After searching for half a month, I finally found a factory. People said that the boss was quite reliable. He had taken over the factory for more than a year and had made some money, so he should not run away.
Wen Zhichao also visited the other party’s production workshop and thought it was okay, although not as good as Wang Wei’s. However, in order to ensure a continuous supply of autumn clothes, he had no choice but to decide on it for now.
Although private and individual businesses were booming at the time, inadequate legal frameworks led to numerous problems that disrupted the market. When Wen Zhichao presented the contract for signature, the other party, surprised by the detailed requirements for a small clothing store, thought it was just a small business. Wen Zhichao explained that even close friends have to be clear about their accounts. As partners, we must clearly define our respective responsibilities and obligations. This provides a basis for determining liability if something goes wrong.
In fact, it is just to have a basis for finding out who is responsible if something goes wrong accidentally.
After reading it, the other party signed it. It seemed that there was no major problem. The numbers were all in capital letters, so there was basically no possibility of changing them.
After completing this task, Wen Zhichao breathed a sigh of relief. For now, the clothing store was the most profitable. He might devote himself to the clothing business full-time in the future. After all, women's pursuit of beauty has a long history, and as long as women continue to pursue beauty, there will be no shortage of clothing. He planned to sell the tape store, so he was considering opening his own factory. That way, he could have full control over the production and sales of clothing, without worrying about any problems.
If you ask Wen Zhichao if he's tired, of course he is. Even with his business talent and acumen, he still feels exhausted. There are many things he can't delegate to others and has to do personally. But when he thinks about his wife and daughter at home, Wen Zhichao feels that it's all worth it. He's happy to work so hard to give the two women he loves the most a better life.
Two months later, when the goods were delivered, Wen Zhichao inspected them and felt something was wrong as soon as he touched the fabric.
"Is this cotton?" Wen Zhichao was very skeptical. The clothing store had been open for more than a year, and it was impossible for him not to be able to tell whether it was cotton or not.
"Of course it's cotton! It's so soft, how could it not be cotton?" The other party loudly refuted Wen Zhichao.
Wen Zhichao asked in confusion, "Where does this cotton come from?"
"Central Plains cotton!"
Wen Zhichao was immediately furious. "I told you before that we should use Xinjiang cotton! Why didn't you use it?!"
The woman next to the boss laughed and said, "You, a small boss, really don't understand the market. Xinjiang cotton is more expensive than Central Plains cotton. Of course, it's more economical to use Central Plains cotton!"
"But that's what we agreed on at the beginning!" Wen Zhichao was furious. He had never seen anyone so shameless.
The boss said: "Our contract didn't say that, it only said that cotton cloth was required. I also used cotton cloth, so it's not against the rules!"
Wen Zhichao was so angry that he was almost exasperated. He had thought the contract was clear enough, but he hadn't expected such a profiteer to take advantage of them. Wen Zhichao was furious, but he couldn't refute it.
Central Plains cotton is cotton grown in the east. Good cotton requires ample water during the growing season, but also plenty of sunshine during the harvest season, with no rain, as it ruins the cotton. Xinjiang's abundant sunshine naturally produces high-quality cotton, and the fabric made from this cotton is also very soft and can withstand more wear and tear. Central Plains cotton, however, is more humid than Xinjiang during the harvest season, so its threads are shorter and not as comfortable as fabric made from Xinjiang cotton. Therefore, Central Plains cotton is cheaper and has lower costs. Wen Zhichao, this profiteer, pays them the same processing fee as Wang Wei and his team!
Angrily taking the goods back, Wen Zhichao began to have another headache. Should he sell the goods? If he didn't, he'd lose a fortune. If he did, he was worried his old customers would think the quality was poor and stop coming back. It's easy to get someone to come into a store once, but it's not easy to get them to come back a second time, a third time, or even to become a long-term customer.
After Wang Wei heard about this, he felt very guilty. Wen Zhichao couldn't blame him either, after all, it wasn't him who cut corners or anything like that.
Du Lulu and Ma Yun also found some problems with the clothes, such as uneven seams and uneven cutting. Sometimes, two pieces of the same style even had completely different details.
Wen Zhichao was so angry that he fell backwards. He really made a mistake this time. How could he have the nerve to sell such clothes to customers?
The most important thing now is to find a way to remedy the situation, as autumn is approaching.
