Chapter 238: Give and Take
"She asked you to be her bridesmaid, and then you asked her to buy goods, but she ignored you?" Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Don't worry, now you are a customer, she will definitely treat you well."
To put it bluntly, the exchange between people is about interests.
A poor person in a busy city is ignored by everyone, but a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives, and this is even more true for relatives.
Chen Mei will definitely help with this.
It would be a waste if you don’t use it.
"Jiaojiao, will you come with me?" Chen Juan still didn't have the courage.
"Sister, I have to prepare for the college entrance examination and don't have time." Su Jiaojiao was not unwilling to help her, but she should do these things by herself now. She couldn't always support Chen Juan.
"Can't I go to Hualian Department Store to purchase goods?" Chen Juan was frightened when she thought of Chen Mei.
"The bamboo cotton from Fenghua Textile Factory is more cost-effective." Su Jiaojiao patiently advised her, "If that's what you're thinking, you were going to Fenghua Textile Factory to buy goods, and your cousin happened to be there, so you should go find your cousin, instead of saying that you don't want to interact with your cousin and therefore don't go to Fenghua Textile Factory to buy goods."
"I'll think about it..." Chen Juan agreed reluctantly.
"If she can shamelessly use us, why can't we use her?" Su Jiaojiao simply said, "You don't have to be embarrassed to ask her out, and you have to go to her with confidence. Favors are only valuable when they can be cashed in."
To come and go means to have a come and go relationship.
You help me and I help you, so we can go further.
"Okay, I'll go find her in a few days." Chen Juan made up her mind.
Chen Guisheng went around the village to ask around, and after some selection, he quickly bought the shrimp paste and sea cucumbers that Su Jiaojiao wanted, and then drove her back to Century Jiayuan on a tricycle.
When Chen Guisheng and Su Jiaojiao walked in, Qin Shuang and Qin Xiuming were already sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Chen Guilan was busy cooking in the kitchen and asked Chen Guisheng to stay and have dinner with them.
When Chen Guisheng saw that there was a guest, a female guest dressed in jewels, he said that he had something to do at home and drove away on his tricycle. Chen Guilan chased him and gave him a bag of rice that Qin Shuang had brought for her.
Qin Shuang stood at the window, looking at the brother and sister talking downstairs, and was very envious: "Jingjiao, your mother has a good brother."
"Well, she has such a good brother." Su Jiaojiao divided the prawns and sea cucumbers she brought back into two portions and asked Qin Shuang to take one back.
"Wutong shrimp is a good thing. I heard it's very famous in Jiao County." Qin Shuang was a connoisseur. He took out a bottle of shrimp paste, looked at it, opened it and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Let's try it tonight."
During the meal, Qin Shuang talked with Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao about the garment factory. It had been going smoothly for the past six months, mainly due to the bathrobe orders for Yu Baiqiang.
The bathrobes are made of towel fabric, one size fits all, the men's is blue and the women's is pink, there are no buttons, only a belt, and the craftsmanship requirements are not very strict.
Very suitable for Qin Ji.
"In fact, taking orders is just a temporary measure. In the long run, I still have to have my own brand." Qin Shuang has also registered several trademarks, but to take her own orders, she needs sales channels. She now focuses on accumulating funds, being cautious, and focusing on production, so she has not worked hard on external sales.
This was different from when she was at the Jiali Garment Factory. At the Jiali Garment Factory, she only had to take care of orders and sales, and did not have to oversee production or worry about the big or small matters in the factory.
Now she has to take care of all the big and small matters of Qinji and has no time to spare.
Qin Shuang, who looks bright and beautiful, also has her own unknown troubles. Although she has fully recovered now, her physical strength is obviously not as good as before, and she gets tired easily. She is powerless to do many things.
"Building a brand is not as worry-free as processing supplied materials." Su Jiaojiao has actually been building her own brand in the past two years. The long-sleeved shirts made by Chen Juan and the leather jackets made by Ding Mei are all Huanxisha brands. Sales alone consume a lot of her energy.
The reason why her leather jacket sales seem to be going well is not because she is so capable, but mainly because she took advantage of the information gap and stood at the forefront of the times. The past two years have been when leather jackets are all the rage, and whoever makes them can make money.
After the craze for leather jackets has passed, she will readjust her direction and focus on casual sportswear, and then delve deeper into this field to become a leader in the industry.
The founder of McDonald's once said that if McDonald's did not engage in real estate and only sold hamburgers, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Therefore, while deepening our roots in the clothing industry, we must also seize the opportunities in the real estate industry. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can we go further and more steadily.
Those who follow the trend will prosper.
"Yes, each has its pros and cons." Qin Shuang knew that Su Jiaojiao had gone to the northwest for that batch of leather jackets and had suffered a lot.
In fact, it is okay if the quantity is small like Su Jiaojiao's, but if it is a large quantity like Jiali Garment Factory, it is not easy to recover the funds as soon as possible.
She knew that in order to sell its goods, Jiali Garment Factory rented a stall at Hualian Shopping Mall for wholesale and retail, but this was actually a bad idea.
If a real brand wants to grow bigger and stronger, it needs franchisees to open franchise stores.
"I think Qin Ji is better at processing supplied materials." Chen Guilan is now considered an insider in the industry and has her own experience. "You have a great advantage with Mr. Yu's connections. There's no need to build a brand."
"Yeah, whatever way to make money is fine." Qin Shuang looked the same as before, speaking and acting in a hurry, but actually her heart had quietly changed. She wanted to work, but she didn't want to struggle as much as before. She wanted to go with the flow.
"Yes, the important thing now is to accumulate funds and experience. We can talk about building a brand later." Su Jiaojiao didn't notice any difference between Qin Shuang and before, and reminded her, "But if you see suitable land and shops, buy them first. House prices have started to rise."
Qin Xiuming said nothing and listened to them quietly.
He felt that Su Jiaojiao was different from before, and he was no longer as resistant to her as before, but he felt that she was further away from him.
"I thought so too. When the right opportunity comes, I'll buy a shop and prepare for the future of branded clothing." Qin Shuang was surprised that Su Jiaojiao not only knew about clothing, but also about real estate. He asked her, "Jingjiao, did President Lu tell you this?"
"I saw that the prices of houses in Century Garden have gone up, so I thought that they will definitely get more expensive in the future." Su Jiaojiao didn't answer directly, but smiled. "I just said that casually. I don't know whether it will go up or not."
After dinner, Wang Hua came. He wanted to send Qin Shuang back to Qingyuan, and then return to the imperial capital with Qin Xiuming.
Qinji Garment Factory starts work tomorrow, so Qin Shuang has to rush back overnight.
Su Jiaojiao gave the gift box she had prepared to Wang Hua: "These are all local specialties. Mr. Lu should like them."
"Isn't this Wutong shrimp? Mr. Lu likes it very much." Wang Hua took a look and said with a smile, "It just so happens that you bought it, so I don't have to buy it."
Qin Xiuming took a look at the gift box with mixed feelings.
From beginning to end, Su Jiaojiao never took the initiative to say a word to him.
He knew that the relationship between Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou was definitely not just ordinary friends.
