Chapter 234 It's time to give Shan Xianxian a surprise.
Dai Duo was stunned for a long time before she understood what Cen Yan was talking about. "You, you mean you're going to engage in speculation and profiteering? If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, you're just a tailor, someone who makes clothes. You don't know anything. Even if someone comes to your door, just honestly say that you're making clothes for people in exchange for cloth coupons and food coupons. The law enforcement team can't do anything to you. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it, pretend I didn't say any of this."
Cen Yan could understand that people nowadays consider speculation and profiteering shameful, and if caught, the whole family would lose face.
Therefore, Dai Duo's rejection was within her expectations.
But Dai Duo didn't intend to refuse, because she had been unemployed at home for more than a year, and the neighbors were gossiping. That was secondary. The important thing was that she was too tired to support the whole family on her father's meager salary and also to support her younger brother's vocational school education!
She wanted to do everything in her power to supplement the family income, so when Cen Yan said that, her aversion to speculation and profiteering was not so strong.
"I'd be happy to make clothes for you, but even if my mom and I worked day and night, without sleeping or eating, we couldn't possibly finish making a thousand trench coats before the winter solstice!"
Dai Duo paused, then suddenly whispered, "Comrade Cen, do you mind if I collaborate with someone else? If he joins, completing a thousand trench coats before the winter solstice shouldn't be a problem."
"I only care about quality. I can give you thirteen yuan for the cost of each trench coat. How much you make in that is up to you."
Dai Duo clenched her fist, her mind beginning to waver. She knew exactly how much fabric and how much time it would take to make a trench coat.
If we disregard labor costs, the material used in the trench coat costs at most six yuan. With more waste, the maximum cost would be seven and a half yuan.
With a cost of thirteen yuan, she can earn nearly a third of it! After giving the discounts to others, she only needs to earn three yuan per trench coat. With a thousand trench coats, her profit can reach three thousand yuan!
Dai Duo's breathing became slightly rapid, and her gaze towards Cen Yan was burning with intensity, as if she were on fire.
Cen Yan knew she was tempted, so she reached into her pocket and took out a yellow croaker about the thickness of her little finger from her spatial storage.
"In addition, I don't have many fabric coupons, so you'll have to find your own fabric. If you're willing to cooperate, we can sign a contract now, agreeing to pick up 1,000 trench coats by the winter solstice, and that my trench coat design drawings must not be leaked for a short period of time. This is the deposit."
Little yellow croaker! This was the first time Dai Duo had ever seen a little yellow croaker in her life. The hard texture felt like it was burning her palm, and she was so scared that she quickly hid it.
“Sign! Sign a contract! Comrade Cen, no, Sister Cen Yan, I’ll do anything you ask as long as I can make money!”
She didn't want her father to work so hard in the factory, working three shifts just to earn a few extra dollars each month!
Cen Yan listened to Dai Duo's almost vow-like voice, signaled her to be quiet, and then found paper and pen to write a contract on the spot. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints on each other.
"Okay, you can keep the deposit for now. I'll give you my company phone number later. If anything comes up, just let me know. I'll take this trench coat for now and come back tomorrow to pick up the down jacket."
Seeing that the trench coat could actually be made, Cen Yan had even more confidence in the down jacket and thought she would come to the Dai family again tomorrow.
Now that she had finished discussing the trench coat collaboration with Dai Duo, she thought it was time to give Shan Xianxian a "surprise"!
Otherwise, wouldn't she have to swallow the bitter pill of being falsely accused of cheating in the exam?
