Chapter 61 Design Department
Outside the industrial building.
The paparazzi was already waiting for them.
The roads inside are very winding.
It was Li Wanhua's first time here, and she was carefully observing her surroundings, trying to remember the way. Wu Tianyao found her serious little expression amusing.
The magazine office space is not large, and most of the space is occupied by various odds and ends, making the desks very cramped.
The greasy-haired, middle-aged man immediately stood up to greet them as they entered.
A stack of manuscript paper lay in front of him, and the ashtray was stuffed full of cigarette butts.
"Brother Yao, this is Liu Zihao, my only layout designer." Gouzai Jun quickly introduced, "Don't let his appearance fool you, he's very capable. These are his two assistants."
"Hao used to be in charge of designing fan packaging and product design for Liu Axiong's fan factory, but he was betrayed by his ex-wife."
"His ex-wife stole his design drawings and sold them to competitors, which caused him to have a scandal in the industry for selling trade secrets. As a result, no one dared to hire him anymore, and he ended up working for me."
After a brief explanation from Gouza Jun, Wu Tianyao basically understood what was going on; it was just one of the simple and straightforward business tactics.
"Wu Tianyao".
"Brother Yao!"
The two shook hands.
Liu Zihao's fingers were small and long, much thinner than those of an adult male, and the nails of the heavy smoker were stained yellow.
He hurriedly grabbed the Liangyou cigarettes from the table; they were already empty.
"Take mine."
Wu Tianyao took out cigarettes and his gaze fell on the blueprints in front of him.
"Brother Yao, about my matter..." Liu Zihao looked at Wu Tianyao with some concern.
"I don't stick to any particular style of personnel management. Here, we always let merit speak for itself. Let's not bring up your past anymore." Wu Tianyao exhaled a puff of smoke, seemingly unconcerned: "It wasn't a matter of principle, so I don't care. Tell me your thoughts."
This Liu Zihao does have some skills.
Liu Axiong heard that the electric fan business is now quite successful.
To be able to become the head of the design department in his company, one must have some real skills.
Here's my line of thinking.
Liu Zihao breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and immediately got into the zone, no longer as flustered as before: "Since it's instant herbal tea, I chose kraft paper packaging for the outer packaging. It has a good texture and the style matches herbal tea."
"We made it into a square box with a zipper closure, and printed our herbal tea logo and design on the outer packaging, so it wouldn't look monotonous."
"I thought about printing pictures of herbal tea on it, but I felt it was too boring and lacked appeal, so I decided to keep it simple."
Liu Zihao handed over his manuscript: "This is roughly it, Yao-ge, take a look."
Wu Tianyao glanced at the sketch.
Liu Zihao's direction is correct, and the appearance and texture are good, but as Liu Zihao said, it always feels a bit too simple and monotonous.
"Hmm..." Liu Zihao nodded upon hearing this, scratching the back of his head: "Then I'll think about it some more."
"No rush, take your time." Wu Tianyao nodded in response. "We also need to control the packaging costs; it's unnecessary to make it too thick."
"I have an idea," Li Wanhua said, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation. Seeing that they were silent, she leaned closer and said, "Since it's instant herbal tea..."
"Could we print the Chinese herbs used to brew the herbal tea on the outer packaging? Whichever flavor it is, we could print those herbs?"
"As for the images, let's design them again and make them into cartoon versions, so that they can reach a wider audience and won't seem monotonous."
"If the result is good, then we can upgrade the packaging materials and add color printing later; these are all possible approaches."
Li Wanhua's words drew everyone's attention to her, making her shrink back somewhat awkwardly.
after all.
She's just an amateur; these people are the professionals.
"I think my sister-in-law's idea is fantastic!" Liu Zihao's eyes lit up. "Making it into cartoon-style line drawings for printing would be low-cost and not monotonous at all!"
Upon hearing the words "elder sister-in-law," Li Wanhua's face instantly flushed crimson, especially her ears, which turned as red as burning clouds.
She's incredibly thin-skinned.
"I also think Wanhua's suggestion is excellent!"
Wu Tianyao increasingly realized that Li Wanhua really had a talent for this: "Here's what we'll do, Wanhua, you can work with them from now on, and just find someone to manage the herbal tea shop in the housing estate."
His mind raced: "Jun, I'm planning to set up a new design department, with an office in the processing workshop. You'll be in charge, and your team will work for me."
The people led by Liu Zihao are definitely capable; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to come up with a plan that satisfied Wu Tianyao so quickly.
He paused for a moment.
Wu Tianyao then looked at Pao Zai Jun: "Let's leave the magazine here for now, and we can restart it whenever we need it, okay?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Gossip Jun immediately nodded, eager to try. Of course he was willing, given the magazine's current state of decline.
"How much is your salary now?" Wu Tianyao asked Liu Zihao.
"1500," Gouza Jun replied somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm not making much money right now, so the salary is a bit low."
"Let's raise it to five thousand first, and then we'll increase it further once the business opens smoothly. We are a legitimate company, and we offer all the benefits, including Mandatory Provident Fund."
Liu Zihao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Two years ago, his salary was already eight thousand yuan, but that was then. His ex-wife ruined his career, and now no one dares to hire him.
Now that he'd actually managed to get back to 5,000, he was incredibly excited: "Don't worry, boss, I'll do my best!"
The remaining two assistants were also full of fighting spirit; with supplies in hand, everyone was naturally motivated.
"Fei Sha, you take charge of this matter."
Wu Tianyao assigned tasks: "You will also be in charge of liaising between Wang Yize's team and the other side. Legal matters must be handled flawlessly."
"Once the finances are all sorted out, just transfer the money to me in one go."
In places like Hong Kong, foreigners are known for their strict enforcement of the law.
After witnessing the business battle between Wang Heting and Lin Xiangnan, Wu Tianyao could see it at a glance.
When two equally matched rivals clash, if the conflict cannot be resolved through violent means such as gang warfare, then it will revert to the essence of business warfare.
and so.
Wu Tianyao is now making special efforts to improve the system in advance, avoiding any potential problems.
after all.
If we do it, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, but we should stop some unnecessary trouble at the source.
It was already dark outside when I came out of the industrial building.
Wu Tianyao drove the car, with Li Wanhua sitting in the passenger seat. The Mazda slowly drove off. It was rush hour, and the traffic was heavy and slow.
original.
Wu Tianyao wanted to buy a new car now that he had some money, but the investment was too large, so he had to wait.
Wu Tianyao turned the radio volume down: "Are you hungry? Let's eat out."
"I'm not hungry." Li Wanhua quickly shook her head. "I'll cook when I get home." As soon as she finished speaking, her flat stomach made a "rumbling" sound.
"Hahaha..."
Wu Tianyao gripped the steering wheel and burst out laughing, making Li Wanhua blush.
He discovered that Lai Wan-wah really blushed easily.
The little girl is too shy and has a thin skin, probably because Li Rui's family education has always been quite strict.
These days, you can find tons of girls out there who are skilled in everything from singing and dancing to playing musical instruments.
It's really rare to see an 18-year-old "older single woman" like Lai Wan-wah who still blushes easily.
"We're not going home to cook; we'll just pack it up and take it home. It'll also be a good opportunity to acknowledge your idea."
Wu Tianyao looked at Li Wanhua: "Another ice-cold beer, please."
"it is good."
Li Wanhua nodded readily: "Just one ice-cold beer, I can't drink more."
Suddenly, Wu Tianyao felt like a wicked uncle trying to trick a child into eating a lollipop.
So be it, I'm a bad uncle.
