Chapter 440 She listened to advice
Ding Linyu also felt that Su Jiaojiao's investment in Sunshine Classic Real Estate was too risky. The cost of investing in it as a dormitory for employees was too high, so it would be better to rent a house.
Although the new factory looks prosperous, it is not actually making any money. Instead, it has been investing a lot. Su Jiaojiao also embezzled a large amount of funds at this time, and now there is not much money left on the books.
"Jingjiao, our daily income is barely enough to cover our daily expenses. We're really out of money," Ding Linyu reminded her, showing her the account book. "And now we're completely dependent on the sales of baseball uniforms. All the income from those small orders went to pay for the processing fees. The floral shirts from the new factory are just for practice, and they can't be sold before the New Year."
Although baseball uniforms sold well, they did not become a hit.
It is far less popular than floral shirts.
"I understand." Su Jiaojiao knew what was going on without even looking at the account book. "Let's grit our teeth and get through this month first."
If that doesn't work, she asks her mother for money.
She knew that her mother had saved some money, saying it was for her dowry.
Now her capital chain is broken, so how can she save for a dowry?
"Jiaojiao, you've spent too much this time. Don't forget, we still have to pay the mortgage for the house in the suburbs of Beijing." Cai Ting also took the account book and looked at it. "I paid it this month, but what about next month's payment?"
She has now moved to Sunshine Classic, but still comes back every weekend to meet with them.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to sell the short-sleeved floral shirts in stock." Su Jiaojiao has no money now, but she has stock. The weather in the capital is not suitable for wearing short sleeves, but it is okay in Guangzhou.
"But we don't have time to go to Guangzhou..." Ding Linyu looked at Cai Ting, who pointed at herself and asked in surprise, "Am I going?"
"Let me contact him first!" Su Jiaojiao had this intention a long time ago, but she just couldn't find the time to do it.
She first asked Yu Tian about the market situation in Guangzhou.
Yu Tian said that the price of floral shirts made of fabrics like Su Jiaojiao is similar to that here, but Guangzhou is the largest clothing distribution center in the country, so only wholesale is done from Guangzhou, and very few are wholesaled back to Guangzhou.
Unless the price of this batch of floral shirts is even lower than that in Yangcheng.
But if you do that, you will lose money. It is better to keep them in the warehouse and sell them next year.
Su Jiaojiao listened to the advice.
After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of going to Guangzhou to sell the goods. Instead of losing money, it would be better to think about the spot market.
It would be best if she could come up with another hit product, then her capital chain would be revitalized.
But it is not easy to have a hit product. The chance is about the same as winning the lottery. She cannot pin her hopes on the illusory big hit product.
It’s hard to come by a big hit, but we can still look forward to a classic hit. Fashion is a cyclical feast, and the resurgence of floral shirts is a good example of this.
After the capital chain is restored this time, she will no longer invest in real estate, but will wholeheartedly prepare to build a factory in the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park. In other words, the focus of her work will also be shifted to the Beijing Suburbs.
The Beijing Suburban Industrial Park is not far from Lakeside Villa. Lu Jingyou asked her to move in with him after the house in Lakeside Villa was renovated.
Su Jiaojiao then realized that it was no wonder that Lu Jingyou was not keen on helping her look for land elsewhere, but instead encouraged her to settle in the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park.
He has been in the suburbs of Beijing for so long, he must know that the location of the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park is near Lakeside Villa.
She had to admit that this man was very scheming. She even felt that she was walking step by step into the trap he had carefully woven. Fortunately, this trap was romantic and warm.
Thinking about the upcoming New Year's Day, Su Jiaojiao began to feel conflicted. Why did she agree to him? Is it too late to regret now?
She couldn't go to his house empty-handed, she had to buy him a gift, but she didn't know what to buy...
Lu Jingyou guessed what she was thinking and called to comfort her: "You don't have to prepare anything, I've already bought it."
"What did you buy?" Su Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone has one. You'll know when the time comes." Lu Jingyou noticed her nervousness and laughed, "I've already talked to my mother. She knew you were coming home with me on New Year's Day and even asked me what I liked. She said she would prepare a gift for you."
"Then tell me, what do I like?" Su Jiaojiao didn't believe him and even suspected that he was hiding something from both sides. He could prepare a gift for her, and he could also prepare a gift for her on behalf of his mother.
"I said it doesn't matter what she gives me, what matters is her intention." Lu Jingyou didn't answer directly, "But I guess it should be jewelry or something like that."
Su Jiaojiao smiled but said nothing.
What other people give as gifts is their business.
Isn’t she also worried about preparing gifts?
"Don't worry, I'll be back a day early." Lu Jingyou enthusiastically told her the specific itinerary. "We'll be home around 11 o'clock, have dinner around 12:30, and then chat. If you don't want to stay longer, I'll take you back immediately."
"It's easy for you to say, but you won't stand on my side when the time comes." Su Jiaojiao felt depressed when she thought about facing a room full of their family members.
"I'm definitely on your side. We're one." Lu Jingyou was left in a state of confusion. "I'm taking you home to meet my parents, not to negotiate. You really don't have to be nervous. You see, I was very relaxed when I went to your house."
"That's because there's only my mother in my family, and there are so many people in your family, how can it be the same!" Su Jiaojiao couldn't relax when she thought of Lin Manli, it was too awkward.
If his mother was as easy-going as Pei Lan, she would certainly be willing to go.
"Okay, don't dwell on it." Lu Jingyou repeatedly comforted her, "My grandma said that since it's your first time visiting, she was worried that you might feel embarrassed, so she didn't let my second uncle and the others come. It's just my grandparents, my parents, and the six of us can just have a meal together."
"Let's talk about it when you come back!" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
Cai Ting and Ding Linyu learned that Su Jiaojiao was going home with Lu Jingyou to meet his parents, and they gave her advice.
Cai Ting said she would accompany her to buy clothes, and then contact a makeup artist to come to her home to do her makeup, because Su Jiaojiao didn't know how to put on makeup and she didn't even wear lipstick on weekdays.
Ding Linyu reminded her to bring gifts for everyone, and said that she could buy everything at the China World Trade Center, but the price would be a bit expensive, so the budget should be between five hundred and one thousand.
The two of them were talking so much that Su Jiaojiao was overwhelmed.
Of course she knows about buying gifts, but buying new clothes and contacting a makeup artist might not be a big deal. Is it necessary to make such a grand event?
"It's not about being grand, but about you dressing up to meet their family and letting them see your most beautiful self." Ding Linyu felt it was necessary.
"Yes." Cai Ting agreed.
