Chapter 116 Two Conditions

The difference between 600,000 and Tang Yuan's guess of 1 million was as great as 400,000. So when the other party proposed conditions, she was prepared for harsh conditions. Who would have thought that the final conditions would be beyond her expectations.

Just as she guessed, the other party quoted a price of one million, and the difference had to be offset by the clothes she bought every year.

Of the 200,000 pieces, she would need to provide at least 50,000 pieces of clothing every year for four years.

The remaining 200,000 yuan is used to customize clothes for close friends. No matter how many clothing schedules you have on hand, you have to make space to customize clothes for that customer. Under normal payment conditions, one set of clothes is worth 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to serving 200 customers.

Although these conditions sound harsh, they provide Tangyuan with the best customer base.

Even if each of these 200 customers orders four sets of clothes, there are still 50 customers who, if satisfied with the clothes she makes, will become her connections in the future. If she has other good designs, she can recommend them to these customers without having to worry about making good clothes but no one wanting them.

"This... is a great bargain for me." Tang Yuan couldn't help but speak.

"No, if you can agree to my request, it means that I can get back part of my capital and take less risk," Guo Qianru bent down, took a sip from the cup on the tea table, and then held it in her palm. "I like designing clothes very much. The reason why I set up this workshop is that I want to meet my expectations and design my own unique clothes."

The steam from the cup slowly rose and drifted slowly through her eyes. Her eyes changed in the mist and gradually became calm.

She put down the cup and smiled, "But I still underestimated the cost of running a workshop. Even though I have my own ideas and many friends who are willing to support me, I can't afford it when I make this my lifelong career. In this respect, I am not as good as Shiqi."

Tang Yuan understood what she meant: "When your hobby becomes work, your mood will always be a little different."

"Yes, I even started to get tired of this job. In fact, this workshop didn't make me lose money. I could even make some money from it, but I wasn't happy," Guo Qianru leaned on the sofa. "I don't want to work in the workshop all day long. I don't want to be the only person to talk about work with my friends. I don't want my interests to make me feel bored every day when I wake up."

Perhaps because she had opened up the conversation, Guo Qianru talked about many problems encountered in the workshop.

These problems may not be a big deal to others, but for someone who is not short of money and loves design, they will make her very painful.

That’s why she wants to transfer the studio, but that doesn’t mean she won’t continue designing.

"I will continue to design. This is the first condition I told you. The clothes you provide me are those I designed myself. Based on my current situation, fifty thousand is enough," Guo Qianru looked at Tang Yuan. "As for the second condition, it is not for you, but for myself. I hope this workshop can continue to operate. I hope you can take it on. Otherwise, after four years, I will have to find someone else to run the show. That will be very troublesome."

Tang Yuan understood. If that was the case, then these two conditions would be met.

Just like she was worried at first that there would be no business if she took over the workshop, Guo Qianru also knew that she might not have enough connections to support the normal operation of the workshop, so she expressed her willingness to take the initiative to help her build connections.

For only 600,000 yuan, she could get a workshop, or studio, worth more than one million yuan. Tang Yuan was tempted. After all, if she calculated it this way, she could save two houses.

Of course, she actually spent the money of three houses on this workshop.

She looked at the two people sitting in front of her and quietly asked to see the account book.

"Of course, this book should be shown to you." Guo Qianru nodded readily and immediately asked someone to bring the account book over.

Tang Yuan carefully read the contents of the account book. The clothes in this workshop are very expensive, ranging from two to three thousand yuan to five to six thousand yuan, and there are even clothes that cost ten to twenty thousand yuan. However, the expensive clothes are not only well designed, but also have some special designs and use some expensive jewelry and gold and silver.

The account book stated that a suit that was sold for 20,000 yuan previously had gold on it worth 5,000 yuan. With this value, plus the design and production costs, 20,000 yuan was not a high price.

The workshop's business has its ups and downs, and the profits also vary, but in a year's time, the profit can basically be around 200,000 yuan, which averages out to nearly 20,000 yuan a month.

This profit is definitely better than that of most ordinary people in Hong Kong today, but compared with the business of rich people, it should not be considered high.

Tang Yuan guessed that Guo Qianru's reluctance to continue running the workshop had something to do with the profit. If the profit could be higher, perhaps she would be more motivated.

Now it’s two hundred thousand a year... The condition Guo Qianru proposed to her was to have orders of fifty thousand a year.

She glanced at Mother Xue. She showed no curiosity about the account book and even seemed to understand it. It was obvious that she knew the profit of the workshop before. The profit was neither high nor low. Perhaps none of Mother Xue's friends had a suitable candidate, so the deal fell on Tang Yuan.

But Tang Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was better for people to think of her than for no one to think of her at all.

Moreover, a profit of two hundred thousand a year is not a small amount. Even if the workshop is transferred for one million, she can make it back in five years. Now she only spends six hundred thousand and can make it back in three years.

What's more, after spending this money, what she gets is not only the things in this workshop, but also this house. She can get this house* which is pure profit.

"When are we going to sign the contract?" Tang Yuan asked directly after reading the account book. "I'll have to trouble Aunt Xue for help. I don't quite understand what procedures are required."

"Would you like to?"

"Of course, I have always been interested in this, and now that I have such a good opportunity, I naturally cannot miss it, and I am reluctant to miss it," Tang Yuan said, "Six hundred thousand, I will pay you in cash."

Mother Xue looked at Guo Qianru.

"Then let's do it here. After the transaction is completed, we will go through the relevant procedures," Guo Qianru said. "You don't have to bear my two conditions. You can take over the workshop and the designer will remain. My friends like the style of this designer and they will come to support him in the future."

Tang Yuan listened and thought about the designer's salary in the account book he had just seen.

Every month - 20,000.

Well, there is another reason why Guo Qianru is unwilling to continue running this workshop. As the boss, she earns almost the same amount of money as the designer every year. She must feel a little uncomfortable.

However, it is normal for a designer to get this salary. She looked at the bill and found that many regular customers came to buy the works of this designer. Some people even spent nearly NT$100,000 on clothes from this designer in a year.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to retain this designer without offering a higher salary.

In addition to the designers, the wages for making clothes in the workshop are also high, reaching 3,000 yuan on average, which is twice the average wage of workers outside today.

After adding up all the factors, various costs will naturally increase, and the profit after deducting the costs will of course be low.

Tang Yuan thought a lot in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. Since the designer was able to attract customers, she would definitely not be stupid enough to chase them away. He was able to make 20,000 a month, so he was capable. She estimated that after she took over, if he showed the slightest reluctance, he would leave immediately.

The workshop belongs exclusively to Guo Qianru, and even the house is under her name. Tang Yuan wants to buy it, and she has no intention of keeping the house. The worst that can happen is that she can sell it and buy another one.

With the help of Mother Xue and the cooperation of Guo Qianru, both parties quickly completed the transfer and transaction procedures. Tang Yuan paid 600,000 yuan and got the house, all the machines in the house, all the workers, and the designer who was paid 20,000 yuan a month.

Fortunately, before all the transaction procedures were completed, Guo Qianru paid a sum of money first, so Tang Yuan didn't need to pay as soon as he got the money.

…

"In that case, do I not need to show you my small workshop?"

"I have to stop the small workshop business for a while. Please help me see if there are any cheap and good quality clothes," Tang Yuan said to Zheng Man, taking out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his bag, "You have been busy for nothing during this period of time."

"I didn't help at all." Zheng Man declined subconsciously.

"No matter what, I can't let you run for nothing," Tang Yuan stuffed the red envelope into Zheng Man's hand, "I only found out about the situation of that studio... the workshop when I met with Aunt Xue two days ago. If I had known about this earlier, I would definitely not let you work in vain."

"I can see that you were quite reluctant at first," Zheng Man refused but accepted the red envelope with a smile, "But it shouldn't be easy for you to run a studio like that."

"Give it a try. Actually, I've had the idea of ​​making high-end clothes for a long time, but I just didn't have the opportunity. Now I have the opportunity, and I can also expand my network. I will definitely give it a try." Since he has already bought the studio, Tang Yuan will definitely not pour cold water on himself. "I'll give it a try, maybe it will work."

"I think you can do it," Zheng Man looked at Tang Yuan, "You're amazing."

"Thank you for the encouragement," Tang Yuan smiled, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I'll have to stay in the studio more these days to check on the situation. There's a phone there. If you have anything, you can call me."

As she spoke, she handed the studio's phone number to Zheng Man.

Although it is highly unlikely that anything will happen, it is better than having no way of contact at all.

Tang Yuan doesn't need to sell tea recently, nor does it need to sell hair bands and small wallets in Hong Kong. It just sells some things in the United States every morning and afternoon to earn dollars, and the rest of the time is free to do as it pleases.

She decided to visit the studio more often to understand the sales model there.

By the way, see if there is any chance to take clothes out of her game space and sell them.

She has been thinking about this sales model for a long time!
