Chapter 11 Destiny

The brochure that Zhang Chengwang read was made of very kind material and the workmanship was quite exquisite.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the model Chen Shengnan above.

The entire photo shoot, including the brochure design, was done by Chen Can himself.

Most of the models photographed by photographers in this era have the feeling of looking at calendar girls, either looking at their breasts or their faces.

They have no idea what the model's personality and characteristics are.

The characteristic of Chen Shengnan is not her face, but her overall capable temperament. It is that temperament that Chen Can wants.

The full-page brochure, with 28 pictures, almost perfectly displays everything from the body shape to the catwalk.

Every picture is full of artistry, which makes people’s eyes shine!

At the same time, beside the picture, there is also copywriting written by Chen Can himself. Chen Can was so arrogant that he named the designer Owen.

This designer named Owen used European and American clothing concepts to introduce two styles that lead the fashion trend.

The full-page brochure has the feeling of watching a fashion blockbuster from later generations. In this era, few foreign fashion magazines have entered the country. This kind of high-end introduction and model pictures are unique.

Zhang Chengwang was indeed attracted by this brochure, and he didn't even notice that customers came to the store.

He didn't wake up until the girl at the stall patted his shoulder.

When he looked up, he saw two customers, a man and a woman, coming into the store.

Only then did Zhang Chengwang remember that he had raised his legs and quickly put them down in embarrassment.

He stood up with an ouch, put the brochure on the table, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, hello, what styles do you need?"

The two people who came did not answer Zhang Chengwang's words, but looked at the styles in the store with some disgust.

Although Zhang Chengwang has not been in the clothing industry for a long time, he has been in business since the early 1980s. After so many years in business, he still has a certain way of looking at people.

He knew right away that this business deal was probably dead, as the other party didn't like the style of his shop.

This is normal. Most of the styles in his shop are low-end goods. They are basically roadside stalls or some small shops selling goods.

It's not the early 1980s anymore. The era of bell-bottom pants and toad glasses has long passed. Nowadays, with more and more wealthy people, many people are beginning to pursue higher quality clothing.

It’s just that the current domestic clothing is basically low-end clothing, and the real high-end brand clothing is basically all foreign products.

This man and woman look like a couple. They are dressed in very high-end clothes. From Zhang Chengwang's perspective, he knows that they are not ordinary small traders.

Sure enough, as Zhang Chengwang guessed, the couple just casually looked around the store and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Chengwang lost all thought and simply continued to pick up the brochure, then moved towards the rocking chair behind him and prepared to cross his legs.

Maybe I was overweight. As I lay down, the rocking chair creaked and broke into two pieces.

Zhang Chengwang uttered an ouch and suddenly fell down. The brochure he had not yet grasped firmly in his hand immediately snapped and was thrown far away.

This startled several people in the store, and the couple who had just walked to the door also turned around.

A brochure also happened to roll at the feet of the couple.

Sometimes, it's hard to explain destiny clearly, and Chen Can would never have thought that just in this moment, his first business would be completed.

Moreover, the couple also became Chen Dabo Factory's biggest customers in the future.

Zhang Chengwang also didn't expect that this old man would suddenly get a deal after a fall.

Wang Fen and his wife were buyers from Yanjing, and it was their first time to visit Thirteenth Line. Unexpectedly, the weather was not kind and it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Just to avoid the rain, I casually walked into a small wholesale stall. They used to be agents for a foreign clothing brand, and they definitely didn't like the stuff from Zhang Chengwang's store.

But she never expected that a brochure rolled down at her feet. On the opened brochure, the model wearing a belted windbreaker, with her heroic demeanor, attracted Wang Fen at first sight.

Wang Fen's family has some connections. In 1985, she signed a five-year agency contract with a foreign clothing brand. Their stores are located in major shopping malls in Yanjing, and their business has been good.

In the past five years, they have also made their first pot of gold by representing this brand.

But in a profitable business, there is no shortage of competitors. She only signed a five-year contract with the other brand, and the contract just expired this year.

The brand also directly informed her that it was not planning to renew the contract.

Later she found out that she had been cut off.

Unfortunately, the relationship became even more difficult, so Wang Fen finally admitted it through gritted teeth.

But Wang Fen, who has been working in clothing sales for five years, is naturally a little unwilling now.

A few days ago, I heard from a friend that the clothing industry here in Yangcheng has grown in size, with clothing of various qualities available.

So Wang Fen decided to come and take a look at the situation. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence.

Chen Shengnan's business trip was finally completed, and the company also informed her that she must go back tomorrow.

After having a meal at Chen Dabo's factory and finally sending Chen Shengnan away, they returned to the factory.

After ten days, the factory was still the same as before, and it still hadn't received a single order.

Today is already the 19th day of Chen Can's rebirth. He has spent nearly 30,000 yuan so far, and his future is still bleak.

Chen Dabo looked even more languid and unshaven. He had not been out for the past two days and had been sulking in the factory.

He was naturally sulking at Chen Can. His original heroic ambitions had now ended dismally, and he was naturally angry.

Chen Can smiles every day and is not discouraged at all.

He is still drawing pictures, he has not changed his plan at all, and his time is still very tight.

He believed in his own vision, and even more believed in the brochure that he personally designed.

The reason why there is no business yet, Chen Can believes, is that everything is gathering momentum.

I only have eighty-two days, and I must complete all my plans before then.

Chen Can was still immersed in drawing, while Chen Dabo, who was in the kitchen next door, bit open a bottle of beer and drank half of it.

He had not drank for a long time since he opened this factory. At that time, Chen Dabo really wanted to change his mind and do a great job!

However, things went against his wishes. Now he has invested all his wealth, including his own sister, who invested 8,000 yuan. But now that he is in this situation, he feels miserable and bored!

As soon as the anger in his heart was released, he completely lost his self-control. At this moment, he just wanted to be like before, get drunk and relieve all his worries!

Zhang Xiulan, who was busy having lunch, was shocked when she heard the sound of opening a beer bottle.

When she turned around, she saw that Chen Dabo had already downed a large bottle of beer, and she immediately shouted angrily.

"What are you doing? Haven't you given up drinking? Xiao Wu said that no one is allowed to drink in the factory during work!"

When Chen Dabo heard the name Xiao Wu, he immediately felt resentful in his heart and scolded loudly.

"Don't mention him to me! Who is he?"

Chen Dabo's character is like this. Once he has a grudge against someone, he will be very talkative.

It's fine now, but in a few decades, when he drinks, he will like to curse, and he will scold the people in his life who have problems with him from beginning to end, and he will not be able to get rid of his anger for decades!

Although Zhang Xiulan's current personality is very dull, she does not have the mentality of accepting her fate like that of later generations. When she heard Chen Dabo's words that were not conducive to unity, she immediately cursed angrily.

"What are you talking about? After drinking a few glasses of horse urine, you started to go crazy again, right? The factory has just opened, and you are like this. Who will dare to work in partnership with you in the future?"

At this moment, Chen Dabo was filled with resentment in his heart. Everything he heard was sarcastic, and his resentment grew even stronger. He slapped his hand on the table, making a clanging sound.

Chen Can, who was drawing pictures next door, finally heard the sound. He frowned and stood up, striding toward the kitchen.

As a father and son for more than thirty years, he knew his father's character very well, so he immediately got up and walked into the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Chen Dabo had already bitten open the second bottle of beer and drank a whole bottle of beer in front of him.

Maybe he drank too fast, Chen Dabo's face turned red and his eyes were a little blurry.

Chen Can frowned and looked at Chen Dabo, still thinking about how to speak.

Having dealt with this father for so many years, he knew very well that if he said the wrong thing at this time, it would lead to a big explosion.

He was silent for several seconds, and finally decided to take away the box of beer from under his feet, and then talk to the other party.

Chen Can stepped forward, squatted down, and went to move the beer.

When Chen Dabo saw this, without saying a word, he stood up and pushed Chen Can, and started to say some unpleasant words!

Seeing this, Zhang Xiulan quickly came over to start a fight.

Chen Can gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Dabo.

In his previous life, he had experienced this kind of scene eighty times if not a hundred times. The relationship between father and son had reached an irreconcilable level.

Now that it happened again, Chen Can also felt a surge of anger rushing into his head.

Chen Dabo's brain is a little different from ordinary people. When he is drinking, it is useless for you to reason with him. He will only deal with people according to his own way of thinking.

This is why Chen Can plans to move the beer away first. Chen Dabo, who has just drank two bottles now, should be considered a normal person!

Chen Can actually inherited some of Chen Dabo's way of thinking. When the truth doesn't make sense, he just creates trouble!

This kind of character is also a flaw in Chen Can's character. Unfortunately, the genes are already there and it is difficult to change.
