Not long after Song Yunqi left, Tong Wanyu came back with a group of more than a dozen young boys and girls.

They were standing in the backyard of Caiyunxuan headquarters.

There is a sense of restraint and timidity on the young faces, but their dark and bright eyes are full of expectations and yearning for life.

Qi Liang's brows were tightly furrowed.

Tong Wanyu is kind-hearted and wants to support her brother and do good deeds, which he can understand.

But he found it hard to accept mixing charity with business and making it difficult to distinguish between them.

He frowned, pursed his lips, and said nothing, but his eyes showed disapproval.

"Please invite our tailor out. He is the worker I hired for them." Tong Wanyu said enthusiastically.

Qi Liang sighed lightly and couldn't help shaking his head.

Even Qi Xu was a little unsure, and he waved at Tong Wanyu.

Tong Wanyu immediately ran to his side happily, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid these kids haven't even held a pair of scissors or a needle and thread. You want them to make clothes?" Qi Xu pulled the corner of his mouth, "Thank you for supporting me, but this..."

Tong Wanyu patted Qi Xu's shoulder generously.

"Don't worry, I'm not only here to support you, but also to find them a job and to improve our work efficiency."

"Boss Qi, don't be impatient. Since you've given me the opportunity, just let me prove it to the end."

Qi Liang didn't say anything, just nodded with a frown.

Considering that Miss Tong is the princess’ best friend... let her act up for a while.

All the tailors from the head office were invited out.

Tong Wanyu immediately asked them how many steps it took to make a piece of clothing.

"You have to draw the pattern first, cut it, line it, sew it..."

As the tailors talked, they looked at the "little workers" that Tong Wanyu brought back for them.

Looking at this group of young children with their childish faces, bleached clothes, and skinny bodies.

They also shook their heads and sighed. Some expressed sympathy, but even more so, they were pessimistic.

How is it possible to train a mature apprentice without a year or two?

"Come, let me divide you into groups. The five of you will learn how to draw from Master. Just learn how to draw. You don't have to do anything else."

"You five are learning tailoring, and you only do this one thing."

"You guys are learning how to put on the lining..."

Tong Wanyu broke down the work of making a piece of clothing into extremely small steps.

A small worker is only responsible for one of the steps and does not need to worry about the others.

"What is a skilled craftsman? Nothing more, just practice!"

Tong Wanyu shook her head and said, "Just one thing, repeat it ten times, twenty times, a hundred times... If you still can't do it well, it's either laziness or you are really not suitable."

"Just do this small step, repeat it twenty or fifty times a day? You'll become a skilled worker in two or three days."

Everyone in the yard looked at Tong Wanyu in amazement.

Can you still... do this?

"Oh, yes. We also need to appoint a quality inspector. The inspector will be responsible for checking whether the quality of a piece of clothing is up to standard. If it is not up to standard, the higher-ups will be held accountable."

"Which step makes the mistake? The person who made the mistake should be held accountable."

Tong Wanyu looked at the people in the yard who were all stunned by what they heard.

She explained it to them more carefully.

Qi Liang was indeed a well-informed man, and he had completely understood it by now.

"Very good!" He rubbed his hands, his eyes enthusiastic.

In this way, not only can the young workers get started faster, but they can also become "experienced workers" faster.

There is no need to worry about "teaching the apprentice and starving the master", let alone worrying about them learning the skills and leaving their old employer.

Because they only learned one skill, and after leaving here, they won't even be able to sew a piece of clothing independently.

If one person is only responsible for one task, his speed will definitely increase.

Practice means constantly repetitively honing your skills.

The look in Qi Liang's eyes when he looked at the little girl Tong Wanyu became different.

Tong Wanyu was still explaining to the workers.

"Once you can get the hang of it, you will be paid by the piece. For example, five pieces will cost one penny. That is to say, if you draw a line and draw five pieces, you will get one penny."

The young man's eyes widened. "If I draw fifty pieces..."

He counted on his fingers.

Tong Wanyu smiled and said, "Ten cents."

The boy's eyes lit up. "This isn't difficult. I can learn it and get better at it. At worst, I can just trace it! I can trace my master's handwriting! I'm sure I can do it well."

The other children gradually understood as well.

It turns out that what they wanted to learn was not such a difficult thing as making a good piece of clothing.

It is just one of the steps in making clothes.

Even with a tiny step, they looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

"Thank you, miss!"

"Miss, you really have a kind heart!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely study hard and work hard, and will not embarrass you or cause you any trouble."

“When we can’t do it well, we just do it slowly and never waste fabric!”

The young men seemed to have realized that the shopkeeper Qi did not think highly of them.

It was this young lady who supported them and wanted to find them a job that could support themselves and make money.

Qi Liang was already doing the math in his mind.

A small worker is only responsible for one step, and is paid one penny for completing five or ten pieces.

On average, the wages for a ready-made garment are not much, and are even less than what a skilled worker earns for making a garment!

It turns out that it can both improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Qi Liang was secretly happy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all.

His brows were still furrowed, as if he was quite skeptical about the skills and patience of these young men.

He called the tailors from the head office to come forward and discussed with them how to split the steps and how to divide the work and coordinate.

They discussed it for a moment, and the tailors understood.

In the future, they can teach apprentices with confidence, without worrying about their apprentices stealing their skills, and at the same time, they can let their apprentices keep improving on a single step.

Not only can they relax a little, but they also don't have to worry about compromising quality and reducing their income.

Who wouldn't want to do this?

The tailors immediately went to choose apprentices for themselves with a smile on their faces.

After the tailors assigned tasks to these workers, they gave them some old cloth and let them try their hand at it.

Although it was cheap old cloth, it was a good thing that could not be spoiled for these children from poor families.

It also gives them the opportunity to stay and work to earn money.

Every child studies hard and works carefully.

In just half a day, they had learned it quite well.

The tailors even discussed breaking down the steps into smaller pieces to make them easier to follow.

The efficiency of making clothes was greatly improved, and even the quality was better.

On an assembly line, if a worker upstream or downstream fails to get paid for a piece of work because his or her work is unsatisfactory, it is not just one person’s time and energy that is wasted.

They instinctively demand more of themselves and do things more seriously.

Half a day later, Qi Liang looked at their finished product and nodded secretly.

He has decided to extend this method to every semicolon under his control.

Moreover, it seems that Tong Wanyu's method can be applied not only to tailoring, but also to every repetitive work that can be divided!

She said what is this method called?

Assembly line work method?

It is quite vivid, a set of combined movements is like flowing water, continuous, fast and efficient.

Qi Xu and his brother have different focuses.

He looked carefully at the workmanship and effect of the cotton jacket.

"Good quality, well-cut, tight stitching, even the flowers are well-cut and well-sewn."

"Brother, look at this dress. Isn't it nice?"
