Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi turned and walked into the living room, exchanged a few brief greetings with his parents-in-law, and then went straight upstairs.

Behind him, Lin Ruixue followed closely.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, when Zhou Qi returned to the bedroom wearing loose and comfortable pajamas, Lin Ruixue offered to massage his shoulders.

"This is to make up for my apology for not waiting for you just now." She said softly, then sat behind him and began to knead it carefully.

As the two were enjoying this warm moment, Lin Ruixue casually mentioned work: "I heard that the cotton mill has encountered some troubles recently?"

Zhou Qi nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it is facing the risk of bankruptcy..."

Hearing this, Lin Ruixue's hand suddenly paused. This news was difficult for her to accept. After all, that was where she had struggled for many years.

"In fact, you could already see some bad signs when you were still in the factory, but at that time no one realized the crisis was coming, let alone seized the opportunity to carry out necessary reforms."

Zhou Qi turned to Lin Ruixue and said, "After the Spring Festival, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. About half a month ago, the factory began to lay off employees one after another..."

"So many people have lost their livelihoods..." Lin Ruixue just finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, "Could it be that you want to buy this cotton mill?"

Zhou Qi nodded slightly, "I do have this plan, but even if I succeed in taking over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the original employees to continue to stay."

Lin Ruixue understood the meaning of this. Those conservative practices and inefficient working environment were no longer suitable for the needs of the new era.

Since taking over the family clothing business, Lin Ruixue's vision and management skills have improved, and she has her own unique views on how to revitalize a business.

"I understand that you can't make emotional decisions when making business decisions. But how will you plan to proceed? Will you continue with the old path?"

The once-glorious cotton mill was renowned for producing high-quality basic fabrics.

However, in terms of efficiency and innovation, this model is too conservative.

Zhou Qi believes that if new technologies can be introduced, not only can the original advantages be retained, but also the profit margin can be greatly increased and new growth points can be opened up. "Let me make a call."

Zhou Qi took out his phone and immediately contacted his partner Du Qianqian, "There is a project that needs your help to advance."

"Are you serious?" Du Qianqian asked in surprise, "Acquiring a factory is not as simple as buying vegetables! Besides, didn't you just come back from Nanyue? It's only been a few hours."

"It's true that it hasn't been finalized yet, but this is indeed a rare opportunity." Zhou Qi explained:

"One of the plans is to provide raw material support for the 'Wave' brand; more importantly, I hope to develop a series of independent product lines, such as bedding, and sell them directly into our retail network."

Du Qianqian frowned slightly. She looked at Zhou Qi in confusion and wondered in her heart: "Inspur is a clothing brand after all. It seems a bit unrelated to the products you mentioned, right?"

With some curiosity, she asked tentatively: "What exactly do you mean by finished product?"

Zhou Qi's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and he slowly said: "For example, disposable pure cotton shorts. Now everyone's pace of life has accelerated, and the number of people traveling and on business trips has increased day by day, and everyone has the need to wear shorts.

There is no need for fancy designs, just the most common white pure cotton style, ten in a pack, priced at ten yuan, which means each piece only costs one yuan on average. It is easy to carry and clean and hygienic. Such products have huge market potential.”

"Your idea is really unique!" Du Qianqian was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "You actually thought of making disposable panties. It does sound a bit embarrassing at first."

However, after a little thought, she discovered the business opportunity behind it.

"From a cost perspective, the price of one meter of cotton cloth is not high. According to your plan, the profit margin can be greatly increased to ten times the original amount.

More importantly, there are no similar products on the market. If I were in their shoes, I would also be willing to buy something this convenient and practical.”

Seeing that Du Qianqian began to agree with his point of view, Zhou Qi struck while the iron was hot and added: "In fact, in addition to pants, we can also develop more disposable items, such as socks, towels, etc., and combine them into a complete set of travel supplies series."

"It sounds good, but introducing a new production line means a huge capital investment," Du Qianqian said hesitantly.

Zhou Qi seemed to have anticipated her concerns. He smiled and continued, "Don't worry. The production equipment for these products is already very mature in the market and can be purchased directly."

Hearing this, Du Qianqian's eyes lit up and asked, "Any other good ideas?"

"Of course there is." Zhou Qi answered confidently, "That is the pure cotton cleansing towel, which is both economical and can ensure cleanliness, and is very suitable for replacing traditional towels.

Existing towels have many health risks when used for a long time, but our facial cleansing towels are like paper towels, which can be discarded after use, making them more convenient and hygienic. "

After hearing this introduction, Du Qianqian was deeply attracted.

But then she expressed confusion: "But the equipment needed to make facial wipes is not readily available. This is not as simple as buying clothes."

Facing this question, Zhou Qi seemed confident: "I know this is not easy, but this is why I came to you. China is currently unable to independently produce such special equipment, but foreign countries already have mature technology in this regard.

I believe that with your family’s extensive business connections, you will be able to find a suitable solution.”

Du Qianqian shook her head helplessly and sighed: "You are forcing a duck to climb a tree."

"What is the market? It is the place where others do not have and where we are the leader." Zhou Qi said with a teasing smile.

He then encouraged her: "You also want to make some contribution to improving the quality of life. This glorious task is now handed over to you. I have confidence in you. There will be absolutely no problem."

"I look forward to hearing from you." Before Zhou Qi was about to hang up the phone, Du Qianqian interrupted and said, "Wait, this will cost a lot of money."

However, the only response she got was a busy tone from the other end of the phone.

Du Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then angrily threw her phone onto the sofa, muttering, "Really?"

Seeing this, his father Du Bowen came over and asked with concern: "What happened?"

"It's Zhou Qi again. He always teases me like this." Du Qianqian complained, then showed a sweet smile to her father, "Dad, I need your help with something..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhou Qi just hung up the phone and noticed that Lin Ruixue was looking at him thoughtfully, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
