Even her uncle was surprised. If an educated youth who went to the countryside had such skills, wouldn’t the garment factories be scrambling to hire her?
Thinking about the clothes that were finished and sent by the clothing factory, the manager was very upset. The price was very expensive and the style was really not good-looking.
Anyway, the textile factory has a quota for the fabrics it provides to the department store, so he might as well give it to Gu Qingning and let her make it.
Otherwise, when the secretary comes to inspect at the end of the year, his performance will still be at the bottom. He plans to let his niece explore the way and test Gu Qingning's bottom price.
This is work for the public, so I don't think she would dare to ask for too much. After all, this is a great thing.
Gu Qingning knew at a glance that Yang Xiaohua had informed the higher-ups and was now planning to negotiate.
She plans to take out her sewing machine sometime, but don't expect her to keep sewing by hand, not at this price.
"Comrade Yang, you know that making clothes is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I also have to design the styles. If the market is tight, I might not be able to keep up. What if I ask someone for help?"
Gu Qingning didn't intend to take on all the responsibility and make money by herself, so the middleman had to make the profit from the difference.
Otherwise, she would be exhausted. She chose to go for high-end couture. Yang Xiaohua understood what she meant. "As long as the style is yours and the quality of the clothes is good, I have no objection. I will also contact you if there is anything. What do you think of the price?"
This is what Yang Xiaohua cares about most. The workmanship and materials of the suit she wears for her wedding are of high quality, and the price is indeed not low.
But others cannot take the high-end route. People in provincial capitals are rich, but they are generally workers.
The fabrics from the textile factory are also very ordinary, and can only be made in style.
Gu Qingning calculated the labor costs before speaking, "Comrade Yang, I won't hide it from you. You'll pay for the fabric, but the labor and design costs will be thirteen for a thin top, eighteen for a dress, and twenty for a suit. As for the fabric, I'd like to choose it myself. What do you think?"
The total cost of a shirt is about six yuan, and it can be sold for a minimum of twenty-five yuan. Gu Qingning takes a portion, and Yang Xiaohua can also take some.
Small profits but quick turnover, Gu Qingning can’t eat a fat man in one bite.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaohua hesitated. This was beyond the quoted price and she couldn't make the decision.
"Comrade Gu, please wait a moment. I'll pass on the message."
Without waiting for her to leave, Manager Du came in directly. He heard everything the two of them had just said.
I was a little surprised that this was said by someone under 20 years old, with clear goals and confidence.
Manager Du is in his thirties, has a square face, looks very upright, and sits opposite Gu Qingning.
"It seems that Comrade Gu is very aware of his own advantages. But what makes you think that I must have you? For your price, you can find any tailor outside."
Gu Qingning said slowly, with a sly smile, "I think Manager Du is impressed by my talent. You can certainly find someone else, but it's impossible to replace a better style. Times change, and we have to change with them. What you bought is my design, and I also gave Manager Du some space. My labor fee and the cost price of the clothes, and the subsequent pricing power, don't they all belong to Manager Du? My sincerity is obvious."
Manager Du looked very brave despite his young age, but after all, he couldn't take any risks when it came to collective property.
Manager Du thought about it again and again, "How about this, come with me later to pick out the fabric you need. If you can deliver it next time and guarantee to meet the sales target, I will sign the agreement. If not, it means you are not suitable, and you will have to compensate for the fabric."
Gu Qingning agreed directly. All investments involve risks, but she can afford it.
Only by showing your strengths can you be respected.
Now, this is the opportunity given by Manager Du, and she will not let it go.
"Okay, thank you Manager Du. I wish us a pleasant cooperation. However, I would like to trouble Manager Du to issue me a work certificate, otherwise I will have to go back with the fabric and sing "Tears Behind Bars". " Gu Qingning stood up, shook hands with Manager Du politely, and said half-jokingly.
You need a proof of employment from the department store in order to do your job better.
Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if you are reported.
Manager Du obviously understood, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Gu Qingning was very satisfied. Then she thought of something and discussed it, "The goods will probably be delivered a few days late. I'm getting married in mid-May, and my in-laws' family is a bit far from here, so I might not be able to be busy!"
Manager Du was a little surprised. "Okay, but your partner isn't from the city?"
This girl doesn't look like someone who can endure hardship. It's such a pity that she has to marry into the countryside.
Gu Qingning nodded, "No."
Gu Qingning obviously didn't intend to say much, and Manager Du didn't ask much either. Instead, he was very interested in Gu Qingning's clothing making.
He gave Yang Xiaohua a look and Yang Xiaohua went out.
"Come this way!" Manager Du took Gu Qingning to get the fabric. It was early May now, and Gu Qingning chose some light-colored floral fabrics and some dark-colored ones, intending to use contrasting colors.
Picking and choosing actually reduced a lot of burden on the counter. They were all fabrics that had been squeezed before, in gray, black and blue.
Manager Du looked at the fabrics selected and reminded, "Is this it?"
Don’t girls like light colors, especially floral fabrics? Will anyone really wear these?
Out of politeness, Manager Du did not raise any obvious questions.
"That's all. Thank you, Manager. I'll be leaving now. Sorry for keeping you up."
Gu Qingning quickly tied up the cloth into a large bundle.
Manager Du couldn't bear to watch the man trying to carry it, and asked, "Shall I find two men to help you?"
Of course Gu Qingning would not refuse, "Thank you, Manager."
She can carry it, but why should she carry it herself?
