Chapter 388: Seeking the distance instead of the near?
Yongning County.
Outside the Sancai Garment Factory, a black Accord car slowly left.
In the car, Wanbo glanced at the door of Sancai Garment Factory, with a look of reluctance on his face.
He had been visiting Liu Na for two consecutive days in the name of cooperation, but he never expected that Liu Na was not in the garment factory these two days. It was only a factory leader named Shen Xuan who received him.
"I really don't believe it. How can a country woman escape from my grasp?"
Driving back to the hotel, it was obvious that Wanbo had not given up.
He has asked Shen Xuan to tell Liu Na that Shengya Clothing has a preliminary intention to cooperate with Sancai Garment Factory, but this matter naturally requires Liu Na, the factory director, to come forward to talk to him personally.
Based on Wanbo's observation of the Sancai Garment Factory, he knew how eager Liu Na was for this cooperation.
As long as he casually throws some of the orders for processing by his company to Liu Na, he still doesn't believe that this woman can lie on his bed obediently.
Shortly after Wanbo left, an Audi 100 drove into the clothing factory.
Liu Jianjun and Liu Xiaojiang have both woken up, and they are fine for the time being. Liu Na is worried about leaving the garment factory, so she naturally has to come back and take a look.
As for the hospital, it would be no problem if Lucy Liu and Dafen Chung were with them in bed.
However, it seems that the Chinese New Year is only a week away. It is too early for the father and son to be discharged from the hospital. It seems that they can only spend the New Year in the hospital.
In Sancai Garment Factory.
Chu Tianyao accompanied Liu Na.
As the actual person in charge of Sancai Garment Factory, Chu Tianyao's arrival also caused quite a stir in the factory.
Chu Tianyao is a legendary figure in the Yongning business community. His deeds in the past two years have become a household name in Yongning.
In the office.
Shen Xuan personally made a cup of hot tea for Chu Tianyao.
"Mr. Chu, you didn't tell me in advance that you were coming, so I can prepare for the meeting in advance and tell you about the situation of the garment factory this year."
Shen Xuan smiled and said to Chu Tianyao.
It was Chu Tianyao who persuaded her to stay in the Sancai Garment Factory and entrusted her with important responsibilities. Shen Xuan always regarded this as a gift of friendship and kindness.
"Don't go to such trouble. I told you that I won't interfere with the garment factory's affairs and leave them all to your own management."
Chu Tianyao smiled slightly.
But having said that, Shen Xuan had already handed a prepared report to Chu Tianyao's hands.
"That's what I said, but our garment factory has done a great job this year, and it's all thanks to our factory director Liu!"
Shen Xuan glanced at Liu Na next to Chu Tianyao and immediately laughed out loud.
Sancai Garment Factory was naturally not worth Chu Tianyao's concern, but as Liu Na's best friend, she felt it necessary to praise Liu Na's progress in the past year in front of Chu Tianyao.
When he caught a glimpse of Shen Xuan's eyes, Chu Tianyao still didn't understand the meaning of her words.
He immediately flipped through the report and found that the performance of the garment factory over the past year was much better than he had imagined.
Although most of Sancai Garment Factory's business was obtained through Chu Tianyao's connections, whether it can retain these partners still depends on the garment factory itself.
Chu Tianyao's original requirement for Sancai Garment Factory was just not to lose money, but he never expected that Sancai Garment Factory still made a lot of profits.
Liu Na and others also made good use of the surplus funds. They immediately updated the aging equipment in the factory, expanded the factory area, and increased production capacity.
Although the improvement is limited, it is undeniable that Sancai Garment Factory has become prosperous in just one year.
Since Liu Na took over the garment factory, the wages of workers in the factory have not been reduced, but have actually increased slightly.
"Well done, better than I thought!"
In front of Liu Na, Chu Tianyao did not hesitate to praise him.
When Liu Na heard this comment, her face turned red.
"Don't make fun of me. After all, we are still a small factory in the county. Let alone the big garment factories in the provincial capital, there are several state-owned garment factories in Lucheng City that are even better than us."
Liu Na said modestly.
After she really came into contact with the clothing industry, she realized that the Sancai Garment Factory, which she thought was quite large in the past, was actually at the bottom of the entire clothing production industry.
However, Liu Na's wish is naturally to make Sancai Garment Factory bigger and stronger, and even develop her own clothing brand.
In the office, Chu Tianyao naturally knew what Liu Na was thinking, and then said again:
"My evaluation is not an exaggeration. You only see the scale of those large garment factories, but you don't know their operation mode. To put it bluntly, nearly 70% of the state-owned garment factories in the country are almost at a loss.
"
"Loss?"
Liu Na also looked surprised when she heard Chu Tianyao's words.
Shen Xuan on the side also looked at Chu Tianyao with some confusion.
It is clear that the smaller Sancai garment factories are making profits, so why are the larger state-owned garment factories still losing money, with losses reaching as much as 70%?
"I'm not talking nonsense. Garment factories are labor-intensive enterprises. Now with the opening up of policies in several major special economic zones, many manufacturing bosses are willing to spend a lot of money to invest in building factories in the special zones."
Chu Tianyao glanced at the two of them, and then said: "They have brands and technology, and there is no shortage of cheap labor. This has greatly squeezed the business of garment factories in other areas of the mainland. Many garment companies would rather go to the special economic zones to find jobs."
Large garment factories do OEM processing and are unwilling to cooperate with state-owned garment factories."
“Seek the distance instead of the near?”
On the side, Shen Xuan became a little confused.
No matter how good the garment factories in the special zone are, they are thousands of miles away after all. Is it possible that the garment companies in Sichuan province have to go all the way to the special zone to seek cooperation and then bring their products back to the Sichuan province market to sell?
Wouldn't this increase the production cost greatly?
After hearing Shen Xuan's words, Chu Tianyao smiled and shook his head. He did not explain aloud, but instead looked at Liu Na, who was looking thoughtful in front of him.
"No, this is not about looking far away and going to the special zone to find clothing factories to cooperate in production. On the contrary, it can reduce costs and expand the market!"
Liu Na raised her head suddenly, with a hint of understanding in her eyes.
"What's the point?"
As soon as Liu Na finished speaking, Shen Xuan looked even more confused.
When Chu Tianyao heard this, he looked at his wife with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
It seems that Liu Na has indeed improved a lot over the past year.
At least, even Shen Xuan couldn't figure it out, and Liu Na could guess the reason.
"Sister Shen Xuan, when I was in night school, I listened to several courses on clothing sales. Teacher Wen told us a set of data. In the clothing market in Sichuan Province, the average consumer does not buy new clothes more than once a year.
Three times, and this data lags far behind coastal areas."
Liu Na looked up at Shen Xuan and explained aloud.
