Chapter 344 If you have such good things in the future, think of me
Cheng Hui asked someone to make a batch of brocade boxes, using all kinds of fabrics. It turned out that each one looked very beautiful!
Even if it is wrapped in white satin, it has a unique beauty... Chinese people may think it is a bit unlucky, but foreigners may not mind it.
There are dozens of pieces of white cloth, which cannot be wasted. Cheng Hui thinks she can try making a batch.
Sun Biao looked at the table full of colorful brocade boxes of various sizes, his face lighting up with excitement.
The cost of a few cents turned into a few dollars in a blink of an eye, which is nearly 10 times the profit! It’s more profitable than making furniture.
"Director, I am convinced. You have the ability to turn stone into gold!" Sun Biao said to Cheng Hui, sincerely convinced.
When he saw Cheng Hui making such beautiful furniture before, he was never so impressed as he is now.
It is normal to make good furniture and sell it well, but it is abnormal to sell junk at a sky-high price. Most people can't do it!
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Don't brag yet. In the end, we have to see how many bowls the enamel factory can sell. If their sales are not good, our sales are not good either."
Sun Biao praised: "With you here, how can their sales be bad?"
Cheng Hui smiled and asked someone to bring a bunch of enamel bowls that had been delivered a long time ago. She arranged them in the box, stuffed the customized cardboard slots in, and wrapped some thin silk around the slots to cover the ugly cardboard.
Then put the bowl in and it fits just right.
Perfect.
"Wow~" Gao Zhi and several other little girls started holding the box and exclaimed again.
"Sister-in-law, you originally said that you would sell this bowl for $5 each, and I thought you were dreaming. But with this box as a contrast, I think this bowl is worth $10 each!" Gao Qiao said.
The others nodded, they felt the same way.
Cheng Hui smiled. It was like buying a box and returning the pearl. The role of packaging is so important.
In fact, the ancients understood this principle and had also made silk brocade boxes. However, this era had been plagued by war and poverty for too long. For decades, ordinary people had not seen a brocade box for two generations. Now she has gotten a bargain.
"Everyone can do it, so just get started and do more. Only make 30 large sizes, 50 medium sizes, and small sizes for the rest," said Cheng Hui.
The large box can hold a set of 5 bowls, the medium box can hold 3, and the small box can only hold one.
The others were in high spirits and immediately became busy.
Cheng Hui took the child back to her room to rest.
The next day, she didn't go anywhere, but ordered everyone else to go out, took back the patterns sent by Zeng Gui, selected most of them, and then asked Zhang You to follow Zeng Gui to watch the goods being loaded onto the truck.
Zeng Gui is a small local tyrant. With a big reward in hand, he works very efficiently. Yesterday, he not only contacted two factories and collected several thousand pieces of waste silk, but also found a large warehouse for Cheng Hui.
A bankrupt commune silk factory.
The fabric business is very risky. There are risks involved, such as bad raw materials, problems with the machines, ugly styles, few connections, inability to collect payments, etc. A small commune-run factory would go bankrupt if it encountered any of these problems.
It seemed that he had heard the news. Cheng Hui was collecting waste materials, and Zhang You came back in the afternoon.
"We have collected 200,000 yuan. We have collected half of the waste in Yangcheng." Zhang You said, "They want to sell the other half. Do you want to take it?"
The waste material was 3 yuan per piece, which was too cheap. They collected tens of thousands of pieces for 200,000 yuan, which was enough for them to use for a long time.
But Cheng Hui simply said, "Collect!"
I took out 800,000 yuan to pick up the goods yesterday, and that was only because my bag could only hold 800,000 yuan.
In fact, she brought all her family assets with her when she came to Guangzhou this time.
More than 1 million.
"It's only 3 yuan a piece, we'll take as many as we can." Cheng Hui said, "After we've collected the 3 yuan, we'll take 5 yuan a piece, after we've collected the 5 yuan, we'll take 6 yuan... the highest is 10 yuan a piece, we'll take all their cheap waste!"
It was so fierce that it frightened Zhang You.
"There are too many for us to use..."
"There are many textile factories in the world, but there are definitely not many silk factories. The reason why there is a lot of waste now is because each factory has accumulated a backlog of inventory since its establishment. Once they clear it, they will have to accumulate it for another ten or eight years."
In order to train Zhang You, Cheng Hui explained to him in detail: "We have collected all the cheap materials. When outsiders want to imitate our brocade boxes, they have to buy expensive materials. Even the cheapest materials are 20 yuan per meter and 7 yuan per foot. If they make two brocade boxes, they will lose money. In this way, no one will come to steal our business."
"Oh!" Zhang You suddenly realized that the cleaner the market is now, the more they will earn in the future! Otherwise you have to share it with others.
"After I finish buying in Guangzhou, I will go to other major silk producing areas to check the inventory!" said Zhang You.
"I hope it will be in time by then." Cheng Hui said.
There are many smart people. Maybe as soon as her brocade box came out, someone took action.
There is no cheap silk locally, but there is still some in other places.
Zhang Yougan was anxious after hearing these words. He walked around the room a few times and said, "Why don't we ask Director Sun to help run errands here? I'll go to other cities right now to buy stock! Before the brocade box is released, the more horses we can order, the better!"
They can make a piece of scrap material into a brocade box and sell it for about 200 yuan.
This is all money, money that can be earned by running errands! 3 yuan becomes 200!
If he gets lazy and gives up, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Take two people with you. The Canton Fair will last for a long time. There's no need to rush back. If you can't catch the Spring Fair, there's still the Autumn Fair. You can still gain experience there."
But if you don’t clear the inventory now, someone else will.
Zhang You nodded vigorously: "I understand!"
Since Zhang You wanted to go to other places for a large-scale raid, he had to call for support, and she had to keep some money in hand for emergencies.
Cheng Hui asked someone to invite Yang Yue over.
Show him the finished brocade box.
Yang Yue held the small box in his hands, unable to let it go and kept saying “tsk tsk tsk tsk”!
"Old Song is lucky!" he said sourly.
He hasn't even gone up to heaven yet, but Song Xilai has gone up first!
Originally he was unsure whether those enamel bowls could be exported, but now with the contrast of this box, even a stone in the box could be exported.
"Uncle, I'm going to lend you 500,000 yuan now, and I'll pay you back 800,000 yuan within three months." Cheng Hui said.
Yang Yue was happy: "Okay! You must think of me if something good like this happens again in the future."
Zhang You followed Yang Yue to withdraw money, and then set off with two people from the furniture factory to major silk markets such as Hangzhou and Suzhou.
The next day, Cheng Hui went out again.
This time she didn't go to the silk factory, she went to the garment factory.
She also came to learn about popular styles~
She doesn't copy one-to-one, she modifies it.
She does have a lot of popular styles in her mind, but most of them are popular after the 1990s.
She wants to compare it with current trends and not do anything too outrageous.
For example, if she made the Hanfu that became popular in later generations now, she would be condemned and killed.
Even when jeans first became popular, they were severely criticized in the mainstream media, with one side saying it was freedom of dress, while the other side said it was immoral.
You can't afford to offend her, so just try to do something stable and profitable, don't just be a designer, get a salary, or a house for nothing...
When the garment factory builds a residential compound for its employees, she will have her own way!
Cheng Hui held the child, Gao Zhi held an umbrella for her, Gao Qiao carried her bag, and Liu Di carried the mother's bag. Several of them took a taxi to the Yangcheng No. 1 Garment Factory.
As a result, I met Zheng Manru who had just got off the car at the door.
Cheng Hui smiled.
