Chapter 195 Good News
"I don't know." Su Jiaojiao came back once a week and hadn't heard about this, but it was a good thing. With Qin Shuang's ability, he could definitely start his own company.
"She's been busy with various paperwork lately and probably hasn't had time to tell you yet," Lu Jingyou replied. "I heard that the company is about the same size as the Jiali Garment Factory. The original company went bankrupt due to poor management, and was sold to her at a very low price."
"That's great." Su Jiaojiao lay on the bed, poking at the screen. "Aunt Qin has found her own stage. She is definitely capable of making the company bigger and stronger."
"Yes, now that she's stable, we can rest assured." Lu Jingyou asked her again, "What orders are you working on recently? Is it leather jackets?"
"That's right." Su Jiaojiao was very willing to talk to him about this.
"I've noticed a lot of people wearing leather jackets here in western Shanxi. Plus, because of the high altitude, the temperature there is lower than yours in the summer, so many people come here to escape the heat." Lu Jingyou had been there for over half a year and was familiar with the area. "So I think you don't have to wait until September for your leather jacket; you can have it delivered during the summer vacation."
"Mr. Lu, please help me understand the market situation there first, and then I will make a decision." Su Jiaojiao was a little excited when she heard this, but the number of leather jackets she had was too few, and there would only be a thousand of them when she finished making them.
The two chatted until after midnight.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep with her phone in her hand.
Lu Jingyou waited for a long time. Seeing that she didn't reply, he guessed that she was asleep, so he closed his phone and put it in the drawer. The wind started to blow outside the window again, and yellow sand filled the sky.
Su Jiaojiao slept until nine in the morning. She picked up her phone, looked through the chat history with Lu Jingyou, and then put the phone down.
Chen Guilan prepared breakfast and put it in the pot for her. She left a note saying that she was going to Hualian Shopping Mall and that Lao Ding wanted to see her about something, so she asked her to come downstairs.
After dinner, Su Jiaojiao went to the outlet room downstairs.
Old Ding and the others started work at eight o'clock. The four of them were chatting and laughing as they worked. When Su Jiaojiao arrived, she stood by the chopping board, cutting off thread ends with a pair of small scissors. "Sister Ding, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"It's nothing serious. There are just a few scratches on three pieces of leather. I wanted to tell you." Ding Mei asked Liu Ming to take the three pieces of leather and show them to Su Jiaojiao. "It must have been an oversight during the inspection."
"See if there's any left?" Su Jiaojiao asked Liu Ming to check the remaining leather. Liu Ming flipped through it and said, "No."
Su Jiaojiao spread the three pieces of leather on the cutting table, picked up a wallpaper knife and a ruler, and cut the leather along the scratches. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to make a leather bag for fun.
"Jiaojiao, what time do you go to school tomorrow?" Liu Ming chatted with her while working.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Su Jiaojiao cut the other two pieces of leather one by one, found a pen and paper, sat down, and drew a pattern. "Are you used to it here?"
"Not bad, pretty good." Liu Ming clapped his hands and said loudly, "Comrades, I have good news. Do you want to hear it?"
"If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, forget it." Su Jiaojiao kept moving her hands. Yu Ying and Chang Yuqin laughed when they heard it.
"You know what I want to say, just laugh, what a joke!" Liu Ming continued, "It's called karma. No one is spared by God. It's that Xinglong Leather Factory, the one who framed Lao Miao, who is in trouble."
"What happened?" Su Jiaojiao looked up at him and suddenly felt that the boy was actually quite good-looking, except that he had spoken incoherently before, which made him look rather wretched.
"Liu Ming, why didn't you tell me when you first got here?" Ding Mei came over and punched him. "You had to wait until Jiao Jiao got here before you told me!"
"I didn't have time to tell you!" Liu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm hanging out with women all day. It's really boring."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Ding Mei was anxious.
"It's the same problem as your Lao Miao, except he's the banker." Liu Ming patted his chest and said, "This morning, I saw Lao Song being taken away with my own eyes. I heard that his brother-in-law Yu Bin couldn't escape either."
"This is really good news for me." Ding Mei breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly smiled. "Comrades, I'll treat you to dumplings at noon today. Those two bastards deserve it. This is called harming others but end up hurting yourself."
"Xinglong Leather Factory is absolutely doomed, because Old Song doesn't have a wife like Old Ding, and certainly not clients like Jiao Jiao." Liu Ming grew increasingly excited as he spoke, sitting down on the chopping board, spit flying. "Let me tell you, those people who left our factory a while ago regretted it. It only lasted a little over three months before it went bankrupt."
"Actually, I'm not unlucky." Ding Mei said with a gloomy expression, "You've been following me for so long, and I haven't even paid you."
These days, her former workers have been asking her for the month's salary that was withheld before the New Year.
She sold everything that could be sold at home and gave them an additional 150 yuan each, but she did not pay any salary to the three of them.
The three months’ salary for the three of them added up to 4,500 yuan.
For her, it was undoubtedly another huge sum of money.
She had to lead them to quickly complete Su Jiaojiao's order and pay them with the processing fee paid by Su Jiaojiao.
"What are you talking about!" Liu Ming walked away when he heard her say that. "You gave us a raise, right? Pay us more when you have money. We trust you."
Yu Ying and Chang Yuqin didn't say anything. It's not that they didn't need money, but nowadays garment factories all have an internship period, which is three months, with a monthly salary of two to three hundred yuan, and one month's salary is withheld.
Their original salary at the Natus Leather Factory was 400 yuan, which was considered a high salary.
If you go somewhere else, it will cost at most three hundred yuan.
Now Lao Ding is back and is willing to continue working with them, and the salary has been raised to 500 yuan. They believe that Lao Ding is not just empty talk, she is just temporarily short of money and will definitely pay them.
In comparison, being in arrears of two or three months' salary is not unacceptable.
Su Jiaojiao sat in front of the sewing machine, making her bag carefully, but she was thinking in her heart whether this batch of leather jackets should go to the northwest.
In fact, as long as the price is similar to here, you can go.
But this batch of goods is too valuable, so she has to follow the truck in person.
It was such a long journey, so she had to find a reliable person to go with her. After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a suitable person.
In the afternoon, Lu Jingyou sent her another text message, giving her an address and asking her to mail a leather jacket sample so that he could also determine a specific price.
Su Jiaojiao immediately went to the post office to send out the leather jacket samples.
It is now the beginning of May. If I can make back the cost of this batch of leather jackets two months in advance, I can make another profit by the end of this year.
For her, it was indeed good news.
