Chapter 846: Shocking
Early the next morning, Lin Ran drove straight to Yongtai Jewelry Store.
He was not in a hurry to talk about his sister, but asked in a subtle way: "Xiaoyong, what do you do after get off work every day?"
When Lin Ran suddenly asked, Xiao Yong didn't react.
He looked up at the window and thought for a while: "Just reading books and newspapers, and occasionally going fishing."
Then, he looked at Lin Ran with some confusion, wondering why he asked like this?
But then I thought about it, Lin Ran was a busy person, and he had to deal with matters for multiple companies, so there should be no reason to get off work.
Does he mean that he hopes to continue working overtime and preferably live in the company?
Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoyong said: "I understand, I will devote more time to company affairs in the future, and I will make sure that the Antai Jewelry brand will be reborn as soon as possible."
Lin Ran picked up a fashion magazine from the bookshelf and asked, "I think you have done a good job and you should have your own rest time."
What he is holding is the latest issue of "Fashion Bari". The cover shows a foreign model wearing a specially customized agate bracelet and a necklace known as the Heart of the Ocean hanging around his neck.
He walked to Lin Ran with a smile and said, "Actually, we are already working on the research and development of key products. You are so sharp. You immediately saw the bracelets and necklaces we were researching."
"Well, it's good to have new products. Now is an era when material life is gradually getting better. The more novel the product, the easier it is to be recognized by people. But remember not to be too ahead of the curve and pay attention to people's current aesthetics."
The decorations in foreign fashion magazines are often too exaggerated and are only suitable for catwalks and royal families, not for common people.
The route that Antai Jewelry Store wants to take is mainly to be close to the people, rather than to the upper class.
As for Zhang Zhenqiang, he has no pressure in life anyway, which allows him to develop in the fashion industry.
In the fashion industry, there is a profession called a designer.
In addition to being invited by a legitimate jewelry company to design brands, he spends most of his time in the studio drawing various clothes and decorations that are not suitable for normal occasions.
The purpose is to win awards and build your own brand.
This kind of job is more common in European and American countries, because in developed societies in Europe and the United States in this era, people have less pressure and are willing to invest in their personality.
But for the hard-working and upright Chinese people, simpler decorations are better.
He smiled and said to Qian Xiaoyong, "It seems you have a lot on your mind."
Qian Xiaoyong smiled and said: "Of course, I only need to take care of Antai Jewelry. Unlike you, who is a busy person, dealing with multiple companies."
"Actually, I don't have much control." Lin Ran was a little embarrassed by his praise. He was basically clocking in at Shengshi Craftsmanship, leaving all the company's affairs to Yang Jianlong.
The preparatory work for the auction house has also been completed and is waiting for a reply from Chen Qi in Hong Kong City.
The branches and chefs in France have just started their journey and are not yet on the right track.
It will indeed get busy over time, but now I am still relatively relaxed.
Lin Ran saw that it was almost time, so he sat down and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Qian, are you married?"
"Ah?" Qian Xiaoyong sat upright, thinking that Lin Ran was going to tell him about the jewelry design concept.
I didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a personal question, but it wasn't too much, so I laughed and said: "No, I was busy with the auction house in the past few years. In the past few years, I have focused all my energy on the jewelry store. My children It’s a personal affair and I have no intention of getting involved.”
"That's good." Lin Ran got the answer he wanted and could go back to talk to his sister.
As for the follow-up arrangements, he would just think about it later.
Then, Lin Ran drank all the tea on the coffee table and said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered something else about Shengshi Craftsmanship. I'm going back first. Thank you for the hospitality."
With that said, he quickly left the office without waiting for Qian Xiaoyong to stay.
Sitting on the sofa, Qian Xiaoyong watched him leave in stunned silence. Lin Ran would usually come over and give him key advice.
Today, he didn't seem to say anything, or was it all in the hint just now?
Qian Xiaoyong frowned and began to recall what he had said, "Marriage? Does he want me to focus my jewelry design on married families, or..."
An idea flashed in his mind, he clapped his hands and said, "Haha, Mr. Lin is indeed a business wizard. Now the growth rate of the number of marriages is increasing, and the marriage proposal market is promising!"
After saying that, he immediately stood up and went to the design department, still holding the fashion magazine that Lin Ran had put down in his hand.
On the other side, Lin Ran did not go home directly, but returned to Shengshi Craftsmanship.
His sister had to go to work today, so he was not in a hurry to tell her the news right away.
"Qian Xiaoyong is quite talented, but he is a bit indecisive." Lin Ran sat at his desk and gave instructions on several partner applications submitted.
Completely different from Qian Xiaoyong, Lin Ran would decisively put a cross out and throw aside any partners he disliked.
After all the documents were approved, the assistant was called and asked to be handed over to Master Wu You.
Most of them are about small brands wanting to cooperate with Shengshi Craftsmanship, but there are also some brand-related disputes.
The factory's production capacity has increased, but at the same time, the number of competitors has also begun to increase.
In the capital, no store can compete with Shengshi Craftsmanship, but in some remote cities, the Li Gui brand has appeared.
For example, Shengshi Craftsmanship and Shengshi Craftsmanship are just one word different, but the goods sold there are very different.
Businessmen were quite good at taking advantage of loopholes, and Lin Ran could only sneer at their attempts to gain popularity, but could not do anything to them.
"I'm really good at playing. I didn't expect that one day I would be copied." Lin Ran also didn't expect that their handicraft store had just become famous and was already being targeted.
Based on what Zheng Xueming told him some time ago, handicraft shops have been opened near Tianlexing for several days.
It has not yet become popular, but it is gradually impacting the antique market, so that both Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua felt some crisis.
Lin Ran thinks this is a good thing. Most of the people who buy handicrafts are from the low-end market. They don't have money to buy antiques, so they settle for the next best thing.
But these people's financial difficulties are temporary. Once they develop a hobby of appreciation, they will invest in collecting items when they have money.
After all, China today is a blank slate, with incremental markets everywhere.
While Lin Ran continued to deal with the company's affairs, the two students began to look for their new goals in Liuyunbao City.
Their project is not just about handing in research results, but also matching them with corresponding equipment.
