Chapter 116 Order Matters
"There are so many people signing up today, and Miss Su is so young, it's inevitable that people will misunderstand." Park Minxi smiled and led Su Jiaojiao into the office building, continuing to chat with her enthusiastically, "Since Miss Su is a student, how did you know Director Qin?"
"My mother and Director Qin are colleagues." Su Jiaojiao said truthfully, "Jiali Garment Factory recently hired a new group of people. I plan to make a batch of T-shirts and put them into production with the new group, so I came to take a look at the fabrics."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Park Minxi suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up. "Ms. Su is very capable."
After some friendly negotiations, Su Jiaojiao finally got the same internal price as Jiali Garment Factory. Park Minxi personally took her to the warehouse to check the goods, and specially gave her half a piece of cloth, and asked the driver to deliver the goods to Jiali Garment Factory.
Finally, Park Minxi also gave her two invitations, inviting her and Qin Shuang to attend their company's annual May Day party.
"He invited me last year, but I didn't go. I don't understand Korean, and I'd look like a fool if I went." Qin Shuang looked at the beautifully crafted invitation, put it aside, and asked Su Jiaojiao, "When did you learn Korean? How come I don't know it?"
"I bought a Korean dictionary during the winter vacation because I was interested in it, and learned a few sentences. I didn't expect to use them today." Su Jiaojiao didn't know how to explain it more reasonably. Learning a foreign language and mastering it proficiently cannot be achieved overnight. In her previous life, she studied very seriously for three whole years.
"Actually, the Fenghua Textile Factory's annual meeting is well worth attending. We can get access to a lot of fabric samples and suppliers." Qin Shuang asked casually. Seeing that Su Jiaojiao was unwilling to talk more, she didn't care about these details. She picked up the invitation and looked at it again. "Whether to go or not, we'll talk about it later. If I go, you can go and be my translator, but if I don't go, you are not allowed to go. You are a young girl, don't get involved in those occasions."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily.
Following Su Jiaojiao's suggestion, Qin Shuang promoted Li Na to be the leader of the new team, and Wang Meng to be the quality inspector. Su Jiaojiao was pressed for time, so she had to do it herself. She sat at the sewing machine and made a sample, then handed it over to Li Na. "The sample is very simple. Just like this. Once you have the finished product, just give it to Director Qin for confirmation. While ensuring the quality, we can increase the quantity. I believe these 1,000 T-shirts can be completed in less than a month."
She roughly calculated that the cost of each T-shirt was about five yuan.
The market price of this kind of T-shirt with printed words is between fifteen and twenty yuan. For promotion, she will usually sell it for fifteen yuan. If she makes ten yuan on each piece, she can make ten thousand yuan from this batch of T-shirts.
You can earn about two to three thousand yuan more than buying goods from Liu Wenzhi.
The shipping price from Liu Wenzhi is seven or eight yuan.
Therefore, it is still very cost-effective to make orders yourself.
Of course, she did enjoy some conveniences at the Jiali Garment Factory. For example, printing words was about fifty cents cheaper than outside, and the quality of the printed words was also good, so they basically didn't make any money from her.
Including printing, the processing fee for each piece is only one dollar.
She can't get this price in other factories. Generally speaking, only large orders can get this price.
"Don't worry, we will do our best." Li Na was surprised that Su Jiaojiao not only knew how to read patterns and cut, but also knew how to use an electric sewing machine and even a five-thread overlock machine. Although she didn't look very skilled, she was definitely better than them.
"Tell our team that after we finish the work, I will give one to each of you as a gift." Su Jiaojiao made a one-size-fits-all design, which is a wide and large Korean style. She asked for two colors, white and yellow. The white one is made of pure cotton weft knit fabric, and the yellow one is made of slub cotton fabric. The styles are the same, and the printed words are the same: follow your feeling.
From a distance it looks like fonts, but from a close distance it looks like a black pattern.
Su Jiaojiao is very confident in this design.
The reason why she made a thousand pieces was mainly because Chen Guilan had started working and could not set up a stall to sell goods every day like before. Her time was limited and she could only sell them on weekends. Teacher Zhang was right. She was a student and had to focus on her studies. Although making money was important, it was not as important as studying. She had to prioritize.
As a human being, you can't have everything you want.
What's more, if there are more, the new team will not be able to do it in a month.
Now the entire Jiali Garment Factory is devoting all its efforts to completing this big order from Jiahe Group, and has no time to care about her at all. People should know their own limitations.
Besides, the biggest beneficiary of this order from Jiahe Group is Qin Shuang. She and Chen Guilan must fully support it and must not fall behind.
Su Jiaojiao secretly calculated that Qin Shuang would make at least 100,000 yuan from this batch of orders. The processing fee was normal and nothing could be seen on the books, but Mr. Wu was an old fox and he would definitely give Qin Shuang a kickback, that was for sure.
As for how much the kickback was, she couldn't guess.
The focus is still on procurement. Qin Shuang uses the supplier of Jiali Garment Factory. After years of cooperation, the price is 20% lower than the market price. However, because the order is too large, it is possible that it is 10% lower. If it were her, she would find a textile factory to tailor-make this batch of fabrics to minimize fabric loss. In this way, she can save a lot of fabric costs.
She had thought of it, and someone as smart as Qin Shuang must have thought of it too.
For this purpose, Su Jiaojiao went to the cutting workshop to check the width of the fabric, which was exactly as she expected.
Right now, Qin Shuang’s affairs are their business.
After a busy day, Su Jiaojiao's legs were weak.
She didn't even have the strength to walk, and all she wanted to do now was go back to sleep, she was so sleepy.
Chen Guilan saw it and felt pain in her heart. She told Qin Shuang that she would get off work at five in the afternoon and took Su Jiaojiao back to the snack street. When Chen Xiaohong saw the mother and daughter coming back, she said that it was rare for them to come back early and sent them a few tomatoes, but the skin was broken because they were squeezed at the bottom of the basket and could not be sold, so she asked them not to despise them.
Su Jiaojiao was not particular about food. She chatted with Chen Xiaohong for a few words, thanked her, and then fell asleep on the bed.
The family hadn't cooked in a few days, so there were only a few eggs left. Chen Guilan bought some dried noodles and made tomato and egg noodles. After a busy time, she called Su Jiaojiao to get up for dinner. While they were eating, someone knocked on the door: "Does Guilan live here?"
Chen Guilan put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and opened the door.
The visitors turned out to be her sister-in-law Wang Yunying and niece Chen Mei. The mother and daughter were holding a bag of apples and standing outside the door with smiles on their faces. When Wang Yunying saw Chen Guilan, she warmly took her hand and said, "Guilan, we knew you were in the city a long time ago. We've been wanting to see you, but we weren't able to. Don't blame your brother and sister-in-law. We've been thinking about you!"
"Come in and sit down." Chen Guilan greeted the two of them in a hurry.
Su Jiaojiao had just finished half of the egg noodles in her bowl when she looked up at the two of them and greeted them indifferently, "My aunt is here."
She ignored Chen Mei and continued eating.
What else is there to understand? Chen Mei is here to apologize.
