The business of Lao Zhang's side is getting more and more prosperous. For the basic points produced in the factory, Lao Zhang has found three other foundries, and it is still a little busy.
Today, I specially invited Shu Yan to come here because I want to expand the production capacity of the factory.
"When I went to Shanghai to do business, it was really ambitious. Like Lao He, he rented a small factory. I directly rented two. The business was good at that time. , the result has been empty, and now I plan to clean all these places and put them on the machine. It is not a long-term solution to find someone else to do it. President Shu, look at this room, you can put down 30 machines, and the other room can be put down. Forty machines, plus another seventy machines, we don't need to find a foundry." Lao Zhang took Shu Yan around the empty factory, which had been cleaned. Obviously, his idea was not a day or two.
Shu Yan was speechless, she herself was not very ambitious, she just wanted to make some money to buy a few more houses, but one or two of the partners she met were very ambitious.
"Last month's orders were phenomenal, because we are the only one, so business is so good. Now there are a lot of autumn clothes and long pants in the market, and the orders will definitely decrease in the future." Shu Yan said. It's just too much investment.
Ye Shuqin also said the same thing, "I think Shu Yan is right, let's build a factory first, buy 30 machines, and then open another one when business is still good next year."
"One machine costs 600 yuan, and 70 machines cost 42,000 yuan. I don't think this is a big investment." Lao Zhang was a little unwilling.
Shu Yan thought it would cost hundreds of thousands, so the investment is really not big. Just as she was about to say that she should buy it, Ye Shuqin snorted coldly, dismantling Lao Zhang.
"The sewing machine is not expensive, but you still need to buy a large ironing table, a cutting machine, an electric knife, an overlocking machine... You can't afford 200,000 if you add them all up?"
Shu Yan didn't understand production, and when she heard a series of dizzying machines, she raised her head to look at Lao Zhang with his head lowered.
"I think it's better to play steadily." Shu Yan suggested, "Or you can look for second-hand ones, like the ones that are 80-90% new. They should be much cheaper than brand new ones, right?"
"The reason why I agree to Lao Zhang's expansion this time is that someone wants to close the factory, so we plan to eat all the machines in his factory. We went to see those machines, at least 80% new, and give us 40% off the original price." Ye Shuqin smiled happily.
"That's good, I don't have a lot of production issues, just make your own decisions." Shu Yan smiled lightly.
"That's it, I came to you today, and there is something else I want to talk about. This factory is just about to expand. What we mean is, do you want to take a shareholding?"
Shu Yan was stunned, thinking that they wanted to break up with her, but unexpectedly they asked her to participate in the shares.
"No, didn't I tell you last time? I'm cooperating with a friend to set up a brand, and then I'll set up my own factory. This is all the hard work of you and your wife, and I didn't help much. , during this time, you and your sister-in-law have been busy all the time, so I'm just waiting for the money, and I'm already embarrassed." Shu Yan thought about it and said, "Well, let's work together until the end of this year, and the business will be completed next year. to yourself."
From the cooperation to now, nearly 300,000 sets have been shipped here, and the cost has already been recovered, and now it is pure profit.
Apart from the rent, water, electricity and labor, there are still some odds and ends. A set of clothes can earn more than 4 yuan. So far, it has almost made more than 1.2 million. Other family's Qiuyi Qiuku, their family's business is relatively much less, there should be 700,000 or 800,000, and by the time of the New Year, Shu Yan may be allocated about 1 million, which is already a very large amount. Anyway, Shu Yan was quite satisfied.
"That won't work. We agreed to cooperate at the beginning, and we all signed an agreement. If the business is successful, we will break up with you." Lao Zhang shook his head.
"I really can't be of any help. At that time, I said that I would cooperate with you. As a result, apart from the material cost in the early stage, I didn't pay any money in the follow-up, let alone any contribution. It's you and your sister-in-law who are busy, you can let me By the end of the year, it is already very benevolent." Shu Yan said sincerely.
Lao Zhang disagreed with what he said, and finally Ye Shuqin came forward.
"Well, let's not say that there is no distinction. Next year, we will directly give you the shares in the factory."
"this… "
"Yes." Before Shu Yan could finish speaking, Lao Zhang clapped his hands and said, "We will give you the shares directly, so don't refuse."
Shu Yan refused, but after discussing for a long time, he finally decided to take 20% of the shares.
When she was about to leave, Shu Yan thought about it and said, "There are only one thin model and one plus velvet model in the factory. I think we can start with the material, study other materials, and divide it into three grades according to the material. , In addition, there is the issue of style. It does not necessarily have to be adult men and women. The market for children is also very large. In addition, the market for the elderly can also be considered. Anyway, they all make autumn clothes and long pants. Now, it might be a good way to sell it."
They reciprocate their gratitude, and of course Shu Yan did her best to help them.
After finishing the affairs here, Shu Yan went to the company, and there were a lot of things over there. She said before that she had no time to pass, but she couldn't go all the time.
"I was about to call you to say, you are here, the advertising contract of the celebrity couple has been negotiated." Hu Ruixue got up and came to the sofa and sat beside Shu Yan. The secretary came in with a cup of tea and gently put it down. , gently close the door when leaving.
"They agreed?" Shu Yan thought it would take a little time to negotiate.
"Agreed, the two have a total of 180,000, but they have to quote 500,000." Hu Ruixue looked at Shu Yan's face, "Why is it getting darker?"
"The external quotation is 500,000?" Shu Yan touched her face, "The doctor said it is normal, it is scabbing now, and it will be fine if you turn around and fall off."
Shu Yan was afraid of scarring, so she didn't wear the mask, she was afraid that the scab would be rubbed off by rubbing it, and a white mark would be left at that time, which would not be worth the loss.
"Yes. It's actually good for us to raise the price. It's not a small news that an unfamiliar brand offers 500,000 to a celebrity couple." Why not do it.
Shu Yan nodded knowingly, just like those stars decades later, the external quotations are always much inflated.
"When will the commercial be filmed?"
"It is already under preparation. It is estimated that it will take a week for the actual finished product to be put on the market. Why does it take a month?" Hu Ruixue was very dissatisfied with the progress, "The other is the problem on the storefront, Chen Fei said that there are more It can be renovated in half a month, I have hired two salesmen here, and I want to put it in your shop for training first, is that okay?"
When it was time to renovate the direct store, Shu Yan recommended Chen Fei as a designer.
"Of course there is no problem. I can't ask for someone to come over to be a white worker. Has the store manager found it?"
"There are already a few candidates, and they haven't been decided yet. They will come the day after tomorrow. You will come to see when that time comes?" Hu Ruixue looked at Shu Yan with a bookish look.
"Let's talk later."
The company is making preliminary preparations, and it is busy even if it is busy, and it is not busy even if it is not busy. At least Shu Yan felt that there was nothing wrong, so she simply went back to her shop.
Since the last time she talked to Zhang Huaxiu, she has consciously changed a lot. For example, she tries to handle some small things herself, and she also asks Shu Yan to do some things. The balance between them is very good.
Yesterday, a customer came to return the goods, and Zhang Huaxiu handled it very well. Shu Yan felt that Zhang Huaxiu might still be lacking, but it was perfectly fine to be the manager of her small shop.
"How are you, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Zhang Huaxiu shook her head and asked, "Madam, is that shop opposite yours too?"
"It's not mine, I'm partnering with friends, why?" Shu Yan looked at her curiously.
Zhang Huaxiu hesitated for a while before saying, "That's right, my parents' performance in the factory is not good, and they may be laid off. My eldest brother is the only one at home to make money, and the pressure is relatively high. My mother wondered if she could let me My sister-in-law runs a clothing store across Fuqian Street."
"Very good. Fuqian Street is right next to the university town. The quality and styles of the clothing stores are relatively ordinary. I think a mid-to-high-end store can be opened there. The clothes are more beautiful and fashionable, and the business should be quite good. "Shu Yan felt that opening a store there was better than being a full-time housewife at home.
"I thought so too, but my sister-in-law was worried that opening the store would make a loss, so she was still hesitating. She originally wanted to come to learn from you, but she said that she would open the same store for you, so I'm embarrassed to tell you." Zhang Huaxiu said half-jokingly .
"What does that matter? One is on Fuqian Street and the other is on Chengnan West Road. The distance between them is so far. Your sister-in-law would be fine if she opened her own shop. Now you know a lot of things, and you can be great at her. ."
"I don't want to leave, I think it's good to stay here." Xiuxiu explained quickly.
Shu Yan was stunned, "I didn't tell you to leave, I just said that if your sister-in-law opens a shop, you can help her during the break, and you have been trained with great difficulty, but you can't leave, or I will really cry. Yes." Shu Yan followed suit half-jokingly.
Zhang Huaxiu has really learned a lot from her, such as planning events and matching clothes. If the two are done well, as long as the clothes are good-looking and affordable, they should not worry about selling them.
"I'll try to tell her this when I'm resting." Zhang Huaxiu's little heart was almost exposed just now, for fear that Shu Yan would see something.
The reason for such a guilty conscience is because her mother told him about opening a store yesterday, saying that she has experience and that it is better to be her own boss than working for others. She refused directly at that time.
Shu Yan has a kindness to her, and she has always taken good care of her. She can't leave as soon as she learns it, and if she doesn't say anything else, even her conscience can't live with it.
The brothers haven't made a clear settlement, not to mention the sister-in-law who is separated by a floor, Zhang Huaxiu thinks it is better not to cooperate, and it is more polite to help during the rest.
Besides, her salary is really not low now, and opening a store in Fuqian Street may not necessarily be as high as her salary.
"You can arrange it yourself. Besides, I have something to talk to you about."
