Chapter 102 Designing Clothes
"Xiao Jiang, how is it? Have you found the information of foreign companies?" Feng Nan asked anxiously.
"President, we have found the information of the foreign investors, but we need to find out whether they have come and where they are staying." Jiang Weimin handed the paper recording the information of the foreign investors to Feng Nan.
"Wei Min, do you have any ideas?" Feng Nan looked at the list of foreign businessmen on the paper and frowned slightly.
"Foreign businessmen may be easier to find. You can go to the largest hotel in Guangzhou and ask whether they have come. For Hong Kong businessmen, you can only ask each hotel one by one."
"Since the museum still has a few days to open, let's go look for a hotel. Once we find it, we'll go and visit," Yun Zhou suggested.
"Okay, Brother Yun, let's go to the two largest hotels, Guangzhou Hotel and Dongfang Hotel, this afternoon."
"Xiao Jiang, isn't it against regulations for us to go directly to the hotel to meet with foreign businessmen?" Feng Nan asked worriedly.
Yun Zhou heard this and said, "President, the rules don't say that we are not allowed to visit foreign businessmen!"
Jiang Weimin was also stunned when he heard Feng Nan's words. In this era, one cannot do anything too outrageous.
He quickly said, "Boss, you and Brother Yun should not go. If a leader finds out that this is against the rules,
I can paint anywhere, but you might affect my work."
"Brother Jiang, I'd better go with you! This way I can take care of you."
“Brother Yun, no need, it’s better to be cautious during this period.
I have a way out. If all else fails, I can go to Shanghai to find my master. If all else fails, I can join the army.
"Brother Yun, you have to support a whole family!" Jiang Weimin comforted Yun Zhou.
Yun Zhou was very surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Weimin had so many escape routes.
I was amazed that Jiang Weimin not only had a father who was a commander, but also had such a high talent for painting.
He patted Jiang Weimin on the shoulder silently to express his understanding and support.
Feng Nan sighed helplessly, feeling somewhat worried, and could only nod and say, "Okay, Xiao Jiang, thank you for your hard work! Be sure to pay attention to safety, and contact us in time if you encounter any problems."
At this time, Director Liu from Qingdao No. 3 Printing and Dyeing Factory came over and was amazed when he saw the poster drawn by Jiang Weimin: "Xiao Jiang, your painting is so good!"
"Director Liu, we are all doing this to improve the display effect and publicity of our comic book booth."
Director Liu's eyes lit up, and he said to Jiang Weimin, "Xiao Jiang, please draw a picture for us, and write in English as well."
"Director Liu, don't you all have brochures?"
Director Liu quickly explained: "But it's not as good as yours."
Jiang Weimin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea.
“Of course you can, but you have to put our comic strips in your booth.
And your sales staff should actively recommend our comic books when others ask about it."
After hearing this, Director Liu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, you are asking for too much."
Jiang Weimin insisted: "Not much, not much, wait until I finish the painting and you see the effect first!"
Director Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Then you draw first!"
Jiang Weimin said calmly, "Wait a moment, let me see what kind of cloth you have. I will design the character's clothes according to the style of your cloth."
"You need to use our cloth to design clothes for the characters in the painting."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
After saying that, he walked around the exhibition hall of the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory. Looking at these patterns with a sense of the times, Jiang Weimin's mind was spinning rapidly.
Then Jiang Weimin took the drawing board and started painting in front of a crowd of people.
Jiang Weimin painted a foreign woman who was not particularly pretty, but with the clothing designed by Jiang Weimin, the woman who originally did not look particularly outstanding appeared to be particularly intellectual.
As Jiang Weimin finished applying the colors, the people around him exclaimed in surprise.
"This is so pretty."
Director Liu stuttered, "Xiao Jiang, this is a piece of clothing drawn with our fabric. It's incredible."
"Director Liu, can our comic strips be displayed at your booth?"
"Yes, you can. Xiao Li, Xiao Song, the two of you go and move the comic book albums, and then arrange them in the exhibition hall and put them in a prominent position."
Then Director Liu turned to look at Jiang Weimin and said, "Xiao Jiang, do you think this is okay?"
"Sure. Director Liu is open and honest in his work."
"Xiao Jiang! Don't you think it's a bit monotonous and asymmetrical to put only this one here? And you only have two paintings there."
"Director Liu, it doesn't look monotonous to me!"
"Xiao Jiang, good things come in pairs, double happiness."
Jiang Weimin immediately blurted out “a huge crowd of people”.
Seeing this, Feng Nan also said, "There is no second price in the market."
Yun Zhou also wanted to respond, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't think of any words to respond, so he scratched his head.
"Well... I really can't think of the right words to follow up for a while."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
"What are you doing? Stop chatting now. We'll have plenty of time to play on the train when we get back."
Xiao Jiang, please come to our booth and design another piece of clothing for us!"
Jiang Weimin looked at him in surprise: "Director Liu, you really are a veteran. You have a unique vision!"
Director Liu laughed proudly: "Hehe, after all, I have been a purchasing agent for so many years, how can I not have a good eye!"
Jiang Weimin nodded: "Okay, then I'll draw another one for you, but I have a condition!"
"What conditions? Just tell me!" Director Liu agreed without hesitation.
“No photography was allowed for the two paintings I made.
If someone wants to buy one of these paintings, they must first place an order of 50.
And pay a design fee of 5 US dollars. In addition, this 5 US dollars design fee must be paid to our Qingdao Publishing House."
After hearing this, Director Liu agreed without thinking: "Okay, no problem! But, Xiao Jiang, why don't you allow us to take pictures?"
Jiang Weimin sighed helplessly: "Just think about it, if someone takes pictures of the clothes I designed,
Then we have to buy cloth from other places to make it. Can we still receive orders?
Where will my design fee come from? So, in order to protect our interests, we have to do this!"
"Yes, Xiao Li, Xiao Song, did you two hear that? No taking pictures. Make sure you watch carefully for me." Director Liu reminded them worriedly.
"Director, we can't handle it all!" Xiao Li was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'll transfer two more people to look after it. You two should also keep an eye on it." Director Liu said as he prepared to arrange for other people to come and help.
At this moment, Jiang Weimin had already started painting another picture.
Fortunately, Feng Nan found enough paper for him to give full play to his creativity.
The painting still depicts a woman who is not particularly beautiful, but through Jiang Weimin's clever design, she shows a unique charm and becomes more confident and calm when wearing the clothes designed by Jiang Weimin.
When Jiang Weimin finished the painting, Director Liu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
At this time, Xiao Song and Xiao Li looked at Jiang Weimin with eyes full of admiration.
The reason why these two of them stand out from the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory is not only because of their beautiful looks, but more importantly, because of their excellent working abilities.
However, now facing Jiang Weimin's eloquent talk and painting talent, everyone can't help but be attracted by him.
The two turned around and asked Yun Zhou curiously, "Brother Yun, how old is Comrade Jiang Weimin? He should not be married yet, right?"
Yun Zhou was slightly stunned. "Brother Jiang, he is not even 16 years old yet!"
When they heard that Jiang Weimin was not yet 16 years old, they started to talk quietly: "He is so young! But Comrade Jiang Weimin is so talented!"
"What's wrong with being young? A woman three years older than her husband is a treasure. As long as Comrade Jiang Weimin is interested, I can wait."
"Haha, you are so shameless."
"Comrade Jiang Weimin has taken a liking to you, will you wait?"
"Wait! Why not wait!"
Yun Zhou looked at the two beautiful girls talking and laughing, and glanced at Jiang Weimin from time to time. He felt that he was not keeping up with the times.
