Although he agreed to Lu Linqing's proposal, Liu Jian met with Li Mingxin first.
Li Mingxin is in his forties when he is in the prime of life. He has experience and drive. This is the time when he looks forward to making contributions. He has worked in Edinburgh Clothing for many years. One is that he has an idea about the current salary and position, and the other is Lixin Garment's platform attracted him.
Therefore, when meeting Liu Jian, Li Mingxin was very active and enthusiastic.
During this period of time, Liu Jian actually begged his grandfather to tell his mother to beg someone, and suddenly he met a person who was very respectful and enthusiastic to him, and felt a little happy for no reason.
"Manager Li, I have read your resume and I know your ability. Now I mainly want to hear your suggestions on the future development of Lixin Garment. You also know that Lixin Garment is separating the crocodile shirts. Finally, we are faced with the big dilemma of lack of brand." After Liu Jian finished speaking, he stared at Li Mingxin closely, wanting to see what kind of method he had.
Li Mingxin nodded and said: "Mr. Liu, after Manager Lu talked with me, I have been thinking about this matter. Lixin Garment has decades of experience in garment production, and also does OEM for many international brands. In fact, this is a waste of resources. With the production capacity of Lai Sun Garment, it is completely possible to create a world-class brand. And with all due respect, after Huaxia joined, Hong Kong’s OEM has no advantage over the Mainland .”
Liu Jian nodded in agreement and said, "That's for sure. The cheap labor in the Mainland will soon become the processing factory of the whole world!"
Li Mingxin said: "The image that Mr. Liu said is the world's processing factory. Therefore, under this situation, our advantages will disappear. Once we lose the OEM and our own brand, Lixin Garment will be in danger. We will face difficulties. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to rebuild a ready-to-wear brand. In my opinion, although the orthodox clothing of suits has high profits, under the new market conditions, it has become less and less popular. It’s for today’s clientele. If nothing else, casual wear will be the star of the market.”
Liu Jian's eyes lit up. After Li Mingxin talked for a long time, he finally realized that Li Mingxin had hit the point.
"I have been in the mainland market for many years, and I have a good understanding of the changes in the mainland market. In the mainland market, formal occasions are the same as in Hong Kong. Suits and leather shoes, but with the improvement of the economy in recent years, casual wear has become more and more popular. Young people are welcome. I think that if Lixin Garment wants to develop, it must abandon the traditional suit and enter the casual wear market. Of course, it is not completely giving up, but the difficulty of creating a brand new brand in the casual wear market. It is lower than the suit market, and more profitable, after all, the style, color, and level of updating of casual wear are far higher than suits." Li Mingxin said.
"You mean to focus on the casual wear market?" Liu Jian asked.
Li Mingxin said: "Yes, my idea is to focus on the casual wear market. Whether it is business casual wear or home casual wear, there is a huge market prospect. I have sufficient confidence in this aspect. Of course, we will hire several Fashion designers with international influence, come to redesign our style and build our brand."
Liu Jian nodded. In his previous life, he felt deeply about this. When he first started working, he mainly wore suits, and the work clothes were still made of suits. With the development of the times, people no longer wear them so formally. But if you wear serious clothes, it is easy to think of insurance, car sales, house sales and other industries. According to Li Mingxin's thinking, there is no problem.
However, creating a brand new brand of casual wear is not so easy to create. In his previous life, Liu Jian was a slut, he just knew about Rimba, Septwolves, etc. If he could create such a brand, he would not do anything. A good choice.
"Can Lixin Garments adapt to such a transformation?" Liu Jian asked worriedly.
He also wanted to use Lixin Garment to make money. With such a sudden move, Liu Jian would be worried about the situation after the stock was listed.
Li Mingxin said: "Of course this can't be done in one step, it needs to be done little by little. I have a series of plans. To tell the truth, Mr. Liu, I mentioned this plan when I was in Edinburgh Company, but they didn't pay attention to it." .This is one of the reasons why I want to change jobs.”
Li Mingxin said it so frankly that Liu Jian's favor for him increased a lot.
"They didn't approve it. Now it seems to be their loss. I am very optimistic about your plan, but the specific method, Manager Li does not, it should be said that President Li will come up with a more detailed plan for me." Liu Jian said.
Li Mingxin said excitedly: "So Mr. Liu, you plan to hire me!"
Liu Jian said with a smile: "Such a passionate manager is exactly what we need for Lixin Garment, which is starting again. But I want to remind Mr. Li that the company's listing is more important now. No matter what you want to do, you can do it." Don't affect the company's plan to go public."
Li Mingxin said happily: "Mr. Liu, I understand. Also, I have some staff in Attenborough Clothing?"
"Bring me here, it doesn't matter. I know that doing things depends on people. There is nothing embarrassing about having your own confidants. If there is a problem of breach of contract, I will let the company's lawyer come forward to talk, and the designer you mentioned, if If you have a good candidate, you can contact Manager Lu, they are doing this, and if you don’t want to bother the two masters, let Manager Lu and the others do it.” Liu Jian said.
Li Mingxin said: "Understood, Mr. Liu!"
After signing the work contract, after Li Mingxin left, Lu Linqing asked, "Mr. Liu, are you satisfied with this candidate?"
Liu Jian nodded and said, "He is a suitable talent! It seems that you are paying attention!"
Hearing this comment, Lu Linqing's mood improved a lot. This person's reputation may not be great enough, but in their company's opinion, he is currently the most suitable general manager of Lixin Garment, which is also why they can't find a world-class one. about talent.
After all, people like Thomas can only be hired if they have the right time, place, and people. The time given by Liu Jian is too short, and their company can only look for them in the talent pool in Hong Kong. Li Mingxin is the best they can find. It fits.
Liu Jian thought about it, three companies, three different ways of doing things, Bole headhunting is to find the most suitable one under the existing resources. Intel headhunters intend to create a sensation in the industry, not only for the Liu Group, but also for the reputation of their own company. And Bonway headhunters are pursuing the maximization of the company's interests. When they are looking for people for themselves, they are also contacting other companies. As for whether the right people can come to work in the Liu Group, they don't care. They bring their own benefits.
From this point of view, Bonway headhunting was eliminated without any objection. Although it was all for profit, at least the other two companies put their own requirements first, but Bonway headhunting did not.
Intel headhunters also have selfish intentions, but their work is very meticulous and the database is very complete. This can be seen from the fact that all the beauties they send are all beauties who meet them. People who will change jobs, they are well prepared, so it is not surprising that they were able to recruit Thomas.
Looking at it now, it is the Bole headhunter who is the slowest in handling things, but the most responsible. They have found a suitable talent for themselves. They may not be famous enough, but they are capable enough to take on the job.
But their disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the market is mainly concentrated in Hong Kong and the mainland.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Jian made a decision. If he is looking for top talents in the future, he should contact Intel headhunters. If he is looking for middle-level leaders or general managers, he should contact Bole headhunters. As for Bonwe headhunters, he can go wherever he likes. where to go. Don't think that they found Liang Naipeng for themselves, it was just a means for them to do business, and it was not themselves who convinced Liang Naipeng in the end, they just served as an introduction from the beginning to the end. As for Zhou Songping, it was the same. If he hadn't been impressed by his own idea, this person would have been poached by Changjiang Industrial.
After Liu Jian figured this out, he made a decision to ask Dou Yuqing to record the results of this cooperation.
Although the Bonway headhunting company, which helped the most this time, is suspected of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, Liu Jian is also a selfish person. There is no doubt that he will choose whoever treats me well.
Liu Jian has now discovered that he can't remember many things in his head alone, and they still fall on the pen, and he can just look over them when he uses them in the future.
