The next morning, the three of them rushed over early.
At this time, the three of them understood what a crowd of people meant.
Jiang Guohao and Song Anping protected Jianshu on the left and right. The three of them looked at each stall one by one. When most of the stalls were closed, they went out to find a place to eat.
Jianshu wrote down information one by one in his notebook, circled a few places, then closed the pen cap and said, "Let's go check this place out again this afternoon."
Song Anping was full of questions. Seeing that she had finished her work, he asked, "Are those stalls from this morning not open? I saw everyone else going crazy trying to grab the clothes. Some even started fighting over a bag of clothes."
Jiang Guohao couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "A piece of clothing only costs seven or eight yuan, yet many people buy dozens or even hundreds of pieces without blinking an eye. Money is thrown out like paper. I'm afraid those stalls make more in a day than others make in a year."
Jianshu wasn't actually very calm in her heart. Even though she knew that things were selling well in this era, she had never seen such a crazy rush for goods before. However, she concealed it well on her face.
She couldn't panic. If she panicked, others would panic with her.
He explained carefully, "The goods at the stalls aren't bad, but they're too expensive. It's not cost-effective to go there wholesale. If we were to just take a few dozen pieces and leave, then of course it would be more cost-effective to go to the stalls. But a store as big as Jingshi is, a few dozen pieces wouldn't be enough. We can order directly from the factory, the price will be much cheaper, and we'll have more choices."
If she only has a few hundred yuan in capital, she can only go to the stalls for wholesale. If she goes to the factory, people won't even look at her.
But she had sufficient capital. In addition to her family's savings over the years, when the price of gold was at its highest last year, she exchanged some of the gold bars in the space, which was enough to support greater expenses.
She is also ambitious. Beijing is such a big market, and throwing out dozens of clothes will not make much splash. If she is going to do it, she will do it on a big scale.
Going to the stalls for wholesale will simply allow the middlemen to make a profit from the price difference. Of course, it is more cost-effective to find the source factory.
When they heard this, they immediately nodded and said, "It's more cost-effective to find a factory." If you can earn more, why push the money to others?
In the afternoon, Jianshu and his friend took them to the factory area they had inquired about. They rode around on rented bicycles for half a day, thoroughly investigating all the nearby clothing and electronics factories.
The next morning, the three of them changed their clothes.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. People always respect clothes before people. Jianshu does not intend to play the game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, or slapping people in the face.
As expected, when we arrived at the factory, the security guards who had been indifferent at first immediately became much more enthusiastic.
After Song Anping stepped forward and explained his purpose, he was soon invited in.
"How much do you plan to order?" Director Li poured tea for the three of them and observed them with an inconspicuous glance.
Jian Shu gently flipped the lid of the cup, took a sip of tea, and spoke calmly, "That depends on the factory manager's stock. As long as it's a style you like, the minimum order is 100 pieces. I have several stores, ranging from dozens to hundreds of square meters. You can take your time to calculate how many styles of clothes you need."
Director Li quickly did some calculations in his mind, his eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly became excited.
If they can get such a big order, their factory won’t have to worry about anything this month!
His smile instantly grew even more enthusiastic. "Then I'll have someone bring all the samples up for you to see. You can take your pick. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll treat you tonight, and I'll invite you to try our local specialties later."
"That's troublesome." Jian Shu nodded, and Director Li immediately went out to make arrangements.
Jianshu was not surprised by his enthusiasm.
She had chosen this factory on purpose. It was small, and couldn't compete with the more powerful ones, so it mostly took small orders. Suddenly, a big customer showed up, so she had to treat them warmly, right?
What's more, Jianshu revealed that he had several stores. To Director Li, that meant he was a long-term customer! One big customer could support their entire factory!
After everyone left, Jiang Guohao, who had been standing behind Jian Shu with a serious expression as a bodyguard, couldn't help but speak, "Aren't we just one store?"
"There's only one store right now, but there will be a second and third store soon, right? I've prepared everything and am just waiting to open it next year."
"This..." Jiang Guohao choked. Isn't this a lie?
Jian Shu blinked and soothed him, "Brother Jiang, this isn't cheating. It's just a temporary loan. Besides, Director Li didn't expect us to buy all the goods for him. As long as we meet his expectations, we won't lose anything."
"...You know better. I'll do as you say."
Not long after, Director Li came back with a few people carrying large and small bags of things.
He took out a shirt and handed it to Jianshu. "Take a look. I can't say anything else, but the clothes produced by our factory are definitely of high quality. The styles are also the most popular in Hong Kong. They will definitely look good on you!"
Jianshu took it and checked it. Indeed, the quality was very good and the style was also okay. After all, Guangzhou was at the forefront of opening up to the outside world. Compared with those old state-owned factories in Beijing that were still operating step by step, it had made great breakthroughs.
She picked and chose among the pile of clothes, putting the ones she liked on the left and the ones she didn't like on the right. After looking through all the clothes, she spoke.
"Director Li, how many of these clothes can you produce? How much are they?"
Director Li looked at the pile of clothes on his left, his smile growing wider. He immediately came to his senses when he heard Jian Shu's voice. "We have 500 pairs of bell-bottom pants in stock, fewer shirts, just over 400, 400 skirts, and 400 dresses..."
