Chapter 180 If you want to make money, you have to be busy
There is still a great atmosphere when celebrating the New Year at my second uncle's house.
Steaming, frying, braising, boiling, pan-frying, roasting, pickling and smoking are almost all used.
Chen Guisheng also built a temporary stove in the yard, which he used to cook pig heads and bones. The firewood was burning all day long, and the air was filled with smoke.
There are all kinds of delicious food every day, and Su Jiaojiao feels like she must have gained five pounds.
Perhaps because there were so many people around, Xu Yue'e was in a good mood and recovered quickly. Every day she steamed buns and cooked with Chen Guilan, doing endless housework and talking endlessly, and they were busy from morning to night.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan are responsible for cleaning, lighting the fire and looking after Xiao Suisui.
Chen Guisheng was busy chopping firewood and cleaning the yard.
They were busy during the day, and only at night did Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan have time to count the fabrics and talk about clothing.
Chen Juan has been making clothes at home for more than half a year. It's hard work, but she has also tasted the sweetness: "Luckily, my aunt helped me sell the inventory, otherwise, my goods would be stuck. I calculated that I made 2,000 yuan in the past six months, which is better than what I made delivering seafood."
The main reason is that she is slow at home and she also has to cook and do housework.
During the busy farming season, we still have to work in the fields.
She is very content with this income.
At least, the money from these devices was earned.
"After the New Year, we will buy goods from the Mocheng Clothing Wholesale Market to save costs. We can just make half of the profit from each piece of clothing." Su Jiaojiao felt that she earned a lot. On average, an income of 300 yuan a month was already very good.
Don't forget, she doesn't work day and night.
She just makes this money in her spare time.
"Jingjiao, actually, I'm not worried about making clothes. I'm worried about selling them, mainly because I don't have the time." Chen Juan expressed her inner distress. "Look, I go to the market and I'm gone for most of the day. My mom and Xiao Suisui are at home, and I'm worried. Why don't we work together? I'll make the clothes at home, and you and Auntie will be responsible for the sales. We'll split the profits 50-50."
"Okay, then we'll start our cooperation next year." Su Jiaojiao agreed without hesitation. "However, the machinery and equipment are all yours. It wouldn't be fair to you if we split them 50-50. How about this? I'll give you a market wholesale price, and it's up to me to decide how much I sell in the city."
Although there is a saying that relatives should not share money, and if they do, they will stop having any contact with each other, but if we look at it from a win-win perspective, we can still cooperate.
If we have a dispute and stop communicating because of these things, there is nothing we can do.
However, Su Jiaojiao would not consider these things. People live in the present and take one step at a time.
"That's great." Chen Juan knew Su Jiaojiao would agree to her. She also knew that partnerships were not easy to do, so she said seriously, "Jiaojiao, if there's anything I haven't done well, just tell me. Our goal as sisters is to make money. Don't let yourself lose money just to help me. If that happens, I'll be very sad."
"I know what you mean. We can only go long-term if we win together. As long as we trust each other, it will be fine." Su Jiaojiao knew that Chen Juan was more honest than her, so honest that she felt she was a hypocritical person.
But communication is everything.
As long as the communication is good, there will be no problem.
Su Jiaojiao helped her design a loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt. The two of them made samples overnight. With Chen Juan's speed, it was almost finished around May 1st, and it was just right for sale at Hualian Shopping Mall.
The wholesale price of a short-sleeved shirt made of this kind of fabric is nine or ten yuan. Su Jiaojiao charges her ten yuan, and Chen Juan makes about five yuan. She can sell it for about fifteen yuan in Hualian Shopping Mall.
Although it looks like a 50-50 split.
But the nature is different.
Chen Juan’s wholesale profit is fixed, but she may not necessarily earn five yuan. Sales mainly depend on market conditions.
If the merchants around her are selling for twelve or thirteen yuan, twenty-five yuan or two pieces, she will have to lower her price too.
If the market is not good, it is possible that you will lose money.
Of course, if the market goes up, she can make more money.
So, how much she earns depends on the market conditions, but Chen Juan is guaranteed to have a stable income regardless of market conditions.
Chen Juan was indeed very diligent. She cut out the sample paper that very evening, laid out the fabric overnight, and finished cutting.
She said the cutting machine was too noisy, so she had to finish the work quickly while Xiao Suisui was still asleep.
There were still three days before the Chinese New Year. Chen Guilan and Xu Yue'e had finished everything they needed to do. Chen Guilan had not returned home to visit her family, so Xu Yue'e, who had not been out for a long time, accompanied her home.
I happened to meet Su Cuicui in the alley. Su Cuicui heard that Su Jiaojiao had not returned from Chen Guisheng's house, so she quietly ran over to play with Su Jiaojiao. Looking at the yard full of New Year's goods, she was very envious. This is what the New Year is like.
The New Year's goods they prepared were not even half of what others had.
Feng Yuefen was very unhappy when she knew that Su Houli was going to bring Gao Meifeng and her daughter back to celebrate the New Year. She said that they were shameless and ungrateful, and had not even bought proper New Year's goods.
Because of this incident, Xu Yuxiang had a quarrel with Feng Yuefen. Feng Yuefen was so angry that she asked Su Houli to pay back the money, saying that if he paid back the money, she would go to buy New Year's goods.
The New Year is approaching, but the atmosphere at home is very heavy.
Xiao Suisui fell asleep, and Chen Juan and Su Jiaojiao had nothing to do, so they sat in front of the sewing machine and worked. Su Jiaojiao didn't treat Su Cuicui as an outsider, and asked Su Cuicui to come over and help her cut the thread ends.
Su Cuicui took a pair of small scissors and sat in front of Su Jiaojiao to cut the thread ends. She joked with her, "You're still so busy during the New Year. You must have made a lot of money this year."
"If you want to make money, you have to work hard." Su Jiaojiao hadn't used a sewing machine in a long time and was a little rusty. Even a simple seam took a long time to measure. She asked Su Cuicui, "When do you start work?"
"The fifth day of the Lunar New Year." Su Cuicui replied, "Our factory received that pajamas order, so it's busier than previous years. We have to work overtime as soon as we get to work."
"That pajamas order is a big piece of fat meat, enough for you to eat for several years." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect that the pajamas order would be intercepted by Qimei Garment Factory.
However, from Boss Yu's perspective, Qimei Garment Factory is indeed more qualified than Jiali Garment Factory to take this order.
After all, Qimei Garment Factory is a subsidiary unit of the provincial foreign trade department, and is similar to a state-owned enterprise.
Jiali Garment Factory is a private enterprise and cannot be compared.
Initially, Boss Yu was willing to let Qin Shuang work at the Jiali Garment Factory entirely because he trusted Qin Shuang. Once Qin Shuang got into trouble, he changed his mind.
All in all, there is a problem with the management of Jiali Garment Factory.
Most of the orders for Qimei Garment Factory are directly assigned by the provincial foreign trade department. All process operations are carried out by departments instead of letting any one person solve it alone.
"Who said it wasn't!" When Su Cuicui arrived at the Quality Inspection Department, she knew more inside information than when she worked in the workshop.
She knew that Su Jiaojiao had a good relationship with Qin Shuang, so she couldn't help but reveal some inside information to her: "I heard that our President Kang accompanied Boss Yu to visit Director Qin at Qingyuan Hospital."
"After we came back, Boss Yu signed a contract with us. Boss Kang is really amazing!"
"Is this true?" Su Jiaojiao felt that this matter was very disadvantageous to Qin Shuang. What would Wu Youliang think if he knew about this?
It seemed like Qin Shuang gave up the order.
"It's absolutely true." Su Cuicui said firmly, "People in our department said so."
After Su Cuicui left, Su Jiaojiao was still thinking about this matter. She took out her cell phone from her bag and wanted to call Qin Shuang, but after thinking about it, she felt it was unnecessary.
Qin Shuang has been keeping an eye on this order, and she definitely knows how this order was taken away by Qimei Garment Factory.
It’s better for her not to ask.
Some things are better not to know.
There were two more text messages on her phone, which Lu Jingyou sent her yesterday.
She opened it and looked inside, and he asked her where she had spent the New Year and whether she had gotten the key to her new house.
"I'm spending the New Year in the village. I'll pick up the keys to my new house after the New Year." Su Jiaojiao replied, but Lu Jingyou quickly replied with a text message: "I'll probably be back around May Day. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back. Happy New Year in advance!"
"Happy New Year!" Su Jiaojiao replied immediately, "I have to work now. Let's talk another day."
"Okay." Lu Jingyou responded.
Chen Juan leaned over to take a look at the screen and asked, "Who is it?"
It was the first time she had seen a mobile phone.
According to Chen Guilan, this thing is too expensive and not practical.
"A friend." Su Jiaojiao closed her phone and put it in her bag.
