Ye Shuning also thought of the possible situation her husband mentioned. After thinking for a moment, she said, "We can set a rule with them: they can't sell at a price higher than what we set. We can also leave them a certain profit margin. After we sign an agreement, if they still don't follow the rules, we'll stop supplying them and stick to the agreement."
After the two of them discussed it, Ye Shuning picked up the phone and called Qin Zongye and Ling Xuan and told them about the situation in Guyu City.
Ye Shuning asked them to look for cheap clothes that were out of stock in Nangang. They also wanted clothes that were left over and unsold by some manufacturers. They wanted the most common styles that were popular among the public. Defective products were also acceptable, as long as the clothes were sturdy and cheap.
She asked a few people to bring her samples so she could take a look before deciding whether to buy them or not.
Nangang boasts tens of thousands of garment factories, many of which have a backlog of unsold or defective products. Qin Zongye's Huiya Garment Factory has a significant inventory of these unsold garments. These garments, unsold, are simply piled up in the warehouse. Those that could be discounted have already been sold, leaving these unsold garments.
It was a good thing that Ye Shuning could help them clear out their inventory. If these clothes were left there, they would get moldy or be destroyed by rats at any time. Selling them cheaply would earn them some profit.
Qin Zongye said, "Xiao Ning, my factory has some backlog of clothes, as well as some defective products that are damaged, but they are not unsuitable. These clothes are just sitting in the warehouse and will probably be scrapped in the end. If they want them, I can sell them to them at a low price, which can also help me clear out the inventory.
I'm looking for other garment factories for you. They should have clothes like ours, and they should be able to sell them for a little money. Because these clothes can't be sold in Nangang at all."
Ling Xuan quickly sent Ye Shuning a message, revealing that he had also found some surplus or defective clothing from the factory. However, the quantity was small, and the majority of the items were defective. Since many clothes were sold at a discount after the season ended, there wouldn't be much left.
Ye Shuning first asked Qin Zongye to transport the backlog and defective products in their factory to Shenzhou.
After the New Year, the distant cousin Zhao Qing had introduced to Ye Shuning as a nanny also arrived. Li Shaozhong saw that she had a clear and honest look and a kind face, and she looked very honest and sincere.
It's just that this Mrs. Li has a sad look on her face, and it's obvious that she's not living a happy life. But Zhao Qing also mentioned that Mrs. Li's situation is indeed not easy.
Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning both disliked people who were nosy and cunning. They had a good first impression of Mrs. Li, and decided to keep her as a trial employee for a few days.
Li Shaozhong instructed, "Sister Li, we'll call you Sister Li from now on. Our family is simple, so we don't have to be so particular. You just need to complete your work; you don't have to work non-stop all day long."
I have two children at home. One is a teenager and in school, so I don't have to worry about her too much. The younger one is a little over a year old, so I have to worry about her a little more. Also, my wife is pregnant, so she needs to be taken care of and pay attention to her diet.
Mrs. Liu has worked in our family for several years and she understands everything. If you don't understand something, just ask her. As long as you work sincerely in our family, we won't treat you unfairly.
It was the first time Mrs. Li had seen such a large house and such a luxurious place. She felt very reserved standing in the hall. However, she felt that the host and hostess were very kind and did not act superior, which made her feel much more at ease.
When she came, her distant cousin said that the people in this family were very nice, and as long as she worked for them sincerely and took good care of the family, they would not treat her unfairly. This was much better than her having to endure the bullying of her daughter-in-law at home.
Mrs. Li replied somewhat reservedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best."
After a few days, Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning felt that Mrs. Li was very clean and efficient, keeping the house spotless. She was also a good cook, very attentive, and not a talkative person. Li Shaozhong and his wife were very satisfied with her and decided to keep her, which would relieve Mrs. Liu of a lot of pressure.
Both nannies were widows whose husbands had passed away. One had no children, and the other had a son but it was almost the same as having no son. However, the two of them sympathized with each other and got along very well.
Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Li privately, "Sister Li, you've come to the Li family. Both the host and hostess are very easy to get along with. They won't treat us as servants. As long as we work hard and sincerely, we will have good food, clothing, and shelter, and the salary is not low. We can spend almost nothing in a month.
When we are old and can no longer work, we can still save a lot of money. If you have money, are you afraid that your son and daughter-in-law will ignore you? As long as you hold the money in your hand and hang it in front of you, your daughter-in-law will pretend to be good to you.
After coming to the Li family, the environment has improved. After being enlightened by Sister Liu, Sister Li also came to her senses. "Sister Liu, you are right. Nothing is more important than having money. When the time comes, I will use the money to take care of them. My daughter-in-law cares about money the most. She must treat me well and get money from me."
Mrs. Liu patted Mrs. Li's hand. "That's the right way to think. If we stay here long enough, maybe Mr. Li and his team will be able to arrange our retirement. There's a nursing home with very good facilities in Nangang, and maybe there will be one in the mainland in the future."
Maybe then you won’t need your son and daughter-in-law to support you in your old age. Then we two old sisters can support you together.”
The two of them looked forward to the future and felt that life had more meaning.
Mrs. Li also liked the two children of the Li family very much. How come other people's children were so well educated, sensible and polite, while her own son was so weak and afraid of his wife?
After finally finding him a wife, he watched his mother being bullied by his wife without doing anything. He truly forgot his mother after marrying her. She was so disappointed that she asked someone to find her a job and left that home. From then on, she would earn money for herself. With money, she would have the confidence to do so.
With a nanny at home, Ye Shuning and the child can be taken better care of.
Ye Shuning received the clothing samples sent by Qin Zongye from Nangang and looked at them personally. The clothes were all good, without any fancy things, and the fabrics were also okay. The most important thing was that they were cheap, only a few dollars each.
In fact, what is considered outdated in Nangang is not outdated in mainland China, especially in less developed areas. In many parts of the mainland, people still focus on warmth and protection, not on style or beauty.
Therefore, as long as the clothes are durable, cheap, and simple, they are the most popular. Defective clothes are mostly made of substandard materials or have some loose threads, etc., and are rarely damaged. After all, if the fabric is damaged, it will not be used to make clothes.
