Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

The train was very crowded with people coming and going. It took Gu Chun and his party a long time to get to the carriage.

Because this was a long-distance trip, requiring more than ten hours of train ride, the factory assigned them sleeper berths. For safety reasons, people traveling with them were arranged in the same carriage.

Gu Chun's seat was on the lower bunk, and Gu Zhenzhu was on the upper bunk.

Gu Zhenzhu was very excited as soon as she got in the car, and she didn't feel reluctant to leave her parents at all.

This was her first time taking a train, and she was going to attend a large-scale event like the Canton Fair, so how could she not be excited.

Her eyes were so bright that Gu Chun even found it funny. This girl's temperament was indeed relatively simple.

After the train started, Director Bao invited his colleagues to come over to chat and eat, and explained their safety issues during this period.

"When we go to Guangzhou this time, we have to go together and don't leave the group without authorization. We have time left to visit Guangzhou, but don't buy too much, otherwise you won't be able to take it with you."

“Also, the review will be stricter this time, so don’t bring contraband to the venue.

We will provide an interpreter when we get there, so don't be too surprised when you see foreigners.

Communicate normally and try to sell as many of our clothes as possible. I heard that the team with the highest transaction volume at this exhibition will receive a national bonus. "

A colleague laughed: "Can we still get bonuses? It's unlikely. The garment factories in Jiang Province are bigger than ours, and they also have more foreign trade orders."

"Hey, you are encouraging other people's ambitions, do you know? Our Beicheng Garment Factory is also a big factory."

"But we have very few garments for export, that is, the batch we made last spring, and no one else has as much experience as us."

Gu Chun shook his head: "More experience doesn't mean you can sell more. Trading depends on the quality of the product."

"Little comrade, do you mean that your products are better than those of our Jiangzhou Garment Factory? Huh, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

Gu Chun turned around and saw a bald, greasy-looking uncle wearing a suit and tie, looking at her with a mocking expression.

She tilted her head: "Who are you? What does it have to do with you that I'm chatting with my colleagues?"

The bald man approached: "Who am I? I am the director of the production department of Jiangsu Garment Factory. How dare you, a small employee, be so rude."

"Oh, you're from Jiang Province Garment Factory. That's none of my business. You're not my leader."

"You, you, this is her leader, right? You don't take good care of your subordinates. Are the people in your Beicheng Garment Factory like this?"

Director Bao originally wanted to talk about Gu Chun in a more tactful way, but he didn't expect that the other party came to stir up trouble first.

"Haha, what's wrong with our Beicheng Garment Factory? We're just communicating with our colleagues. You came over and stepped in. Do you still blame others for not giving you face?"

"Hmph, I think you guys are all in the same boat. I still think that I am a peer, here to give you guidance. Our Jiangzhou Garment Factory takes first place every year. This is your first year to participate in the Canton Fair. You really don't know how to live or die. ,"

Gu Chun sneered: "That doesn't require your guidance. Although we are participating in the first year, we are confident in our costumes. With a friendly communication mentality, we will not point fingers at our peers."

"The little girl is quite eloquent. I want to see what grades you can get. If you can sell it for 20 US dollars, I will write my name upside down."

Gu Chun looked at him sideways: "I don't need you to write your name upside down. If we can sell it for 20 US dollars, your Jiang Province Garment Factory will openly admit in the People's Daily that our clothing is better than yours."

"Then if you can't do 20, you should not come to the Canton Fair next year."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the Jiang Province Garment Factory wanted to cover his mouth. It would be too much to prevent people from participating in the exhibition.

Gu Chun shook his head: "That won't work. I can't decide whether to participate next year. At most, if we can't do 20, we will admit in the newspaper that we are not as good as you."

The bald man chuckled: "Okay, that's it. I want to see how your face will be when I step on you."

"Each each other."

The bald man left again with his colleagues who were hesitant to speak.

Director Bao looked at Gu Chun: "Are you so confident?"

Gu Chun shrugged: "I didn't say in any newspaper that it couldn't be reached, I just published it in Guangdong Daily."

"Also, I am really confident that at US$20, according to our pricing, a product can be achieved by selling several thousand units."

"Thousands of pieces, it's easy for you to say, what if no one buys it."

Gu Chun smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade Bao, you have to have confidence in what we produce ourselves, and we can't be so pessimistic."

Director Bao smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's do our best, even if we can't reach 20, as long as there are orders."

In Gu Chun's previous life, as a designer for a top clothing company, neither his colleagues nor himself could sell a single design for only a few thousand pieces.

Although domestic purchasing power is not high now, foreign countries were very rich at this time. Her designs are more fashionable than those currently on the domestic market, so I can’t believe they don’t sell for less than 20.

After sleeping all night, they felt the temperature rising. By then they had arrived at Guangzhou Railway Station.

As soon as they left the station, the humid air hit their faces. It was very cold when they came from Beicheng, and the cotton-padded jackets they all wore were too hot to take off now.

They took the letter of introduction and checked into the hotel first. There was no such high-end guest house in Beicheng.

Each room is equipped with a bathroom with shower and air conditioning in the room.

Gu Chun and Gu Zhenzhu lived in a double room. As soon as he entered the room, Gu Chun felt like he had traveled back in time. Although this room was not as good as the hotels of later generations, the decoration and appliances were already very advanced.

After putting down her things, she told Gu Zhenzhu first.

"Zhuzhu, we still have time this afternoon. We can go out for a walk. You can go out and follow me later. Don't wander around. You're not familiar with this place. I can't understand what people here are saying. Don't lose you. .”

Gu Zhenzhu nodded: "Yeah! Sister, I will follow closely."

After packing their things, the group of them gathered downstairs and went shopping together.

This year's Canton Fair was held in a new exhibition hall by Liuhua Lake, and they lived nearby. After going out, they went to the outside of the exhibition hall to take a look. Now the inspections are stricter, and they are not allowed to enter or exit at will.

Walking on the street, the weather here is very warm, and the trees in the south are evergreen, giving people a sense of natural vitality.

This is a city that has been open to foreign trade since ancient times, so they entered the department store and saw many novel objects. Gu Chun finally bought Xiaozhu's baby bottle.

Gu Zhenzhu was already attracted by those new things and looked around intently.

People were coming and going in the department store, even foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

Gu Chun even saw some common sports brand clothing in later generations, so he took Gu Zhenzhu over to listen to the salesperson's introduction.

It may be that they received training during the exhibition, but the salesperson's service attitude was very good. She introduced:

"This is a foreign brand participating in the exhibition this year. Take a look at these clothes. They are of good quality and look good. They are comfortable to wear and suitable for sports and leisure."

Gu Chun saw several styles that are still on sale in later generations, such as sports polo shirts with zippers. The price is relatively expensive, a piece of clothing costs 10 yuan. She bought one for Gu Xia as a birthday gift this year.
