Wen Zhichao did not take Xu Hongwei's invitation seriously, because Xu Hongwei did not seem to have much money. If he could not come up with cash and asked for an IOU or something like payment in installments, Wen Zhichao would not accept it.
Although tape stores are still doing good business, there are not many people who are truly rich and capable. There are very few families who have a thousand yuan at home, let alone several thousand yuan.
Wen Zhichao was not in a hurry. He believed that someone would see the value of the tape store and buy it.
Another half a month passed, and the Chinese New Year was just around the corner. Xia Ruzheng began to settle the accounts at the end of the year and also had to prepare for the Chinese New Year. He was so busy that he had no time to rest.
Wen Zhichao calculated that if he wanted to open a garment factory, the cost would be at least tens of thousands of yuan. In addition to machinery, equipment, labor and venue, he would also need to purchase raw materials, fabrics, needles and thread, etc., which added up to a considerable amount.
The two of them still don't have enough money on hand, and they can't say that they have no money at all. If something goes wrong, won't they have to beg for money from everyone?
"I have visited all the factories in Guangzhou that produce fabrics, threads, needles, motor oil, etc., and found a few that have relatively good cost-effectiveness. After signing order contracts with these factories, I will purchase raw materials from them." Wen Zhichao said to Xia Ruzheng holding a notebook.
Xia Ruzheng took the notebook and looked at it. The thick notebook was already full of writing and drawings. They were all written and drawn by Wen Zhichao when he was doing calculations.
The cost will definitely be high or low, because different manufacturers have different prices. The most expensive is not necessarily the best, and the cheapest is not necessarily the worst. It is not easy to find a balance in the middle. You also have to find a balance between the total price and all your money, and try to save costs. However, it is not easy to ensure the quality of the product.
"As long as you think it's good, I haven't seen it myself. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Wen Zhichao rode his bicycle all over Guangzhou to find these factories. Nowadays, there is no Internet that can help you find out how many textile factories there are in the city, how many are state-owned and how many are private, where they are located, how to get to them, etc. He had to ask around and then find them.
Wen Zhichao said, "What's the big deal? As long as our factory can open smoothly, everything will be worth it."
Xia Ruzheng nodded. As a wife, she had her own dreams and plans. Wen Zhichao had never stopped her from doing anything and had even always supported her. So she should also try to find a balance. She should not only be a good boss and a good entrepreneur, but also a good wife who could support her husband at critical moments and let him do his own things without any worries.
It's the end of the year, the 27th or 28th day of the lunar year, and everyone is packing up to prepare for the New Year. There are few people outside, so the store at home is closed. I gave New Year's bonuses to several employees and let them go home for the New Year. The store will open on the 8th day of the New Year.
My family had received a letter a long time ago, knowing that the two of them were spending the New Year away from home with their children again. They just reminded me not to be too frugal and to have a good time.
The couple naturally agreed verbally, but they still did what they wanted to do.
Because they needed money to open the factory, the couple didn't buy any new clothes. They didn't even buy new clothes from the store. They just wore old clothes. Of course, the baby needed new clothes.
The baby now has a new name, Wenya, which is pleasant and easy to remember, and Xia Ruzheng is quite satisfied. However, the name has not yet been written on the household registration. After the baby was born, he has not yet returned home to register.
I had originally planned to go home for the New Year this year, not only to celebrate my baby's birthday, but also to register the baby's name. However, because of the factory opening, I have to delay it a bit.
Wen Zhichao also rarely complained: "It's so hard to go home now. Because of the child's household registration, I always have to make such a big trip. If our household registration was in Guangzhou, it would be much more convenient."
This was the first time the issue of household registration was brought up. Xia Ruzheng asked, "Is it easy to transfer your household registration? If it's possible, we can move here. This will save us the trouble of arranging schooling for our children and buying a house in the future."
When it comes to issues such as children's education, medical treatment, and house buying, it is indeed much more convenient to have a local household registration. Not only do you not have to go through all kinds of messy procedures that you can't even understand, you also don't have to be pushed around and rejected by others, and you don't have to pay any messy fees. In short, you will suffer for a while and enjoy for a lifetime.
For Xia Ruzheng, it doesn't matter where her household registration is. The main issue is the children and buying a house in the future, which may be troublesome. Anyway, her household registration has been moved out of the original Xia family and to the Wen family, so it doesn't matter if she moves again.
Wen Zhichao is different. Although he does not have a deep relationship with his family, he still has strong feelings for his hometown, the village, and the land. So asking him to move his household registration is like pulling out his roots and transplanting them to Guangzhou. He will feel very uncomfortable and unable to adapt, and will not be able to accept it all at once.
"Let me think about this. Let's get the factory up and running first. We have to do things one by one."
Xia Ruzheng didn't want to transfer his household registration right away, so he asked, "Well, by the way, have you chosen a site for the factory?"
Speaking of this, Wen Zhichao rarely smiled: "Of course I've chosen it. It's right across from the Victory Garment Factory!"
Xia Ruzheng felt that Wen Zhichao was full of malice. He opened his factory opposite someone else's. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two companies were going to compete with each other.
"You're really going to squeeze them out!" Xia Ruzheng smiled, not disapproving at all. The owner of the Victory Garment Factory was truly unkind, even exploiting a loophole in the contract to act like a hooligan. Since you're acting like a hooligan, I'll act like one too. It's just a matter of seeing who can outsmart the other.
