Chapter 173

I met an acquaintance in Hangzhou, and I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance in Guangzhou as well.

That acquaintance was none other than the elder brother who went with Liu Minhua to buy goods in Hangzhou. However, Qin Xiang had been friends with Liu Minhua and had dinner together, but they had never spoken to each other.

Qin Xiang remembered that the other person's last name was Wu, and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wu, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The young girl saw that the two knew each other and was a little confused, "Wu Gang, do you know this boss?"

Wu Gang was also surprised to see Qin Xiang here, put down the things in his hands, came over and smiled, "Yes, she is the little Qin from Shandong Province that your sister mentioned before. We only know that Xiao Qin was admitted to Tsinghua University, and we didn't expect to meet her in Guangzhou."

Wu Gang asked Qin Xiang, "Are you in Guangzhou for fun or something?"

Qin Xiang did not hide it, "I came here to purchase goods. I came to visit the night market while I was free."

She looked at the stall, and then at the two people, and she also found it strange. Although she and Liu Minhua had not had much contact in the past two years, they would send each other some special products during the holidays. However, Liu Minhua only said that Wu Gang and her sister had come to Guangzhou, but she didn't expect that they had quietly opened such a clothing factory.

Wu Gang scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."

At this time, another customer came. Wu Gang asked Liu Minhua's sister to greet him. He took two stools and sat down to chat with Qin Xiang. He did not ignore what Qin Xiang said about purchasing goods. He asked directly, "Are you here to wholesale clothes?" He pointed to his goods and smiled, "Just take a look. If you like them, I'll give you a discount."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Then I certainly can't be polite."

The two chatted and found out that Wu Gang had partnered with someone to open this factory last year. He didn't know how to design and was only responsible for sales, while his partner was a college graduate, and the clothes were all designed by each other. The two had a good plan, but they didn't expect that because the factory was too small, the business was not going well.

Wu Gang, as the factory manager, was naturally anxious, so he brought his people to the night market to set up a stall.

Wu Gang said embarrassedly, "To be honest, today is our first time here, and I didn't expect to run into you."

Qin Xiang said seriously, "The clothes here are pretty good, not worse than those from some big factories. Is there something wrong with your sales method?"

Speaking of this, Wu Gang was helpless, "Doing business is like this, it's easy to get into a vicious cycle. At first, the salesmen didn't work hard, and it was too late when they found out. They had no money to pay their wages, so the workers complained, and the clothes they made had problems, isn't it?"

He frowned and said, "I got ruthless a while ago and dismissed all the previous people, borrowed money to recruit new workers to produce these clothes. If they still can't sell them, we can only declare bankruptcy."

Qin Xiang didn't know what to say.

Although in the 1980s, even a pig standing at the vent of the wind could fly to the sky, it is not so easy to do well.

It is not enough to seize the opportunity, but you also need to have the ability to open up the situation.

Wu Gang and his team obviously lack funds and have problems in management, which has led to so many problems.

However, Wu Gang can find and correct the problems in time, and she thinks Wu Gang will definitely be able to develop, it is just a matter of time. Wu Gang's clothes are of good quality and the styles are also novel, so Qin Xiang doesn't mind lending a hand at this time.

Qin Xiang said, "If the clothes in your factory can maintain this quality and quality, I can order a batch of goods."

Wu Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Liu Minhua's sister Liu Minli had been listening to their conversation with her ears erect. When she heard Qin Xiang's words, she came over and guaranteed, "We can guarantee it. Now I check every product before it leaves the factory. There will definitely be no problems."

When they started their business, her sister warned them about this. They must control the quality of the products, otherwise no one would want them no matter how cheap they were, and it would also damage their reputation.

They have always remembered these.

Qin Xiang smiled, "In that case, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

"Okay." Wu Gang smiled and nodded.

Liu Minli reacted faster and quickly took out a card from her pocket, "Here is the address of our factory, you can come to our factory to check."

Qin Xiang glanced at the address and found that the location was a bit off, but it was okay, they were all in Yangcheng, just find a car to go there.

After agreeing on this, Qin Xiang got up and said goodbye. Liu Minli was reluctant to leave, "You must go tomorrow."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, I will definitely go."

This has to be said to be a damn fate. She even suspected that she was God's daughter. She just lost a supply factory and a new factory came.

It doesn't matter if it's a small factory. As long as the clothes are well designed and the quality is good enough, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After leaving here, Qin Xiang felt better, and Mi Hongjun was also very happy. "Sister, I took a look while you were chatting. These clothes are all good. Although there are fewer autumn styles, they are also good. They are all styles I have never seen before. The patterns of some sweaters are very beautiful."

Qin Xiang smiled, "This can reduce a lot of pressure. But we must also learn lessons and not put all our eggs in one basket. "We have to go to the stores that Guan Zhihong introduced."

Mi Hongjun said happily, "I understand."

Qin Xiang's luck was far better than that. The three of them wandered to the end of the night market and actually found another good stall. However, the clothes were just like those of other stall owners, piled on the ground casually. If Qin Xiang hadn't been happy because she met a familiar person and found a suitable source of goods, she might not have squatted down to check.

It was a long-sleeved dress, light blue, which was not very conspicuous under the lights in the dark. However, when Qin Xiang picked it up and took a look, she was stunned.

This was a silk dress.

Qin Xiang suddenly remembered at this time that the place where silk should appear most was Suzhou and Hangzhou. Why didn't she think of it when she was in Hangzhou?

Speaking of silk, the first thing that comes to mind is the cheongsam made of silk. The silk cheongsam made by skilled craftsmen is beautiful and of good quality. When worn by people with good temperament, it is indeed high-end.

Because silk has a lofty status since ancient times, silk and porcelain have been the main products for domestic export and foreign exchange earnings after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a silk market was specially established this year, which shows that the development prospects of the silk industry are not bad.

But Qin Xiang was unable to accept the association of high-end silk with street stalls. It is

a waste of natural resources.

The dress in front of her is not a cheongsam, but a modified dress. However, due to the material of silk, it is particularly drapey, and the workmanship and fabric are all good.

Just piled up here like this...

Qin Xiang couldn't help frowning.

This was the end of the night market, with few people. The boss squatted at the back and looked up at them without moving. "If you like, take a look. They are all good goods from Hangzhou. You can't find them in Guangzhou." He

had been here for half a month and hadn't sold many items. Wholesalers would leave immediately after asking the price, not to mention retailers. His patience was exhausted. He had planned that as long as someone wanted them, he would sell them quickly and then go back to Suzhou instead of staying here. People said that Guangzhou could make money, but in his opinion, it was just like that. It could also be that he was not destined to make a fortune. Now he just hoped not to lose money.

Qin Xiang was not sensitive to accents, so she did not recognize the accent of this person. She just felt strange that silk from Hangzhou was treated like this in Guangzhou?

And was this boss a businessman?

Qin Xiang raised the clothes in her hand and asked, "Can the price be cheaper if you want more?"

The boss looked at her and said, "Yes. The more you want, the cheaper it will be. If you can take all of them, I will give you a more favorable price."

So Qin Xiang handed the things in her hand to Zhao Ping and said to Mi Hongjun, "Come with me to pick."

Mi Hongjun had been following Qin Xiang for so long that his eyesight had been trained. Qin Xiang gave an order and Mi Hongjun immediately began to search.

The two of them felt distressed as they looked through the clothes. It was a waste of such good things to be piled up here.

The two put the ones they had picked out aside and looked through the others.

Qin Xiang slowly saw the problem as she looked through them. Not all the clothes were in good condition. Some of them already had flaws, but they were just mixed together. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell what was wrong.

The two searched for nearly an hour. During this time, some people came over to take a look and asked about the prices because of the excitement, but they were scared away by the prices.

The prices were a bit high. Buying one silk dress could buy two Dacron dresses.

Qin Xiang didn't care about that and looked through the pile. The two found more than a hundred skirts in total.

Qin Xiang said, "Give me a fair price and I'll take all of them, or I won't take any of them."

The boss didn't seem to be scared by this. He glanced at the clothes and then at Qin Xiang, and held up three fingers. "Take them all. Three thousand yuan."

Qin Xiang frowned. After all, there were still many defective clothes among these clothes.

But if we don't count those, just count the ones on hand, it doesn't seem expensive. It's a great bargain for free. Take the defective ones back and talk about it. Even if you use them as rags, you won't lose anything. For such a big skirt, it's really impossible to cut off the defective ones and turn them into children's clothes.

Qin Xiang nodded, "Deal."

Qin Xiang winked at Zhao Ping, and Zhao Ping took the money and handed it over.

The boss wanted to help pack the clothes, but Qin Xiang said, "No, I'll do it myself."

Just kidding, she was worried that the clothes would be damaged by the boss's rudeness.

Silk clothes are not like other clothes. If you are not careful, they will be easily snagged and damaged. She also wants to take the clothes back and sell them for a high price.

The two of them carefully put the clothes back into the bag and left with the things. After walking for a while, Mi Hongjun said, "I have an idea."

Qin Xiang said, "Tell me."

Mi Hongjun said, "There seem to be many craftsmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I think these defects are not a big problem. What do you think about finding someone to embroider or repair the defects?"

Qin Xiang stopped and clapped her hands, "This is a good idea. As long as the repair pattern is designed in advance, it may be sold at a higher price."

She definitely didn't buy these silk clothes to sell directly in the store. The price is too expensive and it is different from the positioning of her store. Her idea is to open another store in the capital, specializing in high-end women's clothing, and the quality and style of this batch of silk clothes can be used as the first batch of goods. There are many wealthy families in the capital, which is incomparable to other small places. For high-end products, it doesn't matter how many stores there are. Just open one first.

With this idea in mind, Qin Xiang couldn't stay any longer. She wanted to run back to Hangzhou or Suzhou to find such a craftsman. Of course, she also knew that if she wanted to repair it and sell it at a good price, she had to find a trustworthy master with good craftsmanship. After

they returned to the hotel, Qin Xiang couldn't wait until tomorrow. She turned on all the lights in the room. Qin Xiang and Mi Hongjun poured all the clothes in the bag on the bed, pulled the mobile hanger in the room over, and took out the clothes one by one and hung them up, which made Qin Xiang even happier.

This is really a treasure.

Except for those with defects, these clothes are perfect in terms of fabric, workmanship and design.

This made Qin Xiang even more confused. Where did the boss get these clothes from?

There were still tags on the clothes. After taking a look, she found that the manufacturer was in Hangzhou. But it was an unknown factory.

Qin Xiang thought for a while, picked up the phone and called Tan Xiu in Suzhou, but she forgot. It was almost ten o'clock and Tan Xiu was resting.

Hanging up the phone with regret, Qin Xiang said, "Let's sort it out first. I'll let Tan Xiu investigate tomorrow morning."

When buying the clothes, she was busy with Diaobao and forgot to ask about the origin of the clothes, to make sure they were not of legitimate origin.

Zhao Ping's fingers were rough, so he didn't dare to touch these things. Qin Xiang and Mi Hongjun sorted out these silk clothes overnight. They had picked out 168 intact ones before, and there were about 20 intact ones in the remaining pile. There were 175 defective ones. They were all from the same factory, and the defects were different. Some were snagged, and most of them had a hole the size of a two-cent coin.

Some of these defects were only one, and some even had two or three.

People who can afford silk will definitely not buy such defective ones at a cheap price, and how many people who come to the night market are willing to buy such expensive clothes?

The price quoted by the boss for each piece is not low, but when it comes to her, the package price is very cheap.

It's amazing.

As long as these clothes come from a normal source, then she really picked up a treasure.

The clothes in her shop are all of good quality and affordable price, but she also understands what kind of people's money is easier to make.

It's easy to make money from rich ladies. If she doesn't open a shop with high-end clothes, it's fine. Once she opens, the money from selling one piece of clothes may be enough for her to spend for half a year. Many people in the capital look low-key, but after all, it is the capital of the country, and many people with rich families are particular about their appearance.

She can't not try it. Anyway, this kind of clothes is not afraid of being out of date. She doesn't believe that she can't open up the market by buying a small shop and slowly making a living.

But these alone were not enough. She still had to go to Suzhou to find a suitable OEM factory. She could design by herself, and if the customer didn't like the finished product, she could make it for him!

After packing up, they went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Qin Xiang couldn't wait to call Tan Xiu and asked her to investigate the silk factory. Although Tan Xiu was busy, she knew that Qin Xiang's instructions would be useful, so she agreed to go and find out.

Qin Xiang couldn't be idle either. She had already agreed with Guan Zhihong last night that she would take them to visit the factory directors of several factories in the afternoon when Guan Zhibin was free. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have to treat them to dinner in the evening.

There were also arrangements in the morning. She made an appointment with Wu Gang last night to visit their clothing factory and discuss cooperation if it was appropriate.

Looking at the itinerary in the notebook, Qin Xiang suddenly felt that it was necessary to hire an assistant. Although Zhao Ping was not bad, he was not careful enough.

As for the others, each had his own area of ​​responsibility, and the remaining He Liping was still in charge of the finances of her shops.

It seemed that more people had to be hired.

After breakfast, the three of them found a car and went directly to Wu Gang's factory.

However, they didn't expect the car to go more and more remote, and it was getting farther and farther away from the city.

It was not that scary, because there was Zhao Ping next to him. Looking at the address in his hand, Qin Xiang realized that it was still 1986, and even in Guangzhou, remote places had not developed.

When they arrived at a place that looked like a village, the driver stopped, dropped the person off, and drove away in a flash.

Mi Hongjun scratched his head, "Why are we in the wilderness?"

But since they were here, they couldn't just go back. The three of them went forward and saw a large courtyard with several rows of houses.

At this time, Liu Minli came out and saw them coming. She hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, the guests are coming."

So before Qin Xiang could react, the sound of firecrackers rang out.

Qin Xiang: "..."
