When Lin Mai came home, he was catching up with the small clothing workshop in the attic after get off work.
When the workers saw her, they all smiled and greeted her, and Lin Mai responded gently.
Tao Zhiyun followed Lin Mai into the house and asked impatiently: "Have you bought both the sewing machine and the hemming machine?"
Lin Mai nodded: "I bought them all, but they exceeded the standard. I bought a hundred sewing machines and thirty sewing machines."
Tao Zhiyun patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it's not like the factory you bought can't be accommodated.
Anyway, our Unico garment factory will grow bigger and bigger, and those equipment will be needed soon."
If you really don’t need it, you can still sell it without damaging your hands.”
"I think so too." Lin Mai asked, "I asked Zhuo Ran to send you a message, asking you to go to various textile factories to buy summer fabrics and determine spring, autumn and winter fabrics.
In particular, I want to order thickened nylon cloth and artificial cotton in large quantities, have you done so?"
Tao Zhiyun nodded and said: "I did as I was told, but I only ordered 30,000 yuan worth of summer fabrics, and 200,000 yuan worth of spring, autumn and winter fabrics."
"Then when you signed the contract with those textile factories, did you specify that all ordered goods must be delivered within half a month?"
Jiangcheng is the largest city in central China. Even if information is less available than in coastal cities, the rising prices of fabrics will sweep across Jiangcheng in a month at the latest.
By then, the state-owned textile factories may rather break the contract than deliver goods to them.
Although this era is a time of economic transformation, the country will still focus on people's livelihood.
Private enterprises like them are nothing more than capital in the eyes of the state.
If capital contributes to the country, the country will welcome it, but if it affects people's livelihood, it will not be lenient in suppressing it.
After all, this is a country where the people come first. For the sake of the people, capital comes second.
.So we must race against time and get the fabric we ordered before the rising prices hit Jiangcheng. Only then will we be stable.
That's why Lin Mai asked Tao Zhiyun to specify delivery within half a month when signing contracts with textile factories, otherwise he would pay high liquidated damages, just to force those state-owned textile factories to deliver goods quickly.
Tao Zhiyun hesitated for a moment and then said sarcastically: "Your boyfriend signed the contract. I read it. There is no problem. It fully meets your requirements."
Lin Mai was speechless and raised his forehead: "I asked Zhuo Ran to tell you how to sign the contract, and you still want him to sign it?"
Tao Zhiyun blushed: "People are not good at negotiating business with others, so you can't force others to make things difficult for you.
Besides, your boyfriend is so good and he negotiated a very low price with the textile factory. He is so talented and cannot let it go to waste."
Lin Mai was dumbfounded by what she said and asked Tao Zhiyun to give her the contract.
Tao Zhiyun hurried to the room, took out the contract and handed it to her.
Lin Mai opened it and saw that, as Tao Zhiyun said, Fang Zhuoran signed a contract with various state-owned textile factories in Jiangcheng according to her request, and the price was very cost-effective.
Lin was relieved.
After putting away the contract, Lin Mai opened a large canvas bag and said to Tao Zhiyun with a smile: "Look, what is this?"
Tao Zhiyun took a look into the canvas bag, and his eyes suddenly glowed: "Ah! What a beautiful bra!"
She picked up a bra and gestured to her body.
Lin Mai glanced at the bra in her hand: "You can't fit this size, you have to wear a larger size."
Tao Zhiyun's face suddenly turned red.
Although she is a fashion designer and is more avant-garde and fashionable than ordinary people, in this relatively conservative era, she is still embarrassed to have such a good figure.
When Lin Mai bought the batch of bras at the customs, she specially selected the best-looking styles and chose ten bras each for her, Tao Zhiyun and Zhou Caiyun.
She sells bras, but they don’t have any bras to wear. Doesn’t that mean that the oil seller has no oil to comb her hair?
The two of them were holding bras and chatting animatedly. The ajar door was pushed open, and Fang Zhuoran came in with two cute babies who were playing downstairs.
Tao Zhiyun ran away very shamelessly, pretending that she didn't look at her bra just now.
In this day and age, admiring bras in front of men is very embarrassing.
Lin Mai hurriedly stuffed the bra into the canvas bag alone.
Fang Zhuoran stared at her and asked, "What are you putting in your bag?"
Lin Mai was quick to think: "I'm not putting anything in it, I'm taking something out of it."
As she spoke, she took out a large handful of men's underwear and handed it to Fang Zhuoran: "This is for you."
At this time, Lin Mai was extremely lucky that she had put the underwear given to Fang Zhuoran's grandson in the canvas bag, otherwise she would be embarrassed now.
Fang Zhuoran looked at those men's underwear with a smile and praised meaningfully: "My wife is really good to me!"
Lin Mai felt relieved when he saw that he had successfully diverted his attention.
He turned to Tao Zhiyun and asked: "I don't know how the clothes that were taken away by the industrial and commercial office were handled last time. Have you gone to the industrial and commercial office to find out?"
Tao Zhiyun shook his head: "No.
But if you go to Guangzhou, people from the Industrial and Commercial Office will come to investigate.
I asked at that time when the results would be available.
An industrial and commercial person told me that the results would be available within a week.
It happens to be a week today, I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Office tomorrow to ask."
"I'll go tomorrow." Lin Mai said.
Before the Industrial and Commercial Office produced results, she did not plan to set up a stall on Jianghan Road to avoid causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.
There are outsiders living in Lin Mai's house, so it is inconvenient for him to be intimate with Lin Mai.
After dinner, Fang Zhuoran left.
Before leaving, he told Lin Mai to go to bed early at night.
Although Ke Ziqing was taking care of him in Guangzhou, Lin Mai had to do a lot of things every time he went to Guangzhou, and it was very hard to run around.
In addition, taking the train back and having to worry about it all the way will make you feel haggard.
Fang Zhuoran saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
And there was nothing he could do to help, except to let Lin Mai go to bed early at night.
Lin Mai said hello, because he had to go to two stores to inspect the business, so he went downstairs with Fang Zhuoran.
Before she reached the door of her store, Aunt Peng stopped her again.
She opened her mouth and said, "Xiaohong's mother finally gave me the money my family paid for her family's public wall.
She hasn't given you yours yet, so go find her!
For someone like her who loves cheap things, if you don’t want it, she won’t take the initiative to give it to you!”
"Okay, I'll go and get it right away." Lin Mai followed suit and stood in front of Xiaohong's mother's door and called out several times before Xiaohong's mother reluctantly walked out.
She gave Aunt Peng a hard look, and then said to Lin Mai angrily: "You screamed like you were summoning spirits, is something wrong?"
"It's not a big deal." Lin Mai smiled calmly, "I just want to ask eldest sister, when will you give me the cost of the public wall that I paid for your house in advance?"
Xiaohong's mother had a very bad attitude: "Hey, hurry, hurry, what's there to urge? It's as if I won't give it to you. I live next door to you and I can't run away. What are you worried about?"
Aunt Peng said angrily from the side: "If you think others are pushing you, then you should give them money!"
Xiaohong's mother said with a sullen face: "I don't have money now. When I have money, I'm sure I won't need you to meddle in my own business!" After that, she turned around and wanted to enter the house.
Lin Mai grabbed her and said, "Can't you come up with only a few dozen yuan? If you can't come up with it, you have to write an IOU."
In fact, she really didn't care about the tens of dollars. If she had, she would have asked Xiaohong's mother for it.
But she just couldn't stand how arrogant Xiaohong's mother was when she owed her money, so she had to get the money back.
Xiaohong’s mother looked like she was afraid of boiling water: “I can’t read, how do you want me to write an IOU?”
Lin Mai said darkly in her ear: "Do you think I'm easy to talk to, so you want to cheat?
Go and ask He Sheng across the way how I dealt with him, and then you can consider whether you want to blame me."
