Chapter 226 Cannot Compare
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xin took out the stolen design blueprint from her sleeve and placed it on the car seat.
Liu Xin couldn't quite understand the lines drawn on this blueprint. After all, it was just a very simple design drawing, with no coloring or embellishments, just an initial idea.
Moreover, because the design was for Hanfu, it was somewhat complicated. At first glance, it resembled a skirted garment.
Naturally, Liu Xin couldn't understand it. She quickly took a photo with her phone and sent it to Yang Long.
At this time, Yang Long was in the design department of the Yang family's garment factory.
The garment factory was the core business of the Yang family. After returning from studying abroad, Yang Long's first act was to marry Liu Xin, and his second act was to take over the garment factory, which was considered the Yang family's formal declaration of him as the heir.
After taking charge of such a core business, as long as no major mistakes occurred, he would gradually take over all other businesses of the Yang family within a few years, eventually becoming the patriarch.
The Yang family's Red Sun Garment Factory placed great importance on this garment design competition, mobilizing all their connections and making every effort to win first place.
As an established prominent family in Qingzhou City, the Yang family had a wide network of connections and was well-informed.
They had already learned that this joint garment design competition organized by six cities would offer the first-place winner exposure in the tens of millions.
Moreover, the judges invited to this competition were all national and international renowned designers with exceptionally sharp eyes.
However, to ensure the fairness of the competition, the list of judges had not been revealed in advance.
Most importantly, Yang Long knew very well that if they could win first place this time, the on-site signing orders would be at least 300,000 pieces.
This was because many companies had already partnered with the organizers of this design competition, and these companies would purchase clothing from their company.
For example, airlines would purchase uniforms for their flight attendants, large catering companies would purchase uniforms for all their employees, and some high-end brand clubs would also purchase uniform clothing for their staff and even customers.
These order volumes were enormous.
All opportunities lay in this garment design competition; winning first place would bring everything.
Yang Long understood that as long as he improved the performance of the garment factory, his position in the Yang family would be completely secured.
Yang Long was engrossed in discussions with the staff of the garment factory's design department.
He had actually started preparing half a month ago, and now, by various means, Yang Long's garment design department had obtained over three hundred design blueprints.
What he needed to do now was to select the ten most outstanding design blueprints from these three hundred excellent ones to enter the competition.
Just then, Yang Long's phone chimed.
Yang Long opened WeChat; it was a photo of a stolen design blueprint sent by his wife.
He enlarged the photo and took just one look, and Yang Long's expression changed drastically. His eyes were fixed on the phone, his teeth clenched, and his fists balled up.
Although Yang Long wasn't a particularly outstanding designer, he had indeed studied design during his years abroad and possessed basic appreciation skills.
Therefore, with just one glance, Yang Long knew that this design blueprint had completely surpassed the more than three hundred blueprints from his garment design department.
Yang Long's voice trembled. He placed his phone in the center and asked the surrounding designers, "Everyone, come and take a look at this design blueprint. What are your thoughts?"
More than a dozen male and female designers nearby walked over and glanced at the photo. Following that, expressions of surprise, joy, jealousy, and admiration appeared on everyone's faces simultaneously.
A woman exclaimed excitedly, "This... this should be in the style of Hanfu, right? I've never seen a skirt like this in Hanfu style before. Oh my god! How did this designer think of this?"
"She has completely liberated the connection between Hanfu and modern skirts and qipaos. If this design blueprint were made into reality, it would be incredible! How beautiful would it be!"
Another man said in disbelief, "This designer is an absolute genius. If this Hanfu designed by her is actually produced, it will definitely be a hit."
Another person flattered, "Young Master Yang, you are truly capable! So you had a secret weapon hidden all along? Why don't you quickly introduce us to such an excellent designer?"
Everyone else smiled and flattered Yang Long, "Yes, yes, Boss Yang is indeed a man of hidden talents. Oh, so you've been hiding such an excellent designer all this time? What are we still struggling to compare for? This design blueprint of hers is clearly better than ours!"
"It's obviously much better. Although this design blueprint is in the Hanfu style, I feel that when it's made, it won't look out of place to wear. We can also produce it."
The designers around them expressed their surrender.
Hearing these words, Yang Long's face turned even more furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Enough, stop talking. This designer is not one of ours. My wife accidentally took a photo of this blueprint and sent it to me to compare. This design is also going to participate in the competition, so she is our opponent."
The other designers in the office gasped, and their fighting spirit instantly vanished.
Yang Long's face was also pale. He paced back and forth, frowning, "This shouldn't be! Such a design blueprint couldn't have been created in such a short time. How many days in advance did that woman Liu Ran prepare?"
"She is truly a master of hiding her talents. I used to think she was just playing with cosmetics, but I didn't expect her to extend her reach into the garment industry. It's infuriating!"
At this moment, a rather old designer frowned and said, "Colleagues, there's no need to belittle ourselves. In fact, based on my twenty years of experience in Qingzhou City, the designs we have created so far are absolutely not inferior."
"If we carefully select ten from them, they will definitely be top-notch. Even if we can't get first place, we can definitely secure a top three position. I can guarantee this with my twenty years of experience and my reputation."
"As for this design blueprint that Boss Yang later showed us, it is indeed incomparable. The main reason is that this designer likely has a lot of intuition, and she might have only entered the garment industry a few days ago, which is why I didn't know."
"And as everyone can see, many of her ideas have broken through our conventional thinking. So, she should be a newcomer to the garment industry from another field."
"Incomparable is incomparable, but I believe that at most, this single design blueprint represents her extent of experience. Other design blueprints are likely only at the same level as our factory's!"
Hearing this, Yang Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "Teacher Qin is right. Everyone, don't be discouraged or belittle yourselves. You continue selecting. As for this company, I will handle it."
Yang Long picked up his phone and strode out of the company, heading directly to find Liu Xin and the members of the Liu family.
