Chapter 954: Kickbacks
Lu Miao dared to ask for a price.
Master Zhou included the embroidery, and the fabric cost thirty-five yuan per foot, so she quoted Cheng Yingjie seventy yuan.
Can take away half of it.
She works for a reputable brand, and she also drew the first draft of the embroidery for this batch of materials.
The reason why Cheng Yingjie was so decisive in asking her to do this was because he saw the effect of her performance.
She took the money with a clear conscience and had nothing to be embarrassed about.
Let’s get back to the fabric.
The full payment from Cheng Yingjie for three hundred feet of material was twenty-one thousand.
Pay half of the deposit in advance, which is 10,500.
The amount was large, and it was an inter-city and inter-bank remittance, so it took three full days for the money to arrive.
When Lu Miao received the news, he did some calculations immediately.
When she later went to talk to Master Zhou about this incident, she brought a large bag of heavy envelopes with her.
Master Zhou is a skilled craftsman and his ancestors were all craftsmen.
In order to pass on the craft, they have been hanging the plaque and silently sticking to it.
I am not rich myself.
The materials he processed were all carefully selected from others.
The material is not cheap, and three hundred feet is not a small size.
If he were asked to pay for it himself, where would he get it from?
For this kind of thing, there was no need for the old man to ask, Lu Miao took the initiative to send half of it as a deposit.
It was more than 5,000 yuan, and I counted it over and over again, which took more than 40 minutes.
Master Zhou counted the items in person and only accepted them after confirming that there were no problems.
For a state-owned factory, a few thousand yuan may be a small amount of money.
But for an individual, this is an astronomical figure.
Master Zhou was hesitant to accept it at first, but he had no choice because he really couldn't afford that much money.
Five thousand dollars might not be enough for three hundred feet of cloth.
But he could communicate with his old friend first and give the rest to him later...
Speaking of which, Master Zhou looked at Lu Miao and said:
"Xiao Lu, I'll pay you for this batch of materials first. After the work is done, I'll give you the corresponding portion."
Inheriting skills and making a living from skills are the same thing.
Social etiquette is another matter.
Apart from the occasional wealthy family coming to buy a few feet of fabric for a wedding, there are usually no people coming in and out of his place.
Master Zhou was sincerely grateful to Lu Miao for bringing in such a large amount of work.
But Lu Miao waved his hands after hearing this:
"No need, Master Zhou. This business also shows that our previous cultural propaganda work has achieved some success. This is recognition for me. And as for the benefits, I have already been given by the other party. If you give me more, I would be embarrassed."
Lu Miao would not let herself suffer any loss, but she was not so cruel. She had already taken such a part, how could she ask for more?
If it was an easy job, she wouldn't say anything.
But this is embroidery, done stitch by stitch, with enough effort to blind someone's eyes.
Lu Miao said as he retreated out of the house.
Master Zhou was quick and quickly grabbed her elbow:
"No, no, no, let's put things in perspective. You should accept it!"
"No, no need!"
"Xiao Lu, you should listen to me on this matter..."
"That's really not necessary, Master Zhou. If you insist on doing this, I won't come here again!"
After a lot of tugging, they were almost in a fight, but Lu Miao remained resolute.
Master Zhou had no idea what to do with her, and was afraid that she would really not come in the future, so he had to sigh and compromise.
The matter was temporarily over. Lu Miao stayed in the yard for a while and then went back.
She came again the next day at noon.
Brought Chen Xiangdong along.
Master Zhou is not here. He must be busy with the 300 feet of material.
The only person in the courtyard was the twelve-year-old apprentice Xiulian.
But it doesn’t matter, Lu Miao didn’t come here to find Master Zhou at all.
