The new year is approaching, and jeans orders are arriving in the main factory office just like the heavy snow outside.
The workers work in three shifts, the canteen is busy from morning to night, and the waiting rooms in the office are kept lit almost all night long.
Xue Ling goes to Qzhou in the south every day to push for denim fabrics, asking the factory owners to make workers work overtime during the New Year, otherwise the supply of fabrics will exceed demand and some orders will not be shipped in time.
The manufacturer originally thought that Xue Ling was just an ordinary customer and denim was not popular in China, so it did not reserve much.
Who would have expected that jeans would become popular, and the demand for denim would instantly increase, making manufacturers both happy and in disbelief.
"In the past, people would buy them to make bags, and some people would make them into children's schoolbags, but you order them to make clothes - I saw it on TV! Many young people like it very much!"
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "Where's our contract? You have to supply me on time, otherwise I won't have enough here."
The manufacturer was very embarrassed and explained: "To be honest, there is only one Spring Festival in a year, and the workers are eagerly waiting to reunite with their relatives for the New Year. I don't have enough workers here..."
"If you work overtime during the New Year and holidays, you will be paid overtime pay." Xue Ling said: "Don't save it, give me a big red envelope, let the workers work overtime for a few days, and try to give me two more cars before the New Year."
The factory director smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Xue... I'm afraid it won't work. The quantity is too much. Even if I go down to help, I won't be able to produce that much goods! It's almost the Chinese New Year!"
"I'll arrange shipping and I'll pay the toll." Xue Ling said, "It's really difficult for the workers to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. I understand that. Well, if the volume of goods in the first month can be increased by one-third, I will provide extra supplies for the workers.
A piece of cloth costs ten dollars."
"Really?!" The factory director immediately smiled: "Only the first month? One-third more?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied firmly: "The more, the better. Hurry up and work overtime."
The factory director was moved and said: "Then I will discuss it with them. Boss Xue, you also know it. The more they do, the more satisfied I will be. Now you are pressing harder. If you can get a little more sweetness, the workers
Only when we work overtime will we be willing to do so.”
"I can understand." Xue Ling said with a smile: "As soon as the goods arrive, I will transfer the money immediately. For the goods in the first month, I will add ten yuan for each piece."
"Okay!" the factory director said happily: "You are really cheerful! When I first saw you, I knew you were a Confucian businessman!"
Xue Ling said a few words and hung up the phone.
At this time, the secretary hurriedly walked in and said, "Ms. Xue, two people came outside. They said they were merchants from Ronghua Mall. They said they had something important to discuss with you."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Invite them in."
Business matters for merchants usually come from the property center. Liao Zongnan was smooth and honest in his dealings, and everything went smoothly. How could someone suddenly come over to the property center?
After a while, two chubby middle-aged men and women walked in.
"Boss Xue! Boss Xue! Hello, hello!"
Xue Ling recognized them and quickly stood up to greet them, shaking hands with them one by one, "Are you Sister Jia? This is...?"
Sister Jia laughed and said: "He is my lover, his name is Liu Shu."
Xue Ling politely asked them to sit down.
The secretary was very discerning and quickly brought two glasses of hot water.
Xue Ling smiled and asked: "Sister Jia, is there something going on at the store? You're welcome, just tell me if you have anything, Director Liao and I will handle it properly."
"No..." Sister Jia laughed and said: "The store I rented from you has always been very good, and the rent was paid on time. Nothing happened. It's just that you brought a batch of jeans to me a while ago.
I went there to sell them, but they were snatched up by customers. My wife thinks they are very good, and hopes to come to the factory to buy some goods so that they can be sold during the Chinese New Year."
Liu Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled flatteringly: "In the past, the shops were not open during the New Year, and everyone was busy buying things to go home for the New Year. Now people in the city center don't have a good place to go during the New Year, so they all like to go shopping nearby. There is a lot of traffic during the New Year.
It’s also a good time to make money.”
Xue Ling understood and asked: "Are you coming to my factory to get goods?"
"Yes!" Sister Jia said with a smile, "I didn't know that your boss Xue also ran a clothing factory at first - I heard from the employees that you borrowed the goods and sold them."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not at the moment. We have too many orders. It is estimated that we will have to wait until March."
Sister Jia became anxious when she heard this and said: "We don't need too many, just a few hundred pieces to sell in front of the store."
"It's really not possible." Xue Ling said: "There are too many orders here, and we really can't get them out at the moment. If Sister Jia, you are interested, our order minimum is at least 2,000 pieces. Then you can order a batch and it will be ready in a day or two.
Can pick up the goods.”
Willow couldn't help but ask: "A factory as big as yours should be able to accommodate you, right? Can you rush us a batch in advance?"
"Not possible at the moment." Xue Ling explained: "There are currently insufficient raw materials. We must first complete the orders from last year, otherwise we will not be able to explain to customers."
"Come to order in March - it's probably not popular anymore." Sister Jia pouted angrily: "I told you to come earlier, but you don't want to! Now you see it? What you want, others will naturally want too! They will be one step ahead of you.
, making money is several steps ahead of you!”
Willow whispered: "I...I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Sister Jia said harshly: "Now that science and technology have advanced, TV and radio stations are constantly shouting about it. What happened in the imperial capital today may be known to the whole world tomorrow. Do you still think that there was a time when cars and horses were slow?!"
Willow didn't dare to speak again.
Xue Ling smiled softly and said warmly: "Sister Jia, if it is winter and spring jeans, you will definitely be behind. But you can order summer jeans in advance now."
Sister Jia was unhappy when she heard this and whispered: "Boss Xue, these things are a bit thick... No one wears such thick pants in summer, right?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "We have thinner denim, which has the same feel but is lighter. I plan to make some shorts to sell, five-quarter shorts, three-quarter shorts and short skirts."
Sister Jia smiled in surprise, "Really?! Doesn't it look good? Will anyone like it?"
"Yes." Xue Ling said: "The first | shot is fired, the second | shot is not difficult. Capri pants and skirts can also be worn in spring and autumn, because they are thicker."
Sister Jia quickly became excited and poked her husband: "If that's the case, let's order a batch in advance."
"Okay." Liu Shu was also moved and asked, "How much will we order?"
Sister Jia thought for a while and replied: "Two thousand pieces each."
Xue Ling reminded: "It will be produced in March, and you can pick it up in a few days. I suggest you sell it in advance. As soon as you say it, everyone will naturally flock to Ronghua Mall."
"You said we are the first order of the summer?" Sister Jia asked seriously: "Is there anyone else coming to compete with us?"
"It's the first order." Xue Ling explained: "Our designers are still designing styles. No one is competing with you now, but that may not be the case in the future."
Sister Jia quickly made up her mind, "Then let's get two thousand pieces of each item."
So, the first deal of the summer was signed.
The secretary couldn't help being surprised: "Shorts? Half of them? Will they look good?"
"Yes!" Xue Ling said: "You go find the designer, I will tell her, and then let her design the details carefully. By the way, denim shirts and denim skirts will also be launched next. You can find more fashionable designs.
Master, come here."
The secretary couldn't help teasing: "Ms. Xue, you want a denim series!"
"Yes!" Xue Ling laughed and said, "I'm going to get a denim suit in the future!"
