Chapter 177 Lu Yang’s Ambition [4000]

It is definitely wrong.

After all, I just called her "sister" and got the interview opportunities from the provincial and municipal newspapers for nothing.

If Lu Yang was replaced by the spirited young men who use Tik Tok and Kuaishou in later generations, let alone calling her sister, even if they were asked to kneel down and kowtow 1000 times and call her grandma, as long as it could make them famous and make them big internet celebrities, they would do it without hesitation.

After arriving at the market and the subsequent tour, everything went very smoothly. The huge crowds of people and the bustling scene alone made the two leaders realize that this market would definitely be successful.

And the heroes are the young people around us.

I know I misunderstood.

The provincial officials whose hair was half white were still a little embarrassed.

But Deputy Mayor Xu, this elegant middle-aged man, did not have this entanglement. He shook Lu Yang's hand and said enthusiastically: "It turns out that we all misjudged you. You are a good young man. Work hard and strive to be an excellent private entrepreneur. I am very optimistic about your cooperation with the cotton textile factory. I even hope that you can go further. Next time you come to the city, you can consider coming to my office and we can have a good talk."

Don't say anything too serious.

He didn't have much time left. He had already wasted more than ten minutes on the way here, and it would take just as long to go back. Taking a walk around and taking a look at this newly opened market was already the limit of what he could do.

He turned around and told his secretary, "Prepare the car, let's go back to the city directly. Also, ask the reporter from the city evening newspaper to stay and do an exclusive interview with this Mr. Lu. Go back and write a copy and give it a front page headline, saying it was me who said it."

As a secretary, I will execute the leader's requirements 100%.

This matter is settled.

Lu Yang was almost overjoyed when he heard this.

Before, he had never thought about getting a headline on the second page of an evening newspaper. What he thought was that as long as he could get an inconspicuous spot as small as a tofu grid to report their event, especially highlighting their Meisite Garment Factory and putting a headline on it, he would be satisfied.

But I didn’t expect that there would be such a big surprise.

"Thank you for your concern for private enterprises. Please rest assured that next time I go to the city, I will report to you on the progress of my cooperation with the city's state-owned cotton textile factory."

What a surprise!
Lu Yang was reluctant to let go of the hand of this elegant middle-aged man.

It was Du Lingling who reminded him. She walked over to his ear and whispered, "Let go quickly. My brother-in-law is leaving."

Lu Yang suddenly realized.

He quickly let go of his hands apologetically and said goodbye to this senior city official who he felt like an old friend to.

"okay."

"Since even you are leaving, I will leave too."

Official Du, whose hair was half white, also wanted to leave at this time.

There's nothing to see anyway.

At present, this small commodity wholesale market in Zhao County is still very simple, with only dozens of types of goods, and there is no highlight at all.

The only thing worth seeing was the sign of the Meisite Garment Factory and the 20 stalls belonging to Lu Yang. In front of each stall, there were people lining up in long queues, and the salesgirls in uniform were busy working.

Compared with other nearby stalls, it is clearly distinguished.

"Cousin, you can go, but please call out the provincial newspaper reporters who came with you, and interview them for me, so that they can report positively on our small commodity wholesale market when they return. Oh, and call this guy along as well."

Lu Yang only dared to think about it in his heart.

Du Lingling jumped out and asked directly for it.

Not at all rude.

Du Gaoguan, whose hair was half white, looked at Lu Yang and his cousin unhappily.

Quite helplessly, he said, "Okay, I got it."

He brought his men down with the intention of doing just that.

But there is a huge difference between doing something willingly and doing it because someone asks you to do it.

"Humph."

He just snorted coldly, turned around and told his secretary, "Did you hear that? Ask Comrade Xiao Liu from the provincial newspaper to stay for a while. We will go back first and let him finish the interview by himself and take the train back to the provincial capital."

Done.

Just walk away with a poker face.

Deputy Mayor Xu shook his head: "Let's go, let's get in the car too."

This elegant middle-aged man looked at his wife's sister with some helplessness.

She smiled and nodded at Lu Yang again.

He turned around and led a group of people to a row of official cars parked on the side of the road, and got into the back seat of the leading Volkswagen Passat.

Lu Yang and Du Lingling waved to each other, watched each other's car start and slowly drove away.

Then look at each other.

The next step was the highlight, an interview with reporters from two evening newspapers.

"Do you have a manuscript?"

Du Lingling asked.

"No."

Lu Yang answered naturally: "The manuscript is in my stomach. I can spit it out when I need it."

"Ah."

Du Lingling smiled and said, "Okay, you are very confident. You think your writing is natural and you came up with it by accident, right? I hope you can continue to act like this when you are interviewed later and spit out your writing instead of being like a dog that can't spit out ivory."

Say it.

She ignored Lu Yang, left his head behind, and walked away with her long black hair swinging.

"I have already made an appointment for you. The interview will be held in my office. People from both newspapers will come together, so it will be convenient for both of us to be interviewed together. You don't need a manuscript, but I do. I'll go back and prepare it first."

Lu Yang smacked his lips.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Gong Pingan next to him: "Can you write an interview script?"

Gong Pingan: ""

I rolled my eyes at him and told him to deal with it himself.

Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You can't do it, and neither can I. We can't write a manuscript, so how can we prepare? Forget it. I'll just say whatever comes to my mind later. It's not going to be live broadcast anyway. At worst, if I say something wrong, I can ask the reporter to cross it out and rewrite it."

He was actually very nervous.

It's just a way to cover up my nervousness.

What else can be done?
What Lu Yang was thinking about at this moment was that he must recruit more writers with high cultural quality and good speaking skills to serve as his mouthpiece.

We can't be passive anymore.

. . .

Time flies and two days have passed.

Ever since the interview, Lu Yang's entire temperament has changed. Although he has not seen all the interview transcripts published in newspapers, this is in line with the national conditions of news delay in this era. Even if it is delayed for a week or half a month, as long as it can finally be published in the newspaper, it will be a success.

Lu Yang became confident.

Everyone who saw it said so.

At the same time, good news continues to come.

First of all, although the queues seemed to be extremely long, Lu Yang's estimate was correct. Not all of the 30 sets of clothes prepared for retail were sold. There would always be people who didn't care to take advantage, and there would always be people who were careless and lost the event flyers for various reasons. So after three days, through the event, the number of clothes sold at two yuan a set was less than 20 sets, or about 19.81 sets.

Even so, a total of more than 39 yuan in cash was recovered for Lu Yang.

In addition, stalls specializing in wholesale also made gains. In addition to the 20 sets of clothes that were retailed, clothing merchants from inside and outside the county bought out almost all the clothing stocks in the warehouse that Lu Yang had accumulated in the past few months.

Orders for some popular clothing styles have been postponed to a month later.

Therefore, what Lu Yang needs to do now is to quickly call all the workers back, keep only a few selected female sales people in the county, leave a few good stalls, rent out the rest of the stalls, and then produce, produce, and produce again to expand the scale.

in this way.

The first shot has been fired.

Lu Yang calculated that he now owed the state-owned cotton textile factory about 30 yuan in balance for clothing raw materials.

This time, the clothes I sold, including retail and wholesale, brought in a total of 895000 yuan in cash, less than 90 yuan.

How much money have you invested in the garment factory in total?

5 years ago.

I bought the big truck for 3 yuan, and the two cars at the back were exchanged for cloth and are not counted.

5 for the first time after the New Year.

I went to Shanghai and brought back 126000 yuan, plus the 9000 yuan my mother gave me, a total of 135000 yuan. I used 1 yuan to invest in a video hall, 10 yuan to buy a large truck, and the remaining yuan was used to pay the deposit for the million-yuan contract with the cotton textile factory.

前后这么一算，小半年时间，5万加3万加5万加2万加10万，合计小25万。

895000, minus 30, minus 25, totaling 345000 earned in half a year?

wrong.

There is also no mention of the workers’ wages.

In the first three months, there were not many workers, and most of the work was done by Gong Ping'an, Dajun, his eldest cousin, and the manager Lao Liu.

The monthly expenditure is only a few thousand yuan.

Lu Yang didn't take it seriously.

But since last month, the garment factory officially expanded its scale, and the number of sewing workers has increased several times from just a few dozen to the current 200. As the number of clothes brought back every day has increased exponentially, the bulk of the workers' salary expenses has also begun to go to these sewing workers.

Lu Yang calculated again.

Until the day before the market opens.

The warehouse is filled with inventory, with a total of a little over 36 sets of clothing.

The total wages to be paid to these sewing workers are: 30 x 0.18 = 64800 yuan.

You don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you’ll be shocked, right?
The production has been expanded for less than two months, and Lu Yang now needs to pay the wages of the ten people in the factory, including Gong Pingan. After all the miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated that the wages paid in less than five months are close to 80,000 to 90,000 yuan.

And this was because Lu Yang was cautious before and did not expand the production scale right away. It was only a month before the market opened that he really expanded the market scale. Otherwise, if he expanded production half a month earlier, he would not be able to afford the workers' wages alone.

Then he took out a pen and did the math.

345000-64800=280200 (only the wages of the seamstresses are counted because the wages of cousin Da Jun and others have been paid on time every month and are included in the expenses deducted before).

"Not bad, not bad. In just half a year, I have already earned 28 yuan. This is more than what I earned by working hard for half a year speculating in treasury bonds."

Although the account cannot be calculated in this way.

Before speculating in treasury bonds, Lu Yang had only 5000 yuan in capital.

Lu Yang has invested 25 yuan in the garment factory he has opened now, and he has also borrowed 30 yuan on credit. This is why he has been busy for half a year and has made a miracle of 28 yuan in just three days.

In fact, if you calculate it this way, the profit is not that high.

Compared to the time when one made money from treasury coupons, the money increased dozens of times in a short period of time, which was simply a drizzle.

Of course, this cannot be said, because this is just the beginning. Every day in the future, as long as the garment factory continues to be popular, Lu Yang will make a fortune.

This is much safer than continuing to speculate in treasury bonds.

Earn 28 every three days?
That's unlikely.

But if you say, earn 28 a month, it becomes extremely possible.

And it's easy.

The condition is to achieve the goal he had boasted before, that the sewing workers in the garment factory can complete orders for 20 sets of clothes every month.

If we assume that you make 20 yuan for a set of clothes, and you have 28 sets of clothes, haha, is yuan a month enough?

Mathematics doesn't lie.

"We can't just keep this much money in the bank. Let's pay all the wages in advance tomorrow to make the workers happy. In addition, give everyone a bonus of 5 yuan."

Lu Yang called everyone to a meeting that day.

And explained some things to Lao Liu.

"In addition, I'm going to give you 10 yuan for the road repair. You will be responsible for supervising the village committee to repair the road. You can't give them all the money at once. There needs to be a plan. You have to worry about it."

Lu Yang didn't even let his father-in-law go.

"Finally, there is still a little over a month left before the three-month deadline for paying off the balance to the city's cotton textile factory. This is what I plan to do. After another half a month, I will go to the city in advance to discuss the issue of asking the state-owned cotton textile factory to increase the supply of clothing raw materials.

Of course, I will also consider settling some of the balance in advance for them. I believe that as long as they are sincere, it should not be difficult to ask them to speed up the production of fabrics and increase the supply of raw materials for clothes in our factory.

Sister Mingyue, you can come with me when the time comes. We can relax and visit mom and my younger sister. I am also planning to visit Deputy Mayor Xu in the city."

If you don’t love your wife, who will?

"Brothers, it's up to you now. I plan to continue to expand the scale of the garment factory. Within a month, the number of sewing women workers will be expanded from 200 to 500. If there are not enough people in the towns around Fan Town, we will look for more distant towns. As long as they are within the scope of our Zhao County, and can drive a large truck out in the morning, collect goods from each household, or deliver goods, and return to the factory in the afternoon, if they are within this range, we can consider giving them clothes to make. My goal is that in the future, if others want to copy our clothes, they will not be able to recruit workers. Using our model, it won't take too long, just one year."
