Chapter 709 Isn’t it enough that he surrenders?
Dai Chuan said: "You say, you say."
Cheng Hui said: "This doll is better in terms of clothing. Do you want your own workers to make these clothes? Or do you buy the finished products directly from a clothing factory?"
Dai Chuan hesitated for a moment. He had not considered this issue carefully before. He felt that if the number was small, it would be more cost-effective for his own workers to do it, as they were all idle and about to rust.
But Cheng Hui must have her reasons for asking this.
"It depends on the order volume. If it's large, I suggest buying the finished products directly from the garment factory. A set costs 5 yuan." Cheng Hui said.
"This is too much!" Dai Chuan said immediately.
The doll is the size of a palm, and the material used is only the size of two palms. One foot of cloth can make 10 sets!
The starting price of a foot of cloth is 20 cents. Of course, there are more expensive ones, but he doesn't use the expensive ones.
"Look, this yellow material is 2 yuan a foot. This pink material is very good, it's made of silk, 17 yuan a foot. This purple one is also made of silk, 25 yuan a foot..." Cheng Hui introduced them one by one.
Anyway, there is no cheap one, basically they are all made of expensive materials.
But she used leftover materials, and the price was only 30 cents per pound.
Dai Chuan had already started to breathe in, but he did not doubt Cheng Hui's words.
He knows the goods well and found out after careful inspection that it was really silk. Who hasn't been to a department store? Haven’t you bought it or asked before? It’s just that expensive.
He was the one who was completely different. The toy dolls produced in their factory were all made of plastic and did not wear cloth clothes. They only made a few plush toys occasionally and bought the good materials directly. They never thought that there would be any scraps.
"Well, 5 yuan for a set, 50 yuan for 10 sets, how much does this doll cost? I'm afraid foreigners can't afford it." Dai Chuan said.
Cheng Hui said: "I'm talking about 10 sets of small clothes, a total of 5 yuan."
"Oh!" Dai Chuan said immediately, "That's cheap, really cheap! Okay, we can buy ready-made ones!"
He had just heard about a bunch of cloth costing more than 20 yuan per foot, and suddenly he was told that a set was only 50 cents. He instantly felt like he had made a great deal!
He also understood that this was a delicate job. Each set of clothes used at least four kinds of fabrics. It would be too troublesome for him to purchase dozens of high-end fabrics and make them himself.
He also had to purchase sewing machines, and there was the problem of defective products.
"Then let me recommend a factory to you, Harbin No. 1 Garment Factory. I am the deputy director of that factory." Cheng Hui said.
Don't be afraid to tell him!
This matter cannot be hidden, they should all know it.
Dai Chuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that he really knew it, but he just hadn't thought of it before.
It turns out that she didn't want any design fees, and in fact she helped him so much just to attract business for her factory... This factory director is so dedicated!
"Okay, okay, then I don't know how many sets you should order, Director Cheng, just decide. But for this money, I can only pay a deposit first. It's not that I don't want to pay all, but the factory really is struggling to make ends meet." Dai Chuan said.
Cheng Hui said: "I understand. We can settle the bill after the Canton Fair. I will negotiate with the higher-ups. It's just a matter of a word."
Given her current relationship with the leaders of the Canton Fair, they would even transfer the payment directly to her after the money arrives, without worrying that Dai Chuan would default on his debts.
Besides, it was a planned economy, and how money was allocated was decided by those above, so Dai Chuan’s words basically had no effect.
Seeing that the matter was discussed, Dai Chuan was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have a small suggestion..." Cheng Hui said.
Dai Chuan..... "You say, you say."
Cheng Hui signaled to Song Eva, who immediately went out and quickly brought a large cardboard box and opened it.
Cheng Hui said: "We can't just put these dolls on display like this. They are too simple and low-class. They need a package that matches their status."
She took the packages out of the box.
Flat, big white paper boxes, pink paper boxes, and blue paper boxes.
The upward side is made of transparent plastic so you can see what's inside.
Cheng Hui opened a box and found a cardboard with 10 grooves inside.
The dolls are placed in the middle and the clothes are placed around it.
She picked up a box of small pins on the table and pinned the clothes on one by one, then closed the box.
Suddenly, the exquisite doll had its own packaging, which made it more advanced.
It can be sold at a good price.
Dai Chuan took the initiative to ask: "How much is this box?"
"One dollar each." Cheng Hui said.
Dai Chuan felt a little distressed and still felt that it was a bit expensive.
One dollar now is an ordinary person’s daily wage, which is equivalent to one or two hundred dollars in later generations. You only buy a packaging box. Do you think it is expensive?
"I dare say the quality of this paper box is world-class. There is only one paper mill in China that can produce it. Only the boxes they produce are high-end and can catch the eyes of foreign businessmen and highlight the value of this doll." Cheng Hui said:
"Also, you don't need to worry about the cost, as long as you can sell it in the end and earn foreign exchange."
Now the country is willing to sell at a loss in order to earn foreign exchange, as long as it can exchange domestic products for foreign exchange! Even if I have to lose some money, it’s fine!
There is a severe shortage of foreign exchange.
Dai Chuan thought so and nodded, "Okay!"
He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "This paper mill and you..."
"I am also the deputy factory director." Cheng Hui said.
Dai Chuan...got it! Just one word: convinced! Is that not enough?
But he still thought of another question: "So how much does this doll cost? The cost of the plastic is 20 cents... Is it better not to mention it?"
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I still have to add more. I plan to sell them for 5 dollars each."
The current exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 2 RMB.
5 US dollars is 10 yuan.
Dai Chuan looked at Cheng Hui, then at the doll in the box. Spend 10 yuan to buy a doll?
It’s hard to sell a doll that big at one dollar a piece!
Will foreigners buy it even if they have a lot of money?
Forget it, it’s right to listen to Director Cheng!
It's not his fault that it can't be sold...
He was about to leave again, but Cheng Hui stopped him.
"There's one thing I haven't said yet..." Cheng Hui said.
Dai Chuan... "You say, you say!"
