Chapter 153 It’s better to go to school
Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao did not go back either, and lived in Qin Shuang's dormitory.
The managers of Jiali Garment Factory all have single dormitories, all on the first floor of the dormitory building. The dormitories are decorated in a uniform manner. Qin Shuang is particularly fond of cleanliness, and the room is very tidy. Her bed is particularly large, made up of two 1.5-meter-long solid wooden single beds.
Qin Xiuming had lived with her before. After Qin Xiuming left, her bed remained the same. With the extra bed, the room seemed a little crowded. Apart from the wardrobe and desk, there was no room for anything else.
Next door to Qin Shuang lived the head of the Quality Inspection Department, a gray-haired old lady wearing reading glasses. She knew Qin Shuang was on a business trip. When she heard the mother and daughter talking, she came over with a candle and chatted with Chen Guilan: "Director Qin has been really busy these days. I live next door to her, and I haven't seen her for several days. I didn't wake up when she left in the morning, and we were already asleep when she came back in the evening."
"Yeah, she's been really worried sick about those orders," Chen Guilan agreed. "She left at six this morning, saying she was going to Qingyuan to attend a clothing fabric fair. Qingyuan is two or three hours away from here by car!"
"That's right. If this order is finalized, our Jiali Garment Factory won't have to worry about running out of work." Section Chief Wang had already seen the pajamas samples and held up two fingers to Chen Guilan. "The processing fee has been set: two yuan per set. The customer asked Director Qin to help them find the fabrics. The main reason is that the order is so large. I heard it's for one million sets of pajamas, enough to keep us going for several years. That's why Director Qin is working so hard."
"Director Qin, as the sales director, has a really hard time." Chen Guilan was very surprised when she heard that it was one million sets. She knew it was a big order, but she didn't expect it to be one million. Now there are eight assembly lines in the new and old workshops, which means they can produce 20,000 sets a month, and less than 300,000 sets a year, which will take several years.
Who doesn’t like such a big order!
"That's right!" Section Chief Wang had a good relationship with Qin Shuang. Speaking of these things, he felt very sorry for Qin Shuang. "We all say that the entire Jiali Garment Factory is supported by Director Qin alone. Look at that Huang Jiajia, she's always jealous. She's not even as good as Qin Shuang's little finger. It's right that Wu Jie quarreled with her."
Su Jiaojiao went to the bathroom to wash up, then leaned on the bed, drowsy.
She was used to being in her bed, but perhaps because she was too tired, she soon fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, her arms felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and it hurt to turn over. Cutting may seem simple, but it is actually not easy, especially since Su Jiaojiao hadn't done any process work for many years, so her movements required extra strength, and it was not easy for her to persist for half a month.
In comparison, those annoying math problems didn't seem that difficult.
It’s better to go to school!
The weather cleared up the next day.
But it is even hotter than the previous few days.
Su Jiaojiao went to the cutting workshop early in the morning and counted the leather materials. At this rate, it would be finished in three days. As usual, she went to Natus to check her goods. She went early and there were not many people in the workshop. She chatted with Ding Mei for a few words and then went back to Jiamei Garment Factory to continue cutting.
Nat's has been making leather jackets for several years, and most of the workers are skilled.
For leather jackets like hers, it is not a problem to produce thirty or forty pieces a day.
She estimated that this batch of leather could be cut into more than 400 pieces, and all of them would be completed in about ten days. She would then put the finished products in the warehouse of the Jiali Garment Factory and sell them at the Hualian Department Store during the winter vacation. Leather jackets are different from down jackets. Leather jackets are best-sellers and there is no worry about sales. It all depends on how much profit she can make.
If you want to make money, you have to seize the trend of the times.
As long as you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
Ding Mei said that they did not have many orders and were currently making their own designs. If Su Jiaojiao wanted to continue with this order, she would be very welcome. Su Jiaojiao renegotiated the processing fee with her and said that next time she would directly have it cut at Natus and the goods would also be shipped directly to Natus.
She would start school in September and had no time to do tailoring at Jiali Garment Factory. It was not good to always occupy other people's cutting workshops. No matter how familiar she was with Wu Youliang, there had to be a limit.
Ding Mei said that if she had it cut at Natus, the processing fee would be 20 yuan, which she said was a friendly price.
Su Jiaojiao immediately decided to make another batch of leather jackets. After school started, she asked Chen Guilan to come and supervise it.
Thinking of this, she called Du Pengfei again and asked him to send her another thousand kilograms of leather. As for the payment, she would remit it to him through the post office. She had inquired and found that in this era, only postal remittances were relatively popular and simple.
Du Pengfei readily agreed and said that he would still ship the goods to her according to the original price, so she could rest assured.
Su Jiaojiao went to the bank to withdraw 28,000 yuan and transferred it to Du Pengfei.
I made this order before the New Year and I have no money left.
Almost all of her 50,000 yuan savings were tied up in her leather jacket.
These leather jackets can only be sold after another two months when the weather turns cooler.
Chen Guilan still had a bonus of 6,000 yuan, but she couldn't invest it all. She had to keep some for living. She now only prayed that the down payment for Century Jiayuan would be paid later, otherwise she would not be able to afford the down payment now.
With a plan, Su Jiaojiao had a clear idea in mind.
She has been working faster these past two days to clear out the leather materials on hand and ask Natus to produce the finished product as soon as possible. Then, after the trademark application is approved, she will have to go about printing the trademark. All leather jackets are considered qualified finished products only after the trademark is sewn on.
The power went out again in the afternoon.
The electric sewing machine couldn't be used, and everyone was waiting in the workshop. Li Na ran down to help her cut. The electric fan didn't work, and both of their clothes were soaked. Su Jiaojiao felt very sorry and called Li Na back to the dormitory to change clothes. She had to go to Qin Shuang's dormitory to change clothes twice a day, mainly because her cutting room was too stuffy.
At night, the electricity finally came.
The humming sound of sewing machines could be heard again in the workshop.
Li Na reminded Su Jiaojiao: "Don't cut all the leather. You should keep some so that you can use it in case you need to replace the leather."
Su Jiaojiao thought about it and almost forgot about it.
The remaining leather was sent to Natus.
Liu Ming was in charge of the cutting. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Su. I promise to make it well for you. Just treat me to a meal when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when the next batch of leather jackets is finished." Su Jiaojiao knew that Liu Ming wasn't a bad person, he was just talking nonsense. Ding Mei listened and scolded Liu Ming again, "Only Xiao Su wouldn't bother with you. If it were someone else, you would have gone home long ago."
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the people in the workshop were going back to the dormitory after get off work.
Su Jiaojiao is still cleaning the cutting workshop. Tomorrow she will move to Natus and will not come here. As for the fan, she has to carry it with her, as it is not cool in Natus either.
As she was cleaning, she saw Chen Guilan running over in a panic: "Jingjiao, your Aunt Qin, she's in trouble!"
