While they were waiting, Factory Manager Tan brought over all the receiving slips!
The process at the second textile factory was relatively standardized. In some smaller textile factories, the warehouse entry clerks basically wrote everything by hand!
The second textile factory chose to print it, and it was even stamped with the company seal.
Seeing this list, Louis felt much more at ease!
He randomly selected several bolts of cloth from the warehouse, and they all met his requirements and were of excellent quality!
However, his satisfaction was not outwardly apparent!
Tan Songjiang, who had been watching his every move closely, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Louis's slightly furrowed brows!
Afterwards, everyone arrived at the office and saw that they had even cleaned the reception room neatly, which made Louis even more satisfied!
He was exhausted after a long day and didn't want to beat around the bush, so he said directly, "Your products are good, but they haven't met my expectations."
Furthermore, Beijing also has several large textile factories with superior textile technology compared to yours, which is beyond doubt.
So if you show them this design drawing, I believe what they make will be no worse than what you make!
However, I have also seen everyone's sincerity. Besides, with Mr. Lu acting as the middleman, I cannot be a person who breaks his word.
Okay, if we can negotiate the price, I can buy all of this fabric!
In addition, we will place another order!
Wen Sihe sat to Louis's left, essentially providing real-time translation.
In an instant, the once quiet reception room became noisy.
The deputy factory director frowned and looked at Factory Director Tan: "Factory Director Tan, we don't know the specific price."
We only found out this morning; I don't even know the basic quote. How am I supposed to negotiate a lower price?
Factory Director Tan had some doubts when he thought about his son's quote!
The son quoted twelve yuan per meter. You should know that they originally intended to sell this batch of fabric as defective fabric!
This batch of fabric is special, and coupled with its complicated processing, its price is approaching that of Dacron.
The price of ordinary cotton fabric is basically four yuan per meter.
Make the defective fabric a little cheaper!
They supply this kind of fabric to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the cooperatives sell it to others for only eleven yuan!
The price of a flawed fabric is around 6 yuan!
This immediately doubled the amount, so Tan Songjiang's heart was pounding.
However, he couldn't show weakness in front of everyone: "I wonder what price Mr. Louis thinks would be appropriate?"
Louis thought for a long time before finally uttering a number: "10 yuan. If it's reasonable, I'll place a large order later!"
Tan Songjiang was secretly delighted; he hadn't expected the foreigner to bargain so little!
Despite thinking this, he still looked troubled: "Mr. Louis, we're afraid we need to discuss this price!"
Louis shrugged nonchalantly: "Of course, just give me an answer by tomorrow morning!"
He turned to look at Lu Zhiye, his expression changing completely: "Lu, shall we go and take a look at that unique little square?"
Tan told me that there will be different kinds of snacks available at the stalls in the evening!
Louis was a complete foodie. After eating Chinese food, he felt like he had been eating grass like a cow before.
Lu Zhiye was speechless. How come he hadn't realized that Louis was this kind of person before?
However, Louis didn't haggle too hard this time, out of respect for Lu Zhiye, so Lu Zhiye didn't refuse.
When Louis and his group left, and Director Tan and the deputy director returned to the office, everyone in the office was as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
"Factory manager, a price of 10 yuan is something we never even dared to dream of!"
Normally, I sell these defective fabrics for 6 yuan each, and I can still make a profit of 1 yuan!
"Now it's doubled! Our factory won't have to worry about food for the next year!"
The deputy factory director was all smiles; he had previously opposed manufacturing this batch of fabric.
After all, it's expensive and the target customer base is relatively small!
I never expected this little foreigner to like it so much!
The head of the finance department rolled his eyes: "Don't be too happy yet. These people aren't stupid. They must have inquired about the supply prices of the major supply and marketing cooperatives before they came!"
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. They scattered some money between their fingernails, and people rushed to inquire about it for them!
Most importantly, the exporter bears all the tariffs on exported products!
In other words, after deducting costs, our factory also has to bear the tariffs for this batch of orders.
When goods are transported to the dock, there are not only port charges and trucking fees, but also sea freight costs.
Some exporting factories also purchase insurance, but this is negligible!
No industry is perfect right now, including insurance!
Everyone fell silent. Their factory had never exported anything, so they naturally didn't understand these things.
The deputy factory director swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Is the price high or low?"
After deducting costs, can the remaining profit cover expenses?
"Have your department calculate it quickly. Even if we don't make 50 cents per meter, we can at least break even!"
The head of the finance department nodded: "I'll arrange for someone to calculate it right away."
Factory Director Tan also regretted that he should have asked his son to quote a higher price!
That way, even if Louis tries to bargain, he won't offer too low a price!
Meanwhile, Louis, unaware of all this, followed the group with great interest!
They spent almost the entire afternoon touring the factory; apart from a short time sitting in the meeting room, their feet were constantly on the move.
So Louis was so hungry that he ate a roasted sweet potato as soon as he arrived at the small square.
Xiao Dong knew what Louis did for a living, and absolutely refused to take his money!
She even specially took a few roasted chestnuts and stuffed them into his hand!
The sudden, scalding hot chestnut made Louis shake his hand frantically.
"Oh, what is this?"
"These are chestnuts. We usually use them to cook porridge, or roast them directly. There's also a very luxurious way to prepare them: roasting them with sugar!"
As Wen Sihe spoke, she took a chestnut from Xiao Dong's hand, broke it open, blew on it twice, and put it in her mouth.
Louis copied her and stuffed a chestnut inside!
He nodded as he ate, saying, "The taste is indeed very good, soft, glutinous, and sweet."
"When you leave another day, please bring me some more so my father can try some."
As they were talking, Louis spotted another stall with a huge pig's head on it!
"Oh my god, is this stuff edible?"
He hadn't seen the stall when he arrived at noon!
The stall owner, who was scooping braised meat out of the container, chuckled when he saw the foreigner: "Take a look, have a look?"
