Taking the clothes handed over by Section Chief Wang, Chen Lishu unfolded them in her hands and took a closer look. The quality was not bad. It should contain spandex and have a little stretch. However, the appearance was really ordinary. Finally, Chen Lishu's eyes fell.
On the left breast pocket of the clothes is a line of small words: XX steel rolling mill.
Section Chief Wang saw her eyes falling on those embroidered words and said with a smile: "This is not obvious, it doesn't affect the wear at all."
It does not affect the wear, but it affects the appearance!
"Section Chief Wang, I run a store and do business. This will affect sales too much. I think we should forget it."
Chen Lishu said and put the clothes back in her hands.
She came here to buy clothes, not to buy him some stuff. She even paid 12 yuan for a piece, and she didn't even buy it for ten yuan.
When Section Chief Wang heard that she didn't want to buy it, he immediately became anxious: "This is really newly produced this year. It's just a little dusty after being stored for a long time, but the quality is fine. If you sincerely want to buy it, I can discuss it with the leader. It's ten yuan."
Money, before the steel rolling mill ordered from us, it was only twelve pieces per piece."
Section Chief Wang was also worried. The steel rolling mill was not very profitable. The two or three thousand pieces of half-sleeves that were originally ordered for the employees were discarded because they had names printed on them. Even if they wanted to give them to other mills, they would not give them away.
Maybe, there are still costs in the factory. Even if the steel rolling mill pays the order money, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the cost.
Chen Lishu frowned. Judging from the amount of dust, it was absolutely impossible for this year's production. A half-sleeve with this quality would be sold in a store for only thirteen or four at most, and the order was only twelve. It seemed that Section Chief Wang didn't say a word.
truth.
"Seven dollars, I want as much as you have." Chen Lishu said and patted the dust on her hands.
How much do you want?
"I have nearly three thousand pieces in total?"
Chen Lishu was noncommittal.
"In this way, if you can get everything and promise to pay it all at once, our factory will compensate you with nine yuan a piece. What do you think?"
Chen Lishu shook her head: "I don't care about the specific year it was produced. There are words on it. Most people will definitely not buy it if they are wrong. There is no need to think about it in the city. I can only transport it to the dealer and sell it at a low price. The freight is
Labor, everything is money. At your price, not only will I not make a profit, but I may even lose money. Otherwise, I'll just forget it."
"Eight yuan, it can't go any lower. Just to save our worries, this price is definitely close to the land. Otherwise, we would definitely be able to sell it if we find a car ourselves and take it to the countryside to sell it at a low price."
In any case, it is produced in a large factory. As long as the quality is good, even rural people can buy it.
"That's okay too."
Section Chief Wang thought she agreed, and before the smile formed on his lips, he heard Chen Lishu say: "If this is the case, then I don't want it."
Section Chief Wang: "..."
After some haggling between the two parties, Chen Lishu finally bought more than 2,800 pieces of half-sleeves for seven yuan, but she had to pick up the goods herself. In the words of Section Chief Wang, a business that had already lost money could no longer be done.
Delivered.
After Chen Lishu paid the money and got the receipt, she went back and asked Liang Chunsheng to come over and deliver all the newly purchased goods to the rented warehouse with her.
"Here, this is the employee's work uniform, right? There are words on it, can customers buy it?" While the two were unloading the goods, Liang Chunsheng frowned as he looked at the words on it.
"It's definitely not easy to sell." Seeing Liang Chunsheng's doubts, Chen Lishu said truthfully: "But it's definitely cheap, only seven yuan a piece. When the time comes, we can process it ourselves and sell it for more than ten yuan."
When she bought it, Chen Lishu had actually thought about it. The half-sleeves were of plain color. She just had to remove the breast pocket and sew on other things for embellishment, so it wouldn't be visible.
After three trips back and forth with Liang Chunsheng, we finally got all the goods back. The two of us were very tired.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Liang Chunsheng returned to the store, while Chen Lishu went to the underground market by the river.
It can no longer be called an underground market because it has passed the open market. As long as the vendors pay their stall fees on time, the urban management will not arrest people like before.
Dong Jian now has his own fixed stall, and because the things are new and good-looking, the business is not bad. When he saw Chen Lishu coming, he smiled and greeted: "Comrade Chen hasn't been here for a long time."
"Yeah." Chen Lishu nodded, her eyes falling on the goods on the stall.
"Do you still want to look at the beads? I recently got some new styles." Dong Jian said, taking out a few beads from a bag and showing them to Chen Lishu.
Chen Lishu took it in her hand and took a look. It was indeed better-looking than the previous organic beads. One was a white bead the size of a rice grain, and the other was a red round bead the size of a soybean. The two looked good together, but they were not.
Perfect for decorating her new batch of clothes.
Chen Lishu returned the bead. When her eyes fell on the shining golden thing on the other side, her eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out to be sequins!
This thing appeared on many clothes later, that is, in the next few years, jackets with sequins were also popular for a while.
“How do you sell this kind of sequins?”
Dong Jian quickly replied: "Fifty cents a pack."
Chen Lishu looked at the palm-sized paper bag in her hand and felt that the price was really not expensive. She happily bought ten bags. She hesitated before leaving and spent another ten yuan to buy each of the red and white beads she just saw.
Bought some.
After Chen Lishu got home, she took out the new clothes she bought today, first removed the breast pocket, and then used a pen to outline a simple little flower at the place where the stitches were removed, and then used sequins to join them along the drawn lines.
Make a pattern of flowers.
After finishing it, Chen Lishu picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully. She was satisfied, but the overall feeling was still a bit too monotonous, so she raised her pen to draw a few simple lines on the collar.
After everything was done, Chen Lishu nodded with satisfaction.
…
On the other side, Zhao Hong and Jin Kun were having a fierce quarrel.
"Why do you stop doing a good job if you don't want to do it? You didn't even say a word to me?"
After learning that Jin Kun had been placed on leave without pay in the factory, Zhao Hong was so angry that she threw the cup in her hand.
A sharp flash passed in Jin Kun's eyes: "I've told you before, don't you disagree?"
A good regular employee of the meat factory, earning more than 40 yuan a month, a job that everyone else wanted to do, was suspended when he was told to do so. Zhao Hong shouted loudly: "I don't agree with your suspension.
What do you mean?"
Jin Kun took a deep breath from his cigarette and put the last cigarette butt into the small iron box that served as an ashtray in front of him: "I've resigned anyway, so what's the use of talking about it now."
