Chapter 173 Shouldn’t be a big problem?

Lin Mei sized up Chen Mo, then looked at the two dogs he was leading, and greeted him with a smile.

“Hello, General Manager Chen.”

“Hello.”

Chen Mo replied politely, but his mind was like a thousand horses galloping.

What’s going on?

Didn’t they say they couldn’t get an agent? How did one suddenly appear?

He turned to look at Wu Yu.

“Wu Yu, have you told Ms. Lin about the situation at our company?”

“General Manager Chen, I’ve already told Lin Jie everything,” Wu Yu said seriously.

“Did you also mention that our Clothing Factory just underwent a transformation and doesn’t have much reputation yet, so there might be a risk of losing money if she becomes an agent?”

Chen Mo made his final struggle, hoping that this lady would turn back after hearing his words.

But before Wu Yu could speak, the lady spoke first.

“Thank you for the reminder, General Manager Chen. I understand all these things, but I don’t think they are problems.”

This boss is quite good; he actually laid out the disadvantages of the Clothing Factory like that. This is much better than those bosses who exaggerate their companies to attract investment but never mention their shortcomings.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s lips moved, wanting to say something, but he realized that the die was cast. He couldn’t directly stop her from joining, as that would violate the system’s regulations.

He could only speak helplessly.

“You two continue discussing the agency; I won’t disturb you.”

He secretly comforted himself, even if there was an agent, it was only a 100,000 yuan franchise fee.

Whether those clothes could be sold in the retail store was another matter. After all, the clothing brand had no reputation, but the prices were similar to, or even higher than, those of branded apparel.

In comparison, who would buy clothes that were expensive but had no reputation?

If no one bought them, he would still lose money.

No big deal!

After figuring this out, Chen Mo let out a slight sigh of relief, looking down at his two Huskies, whose names he had just changed.

Changing the names didn’t seem to have any effect!

Sales Office,

“Lin Jie, this is the franchise contract. You can take a look.”

Wu Yu took out the contract, which he had prepared for a long time but had never used.

Lin Mei took the contract, looked at it, found no problems, and signed it directly.

Then she looked up at Wu Yu and asked,

“I just looked around the workshop and noticed that the variety of sample clothes isn’t very extensive?”

“That’s right, Lin Jie. Our Clothing Factory just transformed, and currently, the styles of clothes we produce are indeed not many. However, we have a professional clothing design department, and they have many styles of sample clothes, but they haven’t been put into production yet.”

“If you want to choose styles, I can take you to the design department to pick them. It will take some time for you to go back and set up your store, and during this time, the clothing styles you choose can be produced in the workshop, so it won’t affect your business.”

Wu Yu quickly explained.

The workshop has indeed started production during this period, but each clothing style definitely needs to produce a certain quantity before considering the next style. So, currently, the workshop doesn’t produce many clothing styles.

But the design department is different. I heard that during a month of working from home, those clothing designers have already designed many styles of clothing.

After the design department was established, they started making sample clothes. At this point, many styles of sample clothes have been made, but the workshop hasn’t put them into production yet, and all those sample clothes are still on the hangers in the design department.

“Okay!”

Lin Mei nodded.

Arriving at the design department.

“Lin Jie, this is Xu Yaning, who is the head of the design department.”

“This is Lin Mei, just call her Lin Jie. She has now joined our clothing brand. Please take her to choose some clothing styles.”

Wu Yu introduced them to each other.

The two greeted each other.

“Lin Jie, please follow me. The sample clothes are inside.”

Xu Yaning turned and walked into the design department.

Lin Mei followed.

“All the finished sample clothes are here. Of course, some haven’t been made yet, but there’s a simple hand-drawn catalog here.”

Xu Yaning pointed to a row of hangers beside her, and then took down a catalog hanging on a hanger, handing it to Lin Mei, who had followed her.

Lin Mei took the catalog, but didn’t open it. Instead, she carefully looked at the sample clothes on the hangers.

There were about twenty sample clothes, far fewer than the number of styles from true brand apparel, but it was understandable since this Clothing Factory had just undergone a transformation.

What surprised her was the style of the clothes on the hangers; each one was very unique.

Some parts were cleverly designed and looked very interesting.

The color combinations were also very harmonious, not too gaudy but not old-fashioned either; everything was just right.

Although some were not her preferred styles, they still gave her a refreshing feeling.

“Did you design all these?”

She turned to look at Xu Yaning beside her.

“Yes, but time is limited, so we only have this many sample clothes for now. If you think it’s too few, you can tell us what styles of clothing you want, and we can rush to make them.”

Xu Yaning nodded. Although they had tried their best to catch up these days, they had only managed to make this many sample clothes.

During this time, they even researched clothing styles and designs after work, and then came to the studio during the day to make finished sample clothes.

But even so, they only managed to produce these styles, because they couldn’t sacrifice quality for speed.

However, if the agent had a request, she could prioritize meeting the agent’s needs.

“No worries, these sample clothes are enough.”

Lin Mei waved her hand. As someone who frequently shops, the number of clothing types a Clothing Factory has isn’t actually that important.

What’s important is how many styles you have that can attract customers’ attention.

Office,

Chen Mo returned the dogs to their kennel and then went back to his office to scroll through short videos.

Recently, he had come across a rather poignant video on short video platforms.

It was about empty-nest elderly people.

These elderly individuals lived alone in rural areas with no one to care for them. The fortunate ones might have children who were alive but working elsewhere, sending them some living expenses.

The more tragic ones might have lost their children due to some misfortune, leaving them as lonely, widowed elderly people with no basic source of income. Their only livelihood might be their small vegetable garden.

But how much income could a small vegetable garden provide?

To save money, a single steamed bun had to be divided into several meals.

He had been paying attention to this matter recently, as he still had 1.2 million yuan in charity funds that he hadn’t used.

If he didn’t use it, it would be wasted.
