"I just saw someone wearing it on the street." Tian Chengcheng made up an excuse.
Lao Wang said happily, "This is fresh and looks good. I'll make a sample and put it on display later."
"Grandpa Wang, shouldn't you give me a discount?" Tian Chengcheng asked with a smile.
It was she who came up with the clothes style, so it's only right that she should be given some benefits.
She also wanted to see what kind of person Boss Wang was. If possible, she wanted to work with him in the clothing business.
After all, she only had ideas but couldn't produce a finished product.
"Little girl, you are quite smart. Since it was you who came up with this idea, your request is reasonable. How about this? I will make this dress for you and I will waive the labor fee. How about it?" Old Wang said with a smile.
He is a man in his forties and he won't take advantage of the child.
"Thank you, Grandpa Wang. I will tell you when I see a good style in the future." Tian Chengcheng said happily.
"Okay, it's a deal." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Making clothes is his hobby. When he has nothing to do, he always thinks about how to make clothes look good.
But now that I’m getting older, I always feel that my vision is not as good as it used to be and my energy can’t keep up.
It's a good thing to have someone to help and give you an overview.
Tian Hengyuan and Fu Xinhan were shocked again.
Three dollars in labor costs are saved just like that?!
"Master Wang, why don't you just forget it? You'll also need to use a sewing machine and other things, which will take a lot of effort."
Tian Hengyuan couldn't bear it. Although he was poor, he didn't want to take advantage of others.
A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.
"You don't understand. I'm losing money by giving up three yuan for the labor fee, but I'm actually making a profit. This style of clothing sells well, so I can make a few more sets and get it back, right?" Lao Wang said with a smile. "It's a deal. I'll do it for you as soon as I finish the little work I have on hand. It will be done in three days at most."
"Okay, then we'll come back to pick it up in three days. Uncle, you pay Grandpa Wang for the fabric first. Grandpa Wang, you have to calculate it carefully, including the cost of buttons and lace." Tian Chengcheng said with a smile.
She wanted to know the market price of making a piece of clothing, and then measure whether the batch of cloth from the weaving factory was worth buying.
Of course, she also wanted Tian Hengyuan to have a clear idea in his mind.
Only by comparing can we make a decision.
Soon, Master Wang figured it out.
"Seven feet of fabric is eight dollars forty, plus the lace, buttons, and hemming, a total of eleven dollars."
Although it was a little more expensive than expected, Tian Hengyuan paid for it readily.
After resolving the matter, the three of them went to find Luo Hongyan and went to the weaving factory together.
Luo Hongyan greeted the security guard and took the three people into the factory. The factory was very large, with four or five factory buildings. The roadside was all cement and clean.
This was Tian Hengyuan and Fu Xinhan's first time at the factory.
The two were full of envy. This was a stable job. Not only did they have a fixed income every month, but they could also get a house allocated by the factory and the working environment was so good.
The more they looked, the more envious they became.
Tian Chengcheng was much calmer. This factory building from the 1980s was very ordinary in her eyes. She also knew that the so-called iron rice bowl was just a product of an era. With the advent of reform and opening up, this era would soon come to an end.
But she also had to coax Luo Hongyan so that she could bargain later.
The little face lifted up, and a smile blossomed on Tian Chengcheng's little face.
"Aunt Luo, your factory is so big and beautiful. This is the first time we've seen it. Do we have to walk far? It feels like your factory is much bigger than our village."
"The factory is a bit big. It's a little further ahead. But this factory is not Auntie's. She just works here."
Luo Hongyan enjoyed Tian Chengcheng's words and smiled brightly.
"Working here is really enviable. People in our village say that people with stable jobs are very happy. They have meat every day, live in apartments, and dress neatly every day! Aunt Luo, can I come to work in the factory when I grow up?"
Luo Hongyan's smile grew even brighter, and she couldn't stop smiling at Tian Chengcheng's coaxing. "Of course you can. As long as you study hard and get into university in the future, you can work in a factory and even sit in an office."
"Really?" Tian Chengcheng's eyes lit up.
Luo Hongyan couldn't help but poke her little face, "Of course it's true, Aunt Luo wouldn't lie to you, Fubao, you must study hard when you have the chance!"
"Yes, I will definitely study hard." Tian Chengcheng nodded.
Luo Hongyan liked the boy more and more because of his serious look.
This child is really more likable the more you look at him.
"We're here. Let's go in and take a look. I've already told the boss, and if you want it, I'll definitely sell it to you at the cheapest price."
Luo Hongyan said as she led the three of them to the warehouse and greeted the warehouse manager, "Caiying, are you busy?"
Li Caiying is in her thirties, plump and with a kind face. She had been notified that someone was coming to look at the fabric in stock, but when she saw Luo Hongyan coming in with a half-grown child and two small children, she looked puzzled.
"Sister Luo, what is this—?"
"This is the person who looks at the fabrics I mentioned. This is Hengyuan, this is Fubao, and this is Xinhan. Take us to have a look. I have an account to settle this afternoon." Luo Hongyan said with a smile.
Li Caiying looked at Tian Hengyuan and the other two seriously. Judging from the way they were dressed, they didn't look like people who could afford to buy fabric.
"Sister Luo, when did you learn to be humorous?"
Luo Hongyan pulled Li Caiying aside and said a few words to her. Li Caiying's expression gradually changed. In the end, she didn't ask any more questions and took them to see the fake news.
All the defective fabrics were piled up in a warehouse at the back. They were arranged neatly, but the types of fabrics were mixed up and the rolls were of different sizes.
"We have all kinds of fabrics, and ultimately there's nothing wrong with them. It's just printing or thread drawing issues. Apart from aesthetic issues, it doesn't affect the use."
As Li Caiying spoke, she casually pulled out a roll of floral printed cotton cloth and pulled it apart for a few meters. She found that there were printing and dyeing problems in the same places, and the pattern in the same position was obviously much lighter than other places.
It's still very obvious.
"Aunt Li, this is still very obvious." Tian Chengcheng said.
Anyway, as a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, she would not use such fabrics, fearing that looking at those patterns every day would drive herself crazy.
"That's why it's cheap. These fabrics are sold by kilogram, 50 cents per kilogram." Li Caiying said.
"How many meters are in one pound?" Tian Chengcheng asked.
"There are different types of cloth. Some cloths have high density, so there is less of it. This kind of cotton cloth is light, and one pound weighs four or five meters. Anyway, it's still very cost-effective. This price is less than half of the cost." Li Caiying said.
Tian Chengcheng was not satisfied and always felt that there was something fishy about Li Caiying's words.
They are defective products anyway, and are the result of inventory piled up in warehouses gathering dust.
"Aunt Luo, aren't you an accountant? If I buy more, can you give me a cheaper price?" Tian Chengcheng looked at Luo Hongyan.
His eyes were full of flattery and trust.
