Ruan Suhe was muttering to himself while writing and drawing with the pen in his hand almost flying.
It took several minutes to finish the sketch.
"It's too late, let's turn off the lights and go to bed."
Lu Zhengxiang had already coaxed the two little ones to sleep, and seeing that she was not about to go to sleep yet, he walked over to persuade her.
"Zhengxiang, look at this, do you think this style can be sold in Beijing?"
"What is this? A shirt? But why is it half cut?"
Lu Zhengxiang took a look at the drawing in her hand and felt that it looked like clothes but not like clothes. Anyway, it looked a bit out of place.
"You don't know, I went to a bookstore today and saw someone wearing this, it looked pretty good. Do you think if Zhang Liting and I make this together, will the sales be explosive?"
"Really? That should sell a lot, but I think the buyers are probably younger, like grandpas and grandmas who prefer to wear looser round collars."
...
...
Although Lu Zhengxiang was not sure whether the sales would be good, he thought that young people would buy more.
"You're right. Since Zhang Liting and I want to open a clothing factory, we have to start with the younger generation. Young people have greater purchasing power, so our opening event will not have a small impact."
She was very surprised that Lu Zhengxiang's unique insights coincided with hers. She had already imagined the grand scene of the opening of the garment factory in her mind.
"Don't worry. Opening a business requires careful preparation. Every step needs to be carefully considered to make sure there are no mistakes. Don't think about it. It's getting late. Get some sleep today so that you can use your brain more tomorrow."
Lu Zhengxiang knew that she was too eager to make money and would easily overlook some details, so he reminded her in a low voice.
She was a person who listened to advice, so she turned off the lights as he said, lay down and thought about it, and fell asleep unknowingly.
In the morning, Ruan Suhe was the first to wake up, and he was very energetic and looked very lively.
After she finished making breakfast, when Lu Zhengxiang came back running and set breakfast with her in the living room, the two children woke up.
The mission had just been completed these two days, and Lu Zhengxiang could take a break for a while, so Ruan Suhe planned to let him teach the two children some knowledge in the textbooks.
Lu Zhengxiang did not object. His job required him to go on missions frequently. Once he was away, he would not be able to return home for at least ten days or half a month, and at most a year or two.
Ruan Suhe was creating an opportunity for him and his child to be together, and he didn't want to miss this time to enhance the father-son and father-daughter relationship.
Seeing that he was not unhappy, Ruan Suhe knew that this matter should be confirmed.
She had breakfast, rode her bike to the address of the new garment factory with her manuscript before going to work.
"Eh? Su He, why are you free to come here?"
"Sister Ting, I have a new idea and I am anxious to discuss it with you, so I came directly to the factory."
Seeing her excitement, Zhang Liting guessed that there must be some good news, so she quickly put down the work in her hands, nodded at her, and motioned for her to continue.
"It's like this, Sister Ting, take a look at the sketch first. This 'fake collar' is a new popular outfit in Shenzhen recently. It's said that one costs several yuan."
"I thought that if we take advantage of this trend and seize the opportunity, the effect would be better if we bundle this 'fake collar' with our clothes for sale."
Ruan Suhe told her his plan without stopping and waited for her nod.
"Bundled sale, you...are you planning to give it away as a gift?"
"Giving it away for free is not an option. The cost is too high. We will lose more money at the opening event. I don't recommend it."
After the last 'one-stop' sales event, she knew very well that Ruan Suhe liked to give away things or provide free services to attract customers, so her first reaction was to refuse.
"No, Sister Ting, not all events are suitable for giving away gifts. The discounts for our opening event are already big enough, so there is no need to give away gifts to attract those customers who like to take advantage of small bargains."
"My intended bundled sale is to encourage customers to buy clothes worth more than fifty or one hundred dollars and add two dollars to exchange for this 'fake collar'."
"Don't worry, I will never let us do business at a loss."
After she finished speaking, she patted her chest and made a promise solemnly.
"That... is fine, but I'm afraid we'll have to buy another batch of fabric, and it'll cost a lot of money again."
Although Zhang Liting has some working capital, she also hopes to keep as much as possible.
"Sister Ting, you don't have to worry about this. I went to Aunt Cai to deliver the clothing design draft before, and Aunt Cai told me that the state-owned textile factory has been laying off employees recently. Some people's wages could not be paid and they were all offset with fabrics."
"Not only can we recruit people to work here, but we can also buy the fabric at a lower price than the market price."
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows, looking a little proud.
"You, you, you knew about this and you didn't tell me earlier. You made me worry for nothing."
After listening to her explanation, the stone in Zhang Liting's heart was instantly removed, and it seemed as if everything in front of her eyes became bright in an instant.
"Hehe, shouldn't Sister Ting know me? I won't publicize anything that's not 100% certain."
Ruan Suhe just received a light slap on the head from Zhang Liting.
"In that case, I'll post the job posting. You can go to Aunt Cai and ask if there are any laid-off workers from the textile factory who are willing to work in our factory."
"By the way, I still need you to coordinate the fabric for the 'fake collar'. I need to keep an eye on the installation of the machinery in the factory recently, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be finished by the opening day."
Zhang Liting was indeed a little tied up, so the matter fell directly into Ruan Suhe's hands.
"Okay, I'll pass on the message. As for the fabric, I'll also go and negotiate the best price I can get. I'll come back to you to apply for it then."
When it comes to something like opening a business, of course the best situation is for two people to work together and support each other.
After the two of them reached an agreement, Ruan Suhe rode her bicycle to the alley in the courtyard to find Aunt Cai.
Aunt Cai is busy making her custom clothes with her old sisters.
"Aunt Cai, good news. You and the girls from my aunt's family who were laid off by the cotton mill have jobs. My boss has agreed to let the girls apply for the positions."
After Ruan Suhe locked her bicycle, she suddenly rushed in through the gap in the door curtain, scaring the old ladies so much that their hearts skipped a beat.
"Hey, kid, you're making a fuss every day. Aren't you afraid that you'll scare us old ladies?"
Aunt Cai patted her chest, trying to comfort her little heart while complaining about her.
"What did you just say? The girls have jobs now?" After realizing what was happening, he was surprised and happy, and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, yes, my boss is going to post a job posting, but there will be a small test so that the girls can be mentally prepared."
