The Pentium Era - South to North

"You are so loud. You dare to tell Section Chief Wang that everything is covered." Zhang Chen said to A Yong as soon as he came downstairs.

"It doesn't matter if he goes whoring. If you don't want it, we won't come the day after tomorrow." A Yong said, "These few sample clothes and trousers are worth the money of the car. I'll get my money back."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "That's true."

The two of them left the factory and on their way to the bus station, they saw a restaurant on the roadside. They walked in, ordered three dishes, and ordered two bottles of cold Qianjiang beer to drink.

"You really don't want this batch of goods?" Ayong asked Zhang Chen after a glass of wine.

"What about you?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I kind of want it. This kind of opportunity doesn't come along very often."

"I kind of want it too." Zhang Chen said, "At this price, I can make money no matter how much I sell it."

"Yeah, no matter what, you can always get approval for doubling the money."

"The price is not the issue. It's our market. There are no wholesale customers for such a large volume."

"What about retail sales? Thirty-one pairs of jeans, are they loose? If you sell one pair, you can earn back the cost of three pairs." A Yong said.

Zhang Chen thought about it, and A Yong was right. If it was thirty-one pairs of jeans, it would be no problem to sell ten or twenty pairs in one day. After two months of selling, almost all the books would be back, and the rest would be Yes, if you sell it, all the profits will be made. Isn’t it possible to get through this autumn?

Not only in autumn, jeans are different from others and can be sold all year round.

Although it is summer now, if there is stock, it can be sold now. Some people will still buy jeans in summer.

"Zhang Chen, we either eat it or forget it. We have two stalls. What are we afraid of with these thousands of things? We can just sell them day by day." A Yong said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "If it's five hundred items, I'll take them without even thinking about it. Over two thousand items, more than one thousand pieces, it's definitely a lot."

"If there are more than five hundred pieces, they won't be at this price." Ayong picked up the wine glass.

"That's true." Zhang Chen touched him.

"Zhang Chen, I think our two families can cooperate." A Yong said.

"How to cooperate?"

"According to me, I want clothes and you want trousers, or you want clothes and I want trousers. In this way, our two families can cooperate without conflict in that place. Those who buy trousers from you can do it." Come to me to buy clothes. If you buy clothes from me, you can also buy pants from you. How great."

Zhang Chen also thinks that A Yong's proposal is good. In this way, the two of them don't even have to divide the points. One sells all pants and the other sells all clothes. In that area, a certain atmosphere can be formed. Zhang Chen was a little excited at the moment. More than a thousand pairs of pants are a bit much, but if they are actually sold, they won't be much.

They bought so much goods in Guangzhou, but in the end they didn't have enough to sell, so they had to go to the old market to restock?

"Another problem is that here, there are both men's and women's clothing, which is more troublesome." Zhang Chen said.

"What's the trouble? Our market didn't say it was a women's clothing market. There are several men's clothing stores in the market. Besides, don't we have a lot of retail customers there? This woman came and saw that the goods were good and the prices were also good. It's affordable and has men's clothing, so she can buy one for her boyfriend or husband," Ayong said.

Zhang Chen laughed. Indeed, he had never thought of this.

"How about it, have you thought about it?" Ayong repeated the same old tune, "This opportunity has been lost, but it will never come again."

Zhang Chen thought about it and felt that it was a pity to lose this opportunity. Where can I find jeans that cost ten yuan a pair? After passing this village, there really was no such shop anymore. Zhang Chen made up his mind. He raised his cup and said to A Yong: "Okay, fuck it!"

"Fuck you!" Ayong also shouted.

The two of them then agreed that A Yong would buy clothes and Zhang Chen would buy pants. Zhang Chen had even thought about it. The stall was divided into upper and lower rows. When jeans of different styles and colors came out, it was also a sight to see, and the vertical style There are sweaters and knitted sweaters on the hangers and models outside, so that while selling pants, you can also take out tops.

The two of them were in high spirits and enjoyed the meal. One of them drank three bottles of cold beer before going to the station to catch the train.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, it was already past four o'clock. Zhang Chen said he was going to the stall and told Xiao Zhao. A Yong simply sat on the back of Zhang Chen's bicycle and followed him. He said, you guys have decided. I will get up tomorrow to raise money and eat all the clothes there. I have calculated that it will cost 20,000 yuan. I don’t have that much money myself.

Zhang Chen said yes, we will settle this matter today.

The two of them returned to the market. Xiao Zhao had already arrived. He asked them how they were doing. Zhang Chen showed Xiao Zhao the jeans and denim clothes. Xiao Zhao thought they were good after seeing them. She said, I have bought jeans like this before. I remember it was like More than a hundred.

There was a customer in the stall. She looked at the jeans and asked, how much do these pants cost?

Before Zhang Chen said anything, Ayong said, forty.

"Really?" the customer asked.

A Yong said of course it was true.

"What's your waist size?"

Ayong took the measuring tape hanging there from the grid at the table and handed it to the customer. The customer measured it and found that it happened to be his waist circumference.

"I want it." The customer said and went to take out his wallet.

"Little sister, little sister, these are sample pants. If you want them, come back in a few days. There are many styles."

A Yong quickly took the pants back from her hand, and the customer rolled his eyes at him.

After the customers left, Xiao Zhao asked them: "Can you really sell these pants at 40?"

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded. Xiao Zhao asked, how much was the purchase price?

"Guess." A Yong said.

"Thirty-five?"

Zhang Chen and A Yong both shook their heads.

"Thirty-six?"

The two of them still shook their heads.

"Thirty-seven? If you come in at thirty-seven, you will sell it at forty? Then you have to sell it at least forty-five."

"It's high." Zhang Chen smiled.

"Pants like this are not expensive for only forty-five dollars. Why are they so high?"

"I mean your purchase price was too high."

"Ah." Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, "How much is that? Thirty?"

Zhang Chen and A Yong smiled but shook their heads.

Xiao Zhao's eyes were full of suspicion: "Twenty-eight?"

Seeing them still shaking their heads, Xiao Zhao said: "Twenty-five?"

"It's still high." Zhang Chen said.

"Impossible, how much is that? It can't be twenty, right?"

"Twenty can make two entries." A Yong said.

Xiao Zhao was surprised. She looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen nodded. Xiao Zhao picked up the two pairs of pants and looked at them in disbelief, and asked them: "You mean, these two pairs of pants were purchased for only 20 yuan?" piece?"

Zhang Chen is right.

"Oh, then you two idiots, why did you only take two? Why didn't you get more?" Xiao Zhao scolded.

"I'm afraid it's too much and they want us to eat it all," Zhang Chen said.

"How many?"

"More than two thousand six hundred."

"How many?"

"More than two thousand six hundred." Zhang Chen repeated.

Xiao Zhao opened his eyes wide, and then immediately laughed: "Haha, honey, then we will get rich!"

Zhang Chen asked curiously: "Don't you think it's too much?"

"It's so cheap, how can it be too much? Of course the more the better, pig!" Xiao Zhao shouted.

Zhang Chen looked at A Yong. A Yong breathed a long sigh of relief, and Zhang Chen smiled.

"Okay, you two continue to have fun here, I'm going home." Ayong took the denim jacket and left.

…

The next day, Zhang Chen and A Yong took the money and went to Shengxian County again. This time, Zhang Chen rode his bicycle to Sijiqing first and parked the car in the parking lot of the market. The earliest bus leaves at six o'clock. When he was twenty, he took a taxi to South Railway Station.

Tonight, they were driving the truck from the garment factory back and would not go to South Station again, so he had to park his bicycle here.

Zhang Chen also greeted Brother Haigen a day in advance, saying that they would have cargo arriving tonight. Haigen had also ordered the security guards on duty tonight to let them in and help Zhang Chen and the others unload the cargo. .

The two people arrived at Section Chief Wang's office. Section Chief Wang looked at his watch and told them, our car won't come back until noon, and we won't start loading until after lunch. Do you want to go down now and take inventory first?

Ayong thought to himself that the workload of opening the cartons one by one, counting them, and sealing them back one by one is too much. Just the two of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it until nightfall. Come on, since I can’t do it, A Yong happily pretended to be generous and said to Section Chief Wang:

"No need. A factory as big as yours can do things right. Aren't there numbers on the outside of the boxes? When loading the truck in the afternoon, just tally the numbers one box at a time."

"Okay, cool, then I will give you a guarantee. If you take it back, if you find that the number of any box is wrong, I will admit it. You tell me how much, and I will refund the money to you." Section Chief Wang said.

People have already talked about it to this extent, and Zhang Chen can't say anything else. Besides, he already saw the goods yesterday. This goods is not a valuable thing. It costs ten yuan a piece, which is one more and one less. That's also the manpower to pack it. Wrong, no big deal.

"Then you go shopping on the street first, come back at noon, have a working meal in our canteen, and then start loading." Section Chief Wang said to the two of them.

Zhang Chen and Section Chief Wang said, "Chief Wang, I have never been to a garment factory in my life. Can I go to your workshop?"

"If you want to see what's interesting in this garment factory, if anyone asks, just say you are my customer." Section Chief Wang told them.

Zhang Chen quickly said thank you.

The two of them went downstairs and walked towards the Great Hall next to the basketball court. Ayong had never seen what a clothing factory was like, but what he was more interested in was not the clothing factory, but this clothing factory. It is said that there are sewing women. Yes, he came to see these female workers.

The two people walked to the door of the auditorium and were almost knocked over by the noise inside. Inside the auditorium, there were eight rows of more than 100 sewing machines roaring together. The more than 100 people were busy without raising their heads. Zhang Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he suddenly became excited.

This industrial sewing machine uses an electric motor, which is completely different from the Butterfly brand that Zhang Chen remembers, or the West Lake household sewing machine. The speed of this industrial sewing machine is amazingly fast. No wonder the sewing workers have no time to look up at them.

Zhang Chen immediately discovered that there was another reason why they had no time to think about it, and that was that the clothing here was not made from beginning to end by one person, but on an assembly line. One person only did one process, and the one who installed the zipper only installed the zipper. For those who install trouser loops, just install the trouser loops, for those who close the trouser seams, just close the trouser seams, and for those who roll up the hems, just roll up the hems.

As long as a process is stopped, the patrolling team leader will immediately rush over to urge her, because if she stops, it will affect the operation of the entire assembly line behind.

Zhang Chen saw that a worker got up to go to the bathroom, and the team leader immediately sat in her place and worked for her until she came back. It seemed that this team leader was not easy to be a good person. She must be able to do all the processes. .
