Sun Zeyan was also a little worried: "Our factory doesn't know what to do with it. It's been squeezed for so long, it's really a headache! The factory's performance has been poor in the past two years, and the counters can't sell anything. They are all being returned. No one wants to use it to pay the workers' wages! I guess we'll just pile it up here for now!"
Especially with the recent rumors, it is very likely that even the factory will go bankrupt!
Song Shiwei listened and nodded in understanding. Although this batch of cotton-padded jackets were not made of the best fabrics, they were made of economical and durable nylon blended fabrics. Nylon has high strength, alkali resistance, wear resistance, and good resilience. It ranks first among all fibers and is very durable!
However, it has a disadvantage, which is that it is not soft enough. But this cotton coat should have taken this into consideration, so its lining is made of acrylic. Acrylic is commonly known as "artificial wool". It has the characteristics of softness, warmth and strength. It has a smooth surface, tight structure, and is not easy to deform. Even after washing, it shrinks very little.
Such cotton-padded clothes are simply the most favorite clothes for ordinary people.
Maybe its positioning is wrong.
City people generally have jobs and like to buy decent and good-looking clothes. Naturally, no one likes cotton-padded jackets that only focus on durability and warmth but not appearance.
If you have that money, why not spend more on buying nice coats and down jackets produced in the south?
Or a cotton-padded jacket with novel and eye-catching styles.
Therefore, such cotton-padded clothes naturally cannot be sold!
But if this thing could be taken to Qilian Island and sold to the villagers at a low price, Song Shiwei felt that it would still be very marketable!
At least it’s better than rotting in the warehouse!
After thinking for a while, she said, "Director Sun, if I try to sell it, what price can you give me?"
Sun Zeyan, who was worried, thought he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
Song Shiwei smiled and repeated, "I said, I want to take some to try and see if I can sell them. What price can you give me?"
Sun Zeyan was really shocked, but when he came to his senses, he felt a little disappointed.
"I can't hurt you. This cotton-padded jacket is really hard to sell. The workers downstairs tried to sell it at first, hoping to make some money, but they couldn't sell it at all! Forget it, forget it, you'd better not take it. It's just a waste of effort!"
Song Shiwei shook his head and smiled, "Director Sun, if they can't be sold here, maybe I can sell them on Qilian Island. I won't take too many, so let me try ten first, what do you think? Of course, as for the price..."
Sun Zeyan looked at the mountain of cotton-padded clothes in front of him and sighed, "What's the big deal about price? If you really want to sell them, just give me the cost price. Five yuan each!"
Five dollars per piece is very cheap, almost excluding the labor cost, because Song Shiwei did some calculations.
In those days, making a cotton-padded jacket required about three feet of cloth, which cost about two yuan, and you also needed cloth coupons.
Even if you have money and cloth coupons, you may not be able to buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Even if you have cloth, you still have to buy cotton, which is not easy to get. Sometimes the public society will grow some and distribute it, but how can that cotton be enough for the whole family?
Adding labor, five yuan? I'm afraid it won't even cost seven or eight yuan!
Moreover, such cotton-padded jackets are sold for more than ten yuan each in the city!
Not to mention those nice cotton-padded jackets from the south, the cheapest ones are just a few dozen, while wool coats and down jackets can even cost hundreds!
It's really a good deal to be able to buy such a cotton-padded jacket for five yuan. Not to mention five yuan, even six yuan is a good deal! It's basically like buying fabric and cotton and having the factory process and make them for free!
Sun Zeyan had no other choice. Being able to exchange it for some capital was much better than letting it rot in the warehouse, right?
"Here's how, if you can sell one, I'll give you 50 cents! What do you think?"
Song Shiwei was suddenly very happy.
"Okay! Then I'll try ten first!"
Sun Zeyan nodded: "Okay, I'll have the warehouse manager write you an order. If you sell out, or...if you can't sell it, take it back and come to me directly!"
Song Shiwei looked at the brand new cotton coats in front of him with full confidence.
"good!"
Finally, Song Shiwei also left Sun Zeyan's office phone number so that they could contact him if anything happened.
Seeing that it was difficult for them to carry the clothes, Sun Zeyan asked the workers to use some scraps of cloth to sew a bed sheet for her to wrap it up.
Although these cotton-padded clothes were very light, ten of them plus her seven made up a very large bag when packed together.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhang was with her. Song Shiwei thought, if she had done it by herself, she might not be able to lift it!
After leaving the factory, because she was thinking about helping Sister Mei bring back the cotton gloves, she asked Xiao Zhang to go to the dock with the cotton coat and wait for her.
She took her two children to the department store!
The department store in Qing City is not particularly far from the garment factory.
It took about twenty minutes to walk there.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin looked up at the two-story building in front of them, extremely excited.
"Wow! So this is a department store?"
"Yeah, it looks so impressive!"
They, the brothers and sisters, had never left Qilian Island. After all, Zhou Tingyue was in the army all year round and almost never left. Even if he left, it was only on a mission, and he couldn't take the children with him!
He hardly ever took a leave to visit his family even during the Chinese New Year.
Because he adopted these children and divorced her, Shen Xiu'e became so angry that she fell ill.
From then on, he didn't dare to go home, let alone take the children back with him. One reason was that he was afraid that Shen Xiu'e would get angry and do something bad, and the other was that he was afraid that their parents would not like these children, and what if it caused any psychological harm to the children's young hearts!
