A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

"It will probably be in about two more months."

Zhang Zhaoxing pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Wow, that's fast." Hu Dahai couldn't help but exclaim to himself.

He nodded to Zhang Zhaoxing, whose face was full of bitterness, and said, "I understand. I will make the necessary preparations."

Zhang Zhaoxing hasn't been in a good mood lately either. The food factory is gone, and he, as the factory director, is about to lose his job. Directors of various state-owned factories throughout Hangzhou are all feeling the pressure of impending doom.

After all, what will happen to these factory directors when the factories are gradually restructured? It is said that there are two options for them: one is to let them start their own businesses, and the other is that if they obey orders from above, they may be sent to the remaining state-owned factories to work as workshop directors.

However, anyone who has ever been a factory manager would absolutely not want this second option.

After all, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Having been a factory director and experienced what it means to have authority over everyone in the factory, how could one possibly be willing to be someone else's subordinate?

So, like many factory managers, Zhang Zhaoxing has been worried about this matter lately and hasn't been able to sleep well at night.

When he heard Hu Dahai say that he would make preparations, he didn't take it seriously and said goodbye to Hu Dahai before leaving.

After returning to the Qunyi Brigade, Hu Dahai frowned. Two months had passed, and his time was running out. How could he earn more money?

It's unclear whether two months will be enough for his Haiya women's clothing, off-season vegetables, and wood ear mushrooms to bring him sufficient profits.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Huang Liang has been working hard on the Haiya women's clothing franchise.

After the Ningcheng Haiya Women's Clothing Store became a hit, Haiya Women's Clothing quickly became a best-selling item in the province.

Many people are spreading the name of Haiya Women's Clothing everywhere.

Therefore, quite a few people approached Huang Liang and proactively requested to open franchise stores. People in various cities who were well-informed flocked to him after hearing the news.

Following Hu Dahai's instructions, Huang Liang conducted a rigorous screening of these individuals.

Some people may seem very enthusiastic, but if they lack sufficient ability, they will be eliminated.

Some people who are unwilling to meet their strict requirements will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Moreover, their profit-sharing ratio is uniformly 20/80, no longer 50/50. It's like using other people's shops and other people's money for decoration; Haiya Women's Wear only provides clothing, but takes 80% of the profits.

These franchise conditions are undeniably stringent, yet even so, many people still flock to them with their own shops.

After rigorous screening, Huang Liang successfully opened a Haiya Women's Clothing store in every city in the province within just one month.

For a time, Haiya Women's Wear's sales speed was extremely astonishing, even Yu Ting at the garment factory was a little overwhelmed.

She originally thought that the clothes she made for Huang Yunya and the others would be enough for Hu Dahai and his team to sell for a long time, because the clothing factory's warehouse was full of them.

If Yu Ting hadn't been a long-time employee of the garment factory, they probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to stockpile goods. Of course, to make the garment factory more compliant, Yu Ting had no choice but to pay some storage fees before the factory stopped complaining.

But she never expected that Hu Dahai and his team would consume most of the warehouse's inventory in just a few weeks.

At this rate, she'll have to speed up clothing production.

So Yu Ting found Huang Yunya and Hu Dahai and said, "How come your clothes are selling so fast!"

"Mom, we've opened several stores in the province now, one in every city. How could we not be growing fast?" Huang Yunya said with a smile.

She's been feeling very accomplished lately, seeing her clothes sold in many places and seeing so many people wearing the clothes they made, she's overjoyed.

"Should I slow down the pace of developing new styles and focus on producing the older models? Otherwise, you won't be able to sell enough," Yu Ting suggested.

"When I came here, I calculated that the clothes in the warehouse are only enough for you to sell for another ten days or so. As for the new clothes, we should have stocked up for a month by now."

"But you don't sell new styles, so the new clothes you've stockpiled are useless. Why don't you just stop the production and development of new styles for now?"

After hearing this, Huang Yunya also felt that it made some sense.

However, she didn't chime in, but instead turned to look at Hu Dahai, wanting to know what he meant.

Hu Dahai did not answer immediately, but pondered for a long time.

This decision will determine the future direction of Haiya Women's Wear for a long time to come. He had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Yu Ting, asking, "I want to ask, if other clothing factories buy our clothes and try to copy them, how long would it take them to be able to replicate them?"

Yu Ting chuckled: "You've come to the right person. I thought about this the very first day I helped you with your delivery."

At that time, Yu Ting was also worried that their clothes might be copied. As a clothing manufacturer, they often encountered this situation, so she had made plans for Hu Dahai and the others well in advance.

"I estimate that it would take them at least 40 days to make these clothes that are close to the real thing, and they will look very similar. However, some of these clothes require skill, and some things are easy to get wrong. So if they are not done properly, they will cause problems after washing."

"So I think they probably won't be able to copy it so quickly, and even if they do, they'll likely encounter some problems."

As Yu Ting spoke, she began to analyze the details.

Hu Dahai and Huang Yunya listened carefully to Yu Ting's analysis.

To be honest, what Yu Ting said actually makes some sense.

Hu Dahai nodded in agreement: "That's right. If they make imitations, you can really fall for it if you're not careful."

"Right?" Yu Ting was quite proud, feeling a sense of accomplishment that she was still very useful.

"So, should we continue producing clothes according to the previous styles and designs?" Yu Ting felt that since others might not be able to imitate them well, they should vigorously promote the previous styles.

However, Hu Dahai shook his head after hearing this.

"No, we can continue to focus on producing new styles for now, and then start producing the old styles after a while. It's not too late."

"what?"

Huang Yunya and Yu Ting both exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
