As soon as the cloth coupons were cancelled, all the major textile factories in the capital rushed to launch big price cuts on cotton, Dacron, and various other fabrics.
Li Jinfeng, Qi Hesheng and others seized this opportunity and signed contracts with various garment factories for several types of fabrics.
In total, we imported nearly hundreds of thousands of raw materials.
At that time, it felt a bit risky.
But now that I think about it, it doesn’t feel risky at all.
It was easy to make money in the eighties!
"Right now, our clothing store and factory are not well-known. I estimate that the profits will have to go up in the future!" Qi Hesheng said.
Zhao Mingcheng: "But by then, the number of people coming to buy clothes will also decrease!"
Li Jinfeng: "We can raise prices! When wages go up, our clothing prices will go up too!"
In the next few years, the price of raw materials will not increase.
At present, there is a bit of overproduction of cotton and dacron.
The main reason is that cotton has had bumper harvests for several consecutive years, and the production technology of Dacron cloth, that is, chemical fiber cloth, has become more and more sophisticated. It is impossible not to lower the price.
"Anyway, opening this garment factory is the right decision! Once we get orders, we'll expand production!"
Li Jinfeng's clothing factory supplied clothing stores throughout the entire summer.
As soon as autumn comes, clothing stores start selling a new batch of autumn clothes, including sweaters, hand-knitted sweaters, and various coats and jackets.
At the same time, garment factories began producing sportswear again.
And during this period, Qi Hesheng has been recruiting people.
He recruits as many people as the major textile factories lay off.
Some are directly brought in from textile factories, and skilled workers receive an extra ten yuan on top of their original wages.
There is no need for Li Jinfeng to explain how much impact ten yuan had in the 1980s.
Anyway, as the garment factory grew bigger, it started to receive orders.
Basically, what they want are summer clothes for next year, both men's and women's.
There are even people from Shanghai who come here to buy autumn clothes.
With an order, the factory's production line works overtime day and night to try to get it done within the specified time.
Li Jinfeng bought several sets of sportswear styles and also purchased a batch of cloth suitable for making sportswear.
Qi Hesheng found her.
"Sister Jinfeng, the orders our factory receives right now are mainly for summer clothes. What about these coats and pants? Do they have to be produced in large quantities? Can't they be delayed?" Qi Hesheng asked.
"cannot!"
"Can I ask why?"
"Do you know what time next year will be?" Li Jinfeng asked.
“84…”
"Next year, athletes will go to the US to participate in the Olympics. When they do, they will definitely have to wear sportswear."
As far as Li Jinfeng knows, there will be a sportswear craze after the Olympics next year.
"We all like athletes. If they are wearing sportswear, would you like to wear something similar or the same as them?"
"Of course I do!" Qi Hesheng said.
"Others are the same! Our garment factory is a private one, and we can't compare with large state-owned factories. But we also have our own advantages. We can decide what to produce ourselves!
Xiao Qi, if the order isn't too urgent, make the sportswear first. It'll come in handy next fall!"
"good!"
Qi Hesheng is not a fool either.
What Li Jinfeng told him was nothing more than asking him to seize the market.
Indeed, he only found out after communicating with Zhao Mingcheng that the chili factory was initially successful because of Yuanyuan's large-scale advertisement.
