In order to find a better designer, Liu Jianguo went to Guangzhou again.
At that time, the factory would produce whatever the boss said.
There was no concept of a designer at all.
In the 1980s, everyone's cultural level was not high. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to find a suitable designer in the mainland.
Liu Jianguo thought about it carefully.
The rise of designers also started in Hong Kong.
The factory was still in its infancy. If they went to find a well-known fashion designer directly, it would not be beneficial to the development of the company.
Instead, it increased the risk of the company.
Especially for a small-scale factory like Liu Jianguo's, it was still unknown whether they would be willing to come.
Liu Jianguo thought about it.
I decided to go to Hong Kong first to understand the designers and clothing factories there.
In the 1980s, it was still very troublesome to go to Hong Kong. Every time, he had to go through many checkpoints and layers of inspection. For this reason, Liu Jianguo specially went to apply for a Hong Kong travel pass.
If Yang Cheng was the leader of the country's fashion trends, then Hong Kong was the leader of the world's fashion trends.
As expected, it was much livelier than what was shown on television.
Take the clothes they wore for example. Anyone on the street would be able to find the most cutting-edge and fashionable clothes in the city.
Tall buildings could be seen everywhere, like a steel forest.
The narrow streets were filled with densely packed shop archways, tangled overhead wires, and plastic water pipes everywhere.
Almost every household here had a television and radio. At that time, the residents of Hong Kong had already started watching TV shows every night.
The spread of information in Hong Kong was vividly displayed.
Liu Jianguo realized that it was not easy to find a famous designer.
Fashion Week, catwalks, and fashion shows had yet to begin, and the concept of a designer had yet to be truly highlighted.
It would be a waste of time and energy to go to the designer.
After asking around, he found out that there was already a recruitment agency in Hong Kong.
They can help you recruit talents according to the employer's requirements.
Liu Jianguo found a relatively large local recruitment company.
"Hello, what kind of recruitment information do you need us to help you publish?”
"I need to recruit a fashion designer apprentice. He only needs to come to the mainland three times a month. The salary is calculated according to the piece.”
"Did we hear wrongly? You only want the designer's disciple with such generous conditions! What is your request?"
"To be able to design independently and be in line with the trend!”
"Any other requests?"
The recruitment company could not believe that this person from the mainland could offer such a high salary.
This was the first time he had heard of designing clothes by the piece!
"Your conditions are too attractive. I believe that you will soon find someone that will satisfy you.”
"I hope so."
The efficiency of Hong Kong was indeed extraordinary.
She had just gone to the recruitment company in the morning.
It was only noon, but she had already received a call from the recruitment company.
There were already more than 20 people who met the requirements and submitted their resumes.
Liu Jianguo was required to take a look and arrange a simple interview.
Liu Jianguo looked at their resumes carefully. Most of them had experience working with famous designers, some had returned from studying in America, and some had just gone for an internship for a few months.
However, with the recruitment company, they narrowed down the scope.
They had already recommended the best candidates to Liu Jianguo.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar name, Tony.”
She remembered that this person later became the chief designer of Beauty Fashion Week.
His design had caused quite a stir in the country and even around the world.
William was Tony's chief disciple and had followed Tony for two years.
It was surprising that the status of designers was still very low back then.
No wonder so many people sent their resumes.
Liu Jianguo decided to take him.
However, since he was here, he still had to meet her.
"I heard that you own a clothing factory in Beijing. Do you need a fashion designer?”William was a little excited. He did not expect to get an interview so soon.
"Yes!"
"So you're saying that I don't have to stay on the continent all the time and that I only need to go there three times a month?”
"Yes, in the beginning, you may need to go a little more. After you are familiar with the process, you can directly design the style in Hong Kong and bring it over to us for production!”
William was very satisfied. This meant that he could work two jobs a month.
It could also increase his income.
Tony's monthly salary was a few thousand, and his apprentice William was basically a few hundred.
"Alright, when can you come to work?”
"Anytime!"
William felt like he was dreaming. He did not expect that the mainland would start looking for designers.
"Thank you for your trust, boss. I will definitely apply the knowledge I learned from Teacher Tony to fashion design. I will also give you the most loyal advice on materials and styles according to the trends in Hong Kong!”
"I'll leave the fashion design of our factory to you. I hope that under your design, you can lead the trend of the entire city and even Guangzhou.”
William nodded confidently.
Liu Jianguo signed the contract with William on the spot.
After settling the matter with the designer, he felt extremely happy.
The clothing factory could finally start work as scheduled.
