As soon as Lin Yi and others returned to Hong Kong, they received good news, "Boss, I found an order. A merchant wanted to order a batch of windbreakers and jeans."
"How many?"
"Initially 30,000 pieces. If the sales are good, we will increase the order later."
There are many garment factories in Hong Kong, and there are also many wholesale clothing markets. For example, Lai Chi Kok mainly sells local ready-made clothes, Granville Road mainly sells European and American returned products, which is the European and American version of export-to-domestic sales, and Jardine's Place Women's Market mainly sells
Women's fashion, underwear, etc.
Hong Kong's clothing industry is so developed, why should we buy clothes from Lin Yi and others? There is no other price advantage.
For example, jeans are produced in China. Denim is a thicker yarn-dyed warp-face twill cotton fabric, also known as indigo labor cloth. The overalls issued by major domestic factories and mining companies are actually made of denim.
.
The domestic production of denim is huge, so the price is very low.
As for quality.
There is absolutely no problem with the quality of clothing produced by mainland factories.
The problem before was still in the design. Using the same cloth, if you produced work clothes, they would look tacky, and if you produced jeans with pinched waists and thin legs, they would look foreign.
In order to sell, Lin Yi kept the price low. Merchants value profit the most. If they can get cheap goods, people will naturally be willing to buy them.
This order,
Lin Yi was not in a hurry to let He Qiming send it out. He was going to return to China in a few days and could just take it back by himself.
Shekou Industrial Zone signed an agreement,
This is just the beginning.
There is still a lot of work ahead, but things must be done step by step. After Lin Yi decides on some important points, the implementation details will be left to Lao He and Lao Chen to worry about, otherwise why would he hire a general manager?
Staying in Hong Kong these days, Lin Yi is actually waiting for news about fertilizers. This is his biggest business recently and there is no room for failure.
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang on the table.
He Qiming answered the call, said a few words, held down the phone and said to Lin Yi: "Boss, this is Mr. Luo Man, please listen to the call."
Lin Yi took the call.
"Roman, is there any news?"
Roman's accented English came from the other side, "Yes, Lin, the fertilizer has arrived at the port and can be picked up at any time."
"Have you given the explanation?"
Roman smiled on the phone and said, "Yes, we have already explained that fertilizers are most susceptible to moisture, and it is inevitable that this will happen. I also suggest that domestic packaging should be improved, preferably with fully sealed packaging."
The two laughed on the phone.
Put down the phone.
Lin Yi said to He Qiming: "The fertilizer has arrived at the port. You can arrange for it to be transported through customs and delivered to Luohu Port."
"Understood boss."
After the matter was settled, Lin Yi was ready to go back. This trip lasted more than twenty days, and it was already June in the blink of an eye.
Through customs.
Lin Yi came to Shenzhen, and Xue Ziqian came to pick him up, "Manager Lin, are you going back to Jiangcheng this time?"
"Yes, when I return to Jiangcheng, I will ask Director Xue to book a train ticket for me. Also, the batch of fertilizer has been shipped to Hong Kong and will be delivered to the Luohu Port Cargo Terminal in at most two days. Director Xue will be asked to help contact and install it at that time.
Transport it to Jiangcheng." Lin Yi said.
When Xue Ziqian heard that the fertilizer had arrived, his face was filled with joy.
"No problem. I've been in touch about the carriage in the past two days, and I'm sure the arrangements will be in place. You don't know, but several leaders have called me in the past few days. You don't know how much you attach importance to this matter."
He lowered his voice and whispered:
"Manager Lin, this matter has been included in the internal reference list."
Lin Yi was shocked.
"what's the situation?"
He didn't want to get involved in politics, he knew that was something he couldn't touch.
"Internal reference said that after the ambassadorial level dialogue, the two countries carried out normal trade under international rules, opening a new chapter for the future trade between the two countries." Xue Ziqian said.
Lin Yixin said that she just wanted to make a lot of money, so why did she reach such a high level?
He really doesn't want to be noticed.
The next day.
Lin Yi got on the train back to Jiangcheng.
As soon as Lin Yi's train set off, news about him spread back to Jiangcheng, including news about fertilizers. Countless people in Jiangcheng started to move.
...
Three days later,
The train arrives in Jiangcheng.
Lin Yi got off the bus at 10 a.m. and had nothing to do now. He planned to go to Hanzheng Street first.
Speaking of which,
Since he developed his career in Hong Kong, he has cared less and less about things in Jiangcheng. The business is basically entrusted to Xiang Xiang and Jiang Wu.
Lin Yi has already laid it.
Walk into Hanzheng Street.
Some people saw Lin Yi saying hello one after another.
"Boss Lin, you are back from the Special Administrative Region."
"Manager Lin, it's rare to see you now."
Lin Yi is now a celebrity in Hanzheng Street. The matter of Overseas Chinese Foreign Trade Company has been spread for a long time. Some people know that Lin Yi has overseas connections and has obtained millions of foreign exchange orders for Jiangcheng and even Hu Province. Now everyone knows that Lin Yi
Yi is a very capable person, and he is not comparable to those small businessmen and hawkers like them.
Lin Yi smiled and greeted the familiar stall owner, and soon walked near his store.
As soon as he got closer, he noticed that, my dear, there were people all over the three floors outside and on the third floor of his store, and it was bustling and noisy.
what's the situation,
Is someone causing trouble?
Lin Yi walked over quickly and found that it was not someone making trouble, but these people were rushing to buy things like crazy.
"Boss, I want these pants, show them to me."
"Boss, how much does this windbreaker cost? What's 85? Oh my god, it's several months of my salary."
"How do you sell these jeans? 35 is too expensive for you. Can you make them cheaper?"
Jiang Wu stood on a bench, much taller than everyone else, and kept answering the customers who were holding up their clothes to ask questions. He suddenly saw Lin Yi and immediately shouted in surprise, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, you are back."
.”
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me go down." He shouted to let the crowd separate, jumped down from the bench, and quickly came to Lin Yi.
"When did windbreakers, jeans, and bell-bottom pants go on sale?" Lin Yi asked.
"Five days ago, Director Lu sent a thousand pieces of each kind. Xiang Xiang and I made a total calculation, and they started selling the next day. Did you see the brand over there? They are exported to Hong Kong and Japan and sold domestically." Jiang Wu smiled.
Follow the path.
Lin Yi naturally saw the sign.
And he estimated that part of the reason why people were so crazy about buying it was because of the slogan on the brand.
Foreign goods are now a symbol of superiority in people's minds.
I feel proud if I can even get a little bit of it on.
This kind of mentality,
In fact, the future generations have not changed.
"How much did you sell?" Lin Yi asked.
Jiang Wu pulled Lin Yi to the side and said in a low voice: "This batch of clothes is too expensive, so there are few wholesales, only three or four hundred pieces a day, but there are many retails, and they were sold in one day in the past few days.
To more than a thousand pieces.”
The price was set before Lin Yi left. This time, Lin Yi did not implement any small-profit but quick-turnover strategy. The profit for the children's clothing originally obtained from the clothing factory was only about 20%. That was because there were too many similar products across the country and they were too expensive to be wholesaled.
go out.
And this time,
These windbreakers, jeans, and bell-bottom pants can be said to be the first in the country. Except for those imported from abroad in Youyi Store, he only sells them here and not in department stores. As long as his prices are lower than those in Youyi Shopping Mall, there is no problem.
certainly,
Lin Yi is not that dark.
For example, a pair of bell-bottom pants costs RMB 35 to RMB 40 for foreign exchange coupons at Friendship Store. Lin Yi sells a pair for RMB 35, which is a 30% price difference. Besides, where can ordinary people get foreign exchange coupons?
And how much can Lin Yi earn from a pair of pants?
The item he got from Director Lu was a pair of 12. In fact, the garment factory made a lot of money at this price, but it was far behind Lin Yi's profit.
Lin Yi earns 2 times.
Earn more than 20 yuan for a pair of pants.
Jeans are about the same,
Windbreakers are more expensive, you can earn around 50 per piece.
Lin Yi silently calculated in his mind and calculated it as 1,500 pieces a day. If the average profit was 20, he would earn 30,000 that day.
Thirty thousand a day,
This was 30,000 yuan in 1981. In later generations, it would be equivalent to earning 3 million yuan a day, a truly crazy profit.
Oh shit,
Don't even start a sunglasses factory.
As long as Hanzheng Street is completed, making a million a month is not a dream.
After calculating this number, Lin Yi himself was shocked. Damn, this is too much. Will he be targeted? After all, it is still the early stage of reform and opening up, and many things have not yet been completely finalized. But he knows that reform and opening up
In the past few years, a group of people still fell.
Idiot Guazi is not an exception.
But after thinking about it again, Lin Yi felt relieved again.
Damn it.
What are you afraid of~!
Anyway, this is a game world. At worst, if you go to Hong Kong, what can you do to yourself? Besides, you have to think about whether they want foreign exchange.
"Tell Xiang Xiang to go upstairs to settle accounts at noon." Lin Yi said to Xiao Wu.
"Okay Brother Yi."
At noon, there was still no time to rest, and there was still an endless stream of people buying clothes. The restaurant sent aluminum lunch boxes, and Jiang Wu, Li Xiangqian and the others ate at the stall.
Is it hard?
Their wages are several times that of ordinary workers, and they also receive hefty bonuses every month, as well as big red envelopes and new year gifts at the end of the year. In comparison, they are already luckier than most people. There are many people who work harder than them.
But there are still a few people who can get their money.
Study room on the second floor.
Li Xiangqian and Jiang Wu came over.
Li Qianqian was holding a big bag in his hand.
"Brother Yi, here is the bill, here is the money, take a look."
Lin Yi counted the accounts in front of the two brothers. He now has photographic memory. Not only does he have a super memory, but his calculation ability has also been greatly improved. He glanced at it and remembered it all in his mind, and then he did a mental calculation and the accounts were accurate.
A total of 160,000 yuan, including part of the purchase price, and a profit of more than 110,000 yuan. The main reason is that the windbreaker, jeans and bell-bottoms have just been sold. If they are sold for a longer time, I am afraid they will not fit in one package.
"You've been working hard these days, let's have dinner together tonight." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Okay." The two agreed happily together.
night.
Yuebin Building private room,
Lin Yi and his brothers had a good drink, and Zuo Xiaoqing was also called by him. Naturally, Yang Doudou also came, and this time there was another woman, Ma Dan's girlfriend Guan Xiaomei.
Before Ma Dan, his family was very poor and burdened. His father died early and he had several younger brothers and sisters to support. He did not dare to pursue Guan Xiaomei. But since he followed Lin Yi, he has made more and more money and his family's life has improved.
I also bought a house a few months ago.
Finally, she had the confidence to confess that Guan Xiaomei had always been interested in Ma Dan, otherwise she would not have helped him, and the two soon became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Some people say that love does not care about money.
But love without money is generally very difficult, and most of the endings are not happy.
I don't care about money,
She doesn't have to care,
But what about reality, what about family, what about parents, what about future children? If love is not happy, is it still called love?
...
Return home after drinking.
"Brother, take a bath first." Zuo Xiaoqing said.
"OK."
Zuo Xiaoqing went to get Lin Yi soap and towel.
Now that it is June, Zuo Xiaoqing has placed two large aluminum basins in the yard, filled with water, and lets them bask in the sun all day long, and the water is perfect for bathing at night.
The courtyard has a red brick floor.
It was newly paved during renovation and is smooth and clean.
Lin Yi took off his clothes and stood in the courtyard, with his arms spread wide. Zuo Xiaoqing scooped up water and gave it to Lin Yi to rinse slowly. The water was warm after being exposed to the sun for a day, and he felt very comfortable after washing it.
Although the two have been together for half a year, Zuo Xiaoqing was still blushing and heart-warming when he wiped Lin Yi's body, especially when he was washing the front.
Lin Yi smiled evilly and kept Zuo Xiaoqing in his arms, "Wash with me."
