The reason for the fire market in Huating's clothing market was found to be because a nearby residents used electric furnaces in violation of regulations, causing fire to lose fire, and more than a dozen residents and merchants.

The warehouse rented by Li Wenxiu is among them.

This fire caused a direct economic loss, up to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

What makes people hate and feel sad is that the illegal use of an electric furnace is a lonely old man who lives alone.

.

After discussing the fire, the merchants of the fire initiated a compensation appeal to the market manager.

The market managers think that there is no fault on their own, and there is no loophole in management, because the house where the lonely old man lives is on the other side of the street, which does not belong to the scope of market management.

After all, this lawsuit is not there.

Li Wenxiu had no hope for compensation.

She just wants to open the clothing workshop as soon as possible and try to invest in a new money -making life.

When Li Wenxiu came back from the Market Management Office, when he talked with Wang Lin about the burned old man, he had a heart and said, "I heard that the old man was burned into black charcoal, it's terrible!"

Wang Linhu sighed: "People are old, everything is a difficult thing!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Therefore, people still have to have children, there are many people at home, popular!"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Do you want to have a baby?"

Li Wenxiu made a big face, and turned around, saying, "I have asked the factory for a week of leave, and I want to open the clothing workshop as soon as possible."

Wang Lin said: "If you only open a workshop, you can't spend much money. The clothing industry is the industry with the lowest entry threshold. There is no deep requirement for technology, funds, and management experience.

It is also the most intense. "

Li Wenxiu said: "I just want to develop a sideline, make more or less money. No matter how fierce the competition is, I can eat a meal. There are many people who enter the industry.

Wang Lin nodded.

Li Wenxiu said: "There are many female workers in the hometown of Xiaodie, who wants to come out to find a job without a good door. I want to go to her hometown and call a few female workers to come out.

That kind of thing.”

Wang Lin said: "The little girl in the countryside requires them to understand sewing? Don't hold too much hope. Now there are people with sewing machines in the countryside, I am afraid that there are not many."

Li Wenxiu said: "Workers in the city are expensive, the girls in the township are cheap. Fifty dollars can be invited to people in one month. I will invite six more people. The monthly salary is 300 yuan.

If you are skilled, you can make four pieces of clothes or seven pants every day! If you work overtime, you can produce more. "

Wang Lin groaned: "Wen Xiu, I have an idea. We only make pants, and only make women's pants. The style of pants is relatively simple and small. Some pants are fashionable and beautiful.

It will not be outdated in the year, and we don't need to do too much style. Only a few classic women's models, so that there are not many pressures, it is fast to produce, and it is easy to sell. "

Li Wenxiu said: "Don't make clothes? Don't produce skirts?"

Wang Lin said: "According to my experience, pants are better than clothes, and it is easy to sell. Considering the limitations and convenience of small workshops, it is the most cost -effective to sell women's pants.

. Our purpose is to make money for selling goods, not to produce good clothing. In summer, you can produce pork pants or cropped pants, and you can make money. "

Li Wenxiu asked: "Wouldn't that be too monotonous?"

Wang Lindao: "Business is endless. What we are opening now is not a big factory, but a small workshop. If you want to do everything, you may not be able to do anything well in the end. Which style do you follow when you see a popular style?

In the end, all you have left is a pile of unsold inventory and a pile of useless fabrics! After a year of busy work, when you calculate the general ledger, it turns out that you haven't made a penny, and your work in the fabric factory has been in vain."

Li Wenxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "You are the head of the family, I listen to you."

Wang Lin chuckled.

Li Wenxiu said: "We have been assigned a new house. Does this old house have to be returned to the housing management office?"

Wang Lin said: "Of course I have to retreat. Do you still want to use this place as a workshop?"

Li Wenxiu said: "I do have this idea."

Wang Lindao: "It's not good here. Although we run a small workshop, it still needs to look like a small factory. Let's rent a private house near Huating Road to use as a workshop! It's already commercialized over there, and many private houses are

It’s being rented out!”

The two of them decided to go out and look for a house together.

Li Wenxiu sat in the back seat of the car.

When the two of them travel, she has become accustomed to sitting on the back seat of Wang Lin's bicycle. She smells the faint smell of tobacco on his body and feels so solid and safe.

Wang Lin remodeled the back seat and made a cloth cushion so that his buttocks would not squish when he sat on it.

The weather was hot and the sun was scorching. As Wang Lin pedaled, his back quickly became wet.

The two came to Huating Road and looked for private houses for rent nearby.

On the telephone poles on the roadside, there are many advertisements posted haphazardly, including those for traveling doctors to treat diseases, some for veteran military doctors to help the world, some for repairing electrical appliances, and some for renting houses, and most of them are handwritten advertisements.

Wang Lin found several advertisements for renting houses and went to look at them one by one.

They finally settled on a two-story private house. The family went to work out of town and rented out the entire house. The monthly rent was only ten yuan.

Wang Lin looked at it and felt that the area was just right. The first floor could be used as a workshop, and the second floor could be used as workers' residence. As for cooking, in this era, few families had separate kitchens at home. Most families could only afford one.

The pot can be used to cook meals, either under the eaves or by the back door.

After the negotiation was completed, Wang Lin paid half a year's rent and signed a rental contract.

Once we have the space, the next step is to recruit people and buy machines.

Wang Lin was familiar with machines, but he wanted to take Li Wenxiu with him to make her familiar with the purchase and repair addresses of various machines, so that she could be on her own in the future.

When it comes to machines, Wang Lin would rather spend money on expensive ones than buy cheap ones with poor quality. Because the time and cost of later repairing the car can be annoying!

Interlock sewing machines, flat machines, and four-thread machines are the three most basic models and the most important garment production machines.

With these three types of vehicles, a simple workshop can be opened.

Pattern making and sample making are all done by hand. There are not many styles anyway, so Li Wenxiu can do it all by himself.

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu both know about fabrics and fabrics, and Shencheng's light textile industry is very developed. Most fabrics can be found in the city, and they can be purchased at Shencheng Textile Factory without even going to other factories.

As for other equipment such as ironing equipment and clamping machines, they can be added based on future needs.

After buying the machines, there will be a shortage of workers.

Wang Lin's idea is to recruit workers in the city first. If you can recruit skilled workers, that would be the best. If you can't recruit suitable ones, it's not too late to go to the countryside to find people.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, millions of educated youth returned to the city, and many of them were not assigned jobs, resulting in a large number of unemployed young people. Some of them became self-employed, and many more were unemployed.

Therefore, recruiting workers in the city is not as difficult as imagined. As soon as Wang Lin and the others posted their recruitment notice, they started calling for consultation.

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu interviewed a group of job applicants and selected several young women with sewing experience.

Another advantage for female workers in the city is that they have homes in the city and can go home to rest.

What they want is higher wages.

In the end, Wang Lin hired six female workers with a monthly salary of 70 yuan. They all have homes and can go home to sleep without occupying the second floor of the workshop. In addition, they can go home to eat, but they need to be given a daily subsidy of 50 cents.

Money for canteen subsidies.

Calculated in this way, each female worker spends 85 yuan per month.

Li Wenxiu felt that the wages were too expensive and felt a little heartbroken.

Wang Lin said that female workers in the city have at least attended junior high school or even high school. They are knowledgeable and insightful, have strong learning ability, and accept new things quickly. Moreover, they save space for sleeping and the second floor can be used as a warehouse.

Save yourself the trouble of cooking, why not?

Li Wenxiu was convinced by Wang Lin.

She and six female workers, as well as Li Wenjuan and Sun Xiaodie, officially started working in the workshop. They left early and came home late every day. When they returned home, they were making patterns and making samples. They only slept for six hours and worked the rest of the time.

Li Wenxiu made patterns and then taught others how to use the machine and how to sew.

Everything has a process of learning and growth. Women in the city are clever and ingenious, and some are hard-working. They learn skills very quickly. After a week of training and running-in, they can quickly make pants.

When producing clothing, the most important thing is pattern making!

The quality of the pattern determines the beauty and comfort of a style.

There are many clothes and trousers that look similar in appearance and fabric, but when you put them on you realize that they are completely different!

This is because the format is different.

Clothing pattern making is to make a sample of a clothing creative design. Clothing pattern making is also called clothing pattern, clothing sample or clothing template. The correct name should be clothing structural design.

This is a profound knowledge, and it is also the soul and key of clothing!

Why do clothes from big brands look good?

Just because the shape is good, it looks crisp, decent, elegant and beautiful when worn.

Wang Lin only needs to grasp this key point to let the clothing workshop produce unique clothing.

The first batch of pants produced by the clothing workshop is finally ready for sale!

Today is another Sunday. Wang Lin came back from running treasury bonds out of town yesterday and happened to be resting at home. Early in the morning, he and Li Wenxiu went to the clothing workshop and picked up hundreds of pairs of trousers produced, and then took them to Huating Clothing Market

sell.
