Ye Huan took the tailors out this ti to broaden their horizons and get so exposure. She actually had the intention of training them. Anyone working with her diligently would not be mistreated, after all, she had the experience of many lifetis. Although she couldn’t recall things in her mind, the subconscious reaction of picking up a pen and sketching was sharp. Sotis, she didn’t even have to think to outline the patterns she wanted. It’s an instinctive reaction that has beco one with her.
She would give these tailors a six-month observation period. As long as their character and other aspects were reliable, she would sign contracts with them and confidentiality agreents.
Like the ancient embroiderers who learned from a young age, they were hard to find. These won were recruited from the countryside, their hands were rather rough, unsuited for delicate work.
Moreover, embroidery is not sothing that can be mastered overnight. Even for her, it was due to cumulative experiences from several lifetis. How could an ordinary person learn it and beco proficient?
However, Ye DanNi and Ye Danfeng had learned embroidery from her since they were young. Although not professional, they could still manage to bluff their way through.
If she hadn’t had the experience of learning needlework in ancient tis, she wouldn’t have been able to be a tailor. Tailoring is not sothing just anyone can do.
Rather than saying she took the won out to gain insights, it could be said it was a process of assessnt—who was smart and capable, who was sly, who liked taking advantage. One could see who had a good sense for things during this process. For this, she even made an assessnt table, recording in detail the performance of these won.
Though the village head introduced capable people, and they seed quite competent. Competence doesn’t solely depend on talent. So, she still posted recruitnt notices at the gate. On one hand, they could work in shifts, having ti to rest. On the other hand, it was a wake-up call for these won. Coming here didn’t an they could relax. If they didn’t perform well, they could be dismissed anyti.
Fortunately, though, everyone’s skills got better with practice. Sotis she gave them a picture and let them work on it. They could asure each other for sizes, design, and make. The general direction was given, and they just needed to refine it.
Of course, this is also an assessnt process. What she needs are people who can replicate a given design like a copying machine, with minimal deviation, reflecting the style of their [Huanyan] brand. Only by identifying their brand’s characteristics can they manage well.
So, the first ti they used the handy corner materials to make sothing, the results weren’t good. All kinds of designs were produced. Without specific data and guidance from her, the clothes they made were... unsightly.
But, after her repeated guidance, and their humble acceptance of changes, at least the clothes were wearable. This was a significant improvent and the motivation for Ye Huan to continue.
The tailoring shop smoothly combines learning with practice. On the clothing store side, as long as Ye Huan’s finished products were hung up, they attracted orders. On average, at least two orders could be filled each day, resulting in fifty to sixty orders a month. Each set averaged 200 yuan, resulting in a turnover of twelve thousand. She could earn at least thirty percent, which is three thousand six hundred. Such a large profit, in 1984, is more than considerable, isn’t it?
Of course, even the thirty percent is after all expenses, including cloth, premises, sewing machine costs, utility fees, wages, als, accommodation, all sorts of costs are subtracted, so saying it’s three thousand six hundred net profit is not overstated. If you add the operating profit from the clothing store, she’s almost hitting a ten thousand a month; if not this month, then the next.
Being a ten-thousand-yuan household in a month in 1984, wouldn’t she beco a one hundred thousand yuan household in a year?
Ye Huan has spent most of her life stifled, and now that she finally has the joy of making money, she is naturally tireless in her efforts.
When the kids ca to Beijing for their sumr vacation, seeing her lifestyle, they once opposed her pushing herself so hard.
Ye Huan waved them off: "Alright, when you went to college, I didn’t ddle. Now that I’m making money, you’re actually trying to interfere?"
"Let’s not do this, you focus on your studies and your majors. Now university students even have allowances, and you don’t need us to send money for your expenses. You can take care of yourselves. Your dad and I just want to make so retirent money for ourselves. Your dad worked hard for ten years, doesn’t he need money for recuperation? Our biggest wish is not to burden you in the future, so don’t worry too much about us. I’m a doctor myself, I know my health, don’t worry, I’m pacing myself!"
