Chapter 202

Li Ye and Pei Wencong partnered to create a new company, and the processing of the relevant procedures alone took two days.

As an important commercial and trade center in the Far East, Hong Kong has a complete set of sound commercial management systems. Although somewhat cumbersome, they are also very rigorous and protect the interests of merchants as much as possible.

Li Ye only silently read the contract and signed it throughout the process, and only expressed his opinion when Pei Wencong asked what name to give the new company.

"Let's call it Seres!"

In a place like Hong Kong, there are many companies with names using this kind of transliterated foreign language, and being low-key is fine.

After hearing this, Pei Wencong said with a smile, "Seres, is Mr. Li borrowing the name foreigners used for the Chinese Empire in history?"

Li Ye said, "You could say that! I hope that our country will, like it was at that time, once again make the whole world full of awe and yearning."

"..."

Pei Wencong was stunned and nodded silently.

A thousand years ago, because of silk, other countries in the world came to the Chinese family one after another. After witnessing the power of the Chinese family, they spread the wealth and power of this empire to all directions.

Now the former glory has been gathered, and the name Seres has long been forgotten by the world. Li Ye borrowing it can be considered a thought, borrowing a bit of national fortune.

After all the company matters were finished, Li Ye finally did two days of "proper business."

He visited and took photos at many famous scenic spots in Hong Kong and, through Pei Wencong's connection, had friendly cultural exchanges with two literary authors with correct stances, which could be considered completing his "cultural exchange" task.

Otherwise, when he returned to Beijing and Teacher Ke and Wen Leyu asked, "What did you do during your first cultural exchange in Hong Kong?"

How would he answer?

I went to the Big Tycoon Nightclub to observe? And had a superstitious interaction with a master?

That would be too unprofessional.

On the second to last day of leaving Hong Kong, Li Ye and the others went to that small street specializing in custom clothing to pick up their custom-made clothes.

After custom clothing is made, it is best to try it on first. If there is any place that is not quite right, it can be further modified slightly to adjust the style and size to the best, which will be more fitting than ready-made clothes bought.

Of course, the price is also more expensive.

At this time, ordinary ready-made clothes were only tens or hundreds, but the clothes Li Ye and the others made were several thousand Hong Kong dollars, which made Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Hao Jian feel very painful.

One set of clothes costs half a 212 jeep; you tell me if it should be painful.

It's just that after Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Hao Jian put them on, they didn't feel so painful anymore.

Hao Jian was the weakest in appearance and figure among the few, but he was usually the most attentive to his clothing image. After changing into new clothes this time, he actually felt that he had a bit of "Pan An's appearance."

After Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked in the mirror, he was already imagining going home to show it to his future wife and receiving a comprehensive praise.

Of course, no matter how narcissistic the two of them were, they couldn't compare to Li Ye when put together.

Designer A-Ling personally helped Li Ye organize his clothes and then couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, although some words may not be appropriate to say, I still suggest you try the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Perhaps in a very short time, you will be the next Xu Wenqiang!"

"No, thank you."

Li Ye refused with a light smile. The Kung Fu Emperor almost couldn't make it out; he would be a fool to come to Hong Kong to mix in this big dyeing vat.

Seeing that Li Ye wasn't interested, A-Ling could only sigh and give up. However, when Li Ye was preparing to pay, she made another request.

"Mr. Li, I want to take these clothes to Tokyo to participate in a fashion exhibition. Because there are many of your creative ideas in them, Mr. Li, I won't collect the final payment for the clothes."

"Sorry, if you were going to Paris, I would be willing to donate my creative ideas for free, but since you are going to Tokyo, forget it."

"..."

Li Ye saw the embarrassment on A-Ling's face. Obviously, she had been struggling with whether to ask for Li Ye's creative ideas, and now that she was directly rejected, she was even more embarrassed.

Every designer has her pride, but pride is easily crushed and crushed again in the face of reality.

In fact, A-Ling could have not told Li Ye and directly taken these clothes to participate in the competition. Given the patent relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland in the 1980s, it could be ignored completely.

But she still asked Li Ye and was willing to pay a considerable fee.

Therefore, Li Ye thought about it and asked, "Can your current economic situation afford the exhibition expenses?"

A-Ling smiled brightly, shook her head, and was more calm and accepting of reality than Li Ye had imagined.

"Then you should talk to my friend! He needs a fashion designer right now."

Li Ye beckoned to Hao Jian, whispered a few words to him, and then walked out the door, letting go and not caring anymore.

Hao Jian looked back at Li Ye, and when he turned his head again, he had already put on the expression of a "successful person."

"Hello, I am the factory director of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. We currently have 30,000 contract employees... We are recruiting excellent fashion clothing designers from all over the world..."

The direct employees of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 had just exceeded 2,000 before the Spring Festival, but the outsourcing processing plan that Li Ye had planned at the beginning had developed rapidly, and good subcontracting agreements had been established with more than 30 clothing factories.

If you count all the people from those 30-plus clothing factories as your own, you can estimate that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people.

So Hao Jian pulling the tiger skin to make a big flag wasn't all nonsense.

And this A-Ling, looking at Hao Jian's full face of doubt, had to pull Pei Wencong over halfway to verify whether the other party was a big liar.

Nearly an hour later, Hao Jian came out of the clothing store and found Li Ye.

"Little Ye brother, we met a smart person this time. That Fan Xiuling is willing to join our Pengcheng Factory No. 7, but she has to work in Hong Kong usually and occasionally go to Pengcheng to take a look.

In addition, she also wants the patents for these clothes and wants to join with the patents, taking a sales commission for these clothes.

In addition, she also wants to entrust a Hong Kong trade intermediary to engage in clothing exports with us, requiring us to give her an ex-factory price that is as low as possible."

"..."

Even though Li Ye was knowledgeable and experienced, he was stunned for a few seconds before smiling.

This routine, isn't it the same bird-like routine as when he took "Soaring North Wind" to find Pei Wencong at the beginning?

Seeing that Li Ye was also a bit stunned, Hao Jian complained again: "Why are Hong Kong people so good at doing business? Looking at a weak woman, once she sticks to money, she is smarter than a monkey."

The commercial development of Hong Kong over the past few decades has made the whole society taste the sweetness in the economy and has also formed a path dependence, becoming a kind of ideological mentality of the whole society.

Just like the idea that "eight hundred million out of one billion people are speculators" that arose in the mainland after seeing speculators make money later, everyone thinks about speculating to make money, but instead ignores the manufacturing industry at the source.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Learned it? The commercial atmosphere in Hong Kong is not something we can compare with. In the future, you can communicate more with this side and learn more from this side, otherwise you really can't play against those foreigners."

"Okay, for our future, I will endure her this time, but sooner or later I will let her know that my Hao Jian's cheapness is not so easy to take."

Hao Jian had long accepted the idea of "going out and earning foreign currency" from Li Ye, and he didn't strongly oppose it this time. Anyway, if Li Ye says it's okay, then it's okay!

In the evening, Pei Wencong booked a private room to treat Li Ye to a meal, which could be considered seeing them off.

As soon as Li Ye entered the private room, he saw that Fan Xiuling.

Today she wasn't wearing professional attire, but a long skirt, and sure enough, she had that flavor of a rich daughter.

After Fan Xiuling saw Li Ye, she stood up for the first time and bowed her head to Li Ye, obviously knowing that Li Ye was the "number one brother" among the three.

And looking at her attitude toward Li Ye, maybe Pei Wencong had revealed some other secrets to her.

"Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Although I cannot work in Pengcheng for a long time due to family reasons, I will definitely not be slack and will definitely do my job well."

"Please sit," Li Ye pressed his hand to let Fan Xiuling sit down and then said with a smile: "Do you really understand the work you need to do?"

Fan Xiuling was stunned for a moment and became vigilant.

Is this not going to be a red agent?

But Li Ye's next words made her blood boil and her thoughts fly.

"Ms. Fan, whether you go to Pengcheng to work now or not is irrelevant. I will have people send you the market data of all clothing styles regularly and try to provide you with the physical characteristics of mainlanders..."

"Your job is not simply to design a few clothes, but to lead a style, a style suitable for the physical characteristics and thoughts of mainlanders.

It can be said that if you are successful enough, the vast market in the mainland is your runway, and one billion citizens are your models."

Fan Xiuling swallowed her saliva and said: "This... the work is very difficult and very challenging."

Li Ye said directly: "We can help you establish a clothing design studio, and you can recruit assistants... But we have given you help, and you must also launch a set of works suitable for mainlanders as soon as possible to assist us in creating a brand that is fashionable enough."

Brand is Li Ye's ultimate goal.

Pengcheng Factory No. 7 is an affiliated relationship. When the Chinese family allows private enterprises to be established in more than a year, there will inevitably be a handover transition.

Even if Pengcheng Factory No. 7 was raised by Li Ye from scratch, can Li Ye take over all the assets of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 by that time?

Although Li Ye has a relationship with Teacher Ke, some things cannot be fully relied on others.

So Li Ye took precautions and made some preparations in advance.

Starting this year, all sales channels of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 will gradually promote a brand, and in the end, people will only know this brand and not Pengcheng Factory No. 7.

But this brand belongs to a company in Hong Kong.

When it comes to the handover of public and private, even if there are disputes over factory buildings, equipment, and funds, the channels were built by Hao Jian and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, and the brand is from Hong Kong. As long as you set up a stage again, you can continue to sing.

First-class enterprises make standards, and second-class enterprises make brands.

Let's strive to be second-class first!

Thanks to the book friend for the 500-coin tip, thanks brother.
