Chapter 161

  A group of people went to Jufeng Building, which happened to be lunchtime. There were many people in Jufeng Building! However, Li Jingyue had a connection and made a last-minute decision to come to Jufeng Building, and surprisingly got a table.

  An'an quietly observed the restaurant from the moment she entered. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary two-story building with a grey stone exterior, nothing special about it. However, inside was spacious enough. Just like last time when we went to Tuo Tang and had snacks, although small, everything was complete.

  So Jufeng Hall belongs to the high-end hotel of later generations. Let Li Jingyue say it himself, if he talks about eating, he would rather go to the small alley of Tuo Tang, but in order to entertain guests and thank people, how many points are lost in politeness when going to eat inside Xiao Tuo Hall?

  This was ordered at Jufeng Hall.

  Because they came relatively late to the table, the dishes were also slower. However, before dinner, Anan suddenly thought of something and asked seriously, "Young uncle, who designed the patterns for your garment factory's clothing?" Afraid that Li Jingyue wouldn't understand, she even made a gesture, "You know, like a tailor, drawing pictures."

  Li Jingyue was taken aback, not understanding why Anan would suddenly ask this question. However, she didn't hide the truth from Anan: "Our garment factory had previously introduced a foreigner, but later due to various reasons, that foreigner left the garment factory and returned to his own country. Now after that foreigner left, there are two apprentices of his, as well as an old master who has made clothes for a lifetime in charge of this area."

  An An thought to herself, "Are all the clothes in the store really made by them?"

  Li Jingyue nodded, "Right!"

  "If you have a better clothing model, can you negotiate with the garment factory? Or bring those few people over to make clothes for you." An's words were like painting a big pie in front of Li Jingyue, a pie that symbolized his dream of advancing forward. He had thought about leaving the garment factory and going solo before, at least he wouldn't have so many restrictions now and would no longer need to ask others for help everywhere.

  However, although he is currently attached to a garment factory and has limitations, there are also benefits. He doesn't have to worry about the source of finished clothes, which belongs to his previous type, and in the back end, there will be an entire garment factory to support him, which is also his resource.

  Li Jing hesitated, "It's difficult to bring them over, we only have technology, no fabric source, and no factory can make it work." However, he suddenly understood the meaning behind Anan's words, "You have the technology?"

  An nodded, "I'm more interested in this area, maybe someday I will." This was the truth. After An arrived in this era, she had been thinking about what she could do and would do in the future, but she had yet to find her goal.

  But today, she realized that she likes the feeling of wearing new clothes on her body even more than seeing others wear them with a satisfied smile. An feels that if in the future, people like the clothes she designs, it will be a very fulfilling thing.

  At least, so far, this is An's only interest besides studying. It's like she's walking alone in a vast wilderness and just when she's about to lose her goal, a small sapling suddenly appears in front of her. What An needs to do is to nurture this little sapling, let it grow into a towering tree. Maybe one day, when the sapling becomes a towering tree, she will abandon this towering tree and look for another small sapling to continue challenging new things.

  The three people present didn't think An'an was bragging at all, and An'an also used her actions to tell them whether she was bragging or not. She directly dipped her index finger into the water cup brought by the waiter and drew a rough outline of a dress on the table with just a few strokes.

  It's a waist-gathered dress, at first glance it looks similar to the previous red polka dot one, but in fact improvements have been made to the neckline and waistline, making it eye-catching.

  Not only Li Jingyue, an insider, but also Lu Yan and Xu Chengcheng, two outsiders, think that if this kind of clothing is made, it will definitely trigger another wave of buying frenzy.

  Lu Yan looked into An An's eyes, and saw a ripple of waves. Every time he thought he already understood this little girl well enough, she would surprise him again with her cleverness.

  According to what he knew, Anan had grown up in Taoyuan County since childhood and could be said to have never left the county. However, she just came to Shanghai for a spin and stayed in the ready-to-wear store for half a day. She already had strange ideas in her mind, and judging from her appearance, it seemed that she was determined to turn these ideas into reality.

  The smile on his face deepened a little, and he suddenly felt that he had dug up a small treasure.

  Because it was summer, the air was very hot, and Anan's simple drawing on the table quickly seeped into the wooden table. Just as it was about to disappear, Li Jingyue's face, which had been changing unpredictably, suddenly showed great determination. He asked, "Speak your mind!" If there wasn't something already thought out, Anan wouldn't have sought him out so hastily to discuss this matter.

  An An's idea was simple, "You open a clothing store, your own clothing store, but I want to be the second boss inside!", reopening a clothing store in Shanghai is not that easy, just look at Li Jingyue's current one, he has to rely on the big tree of the garment factory to enjoy the cool breeze.

  Nowadays, if you want to open a store alone, it's like snatching food from the tiger's mouth in front of a clothing factory. It can be said that most of Shanghai's ready-to-wear clothes come from clothing factories, and some people with general conditions will choose to buy some fabrics and make them themselves at home.

  Or to put it another way, people with better conditions look down on the finished clothes made by garment factories and will find those hundred-year-old tailor shops that specialize in custom-made clothes. Of course, the cost of this type is also high, but it cannot be denied that the profit here is absolutely huge.

  Does Li Jingyue have no ambition? No! Of course, he does, but the current environment has tied him down, and he can only rely on his current job to make a living. If there was a store that belonged solely to him, without being restricted by anyone else.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin was so excited that he almost jumped out. An's words seemed to help him get out of his current predicament and even find a new way out. He asked, "What should I do?"

  An nodded and shrugged, saying "You have connections, a source of fabric, and are particularly familiar with Shanghai. The only thing you're missing is technique." This was the truth - the old tailor and two apprentices at the clothing factory were basically the factory's treasures. Every time they made ordinary garments, the output was the largest, and they were sold to various places all over the country, mostly work clothes for workers.

  Another type is the kind of clothing sold by Li Jingyue's department store, which has fewer designs and quantities that can't keep up with work clothes, but sells surprisingly well.

  They were all the kind of things that people would rush to get, and seeing Li Jingyue was even more excited. An An pointed to his own head and continued, "I can give you the technique, but I won't make clothes myself, on the condition that you find an old tailor."

  An An has a great advantage, and in later generations, she doesn't even know how many hundreds of styles of clothes she's seen. Coming to this era, the things she knows in her mind are her advantages. Shanghai is already a pioneering city, and buying clothes tickets is very rare. In two years, cities like Taishan County, which rely on the big mountains, will also follow this trend.

  Clothing, food, shelter and transportation, the first is clothing. Anan knows better than anyone else that there is a growth space inside, and if they occupy the first opportunity, they will usher in the best era, which is also an era of picking up money everywhere.
