Chapter 708 I have a small request
Cheng Hui checked the several plastic dolls that Dai Chuan brought, which were smaller versions of plastic models.
We clearly gave them the drawings before and asked them to make it according to them, even with the dimensions, but the other party's craftsmen always made changes without permission!
Because it was made according to the drawings, people nowadays find it a little hard to accept because it is too bumpy.
Arms are arms, legs are legs, and breasts are breasts. In their eyes, this is simply pornographic stuff!
The first ones we made had straight arms and legs, and were simply shoddy.
The second time, there was no breast, no gender.
The third time I lost my waist...
The fourth time of great ugliness...
After being scolded by her, I revised it to the eighth version and finally it was acceptable to me.
The material is the best civilian plastic available in the country. The details are also well made. It is not prickly, the joints can be easily moved, the facial features are delicate, and the wig is also made of good material.
"Just barely qualified." Cheng Hui said.
After saying that, he called Song Eva over and asked her to take out the small clothes that she and several female employees had made in the past few days.
This is Bian Xiumei’s favorite job, and she has made more than 20 pieces by herself.
It was also the first time that Cheng Hui saw it, and she almost laughed out loud at first sight.
She has drawn 10 versions of Barbie doll clothes, but received a basket of them. Apart from these 10 versions, the others were all created by the employees themselves.
She saw the old military uniforms, Lenin suits, rustic shirts and trousers that people wore nowadays, as well as some of the most common clothes worn by rural people, which were still patched! And a headscarf!
She became interested and put them on a few dolls. She immediately felt "eyes brightened" and found it quite interesting.
Dai Chuan wanted to laugh but was also worried: "Can this be sold?"
Cheng Hui asked, "Who made these? They are well made. Are they specially made like this?"
Song Yiwa said, "It was made by Aunt Bian. We said it didn't look good at first, but she said that's what she wanted. But she just made it for fun, and she also said it would definitely not sell."
Cheng Hui nodded. It might not be sold now, but maybe in the future.
"I have kept these for myself." She said, "I will give these dolls to you later. You can make clothes for them when you have nothing to do. If you design nice clothes and they are selected by the toy factory, you may even get a bonus."
She looked at Dai Chuan.
Dai Chuan was also a smart man, and he immediately said, "Of course, of course. If this doll sells well... how much should the reward be... Can you give it to the staff?"
He is now completely confused about the future. He feels that his only hope depends on Cheng Hui's reputation. He has no idea what the market is like, and he has no idea how much bonus to give.
"Let's talk about it after the autumn trade fair." Cheng Hui smiled and said, "It's really not appropriate. There are so many toy factories in the world."
Dai Chuan...is under pressure!
Song Yiwa was standing nearby and was very happy. She interrupted and said, "I think this doll will be very popular in the market. Not only will children like it, but even we adults like it very much. We want to make some small clothes for them when we have nothing to do."
To make up for the gaps in their childhood. They didn't have the conditions when they were young, but now they have them because of high salaries.
Dai Chuan is an old straight man. Even though he is the director of a toy factory, he only knew about cars and pistols. Changing clothes for dolls really piqued his interest.
He muttered: "How much fabric would be wasted? Most people can't afford it..."
With so much cloth, wouldn’t it be great to use it to patch things up? Make clothes for dolls? I don’t have any clothes yet!
Cheng Hui reminded: "We are going to export this, not sell it domestically yet."
Otherwise, this look would really challenge some people's nerves, and she was afraid that someone would criticize her in the newspaper.
I don’t dare to name her directly, but I have to criticize the toy factory.
Dai Chuan reacted and laughed: "Oh, oh, oh, I forgot! Foreigners have money and cloth, maybe it will work!"
Cheng Hui took off her rustic little clothes and put on the gorgeous princess dress she designed. In an instant, the blonde and blue-eyed little doll became beautiful. It’s not certain whether adults like it or not, but children like beautiful things, so there will definitely be a market for it.
Dai Chuan was finally relieved, and the only thing left was how to bring this thing into the venue.
"I thought about putting it in my pocket at first, but then I thought that might not be possible, as it would be bad if I was caught by the inspector."
He felt that Cheng Hui would definitely not let him take one or two dolls and put them in his pockets. He had to take a bunch and arrange them into shape, right? Their toy factory only sent one person to participate in the Canton Fair this time, so the pocket is not that big.
As for including it in the export list they reported, that is also not allowed. Those who are not on the list will be kicked out.
What I thought was a simple question turned out to be the most difficult one, even harder than making a model with my eyes closed!
Dai Chuan asked, "Does Director Cheng have any good ideas?"
Cheng Hui felt that even if this factory survived this crisis, it would eventually go bankrupt. What could it not do?
But she has come this far, and if she doesn't pull them up completely, she will be useless.
As for whether they can stand on their own, it depends on themselves in the future.
Unless, they let her be the factory manager.
"What are you exporting this year?" Cheng Hui asked.
"A big plastic doll and a plastic tumbler, that's it." Dai Chuan said.
Although he was the director of a toy factory in Beijing, their factory was not outstanding among toy factories across the country. They just picked two products and exhibited them together with other toy factories, occupying a booth as a token of their respect.
What if some ignorant person takes a fancy to her? Bah, bah, bah. What if a distinguished foreign businessman takes a fancy to her?
It really existed in the past! However, they are all toys related to handicrafts, made of wood, straw, rattan, etc. They rarely export "serious" toys.
People really don't like it, mainly because there are no blind people attending the Canton Fair.
Dai Chuan's eyes fell on the dolls standing in a row on the table. Each one was so beautiful, like a little princess from a fairy tale.
The more he looked, the happier he became. This time he was afraid that others were blind and couldn't see it!
Cheng Hui asked: "What are the sizes of the dolls and tumblers you are exhibiting at the Canton Fair?"
Dai Chuan gestured as he spoke: "It's this big. The doll is about 30 centimeters long, 15 centimeters wide, and 13 centimeters thick. The tumbler is 15 centimeters high and 12 centimeters wide at its widest."
Cheng Hui said: "Plastic doll, hollow?"
Dai Chuan said: "Well, hollow..."
He thought of something.
"Yes, open the big doll's belly and put the small one in. When others ask about it, just say that this is how it was designed," said Cheng Hui.
Dai Chuan...is this ok? It seems like there is nothing wrong with it, of course!
He said happily, "I'll go back and ask them to make some changes. Director Cheng, should we also start production in advance? How much should we produce?"
Cheng Hui said: "No hurry, there are still many details to discuss, such as the doll's clothing. One doll has 10 sets of clothes. Do you use the styles I designed?"
"Ah, yes, we'll use the one you designed!" Dai Chuan said, "Of course we can't let you work in vain, we'll pay you for the design! How about 100 yuan for one set?"
Seeing that Cheng Hui didn't smile, he immediately said, "200, 200 is fine! 2000 for 10 sets... Of course, compared to your contribution, this is indeed a little less, but we really can't afford more now. Also, the secretary of my factory may not agree..."
The old secretary never showed up. He didn't think highly of Cheng Hui and felt that every job was different. Cheng Hui was good at making food and machinery, but definitely not at making toys.
Otherwise, she knows everything? Are you going to heaven?
Especially after seeing the "explicit" dolls that Cheng Hui asked them to make, the old secretary scolded her behind her back for a long time for being indecent... and never wanted to show up in public again.
So he felt that he definitely could not approve too much money for Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I just can't bear to see ordinary people suffer. You said your workers are in trouble, so I will help them if I can. I won't charge any money or design fees."
so good?
Dai Chuan smiled and said a lot of words of gratitude.
Cheng Hui said: "But I have a small request..."
