Zhang Hongmei smiled; she desperately needed affirmation from professionals.
"Comrade, we'd like to ask your garment factory for help with processing. Is that feasible?"
Are you alone?
"Of course we won't make things difficult for you; it's our school."
"If it's a school, that's fine; we don't target outsiders."
"What procedures are required?"
"The school's application must bear the school's official seal."
What about the processing fees?
"The processing fee starts at 1.6 yuan per thousand pieces, which includes the cost of these accessories and buttons."
"What if you provide the fabric?"
What are the requirements for the fabric?
"One thousand pieces of woolen cloth, one thousand pieces of polyester twill."
"The men's version of this garment is four and a half feet of fabric, while the women's version is three and a half feet. The wool fabric costs one yuan and fifty cents, and the processing fee is one yuan and fifty cents for every two thousand pieces. So the men's version costs eight yuan and twenty-five cents, and the women's version costs seven yuan and twenty cents."
The men's polyester shirts are 3.3 yuan, and the women's are 3.02 yuan.
"Comrade, does your garment factory have enough fabric for two thousand garments?"
"It's enough. Our third workshop will be able to complete the unit's task in three days. The fabric warehouse can produce 5,000 pieces in two colors."
"Comrade, my name is Zhang Hongmei. May I ask your surname?"
"Hehe, my name is Guo Shidong."
"Alright. Comrade Guo, I will come to see you again the day after tomorrow at the latest. I won't bother you today."
"Don't worry, Zhang. Even if you guys don't do it, I won't do it on my own."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongmei realized that this person was quite sensible. Indeed, dealing with someone like this was much easier.
The three said goodbye and walked back. Zhang Hongmei felt her stomach growling with hunger.
"My two classmates, please come to my home for dinner. Thank you so much, Liang, for your help today. Without your guidance, I think I would have taken a lot of detours."
"Class monitor, are you really that confident that the school can provide so much money to support us?"
"Yes, don't worry. Even if the school really doesn't have the money, the entire student council and all the students will pool their resources. That should be at least double the profit, and no one will be able to resist."
"But you designed this yourself. If you sell the clothes yourself, the money is yours."
"Hehe, my initial goal was to raise money for the student council, so I don't care about personal gains or losses. Liang, could you come with me again next time?"
"No problem, it's my honor to serve everyone."
Liu Jingze remained silent, but felt a lump in his throat. This young girl had done something extraordinary. This was the first time in the history of Capital University that someone had taken the lead in such a thing. He was truly proud, so proud of this girl.
"Brother Jingze, it's so late. Let's go to Xinyuan. Someone will cook there. I'm a little tired after a long day."
"Okay, let's go to Xinyuan, it's close to the school. It'll save us time getting back."
Back in Xinyuan, Aunt Li immediately made pancakes and rice porridge at Zhang Hongmei's request.
The three sat in the study. Liang Yongmin was truly astonished; he hadn't expected this little girl to be so wealthy.
Liu Jingze was a little worried. "Hongmei, what are you going to do if the school doesn't provide funding and you have to find your own way?"
"It's a fundraising scheme, and then dividends will be distributed according to the amount invested."
"Wouldn't that be considered a personal act?"
"No, the school takes half of the profits, and the other half is like interest distributed to everyone. Don't worry, I won't cause myself any trouble."
Zhang Hongmei knew that these two thousand pieces of clothing were no small amount; they cost more than ten thousand yuan. The school wouldn't take the risk, and the possibility of them paying for them was unlikely.
"Brother Jingze, how much money do you have?"
"There are still two thousand left."
"Yes, I have three thousand. Liang, this has huge profits to be made. If you have more money, invest more."
"Investment?"
"Yes, it's shares. The school provides the name, 50% upfront, and the remaining 50% is the interest for the investors."
I'm prepared to offer twenty dollars for wool and fifteen dollars for polyester for the building.
"The profit margin is too high."
"Yes, so you can invest, I guarantee you won't lose money."
"Thank you, class monitor. I'll try my best to raise the money."
By this time, the rice was cooked. There were no side dishes, just pickled vegetables, and a few scrambled eggs.
"I'm sorry, Liang, we didn't have any food at home. We apologize for not being able to entertain you properly."
"This is wonderful, class monitor. I haven't had a pancake in a year." This family background is truly remarkable.
“Jingze, go back and find Shan Mianzhi tonight. I won’t attend the first class tomorrow. Have him come with me to find the principal.”
"Okay. I'll tell him when I get back, and I'll also tell him what happened today."
After dinner, the two boys went back to school, and Zhang Hongmei stayed at Xinyuan.
Tomorrow is Friday, I absolutely have to get this done.
After a quick wash, Zhang Hongmei closed the door and went into the room.
I spent three hours finishing the plan before going to sleep.
When I woke up, I still had homework to do, so it took another two hours to do it.
Meanwhile, Shan Mianzhi at school couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
This is such a surprise, such a delightful surprise! This is a rough gem, this is a treasure.
"Hehe!" Shan Mianzhi actually laughed out loud. He was determined to make this happen tomorrow. He wanted to see just how far this young girl could go. He was really looking forward to it.
Liu Jingze couldn't sleep either. Zhang Hongmei, who was negotiating with Guo Shidong, was too charming. What to do? His heart ached, not with bitterness but with excitement. His little girl, she truly captivated him.
Zhang Shouyi, upon hearing his subordinate's report, smiled. What to do? He desperately wanted to hide her away, so no one would know how wonderful she was. But he had lived for decades and was still quite idealistic; he needed to become powerful, powerful enough that no one could take her away.
The next day, as soon as I entered the school, I saw Shan Mianzhi and Liu Jingze.
"Chairman, I'll go ask my advisor for leave first, and then I'll come to the student council office to find you in a bit."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Zhang Hongmei approached Chen Shuang and said, "Counselor, I need to ask for leave from the first class."
"Okay, but you need a leave slip."
"Okay, I'll write it right away."
Ten minutes later, Zhang Hongmei arrived at the student union president's office, handed over the plan she had made the night before, and sat down to wait.
Shan Mianzhi carefully read through the three-page plan, inwardly praising it. It was rigorous, comprehensive, and the data was presented exceptionally clearly. The most impressive part was the fundraising section; the allocation method was expressed with remarkable clarity using data.
Shan Mianzhi put down the plan and said, "Hongmei, this plan is brilliant. I was just thinking that this time we should raise funds from the student council members."
"I have no objection to that. Chairman, you can make the arrangements. Let's go see the principal; the second period is very important, and I can't miss it."
