Lu Wanqing had previously made an agreement with Xu Jin: she would provide the garment factory with designs, and the factory would give her a two-yuan rebate for every garment produced.
The cooperation model has now changed again, this rebate...
The three of them lowered the final purchase price by one yuan, which means that even if A Biao wholesales the goods at the same price as the clothing factory, he can still make a pure profit of one yuan per piece.
After Ah Biao left, Xu Jin pulled Lu Wanqing aside and asked with a grin:
"Boss Lu, how about reducing the previous rebates a bit? If we keep doing this, the factory won't be able to retain any profits."
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Director Xu, these are two different things. The two yuan rebate is the reward I received for providing clothing designs, while this one yuan is a discount you gave me because of the large purchase volume."
Your profit is still between five or six dollars, which is already quite a lot.
Go out and ask around, see what other garment factories are doing. They're in the same boat as you, trying to shift their focus to individual businesses, but they don't have any best-selling styles. It's all for nothing. Quite a few factories have already contacted me, asking me to design clothes.”
She wasn't exaggerating. In the past six months, she had visited many garment factories and gotten to know many factory managers in order to work on her graduation thesis. She also had a good understanding of the operation of garment factories.
If Xu Jin weren't a worthwhile partner, she would have already accepted someone else's invitation.
Those garment factories, clinging to their existing old-fashioned clothing, sold them to state-run department stores. The prices were high, the styles were outdated, and the service was poor. In short, the drawbacks became increasingly obvious, and sales were far lower than before.
When Xu Jin heard how eloquently she spoke, he knew that Lu Wanqing was very knowledgeable about the industry and could not be fooled. So he stopped mentioning the matter of reducing the rebate and instead gave her the rebate money for this month.
She sold more than 10,000 pieces of clothing. After showing the accounts to Lu Wanqing, she handed her a savings book with more than 20,000 yuan.
Lu Wanqing reached out to take it, and it took a lot of effort to pull it over, clearly sensing that he was reluctant to give it to her.
Lu Wanqing put the passbook into her pocket with a straight face. There was no other way. If it weren't for the fact that her styles were selling well, the clothing factory's original sales volume was only five thousand pieces. How could it have turned a profit?
She took her passbook to the bank, withdrew all the money in it at once, and filled a whole bag.
Although at this time, you can withdraw money as long as you have the passbook, it's better to get the money in the bank as soon as possible in case the policy changes in the future, since it was a passbook issued by the factory.
She came out carrying the bag, intending to find an opportunity to put it into her spatial storage, but little did she know that when she entered the bank, Feng Yu was also waiting to conduct business.
Seeing how much money she withdrew, I was green with envy.
Thinking about myself, I've only managed to save a few hundred yuan in savings over the years, while Lu Wanqing can deposit and withdraw tens of thousands of yuan at a time.
She doesn't know if the anonymous complaint letter she wrote to the Industry and Commerce Bureau the day before yesterday will have any effect. She hopes that the Industry and Commerce Bureau will fine her into bankruptcy because of her tax evasion.
When Lu Wanqing came out of the bank, she followed behind her with a hint of hatred.
In this day and age, there are always some scoundrels loitering around banks, who prey on single young women, rob them after they've withdrawn their money.
While others avoided these people, Feng Yu scanned the crowd and spoke to a hoodlum-like figure:
"Young man, could you tell me where that woman in the fashionable coat went? She just withdrew some money, it's not safe for her, I need to go and protect her right away."
The scoundrel's shifty eyes darted around, and remembering Lu Wanqing who had just walked past carrying a bag, he quickly pointed Feng Yu in the opposite direction.
After Feng Yu left, he walked towards Lu Wanqing's direction.
Feng Yu, secretly observing from the street corner, watched the man's retreating figure and smiled smugly.
"Let her be smug; it would be good if she lost all 20,000 yuan."
Unexpectedly, just as she was feeling smug, she was hit on the back of the head with a blunt object.
She swayed and fell to the ground. When she woke up, she found that her savings book was gone. The dozen or so yuan of her newly acquired savings, along with the savings book containing more than four hundred yuan, were all gone. Not a single penny was left for her.
She didn't even see who knocked on her, so she couldn't report it to the police.
Meanwhile, Lu Wanqing, clutching her bag, looked around trying to find a place to enter her spatial dimension, only to see a figure following her from behind.
There are too many robbers these days, otherwise there wouldn't be such a crackdown. She didn't care about anything else, turned around and squeezed into an alley, then flashed into her spatial dimension.
By the time the hooligans had passed, the alley was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.
He scratched the back of his head, puzzled. Had they discovered he was running away? That was incredibly fast!
Lu Wanqing originally wanted to scare him, but in the end, she didn't want to cause any trouble. She decided to wait until everyone left before going out herself.
When she got back, she treated it as a minor incident and didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned home in the evening, Lin Ye came to greet her with a smile on his face and stared at her intently.
"What good news?" Lu Wanqing asked with a smile.
Lin Ye took her hand, a smile spreading across his face. "Wife, guess who I met with today?"
He seemed genuinely happy; before she could ask, he continued:
"Xiao Cui introduced me to an international architecture firm, saying she really liked my designs and wanted to work with me."
This is truly exciting news. I originally thought he couldn't make it in the industry anymore, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and an international company approached him.
"Today I took a guy named Tom to see the model of that courtyard house. Because the glass has been improved, ordinary vibrations have no effect on it. Even if it breaks, it won't hurt people like before."
He consulted Han Tao about the glass used, and it was aerospace-grade glass. The strength, toughness, and other indicators of the observation deck curtain wall were all advanced.
Of course, the cost of such a building would be correspondingly higher.
That international construction company has ample funds, so cost isn't the main consideration. As long as the design looks good, they can charge for it later, and they'll recoup their costs sooner or later.
As the two were talking, Lin Xiaocui returned as if riding on wheels of fire.
"Brother, how did it go? Something came up and I can't be with you. Did Tom take a liking to you? What did he say?"
She really wanted to know the result.
Lin Ye smiled and patted her forehead:
"Needless to say, Tom was extremely satisfied. Chunlei and I conducted several experiments to prove the reliability of the glass."
He wanted to invite us to join his team to develop this project together.
Lin Xiaocui almost jumped up after hearing this.
She had been secretly worried that Tom might plagiarize the design and cut off all contact with her after taking the photo, but it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise.
Then what's there to hesitate about? We should definitely cooperate!
