Chapter 366: The Soft‑waisted Educated Youth Is Again Spoiled by Her Boyfriend 29
Oh right, I'll remind Boss Zhang: if you can't discipline your son properly, I don't mind giving him a few extra beatings—I'll handle the discipline for you.
After saying that, Jin Chen slightly lifted his chin toward the person by the door.
The person guarding the door immediately opened the private room door: "Please, Boss Zhang."
Hmph! You just wait for me!
Zhanghui stormed off, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Mo Zhinan, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The latter's expression was indifferent; he merely glanced, then withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't even notice Zhanghui.
【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total now 25!】
The speed at which this matter was resolved left Songshang astonished.
But upon further thought, who truly passionate about this line of work wouldn't be moved by seeing such excellent design drawings?
But no matter what, today's incident once again elevated Songshang's estimation of Jin Chen's abilities.
After all, this solution is something ordinary people wouldn't think of.
Mo Zhinan watched the whole proceedings, finding Jin Chen's roguish demeanor quite novel.
While Lisan and a few others were chatting about the later clothing factory design, he suddenly turned, propped his chin, and looked at his boyfriend.
You look like that, still quite novel.
Really?
Jin Chen kept his expression, raised an eyebrow, and leaned in, instantly closing the distance between them.
So you like this outfit, huh, baby.
There were still others in the room; Mo Zhinan couldn't match Jin Chen's thick‑skinned boldness, so he pushed his shoulder aside to dodge, his ear tips turning slightly red.
Don't mess around, we're still outside.
"We can do that when we get home." Jin Chen drew a conclusion: "Now I get it."
Mo Zhinan: "……
He brushed off Jin Chen's arm: "Be serious."
Jin Chen put on a pretentious sigh, his earlier arrogance completely vanished, and he pulled the person into his arms, planting a kiss on the cheek.
So cold, so heartbreaking.
Mo Zhinan could take no more; face flushed, he rose and joined Guli and the others in their discussion.
——
The factory's address had been settled; Lisan immediately led everyone to re‑inspect the interior, mainly checking the terrain and equipment condition.
The machines previously in use were still there; originally they seemed to plan to rent out the factory and then sell the machines separately, but now that they're partnering with Jin Chen, those usable machines naturally remained.
At that point, Guli and Songshang finally understood Jin Chen's intentions.
All it took was an extra ten thousand compared to the Zhang family to bring in a renowned tailor as a partner, and they even got a batch of machines for free.
It's not a loss at all!
After touring the factory, Jin Chen already knew in his mind what needed to be added to each area.
Moreover, they also discovered another surprise.
Huang Yun's foreign girlfriend turned out to be Guli, and Huang Yun himself is also an excellent tailor, though he works at another factory.
Naturally, Jin Chen also poached her.
With ten thousand left of the mission deadline, Jin Chen gave part of it to everyone as an advance on wages, and the rest he told Huang Yun and Lisan to quickly bring over the skilled tailors they knew, the more the better.
He also insisted they publicize that working under him would pay several times more than other factories, with food and lodging included.
Afterward, he again gathered everyone for a meeting to assign different tasks for this period.
Besides Huang Yun and Lisan, who had already gone to find tailors, the three‑person junior crew, unfamiliar with design and business, were given a fabric sample by Jin Chen; their task was to purchase fabric and machines.
Songshang took charge of hiring overseas students at high pay; the main duties Jin Chen had already outlined were mostly translation work, plus accompanying them in foreign trade.
Jin Chen and Mo Zhinan were responsible for workshop design and solving the employees' dormitory building issue at the garment factory.
After being fed several meals of meat by Jin Chen, 0731 voluntarily took on the responsibility of clothing design.
Everyone got busy, and the days flew by.
Jin Chen also had no time to monitor what the protagonists were up to; he only occasionally listened to 0731's brief reports, then turned to find a free moment to snuggle with his wife.
Work progressed smoothly as well.
Whenever a problem arose, Jin Chen simply threw money at it, and for a while rumors spread throughout the factory that the big boss was a wealthy tycoon.
——
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
By then, the garment factory's renovation was nearly complete, and all the new machines had entered the workshop.
According to their earlier plan, the hired tailors were each to supervise two groups of workers, quickly familiarizing themselves with the machines and garment production.
Once production could begin, Jin Chen convened a high‑level meeting.
The conference room.
Jin Chen and Mo Zhinan sat side by side in the chief seat.
After this period of tempering, Mo Zhinan still found it a bit hard to speak with strangers, but he was far better than when they first met, and Jin Chen's companionship had boosted his confidence considerably.
After Jin Chen showed the design drawings to the senior leaders, he began to explain his ideas.
"Even if our clothing designs are novel, if the sales approach isn't innovative, we'll still make no waves."
On this point, Songshang and Lisan were in full agreement.
Lisan asked, "Boss, do you have any innovative methods?"
Jin Chen wrote down his idea on paper and handed it to everyone.
"I plan to divide the garment factory's workshop into three sections, which means the finished garments will mainly be sold along three lines."
Mo Zhinan and he exchanged smiles, began to explain, his voice gentle.
Everyone listened to him explain while lowering their heads to look at the things in their hands.
"The first part is the affordable line; clothing focuses on simplicity, fabric chosen for comfort and breathability, stitching and sewing techniques not emphasizing patterns, mainly for durability and resistance to wear; this part's target audience is middle-aged and elderly or lower-class people, with the highest output volume, and the price must be made affordable for everyone."
"The second part is the youthful fashion line, mainly sportswear and casual wear; we can refer to the magazine pictures we found, which are currently popular overseas sports sets; we can innovate on this basis, adding fashionable elements, so it fits the identity of students and young people while retaining design sense."
After he finished saying these two parts, he stopped to take a sip of water.
Jin Chen then went on to explain the design of the final part.
"The final part: we won't go through regular distribution; instead we'll place samples directly in our own stores to serve high-end customers and the upper market, setting no monthly sales items, using internal ordering and allocation, and selling through hunger marketing."
After the two of them finished speaking, the other senior members had also roughly understood.
Lisan was a little worried, saying, "Following this approach, the affordable line won't lose money, but the profits will definitely not be high."
"Moreover, with the high-end line's sales method, how should we spread it abroad?"
The question he raised was also the one Mo Zhinan raised after Jin Chen had just divided the three parts into details.
Jin Chen couldn't help but glance at his wife and smile slightly, then explained to everyone.
