Chapter 132: Don’t want to spend money but still want to get married?
Chen Xiaohong soon discovered that selling clothes could make money faster than selling vegetables.
She prefers selling clothes to selling vegetables.
Sometimes on weekends, when Su Jiaojiao was at home, Chen Xiaohong would take some clothes to her to sell. She was addicted to selling and said more than once that after moving into Century Jiayuan, she would change her career and follow Su Jiaojiao to sell clothes.
Su Jiaojiao said it was no problem and promised that she would purchase goods again next time and cooperate with Chen Xiaohong.
With the help of Chen Xiaohong, Su Jiaojiao's more than 1,000 T-shirts were sold out in June, and not a single one was left. Chen Xiaohong complained that she did not make enough and said she should make more.
Su Jiaojiao struck while the iron was hot and called Liu Wenzhi overnight, asking him to send her a batch of pure cotton short-sleeved shirts. Liu Wenzhi's shipping price was nine yuan per piece, and the quality was okay, but there was no printing on it, and it was not the kind of wide and big ones, but more like a slim fit.
She still sold them to Chen Xiaohong for 15 yuan each and gave Chen Xiaohong a commission of 2 yuan.
All in all, she only made four dollars per piece.
But this batch of short-sleeved shirts obviously didn’t sell as well as her batch of T-shirts.
A maximum of ten pieces can be sold per day.
If you want to make money, you have to have good products.
According to Chen Guilan, only 60,000 sets of work clothes were distributed, leaving 40,000 sets.
The main reason is that the apprentices in the new workshop can't do much, and the main force is still the four old assembly lines. Now all the assembly lines have become more and more skilled, and the number of returned products has become less and less. Su Jiaojiao estimates that this order can be completed in two months.
Just two months later, Su Jiaojiao could no longer take orders at Jiali Garment Factory.
Chen Guilan said that the orders received now have been scheduled until the end of the year, and Jiali Garment Factory is no longer accepting orders.
No matter how familiar Su Jiaojiao and Qin Shuang are, it won't work.
Jiali Garment Factory belongs to Old Wu’s family, not Qin Shuang’s.
Over the weekend, Su Jiaojiao took Chen Guilan to the hospital for a physical examination. They underwent gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The results showed that everything was fine and there was no problem. Su Jiaojiao was relieved. Chen Guilan said that she was spending money indiscriminately and that she was in good health!
For Su Jiaojiao, she is willing to spend any amount of money. As long as Chen Guilan is in good health, she will be motivated to do anything.
After returning from the hospital, Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Guilan to go back to the snack street to rest for half a day. She went to the Jiali Garment Factory to ask for leave for Chen Guilan, and went to the workshop to chat with Li Na. Su Cuicui happened to be there too.
Su Cuicui was much more cheerful than before. When she met Su Jiaojiao, she was more affectionate than before. The two sisters sat in the workshop office and talked. Since Su Cuicui was promoted by Chen Guilan, she was transferred to the Quality Inspection Department as a merchandiser and had more free time.
She came to the Jiali Garment Factory to do printing, and brought two handmade cosmetic bags she made to Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao: "I made them myself, you can put some vanishing cream or something."
"Thank you, sister. It looks great." Su Jiaojiao put away the makeup bag with the kitten portrait on it. The two of them chatted and talked about their families. Su Cuicui told Su Jiaojiao, "Don't worry about your family. I'll visit you every time I go back. I'll tell you if anything happens."
Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao are busy these days and have no time to return to the village.
"My mom and our aunt had a fight and stopped communicating, so the house is much quieter now." Su Cuicui would ride her bicycle home when she was not busy. No place could compare to her own doghouse, and she was glad that she didn't have to go to her aunt's house to have to deal with people's faces anymore. "Second uncle and Gao Meifeng didn't go back either. Last time I heard, they had a big fight over the betrothal gift, but my second uncle still compromised and agreed to give Gao Meifeng a betrothal gift. Our grandmother even scolded my second uncle, saying that he was a coward and that if he had to pay the betrothal gift, he might as well have remarried Second Mother."
"They're dreaming!" Su Jiaojiao sneered, "There's no way my mom will go back. Even if she does, they'll have to pay the betrothal gift."
Don’t want to spend money but still want to get married?
There are not so many good things in the world!
"The main reason is that Gao Meifeng has an unmarried younger brother who's idle and carefree all day long. Gao Meifeng's mother wants to use the betrothal gift to marry her son!" Su Cuicui lowered her voice and said, "Gao Meifeng's younger brother is 25 or 26 years old and doesn't have a proper job. He worked in our factory for a few days a few days ago and left because he was tired. A man like him can't get a wife even with the betrothal gift."
"Then your second uncle is the one who has been taken advantage of!" Su Jiaojiao found it ridiculous when she heard it. She said that the Gao family needed the money to help Gao Meifeng's brother get married, and then let Su Houli pay for it. It was interesting.
"Who said it wasn't?" Su Cuicui said angrily, "I just don't understand what my second uncle likes about Gao Meifeng. How is my second mother inferior to Gao Meifeng?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to listen to their messy talk. She only cared about where her next order would be placed. Su Cuicui knew that she didn't care about this, so after chatting for a few words, she said she was going to the packaging workshop to get the printed words back.
After seeing off Su Cuicui, Su Jiaojiao went to find Li Na and asked her if she had ever worked with leather jackets before. Although Li Na was a recent graduate, she had taken practical classes at the fashion school. "I did an internship at school to identify leather materials. My mother makes leather jackets in my hometown, and I worked as a caseworker for her."
A case worker is an assistant.
Leather jackets are different from ordinary fabrics. When making leather jackets, every seamstress needs to be followed by a desk worker, that is, an assistant. After the leather jacket is seamed, glue needs to be applied on both sides and then hammered flat before proceeding to the next process.
There are several seamstresses working on knitwear, and one desk worker is only responsible for walking back and forth to get the work.
The cutting of leather jackets is also different from that of ordinary fabrics.
Ordinary fabrics are made by laying hundreds of layers of fabric on a large cutting table, with the pattern drawn on the top layer, and then cut uniformly with a cutting machine.
Because leather jackets are made of leather, each piece will have color differences during the production process. When cutting, the tailor needs to cut out the entire garment from a piece of leather, and then mark a uniform serial number on the back of the leather with chalk.
When the sewing workshop is making leather, they will look at the serial number on the back of the leather. Leather with the same serial number is a complete leather jacket.
Once you take the wrong one, it is easy to cause color difference.
The processing fee for leather jackets in Li Na's hometown is similar to that here. The processing fee for a leather jacket generally fluctuates between 30 and 100, depending on the difficulty and the value of the leather. In other words, if the cost of the leather can be controlled within 100, then for a leather jacket with a market price of around 300, you can still make more than half of it, or even more.
The main thing is that it sells well!
Su Jiaojiao called Liu Wenjie to ask about the price of leather. Liu Wenjie said that leather jackets are popular now and leather is expensive. He said that the reason he didn't make leather jackets was because local leather was more expensive than other places. He also said that in order to solve the cost problem, he had to purchase goods from other places, and the plain cloth sewing machine at home had to be replaced with a special leather sewing machine.
But Liu Wenji offered her a source of goods: "My brother-in-law is working on leather materials in the provincial capital and is a leather material transfer station. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. The price is 30% to 40% cheaper than ours. The premise is that you have to transport the goods yourself, or find a local processing factory to do it for you."
The provincial capital is more than 500 kilometers away from Jiaoxian.
She was unfamiliar with the place and it was impossible for her to do anything there, so she had to be brought back.
In other words, she needs to go to the provincial capital.
But she didn't have time, and even if she knew the source of the goods, she would have to wait until summer vacation.
A week before summer vacation, Su Jiaojiao took time to visit the Natus Leather Factory next to the Jiali Garment Factory.
She wants to place this order at the Natus Leather Factory.
The boss and his wife are both locals, and they are honest and gentle.
Their factory building was made of iron sheets, where cutting, sewing and packaging were all done together. It was said that he rented the land from the public, but since he had no ownership, he could not build a brick house on it.
As soon as you enter the factory, the pungent smell of leather mixed with glue hits you in the face.
Su Jiaojiao choked and cried.
Before Su Jiaojiao could speak, the proprietress recognized her and said, "I saw you at the Jiali Garment Factory. What's going on?"
Other people in the workshop also looked over.
The young man from the cutting department even whistled at her: "Girl, are you here to see me? Come in and sit down!"
This caused the young girls and wives who were sewing to burst into laughter.
