Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 53 A Thoughtful Little Girl

Mr. He was a major client, so Jin Yuanyuan didn't dare to neglect him. She quickly invited him to her large office to see the samples. Mr. He wasn't pretentious at all. He even picked up another piece of bamboo shoot and ate it, then smiled and said to Uncle Qin, "Brother, wait for me. You eat first, and we'll continue talking in a bit."

"Okay." Uncle Qin was also very happy, and sat down at the door to continue sunbathing and eating his stewed pork and bamboo shoots. "I'll prepare something later, so we can have a good meal tonight."

From the large office, one could see the hosiery workshop, so Boss He simply stood in front of the large window watching the hosiery knitting machines running at high speed. He took a few extra glances at the new hosiery knitting machines and nodded: "New ones are better. They look simple and are easier to use than your previous ones."

"Well, most of the sock knitting machines these days are imported from abroad. I ordered ten more, but we'll have to wait for them to be shipped over, which will definitely be after the holiday." Jin Yuanyuan took out the best bagged tea in the office and said with a dry laugh, "Well, this is all I have here. You'll have to make do with this."

"Then forget it." Boss He glanced at it and immediately shook his head. "Do you have any plain water? I'll just have some water."

"Wait a moment, I'll boil a kettle." Jin Yuanyuan hurriedly prepared to boil water.

"Never mind then." Boss He had already seen the milk tea on Jin Yuanyuan's table. "You're still young. Drinking milk tea will make you fat."

"Don't worry, don't worry, you need to drink your fill to have the energy to lose weight." Jin Yuanyuan chuckled dryly again. This kind of conversation was actually quite awkward. If it weren't for Zhao Zhuoran last time, she probably wouldn't have been able to negotiate with this Boss He.

Thinking of Zhao Zhuoran, she asked again, "Did you go there for a meal? He's opening a new shop in Xixi in the spring, you should go there sometime."

"Hmm, Wanghu Pavilion, and Wangjiang Pavilion in Shanghai, both are good, the food is quite delicious." Boss He touched all the sample socks, then stood in front of the wool socks and touched them carefully again before asking, "How much heat can your thickest socks withstand?"

"Wool socks and thermal fleece socks, thicker ones. To be honest, these kinds of socks are most suitable for winter, but if you're talking about those advertised socks that can be worn even in minus thirty degrees Celsius, it depends on the environment and what shoes you're wearing. But these thick socks are generally fine." Jin Yuanyuan now emphasizes honesty, especially when talking to clients, she only talks about the most basic things.

"How about this one?" Boss He pinched one of them again. "The color is alright."

"These are German fleece socks. They are about 90% German fleece, have a super thick terry cloth, and also contain XJ long-staple cotton. They are sweat-absorbent and breathable. There are currently seven colors available, all of which are basic colors and can be matched with any outfit."

"Wow, looks like you've done a lot of research lately. Well said." Boss He nodded approvingly.

"That's right. Ever since I met you, I've felt that I need to study hard. Otherwise, if an expert like you asks me a question and I can't answer it, it's not just embarrassing. If I don't sell these socks, my mom will kill me." Jin Yuanyuan smiled brightly.

"Yes, it's good to learn more. Look at me, I'm over sixty, and I still like to travel around and learn new things." Boss He touched the pair of German fleece socks again, and Jin Yuanyuan immediately found all the color swatches of the socks and handed them over. "The colors are actually all pretty much the same. They're worn inside shoes, so there's not much to worry about."

"It's Chinese New Year, of course I have to wear red." Jin Yuanyuan showed off her red socks. "When I was trying out the new machine, I specially knitted a pair of red ones. These new machines are amazing. They can make the patterns directly on the computer, then you just need to select the yarn and install it. As soon as you turn it on, it's done in no time. They can make whatever number of stitches and thickness you want."

"That's right, technology has really developed now. Back in the day, my wife used to knit socks for me. It was so hard work. She was so clumsy. The socks didn't even have heels, they were just long tubes. Sigh..." Boss He laughed more happily as he recalled the past. "Now she still wants to knit socks, but she's too lazy to do it."

"My mom started by knitting socks herself, then she knitted with her sisters, and that's how she started this factory. I remember they used to get together and count the rounds, the stitches, and pick out the stitches... It was so much fun."

"It's all in the past, and I was quite happy back then. Of course, I'm even happier now." Boss He stood at the window, looking out at the sock-making workshop. "My youngest son works at a ski resort in Northeast China, and he definitely won't be coming back for the Spring Festival this year. I don't want to go to such a cold place, so I was thinking of buying him some warm clothes and sending them to him. But he said the ski resort has everything... Let me tell you this, I'm not being formal, but my youngest son is very ambitious and insists on making a name for himself before coming home. As a father, although I need to have authority, I still love my son, right? I thought about it and thought about having his mother knit him some socks, but they're actually quite old-fashioned. So, when I saw these socks of yours just now, I suddenly thought, I could actually make two pairs of thick ones and send them to him."

"Sure, sure, absolutely!" Jin Yuanyuan immediately perked up. "I was just thinking of opening that new machine again to make a new style of pair. Your arrival is perfect. Shall we design one? Make something exclusive, one of a kind in the world! Exclusively for Boss He!"

"Haha, that's a good idea." Boss He laughed.

The new machine is still in the debugging phase; a dedicated engineer won't be here until after the New Year to teach everyone how to use it. However, with her intelligence, she can still understand the English instruction manual. So, she, Jin Feiyan, and Cao Xiaoyu have been tinkering with it for several days, and each of them has made a pair of red socks, and they're all in a great mood. Now that Boss He has made a request, she's determined to fulfill it completely.

Furthermore, it's easy to handle as long as there's a need; the worst kind of customer is one who says "whatever," "okay," or "anything is fine."

Xiao Zhang, the supervisor of the hosiery workshop, worked with Jin Yuanyuan to make thickened German fleece socks according to Boss He's requirements. They even embroidered the character "He" on them to indicate that they were made exclusively for him. There were six pairs of red socks and six pairs of black socks, all unisex men's socks. They were of very good quality and had no loose threads or seams.

Seeing how powerful the new sock knitting machine was, Jin Yuanyuan thought of Zhang Dali and the bank loan. Perhaps she should ask Zhang Dali out for a chat, or go to him to inquire about the situation.

The efficiency and convenience of the new sock-knitting machine were always a pleasure, and Mr. He was extremely satisfied. After the socks were made, they were shipped directly from here to his youngest son in Northeast China, and the speed was incredibly fast.

Jin Yuanyuan is also a capable person. She reduced the number of stitches and made ten pairs of men's and women's exclusive red socks for Boss He, his wife and family.

"I was thinking about what New Year's gift to give you before, but now I can save money and worry. You can take these twenty pairs of socks yourself, and I can even save on the shipping fee." Jin Yuanyuan's smile was so sincere that Boss He was almost moved to tears. He said repeatedly, "My daughter is so thoughtful. She's such a sweet little girl."
