qing's ambitions, Xi Gaomin accepted the situation well and calmly asked, "What were your college entrance exam results?"

“We cannot set up a unified exam, as that would be illegal. However, we can set up factory-based assessments, allowing people with high school or vocational school diplomas to apply. We can then select the top five and give them special attention to see if they are qualified to study in Shanghai.”

Before that, all we need to do is spread the good news, letting the nearby communes and brigades know that anyone who ranks in the top five is guaranteed a job at the garment factory.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is just around the corner.

Chen Qing could only use unconventional methods to inspire a group of people's desire to learn.

Xi Gaomin thought it was a good idea, as she felt that Chen Qing valued academic performance.

It's clear from her position as the director of the factory committee at the machinery factory that she always made selections based on performance.

Chen Qing pursed her lips.

She didn't know if what she did was right.

But she herself changed her fate through her college entrance examination scores.

If she hadn't been admitted to a university in a big city and seen so many different sights, she wouldn't have had the ambition to climb the social ladder.

The college entrance examination is certainly unfair, but it is also relatively fair, at least giving poor people a chance.

But in any case, students who have taken the college entrance examination in the years since its resumption will definitely have a smoother life than others, as long as they don't do anything reckless.

The people at the conference table had no objection to how the number of university students should be allocated; they were still in a daze.

Is the goal to open a branch factory?

This speed... isn't it too fast?!

Moreover, other factories can only receive the foreign exchange they earn when the final payment is made, while their clothes are still being produced and they have to start paying the final payment. Everything is different.

Compared to these two major events, the number of college student places that Chen Qing mentioned is really insignificant.

After the meeting, Chen Qing called Senior Lin to her office. "After I went to Haishi, I visited a group of master craftsmen according to the list you gave me. They all gave you gifts. I was thinking of having two people with me on the business trip so they could help carry them, but there were too many, a total of five large sacks. I had no choice but to mail them. You should go to the post office in a few days to see if there are any packages."

"so many?"

Lin Leyu was slightly shocked. Chen Qing nodded with her eyes closed. Every time she visited the master craftsman, she promised to help deliver things to Senior Lin. As she took them, she ended up taking so many.

The guesthouse rooms were packed to capacity.

"When the package arrives, just ask Secretary Zhang to drive it home for you."

"also."

Since Lin Leyu had allowed Chen Qing to make contact with these people, she had no intention of giving up on this network.

She used to disdain dealing with these trivial matters.

But the sportswear factory was booming in the summer, and Lin Leyu felt that she could sacrifice a little face for pretty clothes.

Chen Qing then talked to her about Director Du Zhuoqun: "I plan to equip our sportswear with sports shoes so that our sports brand can directly compete on the international stage!"

"Sneakers?"

Lin Leyu likes pretty clothes, and naturally she also likes pretty shoes, because that's what makes a complete outfit.

However, she didn't know much about shoes because the shoe-making process was too complicated.

Chen Qing frowned: "Yes, we currently have no idea about shoe lasts, upper fabrics, soles, shoelaces and other accessories. Moreover, sports shoes need to have a cushioning effect, and how to make this cushioning effect is also a major problem."

Lin Leyu was confused.

She's never been in contact with it before.

But Chen Qing's idea of ​​taking the summer sports brand to the international stage is really interesting!
"It would take professional technicians to make this."

"Yes, we only have sports shoe factories in Haishi. I wanted to visit them, but they were going through a merger, so it wasn't convenient for me to go and I had to postpone it."

But if we want to make athletic shoes, they can't be the same style as theirs. Because the athletic shoes I bought from their factory aren't very competitive internationally. We need to create a different style; we need to carefully prepare the design, patterns, colors, and even the shoelaces.”

As Chen Qing spoke, he even took out some sports shoes from his own country to show Lin Leyu.

Lin Leyu took it and examined it carefully: "Is making sports shoes our most important task in the second half of the year?"

"Yes!"

"I'll leave the cushioning to the professional technicians, and I'll do my best with the design."

"Okay, hopefully our sneakers will be popular too."

Chen Qing had never been exposed to the category of athletic shoes before, and was somewhat apprehensive.

Lin Leyu reassured them, "It's okay if we fail, but we must always keep innovating."

What she valued in Chen Qing was his innovative ability.

In any case, this factory cannot stand still.

Failure is a very common thing, but if you are afraid of failure, then this factory will become mediocre.

Chen Qing: "I will!"

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Lin Leyu smiled gently and said, "Then I'll go and get back to work."

She was excited about the new challenge.

Chen Qing also began planning to poach people.

After a busy day at the factory, Chen Qing returned home to find Yang Yihe there.

"Xiaohe, you're here."
