Chapter 665 666 [Times have changed]

   In the blink of an eye, 1996 will be here.

  Liren Clothing has made great progress in 1995.

  The annual production of clothing exceeds 10 million pieces, the annual profit reaches 14 million, and the tax payment alone reaches more than 2 million. It is a famous taxpayer in the county.

   Moreover, the brand of Liren Clothing is getting louder and louder.

  Last year, Splash even invited Jiang Shan, who became famous for filming "Have a Good Time" to speak for Liren Clothing and shoot commercials. This move greatly enhanced the popularity of Liren's clothing, and even clothing dealers in Yanzhao, Qilu, and Zhongyuan came to order Liren's clothing.

  However, Xiang Nan reminded Splash not to rely too much on these distributors.

  They are all scumbags, and if they can sell beauty clothes today, they can also sell other products tomorrow. The key is to have your own sales channels.

  He suggested that Splash should build its own specialty store and lay out its own sales channels. In this way, we can get rid of the dependence on dealers and control costs.

  Shuihua readily accepted Xiang Nan's suggestion.

  In fact, she also feels that it is not safe enough to always rely on dealers.

  Before, Liren Clothing encountered a crisis and was returned by a dealer.

  And to be honest, with the addition of a dealer, the price of clothes will be 30 to 40% higher when they reach consumers.

  The clothes that cost 30 to 40 yuan from the factory are sold at an extra price, and they get 50 to 60 yuan. Individual best-selling styles can even be sold for around 100 yuan.

  A lot of profits have been made by these middlemen. And if you open your own specialty store, the profit of Liren Clothing will be higher, and consumers will be able to get more benefits.

  …

  So in February, Liren Clothing's first specialty store opened on Yanjing Road in Yinchuan City.

  On opening day, all clothing will be 30% off. The sales of the single store reached 1.5 million that day, which also allowed Shuihua to see the power of the specialty store.

  So after that, beauty stores began to spread widely. Yinchuan, Chang'an, Lanzhou, Xixi, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Ordos... Within a year, more than 60 specialty stores have been opened.

  The establishment of these specialty stores has also doubled the sales of the factory compared to last year, and quadrupled the profit, which can be said to be a great success.

  …

  In May, Teacher Bai and Bai Maimiao also immigrated to Yuquan Camp.

   "Wow, this place is so well built, such a big factory, so many orchards..." Mai Miao couldn't help admiring seeing the large factories, large orchards, and smooth roads.

   "This factory belongs to Sister Shuihua, and this orchard belongs to Brother Yongfu." Debao laughed.

   "Really?! Sister Shuihua is so powerful, managing such a big factory?!" Mai Miao said in surprise, in her impression, Shuihua was still the young lady in the poor valley.

   I didn't expect to see him for a few years, and he has become an entrepreneur. Look at such a large factory building, it is more lively than the county town.

   "Yes. There are more than 2,000 workers in this factory alone." Shui Wang nodded, "Workers who do a good job can earn 700 to 800 a month."

   "Seven to eight hundred?!" Mai Miao's eyes widened, "That's more than my father's income."

   "Of course it is, distribution according to work, more pay for more work." Gawa laughed, "I am now working in Yongfu'er brother's orchard, and there are more than 600 a month, and I can learn skills for free.

  Eh, now I have planted three acres of grapes myself. After I have learned all the techniques, I will contract land and expand the planting. By then, I can earn thousands of dollars per acre of land. "

   "Really, alas!" Mai Miao was extremely envious.

  …

   Teacher Bai found Xiang Nan and expressed his gratitude to him.

  It turned out that after Xiang Nan's works became famous all over the country, a large number of tourists went to Kushui Village to play.

  During the period, they heard that Mr. Bai was the prototype of the novel "Monument", so they came to visit him one after another, and donated money and materials to the school, which greatly improved the conditions of Yongquan Village Primary School.

  Unfortunately, because many people have immigrated, the number of students has shrunk, and the village primary school was forced to close down. Otherwise, he would still be teaching in the village.

   "Mr. Bai, don't be sad. Yuquanying also has a primary school, and it is in urgent need of teachers. You don't have to worry about being useless." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile.

   Teacher Bai smiled and nodded, "Well, I just heard that there is an elementary school here, so I came here quickly."

"What is lacking in the school, such as desks, chairs, teaching aids, textbooks, paper and pens, etc., Teacher Bai just asks, and I will not hesitate." Xiang Nan laughed, "No matter how hard it is, the children cannot be poor, and no matter how poor they are, education cannot be poor. The more we are here In a poor place, the children must be taught well, otherwise, they will never recover.”

   "Yongfuer, your idea is the same as that of your forehead." Teacher Bai nodded, "The more poor the place, the more positive and hard-working spirit is needed. Only education can change a person's spirit.

   Otherwise, people will get used to being lazy and not enterprising. Just like those people in our village, they are so poor that they can't afford to wear pants, and they still don't want to move. "

   "It's all thanks to your teaching, Teacher Bai." Xiang Nan nodded and said.

  …

  After Teacher Bai came to Yuquanying, Yuquanying Primary School officially started classes.

  Xiang Nan donated a batch of desks and chairs, a batch of chalk, a batch of extracurricular books, a batch of football and basketball to the primary school.

  Splash also donated 62 sets of school uniforms to the school, all of which are blue and white sacks. In Xiang Nan's eyes, it was ugly enough, but the students and parents were very grateful.

   This outfit is already the best-looking and most beautiful outfit they have ever worn. And the whole class wears this kind of clothing, which looks neat and uniform. To be honest, it looks much more pleasing to the eye than the previous miscellaneous clothing.

  Even Teacher Bai is very satisfied.

   And Mai Miao was also recruited into the Liren Clothing Factory, temporarily working as a sewing girl. But Shuihua knew that she was smart, so she was going to train her to be his assistant, to help her shoulder the burden.

  …

  Because of Xiang Nan's arrival, the development of Yuquanying and Jintan Village has changed a lot compared to the plot.

  For example, in the play, when Teacher Bai and Bai Maimiao came, the village had neither access nor electricity, and there was deserted beach as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to find a green tree.

   Now, Jintan Village has been connected to electricity and roads, and the third-level pumping station is almost completed. And there are orchards everywhere, a large area of ​​lush greenery, the scenery is much better than in the play, and the wind and sand are much smaller than in the play.

  At least when they came, they didn't encounter sandstorms again.

  In the play, Debao, Gawa, and Shuiwang can only move bricks in the brick factory, exhausting themselves, and because of Mai Miao lost the job, the three of them are forced to pick up the train.

  Now, all three of them have regular jobs, working in orchards. After three years of training, they are now skilled workers, earning more than 700 yuan a month, even more than Ma Defu.

  So the three of them can't afford to pick up the train again. Gawa doesn't have to run to Xinxuan, and Depot doesn't have to be separated from Mai Miao. So, it's still pretty good.
