Chapter 245
Hearing this, Qin Xiang stood up straight, looked at Na Qiang, and smiled, "Then you can try it. Believe it or not, if you smash it, I will make you step on the sewing machine, and you will have to pay me double the damage."
She said it lightly, but the anger and powerlessness in Na Qiang's heart surged rapidly.
He had been staring at Qin Xiang all the time, and of course he knew something about her movements. She was a very powerful woman.
She had been to the port city and entered the city government.
She also had a say with the people in the city government. He had no doubt that if he really dared to do that, Qin Xiang would really send him to step on the sewing machine.
The country is vigorously developing the economy and allowing competition, but it does not allow violence caused by competition. There have been many cases of violent conflicts caused by competition on TV, and the ending of the instigator is not very good every time.
Na Qiang gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Don't push me too far."
Qin Xiang laughed, handed the things in his hand to Mi Hongjun, looked at him and said, "Na Qiang, this is asking you to do the first day of the month and I will do the fifteenth. If you don't deliberately go to the Second Clothing Factory to buy goods at a low price to annoy me, will I do this? If you want to compete with me, then come on, and if you want to try the three abuses, come on. You also know that I am not short of money, people, or power now, you can try more."
After saying that, Qin Xiang ignored him. Na Qiang
would not dare to do it even if he was given a hundred courageous people.
If Qin Xiang or Na Qiang from the capital just now dared to act brazenly, Na Qiang would not dare to do so with Qin Xiang now.
Na Qiang gritted his teeth and turned around to continue lowering the price.
Mi Hongjun chuckled twice, "I guess he will have to lower the price again."
Qin Xiang laughed, "They like to lower the price, and we are no exception. Tell Brother Zhao, and then continue to lower the price by 50 cents later. He will be killed."
It was just a batch of goods. Qin Xiang's purchase price was not high, and it was definitely lower than Na Qiang's. Even if she lost money on this batch of goods, she could afford it.
But Na Qiang was not sure. Na Qiang's reputation was almost ruined before. If it was ruined again this time, he really couldn't do it anymore.
Na Qiang would lower the price again, but if the selling price was lower than 115% of the purchase price, Na Qiang would undoubtedly suffer a loss. Qin Xiang sold this batch of goods at the lowest price. Anyway, she didn't plan to purchase from the second clothing factory in the future.
Although this matter had little to do with Yao Yufeng, it also made her see the disadvantages of this factory.
She didn't want to play around anymore.
Summer was coming soon. During the long summer, the workmanship of clothing was relatively simple. The two OEM factories could almost make it. Before autumn came, they would try to run the factory and produce winter clothes again.
Qin Xiang's plan was very good, and Na Qiang was indeed as she expected. Perhaps to save face, the price was reduced by two cents based on the price set by Zhao Ping.
But two cents was not noticeable. Most people just placed an order at the door, and there was not much difference.
Na Qiang had no choice but to reduce the price by another 30 cents. But Zhao Ping outside reduced the price by another 50 cents just after Na Qiang's price reduction.
In this way, the first day was spent in mutual price reduction.
Qin Xiang's large booth was very lucrative, hundreds of order agreements had been signed, and large quantities of goods were already in stock. Na Qiang didn't sell much after a day of hard work, and the price was reduced to a low point.
Na Qiang had no doubt that Qin Xiang would fight with him again tomorrow, just to make trouble for him. Na Qiang was
a little anxious. He packed up the things in the booth and loaded them into the truck to drive out. He passed by Qin Xiang's booth and watched them talking and laughing while packing samples. He hated them to death in his heart.
Qin Xiang also saw Na Qiang and was in a good mood. "Boss, business is good today. Isn't it time to ask Deputy Factory Manager Chi to purchase some goods?"
Na Qiang had a gloomy face and said nothing. He glared at Qin Xiang and left.
After he left, Mi Hongjun worriedly asked, "Will he do something behind my back?"
Qin Xiang said, "It's hard to say. Let Lin Zhi and Brother Zhao go to the warehouse to guard it tonight. If anything happens, report it to the police directly."
Mi Hongjun frowned and nodded, "I'll go there tonight too."
"Whatever you want."
There were beds for sleeping in the warehouse, and with Mi Hongjun there would be four people. She instructed, "It's still cool at night, so bring more beds and quilts."
Mi Hongjun agreed, "I understand." When
the things were pulled to the warehouse, it was already past seven o'clock. Qin Xiang invited everyone to the hotel for a big meal, and then the party ended. Assistant Liu came to pick her up, and Qin Xiang said, "Don't worry, I have to go to the storefront to make a phone call to place an order." Qin Xiang's
throat was a little uncomfortable because she had been talking all day.
Assistant Liu drove them over, and Qin Xiang went upstairs to make a phone call. Xiang Yanghong and Yi Mei had also come over, but they didn't meet them. Qin Xiang called Xiang Yanghong, and it was He Shengnan who answered the phone. As soon as she answered the phone, she said happily, "Boss Qin, I heard that business is very good today."
Qin Xiang smiled, "Thanks to you, but I heard that your booth is not bad either."
He Shengnan's mood improved, "It's also thanks to you, otherwise our factory would not have such good sales."
The deputy director and the sales department of their factory had just finished the call and reported the results. Although it was not as good as Qin Xiang's booth, it was not bad. They also signed some order agreements and sold a lot of the spot goods that were brought over, which was enough for this quarter's sales.
He Shengnan said, "You want to place an order, right? Miao Xiaofeng has already gone there to urge them. Your workers work in two shifts, and if they work overtime, they can send a batch the day after tomorrow."
Qin Xiang was relieved when she heard that. After chatting for a while, she called Yimei again. This exhibition was Liu Minhua's sister Liu Minjun, and Wu Gang was also staying in the factory to manage production. Because of time constraints, Qin Xiang didn't see him.
When the call was connected, Wu Gang said, "I understand, I understand, ordering, right? We are in production."
Qin Xiang laughed. It is easy to cooperate with smart people. You don't have to say anything. They understand and make arrangements. Then Qin Xiang reported the quantity and said, "Ship the goods as soon as possible."
"Understood, understood."
The trade fair lasted for a week. The order agreement was signed, and Qin Xiang naturally hoped to ship the goods as soon as possible.
Most of the self-employed and small businesses that came to the exhibition were from the north, and there were really few from the south. Therefore, except for the goods on the way to the capital, the rest could only be shipped by Qin Xiang after arriving in the capital.
At this time, the importance of vehicles became more and more apparent.
But cars in this era are very expensive. Qin Xiang has to save his money to build a factory now, so he really can't afford to buy a car.
So she started thinking about Hong Kong stocks again.
The money she made before the New Year was so easy that she wanted to make another fortune.
Qin Xiang sat there for a long time without moving. After a while, someone came up. Qin Xiang thought it was Mi Hongjun and did not move.
Assistant Liu came up and said, "Miss Qin, the gentleman asked you to go back and have a good rest before he left. It's getting late, why don't you go back and have a rest?"
Qin Xiang was startled, nodded and stood up, "Okay."
She went back to the courtyard, washed up and fell asleep. The next morning, she was energetic again.
Arriving at the entrance of the exhibition, Qin Xiang saw a familiar figure. Zhao Ping approached her and said, "I think I saw He Chenghua."
Qin Xiang frowned slightly, "Why is he here?"
Zhao Ping shook his head and said, "I seemed to have seen him yesterday, but I didn't dare to recognize him. I saw him clearly this morning. It was indeed him. I saw him and a few other people pulling a few carts of clothes. It seemed that he was also here to participate in the exhibition."
Participate in the exhibition?
He Chenghua also entered the clothing industry?
Qin Xiang shook her head, "Ignore him, just pretend that I didn't see him."
They saw He Chenghua, and Na Qiang naturally saw He Chenghua.
But they pretended not to see him, but Na Qiang went straight to He Chenghua with a clear purpose, wanting to sell the goods to He Chenghua because he thought that this batch of goods could not be sold.
He Chenghua looked at Na Qiang with a half-smile and said, "You schemed against others but failed, so you schemed against me. Na Qiang, don't you think about it? Is your head strong enough for me to kick it?"
His words made Na Qiang stiffen. He smiled and said, "Brother Hua, I have no choice now. Qin Xiang won't give me a way out. As long as I lower the price, she will lower it more than me. She can afford the loss, but I can't. If I continue to lose money today, I will be really helpless. Brother Hua, please help me. Why don't you go talk to her and ask her to let me off the hook? I won't place orders from the factory anymore. At least let me sell all these goods, okay?"
He Chenghua rubbed his chin, as if thinking about this, and said through gritted teeth, "If it doesn't work, I'll sell it to you at the purchase price, okay?"
If the fight continues, he won't make any money from this batch of goods, and his precarious reputation will be ruined. He will really have no way out in the future.
After a while, He Chenghua said, "Sell the store in the wholesale city to me."
Na Qiang's eyes widened immediately, "Store? No, I only have this one store. If I sell it to you, what can I do business with?"
"You can go to the south, to Pengcheng." He Chenghua analyzed for him, "With your current reputation in the wholesale city, will anyone still ask you to wholesale clothes? Even if you buy the store without spending money, how much can you earn from the subsequent inventory problems and cost problems. Instead of struggling here, it's better to sell everything to me directly and then find another way out."
Na Qiang opened his mouth and wanted to refute but couldn't find words.
He wanted to ask He Chenghua for help with bad intentions, but he didn't think about selling the store.
He Chenghua snorted, "Think about it, I'm not in a hurry. But..."
He looked in the direction of Qin Xiang's store, but couldn't see anything. He moved his eyes to Na Qiang's face and said, "But I don't know if you can hold on until then. By the evening, I might regret it."
After that, He Chenghua began to pack up his things. He made men's clothing, and the styles were all quite fashionable, with floral shirts, jeans, trousers, and trousers.
Na Qiang stood there for a long time, but finally left.
He didn't want to give up, he wanted to ask Qin Xiang to give him a way out.
However, Qin Xiang refused directly, "Na Qiang, if you had discussed this earlier, why would we have come to this point? To put it bluntly, it's all your fault. Sorry, I won't accept the settlement unless you sell me the goods and the store."
Na Qiang's eyes widened. Sure enough.
Qin Xiang was not only trying to kill him out of vicious competition with him, but also because he had his eyes on his store.
Think about He Chenghua, then think about Qin Xiang, they all had their eyes on his store.
Na Qiang glared and gritted his teeth, "Don't even think about it."
Na Qiang turned around and left. Knowing that today would not be a good day, he thought about it and went directly to He Chenghua, "Brother Hua, I am willing to sell the store to you."
He Chenghua smiled slightly, "Okay."
The two agreed on the price in a short while, and Na Qiang simply let him go to take over. He Chenghua took Na Qiang to change the ownership of the store and then paid the money.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, the owner of Na Qiang's store in Wholesale City was changed, and the owner of the exhibition location was also changed.
After getting the money, Na Qiang's heart was still bleeding.
He didn't expect that his self-righteous behavior not only did not annoy Qin Xiang, but made him lose money and the store.
He wanted to see if He Chenghua would continue to compete with Qin Xiang after getting the store.
He wanted to see if Qin Xiang would continue the price war today.
If not, he would write a letter of denunciation to the Hong Kong businessman, telling him that Qin Xiang and He Chenghua were in love.
Thinking of this, Na Qiang's depressed mood finally improved a little, and he did not leave, but stared outside the exhibition.
Na Qiang's booth was taken over by someone else. Qin Xiang didn't notice it at first. After more than an hour, Zhao Ping suddenly came to Qin Xiang and said, "Na Qiang just told me that he sold his booth and clothes to He Chenghua. I don't know what he means."
Qin Xiang heard it and thought about what he saw with He Chenghua in the morning. He guessed, "Na Qiang probably can't hold on any longer and sold his booth and clothes. Let's see what the current price is. If He Chenghua doesn't lower the price, we'll sell them at the same price. If the price remains the same, that's fine. There's no need to fight him."
"Okay, I got it." When Zhao Ping left, he deliberately walked to the original Qiang booth, then he was stunned, and then turned back and said, "Pack up the things in that booth and change all the clothes. Remove the same clothes as ours."
Qin Xiang was surprised. Did He Chenghua not want to confront her?
That was none of her business. Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's sell it this way. Anyway, we won't lose money. Remember that we only clear the warehouse and don't place orders for the clothes from the second clothing factory. Put half of the space for clothes from the other two factories and accept orders."
After Zhao Ping left, Qin Xiang asked Mi Hongjun to watch over, "You go outside and watch. I'm worried that Brother Zhao can't keep an eye on it. It will be fine tomorrow when there are fewer people."
So Mi Hongjun also joined the camp at the door.
Seriously speaking, the location at the entrance is better than the one inside. Originally, booths were not allowed to be set up at this location, but Qin Xiang directly paid twice the price of the inside and rented both sides. Then the person in charge of the exhibition had nothing to say, and it could attract customers more directly.
It's not that there were no other people who wanted to set up booths outside, but there was a main road outside, and it was impossible to give the pedestrian area to merchants to set up booths, so they all refused.
Zhao Ping and Mi Hongjun each led two people to be in charge of one side, and Qin Xiang led a few people inside. The three booths were fully operational and signed orders until their hands were tired.
Fortunately, Qin Xiang had prepared in advance and asked someone to print thousands of contract templates in advance. When signing the contract, you only need to fill in the order number and other information.
As for the delivery time, Qin Xiang naturally did not dare to say that it was full. All orders were numbered and shipped in order.
This saved a lot of time. When other booths were busy writing orders, they might have already started with the next one.
At six o'clock in the evening, today's exhibition finally ended.
Qin Xiang took the excited employees to pack up and take away the things, and then returned to the store to count the agreements signed today, and the deposits paid were also registered one by one by the accountant and He Liping.
After contacting the two factories, Qin Xiang directly told He Shengnan and Wu Gang, "Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the workers, no one will be paid an extra month's salary for the past two months."
Because Xiang Yanghong is a state-owned unit, even if the efficiency has increased, the salary is still the same. The reason why she worked so hard for Qin Xiang was because Qin Xiang was generous.
During the holidays, Qin Xiang not only remembered the employees in her store, but also the workers who worked for the two factories. On holidays like Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, basically everyone was paid an extra month's salary. In addition, the Chinese New Year gifts such as rice, flour, grain and oil were also very generous. Occasionally, when the shipment was busy, they would give extra bonuses.
The workers who were selected to work as OEMs were carefully selected, and no one would be unhappy.
After He Shengnan hung up the phone, she went to the workshop to announce the good news to the workers, "Comrade Qin Xiang is a good boss. Most of the workers in our factory are supported by her orders. Now she needs our help. I hope everyone will not fail at the critical moment and ensure the quality of the products."
Miao Xiaofeng is now in charge of purchasing fabrics and inspecting shipments for OEM. At the beginning of the year, Qin Xiang transferred two more people to help, so there are no problems in these two aspects. However, in the production process, reducing the defect rate is also extremely important.
Hearing that they could get more wages in the next two months, the workers suddenly became excited and were eager to perform well. In addition to these extra bonuses, their factory was also selecting model workers.
He Liping's parents were envious when they heard the cheers inside.
They were also members of this workshop before, but after they had a fight over the two children last time, He Shengnan, who was so stubborn, transferred them out of this workshop and sent them back to the original workshop.
The original workshop resumed production and paid the same wages, but the extra bonuses and benefits were gone.
They had made a fuss and cried.
Unfortunately, it was useless. He Shengnan just wouldn't give in.
The two sighed, and the other workers persuaded them, "Okay, who told you not to cherish your good life?"
Now many people want to go in, but unfortunately the staff is full.
On the third day, He Shengnan finally couldn't hold on any longer. After discussing with Qin Xiang, they decided to temporarily transfer a team from other workshops to help with production.
Qin Xiang agreed to this matter. As long as the product quality can be guaranteed, anything is fine.
He Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, otherwise so many people will definitely not be able to deliver. This way the pressure will be less, but..." As
soon as she opened her mouth, Qin Xiang understood that this was about asking about bonuses.
Qin Xiang was not a stingy person. Compared with the payment after the delivery of the goods, the bonus for adding twenty more people was not worth mentioning.
After talking with He Shengnan, Qin Xiang had to talk with Wu Gang again. Wu Gang's factory had also received a lot of orders, and Qin Xiang was really worried that they could not keep up with the production.
As a result, Wu Gang had already had a way to deal with it, "Don't worry, I have squeezed a lot of goods here before, and this time I asked the workers to introduce each other to invite a hundred workers. The wages are high, and they are paid by piecework. Everyone wants to work here 24 hours a day."
Qin Xiang was relieved to hear him say this, but still said, "Quality must be guaranteed."
"Don't worry, Xiao Jiao is in charge of this matter recently, and he can't wait to check each piece. We have also adopted the method you said here. The groups check each other, and all the problems are revealed."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the traffic volume is the largest on Saturdays and Sundays, and it decreases a lot after the weekend.
Most of the self-employed people hurried to place orders on the first or second day while there is stock, otherwise the delivery time will be slower.
Qin Xiang has made sufficient preparations and has stockpiled a lot of goods, but it cannot meet the needs of all customers, so some can only wait for production.
After only three days, the two large warehouses in the capital were almost emptied. In addition to the clothes that ensure normal supply in several branches, the remaining inventory was also pulled over for temporary supply.
Qin Xiang had to go to class in the next few days and had no time to watch. Tan Xiu and Mi Hongjun stayed there all day. When Qin Xiang went there on Friday afternoon, there were very few people, and most of them were Yi retail customers.
Tan Xiu and Mi Hongjun have been taking turns watching here for the past two days, and even their makeup can no longer hide their fatigue.
Qin Xiang patted Tan Xiu's shoulder and said, "After the inventory is finished, you can have a good rest for a few days."
Tan Xiu shook her head and said, "I'm still busy following up on orders."
And Qin Xiang also plans to continue opening branches, so Tan Xiu will have to do the recruitment and training of personnel.
Qin Xiang was helpless. There were still not enough people to use, so she could only use Tan Xiu and Mi Hongjun as donkeys.
She thought about it and decided to give them a promotion and a raise.
Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it after we are busy for a while.
Friday is the last day, and some out-of-town manufacturers have simply started to clear their stocks.
Not only did she clear the small vendors, she even cleared the local vendors who were also manufacturers.
Qin Xiang went around and talked to them. Many people didn’t want to take the goods back and occupy their inventory. They offered very low prices. Some of the styles were pretty good. Qin Xiang simply bought them back. After a round, she actually bought tens of thousands of pieces.
When she came back to get the money, she took Zhao Ping to take the goods back, which shocked Tan Xiu, “What are you doing?”
Qin Xiang whispered, "Reselling."
They didn't need to do anything else, just let Mi Hongjun contact the self-employed people in the towns and wholesale them for an extra fifty cents per piece, which would make another fortune.
In the late 1980s, the cities might have become a bit prosperous, and there were more wealthy people, but in the remote countryside, the living conditions of the farmers were still not very good. Although people began to pursue beauty in dressing, many people still pursued practicality.
The clothes Qin Xiang collected were not bad, at least the quality was guaranteed, but some were samples from the past few days and had been tried on by people, and some were unsold, and they had to rent a car to take them back. Anyway,
as long as the quality was good, Qin Xiang collected almost all of them.
Because of her action, many merchants looked at Qin Xiang differently. Of course, some people thought that Qin Xiang had a problem with her brain. How could she sell such a mess of clothes?
Qin Xiang was not worried. Spring and summer clothes did not take up much space and were cheap. They only cost a few yuan each. Wouldn't it be nice to wash and wear them at home? She
temporarily put the clothes in the empty warehouse. She was too lazy to choose and directly told Mi Hongjun her plan.
Mi Hongjun's heart immediately became hot, "I'll contact them."
