Chapter 53: Exclusive Processing Factory

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong turned around at the same time, and saw a woman in a professional suit standing behind them.

The woman extended her hand first, “Hello, my name is Zhang Xia.”

She looked at Xia Keqing, then at Yu Hong, “Excuse me, which one of you is Comrade Xia Keqing?”

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong looked at each other, Xia Keqing smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Xia Keqing.”

She looked at Yu Hong, “This is my Aunt Hong.”

Zhang Xia looked very happy, “I didn’t expect you to be so young, and you’re so beautiful!”

Xia Keqing smiled, “You’re also beautiful. What can I do for you?”

Zhang Xia was a straightforward person, she looked at the bulletin board, “I really like your design, I want to buy it.”

Xia Keqing understood, “You run a clothing factory?”

Zhang Xia nodded, “Yes, I run a clothing factory.”

Xia Keqing’s eyes flashed, she knew that the person she was looking for had come to her. She definitely wanted to sell the design, but not now, she glanced around, the competition was over, after all, the first place had already been decided.

Many designers had already left.

Those who stayed might have other purposes, like Xia Keqing, or they were people from Xuefei.

“It’s lunchtime, how about we find a place to eat, and chat while we eat?”

Zhang Xia was stunned, then she smiled and said, “That’s exactly what I was thinking, let’s go, I know a restaurant with good food.”

Xia Keqing didn’t expect this woman named Zhang Xia to have a car.

This was the 1980s.

A Santana in the 1980s, at least 200,000 yuan, more expensive than a house.

It seems that running a clothing factory in Shenzhen is really profitable!

But it’s understandable, every lucky person who catches a good time is like riding the wind, it’s hard not to make money.

Yu Hong is in the clothing business, she’s been running a store in the provincial city market for so many years, she’s also seen the world.

She naturally knew that this was a treasure worth more than 200,000 yuan.

So from the moment she got in the car, she couldn’t help but want to touch the seats, the door, and the windows.

But she also knew that doing so would make her look like she hadn’t seen the world, and she was too excited.

She saw Xia Keqing, a little girl, sitting in a relaxed posture, not minding at all, and she felt even more ashamed.

She’s been alive for so many years, and she’s not as good as a little girl.

When she goes back this time, maybe she can save up for half a car!

Thinking about this, Yu Hong immediately became ambitious.

Shenzhen in this era was in a stage of rapid development, various restaurants and restaurants were popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Zhang Xia liked Xia Keqing’s design, so she took them seriously, she chose a Chinese restaurant with a very elegant decoration.

After sitting down, she smiled at Xia Keqing and said, “There’s a Western restaurant on Zhongshan Road, but I can’t get used to Western food, so I took the liberty of bringing you here. Don’t look at it, it looks ordinary, but the food is good.”

Xia Keqing nodded, she didn’t care what she ate.

When ordering, Zhang Xia specifically asked Xia Keqing and Yu Hong if they had any dietary restrictions, which shows that she was quite thoughtful.

Xia Keqing didn’t have any dietary restrictions, as long as it was regular ingredients.

But after thinking for a moment, she still said, “I don’t eat bullfrogs, rabbits, or dog meat. I can’t accept unusual ingredients.”

Yu Hong was dumbfounded.

But thinking that the ingredients in Guangdong Province were indeed quite wide-ranging, she also quickly said, “Just order regular ingredients.”

Zhang Xia immediately understood.

“Okay.”

While waiting for the food, Zhang Xia went straight to the point, “Comrade Xia Keqing, you look so young and full of energy, I really like your design, I wonder if Comrade Xia Keqing would be willing to part with it?”

Xia Keqing: “How much are you willing to pay, Ms. Zhang?”

Zhang Xia was stunned, she originally thought she would have to talk her into it, but she didn’t expect this little girl to play by her own rules, she just asked the price directly.

This straightforward style was rare.

But on second thought, if she was so straightforward, she would be unhappy if the other person beat around the bush.

This little girl’s straightforwardness suited her taste, and she was even happier.

She thought for a moment and said, “I’ll give you 200 yuan for that design.”

Yu Hong subconsciously widened her eyes.

She thought, good heavens!

She wouldn’t even make 200 yuan selling twenty sets of clothes.

Her cheap niece drew a picture, and she could actually sell it for 200 yuan!

This designer is more valuable than she imagined!

She subconsciously looked at Xia Keqing, but the little girl looked very calm, without any particular expression.

Zhang Xia also looked at Xia Keqing, but she just thought that the little girl wasn’t satisfied with the price, “I really want to buy your design, and I also want to invite you to work for our factory, the salary is negotiable!”

Yu Hong: !!

She remembered that when she was in her middle age, because she couldn’t give birth to a son, she was kicked out of her husband’s family, and she couldn’t ask her own family for help, so she could only take her daughter to wash dishes and do some odd jobs.

She finally saved up a small sum of money, and then started accumulating her first initial capital by selling socks, she was lucky, she rented a stall in the market and started selling clothes, and she’s been doing it for almost ten years now.

When did it become so easy to work in a factory?

In their era, working in a factory was a secure job.

Because of this, Yu Hong couldn’t adjust for a moment, she just felt that Xia Keqing was so amazing that she was invited to a clothing factory just because of a drawing.

But she quickly thought again, Xiao Qing is still a college student, she has a bright future, and besides, times have changed now, for example, in their provincial city, many factories are actually in a state of loss, and they are urgently seeking transformation.

Could this woman’s eagerness to buy Xiao Qing’s design be for this reason?

So she wanted to remind Xiao Qing not to agree easily.

But seeing the little girl’s confident look, she silently picked up her cup and took a sip of water.

Xia Keqing is still in school, she can’t work at Zhang Xia’s factory, and besides, her goal is not to sell design blueprints.

“I can give you the blueprint for free, and I can continue to provide you with blueprints in the future.”

Zhang Xia was immediately overjoyed.

But she quickly calmed down.

The little girl doesn’t look stupid.

Besides, there’s no free lunch in the world.

“What are your conditions?”

Xia Keqing chuckled, “Factory Director Zhang, don’t look so serious.”

Zhang Xia said awkwardly, “We’re not close, I don’t think you would give me the blueprint for free, just say what your conditions are.”

Xia Keqing mentioned that she had opened a studio, she could provide blueprints to Zhang Xia’s factory, but the clothes produced must have her trademark.

Yu Hong thought, this little girl is young, but she’s got a dark heart.

She wants to turn their clothing factory into her exclusive processing factory!

Of course, Zhang Xia, as the factory director of a clothing factory, is not a naive fool.

“Comrade Xia Keqing, you mean, in the future, the clothes produced by our clothing factory must use your trademark? Then our factory will become your exclusive processing factory? How much is your annual demand?”

Although she said this, Zhang Xia wasn’t angry.

Her tone was very serious.

Business people, as long as it’s profitable, and it doesn’t violate the law or morality, there’s nothing they can’t do.

And those who violate the law and morality are also numerous.

With their factory’s current situation, if they don’t seek change, they might have to close down.

So Zhang Xia decided to gamble.

Xia Keqing shook her head, “Of course not.”
