Chapter 303: Pet Models

"Pet Fashion Show!"

Jiang Cheng murmured to himself. It seemed Li Shen had mentioned this once before the new year.

Back then, he was only the Minister of the Production Department and hadn't concerned himself with the Garment factory's business affairs, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Hearing General Manager Pang bring it up now, he suddenly felt that this was definitely an excellent proposal.

The Pet Park would host a Pet Fashion Show, and then the Garment factory would handle the production and sales.

Currently, the clothes produced by the Garment factory were in a state of stagnant sales, and the clothes that had been produced were basically all piled up in the warehouse.

Just a few days ago, he had learned why the clothing stores in Jiang City were selling relatively well; it was entirely because those clothing stores had collaborated with Nanhe Coffee.

Anyone who purchased clothes at the clothing store would receive a 50-yuan coffee voucher as long as the price reached a certain range.

With this coffee voucher, one could go to Nanhe Coffee and order a 50-yuan cup of coffee.

This method was indeed very good, but for now, it could only be implemented in Jiang City; it simply wouldn't work for clothing stores in other cities. It was impossible for someone to buy clothes in another city and then run all the way to Jiang City just for a cup of coffee.

If they really wanted to implement this method, they would probably have to wait until Nanhe Coffee had expanded to all cities.

For now, it was definitely not feasible.

But the appearance of pet fashion at this moment had given him a selling point.

Since the normal clothing market wasn't working right now, they could try pet apparel.

Moreover, General Manager Chen had stated at the meeting before the new year that the future Garment factory would be involved in all clothing industries, so pet apparel was naturally included in that.

He figured General Manager Chen had probably thought of this long ago.

Jiang Cheng nodded secretly and looked at Pang Tao.

"Sure, I will take you to meet the company's fashion designer."

"Then I will have to trouble you, General Manager Jiang."

"General Manager Pang, you are too polite. This pet apparel of yours can be described as timely help for the Garment factory. You know something about the current situation of the Garment factory; normal clothing channels probably won't work. Perhaps this pet apparel can become the key to breaking the deadlock."

"If pet apparel can solve the current predicament of the Garment factory, that would naturally be good."

Pang Tao laughed heartily. Since they were all General Manager Chen's businesses, he naturally hoped that the Garment factory would grow and thrive.

The two talked as they arrived at the Design Department on the first floor.

They knocked on the door and walked in.

"General Manager Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng walk in, Xu Yaning hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm, let me introduce you. This is General Manager Pang from the Pet Park."

"This is Minister Xu Yaning from the Garment factory's Design Department."

Jiang Cheng introduced the two of them.

"Hello, General Manager Pang."

Hearing this, Xu Yaning hurriedly greeted him. She knew about the Pet Park; it was also one of General Manager Chen's businesses.

Moreover, she was very curious about this Pet Park. She had heard that after it was built, it would house some stray cats and dogs.

She had even planned to go take a look with Zhou Yu and the others once the Pet Park was built.

"Hello, Minister Xu. I came here today because I wanted to discuss some matters with you."

Pang Tao responded with a smile. Although he was higher in position than Xu Yaning, as a designer, she was in an important department of the Garment factory, and since he was asking for a favor, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent.

"I wonder what you would like to discuss, General Manager Pang."

Xu Yaning looked at Pang Tao with confusion.

"Let's go to your office to talk; it will be quieter there."

As she spoke, Xu Yaning led Pang Tao and Jiang Cheng out of the studio and into the Design Department Minister's office.

As a minister, she naturally had her own office, but she usually stayed in the studio to discuss new products with the members of the Design Department.

Upon entering the office, she poured a glass of water for each of the two general managers.

"General Manager Pang, you can speak now."

Pang Tao took the water glass and took a light sip.

"It's like this: the construction of the Pet Park is already half finished. To increase the appeal of the Pet Park, we have set up a Pet Fashion Show."

"Since it's a Pet Fashion Show, it naturally involves pet apparel."

"General Manager Pang, you want us to design pet apparel."

Xu Yaning instantly grasped Pang Tao's meaning.

"Yes, that's right. Although the Pet Park hasn't finished construction yet, the design and production of the clothing will definitely take some time, so I wanted to come to you in advance."

Pang Tao explained.

Xu Yaning pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke slowly.

"There is no problem with designing pet apparel, but there aren't many members in the Design Department at the moment. If we focus on pet apparel design, I'm afraid it will affect the progress of other clothing designs."

Although the Design Department had hired some new people, when distributed overall, they were still a bit stretched.

"Don't worry about that. The design of other apparel can be put on hold for the time being; you can prioritize the design of pet apparel."

Jiang Cheng spoke up from the side.

Currently, even if other apparel was designed and produced by the Garment factory, it wouldn't sell and would just pile up in the warehouse.

The Garment factory's original warehouse was already full.

If it hadn't been for renting the entire Industrial Park a while ago, and him reserving a larger workshop to store the finished clothing, he wouldn't know where to put the clothes they were producing.

So, putting the current clothing designs on hold for now wouldn't have any impact.

But pet apparel was different; if done well, it could very likely become a profit point for the Garment factory.

Therefore, in terms of importance, pet apparel was naturally more important.

At least for now, that was the case.

"Alright, General Manager Jiang, I will implement this matter later."

Having received Jiang Cheng's approval, Xu Yaning naturally had no concerns.

"However, since it is pet apparel, I will need a few pet models. After all, when we design the apparel, we will need the pets' body types and measurements."

"That's easy to handle. I'll go back to the Pet Park later and pick a few docile cats and dogs to bring over."

Pang Tao hurriedly said.

Pet models, huh.

With so many cats and dogs at their rescue station, it wouldn't be a problem to pick a few pet models.

"Good, sending them within two or three days will be fine. During this time, we need to do some pattern and style design. It will probably be about two or three days before we try to make samples."

Xu Yaning said with a smile.

Pang Tao nodded. After discussing the important matters, he didn't stay long and directly bid farewell and left.

"General Manager Jiang, if we are going to produce pet apparel, some materials and fabrics will need to be changed, and we may also need to purchase some decorations and such."

After seeing Pang Tao off, Xu Yaning looked at Jiang Cheng beside her and said.

"Hmm, for procurement matters, just communicate with Minister Cai Jing of the Procurement Department; I will notify them to cooperate."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he went upstairs and returned to his office.

Since they were prepared to develop pet apparel, he needed to make some adjustments to certain work arrangements.
