No, I don’t know anything about running a dance hall. I don’t have the ability of Boss Zhao to develop multiple businesses. I’d better stick to my clothing business.”
Ye Li finally understood the purpose of Zhao Ziming bringing her to the dance hall. She looked at the people dancing in the dance hall, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
If it was really as profitable as Mr. Zhao said, how could he be willing to bring me in? If one more person joins the partnership, he will have to share more of the profits.
Zhao Ziming was not in a hurry when he saw Ye Li did not respond to him. He immediately changed the subject and started talking to Ye Li about the clothing business.
"Boss Ye, I heard that your factory has started to expand. Will the output double after the expansion?"
"Yes, for sure. And after the factory expansion is completed, I don't plan to sell cloth alone anymore. I will sell all ready-made clothes. After all, the profit from selling cloth alone is too low."
Ye Li's words made Zhao Ziming's eyes light up, and he quickly said: "This is a very good idea! This is how I do foreign trade. You still remember that I bought a lot of cloth from you before. I always found a processing factory to make clothes and sell them abroad. But there is a disadvantage. If the design of the ready-made clothes is not good enough to catch the eyes of foreign customers, then the loss will be much worse than selling cloth!"
Zhao Ziming was telling the truth, he suffered the same loss last time. He originally thought he would make a fortune, but the last two batches of clothing designs were not accepted by the foreign market and sales were dismal. In the end, he had to pay for all the losses himself.
"So, we must keep up with the trend in order to be invincible. Boss Zhao, you invited us here this time. In addition to apologizing to us and inviting us to the exhibition, are there other things?"
...
...
Hearing Ye Li's question, Zhao Ziming looked at Ye Li and laughed out loud.
"Haha, nothing escapes Boss Ye's eyes. I do have one more thing to ask of Boss Ye this time. It's just that I don't know how to say it." Zhao Ziming still likes Ye Li's cleverness. It's easy to deal with smart people.
Ye Li smiled after hearing what Zhao Ziming said. He had done so much preparation before, how could it be difficult for him to speak?
"Then I'll tell you." Zhao Ziming suddenly sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, "I just signed a big order with a client. This order is too big. I can't handle it alone. So I thought of Boss Ye again. I hope Boss Ye can help me get the order."
Ye Li's guess was right. Because of the previous broken promise, Zhao Ziming was afraid that Ye Li would refuse this cooperation, so he tried his best to please them, in order to show his sincerity and hope to cooperate again.
"So how do we cooperate?"
Ye Li wanted to hear how Zhao Ziming arranged this cooperation.
"How about we split this order into two parts, you take one part and I take the other part?"
Zhao Ziming does not have enough funds to process all the ready-made clothes.
"Not good. The two batches of clothes produced in this way will be very different, and the quality cannot be guaranteed." Ye Li shook his head, disagreeing with this approach.
"What does Boss Ye think?" Zhao Ziming wanted to hear Ye Li's opinion.
"If you ask me, I will make all the orders."
"What about me! Boss Ye, you can't eat alone, right?" Zhao Ziming was unhappy when he heard this. He originally wanted to cooperate, but who knew that Ye Li wanted to take all the orders for himself.
"Don't be anxious, Boss Zhao. Listen to me and then decide whether to accept my proposal."
Zhao Ziming patiently listened to Ye Li's story and found that her ideas seemed to make sense.
"How is it? It's better than you and I fighting alone, right? This way we can keep the cost of each garment to the lowest. The higher the profit left for us."
"Moreover, we are really like grasshoppers on the same rope. We prosper together and suffer together!" Zhao Ziming had to look at Ye Li differently. Her courage and wisdom were indeed not to be underestimated.
Fortunately, at this moment he and Ye Li are partners, not competitors.
"Okay! Then I'll do as you say. At the exhibition the day after tomorrow, I will personally take you to meet our customers. Introduce them to the strong support behind me!"
"Okay. Boss Zhao, happy cooperation!"
In this way, Ye Li and Zhao Ziming finalized a large foreign trade order in the dance hall.
"It's a pleasure working with you! I'll bring the contract over tomorrow!"
Zhao Ziming said this as he raised his drink and clinked it with Ye Li's.
After the matter was settled, Zhao Ziming was in a very good mood. He explained to Ye Li many interesting places in Hai City and said he would take them to visit.
"Boss Zhao, since everything has been settled, there's no need to spend so much money to entertain us. I have my own plans for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Boss Zhao, please let us do as we please."
"Okay! Since Boss Ye has spoken, then Zhao will respectfully obey your orders, haha."
Soon, the dancing trio came out from the dance floor. All three of them had blushes on their faces and were very excited.
"Sister Ye Li, it's really fun if you don't go and dance." Zhou Lin felt sorry for Ye Li as she looked at her lack of interest.
"No, it's getting late. We should go back." Ye Li glanced at the time and it was already late.
"Okay. Let's go back to the hotel then."
After returning to the hotel, Ye Li took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing.
"Sister Ye Li, aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhou Lin danced in the dance hall for a long time and was already exhausted and wanted to sleep.
"You go to sleep first. I want to think about something."
It was late at night, and the lamp beside Ye Li's bed was still on. At this moment, her brain was extremely excited, and countless good ideas collided in her mind. She wanted to record all the ideas at this moment, and then realize her own business empire according to these ideas in the future.
The next day, Ye Li and Zhao Ziming signed the contract.
Although the two had disagreements when signing the contract, in the end Ye Li's opinion won out as it was more in line with the interests of both parties.
"People say that we are good at business, but I find that Boss Ye is even smarter than us!"
Holding the contract, Zhao Ziming couldn't help but admire Ye Li's business ideas.
"There's no such thing as being smarter. It's just that we all make money together. Although my boss Zhao and I seem to be in a game of bargaining, we are actually in a relationship of mutual assistance. Without Boss Zhao, we wouldn't be able to get the foreign orders. And without us, Boss Zhao wouldn't be able to get this batch of clothing supply at a low cost. So there's no need for our two companies to squeeze each other's profits. As long as the profit is higher than cooperating with others, then we are a win-win situation!"
"This is the first time I've heard of the concept of win-win. If I had known this, I would always maximize my own interests in business and try to minimize the profits of the factories that supply my products to ensure that I can get better returns. It seems that I have to change my thinking."
Zhao Ziming found that only Ye Li's cooperation model could last long.
"Sister Ye Li, there's a call from the hotel front desk. It's urgent. It's from the factory!"
Zhou Lin hurriedly ran up from downstairs to deliver the message to Ye Li.
