"Director Li, could you give me five minutes? Whether we're acquaintances or not doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I need to order custom-made uniforms, and these uniforms aren't for any particular organization..."
"Wait a minute, young man." Director Li frowned slightly when he heard Ye Beiping's words and said, "You should know the rules of state-owned factories. We don't cooperate with individual businesses. But I can give you the five minutes you mentioned. After you finish speaking, you can leave. It would be embarrassing if someone asked you to leave."
"OK."
Ye Beiping wasn't angry that Director Li interrupted him. After all, he was at a disadvantage now, so he needed to negotiate. Only by negotiating could he make a judgment.
"Director Li, it's like this, perhaps you've heard about the leather shoes from the Jiangnan Leather Factory in Hangzhou recently? That's what I'm making."
"hiss!"
Factory Manager Li instantly lost his composure, then realized something was amiss: "You're saying you made these products? Didn't the Jiangnan Leather Factory go bankrupt, and then..."
Factory Director Li wasn't stupid to be able to take the position of factory director.
I immediately understood.
With the economy opened up, countless ways to make money have emerged.
It takes skill to sell goods just by setting up a facade.
Immediately, Director Li's gaze towards Ye Beiping changed, and he instantly remembered where he had seen him before: "You used to sell leather shoes at the intersection of our state-owned factory area, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Ye Beiping chuckled, but still finished speaking: "Although I am a sole proprietor, I have already planned to open a chain store. It will be a store that combines clothing and leather shoes. I have already applied for the business license, and now I want to find a clothing factory to cooperate with."
"Of course, the clothing we need is all designed by ourselves. We don't need traditional work clothes or anything like that. So, Director Li, if it's convenient, I can show you the design drawings."
Now, Factory Director Li was even more uneasy.
I didn't expect the young man in front of me to have even produced design drawings, but he was still thinking about the Jiangnan Leather Factory.
It hasn't been long, and the young man in front of me is already thinking about opening a shop, and has even prepared the business license.
This shows that they did indeed make money in the leather shoe business.
"Ahem." Realizing he had been lost in thought, Factory Director Li coughed sheepishly. "Take that out and have a look."
"good."
Just as Ye Beiping was taking out the design drawings he had prepared in advance, Factory Director Li took a sip of tea and asked, "Since you plan to open a shop, how much stock do you plan to buy?"
He doesn't really believe a store can sell that many clothes.
Qiaosi Garment Factory may not be large, but its output is not small. Although business has not been very good recently, it is really too lazy to produce ten or twenty pieces at a time.
Ye Beiping took out a stack of blueprints, which were crooked and messy, but the general shape could be barely made out.
When the drawings were handed to Factory Director Li, he answered truthfully: "We plan to open ten chain flagship stores in five districts of Hangzhou, so regarding the quantity, I plan to order one hundred pieces of each style of clothing for the first batch."
One hundred items?
Factory Director Li nodded slightly, saying that it was neither too little nor too much.
But when he opened these drawings, his first reaction was disdain; they were crooked and messy.
I was indeed captivated at first glance.
When you look closely, you can't take your eyes off it.
There are ten styles in total, five for men and five for women.
Two of them are even matching couple outfits.
Seeing Director Li's expression, Ye Beiping smiled inwardly. It seemed this matter could be discussed.
After what seemed like an eternity, Director Li finally looked up, picked up one of the design sketches covered in red flags, and asked, "Is this the Five-Starred Red Flag?"
“That’s right.” Ye Beiping glanced at it and nodded in agreement. “Director Li’s outfit is a symbol of patriotism, and it’s an autumn outfit. Besides the red on top, there are also some words on the back.”
Factory Director Li then realized what was happening and glanced at the picture on the other side. Several large characters read: "Love My China!"
"Great, great, great!" Factory Director Li was overjoyed.
After all, he is a veteran, and seeing such a symbol of patriotism makes him happy.
Seeing how happy he was, Ye Beiping smiled and explained, "Director Li, these pictures all carry some patriotic symbolism, especially this couple's outfit."
"Matching outfits?" Factory Director Li was taken aback, as this was the first time he had heard this name.
Looking at the drawings Ye Beiping pointed to, there were two sets of clothing, one for men and one for women, which were somewhat similar but not identical.
It does resemble the term "couple outfits" to some extent.
Factory Director Li pointed to the pattern on it and asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, this represents the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. There are also words on the back: 'Love my China,'" Ye Beiping explained with a smile.
"Very good. Using the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers to represent the love of you young people is excellent."
Factory Director Li liked it very much at first glance, but frowned slightly and said, "But why is this garment crooked all over?"
This made Ye Beiping feel a little embarrassed.
I'm not a professional myself; I only drew a rough outline.
"Director Li, I'm not a professional drafter. Your factory's designers will need to redesign this based on the drawing. I only provided a concept."
