Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

Time to enter August.

Billy's foreign teacher team has expanded to more than 20 people.

The branches of Jiayang Education in Quancheng and Qingdao also officially started classes.

The advertising bombing lasted for half a month in the early stage paved the way for Jiayang Education, and the enrollment was extremely popular from the very beginning.

The cultural shirts of Jiayang Education also began to appear in the streets and alleys of these two cities.

Immediately afterwards, Tuzki T-shirts also sold well in these two cities.

Li Xuan purchased a batch of new equipment worth millions of dollars for Guancheng Garment, which greatly improved the production capacity of Guancheng Garment.

Coupled with the return of some old employees one after another, the production capacity of Guancheng Garment T-shirts has achieved a leap, with a daily production capacity of more than 8,000 pieces.

In just one week, Xueba T-shirts have rapidly become popular in five cities, and children wearing Xueba T-shirts can be seen everywhere in the streets.

Xu Yiyang took time out to draw two more sketches of Tuzki.

Just when Li Xuan came to deliver the goods, Xu Yiyang took out his sketches from the drawer, handed them to her and said, "Sister Xuan, take a look at these two pictures, if there is no problem, we will use them for the next two T-shirts."

Li Xuan took the sketches, looked at the first one first, and was immediately attracted by the two Tuzkis with weary expressions on the picture.

On the screen, two Tuzkis are looking at each other, holding a book in their hands, and the Tuzki on the left said to the Tuzki on the right, "What a coincidence, you are also studying!"

This idea actually originated from those dirty emoticons in later generations.

However, Xu Yiyang added the book and revised the dialogue, which greatly changed the style and meaning of the painting.

Like the Xueba T-shirt, the core that Xu Yiyang wants to highlight is "study hard".

Although Li Xuan came from a painting background, she has never been exposed to comics and stick figures, but she has never come into contact with Tuzki's extremely simple but extremely interesting cartoon characters before.

Xu Yiyang's last photo of Tuzki in "I want to be a top student" has already amazed her, but she did not expect that the charm and taste of this picture is much stronger than the previous one.

Looking at the vivid Tuzki on the paper, Li Xuan sincerely praised: "Mr. Xu, these two Tuzki's paintings are so vivid! Have you really never learned how to draw?"

Xu Yiyang laughed and said, "It's just at the level of scribbling."

Li Xuan turned to the second sheet and found that there was a picture of Tuzki pinching his waist with his left hand and raising an index finger with his right hand on the scrap paper. Stars were shining in Tuzki's eyes, and a flashing light bulb was drawn on his finger.

The circle that Xu Yiyang drew in this picture is an expression on the Internet in later generations. A wretched cartoon character uses such a pose, accompanied by a narration: "The day of silver swing has begun!"

However, the text that Xu Yiyang assigned to it was: "Study hard today!"

In short, the theme of each piece is related to the theme of studying hard.

Xu Yiyang's thinking is also very simple, the child's clothes should not only cater to the child's preferences, but also cater to the preferences of the parents and teachers.

If a piece of clothing is liked by children, parents, and teachers, then basically there is no need to worry about selling it.

Li Xuan had an intuition that once these two designs were produced, they would definitely sell well, so she immediately asked Xu Yiyang, "Mr. Xu, should we produce the second and third models at the same time, or should we produce the second model first?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Let's produce at the same time, but the production capacity should be allocated reasonably. A small part of the production capacity is used to produce the first and third models, and most of the second model is produced. In this way, after the second model is released, the inventory accumulated by the third model There are also more."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements when I get back."

Xu Yiyang asked Li Xuan: "The weather will be cold in a few months,

When we switch to long-sleeved T-shirts and hoodies, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right? "

Li Xuan said: "There is no problem with these, but the production process of these styles is more complicated than that of short-sleeved T-shirts, and the production capacity may not be able to keep up by then."

Xu Yiyang asked: "How about continuing to invest more? Let the factory expand a little bit."

Li Xuan said: "It's not only about expanding the scale, but also about the workers. We don't have many local skilled garment workers. The equipment is easy to buy, but it's hard to recruit people."

After speaking, Li Xuan said again: "Actually, I would suggest to send the order to the large foundry in the South, and let them manufacture it. This way the speed will be much faster."

Xu Yiyang nodded, and said: "If Tuzki can cover the whole province or even the whole country in the future, we must switch to an OEM, but in that case, wouldn't Guancheng Garment seem very tasteless?"

Li Xuan said seriously: "The biggest problem with Guancheng Garments is that it is difficult to scale up. Compared with large factories in the south with thousands of employees, it really has no advantage."

Xu Yiyang said: "From a purely operational point of view, the best choice is actually to stop Guancheng Garment, or stop planning to continue to expand, and give all the subsequent demand to the foundry, but I still hope that Guancheng Cheng Garment can continue to expand on the existing basis, among other things, at least it can provide some jobs for Yingzhou."

Xu Yiyang remembers his mother's helplessness after being laid off by the garment factory. Now Guancheng Garment can solve the employment problem of dozens of people. If it can continue to expand, it has the potential to solve at least hundreds of jobs.

The southward migration of the labor force is mainly due to the lack of local jobs.

From the early 1990s to the present, job vacancies in the north are getting bigger and bigger. It is not that the labor force wants to go to the south to work, but that the locals cannot find jobs and can only go to the south to work.

Xu Yiyang has no ability to change the general trend, but at least he can play a small role in Yingzhou, providing hundreds of jobs in Yingzhou and relieving the economic pressure of hundreds of families.

If Tuzki covered the whole country, it would be impossible for the production base to be located in Yingzhou, because it would at least expand the scale of Guancheng Garment by nearly a hundred times, and the cost of time and capital would be high.

However, if the demand in Qilu Province is handed over to Guancheng Garment, it is actually feasible.

Local labor is cheaper, and the cost of operating and building factories is not high. Self-produced and sold locally can also improve turnover efficiency and reduce intermediate costs. Overall, it is more cost-effective than full OEM.

So, he roughly explained his thoughts to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was naturally supportive after listening, but she still expressed her worries: "It is actually easy to expand the hardware, and it can be solved by spending money, but the most troublesome It is recruitment, it is difficult to recruit skilled workers in Yingzhou now, but it is also difficult to recruit from other places, and the cost will increase a lot, I have not yet figured out how to solve it.”

Xu Yiyang asked her: "Do our local technical schools, vocational high schools, etc. have clothing majors?"

Li Xuan said: "Vocational high schools have clothing majors, but there are very few people. It seems that there are one or two classes in total, and dozens of people can come out in a year."

Xu Yiyang asked again: "How about starting the training from the basics? We can set up a corresponding training class for technicians and recruit laid-off workers from our Yingzhou for free training. If they don't have the basics, we will train them intensively for two months and then send them to the factory for training." Let’s start with skilled workers, give them another two months to practice, and in four months, at least they can do some basic work, right?”

Li Xuan nodded: "Four months of basic work is definitely enough, and it will be faster to get started with the assembly line."

After speaking, Li Xuan asked again: "If you do the training for free, the cost should be higher?"

Xu Yiyang said: "It doesn't matter. I don't have much money. It should be a contribution to the re-employment of laid-off workers in the city. After learning a little basic, it will be easier to go to the south to work even if you don't work in Guancheng."

After listening to this, Li Xuan couldn't help sighing in her heart, Xu Yiyang is young, but has a strong sense of social responsibility.

Spend their own money on training courses and train laid-off workers for free. This kind of thing has never been done by private enterprises in Yingzhou.

While admiring, she also said with some concern: "Mr. Xu, I have never done training for professional technicians. If I really want to operate it, I have to figure it out from the beginning. It may take a little time."

Xu Yiyang waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this, I know people who train technicians."

At this time, what appeared in his mind was Chen Dazhong who rented the venue of the Children's Palace to him.

Isn't that buddy doing reemployment training? I don't know if there is a clothing major.

If not, I can give him a sum of money and let him hold a clothing training class, which is also a good thing for him.

Xu Yiyang then said to Li Xuan: "I'll give him a call to see if we can cooperate and hold a training class for Guancheng Garment."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiyang immediately called Chen Dazhong.

Chen Dazhong hadn't met or contacted Xu Yiyang for a few days, and when he received Xu Yiyang's call, he was a little surprised and asked, "Brother Xu, why do you think of me today?"

Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I just want to ask, how is your re-employment training going?"

"Hey, that's it, half-dead, you can't compare with my brother, you've made a fortune!"

"I'm just messing around."

Xu Yiyang said modestly, and asked: "By the way, do you have training in clothing? Such as tailoring, lathe work and so on."

Chen Dazhong said: "I didn't do clothing training here. Isn't there only one clothing factory in Yingzhou? Some time ago, I heard that it was about to collapse. Where can I get a job in clothing training!"

Xu Yiyang said: "The garment factory you mentioned was taken over by me. I plan to invest several million to expand the scale, but there is a shortage of workers. Would you like to cooperate with me to hold a garment training class?"

Chen Dazhong thought for a while, and said: "I have to say hello to the reemployment office of the Labor Bureau, because my training here is mainly subsidized by the Labor Bureau."

Xu Yiyang asked: "How is the subsidy calculated?"

Chen Dazhong said: "Actually, it's just a formality. For example, let's train a laid-off worker. After completing the course, the Labor Bureau will give me a subsidy of 200 yuan, but I have to pay for the cost."

"Understood." Xu Yiyang said: "You don't need to say hello to the labor bureau anymore. We will cooperate in this matter, and I will pay for the cost. When the time comes, I will invite the teachers for the training and I will be responsible for the training equipment. You will mainly be responsible for helping I find venues and then help me with day-to-day management."

"As for the training fee on your side, I will give you 200 yuan to train one person to complete the entire course, but since the cost is all paid by me, your 200 yuan is much higher than other training."

Chen Dazhong asked excitedly: "Brother, is what you said true?"
