"We have the machines, the cotton, and the workers. We will definitely have enough cloth to sell."
"It's settled then, let's talk about it then.
Director Fang, when do we leave tomorrow?"
"I see they usually leave at five o'clock."
They have business dealings with the department store in Hu City, and many of the shiitake and straw mushrooms they grow are transported to Hu City for sale.
Because Hu City was too far away from them, they had to set out before dawn so that they could transport the goods to Hu City before noon.
Shen Annian nodded, "Okay, just call me when the time comes."
"You haven't told me how much these shoes cost?"
"I reckon a pair would be at least thirty dollars."
Director Fang stared at her with wide eyes, "So expensive?"
"How can it be expensive? Aren't leather shoes sold on the market 20 or 30 yuan a pair? Why can't our shoes be sold at the same price?"
The shoes she designed use various elements such as splicing contrasting colors, ropes, pointed toes, rivets, etc.
Although it looks very low-key, it has changes and is much better looking than the old-fashioned leather shoes on the market.
"Okay, let's talk about it then. If they think it's too expensive, we can negotiate the price.
Go and prepare first, and then try to negotiate the price."
Shen Annian went back to think about it and started some preparations.
The next morning, she was half asleep when she heard someone calling her.
She didn't want to get up at all, so she turned over and was about to fall asleep again.
Qin Zhengqi felt reluctant to let her go when he saw how sleepy she was, but she had important things to do and had to get up early.
"Wife, you have to get up now. If you don't get up, I will have to go to Hu City by myself."
When Shen Annian heard what he said, his mind slowly came to its senses.
By the way, she still has to go to Hu City today.
I took out my watch and saw that it was already 4:42.
Last night she told Qin Zhengqi to wake her up at this time, but she didn't expect that he would actually wake up at 4:40, which was even more punctual than the alarm clock.
She put on her watch, slowly put on her clothes, went to the yard to wash her face, and became completely awake.
At five o'clock in the morning, the truck arrived at the door on time.
Shen Annian got in the car and followed it to Hu City.
I don’t know if it’s because of the mother-daughter bond, but as soon as she left Lele, she started making a fuss and woke up Kang Kang. The two little babies started crying loudly at the same time.
Qin Zhengqi could take care of one but not the other, and he couldn't coax either of them.
Finally, it was Qin's mother who was woken up and came over to help comfort the child. "What's wrong? Why is the child crying like this?"
"I don't know what happened, the child suddenly started crying."
Mother Qin saw that Shen An Nian was not in the room and said, "The child probably knew that Nian Nian was going on a long trip and was reluctant to let her go, so she threw a tantrum."
"How could such young children know that their mother is away on a business trip?"
"How could I not know? Children are the most intelligent. They must be able to sense that Nian Nian is going so far.
The children just can't bear to leave their mother, so they cry."
Mother Qin patted Lele gently and said, "Don't cry, dear. Your mother is out doing something and will be back in the evening. Lele, don't cry."
Lele slowly stopped crying under the gentle coaxing of Qin's mother.
When Lele stopped crying, Kang Kang also stopped crying.
They arrived in Hu City at around ten o'clock in the morning and went directly to the largest department store in Hu City.
The mushrooms needed to be counted and put into storage, so Shen Anyian and Director Fang went to the department store to find someone.
They first went to find the salesperson at the clothing counter and asked her to help take them to meet someone.
When the salesperson saw Director Fang wearing a military uniform, he took them to see the director.
The salesperson went into the office first and said something. After a while, he came out and said to them, "You guys go in."
Shen Anyian knocked on the door and walked in. Looking at the middle-aged man sitting at the back of the office, he greeted him with a smile.
“Hello, Director Chen, I’m Shen Anyan from the Third Regiment Winery of the Agricultural Reclamation Division, and this is Director Fang from the Quartermaster Department of our Third Regiment.”
Director Chen didn't expect their director to come in person. He stood up and said with a smile, "Comrades from the army are here. Please take a seat."
Shen Annian: "Thank you, Director Chen."
Shen Annian and Director Fang sat down. Shen Annian took out his leather shoes and explained his purpose.
Director Chen looked at the leather shoes she brought over and examined them carefully.
The leather shoes she took out were of excellent quality and very exquisitely made.
What’s even more eye-catching is that these leather shoes are different from the shoes on the market. They have more variations and better-looking styles.
Seeing that he was looking at those leather shoes very carefully, Shen Annian told him all the details of these shoes and how they matched with the clothes.
Director Chen: "How do you plan to sell these shoes?"
"Our price here is thirty dollars a pair."
Director Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It's too expensive. Not many people can afford it at this price."
The purchase price is 30 yuan, so they have to sell it for at least 32 or 33 yuan to make a profit.
How many people can afford such expensive shoes?
Shen Annian: “Leather shoes are not cheap, and I know you have some concerns.
How about this, we'll leave the shoes with you first, and you can take them out to sell and see how they go.
We have two ways of cooperation. One is that your department store helps us sell shoes. For each pair of shoes sold, we give your department store a commission of one yuan.
Another way is that you place an order and we will charge you 30 yuan per pair of shoes. Is that okay with you?"
