Chapter 133 Earn a Little

While the studio was collecting a list of Hong Kong ladies and confirming their contact information, Tang Yuan worked overtime for several days to make all 50 pieces of clothing that the other party needed.

Every time a piece of clothing is made, a tag is hung on it so that each piece of clothing can correspond to a Miss Hong Kong.

Strictly speaking, this kind of work is not difficult, but the size requirements are different. Even if it is made in a factory, it is necessary to check the size of each piece and confirm the drawings so that clothes of the corresponding size can be made.

In comparison, Tang Yuan only needs to input the size into the panel and align the position of the cut fabric according to a fixed process to make it, which is relatively easy.

She divided the fifty pieces of clothing into several batches and sent them to the studio one by one. However, before the deadline, the studio staff sent them out. After the other party inspected them, she got back all the payment.

Two days later, the studio contacted Miss Xiangjiang and the effect began to show. After seeing the tailor-made clothes, many people called the studio to ask them to make custom clothes for them.

Suddenly, the studio became busy.

Tang Yuan made a rough estimate. If nothing unexpected happened, the studio would be able to make at least $150,000 in profit from all the orders this month, which was much better than when she first took over.

Although this profit also includes the profit from making fifty pieces of clothing, it is finally a new breakthrough.

While the Xiangjiang studio was busy, the storage location in Yun Province was changed, and the amount of tea delivered increased instead of decreased. Except for a few villages around where Xiaomei lived, other villages that had not received tea due to inconvenient transportation, could not wait to pick tea and deliver it after discovering the change of location.

The town is located in the "center" of several villages, so it is relatively convenient to come from any village. However, because there are many mountains around it, the villagers do not come out most of the time.

Now that there is an opportunity to make money, the villagers are willing to carry heavy burdens even if it means crossing mountains and ridges.

Under such circumstances, Tang Yuan did not contact the villagers, but occasionally contacted the village chief of Xiaomei's village through notes. From the notes, it can be seen that her acquisition was not hidden from the government officials in the town, but most people chose to turn a blind eye after discovering this.

It's not for any other reason, but that the villages and towns here are simply too poor.

In addition, with the development information vaguely coming out of the policies above, the government officials in the town also hope to better develop the village. In this case, if someone "gives money" and can promote consumption in the town, they will naturally be more than happy.

The people above turned a blind eye, and the people below became bolder and bolder. In Yun Province, there was always tea from spring to autumn and winter. As the news spread, the amount of tea naturally increased.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan is not selling tea herself now, otherwise she would not be able to sell this batch of tea no matter what.

However, even so, when the season for picking "old tea" came, the amount of tea leaves still exceeded Tang Garden's expectations. Although this amount may not reach the maximum capacity of the Hong Kong market, it is a quantity that may be noticed as abnormal.

…

"Is it here?"

"It should be here," Tang Yuan held the newspaper in his hand, looked at the sale information on it, and then looked at the dilapidated small factory in front of him, "Lola, let's go in and take a look together."

"Okay." Lola nodded carefully and walked beside Tang Yuan, looking left and right.

I finally made it to the office, only to see a person lying inside, wearing a denim suit and boots, with a newspaper covering his face, leaving only his messy hair exposed.

Even when footsteps were heard, the people inside did not move.

"Falling asleep?" Lola asked softly.

"Maybe," Tang Yuan raised his voice slightly, "It doesn't look very reliable."

"Forget it," Lola pulled Tang Yuan's hand, "Amy, our farm doesn't have much milk. If we work hard, we should be able to sell it. Buying a production line is too expensive."

Tang Yuan was talking when he saw the newspaper covered on the opposite side. He shuddered and sighed: "It seems that they don't plan to sell the production line. I don't really understand. It would be great if someone could help me take care of it."

"Help you?" Lola was surprised.

The man who had been lying there stood up immediately. His expression was irritable but also a little happy, but overall it was still a little gloomy. He stared at the two of them with a pair of green eyes and said in a rough voice, "I didn't intend to sell the production line, but you have seen the situation outside. Are you willing to buy it and want someone to help you manage it?"

"Yes, but before we talk about this, let's talk about another topic first." Tang Yuan looked at the other party with a smile.

The other party nodded, and the two parties finally sat down face to face on both sides of the desk.

What Tang Yuan wanted to say was nothing else but to determine whether the other party could "prepare" a drink.

The amount of tea is increasing, and Yunnan Province is a major tea-producing province. As it grows bigger and stronger, the amount of tea will only increase. Although the Hong Kong market is good, it will definitely not be able to accommodate so much tea in the future.

So she had to find another way to deal with the tea.

Of course, it would be even better if you can have coffee at the same time.

When making the decision, she had two ideas in her mind. One was to open a milk tea shop or a coffee shop, but although this method was good, it was not suitable for the current environment.

Country M is not suitable. She does not have enough connections to open a chain store.

The mainland is not suitable either. Not to mention that the mainland has not yet been fully opened to business. Even if it is opened, there will not be enough milk tea coffee shop market in the next few years.

When you open a store, you have expenses like rent, labor, and transportation. Ten stores have their own expenses, and a hundred stores have their own expenses. Not only that, you also have to control the quality, which is simply impossible under the current situation.

And if she hadn't opened a big chain, she would have had no way of using up the increasing amount of tea and coffee.

Apart from chain stores, the second option is to make tea drinks.

In later times, there are milk tea shops and coffee shops all over the streets, but tea drinks and milk tea drinks are still indispensable on supermarket shelves, which means that there is a market demand for these two drinks.

People in Country M prefer sweet food, so as long as the ingredients are adjusted properly, it may not be impossible to expand the market for milk tea and tea drinks.

Her requirements were not high, just wanting to use up some of the tea and coffee on hand.

As for who is in charge, she doesn't care.

"What does it taste like if you put these two together?" the other party asked after hearing Tang Yuan's request.

Tang Yuan took out the drink that he had prepared in advance and poured it into the other person's cup.

Without any additional additives, this ordinary cup of "milk tea" has a strong flavor of milk and tea. After a slight bitterness, it has a strong aftertaste and is so sweet that she finds it a bit greasy, but Lola thinks it is just right.

After she decided to make tea, she went back to find Lola and asked her to provide milk for the next drink.

"This is interesting," he drank half a cup, stood up and held out his hand, "Mirabelle Langman, this is my name, you can call me Mira, this factory originally belonged to my grandfather, after he passed away no one inherited it, only I am interested in it, I like the feeling of delicious drinks being made by me, but this business is not easy to do."

"Of course, I don't think everything will go smoothly," Tang Yuan said to reassure him. "In fact, I asked about you before I came here. The villagers nearby said that the drinks you make are delicious, but it's a pity that you can't sell too much. That's not your fault. It's just that not everyone enjoys the delicious drinks like you do."

"Yes, you understand me very well," Mira said excitedly, "I am also interested in the drinks you brought, but you know that milk needs a farm, and tea is not easy to find in Country M."

Tang Yuan had also inquired about this news before coming here.

Although Country M can grow tea, it is not completely suitable for growing tea. The vast plains make the environment of Country M more suitable for growing grain. With such an advantage, it doesn't matter even if it is not suitable for growing tea.

Of course, people in Country M don’t care about the shape of tea leaves.

People in Hong Kong know a little bit more about this. They know that young tea is more expensive than old tea, and that whole tea leaves are better than broken ones. But here we have none of this.

Therefore, the tea culture in Country M is not very well developed.

This is also the reason why Tang Yuan chose to bring Lola along. Tea drinks are not possible, but milk tea drinks are possible. Otherwise, there would not be so many milk tea chain stores opened all over the world in the future.

"Don't worry about the tea. I have a special channel to supply tea. Lola has milk. She has a farm at home and can also contact other farms," ​​Tang Yuan and Mira promised. "The focus now is to make our drinks and then sell them. I just don't have relevant experience, but maybe we can cooperate."

She paid the money to revive the beverage factory.

Lola supplies milk and can also take a share.

Mira is responsible for the production of drinks and the operation of the factory.

Tang Yuan did inquire about Mira's situation before coming here. The reason why this factory was on the verge of bankruptcy was not because she was not doing a good job, but because she was too serious and wanted to do everything well.

But who would have thought that after launching several drinks, the market situation was not satisfactory, which led to the current situation of the factory.

"How much can you offer?"

"One hundred thousand US dollars." Tang Yuan quoted a price. This amount was not enough to buy the factory, but it was fine as an investment to hold a certain share.

What's more, she can make money by selling tea later.

"No problem, I can definitely expand our factory!" Mirabell said loudly, and his gloomy face seemed to gradually brighten up.

Of course, the biggest change happened when she went out, washed her face, and came back in.

Once again, we loudly declared: "We work together to let everyone know about the drinks we make!"

Tang Yuan was silent. She had no other needs but to sell all the tea stocks she had.

Now that she has this opportunity, most of the old tea she stockpiled has been transferred to the warehouse in Country M.

As for the price, let’s set it at one dollar per pound.

She spent $100,000 in advance on this business.

You have to make a little money.
