The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiao Zhao looked at the empty walls on both sides of the stall and sighed. Even the model at the door was naked. It was so ugly that Xiao Zhao had no choice but to take a summer dress and put it on.

A Yong came over and saw it, and said to Xiao Zhao, you have no clothes here, and I am not even qualified to be a porter. My stall, wherever the stall is, is just a warehouse.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

The phone on the table rang and Xiao Zhao answered it. On the phone, a man said "Huh" and asked, are you booth No. 1117?

Xiao Zhao said yes.

"Where's that man? He's the designer... Oh, are you his wife? It's that one..."

Is it the big belly? Xiao Zhao knew what the other party wanted to say, but couldn't say it. Big Belly has almost become Xiao Zhao's code name. Wherever she goes, people call her Big Belly. Even the security guards in the market and the boss of the ironing room call her her. Big belly, what’s wrong with a big belly? Doesn’t everyone come out of a big belly?

Xiao Zhao said to the other party: "Yes, I am the one with the big belly."

The other party laughed loudly: "Hello, hello, I'm from Nanjing. My friend and I went to your place to purchase goods together..."

Xiao Zhao smiled and said: "Hello, I remember you, what can I do for you?"

"The cotton and linen shirt, are you still available today?"

"No more, all the ones that came today are sold out." Xiao Zhao felt that when he said this, he felt really happy.

"What about the T-shirt?"

"No more."

"It's a good deal, it's so easy to sell..."

Xiao Zhao smiled slightly, said nothing, and felt a little proud.

The other party continued to ask: "Will there be one tomorrow?"

Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "I'll have it tomorrow."

"Okay, please remember it for me. There are five colors of plaid shirts. I want one S size, two M sizes, and two L sizes for each color. There are twenty-five pieces in total. That T-shirt, There are two styles and three colors, right?”

Xiao Zhao is right.

"Two blue pieces of each style and one other piece, a total of eight pieces. Also, do you remember the jeans we got?"

Xiao Zhao said he remembered.

"One pair each of 26, 27, 28, and 29. There are three sizes of denim jackets, one in each size. Boss lady, have you remembered it well?"

Xiao Zhao said that I have memorized it. Do you want to report it to you again?

The other party said yes.

Xiao Zhao reported it once, and the other party said yes, this is what I want. My name is Fang Xiang Hong, the direction of the steering wheel, Hong Hong, have you written it down? Next is my friend's.

"Say." Xiao Zhao said to the other party.

"She wants the same shirts and T-shirts as me. Jeans, she wants three pairs of 25, 27, and 28. She wants two pairs of denim jackets. She doesn't want small sizes. You have to sign up again."

Xiao Zhao reported it once, and the other party continued:

"Her surname is Qin, Qin Shihuang's Qin, her name is...forget it, you can just write the character Qin. In this way, you can put the goods we want in separate black bags, and put a note on the outside. Add your name and tie the two bags together with tape.

"By the way, if you have a woven bag to pack, just pack it for us and just write my name on the outside. We won't be here tomorrow. Please help me take it to the Changqing parking lot and find our car in Nanjing. Boss lady, please write down the car number."

Xiao Zhao remembered the car number and reported it to the other party. The other party said, "Yes, this car leaves at 12:40. You can just help me deliver it before then. Give the sales receipt to the driver. The driver I will give you the money, remember?”

Xiao Zhao said yes, I will remember it.

Thank you, thank you! The other party said, thank you boss lady, don’t forget that the bus leaves at 12:40, goodbye.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhao called A Yong, and A Yong ran over. Xiao Zhao told him the five pieces of clothes he needed, and A Yong hurried back and got them.

Near the foot of the front wall, there were two layers of cardboard boxes. The pants they wanted were in the cardboard box below. Xiao Zhao directed A Yong to help her find them, and then took two large black vest bags and packed them separately. .

…

Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang first went to Taipingmenzhi Street to buy sewing machines, and on the way back, they went to the Sijiqing Fabric Market.

There was a sewing machine installed in the car, so Zhang Chen asked Zhao Zhigang to wait at the door. He went in by himself, walked to the booth of the Taiwanese boss Cai Jinxiang, and told Boss Cai that I wanted those three rolls of Lycra fabric.

Boss Cai did some calculations on the calculator and told Zhang Chen that because this fabric is elastic, it cannot be measured once the whole roll is opened. Let’s calculate it in kilograms, 85 yuan per kilogram. Calculated this way, it will be spread out to every meter. About thirty-four yuan, what do you think?

Zhang Chen said yes, I will do as you say.

The two people carried the rolls of fabrics to the scale, and when they passed the scale, Zhang Chen was happy that the blue color, their best seller, actually had the largest quantity.

Zhang Chen cut five other fabrics at Boss Cai's stall. Boss Cai said, if anyone wants these fabrics, I will take them from you first. If you are sure you don't want them, I will promise them to others. Do you like it?

Zhang Chen quickly said thank you!

Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang returned to the tailor shop. The shop was crowded with another sewing machine. The two of them stuffed two rolls of cotton and linen fabrics under the cutting table, and put the other three rolls and the new ones that came in today. Three rolls of Lycra fabric were moved into the room where Zhao Zhigang and his friends lived. The space freed up by the cotton and linen fabric was just the location of a sewing machine.

In this way, it will be a little more troublesome when cutting, and the fabric needs to be moved in and out. However, aren't they going to have another young man coming soon, who can help move it.

After setting up the machine, Zhang Chen parked the tricycle at the door and walked to a noodle shop not far away to eat noodles. He hadn't eaten lunch yet.

When Zhang Chen came back from eating noodles, he saw an extra person in the tailor shop. Zhao Zhigang said that this was his brother Zhao Zhilong.

Zhao Zhilong and Zhao Zhigang looked nothing alike. They were dark and thin, with thin lips that were always pursed. They were commonly known as flat-mouthed, and they were not very talkative. Zhao Zhigang told him that this was Boss Zhang, and the corners of Zhao Zhilong's mouth twitched. A moment is considered a smile, and a smile is considered a greeting.

Looking like this, Zhang Chen couldn't tell that he would be a ruthless character.

But when he sat down in front of the sewing machine, he seemed to be a different person in an instant, the expression on his face became vivid, and he was even humming a song.

Zhang Chen stood next to him and watched for a while, then he realized that he was wrong. What Caidi said was true. This guy moved really fast. Not only did he move fast, he also seemed to have his own way of working. He was alone. An assembly line is formed.

He will recombine all the processes. When he is in front of the sewing machine, such as seaming, he will close all the places that need to be closed. After completing one process, he will smoothly transition to the next process. He will rarely go back and forth to do useless work.

When it was time to overlay, he would sit down in front of the overlay machine for a long time. He would finish all the work that needed to be overlayed at once, and then stand up. In this way, he would save a lot of unnecessary back and forth. Moving around increases efficiency a lot.

Zhang Chen found it pleasing to watch this guy working. As soon as he sat in front of the machine, his dark and thin body seemed to have entered his home court. His whole body was shining brightly, giving people a cool feeling.

Zhang Chen walked out of the tailor shop and rode his tricycle home. He planned to return the tricycle first and then come over here in case the landlord needed it.

As soon as he rode to the yard below, the BB camera in Zhang Chen's waist rang. He looked at it and saw that it was the number in the booth, and it was Xiao Zhao who was knocking him.

Zhang Chen rode his bicycle back to Sanbao Street and found a public phone to call. Xiao Zhao told him about the Nanjing customer's order and said to him:

"What should I do, dear, I counted, there are sixty-six shirts and T-shirts in total, and there are none in the store. I have put summer clothes on the model, there are so many, Caidi and the others can't make them Do you have to come out?"

"No problem, Changshan Zhao Zilong is here." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "There must be no problem. After shipping the goods to Nanjing, there should be some leftover."

"Really?" Xiao Zhao was doubtful, "Who did you just say was coming?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zhigang's younger brother, I just watched him work. This guy is only faster than Caidi, not slower than Caidi."

"Really? That's great!" Xiao Zhao exclaimed, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Chen returned to the tailor shop. Zhao Zhigang was tailoring clothes. Zhang Chen told him what he needed most urgently tomorrow. Zhao Zhigang wrote it down in a book hung on the wall with a rope.

Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang said, should I do the cutting?

Zhao Zhigang shook his head and said, "I'll cut it for a while, you won't be able to pick it up."

Yes, with only two people working together, Zhao Zhigang and Caidi, he could no longer keep up with the cuts. Now that there was another Zhao Zhilong, how could he possibly be able to supply them?

Damn it, why did tailoring become a new problem after more and more people sewed? Zhao Zhigang seemed to know what he was thinking. He also sighed and said, there is no way, the place is too small, if it is bigger, make one With a cutting bed of several meters and electric shears, you can cut dozens or hundreds of pieces in one edition.

Listening to Zhao Zhigang's emotion, Zhang Chen thought to himself, this is why we need a clothing factory.

Zhang Chen also thought of a headache. They were rushing goods like this every day, and even he and Xiao Zhao used it. The most troublesome thing now was that he didn't have time to design new styles, and Zhao Zhigang didn't have time to make boards or make them. The sample clothes are ready, and even the pieces of fabric he bought from the Dongxin Road Fabric Market are still in the plastic bag at the corner of the cutting table without opening them.

This is really not a good thing. Any style will be sold out and lose its freshness. Every clothing store will also be saturated. It is impossible to say that one style can be sold for one season.

For customers, it is best that every time they come to you, you will have new models, so that they can become your loyal customers. Every time they come to Hangzhou to purchase goods, the first thing they will think of is to come to you first. .

While taking old models, he will also take away new ones. Just like what Zhang Chen saw in the old market before, you will have more and more customers and your turnover will continue to expand. One style after another, Only then can the new and the old be seamlessly integrated. Otherwise, you will always have no new products, and old customers will be disappointed and leave after a few visits, and finally say goodbye to you.

This is not only true for wholesale customers, but also for retail customers. Didn’t all the customers that I had worked hard to accumulate in the past few months be driven away by the cartons in that stall?

Zhang Chen felt that this was a hidden worry. If he did not solve this hidden worry, he would not be able to get far. But now, with customers chasing the goods every day, how could they spare the time and energy to resolve this hidden worry?

To solve this problem, the best way is to have a factory. In the factory, there are cutters for cutting, sample workers for sample clothes, sewing workers for sewing, ironing, and buttonhole packaging. Tao, just like what he saw in the factory in Shengxian County.

Only in this way can he have time to design, and only Zhao Zhigang can have time to make plans.

Now, both he and Zhao Zhigang are doing almost everything but have no time to design and make boards.

A few days ago, Zhang Chen thought that the need for a clothing factory was a distant ideal. Unexpectedly, it has now become his immediate concern, forcing him to face it.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to face it.
