Chapter 431 Provocation
Fang Zeyang looked at several pieces of land in the suburbs of Beijing, but none of them were suitable.
The compensation plan for Fangji Factory No. 2 has not been implemented yet. He took the opportunity of delivering goods to the city and went to Wudaokou to talk to Su Jiaojiao about these things.
Fang Zeyang rarely came to the city, so Su Jiaojiao invited him to have dinner at Tan Ji Restaurant opposite Wudaokou.
Su Jiaojiao had no better idea, so she asked him if he knew about the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park: "If an industrial park is established in the suburbs of Beijing, we will have a chance."
"I've heard about it, but I don't know when it will be fully implemented. If it takes three to five years, that's too long." Fang Zeyang looked out the window at the bustling crowd and lamented how crowded the city is. "The clothing industry is booming right now. If we delay for even a day, it will be a huge loss."
"Who says it's not?" Su Jiaojiao now has everything ready, just waiting for the right opportunity. "If that doesn't work, let's rent a factory first. There should be some idle factories in the suburbs of Beijing, right?"
She has also thought about this these days. If she can't find a suitable plot of land, she will rent it first.
Just move when the time comes.
Anyway, she didn't want to delay any longer. Setting up a clothing company is not something that can be done overnight. Not only does one have to buy equipment and recruit workers, but one also has to go through various procedures, which is very cumbersome.
"That's the only way." Fang Zeyang thought the same thing. "I came here to discuss this with you. If we want to rent a factory, do you want to go to the suburbs of Beijing or here?"
"If I'm going to rent a factory, I'd like to do it here." Su Jiaojiao had already made up her mind. "I've thought about it. Even if I find a piece of land now, the factory won't be ready for a year or two. It's better to rent it first and see what happens as we go."
The tunnel has not been opened yet, so it is still too far to reach the outskirts of Beijing.
She didn't want to go over there.
"Okay, I understand." Fang Zeyang also thought it would be more convenient for Su Jiaojiao to rent a factory nearby. "When I get back, I'll find a factory and move the equipment there first, so we don't have to rush around later."
"Yes, we should prepare early like this." Su Jiaojiao agreed. She didn't ask about the negotiation between Fang Zeyang and Qi Heng, mainly because it involved Lu Jingyou, so she didn't feel comfortable asking.
The next time Lu Jingyou comes back, she will ask him why they haven't come to an agreement yet.
After talking about the factory, the two talked about fabrics. Apart from jeans fabric, Su Jiaojiao didn't need much other fabrics.
They are mainly small orders, so the process is slow. They are finished just as I get familiar with the styles of the clothes.
This is why garment factories are willing to take large orders.
The reason why the output of that batch of jeans in Mocheng was so astonishing was that the entire production line was familiar with the practices of each process and could produce the finished products almost with their eyes closed.
Unfamiliar fabrics and styles require solving various technical problems and exploring various techniques. In the first few days, you have to repeatedly compare the samples and process sheets, because if you make a mistake, it will lead to a large number of mistakes.
Every time we launch a new model, it takes several days to produce the finished product. It’s always this or that. Only when we become familiar with it can the output increase.
This batch of small orders from Su Jiaojiao is a real torture for the production line. They change styles just when they are getting familiar with the products.
But Su Jiaojiao can only do small orders. Except for classic jeans, which are not afraid of inventory pressure, other popular styles are risky once they are in stock.
Small orders are in small quantities, so the inventory can’t be kept in stock much.
That batch of floral shirts was broken because the quantity was too large, and there were still 20,000 pieces on hand. If Su Jiaojiao didn't have sufficient funds, the capital chain would have been broken long ago.
It will be troublesome if the capital chain is broken. We can’t pay the processing fees, purchase fabrics, or pay various expenses.
So apart from jeans, Su Jiaojiao will not easily place large orders in the future. After Qi Mei's batch of baseball uniforms are finished, she will change to small orders.
Right now, she really needs her own processing plant.
Fang Zeyang is also very busy and has to go back to the suburbs of Beijing after dinner.
As the two of them were walking out side by side, they happened to meet Lin Manling and Bai Moli who were also coming to Tan Ji Restaurant for dinner.
The mother and daughter were surprised to see Su Jiaojiao and a man walking out of the restaurant talking and laughing.
Bai Moli wanted to take a picture of the two of them and show it to Lu Jingyou so that he could see Su Jiaojiao's true face as soon as possible.
Su Jiaojiao pretended not to see the mother and daughter, stood by the roadside with a smile, and waved goodbye to Fang Zeyang.
They were just interacting normally, so what if they saw it?
Bai Moli actually called Lu Jingyou and told him, "Cousin, I have something to tell you. I saw Su Jiaojiao having dinner with a man. They looked very familiar. If you don't believe me, just ask my mom. She saw it too."
"I know, that man's name is Fang Zeyang. Fang Zeyang is my girlfriend's supplier. I know him. What else do you want to say?" Lu Jingyou said in a cold tone.
"Nothing else..." Bai Moli said embarrassedly.
"Our affairs have nothing to do with you. If something like this happens again, don't call me. Don't be so boring, little girl."
Bai Moli: "..."
"I knew your cousin wouldn't believe me. He'll eventually understand that we're all doing this for his own good." Lin Manling sneered, "He's been so obsessed with that Su Jiaojiao that he's lost track of time. How could he possibly listen to us?"
She heard about the Lu family meeting from Lin Manli.
The relationship between Lin Manli and Lu Jingyou is strained because of Su Jiaojiao.
"When I'm free, I'll go find Lu Qingqing and ask her to keep an eye on Su Jiaojiao. I don't believe my cousin doesn't believe what Lu Qingqing says." Bai Moli knew that Lu Jingyou and Lu Qingqing had a good relationship, and Lu Jingyou doted on his cousin very much.
"Lu Qingqing will only side with Lu Jingyou, not you." Lin Manling also looked down on Lu Qingqing. Like Lu Jingyou, Lu Qingqing was raised by the old couple to be in a decadent state.
For so many years, she had never seen Lu Qingqing wear a skirt. She always looked very proper.
"Because Lu Qingqing and my cousin have a good relationship, she will definitely pay special attention to Su Jiaojiao." Bai Moli knew Lu Qingqing. "She is only one year younger than me. I know her."
Two days later, Bai Moli ran into Lu Qingqing and told her about Su Jiaojiao: "Your brother has been bewitched by her. Please help him keep an eye on her and let him know what kind of person she is."
Bai Moli heard that Su Jiaojiao was having an ambiguous relationship with a high school classmate from the medical school, and that one day, her true colors would be exposed.
It’s a pity that she and Su Jiaojiao are not in the same school, otherwise, she would have caught Su Jiaojiao’s handle long ago.
"Since she's my brother's girlfriend, why should I keep an eye on her?" Lu Qingqing looked at Bai Moli with wide eyes. "I trust my brother's judgment."
She knew that her brother had a secret girlfriend, Su Jiaojiao, and she also knew that Su Jiaojiao was studying at Peking University, a year senior to her.
But she never thought about asking what Su Jiaojiao meant.
"Qingqing, you're a college student now. You should understand that the way men look at women is different from the way women look at women." Bai Moli hinted at Lu Qingqing's dullness and coughed lightly, "Do you want to watch your brother get deceived by her?"
"Okay, I promise you." Lu Qingqing didn't have a good impression of Bai Moli. She didn't want to argue with Bai Moli about this issue, so she nodded seriously, "I'll keep an eye on her."
"That's right." Bai Moli smiled brightly.
