Chapter 226 The Development Direction of Red Star
At noon on Wednesday, Yang Hanning called and told Tang Yu that the acquisition of Red Star in Hongfeng Town had passed the town government office meeting, and agreed to the requirements put forward by Tang Yu. However, the town government also put forward a request, that is, if the acquisition of Red Star in the past is recruited, it should be given priority. Consider the employees of the former Red Star Factory.
This condition was as early as Tang Yu's expectation. The town government was afraid that Tang Yu would fire the old employees after acquiring Red Star. At that time, they may go to the town government or the municipal government to make trouble again. There are a group of unemployed people. It's not a good thing for this official. Maybe these people who can't open the pot will make trouble. Now that Red Star is exempted from tax, Red Star will naturally bear some responsibility.
There are only more than 150 people in the Red Star Factory. It is reasonable to say that even if these people gather to make trouble, they can calm down under the tough means of the municipal government, but in fact this is not the case.
The salary of Red Star factory employees is generally the largest economic source in a family, with a monthly salary of two hundred yuan per month, which is also moderately high in this era. If the interests of Red Star employees are damaged, it may affect the life of the family. Therefore, when they make trouble, they are usually not alone, but take the family together. Several, more than 150 employees, can gather a team of more than 500 people. In this team, you can even see the ancient old man with crutches and the baby who is still crying in the baby.
The so-called law does not blame the public. If there are only 150 people, the government can suppress it by tough means, but if it is a team of five or six hundred people, the government will be very embarrassed. It is definitely unrealistic to arrest all of them. In the end, it can only be both soft and hard, grab a few leaders, and then comfort others with soft words. In addition to this, there is no other way, but this method is to treat the symptoms but not the root causes, and it may even cause a greater rebound because of those arrested people. This is the fundamental problem of headaches and embarrassment for the town government, district governments and even municipal governments.
Moreover, once there is a group or event, no matter how to deal with these troubles in the end, there must be a few scapegoats among the officials, which is also the usual practice.
For Tang Yu's request, the town government only took a form and passed it unanimously. The town government called Yang Hanning to ask Tang Yu when he would have time. It is best to inform Song Wanru. In the past two days, the Hongfeng Town Government will sign the contract.
Can Song Wanru come? Just kidding, not to mention a town government, I'm afraid it's also very difficult for Tao Yehua to see Song Wanru. Seeing or not depends on Song Wanru's mood. Not to mention Song Wanru is not interested in these things in the first place. Even if she is interested, it is not convenient for her to come.
Tang Yu is very clear about the plan of the town government. They just want to have a relationship with Song Wanru through this matter of the Red Star Factory, that is, they can't get a relationship and give Song Wanru a good impression, which is also a beneficial and harmless thing. After all, that can indirectly have a relationship with the governor. For those who are not at the highest level, it is really ordinary for those who are not at the highest level.
Song Wanru will not come. The acquisition of Red Star is completely Tang Yu's own decision. He just borrowed Song Wanru's banner, and not only will Song Wanru not go, but Tang Yu can't go. It's not that Tang Yu's airs is big, but because Tang Yu really doesn't have extra time. I have to study at school every day from Monday to Friday. Although Tang Yu can ask for a day off, which is a harmless thing, Tang Yu feels that it is not necessary. Signing the contract is just a scene. You don't have to go in person. Yang Hanning can just go.
Tang Yu told Yang Hanning to do something on the phone, so that she could have time to sign the contract by herself. As for the down payment of 200,000 yuan, it can be remitted after the mortgage of the BMW is paid. In fact, for many things, it is inconvenient for Tang Yu to stand in front of the stage. Age is a problem, and identity is also a problem. These are all things that need to be paid attention to.
Red Star Clothing Factory has been successfully acquired, and then it will start to start the rectification of Red Star. The first time is to eliminate those old and shabby sewing machines and introduce advanced sewing equipment. If you want to do a good job, you must first use sharp tools. Without good sewing equipment, even if you are skillful hands, it is difficult to make good clothes.
It may take about 200,000 yuan to introduce advanced equipment. After the equipment is introduced, it is necessary to consider the procurement of materials. In the mid-1990s, there were not many types of cloth. Most of them were corduroy, denim, canvas, pure cotton and other fabrics on the market. The variety of yarn products in later generations are rare. .
What kind of fabric to buy is related to the development direction of the clothing factory. Red Star originally mainly produces Zhongshan clothing. The procurement direction is mainly thick fabrics such as corduroy and pure wool, but Tang Yu does not want to develop in this direction. Tang Yu intends to move closer to sports and leisure.
The market share of Zhongshan suit is not small. In 1993, professional clothing represented by Wang Xinyuan was popular. The formal clothes were mainly made of pure wool fabrics, involving navy blue, khaki, bean green and other colors.
However, as an experienced person, Tang Yu is very clear about the fashion trend in the following years. When the market for suits and professional clothing reaches saturation and the popularity gradually fades, it is replaced by a variety of casual clothing, mainly denim fabrics. Tang Yu remembers that there was a period of time when the trend of popular flared trousers would blow again. When he came back, Tang Yu considered whether to insert a foot in it. In fact, Tang Yu did not plan to make much money from this clothing factory. It was just a feeling for this factory that had been continued in his previous life. It was not so much about this factory as a feeling for the workers of this factory. Since he has the ability to help these lovely workers who have helped his life in this life, he has to do his best. At least he can't let the factory close down and let the workers have no food. Naturally, this factory should also be run in a prosperous business.
Flared trousers became popular in the early 1980s. They once led the fashion trend in the 1980s, but in the late 1980s, the trend gradually faded. It was not until the mid-1990s that the popular trend came back again.
Tang Yu is a little hesitant. The trend of flared trousers will not last long. There will definitely be profits when you intervene, but it will not be too big. Moreover, this trend of going back and forth will soon dissipate. In addition to producing casual clothing, Tang Yu has another idea in mind, which is to produce sports clothing, such as sportswear.
From the 1980s to the early 1990s, there was basically no market for sportswear. The person driving China's sportswear market was Li Ning. Li Ning Sports Goods Co., Ltd. was established in 1990. At the beginning of its establishment, there was not much market. It was not until 1993 that it entered the stage of rapid development. The trend of the sports clothing industry has also been set off at this stage.
In terms of long-term development, the prospect of sportswear is optimistic. Of course, there may be some setbacks in the early stage. In China, it seems that Li Ning is a brand that rose in the 1990s.
However, Tang Yu has not completely decided on the specific development direction of Hongxiu, and he has more or less cared about it. It's still a little early to consider this. The most important thing is to rectify the Red Star Factory first and stabilize the mood of employees. For the time being, don't let these workers not open the pot at home, which can ensure the factory. If you turn a loss into a profit, you should at least maintain a relative balance. VCD is still burning money. Although Tang Yu wants to help the people of Red Star, he will not keep investing money in this small factory. That's the end for him.
When he came home in the evening, after dinner, Tang Yu lay on his desk and drew something randomly.
Tang Yu has decided the development direction of Red Star and decided to develop into sports clothing like the Li Ning brand. Of course, Tang Yu did not intend to develop Red Star into an international brand comparable to Li Ning. At that time, it was unrealistic. Li Ning had a natural advantage. With Li Ning's position in Chinese sports, Li Ning will soon be accepted by people. His name is a natural advertising brand for this brand. However, Red Star is not like this. Although Red Star holds Tang Yu, a forward-looking decision maker, it is impossible to compare with Li Ning. No matter how hard he tries, he can't completely make up for the shortcomings. Well-known athletes have natural advantages in making sportswear.
Of course, Tang Yu just wants to get a piece of the pie in the clothing market. Since Tang Yu takes over, he doesn't plan to be perfunctory. Even if it is not as good as Li Ning's international brand, he should at least have a foothold in China. In the early stage of Li Ning's development, Red Star can also get involved.
However, if Red Star wants to get on the right track, it will have to go through a long period of time. The most important thing is the formulation of style. Only a good style will be accepted by the society faster.
Tang Yu has countless styles of clothing in his mind. In the 21st century before Tang Yu's rebirth, the variety of clothing can be said to be dazzling, but not any style of clothes in the 21st century can be copied to the present. Every era has the clothing characteristics of each era.
For example, in the period when the early 1990s are about to enter the middle of the year, the social atmosphere is relatively conservative. If the low-cut clothes, naked, back clothes and miniskirts of later generations are brought to the present, I'm afraid that they will not only be welcomed, but will be condemned by the society.
Not to mention the present, but in the late 1990s, miniskirts were once criticized by major scholars, calling them the culprits of corrupting social atmosphere and humanistic ideas.
Tang Yu has never learned drawing. Although he has simply come into contact with it in his previous life, he can't be done by a layman like Tang Yu to put the clothing style in his mind on paper according to the appropriate Billy size.
Tang Yu put down the pen in his hand and looked at some alternative clothes on the paper in front of him. Tang Yu smiled bitterly. The clothes he drew may be liked by the non-mainstream of future generations, but it is definitely not acceptable to people in this era, that is, Tang Yu himself, looking at The drawings I drew by myself are a little awkward.
It seems that we still need to find a fashion designer. Although Tang Yu can't put the clothes in his mind on paper, those professionals can always do it. After Tang Yu describes the style of the clothes, he can give the rest to other professionals.
Looking up at the time, it was more than eight o'clock unconsciously. Tang Yu drew for more than an hour, stood up, stretched out, and was ready to go to bed to read for a while, and then went to bed.
At this moment, Tang Yu's mobile phone rang.
After Tang Yu connected to Shen Zhai's phone, Shen Yun's slightly delicate voice came from the other end of the phone, "Bad boy, I haven't slept yet."
"I'm going to go to bed. What, bad girl, what do you want with me? You seldom call me." Tang Yuming knew what Shen Yun was looking for. He should have asked him to go to the provincial capital to celebrate her birthday on Saturday, but in order to surprise her, Tang Yu could only pretend not to know.
"Well, if I don't call you, you won't call me. Why are you so ungentlemanly, hum." Tang Yu touched his nose and hung a trace of arc on the corners of his mouth. He could even imagine Shen Yun's anger at the other end of the phone. He didn't do more entanglement in this matter. He was at his own loss in this matter. No matter more, he must be the one who suffered.
"Bad girl, what are you looking for? What's the matter? Tell me."
"I can't find you if it's okay, hum." Shen Yun seemed to be very angry today. After snorting coldly, her voice suddenly subsided and said hesitantly, "Well, bad boy, you, you, do you have time on Saturday?"
"Saturday..." Tang Yu pretended to lengthen his voice and seemed to be thinking, "Well, I'm afraid I don't have time this Saturday. Do you know, is it about to take the midterm exam? My mother found a tutor for me. I'm going there to tutor on Saturday. What, what's the matter?" Since he planned to surprise her, how could Tang Yu let her know that he would go to the provincial capital on Saturday?
"Oh." Shen Yun's mood fell obviously, "Then you can have a rest."
"What's the matter with you?" Hearing Shen Yun's deep tone, a pity suddenly appeared in Tang Yu's heart.
"It's okay. I'm just calling to question you, you bad boy. Who told you not to call me for so long? Humph, okay, go to bed, I'm going to bed, I'm going to sleep." Shen Yun said softly, "Good night.
"Good night."
Tang Yuqiang resisted the impulse to tell her the truth and hung up the phone. For a moment, Tang Yu's mind was full of Shen Yun's beautiful figure. He read the book for a while and fell asleep in a daze.
