Chapter 211 Coming Again
When making a cheongsam, especially one that is produced in large quantities, it is definitely not possible to use fine materials like silk.
Zhong Li produced several versions, using materials such as Hangchou, Mianchou, and chemical fiber materials, which reduced the cost of fabrics.
She also doesn't want the factory to contract out all the labor and materials. She provides the materials herself and the factory is only responsible for production. This way, costs are reduced.
Moreover, as someone who works in the clothing industry, she also knows that she can settle part of the money for the material with the manufacturer first, and pay the balance after the clothes are sold. The same goes for the manufacturer. In this way, although it is a bit difficult to make 500,000 pieces with 600,000 yuan, it is not impossible.
Zhong Li began to look for manufacturers in the west. She used to be a self-employed person and she was a retailer. She dealt with wholesalers the most. This was the first time she contacted a factory.
But at least there was some clue. Zhong Li listed the names of several factories and prepared to ask them one by one.
Zhong Hui was also busy. She started looking for fabric suppliers. They wanted to make 500,000 cheongsams, so they needed a lot of fabric.
Zhong Hui called several factories, and they had plenty of synthetic fiber and cotton fabrics, but only a limited supply of Hang Chou.
Zhong Hui has also made a comparison and found that the cheongsam made of Hangchou is the most comfortable. Although it is not as high-end as the silk one, it is still very comfortable to touch.
Xiao Nie also helped the Western Department to look for it. Zhong Hui made several phone calls, but they all said that the supply was limited, so they only made summer clothes. Now everyone is making autumn clothes, and fabrics like Hangchou are rarely used in autumn clothes.
"Oh." Zhong Hui put down the phone, frowning.
"Sister Hui, don't worry too much. There are so many fabric factories in our city, you won't have to worry about not finding it."
Zhong Hui rubbed her brows and nodded: "Yeah."
If it really doesn't work, just contact Suzhou. The shipping fee will be a little higher. There's no other way, so just spend a little more money.
"I'm going to the gym for class." Zhong Hui stood up and shook her arms.
I made an appointment with Coach Huang to take a class today. There are only ten classes. The summer vacation is almost over, and I have only attended less than five classes.
"Well, go ahead. I'll call you if I have any news."
When she arrived at the gym, Zhong Hui changed into her swimsuit and soaked in the water. She first moved around a bit, then practiced doggy paddle. After swimming a few strokes, Coach Huang arrived.
Zhong Hui was preoccupied with something today, so she wasn't paying much attention in class and even choked on water several times.
"Thank you, Coach Huang. That's all for today. I'll make an appointment for the next lesson."
"Sure, you can take a break." Coach Huang said hello and left. He still had a class to attend.
Zhong Hui was sitting on a chair next to the swimming pool, drying her hair with a towel when suddenly the phone rang.
Zhong Hui quickly pulled out her phone: "Hello, Boss Peng, any news?"
"I'm sorry, Boss Zhong, I've contacted several old friends and they all said they don't have this much stock. They're all preparing for the woolen materials and corduroy, and they're running low on them, so we'll have to wait until next spring to start making them."
Zhong Hui was a little disappointed. Boss Peng was the largest supplier of her supermarket and knew many people. If he couldn't do anything about it, then there probably wouldn't be any left.
"Thank you, Mr. Peng." After hanging up the phone, Zhong Hui was lost in thought as she gazed at the crystal blue water in the swimming pool.
"What are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't hear me." Xu Weian sat down next to Zhong Hui.
He was wearing casual clothes, and the earrings on his earlobes were particularly bright.
Zhong Hui quickly moved to the side. She was not used to the opposite sex being so close to her, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
