Chapter 229 Price Increase
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhong? I'm Huang Desheng. I have 5,000 pieces of goods in my warehouse. Do you want them? If you don't want them, I'll sell them to someone else."
Zhong Hui frowned and said, "Boss Huang, of course I want it. I want all the 20,000 pieces of cloth in your warehouse. Isn't that what we agreed on?"
Hearing the impatience in Zhong Hui's tone, Boss Huang pretended not to hear and continued to laugh: "Oh, Boss Zhong, it's like this. I won't hide it from you. Raw material prices are rising, workers' wages are rising, and even rents are going up. You see, we can't get the goods at Hangchou at this price. How about you raise the price?"
"Boss Huang, the most important thing when we do business is integrity, right?" Zhong Hui said patiently.
Huang Desheng kept repeating the same few words over and over again, and he was determined to raise the price.
"The increase is not that much. Compared with what you earn, it's just a drop in the bucket. You can't let yourself eat meat while I can't even have a sip of soup." At this point, Huang Desheng wanted to slap his thigh again. He had stockpiled goods for half a year, so why did he sell them at a low price at the critical moment?
"How do you know I'm making money?" Zhong Hui asked. The cheongsams were selling well, and it was today.
"Then I am also paying attention to the market. We are all doing business, so there will be news." Boss Huang continued to laugh.
There are still 5,000 pieces of cloth. Almost 100,000 pieces have been produced so far, and there are still 100,000 pieces to go. Zhong Hui really wants to hang up the phone and never do business with Mr. Huang again.
But the truth is: "Boss Huang, you're raising the price by 52 yuan at once. That's too much. At 160 yuan per bolt, I can't make any money."
"Boss Zhong, you can't fool me. I know exactly how much each piece of clothing costs."
The two of them argued for a long time, and finally agreed on 150 yuan per horse. It was still a profit, but they were still angry. What was the big deal about a temporary price increase?
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Hui called Zhong Li again and asked her to quickly order another batch of cloth from the cotton cloth factory to prevent the price from rising there as well.
When Zhong Li heard that Boss Huang was raising prices, she went to the cotton factory in person despite it being dark.
The wholesale business has been booming recently. They are the only cheongsam wholesale store in the entire market, and all the retail store owners in the surrounding area come here to purchase goods.
Some are middlemen who wholesale the goods here and then sell them to places farther away.
No matter where it is sold, Zhong Hui and the others don’t care, the wholesale price is the same anyway.
As the TV series became popular across the country, their cheongsams also became a hit. In five days, more than 300,000 pieces were sold.
"Boss Zhang, there are still 50,000 pieces of goods. Please hurry up." Zhong Li now not only has to look after the store, but also has to urge Boss Zhang to make progress.
Boss Zhang is also in a difficult situation. The workers have to work in two shifts and are complaining bitterly.
Zhong Li had been working in the factory for over a month and knew what was going on. She immediately said, "Boss Zhang, we've discussed this. For the next batch of goods, the processing fee will be increased by one yuan, to six yuan per piece."
Boss Zhang immediately smiled happily: "Boss Zhong, don't worry, I won't sleep even if I watch the workers work overtime. I will ask my wife to arrange the shifts right away, and we will work in three shifts."
Sure enough, as long as the salary is sufficient, working overtime is not a difficult thing.
Cheongsams are selling so well that the 500,000 pieces they have prepared are far from enough according to the current trend.
Zhong Hui is now looking for fabric everywhere, hoping to produce another batch of goods before others follow suit.
