Chapter 668: Talking about Cooperation (Part 1)
When the other party asked about the price, the boss replied very seriously: "This fabric is a newly developed product. It is unique in the fabric wholesale market. The price will be determined according to your order quantity."
Seeing that the boss did not immediately tell her the price of the fabric, Chen Shurong became unsure, so she looked directly at Shang Ruoting.
Although Shang Ruoting didn't know much about business, she had encountered this trick in her previous life.
It is nothing more than a unique product, and the boss wants to make a fortune while he can seize the market opportunity.
Although she knew what her boss was thinking, Shang Ruoting didn't quite agree with it.
Chen Shurong buys fabrics to make money. If the cost is too high, no matter how good the fabric is, it will be meaningless.
She did not negotiate the price with the boss immediately, but instead planned to draw a pie in the sky first.
"Boss, you have your own clothing factory, right?"
The boss nodded. "Eighty percent of the people doing business in this fabric wholesale market have their own small workshops. Comrade, are you planning to order custom-made clothes from me?"
As the boss spoke, he took out a small notebook from under the counter, which contained various clothing styles.
"If you want to customize clothes, you can refer to these samples. If you order a large quantity, you can get a discount."
Shang Ruoting did not continue to talk about her plan. She took the small notebook, opened it and read it carefully.
The clothing styles here are definitely trendy for this era, but there is still a big gap compared to Chen Shurong's own designs.
Putting down the notebook, Shang Ruoting said seriously, "Boss, if we come up with the designs ourselves and ask your factory to make the clothes, would you take on this business?"
It was the first time the boss met a customer like Shang Ruoting, and he actually made the design himself.
The samples in his hand were designed at a high price by someone imitating the trendy clothing in Hong Kong, but the young woman in front of him could actually produce the design drawings.
So, there is a high possibility that one of these two must be a fashion designer, or at least a painter.
No matter what, people are definitely looking for him to do business, so the boss's attitude becomes more serious.
"I need to take a look at your design drawings first, and then decide whether I can take on this business."
Shang Ruoting thought about it and felt that what the boss said was right. What if other people couldn’t make the drawings her mother drew? Wouldn’t it be all in vain?
But she didn't want to leak the design before the deal was finalized.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Ruoting took out one of the more complicated designs and placed it in front of the boss.
"Boss, take a look at this model first and see if you can make it."
After seeing the drawings, the boss's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he kept shouting in his heart: It's perfect, why couldn't I think of designing clothes like this?
Shang Ruoting had already thought that the boss would definitely be amazed by this design, so she was not surprised at all that he had such an expression.
"How about it, can you do it?"
If the boss said he couldn't do it, then this design would be completely handed over to someone else. Shang Ruoting was mentally prepared for this, so she chose to only show the boss a design drawing.
"The production of this dress is a bit complicated. I should be able to make it after I study it carefully." The boss answered sincerely.
Shang Ruoting continued, "In that case, we can discuss the price. If it's suitable, I'll do it in your factory."
After seeing the drawings and knowing that the other party was indeed sincere in their cooperation, the boss said straight to the point: "I believe that you just decided to cooperate with me after seeing the fabric, so let me first tell you the price of this fabric.
I learned the technology to make this fabric abroad last year. I had it custom-made by a textile factory, and now it's sold exclusively here.
In the wholesale market here, people basically order in pieces. Each piece of cloth is 15 meters long and costs 120 yuan. If you choose to have it processed here, a certain processing fee will be charged.
The price of fabric is not cheap. The width of the fabric is only about one meter and three. If you want to make a spring and autumn windbreaker designed by my mother, you need at least three meters of fabric. Including the processing fee, the cost of a piece of clothing will reach 30 yuan.
After deducting the travel expenses, if the clothes are sold back in Beijing for less than 60 or 70 yuan, there will be no profit at all.
It would be fine if the cost of a piece of clothing could be reduced by more than ten yuan.
Chen Shurong was a little hesitant after hearing the price. The clothing store had not yet opened. If the business was not good and such expensive clothes could not be sold, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
"Tingting, how about we discuss this again?" Chen Shurong asked in a low voice.
