Wang Jun also noticed the change in Xiao Wu. She was radiating confidence, which was about to burst forth. His gaze was unconsciously drawn to her, so he said seriously, "Around 280 employees!"
Wang Ying rolled her eyes and added bluntly, "Before, with more than 300 workers, it was my brother who suggested to my uncle that some of the lazy ones be laid off, otherwise we would have been unable to continue operating!"
Chen Xihua nodded slightly, then asked, "How many people are on the production line? What are their working hours and benefits?"
“There are less than two hundred people. The rest are in the office, logistics, canteen, warehouse, etc.! Eight hours a day, five days a week. About four hundred and fifty yuan a month!” Wang Ying interrupted her brother Wang Jun and said directly.
Wang Ying opened her own small clothing store and sold clothes. She even set up a street stall at first. She didn't want to work in a factory.
Many of the workers there were just loafing around. She wasn't interested in her position at the No. 2 Garment Factory, but her grandfather and uncle wanted to save it and worked hard to keep it running. They couldn't bear to change the rules and regulations, fearing that the older workers would be disheartened.
Chen Xihua pondered for a moment: "How many sets of clothes, or how many pieces, can a person make in a day?"
"Ten to twelve pieces, actually twenty pieces are all possible. The sewing machines are the most modern and electric ones available right now!" Wang Jun was also aware of the situation at the No. 2 Garment Factory, and he didn't hide anything from him.
"Brother Jun, do you know how much the No. 2 Garment Factory is worth?" Chen Xihua asked again, as if he had just thought of something.
At this moment, Wang Jun frowned, stumped by the question, and paused for a moment. However, after thinking for a while, he made a rough estimate, "Two million! That's about right!"
"Then someone should acquire the No. 2 Garment Factory!" Chen Xihua mentally assessed the No. 2 Garment Factory.
"Yes, we can't agree on the price, and my grandfather has been depressed lately because he knows that the No. 2 Garment Factory might be acquired. He even fell slightly ill! My uncle-in-law doesn't dare to bring it up for now, and the other party's offer is too low!" Wang Ying interrupted her brother again. She sensed that her younger sister wanted to know more.
Chen Xihua smiled and nodded to Wang Ying to express her gratitude, then asked, "If we do contract manufacturing, how much is the processing fee per piece?"
Wang Jun didn't bother guessing Xiao Wu's true intentions and simply replied, "Eight yuan a piece!"
Chen Xihua quickly did the mental calculations: eight yuan per piece for processing, two pieces would be sixteen yuan, plus the cost of the fabric, a set of clothes would cost thirty-four yuan, which was acceptable, and this way she could make money faster, however…
"Brother Jun, I have a basic understanding of the situation! We've known each other for over two years, so I'll tell you my plan!"
"Our Fanghua Apparel Co., Ltd. is planning to open our own branded retail stores in the provincial capital of Southern Province. I wonder if you, Brother Jun, would still be willing to purchase our clothes and sell them in the department store? If you are interested, we would be happy to continue our cooperation!"
"Therefore, the next plan is very important! The first option is that I can have the No. 2 Garment Factory do the processing. The processing fee is not a problem, but it has to be signed on an order-by-order basis, and each order must be completed within a specified time!" After Chen Xihua finished speaking, she looked at the people present, as if they had guessed that she would agree. She then continued.
"The second option is that Fanghua Company's brand and creativity should be worth 200,000 yuan now. I can invest in the No. 2 Garment Factory and take 10% of the factory's production and processing profits."
Besides our own workshops and factories, we will only choose to have our clothing manufactured by Garment Factory No. 2 from now on. However, Garment Factory No. 2 will also prioritize meeting the clothing needs of Fanghua Company.
However, the retail sales of Fanghua Company's brand stores in the later stages were unrelated to the No. 2 Garment Factory! It could be considered a form of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cooperation.
"What about the third one?" Wang Jun asked, a little anxiously, seeing that Xiao Wu had paused. He was sure that Xiao Wu had other plans, because the first two were relatively ordinary and normal, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. One was a binding agreement with greater benefits, while the other was a free agreement that could be terminated at any time!
However, it's still difficult to change the current situation of the No. 2 Garment Factory! Of course, the second option would be better, but once Fanghua Company expands its own workshop, it won't need to outsource processing anymore!
"The third thing is that Fanghua Company will take a complete stake in the No. 2 Garment Factory, including its retail stores. It's basically a merger of the two, but I will hold 60% of the shares, and the No. 2 Garment Factory will hold 40%!"
Chen Xihua noticed that all four people present were looking at her with incredulous eyes.
Wang Jun was even more incredulous, his expression changing slightly. He had thought that Miss Wu had a different mindset, but it turned out he was wrong; she had quite the appetite! "Miss Wu, you want 60%? That's a bit outrageous, this is trying to get something for nothing!"
"Of course, Fanghua Company at present cannot be compared with the two million garment factory, but I can sign a performance-based agreement. If I can double the market value of the merged garment factory to more than four million within a year, would you be willing to follow the third option?"
If we don't meet the requirements, I won't take a single penny of the money I earned this year! The plan will be scrapped, and if we consider cooperating again in the future, it will just be contract manufacturing! Chen Xihua knew that her words would shock others, but she remained calm and composed, her tone confident and collected, while their expressions gradually returned to normal.
"Moreover, if we follow the third plan, the No. 2 Garment Factory will have to do things according to my requirements. I will adjust the entire management rules and regulations of the No. 2 Garment Factory, and the retail stores will also have to follow my plan!"
I can write down the plan today, Jun-ge, you can take it back to the factory manager and decide if it's feasible. If we follow the third plan, we'll officially start at the end of this month, with production and stores operating simultaneously!
Chen Xihua has made a decision: if things go well, she will go to the provincial capital in the next couple of days!
"Four million? Miss Wu, are you sure?" Wang Jun's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He had previously considered how to help his uncle. He could cooperate with others, but both sides had different opinions.
Now he was taken aback by Xiao Wu's extravagant gesture, and once again, his opinion of her changed. It turned out that it was a performance-based agreement, not a scheme to get something for nothing! No, it could be considered a scheme to get something for nothing, but it was a sincere attempt to discuss cooperation! However, her ambition was quite obvious; she wanted the No. 2 Garment Factory.
Grandpa Zhang was only surprised at first, but now he's much calmer.
Sure enough, he wasn't wrong. This young lady had finalized three plans in just half an hour, detailing everything. This final plan was likely her basic positioning for Fanghua Apparel Company, with a minimum investment of several million!
“Okay, Miss Wu, I’ll wait for you for a day, and we’ll go back to the provincial capital tomorrow!” Wang Jun considered for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. He then took the initiative to agree on behalf of his uncle.
"Little Fifth Sister, I want to join you too, is that okay?" Wang Ying was already incredibly excited. Little Fifth Sister was amazing, she wanted to join Fanghua Company too!
"...? Sister Wang, don't you own a clothing store? You can get your stock from us!" Chen Xihua didn't immediately realize there was any difference, because she had been thinking about cooperating with the No. 2 Clothing Factory!
"No, Little Sister Wu, aren't you planning to open your own brand store? You haven't found a suitable candidate yet. You can ask me! I'll volunteer to be the store manager!"
"My current store is a bit small. When I get back, I can help the company find a larger store. I can handle the decoration and everything else!" Wang Ying said, rattling off her thoughts in one breath.
Chen Xihua opened her eyes slightly, caught off guard by Wang Ying's words. She hadn't expected Wang Ying to give up her own store to help her open one. She was a little flattered. Was Wang Ying really that charming? She was surprised!
"You don't look down on me, do you?" Wang Ying asked Chen Xihua pitifully! She had high hopes for Fanghua Company! She didn't need to find clothes to sell well in her small shop!
"How could this be? I can't believe it! Sister Wang, you trust me so much, I'm speechless!" Chen Xihua's eyes crinkled with laughter, finally showing a childlike expression of joy. It was as if some deity had passed by and showered her with good fortune!
She was certain she didn't have any cheat codes; she just had memories from an extra lifetime!
"Little Fifth Sister, will the workshops in the county town continue to operate?" Zhang Xiaolan asked softly, interrupting Chen Xihua's daydreaming.
“Keep going! We still need to open a factory in Gaoyang County!” Chen Xihua answered confidently. If Fanghua Company’s branded clothing could be sold nationwide, how could one factory’s production be enough?
"That's good!" Zhang Xiaolan was relieved, and her slightly tense face slowly relaxed.
"By the way, Sister Xiaolan, starting today, you are the executive manager of Fanghua Company. From now on, Brother Jun and the others can contact Sister Xiaolan directly if they need anything, because I will be starting school soon!" Chen Xihua solemnly announced her arrangements for Sister Xiaolan!
"Okay, no problem!" Wang Jun then remembered that Xiao Wu was still a student, and the person who had just unleashed her full aura seemed to have disappeared.
"Little Fifth Miss, isn't this too fast?" Grandpa Zhang was also startled by Chen Xihua's decision.
"It's alright, I trust her, and besides, Grandpa Zhang, you're here too!" Chen Xihua had no worries.
Seeing that it was already 12:30 and the business had been finished, Wang Jun invited the group to have dinner in the county.
