Chapter 244

Meng Huaiqing paused for a moment, then handed the pickaxe to Miao Sheng, "Let's talk after we finish."

Qin Xiang glanced at the two of them. Meng Huaiqing knew what was going on.

The problem in Pengcheng, is that the next project that Meng Huaiqing mentioned has a problem?

With Meng Huaiqing's current status, the government can't make things difficult for him, so could it be his colleagues?

Qin Xiang was puzzled, and seeing that he was not in a hurry, he ignored it.

Although Miao Sheng was anxious, he still went over and continued to dig holes.

However, both of them were bad at farming, and Miao Sheng's hands were blistered after a while.

Qin Xiang did a lot of farm work, but knowing how to do it doesn't mean he is happy to do it. He was unwilling to do anything just because he saw them struggling there.

Finally, one of Meng Huaiqing's bodyguards, who used to work in the countryside, dug the hole in no time.

Two wisterias were planted, watered, and covered with a layer of soil.

Not far away, there was actually a grape plant planted at the end of October before the New Year. Unfortunately, it was left there without anyone to take care of it, and it didn't even sprout this year.

Qin Xiang squatted there to watch, "Can these two plants survive?"

Meng Huaiqing said seriously, "Definitely."

After the two finished their work and had dinner, Meng Huaiqing left.

Qin Xiang sighed and went back to the study to think about her own things.

There was no need to continue cooperation with Hangzhou Second Garment Factory. Next, we have to wait for news from the deputy mayor.

The next day, Mi Hongjun went to Hangzhou in person and called Qin Xiang. "When I came, Yao Yufeng was not there. Their deputy director did meet me and said that they had to wait until after the clothing exhibition to deliver the products. I asked him about the goods from Qiang and he said he didn't know. I didn't waste my words on him and directly brought up the contract. They actually wanted to cheat and didn't want to refund the money."

No one wanted to return the money, even though Qin Xiang only paid the initial deposit. As long as they delay, the goods will not be delivered.

But the market is like this. What comes out first is always fresh. Who can they sell it to after the freshness wears off?

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Then tell them directly that if they cannot deliver the goods within the contract period, then we will go to court. Otherwise, we will delay the payment for the goods after the goods are delivered, and we will never have any contact with them again. Let them choose for themselves."

Although the clothes of Hangzhou Second Garment Factory are not bad, they are not irreplaceable.

What is most lacking these days is clothing factories. A good clothing factory must not only be able to produce good products, but also have a good reputation and be spread by word of mouth.

No matter what the reason is for them to reach an agreement with Na Qiang, they have breached the contract.

Let them make money from Na Qiang, as long as Na Qiang can make money for them.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang was not worried. Mi Hongjun was still a younger brother in front of her. He was very arrogant outside, so she didn't worry at all.

As a result, in the evening, Yao Yufeng called her in person and apologized to her.

Qin Xiang asked what happened, and Yao Yufeng was also very depressed, "It was all caused by that deputy director."

It turned out that when Yao Yufeng was running for deputy director last year, she lost to the then director Chi by one vote. Later, Director Chi became deputy director Chi, but he didn't have a good face for Yao Yufeng. When he learned that Qin Xiang was a customer introduced by Yao Yufeng, Deputy Director Chi didn't like her very much, but Qin Xiang had a large order volume and it was not easy to offend her, so they had been at peace before.

This year, Na Qiang somehow found the Second Clothing Factory and got acquainted with Deputy Factory Director Chi. Then this incident happened, the purpose of which was to annoy Qin Xiang.

Of course, Na Qiang’s idea was best not to supply Qin Xiang, but Deputy Director Chi was not stupid and knew which was more important, so he came up with this bad idea in an attempt to control Qin Xiang. Yao Yufeng sighed and said, "I guess he is waiting for you to give him a gift."

Qin Xiang was shocked, "I gave him a gift, and then he supplied me with goods, but he won’t supply Na Qiang next time?"

She was so angry that she almost laughed, "Director Yao, although I can understand the hardship of the matter, the loss I suffered is real, and your factory breached the contract first, so we have the right to pursue your obligations."

Even if the issuance process is not so standardized now, the contract is clearly written, and if it really goes to court, the court will have to rely on the agreement.

Yao Yufeng apologized hurriedly, "I understand, I understand, I have reported the matter to our factory director, and he is already dealing with it. I will give you a reply by the afternoon at the latest, okay?"

Qin Xiang said, "Okay, isn't Mi Hongjun there? You can contact him there, I still have to go to class."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Mi Hongjun called again. Obviously Yao Yufeng had also contacted him. The words were similar. Mi Hongjun said, "I talked to their factory director once, and the other party's attitude was not bad. He promised to give us a 20% discount on all the goods this time. They will be shipped tonight and delivered by direct truck. There is no restriction on us taking the goods to the fashion exhibition. I have already agreed. "

Qin Xiang nodded, "That's fine."

Mi Hongjun advised, "Don't be angry with them. We have paid the money. Even if we go to court, we may just get a refund in the end. It's not too late to get this batch of goods first and send it directly. Since we don't plan to cooperate with them anymore and the price we got is low, we might as well use this batch of goods to trick Na Qiang. Doesn't he like to engage in price wars? Let's just fight him. He has imported a lot of goods this time. We will make him lose everything."

Qin Xiang was happy to hear this, "Okay, just do as you say."

The truck from Hangzhou set out that afternoon and supplied goods to several branches along the way. It didn't arrive in the capital until the day before the trade fair.

Because the capital is going to hold a clothing fair, there are a lot more people on the streets recently. All the hotels, warehouses and the like near the convention center have been rented out.

It's a bit far from Tsinghua University, but not far from a branch of "Xiang Lian", and there happens to be a large rented warehouse there, which is perfect for storing goods.

Most of the goods shipped from Yangcheng, Ningcheng, and Hangzhou are piled up in this warehouse. Because he is worried, Qin Baotian has lived here for several days in a row, just to guard the goods.

The first day of the clothing fair is Saturday. Qin Xiang originally had classes in the morning and asked for leave. He rushed to the warehouse early in the morning and pulled the clothes over with Mi Hongjun and others who had already returned.

They had to bring their clothes racks with them, so they went over, registered with their badges, and found their booth. They signed up early, paid more money, and chose a better location, which was visible from the entrance. The area was also large, and although the width was not large, the length was more than ten meters.

There are still few booths like this, and Qin Xiang and his friends were lucky enough to get

one. There were already many people setting up the booths.

The clothes were opened and classified, with skirts hung alone on one side, and tops and summer clothes hung on the other side. If there was no room on the wall, they were hung on the clothes racks on the ground. It was a dazzling array.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Xiang rented two booths and a smaller booth in another place, which contained men's clothing and sportswear. There have always been few styles of men's clothing, and it doesn't look out of place when paired with sportswear.

As for home textiles and wedding dresses, Qin Xiang didn't bring any. Home textiles are average and business has been lukewarm. Wedding dresses are good, but most of them are custom-made, so it's troublesome to bring them over.

Tan Xiu personally went to the men's clothing area with a clerk, and Qin Xiang and Mi Hongjun brought three clerks to guard the large exhibition hall.

The clothes were ready and packed. It was already past eight o'clock. Qin Xiang took out some specially made price tags and hung them on the clothes so that people could see the prices at a glance.

Of course, the prices posted were all retail prices. Wholesalers naturally negotiated prices separately, and no price was the same.

After cleaning up, Qin Xiang strolled around the venue. Not far away, he saw Na Qiang's booth. The area was not small, and the clothes inside were hung up full, most of which were clothes from the Second Clothing Factory.

Seeing Qin Xiang coming, Na Qiang shouted proudly, "Look, Boss Qin is free. Big bosses are different. They don't have to do everything themselves. Their younger brothers will do it for them."

Qin Xiang glanced at him and said, "That's right. Unlike that boss, he only has two people under him. He can't order anyone around."

Na Qiang was tidying up his clothes. Hearing this, his face darkened. "Boss Qin should be more virtuous."

"That boss actually knows what it means to be virtuous?" She sneered, shook her head and walked away.

Na Qiang gritted his teeth, "Don't be so proud."

Qin Xiang looked back at him and said faintly, "I'm talking about you."

At nine o'clock, the exhibition officially began. As soon as the door opened, curious people in the capital came to see the excitement. Small merchants and vendors in the surrounding areas also came out to buy goods, and self-employed people from all over the country also went out to look for business opportunities.

After all, the location is good, the prices are eye-catching, and the styles are beautiful. Soon the exhibition hall was surrounded by customers who came to look at clothes.

The weather is warmer, and some people just put on and try them on.

Some people are still looking at spring styles, while others just buy summer styles.

Small merchants and vendors and some self-employed people have clear goals and come directly for summer styles.

There are various varieties of summer styles, which are dazzling and much more fashionable than the clothes they have seen locally. For a while, there was a surge of people.

There were quite a few people at Na Qiang's place, some of whom asked about the price, but after asking about the price, they shook their heads and left, saying that the price was too high.

Na Qiang might not have thought much of it at first, but after a while he realized that something was wrong. It had been almost two hours and he had only sold a few retail clothes, and none of the wholesale ones were sold. No one at the clothing exhibition expected to make money from retail, but everyone wanted to make money from wholesale by selling at a low profit margin. What would he do if no one came to wholesale?

Na Qiang called his store clerk to look around to see what was going on, but the clerk looked around but couldn't find the reason.

It was almost noon when Na Qiang's father came to bring him lunch. He looked at his clothes and said, "Hey, why do I see a stall at the door, and the clothes inside are almost exactly the same as yours?"

Na Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Qin Xiang and the meaningful look in her eyes in the morning.

What else did he not understand at this moment? They were waiting here to mess with him.

Na Qiang went out to take a look in person. Wow, there was a booth at the door of the trade fair, and the clothes hanging inside were exactly the same as his. Zhao Ping brought several people to guard it. The clothes were selling very fast. Except for the different tags, everything else was the same, and there were a lot of goods piled up at the back.

Na Qiang's head was buzzing as he stood aside and listened to their quotes. At least one piece of clothing was cheaper by one yuan.

If there were only a few pieces of clothing, it wouldn't be noticeable, but what if there were too many?

The money is made from wholesale. One hundred pieces of wholesale means one hundred yuan!

Na Qiang felt that he couldn't breathe well. He wanted to go forward and argue, but he was not in the right in this matter. He could only go back angrily and ask the clerk to change the price, which was fifty cents cheaper than the price of Zhao Ping at the door.

Na Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. I don't believe that I can't beat her."

As soon as Na Qiang lowered the price, Qin Xiang soon found out. According to Qin Xiang's request, Zhao Ping lowered the price by another fifty cents on the basis of Na Qiang's price. Anyway, he just followed Na Qiang's request.

After Na Qiang sold several batches of goods, he was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to sell them. This batch of goods included spring and summer styles. If they were not sold, it would be a big problem.

It was estimated that there would be a period of slow sales after the trade fair. What should he do if he didn't sell them?

However, not long after the goods were sold, no one came to buy them. They asked about the price and left. When Na Qiang went out to see, his blood rushed to his head. Zhao Ping lowered the price again. Zhao Ping

seemed to notice Na Qiang's eyes, and he glared at him and smiled at Na Qiang viciously. Na Qiang's heart skipped a beat and he hurried back.

Damn, what kind of person is this?

Na Qiang was furious, but he didn't dare to lower the price any further. If he did, he would be the one who would suffer the most. He only had one store, while Qin Xiang had more than a dozen branches, so he didn't lack money at all. Qin Xiang was clearly trying to punish him for his behavior of snatching goods. It was really a price war. Qin Xiang didn't care about the money, but he did.

Na Qiang gritted his teeth and went directly to find the person in charge of the exhibition.

The exhibition set up a separate small room here to deal with problems. Na Qiang went there directly to report the problem of setting up booths at the door. However, the people at the exhibition knew about it and said, "They paid double the money. We also have to spend money for the exhibition, and they didn't delay anyone from walking, so it's not easy for us to stop them."

The meaning was clear: people have paid, so they can set up the booths, and they don't care.

Na Qiang said again, "They deliberately started a price war with us."

The person in charge shook his head, "Then I can't control this. Logically, the goods from one factory should be sold by one company, and the brands they deliver are not repeated. We don't know why the clothes of your two companies are of the same style. We can't intervene in how the prices are set."

Na Qiang had a hard time speaking, and he talked for a while and tried to push money over, but the person in charge directly refused, "Comrade, this is not good. If you think there is a problem, you can negotiate with them, but it's not a good idea."

After that, he sent Na Qiang out.

Na Qiang's face was terribly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and went directly to find Qin Xiang.

As soon as he left, the person in charge sneered, "Ten yuan to send a beggar."

You know, the store next door is offering a hundred yuan.

Qin Xiang doesn't lack that little money. She can even give up the profit to deal with that strong man.

Naturally, someone came to tell her about the fight between the two sides. Qin Xiang sneered while helping the self-employed to match clothes, "Wait, maybe he will come to me again."

Mi Hongjun secretly said, "In fact, I saw him just now. He stood aside and watched for a long time and then left."

Qin Xiang decided, "He will come again."

As she was talking, someone came and wanted to talk to Qin Xiang directly.

Qin Xiang said, "Sorry, boss, I'm busy here. Let's talk later." There

were many people, both retailers and wholesalers. Even though the booth was large, people were crowded and lined up to get the goods.

Qin Baotian has been busy looking for goods since then. In addition, there are two people who specialize in transporting goods back and forth between the warehouse and the exhibition. If the quantity of goods required is really large, Mi Hongjun will take people to the warehouse directly to get the goods.

In short, it is very busy.

Looking at the busy scene in other people's stores, and then thinking about the sparsely populated scene in his own booth, Na Qiang couldn't help being angry.

Even though he knew that he had provoked this matter, he didn't want to admit it at this moment. He just felt that Qin Xiang deliberately made trouble for him and made him embarrassed and unable to make money.

Na Qiang waited for a while and found that there were not fewer people, so he was a little unhappy, "What do you want? If you force me into a corner, I will overturn your booth and no one will make money."
