Chapter 273 Signing the Contract
Although it was a suburban area with few people living there, the three of them quickly found the glass factory thanks to the kind directions given by people along the way. They were reminded, "The last bus back home leaves at 5 o'clock. You have to go there early to wait for it, otherwise you'll miss it and have to stay here overnight."
Staying overnight was definitely not an option. After all, I had classes early the next morning, and everyone would be worried if I didn't go home that night. So I quickened my pace and walked to the front of the glass factory. I saw an old man at the gate and asked, "Uncle, is your factory director here?"
The old man looked over and saw three little girls. He didn't take it too seriously, but still asked, "What do you want from the factory manager?"
"We want to cooperate with Changchang."
cooperate?
The old man was puzzled. What kind of cooperation could these three little girls come to discuss? Isn't this just nonsense? But the factory's profits have been not very good recently. What if it can succeed? If I drive them away, it would be a sin.
The old man looked at the three of them uncertainly for a few seconds, then said, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and tell them."
"Yes, sir."
The old man walked towards the factory director's office. The factory director was a little tired at this time. The factory's profits were getting worse and worse. If he couldn't get any more business, he was afraid that next month's salary would be in trouble. But he had been out for work before, but it didn't make much difference at all.
Just as he was feeling upset, he was interrupted by the doorman knocking on the door. The factory director looked towards the door and said, "Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"
Uncle Xu nodded: "Yes, there are three little girls at the door who said they want to discuss cooperation with you."
The factory manager asked in confusion, "Little girl, or three?"
Uncle Xu confirmed: "Yes, it seems that they are not fooling around. Why don't you go and take a look."
The factory director gave up on himself. "What kind of cooperation can we have with this little girl?" He stood up again and said, "Forget it, let's try it out. Maybe she really is the savior of our factory. Let's go."
The factory director stood up and walked out with Uncle Xu. He saw three young girls at the factory gate and felt disappointed. The little girls were really little girls. There was nothing wrong with the description.
The two walked to the door, and Uncle Xu introduced them: "This is the factory director."
The three nodded and greeted the factory director: "Hello, we are here to seek cooperation with you."
The factory manager also noticed the three people's serious expressions, as if they were not joking, and immediately introduced themselves: "My last name is Liu. Please follow me in and sit down to chat."
Wang Qiong nodded, "Okay." It was normal to go in and chat. Whoever was chatting about business would go to the door to chat.
After the three of them entered, the factory manager poured each of them a glass of water and placed it in front of them. Then he sat down and asked carefully, "What do you want to order from me?"
Wang Qiong took out four sheets of paper drawn by Ye Qian from her bag and handed three of them to Director Liu: "I want to order these three things. Can you make them?"
The factory manager took a look and nodded, "We can make it." Then Wang Qiong handed the logo to the factory manager and asked, "If I add this logo under the three items I want to order, is it okay?"
The factory manager smiled and said, "Of course, it's very simple."
After hearing what the factory director said, the three of them smiled at each other. Wang Qiong continued to ask, "I wonder what the price is for custom-made items here, because the invoice we want has the capacity marked on it. The price should be different for different sizes." Wang Qiong asked clearly according to what Ye Qian taught him. The price should be different for different sizes.
Many factory managers are unaware of the detailed issues within their factory, but this is just a small factory. As a factory manager, he has to worry about everything, so he is also very clear about the price. Wang Qiong added: "The three special parts I gave you don't have covers. Can they be covered?"
"The lid is a bit complicated." After all, it is made of glass, and it is difficult to find a way to prevent it from leaking. The bottle is okay, just use a wooden cork, but the glass bowl is not so easy to do. The factory manager is a little worried that this business may fail because of the lid, and he has a headache for a while.
Seeing the factory director in a dilemma, Wang Qiong immediately said, "Let's first discuss how to sell the ones that haven't been built."
When the factory manager heard that it was okay even if there was no cover, he immediately perked up and said, "How many do you want to order? The more you order, the cheaper it will be."
"I can't order too many for now, probably only 500 of each." Wang Qiong pretended to be annoyed and said this. This was naturally the evidence that Ye Qian taught her. When others heard it, they thought she might order again, and the price should be able to be lowered.
It was just as Ye Qian expected. When the factory manager heard that each item was 500, and these three items were 1,500, it might be a small order for others, but for a small factory like theirs, it was a lot. It could at least last them two months. After these two months, he could also think of other ways to go.
The three men were now practically like gods of wealth in the eyes of the factory manager, but business was business, and the price had to be negotiated honestly. After much deliberation, the factory manager decided, "How about this: cups and small bowls are 30 cents each, and large bowls are 50 cents each."
Seeing the three people were hesitant, the factory manager was worried that the business would be lost, and said, "We are a small factory, and we are only offering sincere prices. We can't go any lower on the price." The factory manager felt a little regretful. He gave such a low price directly. He should have offered a higher price to let them bargain, but he was afraid of what would happen if they accepted it directly. Alas, everything is determined by fate. If he really can't do it, it is the fate of this factory.
But in fact, what the three of them were thinking was, Oh my God, it’s so cheap, they spent a thousand yuan, but they didn’t expect it could be done for 550.
Seeing that the three people still didn't say anything, the factory manager gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, the cups and bowls are 2.5 cents each, and the bowls are 40 cents each. It can't be lowered any further."
This left the three of them stunned. They were just a little slow to react and didn't expect the price to be lower. When they were wondering whether they should reconsider it, Wang Qiong saw the factory director's expression and knew that it was probably the lowest price and it probably couldn't be lower.
The factory manager really thought so. This was already the lowest price he could offer. If it was one cent less, their factory would lose money. Even if they didn't make any money, they couldn't lose money. Otherwise, why would they open a factory? Besides, there were so many people to support.
Wang Qiong thought for a while and agreed directly: "Okay, this is the price, let's sign the contract."
Director Liu thought the three of them would need to think about it a bit more, or perhaps talk to their parents at home, but he didn't expect them to make the decision right away. He asked, "It's almost done. Before we sign the contract, I still want to make it clear that we'll need a 50% deposit. Of course, we'll ship a batch to you in advance, and we'll charge you the other half."
