Chapter 120: Vicious Vision Someone wants to take a piece of the pie. ...
After breakfast, the mother and daughter took Pang Wei to the nearby Children's Palace to learn Go, and then took the bus to work in the factory.
When the two arrived, the factory was already busy.
Lü Jun and Duan Jie were in the office answering phone orders, while Dong Fuyun and his two apprentices entertained customers. Xu Heye had three or four strong male workers in the warehouse helping Wang Anwen pack and ship goods.
Many orders were already packed yesterday. Today, all we have to do is check the payment list, select the paid packages, take them to the train station, and then use the train shipping service to deliver the goods to the customers.
Dong Fuyun and his young apprentice were surrounded by a crowd of people, most of whom were familiar faces, but each person's words were enough to disrupt the rhythm. Dong Xinghua said to Pang Qiao, "I'll go help your uncle entertain the customers. Qiaoqiao, you should go help your cousin."
"Okay." Pang Qiao nodded and went into the office.
But Xu Heye was not in the office. She looked around and asked, "Uncle Lu, where is my cousin?"
"The boss is shipping the goods from the warehouse." The person who spoke was not Lu Jun, but Duan Jie.
Lu Jun answered customers' questions and recorded their orders at the same time.
He scribbled a few numbers in his notebook: Women's yellow, 10, 20, 10. Women's black, 10, 30, 20... These were all shorthand notations, representing women's yellow, 10 S, 20 M, and 10 L. Women's black, 10 S, 30 M, and 20 L sizes, respectively...
After writing it, he checked it with the customer, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed this very concise list to Duan Jie, who filled in the complete information on the carbon copy.
This method was thought up by Duan Jie. It can save some time and is more accurate and less likely to make mistakes.
Like yesterday, when Xu Heye dictated the order, he and Pang Qiao had to pay full attention to her, otherwise they might miss something. After the order was written, both parties had to check it repeatedly to ensure the accuracy of the order information.
Xu Heye verified with the customers, and they verified with Xu Heye again. This added an extra step and wasted a lot of time.
Pang Qiao nodded, and just as Lu Jun put down the phone, the phone rang.
"Brother Duan Jie, do you need my help?" Yesterday, the two of them recorded orders together. Several times when she was distracted, it was Duan Jie who helped remind her.
Duan Jie shook his head: "No need, Brother Lu and I can handle it."
"Okay, Uncle Lu, Brother Duan Jie, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go help my cousin." Lu Jun nodded and focused his attention on the customer on the other end of the phone.
Pang Qiao walked out of the office and jumped towards the warehouse.
"Cousin, let me help you."
"Okay." Xu Heye nodded and asked, "Is my aunt here?"
"Come on, we came together."
"Okay." Xu Heye handed the order in her hand to her, "Qiaoqiao, these are all orders that have been paid. Come and help Uncle Wang."
Of the four workers Xu Heye had called over, only one could read. The other three couldn't read and needed guidance. Working in pairs, one person had to be literate, otherwise how could they verify the orders?
Pang Qiao took the order and asked, "Cousin, aren't you watching over here?"
Xu Heye shook her head: "No, I have other things to do. Qiaoqiao, I'll trouble you and Uncle Wang here."
Xu Heye finished speaking and turned to go to the workshop to find Dong Xinghua. Shipping was important, but others could also do it. By comparison, ordering the fabric and subsequently finding a OEM were the most pressing matters.
As soon as she reached the door of the workshop, she bumped into Dong Xinghua who was going to the warehouse to find her.
"He Ye, I've figured it out. I'll do as you say about buying the fabric."
"Aunt, let's buy 100,000 meters of material first."
The two of them burst out laughing when they heard this. Xu Heye said, "Aunt, I've thought about it, and you have a point. We really shouldn't gamble all our savings away. Let's order 100,000 meters of material first. If it sells well, it'll be easy to order more. If the market changes, we can afford the loss."
Xu Heye thought about it and realized that the reason she dared to take out all her savings to gamble was because she was very sure that the drama "Public Relations Lady" would be popular and would lead a new trend.
More importantly, there was no other competitor except her at that time.
But now it's different.
Everyone knows that uniforms can make money, and a lot of money, so there will definitely be a lot of competitors joining in.
Take the Jiangcheng Garment Factory, which rented the factory to them, for example. If they also joined in the production of uniforms, with the machines in seven or eight workshops running together, they could cover seven or eight days' production capacity in just one day.
After all, they are small, slow to produce, and have to order fabrics on the spot. All of this takes time, and by the time their products are ready, the uniforms may already be sold out on the market.
One hundred thousand meters of fabric cost three hundred thousand. Even if they lose all of it, it won't be a big loss, and they still have a chance to turn things around.
Blind expansion is a taboo. My aunt's concerns are correct. The business world is like a battlefield and she cannot take things for granted.
Hearing Xu Heye's initiative to buy less fabric, Dong Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief: "Heye, it's great that you can think it through."
"Shall we go order the fabric now, or go to my old employer?"
"It's better to do what you are familiar with than to do what you are not familiar with. Let's go to the Shenyi Textile Factory where you used to work."
"Okay, I'll call Manager Wang from the sales department and see if he's free." A few minutes later, Dong Xinghua hung up the phone. "He Ye, let's go. Manager Wang and I have an appointment at 9:30."
Xu Heye looked up at her watch and saw it was half past eight. To save time, they decided to take a taxi.
After getting off the car, Dong Xinghua took Xu Heye to the sales department of Shenyi Textile Factory. But what they didn't expect was that they would run into someone they knew there, who was also here to buy fabric - suit fabric.
Xu Heye and Dong Xinghua looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Competitors appeared so quickly.
You have to know that they sold the fake collars for almost a month before imitations appeared on the market.
But now, in just one day, someone wants to get a piece of the pie.
No, Xu Heye shook her head. It wasn't one day, it should be four days. Since "Public Relations Lady" was broadcast on CCTV, some knowledgeable people have seen business opportunities in this drama.
Xu Heye suddenly realized that these two successes still made her a little proud.
But her success was not because she was sharp, she just took advantage of her past life memories.
Xu Heye secretly warned herself that she was still a newcomer in the field of business and must not underestimate the sharp eyes of those old businessmen who had been in the business world for more than ten years.
"Deputy Director Zhang, are you also buying suit fabrics?" Dong Xinghua tried hard to force a smile, but there was still a hint of questioning and displeasure in her tone.
Their factory is rented in Jiangcheng Garment Factory. If Jiangcheng Garment Factory makes the same products as them, who will the customers who come to place orders choose?
Xu Heye had previously wanted Jiangcheng Garment Factory to help them with processing, but now she thinks that she was being too presumptuous.
How can you earn more money by processing on behalf of others than by buying materials, processing them and selling them yourself?
