Chapter 357: 268. Full Process Closed Loop_2

This was the kind of change she could not let go of after getting to know Lu Jincheng.

Because it required not only enough money but also enough taste and a sufficient understanding of all the details about women.

Clothing, makeup, accessories, shoes, fashion, coordination...

The boss had been intentionally and unintentionally helping her and also forcing her to become someone else.

Or perhaps to find her true self.

Sometimes, she couldn’t even believe that she could become so exquisite and beautiful.

However, she felt that everything else about Lu Jincheng was good.

Only in terms of dressing and taste, he treated her as if she were a Barbie doll, liking to dress her up meticulously.

But she had to admit,

Although the boss was autocratic, irrational, had a disorderly personal life, and lacked patience with his subordinates, a total scumbag,

At least he didn’t treat those close to him badly.

Whether in terms of monetary income or appearance and temperament, serving as Lu Jincheng’s assistant, she was improving at an astonishing pace.

She could secretly complain about Mr. Lu’s philandering in his love life and question his ruthless handling of some personal affairs, but she could never hate that Mr. Lu had changed her.

This exquisite and charming self.

Sometimes, she even doubted why she was so determined to work with Mr. Lu, not considering even double or triple the salary offered by competitors.

Actually, she also understood.

The most important thing was neither a promising future nor the lure of a doubled salary but not wanting to let go of this version of herself.

Being able to follow a real mogul and absorb knowledge and nourishment like a sponge.

Not everyone could have such an opportunity.

If one day, Lu Jincheng lost interest in guiding her,

Would this radiant version of herself, standing in the center of a crowd and under the flashlights, still belong to her?

He Ying did not know.

Top Han, this delicate table meal, did not outwardly show its value, yet it had a shockingly high consumer standard.

Especially since it was member-only, ordinary people would not visit it.

But since following Mr. Lu, she felt her taste had elevated.

She had arrived ten minutes early, surveyed the surroundings, and after a thorough look, went out to welcome the guests.

The decor was simple yet elegant and noble, the bar had specifically used rough stone materials, initially appearing coarse, they were actually imported raw stones from Australia.

The several modernist oil paintings hanging on the wall were frameless, bare canvases, slightly accentuated by small, cold spotlights, likely all originals.

Even the wine glasses were imported goods, reflecting a shine under the corridor lights that ordinary glasses did not possess, intentionally crafted with a faceted edge at the rim to enhance visual effects.

Everything here adhered to a return to simplicity and authenticity.

...

As an assistant and driver, she didn’t need to drink alcohol.

Although it wouldn’t harm her body, after finishing this meal, it was hardly less stressful than a day at work.

She listened, learned, and took notes as an assistant, ensuring she could immediately implement her boss’s words.

For instance, Lu Jincheng mentioned at the dinner, aiming to build a large textile market in the surrounding area of the High-tech District within the next few years, solving employment problems for over ten thousand people.

Also, how he persuaded everyone and got unanimous support.

Why grant Mr. Lu’s factories various preferential policies?

Why let approvals and regulatory reviews related to the factory pass without obstacles, giving a green light to everything?

This meal was just an attitude.

Ultimately, it was because of Mr. Lu’s personal charm.

At eighteen, he started from scratch and easily made his first pot of gold in the internet sector.

Such a young person, conducting business effectively and naturally, as if born with a convincing power.

Moreover, he unabashedly shared his plans and the core competitiveness of his factory with those present.

Mr. Lu reviewed the major strongholds of China’s textile industry, Yangcheng’s clothing manufacturing industry spreading across various districts, and Hang City’s supply chain also well-known nationwide.

Each region has its own distinction.

For example, the women’s clothing in Yangcheng was of relatively higher quality, an important supplier to the wholesale markets like Thirteen Hongs and cross-border e-commerce.

The Yangtze River Delta was known for its huge volume and low production costs in apparel manufacturing.

When Lu Jincheng talked about his plans, he stated that the core competitiveness lay in pushing the garment production speed to the extreme in the future.

"If a dress sparks heated discussion in the news, it will be on the market the next day, and it is almost certain that it came from a garment factory in the East Lake High-tech District."

"That’s the effect I want to achieve."

Mr. Lu not only spoke impressively but also supported his claims with data and case studies, which everyone found intriguing.

He explained that a stall finding a garment factory for an order of 10,000 pieces would normally have to schedule with the factory and delivery would take about a month.

But in his factory, this timeframe could be compressed to within ten days.

Efficiency was his utmost principle.

The reason was simple.

He understood trends and the future.

In the future, he wouldn’t need to bear the inventory risk of the factory; once he had control over the supply chain, he wouldn’t produce large quantities for each order.

Most would be controlled at dozens or hundreds of pieces, preferring to produce small batches of different styles first to observe market feedback.

If a style was popular, they would quickly reorder to maximize profits.

This was what Lu Jincheng called the "small batch, quick-return" model.

For example, if a top influencer like Fairy Miao recommended a piece of clothing during a live broadcast, the orders from the platform’s live room would range from hundreds to thousands of pieces.

These orders would be produced in about a day to meet the e-commerce platform’s rule of 48-hour delivery.

Thus, while the live broadcast was still going on, the staff would already start connecting with the pattern-making stalls and ordering fabric from the major fabric market.

Once the factory was notified, electronic versions of the pattern papers and materials could be delivered within an hour.

In the morning, the manager would quickly recruit garment workers at the hiring square, starting work at 9 AM and finishing sewing the clothes by 11 PM.

Then, they quickly recruited back-end workers responsible for trimming threads, ironing, hanging tags, and packaging.

Before dawn, all the clothes were finished and shipped.

This was the terrifying full-process closed-loop production.

Furthermore, after the dinner, He Ying was assigned a new task.

Before her business trip to Hang City, she was to set up a task to find an authoritative influencer to launch the first "JK Uniform Design Contest" on Weibo.

The contest would be decided by audience votes to determine the finalists.

While it seemed that the manufacturers relinquished the choice of drafts, they actually created a new avenue for receiving drafts while attracting traffic, which in some way maximized benefits.

Mr. Lu seemed to always have creative ideas anywhere, anytime.

By turning the anticipated skirt drafts of "potential consumers" into actual products, Tanhua Customization would then expand its promotion, increasing the new skirt’s popularity and naturally producing a hit product.

Most importantly, this contest would further promote originality and combat counterfeits.

Combined with the court case in Hang City, they could almost effortlessly boost publicity by riding on this momentum.

He Ying was accustomed to these two-birds-one-stone strategies.

"Mr. Lu, there’s something I’m not sure about..."

The business car drove smoothly, and He Ying’s voice broke the silence.

"Hmm?"

The man pretending to be asleep opened his eyes.

"From Hang City to Shanghai City, it takes about an hour by high-speed train, and over two hours by car. How will you arrange your concert schedule?"

She was soon to head out with the boss.

Of course, she wouldn’t attend the concert; it was a personal issue and He Ying didn’t want to inquire.

But as a competent assistant, she had to ask.

What if he had grown accustomed to handing things off, assuming she would arrange everything, and it affected their plans?

"You’ve thought this through."

"Contact Xie Yujia and have her prepare a car for me in Hang City," Lu Jincheng considered and then said.

"Okay."

He Ying responded with a smile.
