Chapter 194 A stroke of genius to save the situation
"It's not difficult to solve the current predicament of garment factories. We just need to start from the perspective of market demand, change the products a little bit, catch up with the new products in autumn, and we can make a lot of money."
Rutang's words awakened the factory director, and his eyes lit up.
"You mean, making long-sleeved Sachiko shirts? But, if we can think of it, other factories should be able to think of it too. I don't know what's wrong with those southern barbarians' brains. Their reaction speed is too fast!"
When Director Wu mentioned the factory in the south, he gritted his teeth.
During the time he was suspended, the Southern Factory imitated a large number of Sachiko shirts and quickly captured the market. This work efficiency made Director Wu hate and envy, and even left him with a psychological trauma.
"Whether in the south or the north, they are all our compatriots. Calling them southern barbarians is a bit harsh." Rutang corrected Director Wu's words, "The economic reform in the south is already being piloted. The factories competing with us for the market are all private factories, so they will definitely be more profitable."
State-owned enterprises in the north are iron rice bowls, and the workers have a relatively high sense of happiness, but the downside is that they lack motivation. To put it bluntly, they don’t work hard even if they have the job.
"If we want to seize the market, we have to make products that are better and more competitive than those of others. We don't have an advantage in speed. What I mean is that we have to work harder on fabrics. Director Wu, based on your experience, what fabrics do southern factories use to make long sleeves?"
Director Wu thought for a moment and replied, "The mainstream fabrics on the market now are Dacron and pure cotton. For this kind of pattern, Dacron is not very suitable because it doesn't drape well enough. They will probably choose pure cotton."
Rutang nodded, this idea was correct.
"We want to make a shirt that is exactly like the one in the TV series. Using pure cotton won't work. We need to use a better material so that we can seize the market." Rutang gave a strategy to revitalize the garment factory, but Director Wu was confused.
"Where can we get better materials? Even if we can find this kind of fabric, our factory can no longer afford it..." Director Wu sighed.
The current predicament made him feel heavy pressure.
All the factory’s funds have been used to purchase summer materials. Now that summer styles can’t be sold, where will the money come from to purchase raw materials for autumn styles?
I’m afraid that even if a great god came, he wouldn’t be able to save their little factory.
"I can find a way to solve this problem, but I have a condition." Rutang paused, "100,000 yuan, you have to give us first. If your factory is in financial difficulties and can't come up with cash, let the factory write a receipt in the form of an IOU, stamp it with the official seal, and give us the money after it turns a profit."
Rutang knows the nature of these big companies very well. If he doesn't make things clear, the money will become bad debt and he won't know when he will get it back.
It is safer to put it in black and white. Write down the date when the money will be paid so that there will be proof in the future.
"This..." Director Wu seemed a little embarrassed, as he had no say in this matter.
"Go back and discuss it with your leader. He will agree." Ru Tang was confident.
The garment factory is now a huge mess. The leader’s cronies have messed things up like this, and they must be eager to smooth over the holes.
The raw materials piled up in the factory are more than 100,000 yuan, and the loss is hundreds of thousands. The new factory director cannot take the responsibility. If the higher-ups investigate, the leader who promoted him will also be in trouble.
Rutang was certain that the other party was anxious to solve the problem and would definitely agree to her proposal.
Director Wu went out to look for someone. Less than two hours later, he came back with a complicated expression on his face.
"The leader has agreed. Your technical consulting fees can be written into the raw material purchase item for reimbursement, but we have to wait until the factory makes a profit before we can give it to you. If it doesn't make a profit, then we will be in trouble."
Director Wu was mixed with sadness and joy. His leader was also an old fox who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. As long as the job could be done, the money would be easy to talk about. The factory was profitable, so it would not be difficult to write a little more material expenses for reimbursement.
But if the factory is not profitable, not only will the money not be given, but he and Yu Yaoyang and his wife might even be charged with fraud.
"Did you bring the contract?" Ru Tang asked.
Director Wu nodded and pulled out a contract from his bag. Rutang glanced at it quickly, and after making sure there were no problems, she asked Yu Yaoyang to sign it before she gave her solution.
"I know that there are several material factories in Province A that specialize in knitted fabrics. Knitted fabrics are rare not only in the north, but also in the south. Using this material to make long sleeves has a better-looking style, is warm and does not pill, and does not deform after washing. The price is about the same as pure cotton."
Director Wu's eyes lit up instantly. His sister-in-law was truly amazing. She was even more powerful than an immortal. She could even think of this!
But soon, Director Wu became serious again.
"Even if we know they have it, we don't have the money to buy it now."
The money promised to Yu Yaoyang and his wife was all in the form of IOUs, and there was no cash at all.
"I've thought about this. There are three factories that produce this kind of fabric. They're not doing well and are on the verge of bankruptcy. The raw materials are piling up and can't be sold. You go over there right away and sign a contract with them. Ask them to give you the raw materials first and pay you later. In order to solve their current predicament, they will definitely be willing to cooperate."
Rutang revealed her last trump card, which gave her the confidence to ask for 100,000 yuan.
Director Wu was shocked, his eyes filled with clear stupidity. In his simple little head, he could never imagine that there was such a way of operating.
Yu Yaoyang narrowed his eyes.
Province A is separated from City D by several provinces. How could she know that there were several material factories on the verge of bankruptcy there?
Rutang's eyes dodged. Of course she couldn't say it. She carried the memories of her past life with her and had an overwhelming advantage in information.
"It might not be safe for me to go alone. As you know, I don't know much about contracts, and I don't have much confidence in dealing with people from the South..." Director Wu rubbed his hands and looked at the Rutang couple expectantly.
Yu Yaoyang said: "I'll go with you."
For the sake of the hundred thousand dollars, he was still very willing to help.
Director Wu nodded repeatedly and immediately booked the tickets under Rutang's command. Now the Rutang couple were his hope for promotion and salary increase.
After seeing off Director Wu, Yu Yaoyang folded his arms and looked at Rutang with a scrutinizing gaze, with two big words written all over his face: Recruit.
"I found out from the newspaper. I glanced at it casually when I went to the library. I can't remember which issue it was or what newspaper it was. There were a pile of newspapers in the library, as you know." Ru Tang threw out the answer she had already thought of.
"Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?" Yu Yaoyang's intuition told him that his wife was hiding something from him.
"What can I hide from you... I'm not actually a human, but a ghost from the future. I can predict the future, do you believe it?" Ru Tang said half-jokingly, but his little heart was pounding with nervousness.
