[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Compared with the laid-back bachelorettes, Jane's toy design can only start after the housework is done. When Elizabeth is writing in the small living room, Jane is next door with Lydia.When Jane is drawing or writing settings, Lydia is reading, writing, drawing, or embroidering... Lydia has a very good sense of color, and she is very good at color matching. Jane occasionally consults when designing toy colors Check out her opinion.

Jane has designed several sustainable development toys according to age and gender. For example, the toys for girls are mainly dolls, but they are not popular human dolls, but cute animals.

Jane believes that Londoners who are made gloomy by the continuous drizzle cannot refuse healing toys. These dolls include cats and dogs, sheep and bears, rabbits and lions, some are fluffy, some are soft, some are round , some are slender and long, some are lying on their stomachs, some are sitting... and the colors are very pink, the kind that makes you want to hug you tightly when you see them.

These dolls are just testing the waters. Their characteristics and styles are completely different. If they don’t sell well, they will be gradually eliminated. If they sell well, derivative products and even stories can be developed.

Boys’ toys are mainly soldier figures, which are very popular among boys. Currently, the materials of soldier figures on the market are mainly wood and tin, about the size of a palm, and soldiers representing different countries wear different military uniforms.The production is exquisite, and of course the price is not cheap. Those who can raise an army for their children are definitely rich people.

Jane has a unique approach. Plastic has not yet appeared, but there is already rubber. Jane’s suggestion is to use the plastic mold method to make small soldiers that are only the size of a finger, which is more realistic and cheaper. One soldier's money can now easily raise two armies

When playing, children can use small flags of different colors to distinguish countries, and specially made senior officers who are highly similar to real people can start wars in different camps.

Apart from these two most malleable toys, of course there are all kinds of other toys. I will not report them one by one. In short, after Jane sent this application letter to Mr. Holmes, he changed the hesitation that Jane applied for the general manager before. After procrastinating and procrastinating, a letter was delivered soon.

In the letter, Mr. Holmes readily stated that he agreed with Jane to join the company as a designer, and signed the contract in the office three days later, and held a small meeting by the way.

The office is not Mr. Raymond's that Jane had been to before. Jane originally thought that since she said she was here for a meeting, there must be a lot of people, but when she arrived, she was the only one.

Jane: =? =

"It was me who moved the time forward by 15 minutes." Mr. Holmes saw Jane's doubts, and he pointed to the plan that Jane had sent him on the table before, "I have read it, the unexpected talent, you are based on your previous plan. This was written in a plan, is this your second plan?"

"No, I didn't think about the second set of plans before, but I think my plan still has merits. Even if you don't let me do it, you can still adopt it, right?" Jane thought Don't be so nervous. In the end, the application letter is just a stepping stone, and the right to choose is not in her hands. "I was too entangled in the management position before, and Mycroft reminded me. In fact, I was just looking for something interesting. Do it, and end up getting too deep into it."

Mr. Holmes nodded. It is convenient to talk to smart people. He took out a contract and gave it to Jane. "Look at this. If there is no problem, you are the toy designer of 'Barabe Toys Company'."

Jane quickly read the contract. The conditions are very generous, and the time is limited to five years. Jane doesn't know why this time is set, but does she think that Mr. Holmes can still play tricks on her?no need.So she signed it readily.

Mr. Holmes took the contract and stuffed it into the drawer without even looking at it. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's almost time, come on, Jane, let me introduce you to your colleagues."

The reception room of Mr. Holmes is very normal, that is, everything that should be there is normal, and it is completely incomparable to a certain stingy old man. Jane secretly complained about a certain fat old man.

There were three persons in the drawing-room waiting with their hats held together. When they saw Mr. Holmes enter, they rose to greet him immediately.

After a brief greeting, Mr. Holmes changed the subject and introduced Jane to the three young people.

"Gentlemen, let me introduce to you. This is Jane Holmes, my son's wife. She will be responsible for the design of some toys and the quality of the products." Mr. Holmes rang the bell. "Everyone, please sit down." .”

The three young men looked at Jane with different expressions.

"This is Mr. Raymond. You met his father a few days ago. Mr. Raymond is in charge of managing our two stores in London." Mr. Holmes introduced the leading young man to Jane, and the corners of Jane's eyebrows twitched. For a moment, so... that's why that old Mr. Raymond hated her as soon as they met?

Mr. Raymond seemed to be unaware of what his father was doing. He extended his hand to Jane politely, "Hi, Mrs. Holmes, I'm Gary Raymond, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Raymond." Jane thought, unaware?Hmph, even if she was killed, she would not believe that the old man Raymond would not remind her son.

Mr. Holmes continued to introduce, "This is Donald Smith, and this is Alan Gehry. The two of them are store managers."

"Hello." Jane nodded without shaking hands.

"Hello, Mrs. Holmes."

"Hello."

The two store managers are much more reserved than Raymond, and they are not the protagonists of today.Today's protagonist is Gary Raymond, who has not been in office for a long time, at least after Jane's "interview", and today is his first report to the big boss, Mr. Holmes.

Jane sat beside Mr. Holmes and listened carefully to Mr. Raymond's narration, as if she didn't realize how many ideas in his work plan were plagiarized from her.

Raymond handed Mr. Holmes the product catalog in the store, and Mr. Holmes flipped through it before passing it to Jane.Jane read it carefully from beginning to end, folded the origami, stuffed it into her pocket, and refused to return it.

Raymond paused, and finally decided to pretend he didn't see the scene.

After listening to Raymond's report, Mr. Holmes thought for a moment, then turned to Jane and asked, "Jane, do you have any comments?",

Jane smiled and replied: "I can't give an opinion, but I have a small suggestion. I noticed that our products mainly focus on novelty toys. I think there may be many children who don't know how to play with these toys. It's better to set up a small place for them to play." The clerk plays with new toys there from time to time. First, it can attract customers, and second, it can also teach customers how to play invisibly.”

After Jane finished speaking, Raymond didn't respond yet, but the eyes of the two store managers behind him lit up, and their faces suddenly realized.

"What do you think? Will it work, Mr. Raymond?" asked Mr. Holmes.

Raymond thought for a few seconds before saying, "I think it's feasible, but the furnishings in the store have to be rearranged."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Raymond. Is it okay to get ready before the opening?" Mr. Holmes asked again.

This time Raymond didn't hesitate anymore, "No problem, sir."

"Then let's come here first today." Mr. Holmes made a clear statement, and Raymond and the two store managers stood up very consciously, said goodbye and left.

After the three of them left, Jane rang the bell and asked someone to put away the teacup and make tea again.

"How do you feel?" Mr. Holmes asked Jane.

"I don't think Mr. Raymond Jr. was your first choice before, Charles. You can see that he is a novice like me. He worked for G&H before. I think his referee is Mr. Raymond Old? "Jane expressed her senses very directly.

Mr. Holmes nodded slightly, "Indeed."

It's a guy who went through the back door like herself, Jane thought, and she said: "But Mr. Smith and Mr. Gary don't look like novices. They should have just been promoted from the buddies. Their reaction is comparable to that of Little Raymond. Mr. De, hurry up." Jane happily put on the eye drops.

Mr. Holmes obviously understood this too, but he said, "That's all right, it's more convenient this way."

Jane thought about it, but it was true. If this little Mr. Raymond was really capable, then what else would she do?

After drinking tea, Mr. Holmes looked at his pocket watch again, and asked Jane: "Do you have anything else to do today?"

Jane didn't understand, so she put down her teacup, "No, no...I don't think so, what's the matter?"

"If you don't have any other appointments, I'd like you to meet someone else, ah, I think he's here."

Just as she was talking, Jane had already heard the footsteps of "tap, tap, tap" in the stairwell, and soon Jane saw this young man.

"This is Alfred Weasley, his house is just behind the church in the town." Mr. Holmes introduced.

The red-haired Weasley was a cheerful and familiar young man, he smiled and said without hesitation, holding his hat, "Mr. Holmes, you said, let's meet in the town, and you specifically asked me to come into the city Oh, the pretty lady, no, ma'am, isn't this Mr. Mycroft's wife? I saw you at Christmas, but you may not remember me. My father is Weasley the watchmaker. Well, clocks and watches are all about that, I like something different, no, Mr. Holmes opened a toy factory in the town, so I went... By the way, why did you ask me to come here, Holmes gentlemen?"

This familiar country style made Jane couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Holmes glared at Weasley, "What about the things I asked you to bring?"

"Here it is." Weasley looked for a place, put the big package in his hand on the coffee table, opened it, and the package was full of toys.

Jane took a glance and recognized that these should be the ones that were about to be sold in the store, so they were carelessly thrown on the coffee table.

The author has something to say: Jane: They all go through the back door, which is not as good as me.
