Chapter 80: Director Liu, Who Was Completely Under Her Spell

She had written all of this in her proposal.

Of course, she wouldn’t write it truthfully, instead, she would write her knowledge of the future as deductions and projections.

Seeing this proposal, Director Liu was naturally moved and convinced.

But he still didn’t immediately agree, he needed to wait.

He would wait until the sales figures for this batch of goods came out.

At least, he would have more persuasive power when he went to Minister Zhao.

Bai Ru Qiao wasn’t worried about this at all.

“By the way, Old Zhang told me you’re planning to make a new batch of factory uniforms?”

Director Liu suddenly asked.

Bai Ru Qiao nodded, “The factory’s image is always a trendsetter, our factory uniforms, if you think about it, can also be a living signboard.”

Director Liu frowned.

He knew, of course, that factory uniforms were different from other clothes.

Other clothes could generate revenue after they were made, but factory uniforms were provided for free.

They had at least 4,000 workers in their textile factory, and it would cost a lot to replace all of their uniforms.

Bai Ru Qiao knew what he was worried about.

She just smiled, “Director, we can’t just think about immediate gains.”

Director Liu raised his eyebrows, he was used to Bai Ru Qiao’s way of speaking, and he enjoyed listening to her.

He brought up this topic now because he wanted to hear what she had to say.

So he leaned back, gestured with one hand, “Convince me.”

They had been getting along for so long, Bai Ru Qiao understood his temperament, so she basically said whatever came to mind.

“Director, think about it, our factory has 4,500 people, if we calculate one family per person, that’s 4,500 families, and if we calculate 3 people per family, that’s at least 13,500 people who will see a new factory uniform as soon as it appears.”

Seeing Director Liu nodding thoughtfully with his arms crossed, she continued to persuade him with a smile.

“Imagine, in a family of three, each person has other relatives and friends, and they have their own families, and then the relatives and friends of these relatives and friends, and then these relatives and friends have families…”

“Wait, wait, wait.” Director Liu was confused by her endless relatives and friends, “How many relatives and friends are you talking about, just say the whole country.”

Bai Ru Qiao smiled with pursed lips, “Director, you’re brilliant, these people won’t all be locals, so it will spread across counties, cities, and provinces, one telling ten, ten telling a hundred, a hundred telling a thousand, and so on, and it will become the whole country.”

“How many people are there in our country? According to last year’s report, it’s at least 900 million people, right? We only need 400,000 of them to buy our clothes, think about it, how much money is that, and we only need to make over 4,000 sets of clothes to get the revenue from 400,000 sets of clothes, isn’t it worth it?”

“To go deeper, our ultimate goal is to export, think about how many people there are in the world, if…”

“Stop, stop, stop, no ifs, let’s do it.” Director Liu was overwhelmed by the data in his head and quickly agreed.

Of course, the core factor was that he was tempted by the projected data.

Over 4,000 sets of clothes, all self-produced, how high could the cost be.

But the clothes sold would be more expensive than the cost.

Not to mention 400,000, even 40,000 would be a 10-fold profit.

Getting the result she wanted, Bai Ru Qiao also smiled with her eyes curved.

“Then, Director, I’ll send you samples and sample clothes later, one set for men and one for women, for now, we’ll only make autumn and winter styles.”

Director Liu looked at her sideways, “So you were just waiting for me to nod.”

Bai Ru Qiao smiled sweetly, “Doing the work in advance and giving the leader the best results, isn’t that the duty of a subordinate?”

Director Liu’s mouth twitched, then he couldn’t help but laugh.

He shook his head helplessly and waved his hand at her, “Stop, stop, your mouth always has the upper hand, I can’t argue with you.”

After she left, she brought back the documents and sample clothes.

After looking at the two sets of sample clothes, Director Liu started clutching his chest.

“You, you, you’re saying this is for 4,500 pieces?”

Bai Ru Qiao looked at him with a matter-of-fact expression, “I said 4,500 sets, Director, what are you thinking? How could it be one piece, our current factory uniforms are also three-piece sets, I just added one more piece.”

Director Liu opened his mouth, looked at the two sets of sample clothes, and was speechless.

It was true, but these two sets of clothes looked very expensive.

The two sets of clothes, the women’s set was a navy blue overall jumpsuit, with a white knitted long-sleeved undershirt, the collar and cuffs were lotus-shaped ruffles.

The jumpsuit had a large convex pocket on the abdomen, with the five large characters “Qingyang Textile Factory” embroidered on it.

The outer garment was a mid-length trench coat style, reaching about the bend of the knee.

It had a stand-up collar design, no trim, the shape was similar to a Zhongshan suit, no belt, and directly used the same color fabric buttons.

For convenience in wearing the jacket for work in winter, the sleeves of the forearm had buttons that could be detached at any time.

The men’s set was relatively simpler, the jacket was similar to the women’s, the top was a fake two-piece, looking like a white stand-up collar long-sleeved shirt with a V-neck sleeveless vest over it.

The pants were more formal suit pants, but the waist had an elastic band design.

The hat didn’t change much, it was still the popular and common People’s Liberation Army hat style.

However, the women’s hat had an extra detachable fur ball in the center, slightly towards the back.

Director Liu admitted that the two sets were indeed very beautiful.

But the production cost was also very beautiful.

But words once spoken are like water spilled.

Thinking about the benefits these two sets of clothes could bring to the factory, his heartache eased a little.

“What do you think, Director, if there are no problems, we can start making them after this batch of goods is shipped out.” Bai Ru Qiao asked with a smile, her tone very gentle.

Director Liu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, constantly using the various hypothetical data he had previously used to numb himself, then waved his hand.

Bai Ru Qiao’s smile deepened, “Okay, then Director, I’ll go back to work.”

Director Liu didn’t even open his eyes, perfectly embodying the saying “out of sight, out of mind.”

That night, Bai Ru Qiao took out several clothing books from her space while Zhao Sihai was sleeping next door, preparing to draw.

But as she flipped through them, she suddenly frowned.

She stared at the exquisite patterns in the book for a while, then went to the villa and took out two books, holding them to go next door.

Zhao Sihai was also reading under the lamp at this time.

Seeing that she wasn’t asleep yet, he was a little surprised, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

She put the two books on the desk, “For you.”

Zhao Sihai’s eyes fell on the books without titles, wondering what they were, his eyes suddenly lit up, “This is…”

“You’ll know when you see it.” She smiled.

Zhao Sihai directly picked up the first book and flipped through it, and the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, “Your book…”

She made a “shh” gesture, “Don’t ask about the source, I’ll tell you later when I have the chance, I just want to ask you, if you can understand these two books, can you make a set of advanced fiber equipment?”
