Lu Zhiye went to the garment factory to pick up a large batch of goods on the first day. Director Ge was all smiles. When their sample garments were first made, neither Director Ge nor Master Hou were optimistic about the batch of clothes!
After all, the design is what it is, and it doesn't look like a trendy style at all!
Nowadays, most clothes are in black, white, gray, and blue, and denim jackets are very rare!
Not to mention the large quantities of jeans and sleeveless women's vests. Normally, when women walk on the street, the clothes they make at home usually reach their elbows.
Where is this kind of exposure possible??
Therefore, when Lu Zhiye said he wanted all of these sample garments and would place a large order in the future, Director Ge was both happy and troubled!
The good news is that the factory has received another large number of orders!
The problem is, if these clothes don't sell, they won't get any more orders from this easygoing boss for a long time!
For nearly two weeks, the factory where Director Ge works has been producing clothes at full speed!
There are also a few gray and black cotton-padded coats. In winter, everyone wears bulky clothes. This long cotton-padded coat has a waist-cinching design and a one-piece hood at the back!
Although it looks great, Director Ge thinks the price is too high!
The ex-factory price is over 40 yuan, and with labor, transportation, and other costs, the basic price will reach 50 yuan!
Add in the profit, and this cotton-padded coat would cost at least eighty or ninety yuan.
That's equivalent to more than a month's salary for a worker in an average working-class family.
No one would be willing to buy a cotton-padded coat like this!
At least Director Ge felt that he himself was reluctant to part with it!
Before this batch of cotton-padded clothes left the factory, Director Ge even took one and tried it on himself a couple of times!
Master Hou sat to the side drinking tea. He had been in charge of the pattern making for this cotton-padded coat, and the fabric used was the latest waterproof material.
It's expensive, but it's filled with real cotton!
The hat and neck area were originally designed with a zipper!
But nowadays, zippers are much more expensive than buttons!
After considering the cost, Lu Zhiye chose to use buttons instead!
The neck area needs to be kept warm, so Master Hou spent a long time figuring out where to put the hat to maximize its warmth-keeping effect!
He looked at Director Ge's clothes and nodded in satisfaction: "They do look well-fitting, they even cover your big belly!"
Comrade Lu said, "If you won't let us ship to other partners, can I make a set myself from the factory?"
"However much was spent in between, just deduct it from my salary!"
Director Ge's eyes lit up. This was a great idea. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Master Hou, could you make two sets of patterns for me too?"
My wife and I each own one?
Master Hou glared at him: "No way! I'm the tailor in charge of this business, I have the right to make myself a set!"
But without Comrade Lu's permission, I cannot wear it outside the factory.
Not to mention they even set out a set for outsiders!
When Comrade Lu arrives, let's ask for his opinion. If he doesn't mind, we can get one made.
So when Lu Zhiye came to pick up the goods, he didn't refuse when he heard their question. He nodded and said, "Of course, but you two should think it over carefully!"
The amount of cotton filling I used was set based on the climate in Beijing.
The climate in Zhejiang Province is very different from that in Beijing, so the amount of cotton used will definitely be less than half!
Whether this style will be able to hold its own then is hard to say!
You two need to think this through carefully!
Director Ge slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, I forgot about that!"
We were being presumptuous!
Mr. Lu, this is our first batch of goods. Please check them!
All goods are manufactured by me. If you have any problems, please come directly to me!
If any one outfit is defective or of substandard quality, I'll give you a full refund!
It has to be said that in this era, garment factories were under very strict control!
Unlike later generations, many women's clothing items were poorly made and looked terrible!
Saying the product doesn't match the description is giving them too much credit!
Lu Zhiye was very satisfied with Director Ge's attitude.
"I've already spoken to the train station staff. You can just arrange a car to take you there!"
When I need the second batch of goods, we can contact each other directly by phone!
"Alright, Mr. Lu!"
And so, Lu Zhiye returned to Beijing with a large shipment of goods.
Yan Wenqing's clothing store is completely finished. Lu Zhiye returned a week later than originally planned, and the clothing store has been empty for this week!
People coming and going kept glancing at this place!
Some people think that the boss must have run out of funds, resulting in a lack of products!
Some people think that the boss is holding back a big surprise, coming here three times a day just to see what styles will be available!
The fact that the opening was delayed by a week has actually aroused even more curiosity!
Before boarding the train, Lu Zhiye confirmed the train's arrival time and arranged for two trucks to come over!
Having just arrived in Beijing, one temporary worker after another walked into the train station!
The bundles of clothes were stacked up to be as tall as a person, but these temporary workers, used to doing manual labor, didn't find them particularly heavy!
"Hey buddy, what are you carrying on your back?"
A man smoking at the back door of the train station asked curiously!
The young man was covered in sweat, but he chuckled and said, "The shopkeeper said it was clothes, so it's not heavy for me to carry!"
"Just send it to the big truck at the door!"
"Oh my, there are probably countless garment factories in Beijing that have made this kind of clothing, yet it was still shipped from another place?!"
Is this boss out of his mind?
The young man smiled but didn't reply. Those were his bread and butter, and no matter how wrong they were, it was not something a laborer like him could question!
The man smoking darted around, his eyes darting about: "Judging from your appearance, you probably don't know the boss, right?"
"We don't know them. We were just looking for work in the market and were temporarily pulled here!"
I get paid per item; I get 50 cents for each item I carry. And you, comrade, you're blocking my way!
"I'll lose 50 cents every time I go back and forth!"
The man smoking trembled slightly. Good heavens, he'd seen this man make five or six trips back and forth just now, easily making over a dollar in his pocket!
This is much more than what he earns from doing odd jobs!
The man stubbed out his cigarette and walked over to the man standing by the truck with a grin: "Boss, boss, do you need any more workers?"
"I can carry big bags too? I don't need five cents, four cents will do!"
These words drew angry glares from the others!
Actually, the young man who had spoken to him earlier wanted to slap this guy twice!
I tried to talk to you out of kindness, and you turned around and smashed my bowl, huh?
The man showed no fear whatsoever; his smile deepened.
The soldier looked the man up and down and said, "We don't have much stock left inside, so we don't need anyone for the time being!"
Judging from your clothes, do you usually work in the warehouse?
