Chapter 623: A Sight to See
Chapter 623: A Sight to See
The factory manager understood everyone's concerns and tried to reassure them, "The factory manager doesn't need to know how to operate a sewing machine. Don't worry, everyone. Cooperate with Comrade Jiang Xia's arrangements and do a good job this time. Let's see if Comrade Jiang Xia can sell the clothes in the warehouse! If she can sell them, you'll get your wages faster, and it will also prove that she has the ability to manage the factory. You won't have to worry about layoffs."
Why had the garment factory closed down?
Because the clothes produced couldn't be sold! When the products can't be sold, the factory has to shut down.
If Jiang Xia can sell the clothes, it will prove that she has some ability, and the factory will have a glimmer of hope.
One of the salespeople in the factory said, "The factory manager is right. Let's see what she can do to sell so many clothes from the warehouse!"
In the past, the factory would deliver the clothes in truckloads to various government offices and supply and marketing cooperatives. Now, they were setting up a stall to sell them piece by piece. How long would it take to sell everything?
He didn't have much faith in Jiang Xia's approach.
Only a few hundred people walked down this street each day.
If they could sell a thousand pieces by the factory gate, it would be a good day!
Perhaps because they had little hope for Jiang Xia, everyone was losing patience.
"Isn't she supposed to sell clothes? We've already brought them out, so why aren't they coming out yet? People are already asking about the prices."
"I don't understand why she wants everyone to change clothes! We're already wearing the factory's clothes, and everyone on the street is dressed the same way. Haven't they seen enough? Do they need to wear more?"
"Exactly! We're already wearing the factory's clothes! They're just a bit old and washed out, but they prove how durable the factory's clothes are. Is it really necessary to change?"
"When a new manager takes over, they always start with three big changes, but this is just... unnecessary", said someone, but then a few "models" walked out, and the speaker's eyes widened. "Of course, it's necessary! Look!"
Was this the same clothing produced by their factory?
Did it look this good when worn?
Everyone's eyes were drawn to Jiang Xia and the others.
It turned out that the clothes they wore every day could look so good, so fashionable!
Everyone looked at one another, but their gazes lingered the longest on Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia looked stunning! Soft and strong at the same time.
In reality, Jiang Xia had only used different undergarments and accessories to add a touch of style to the clothing, and the effect was completely different.
Fashion is all about coordination. A single jacket can look different when paired with different undergarments, creating different styles and effects.
Take Jiang Xia, for example. She wore a chiffon blouse as a base, paired with a green military jacket, and the belt was tied outside the jacket. The jacket's buttons were left open, and she had adjusted the hem to make her waist look particularly slim.
Today, she had chosen a chiffon blouse with a more complex collar and tie design at the neck, adding layers to her outfit.
Despite the formal, strict look of the military jacket, it suddenly had a touch of femininity.
The ruggedness of the military jacket and the softness of the chiffon blouse combined to create a strikingly beautiful look.
In the details, the color of the belt matched the Martin boots, creating a harmonious look from top to bottom.
Combined with Jiang Xia's tall and slender figure, she had chosen a larger, longer jacket, which made her proportions look perfect!
Soft yet strong, beautiful and fierce.
The other "models" also wore the same military jackets, but each had a different undergarment, creating unique and distinct styles and personalities.
They all looked stunning.
No one could find the words to describe how good they looked!
It was different from their usual haphazard way of dressing.
The workers at the factory had grown tired of seeing the same clothes, but these girls brought a fresh twist to them!
Everyone was captivated and couldn't look away!
Jiang Xia saw Tian Caifeng, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Mu approaching and said to the crowd, "Alright, everyone to your posts. Time to start selling!"
Then, Jiang Xia picked up the portable megaphone, walked to the pile of clothes by the door, and began to shout, "Don't miss out, folks! Come and take a look! Factory clearance, big sale! We're selling at a loss! Eight yuan for a set of summer clothes, only for three days, only three days! Clearance sale! Limited stock, first come, first served. Don't miss out!"
Tian Caifeng and Zhou Mu walked over.
They were there to act as customers.
Tian Caifeng pointed at the jacket Jiang Xia was wearing and asked, "Is this jacket eight yuan for a set? Does it come with pants?"
Jiang Xia replied with the megaphone, "This jacket is fifteen yuan for a set, and it comes with pants. The eight-yuan set is for summer clothes, which are a bit thinner. The summer set is eight yuan for a set, including a top and long pants, making it only four yuan per piece, no cloth coupons required, a great deal! Sister-in-law, would you like to buy a set?"
Tian Caifeng immediately said, "I'll take three sets of the clothes you're wearing. These sell for twenty-five yuan a set in the town's supply and marketing cooperative, and they're exactly the same!"
Zhou Mu added, "I'll take two sets too. Fifteen yuan for a set, no coupons needed, where else can you find such a good deal? Are the men's and women's sets both fifteen yuan?"
Jiang Xia responded, "Yes, no difference between men's and women's sets. Summer sets are eight yuan for a set. The thicker spring and autumn sets are fifteen yuan for a set. Winter padded jackets are only twenty yuan each. Look at how thick this jacket is. For such a thick winter jacket, you can't find one for less than thirty yuan in the mall. And the military overcoat, just thirty-six yuan each."
Tian Caifeng said, "I want six padded jackets and one military overcoat!"
Tian Caifeng was there to act as a customer, but she hadn't expected such a great deal! And no cloth coupons needed, so of course, she had to buy a few more.
Tian Caifeng didn't like spending money, but she loved a good bargain even more!
With these clothes being so much cheaper, it felt like a real bargain to her!
She bought a set for everyone in her family. A padded jacket could last for eight to ten years!
Worth it!
The padded jackets of the Zhou brothers were old and stiff, not very warm anymore. Last year's jackets were all bought by Jiang Xia.
Zhou Chengxin said she was reluctant to buy clothes for the children, but now she was buying them!
It was the peak time for people going to work and buying groceries, so many people passed by the factory entrance.
There were many people like Tian Caifeng who were frugal and loved a good deal, so the factory entrance quickly became crowded.
Everyone knew the prices of these clothes outside, after all, they had worn them for so many years. Many people still wore them, just old and faded, and some even had holes.
To save over ten yuan was a real deal, and many couldn't resist buying.
"I'll take two sets of the fifteen-yuan ones and one military overcoat."
"I'll take one padded jacket."
"I'll take one ten-yuan set and two fifteen-yuan sets."
"I'll take one military overcoat and one padded jacket!"
