Chapter 54: Self-determination, unexpected surprise
"Okay, guys, you guys get busy. I'll have someone hang up all the clothes."
Bai Laosan knew that there was hope for this matter. He could drink the wine anytime, but this business deal could not be missed.
The people who came with them to deliver the goods also understood and came over to help immediately.
"What's the matter, Chen Yang?" Chen Yang was young, so Su Zhongguo just called him by his name.
"Brother Su, I think this is feasible. I've seen that these styles have never appeared in the supply and marketing cooperative before, and there are more colors than in the supply and marketing cooperative. If we really take over, we will definitely make money, but the selling price is not very high now."
Chen Yang is smart and far-sighted.
He naturally looks at things from a longer-term perspective than Li Baoguo and others.
Although Su Zhongguo also came from the countryside, he had a cheat, and that was his daughter. His daughter often complained about some of the things that happened later in her heart. He listened to her so much that his horizons naturally broadened a lot.
"You have a point, but we have to check the goods first and then talk about other things. So, you come with me." Su Zhongguo agreed with Chen Yang's idea and took the man with him without saying a word.
He is from the county town, so he naturally knows more than him and has a better understanding of the living standards of the people here.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Su."
Chen Yang was very excited. Although he came from a prominent family, he didn't have any connections.
"What's there to thank me for? We are all family and brothers." Su Zhongguo smiled and turned to look at the cotton-padded jacket.
Bai Laosan and others hung out all their cotton-padded clothes.
There are both men and women, and you know what, they all fell in love with it after seeing it.
"Third brother, are the goods of the same quality as these samples?" After checking everything, Su Zhongguo asked Bai Laosan who was standing beside him.
"Of course, brother, I won't do such a wicked thing. Naturally, the goods will be what you see the ready-made clothes look like." Bai Laosan knew about the unspoken rules of some garment factories, but he, Bai Jingtang, would not do such a thing as giving birth to a son without an anus.
He repeatedly assured Su Zhongguo, but was afraid that he would not believe him, so he quickly asked his men to open the other package.
Seeing him like this, Su Zhongguo hurriedly stopped him, "No, no, Third Brother, don't think too much. I didn't mean that. I naturally believe you. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have told Director Li to ask you to help me choose a style."
On this point, Su Zhongguo still has great faith in Bai Laosan's character.
"Third brother, let's go and continue drinking."
At the dinner table, Su Zhongguo mentioned the price.
Of course, when it comes to serious matters, some things should not be heard by outsiders.
Li Baoguo and Li Baomin found an excuse to take their brothers away from their mother's side.
Chen Yang was left behind.
Chen Yang knew that he had caught Su Zhongguo's eye and was treated as one of his own.
He was not polite and was willing to invest a large sum of money if possible.
"Brother, I'm not going to frame you. Just give me an extra layer of winter clothes at cost price. They're just inventory anyway, so any profit is a good profit. But of course, I can't sell them at this price."
"Winter pants should be cheaper, five yuan per pair. There are not many pants anyway." These are all cotton pants, and not only cloth coupons but also cotton coupons are required.
Five dollars a piece, it’s really cheap.
After hearing Bai Jingtang's offer, not to mention Su Zhongguo, even Chen Yang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. It was cheap, too cheap.
He knew that his mother made him a pair of cotton trousers last year. Not to mention the ticket, it cost no less than ten yuan.
Ten yuan is not expensive. Including the ticket, a pair of pants will cost at least fifteen yuan.
Including the clothes, a set costs at least thirty yuan, which is why people prefer to make them themselves rather than buy them at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
It’s really too expensive. The money for one set of clothes can make a whole set of clothes for the whole family in summer.
The inventory brought in this time is from last year, so the prices of summer and autumn and winter clothes have not changed much.
All in all, about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan was gone.
Su Zhongguo could naturally eat it all, but he was not the only one here. There were also two Chang brothers, Li Baoguo and Li Baomin, and now Chen Yang.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Bai Laosan did not disturb him. Instead, he asked Ding Zhiqiu to open a box.
After clearing some of the desk, he placed the box on the table. "Don't say that your brother doesn't take care of you. Look, I brought you some good things."
This box is full of watches.
But it's not just electronic watches. Although that thing can make money, the style is really not as good as what he brought this time.
Naturally, he also brought the electronic watch he wanted and two thousand yuan worth of it.
The county town now has a population of hundreds of thousands, and with the surrounding areas, it is no problem to have a population of over one million.
Electronic watches are cheap and easier to ship, so the amount Su Zhongguo asked him to bring is naturally not a small amount.
Seeing those watches, Chen Yang was excited.
As a man, who doesn't like these things?
Watches and bicycles are the most important things for men to look like when they are outside.
"Manager Bai, can I take a look at them?" These are much better looking than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Bai Laosan raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Of course."
Su Zhongguo also woke up from Chen Yang's voice.
Looking at the watches in the box, he felt a little tempted, but he knew that it was difficult to sell expensive things, and he had no intention of buying them. If Bai Lao San needed them, he would take some, but not much.
Before he could speak, Chen Yang held up a watch and asked, "Brother Zhongguo, these watches are of good quality. If I'm not mistaken, they are all from Xiangcheng."
Seeing him like this, Su Zhongguo had nothing else to understand. "Do you want to buy it?" he asked.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I do, but I don't know the price?" He was not very familiar with Bai Lao San, so he naturally trusted Su Zhongguo and the others more when it came to price.
Su Zhongguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, just pick out the one you like first, and I'll talk to you later."
The two of them spoke without avoiding Bai Laosan. Naturally, Bai Laosan, who heard it, did not criticize Su Zhongguo and did not want to bypass him.
Anyway, here, he trusts Su Zhongguo more than Chen Yang.
He would rather not sell it than take risks with his own things.
Yes, the watch is his own, but the clothes belong to the company and have little to do with him.
After the two talked for a while, Su Zhongguo saw that Bai Jingtang had no intention of talking, and he understood what he meant.
Smiling, he toasted him with a glass of wine and said, "Third brother, we have to wait for my cousin to come back before choosing the watch. He makes all the decisions on this matter. Let's drink first. I agree with the price you mentioned, and I'll give you the money in a moment."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and poured the glass over.
Bai Laosan is also a straightforward person. When he heard this, the smile on his face deepened. "Haha, okay, brother won't let you suffer any loss, don't worry."
After saying that, he also drank the wine in the glass with an inexplicable smile on his face.
It was not until later that he realized how big a gift Bai Jingtang had given him.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and settled down, those who had gone out came back.
Because someone was sleeping in the yard, they didn't dare to speak loudly and went to the next room. Li Baomin was left alone here to guard the yard, for fear that the person who went to rest would get up and not know the situation in the yard.
next door.
Brothers Su Zhongguo and Li Baoguo and Chen Yang went into the house to discuss things. Everyone understood that there were some things that were not convenient for them to hear.
No one has any objection to this.
In the room, Su Zhongguo quoted the price of the goods. After hearing it, Li Baoguo and Li Baomin were very satisfied.
"This price is acceptable, and the price of winter clothes is also acceptable. It depends on the payment of 30,000. Zhongguo, what do you think?" Li Baoguo looked at his brother and asked softly.
When I was at home, my wife said that this time everyone should pay the same amount of money, so that she wouldn't feel bad when dividing the money.
But we can’t be like last time, watching others take so much while we only have so little.
Looking at their expressions, Su Zhongguo realized that what Guixiang had worried about last time had happened.
Fortunately, he didn't plan to give up on this line.
"With Chen Yang joining us this time, why don't we split the profits equally? What do you think, Brother Baoguo?" With four people, 25% is exactly enough for each of them.
Although the profit is less, the capital expenditure is also less.
"This, isn't good?" Before Li Baoguo and the others could speak, Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed. "How about I take less?"
Although he wanted to join, he didn't think about taking away such a large share of other people's profits as soon as he came in.
Su Zhongguo patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, we are all brothers, there is no need to be so formal. This is not just a one-time deal, there will be next time."
"It's not okay to be too unconventional."
After calming Chen Yang down, Su Zhongguo saw Li Baoguo and his brother, "Cousin, what do you think?"
Li Baoguo and Li Baomin were fine with it. "Well, sure. We'll listen to you. But I heard Chen Yang say you haven't made up your mind about the watch. What do you think?"
But he cared more about buying and selling watches, as he felt he could make more money there.
It's a big item. Not to mention that everyone buys one, even if every family buys one, they can still sell tens of thousands of copies.
"Aren't you the one who makes the decisions on this matter? I'll just wait for you to come back and see the goods." It's impossible for Su Zhongguo to make decisions on everything. People will have opinions after a long time.
My daughter is right. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone cousins like them.
Now that there are outsiders joining in, it’s better to lay out the rules in advance.
The smile on Li Baoguo's face deepened by three points. He was very happy to hear what Su Zhongguo said.
"Well, I'll go check out the goods later. Last time, I felt that Bai Lao San had a lot of good stuff, but I was worried and didn't dare to take any. This time, I can't let him go."
The words were much more cheerful, and there was even a hint of humor in them.
Su Zhongguo knew that he had made the right choice.
"Okay, I'll take two thousand for the electronic watch, so six thousand in total. Including the battery, that's about seven thousand. We'll figure out the rest later. Let's calculate everyone's contributions first. We have to pay them this afternoon."
Su Zhongguo knew that Bai Laosan was also waiting anxiously, so he decided to finish the job first before talking about other things.
"Okay, let's calculate how much each person will pay."
Four people each contributed 10,000 yuan, making it an even number. They could use the extra money to buy the goods when the time came, so no one was at a disadvantage.
In the afternoon, Su Zhongguo and everyone else were busy in the yard. There was no other way, at least they had to sort out the ready-made clothes so that it would be convenient for others to come and pick up the goods.
Just when they had finished tidying up half of the things, Bai Laosan brought the accountant Lao Ren out of the room.
"Oh, you are busy, why don't you ask us to help?" Bai Jingtang came to Su Zhongguo and others and handed them a cigarette.
"Well, I saw you were resting, so I didn't want to disturb you. Third brother, you woke up just in time. How do I pay for the goods? Should I transfer it to you? Or give it directly to you?"
Su Zhongguo didn't waste any time and directly told them what they were most worried about.
How can you feel at ease when you are away from home without money in your hands?
If Bai Jingtang hadn't pressured him, Accountant Ren Ruo would have asked them for money long ago.
Bai Jingtang didn't reply, but looked at the accountant beside him.
"Uncle Ren, what do you think?"
Ren Ruo looked at everyone in the room and thought of what the eldest master said before he left. Although he agreed at that time, he didn't dare to take the train back with so much money after all the journey.
"Just put it into the factory account. I happen to have the certificate and receipt."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingtang smiled.
He knew that Uncle Ren was afraid of death and that he must have earned his money through clear channels. Now even his good brother couldn't do anything about it.
You still want to raise the price? Raise your head.
You dare to plot against my brothers? Who gave you the courage?
Yes, before coming here, Bai Jingzong said that the price of this batch of clothes would be raised by one third, but Bai Jingtang did not agree.
When discussing the price yesterday, he didn't even mention this and just quoted the original price.
Anyway, there is no stock in the warehouse. Even if he finds someone to sell it, it is impossible for him to pay as much as he can.
Hey, you can still cheat people? Dream on.
How could Ren Ruo not know about the fight between the two young masters of the Bai family? He was just helpless. If the eldest young master wanted to make a fuss, he would let him talk it himself next time.
He didn't think the eldest son could defeat the younger son. He had seen how ruthless this gentleman was.
If it weren't for the boss's face, the eldest son would have been kicked out of the company long ago.
Su Zhongguo and others naturally didn't know the reason, and they didn't know that Bai Laosan had contradicted his eldest brother for them.
Otherwise, my gratitude to him would definitely be even deeper.
"In that case, I'll let Chen Yang and my cousin go with you." Su Zhongguo pointed at Chen Yang and Li Baomin.
Although Li Baoguo didn't understand why his second brother was allowed to go, he didn't ask any more questions at this time and just listened.
Ren Ruozi had no objection, so he took two people to the bank.
After everyone left, Bai Laosan took Su Zhongguo and Li Baoguo to see the gifts he had prepared for them.
You know what, it’s really good, there are actually five radios.
"Look, brother treats you well, doesn't he?" Bai Jingtang said proudly to the two of them, "This is fresh stuff I got from Xiangcheng. It's incomparable to what you get inland."
So I explained to them the differences between the five radios.
After listening, well, Su Zhongguo didn’t understand, he only knew that this thing was new and the country didn’t have it yet.
"Can this thing be sold domestically?" This is what he is more worried about.
"What's there that can't be sold? Look, what I got for you." As he said that, Bai Jingtang took out another piece of approval slip and shook it.
"For this thing, I have to pay a lot of favors. You guys have to treat me well while I am here."
Well, that unruly temper came out again.
Seeing him like this, Su Zhongguo and Li Baoguo also laughed. This was the Bai Lao San they knew.
They all felt a little uncomfortable with his serious look before.
"Okay, it's no use to you, brother." Su Zhongguo patted his shoulder vigorously. "How long will you stay here? If you stay longer, I'll take you around."
He also had to send back the goods from the villagers.
