Through space monitoring, it was clearly seen that Li Dahong was wearing a purple floral skirt and carrying a small black bag on her shoulder, and she had slowly walked to the entrance of the park.
She looked around, as if admiring the scenery, or observing if there were any suspicious people around.
She walked along the cobblestone path until she reached the lake in the park. She seemed tired, so she pounded her legs and sat on a bench in the park.
Sitting on the edge of the bench was a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a black floral dress, had almond-shaped eyes, and short permed hair.
Chu Jingqiu looked at the woman carefully. He had never seen her before.
Li Dahong exchanged glances with the woman with the permed hair. She asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Where's Director Wang? Why isn't she here?"
The permed-haired woman frowned. "She had something urgent to do today, so she asked me to come over. Why, wouldn't it be the same if I came?"
Li Dahong paused for a moment. "Nothing. Director Wang used to come in person. I was just asking casually!"
The permed-haired woman whispered, "How's it going? Did you get the blueprints?"
Li Dahong nodded gently, "I got it. A total of ten sets of design drawings, more than last time, and the styles are more beautiful. I heard that these were drawn by our boss Zhang when he was inspecting Guangdong Province. These clothes are in line with the fashion trends of Hong Kong City."
The perm girl immediately smiled widely. "Great! Give it to me quickly. I'll take it back and make the pattern overnight. I have to make the clothes before them."
Li Dahong didn't react at all. She glanced at the woman with the perm and said calmly, "The quality this time is much better than last time, and I always feel that the current situation in the factory is not good.
It seems like I'm loose on the outside but tight on the inside. I stole the blueprints at the risk of going to jail, so I definitely can't give you the same price as before. You have to raise the price."
"How can you raise the price? Didn't we agree on this before?" The woman with curly hair widened her eyes and her voice rose eight octaves.
Li Dahong immediately looked around vigilantly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Can you please keep your voice down? If others find out, we'll both be finished.
I tell you, the price wasn't high before, but things are different now. If you think it's expensive, you can go find someone else." Li Dahong said nonchalantly.
The woman with the permed hair said unhappily, "Before, you were timid and afraid of being discovered, so the drawings you stole were all clothing designs that had already been produced. We paid you 20 yuan for each set, so for 20 sets, we gave you 400 yuan in total.
Last time, you brought drawings that weren't in production. We'll give them to you at fifty dollars a set, so ten sets will be five hundred dollars in total. That's a lot, almost as much as your annual salary. What else do you want?"
Li Dahong snorted coldly, "The past is the past, the present is the present. Don't think I don't know that this time you get the unproduced blueprints, and you can earn double what you did before.
You've seen the value of this blueprint, haven't you? If you don't raise the price, I'll sell it to Jiamei Garment Factory. Think about it!"
The woman with permed hair gritted her teeth and thought to herself that these drawings were indeed very popular. If she missed them, she might not be able to find better ones.
"Okay, how much do you want to increase it by?" the woman with permed hair compromised.
"Not much, just double it." Li Dahong stretched out a finger.
"What? Double! That's too much!" The woman with the permed hair stood up. "Our costs are also very high. We won't make much money at this rate."
"I don't care. I'm going to get what I deserve." Li Dahong refused to give in.
The permed-haired woman gritted her teeth and said, "At most, I can double your salary. I can't make the decision on anything more. I have to discuss it with Director Wang."
Li Dahong stood up immediately upon seeing this and said casually, "It's okay, I have patience. You can go back and discuss it with Director Wang. I'll wait for a day at most. If it's after tomorrow, don't come to me."
After saying that, he pretended to turn around and leave.
The permed-haired woman grabbed Li Dahong's skirt and said, "Dahong, don't leave. Let's discuss this."
Li Dahong was grabbed by the skirt by the permed-haired woman. She stopped and showed a smug smile on her face.
But his tone remained firm: "I've made it very clear. The price must be tripled this time. I know your factory's profits. Don't try to take advantage of me."
Seeing Li Dahong's resolute attitude and knowing the extraordinary value of the blueprint, the woman with the perm realized that if she missed this opportunity, she might never find a better one. So, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"Okay, okay, I promise you," the curly-haired woman said anxiously. "I'll do as you said and double the price. But you have to make sure these blueprints are unique and that no one else knows about them."
Li Dahong nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "Don't worry, this isn't our first transaction. I, Li Dahong, always know my limits. After I give you the blueprint, I promise I won't give it to anyone else."
The permed-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief, having finally come to an agreement. She knew the price she was paying was not small, but thinking of the profits she was about to make, she felt it was worth it.
"Where's the film? Give it to me!" the woman with permed hair said impatiently.
Li Dahong nodded, took out a box from her bag and handed it to the woman with the perm.
The perm-haired woman took the box, opened it and took a look. After confirming that there was film inside, she carefully put it into her bag.
Then he took out a stack of money from his bag and handed it to Li Dahong.
Li Dahong took the money and counted it with a smile on her face. After confirming that it was correct, she looked up at the woman with permed hair.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes. "Well, not more, not less, exactly fifteen hundred. You clearly have enough money, yet you're deliberately trying to lower the price. You really don't have any sincerity at all."
The permed-haired woman was a little embarrassed by Li Dahong's words. She laughed dryly and explained, "Li Dahong, you also know the situation of our factory.
We're just starting to get going, so we really need to be careful with our costs. I'm not being insincere, but I hope you can understand our situation."
Then, the permed-haired woman changed her tone, trying to bring the two closer: "But don't worry, if we make money, we will definitely not treat you unfairly.
Next time when you have new drawings, I hope you will give priority to cooperating with us."
Li Dahong nodded after hearing this, and his expression softened slightly. "Okay, I understand your situation. But I also want to remind you that the value of these drawings is far more than this price.
If you can’t offer a reasonable price, I might consider other buyers.”
The permed-haired woman nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand. I'll report this to Director Wang when I get back."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her watch and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back quickly. The pattern makers are waiting in the factory. I have to finish producing these clothes before the clothes start to flutter."
