This time, Qian Duoduo placed another order with two clothing factories for two thousand pieces, and even gave one set to each of Abiao and his companions for free. This completely extinguished Abiao's previous secret thoughts.
Unexpectedly, the two thousand pieces of clothing were produced within a week. Qian Duoduo saw the quality of the clothes and wanted to place another order, but the factory managers of both factories said that the original fabric was not enough for production, and even if more fabric was brought in, it would take a month.
This led Qian Duoduo to say that the business world is like a battlefield. If you don't prepare in advance, you'll be bombarded with counterfeit products. So, after looking at the materials that the other party used, Qian Duoduo shook his head. They didn't meet his expectations.
However, in a corner of the warehouse, Qian Duoduo saw piles of woolen fabrics and asked, "Why are these placed here?"
The factory manager said, "These woolen fabrics were bought from abroad, but they are quite expensive. They made one coat, but it didn't sell. The finished products are still piling up in the finished goods warehouse, so they don't dare to touch them anymore."
Qian Duoduo looked at the feel of the woolen fabric in her hand; it was good stuff. She looked at the factory manager and said, "May I see your finished products?"
The factory manager's eyes lit up. During this period, besides the orders from various department stores, their factory had been doing the most orders from Qian Duoduo. This ensured that the workers had work to do and could earn wages. The workers' enthusiasm for their work was high during this time, which really excited the factory managers. The only problem was that Qian Duoduo proposed piece-rate wages, and that no money would be paid if the products were not up to standard, which was a bit annoying.
Because of her high standards, the factory managers saw the workers' strict requirements for product quality and understood why Qian Duoduo was so demanding about the quality of the clothes. When they walked down the street and saw many people wearing clothes from their factory, they felt both happy and emotional. They couldn't produce such clothes themselves unless they had Qian Duoduo's permission.
After seeing those wool coats, Qian Duoduo pulled out a black coat from among them, put it on, and looked at it. He then understood why this coat hadn't sold three years ago.
She said to the garment factory manager, "I can help you clear out these coats, but the price will definitely not be what you expect. I also need to buy the wool fabric in your warehouse at the same time."
When the factory manager heard that Qian Duoduo was buying up the surplus coats, he was overjoyed. However, Qian Duoduo's next words chilled him to the bone. Although the coats were just gathering dust, he hesitated about selling them at a low price.
Qian Duoduo said, "Director Yang, you can consider it. We've been cooperating for so long, and you know my credit. But business is business, and I can't lose money to gain publicity. Of course, you can let these things collect dust in the warehouse."
Factory Director Yang nodded. After Qian Duoduo left, Factory Director Yang discussed the matter with the key personnel of the garment factory. He was a relatively pragmatic leader, but he was also a bit troubled by everyone's different opinions. Everyone had their own reasons, but the products made in his factory really couldn't be sold.
It wasn't until Liu Xiuxiu, the head of the clothing design department, said, "Factory manager, could we buy Qian Duoduo's design drawings?"
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Director Yang sighed inwardly. Finally, he had a more reliable idea. He asked, "Buy her design drawings? Do you think she'll sell them? You know, in the summer, her order volume was almost equal to our total for the whole of last year."
Liu Xiuxiu was just saying it casually; otherwise, if others had suggestions but she didn't, wouldn't she seem incompetent?
The others also looked at Liu Xiuxiu. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Factory Director, it depends on how much these things are worth in Qian Duoduo's mind. Just like she said, business is business. She won't do anything that loses money, but we can't either. But what we're facing now is that these things are worthless if we leave them lying around. They only become valuable when they're in use. But how to make them valuable is something we need to consider."
Factory Director Yang looked at Liu Xiuxiu and thought that she was a talented person. After talking for a long time, she still managed to bring up the problem in the end, without telling a single truth. She had truly mastered the ways of the system!
However, Liu Xiuxiu was right about one thing: those wool coats were worthless if they were kept in the warehouse.
After discussing clothes, they split into two groups. Qian Duoduo took Ah Hu and Xiao Zai, while Lu Yuan took Ah Mao and Ah Hu. They took the train to Fujian Province. Qian Duoduo went to Rongcheng, the capital of Fujian Province, and went directly to the largest department store in Rongcheng.
Ah Hu watched as Comrade Qian had a meal with the purchasing manager of the department store, and then the thousand pieces of clothing they brought were left there in a grand manner. This operation left him dumbfounded. He looked at Xiao Zai, who was silent beside him, nudged him, and asked curiously, "Xiao Zai, tell me, how come Comrade Qian is so amazing? She's the most amazing woman I've ever met. If she weren't dating Comrade Lu, I would want to try it out myself. With a wife like that, you can just lie at home and spend money."
Xiaozai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that Comrade Lu will break your back and legs if you say that?"
Ah Hu's body trembled. He vividly remembered the pain of Lu Yuan's punch. He immediately said, "Oh, I was just talking nonsense." After saying that, he ran to the side, sat down on the steps, and looked at the little bird not far away with his big eyes.
Xiaozai knew that Ah Hu didn't have that much thought in his mind; he was just saying that because he saw that Qian Duoduo was making more money, and he was just being cheeky!
Qian Duoduo came out of the finance department of the department store, carrying a tote bag in her hand. The bag was a bit conspicuous. It seemed that her own farm space was the safest place. However, the two guys who looked like bodyguards were also a problem. She looked up and saw a noodle shop next door, so she told them to wait there while she walked towards the bank next door with the money.
As she approached the bank, Qian Duoduo noticed an alley. She walked back and forth in the alley and realized it was indeed a blind spot. The walls on both sides were high, and the alley was deep. Seeing that there was no one in front or behind her, she threw the money into the farm space, then whistled and walked out with her hands behind her back.
They strolled leisurely into the noodle shop, and Ah Hu and Xiao Zai asked with smiles, "Comrade Qian, are we going back to Guangdong Province today?"
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaozai will go buy the tickets in a bit, sleeper berth, I'm a little tired."
Xiaozai agreed. Ah Hu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. She hadn't done any physical labor; he had carried all the clothes up there. Why was she tired?
