Chapter 93 Chapter 93 New Models Sell Out (Edited)
Hongmian Garment Factory has been very busy recently. Not only do the workshops often work overtime, but they are also continuing to recruit new employees, as if they are planning to expand their scale.
Several small processing factories nearby didn't pay much attention to this. After all, everyone was busy working hard. The next step was the time for autumn and winter clothes to be put on the market, and they themselves were also very busy.
Besides, if the Hongmian Garment Factory could expand its scale, they would actually be happy to see it happen.
They are all of similar size. If Hongmian Garment Factory can expand its scale, doesn't it mean that the market is indeed thriving and they also have the opportunity to continue to grow?
However, some people in Dinghao Garment Factory were very dissatisfied.
It was as if he learned that Fang Yunyun and Wang Qian finally became the human resources manager of Hongmian Garment Factory, and he felt that it was really unkind of Hongmian Garment Factory to poach them.
Also, the same goes for those two little girls. I don’t know if they are blind or their eyes are covered by something. With their scale, compared with a small workshop like Hongmian, isn’t it obvious who to choose?
Of course, there were also some people who were instigated by He Xinrong.
"I think they're just messing around. How long has the small workshop been open? They're expanding it. Isn't that just wishful thinking?"
"Young people, if they're young, they're not very reliable. I heard that two of the three partners are women. Women, after all, have long hair and short knowledge."
"The profit margins for autumn and winter clothing are high, but so are the costs. If they can't fill orders for this stuff, they won't be able to sell it even if they want to set up a stall in Guangzhou, hahahaha."
"Hey, Xiao He, stop talking about that small workshop. Just a few stinky women. What level is there? Why should we pay attention to it?"
"That's not what I meant."
…
These people gathered together, smoking the cigarettes that He Xinrong had given them, and waved their hands to indicate that they would definitely help to step on the Hongmian Garment Factory if they had the chance, but there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
A small workshop, not worth mentioning.
The few people who were chatting and laughing didn't notice that a woman with neat short hair was standing in the corner not far away. The woman frowned slightly and looked at the group of men with foul mouths. After a moment, she curled her lips and laughed sarcastically.
Oh, you look down on women all the time, but if it weren't for her, wouldn't she have been able to get such a good sales channel, stand out among the many state-owned factories that were almost bankrupt, successfully undergo restructuring, and become a large factory of its current scale?
However, when the factory grew to its current size, these people forgot everything that happened in the past.
Everyone feels that Dinghao Garment Factory can achieve its current success because of the smart, capable and outstanding abilities of these people.
That's ridiculous.
It's quite sad too.
In this era of reform everywhere, perhaps she should look further ahead and stop clinging to her own little piece of land.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard, and the woman turned back to her office.
Although the weather has not yet turned cold, autumn and winter clothes have already been put on the market in wholesale markets.
Hongmian Garment Factory has its own wholesale stalls. Of course, it has also expanded other sales channels, but so far it still mainly focuses on wholesale stalls.
It’s a small workshop, so we don’t have that much production.
In the wholesale market, some companies have their own factories, while others buy goods from various factories. The Heji Wholesale store opposite the Hongmian Garment Factory wholesale stall is the latter.
Since they are competitors, and since they sell similar types of clothing, there is some competition between them, so the relationship between them is average.
After the morning market ended that day, Liu Mianmian and Liu Anmin came to see what was going on. As soon as they got nearby, they heard the people from Heji Wholesale chirping at them.
"I heard they've doubled their stock. I don't know where they got that confidence from. Business at the wholesale stalls in our area is pretty much the same. If we talk about the best business, it's still Amy Clothing. How could they even get a chance? These country bumpkins are hilarious."
"I think they'll be crying in less than two weeks! It's not the same as it was a few years ago when anyone could buy anything as long as it was available. Now, anyone who comes to our Guangzhou market to buy goods will definitely compare prices and check the styles and fabrics. Those shoddy products will end up piled up in the warehouse and moldy."
…
Liu Mianmian glanced at the middle-aged woman who was chirping crickets enthusiastically. She had a big face and high cheekbones. Tsk, she looked a bit like He Xinrong.
But that's normal. Her surname is He, and I heard that the stall mainly sells clothes from Dinghao and another factory. It's also expected that she is related to He Xinrong.
As for the Amy clothing she mentioned, Liu Anmin also introduced it to her. It is said to be the best-selling brand in the entire wholesale market.
Liu Mianmian was not interested in arguing with the proprietress of He Ji. When doing business, it was normal to do well or poorly, and it was also normal for some people to be jealous and some to ridicule. These were nothing, after all, it all came down to strength in the end.
As long as her goods sell well, these people will naturally shut up.
Liu Mianmian walked over without looking around, her steps steady and firm.
Liu Anmin glanced at the people over there and followed Liu Mianmian. He almost wanted to rush over and argue with those people, but as soon as Liu Mianmian left, he immediately realized that he was still not calm enough.
The clothing styles they have this season are all very good. Liu Anmin is very confident that even if they stock twice as much, they will definitely be able to sell them.
The next day was the day when their main models of the season would be launched. As soon as the sky was getting light, a group of people rode tricycles and pushed carts to rush to the wholesale stall.
Even though it was only a little after four in the morning, the wholesale market was already buzzing with people delivering goods to the various stalls. Huge sacks were dragged into the stalls, where the stall owners unpacked them one by one, sorting and arranging them. Just as they were finishing up, around five o'clock, merchants from all over the country began pouring in.
Liu Mianmian was holding a rice ball in her hand, huddled on a small stool in the corner of the stall. While biting the rice ball, she watched several staff members sorting out new clothes, and heard suppressed exclamations from time to time.
“This one is so pretty!”
"Oh my god, I think this is going to be a hit!"
"Look at this pair of pants! They're also bell-bottoms, but the legs look so nice. And this belt, it's such a stylish combination!"
…
Liu Mianmian curled her lips. She was indeed an employee of Hongmian. Look at how good her vision was.
Following a burst of noisy voices, customers soon came to the stall.
The first person to come to the door was a wealthy older woman. She held the bag slung across her chest with both hands and said loudly, "Xiao Hui, you have new styles today! Let me see your new styles!"
This is obviously an old customer, he even called the staff's name.
The girl named Xiao Hui looked back and immediately grinned: "Sister Niu, you're here. You're right. We have new styles today. There are several styles. They are absolutely beautiful and will definitely sell well. I'll get them for you right away."
She quickly picked up a few new styles, carried them to Sister Niu, and introduced them casually: "This long-sleeved dress can be worn when it gets a little cooler. It can also be worn alone. When the weather gets cooler, it will look great with a knitted cardigan."
"That's not all. Look at the thick fabric, isn't it? In fact, if it gets a little colder, it would look even better with a windbreaker or a woolen coat."
Xiao Hui took out a few more photos and said, "Look, this is the drawing our designer made. Doesn't it look upscale and stylish?"
Sister Niu's eyes almost popped out of her head: "It's so beautiful! Here, this dress, give me a hundred of them!"
She grabbed Xiao Hui and said, "Sister, I'm going to take 100 pieces. Can you give me a copy of this photo?"
This kind of thing would definitely be impossible at other wholesale stalls, but Sister Niu is a regular customer of Hongmian, and she knows that Hongmian is different from other wholesale stalls. Not only do they have good attitude towards clothing, but their service is also very meticulous. Generally, as long as the request is not excessive, they will try their best to satisfy it.
Of course, it was also because she got up early and came early that there weren't so many people in the market. If there were too many people, people might not be able to help.
As expected, when Xiao Hui heard Sister Niu's request, she didn't think she had too much work to do. Instead, she smiled and said, "Our boss specially asked us to print more. An old customer like you must get one as a free copy." In fact, the boss originally wanted to make posters, but time and cost did not allow it, so he had to give up.
However, Xiaohui thinks that this photo alone is very good, and other stalls do not offer this kind of service.
Sister Niu took the photo with a smile, took a look at it, and immediately put it carefully into her bag.
She saw that there were not many photos. If she came early, she might be able to get some, but if she came late, they would definitely be gone.
Sister Niu felt that this photo would definitely play a big role. When the time comes, she just needs to learn from what Xiaohui said and show this photo to others. She believes that few people will be able to resist buying it.
"Sister Niu, look at the trench coat in the photo, and this wool coat, they're also our new models. This trench coat comes in three colors. This khaki, our boss says, is a classic and versatile color. It goes with everything, not just a dress, but also a shirt and a sweater."
"And this red color is even more popular. It's so popular, who doesn't like it? Many people are getting married in the second half of the year, so this dress can actually be worn for a wedding, too. It can be worn on a daily basis, and it can be worn for a wedding, so it's perfect."
…
Xiao Hui tried her best to promote the products, and Sister Niu bought another 150 windbreakers of various colors, 200 pairs of flared jeans, and also reserved 50 wool coats that were out of stock.
Xiao Hui and Sister Niu were chatting animatedly, while several other staff members began to entertain inquiring customers. Their sales pitch was similar to Xiao Hui's, and because each of them was so sincere, it didn't seem off-putting, and instead, someone quickly closed a deal.
Each stall here is quite large, and the clothing factory is not far away, so the wholesale stalls do not rent separate shops, and the goods are directly delivered to the store every day.
So starting around six o'clock, there were carts constantly coming in and out of the door of Hongmian Wholesale Stall. Large bags of goods were unpacked, re-selected and packed, and sent out on the carts.
At the beginning, everyone was busy, and no one at other wholesale stalls noticed that the Hongmian wholesale stall was doing surprisingly good business.
After ten o'clock, all the wholesale stalls gradually became idle. People at other wholesale stalls were surprised to find that the Hongmian wholesale stall was still crowded with people.
The people from He Ji were busy all morning, and finally there was no one in front of the door, so several staff members brought small stools and sat in front of the door to rest.
The three girls looked at each other and couldn't help whispering.
"No, why is his business so good today? It's already past ten o'clock, and there are still so many people?!" Girl A was surprised.
"I heard that they have new styles today. I guess all the old customers have received the news and rushed over." Girl B frowned and tried to explain.
"Impossible. Even if the old customers came to buy the new goods, which stall has so many old customers?" Miss C asked firmly.
The three of them fell into a strange silence.
Since they are not old customers, there is only one possibility, that is, their new models this season are very good-looking and have attracted many new customers.
Although this may be the truth, none of them dared to speak out this guess.
After all, they didn't say anything, but their boss lady already looked like she was about to be mad to death. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to add fuel to the fire at this time.
"Bah, they must have too much stock and are afraid of overstocking, so they sell it cheap on purpose." The proprietress of He Ji glared at the opposite side angrily for a long time, and finally a light bulb went off in her head, and she finally found a reason.
After she said it, she thought about it carefully and felt that her guess was very reasonable. "Yes, that must be the case. It's sold cheaply, so there are so many people. These people are really short-sighted. They only know how to get a bargain. Don't they understand that cheap products are not good? Our products are made of real materials. The price is a little higher, but the quality is good!"
She sat there muttering to herself, and the three employees secretly exchanged glances that showed they understood each other. Their boss lady was as confident as ever!
This situation lasted for several days. Every day when people in Heji were free, they could see crowds of people on the opposite side. Even this "grand occasion" did not weaken with the passage of time. On the contrary, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.
Anyway, there are definitely a lot of people gathered at Hongmian’s gate.
They had secretly counted them when they were bored, and the number had been growing steadily, and the rate of increase was getting higher and higher.
Finally one day, the proprietress of He Ji heard from the owners of other stalls that Hongmian's sales had exceeded Amy Clothing for three consecutive days. She heard that Hongmian Garment Factory was urgently recruiting people to work overtime because several of their styles were sold out and the supply could not meet the demand.
"I heard that their dress, windbreaker, and jeans are all sold out. They sell out every single one they produce. Some people even wait outside the factory door. As soon as the goods are produced, they are immediately snatched up."
"And, I heard that surrounding garment factories have been secretly buying up their best-selling items, preparing to tear them down and copy them! Who would have thought that a small workshop like Hongmian Garment Factory would be copied by its peers?"
…
Not to mention the proprietress of Heji, who had been envious and jealous to the point of having her eyes turn red, even those people from Dinghao Garment Factory and those who spoke sourly were slapped in the face this time.
