Chapter 280 The Predicament of the Garment Factory
"Director Cai, is it really so difficult?" Chen Cheng couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"That's right!" Director Cai said helplessly, "It's not easy to run a garment factory now, you've found a way out, so save me!"

Chen Cheng thought about it.

In fact, the garment factory in the Pearl River Delta behind has a mature assembly line.

Not only the mature assembly line in the factory, but also every link.

If you don't do branding and only do OEM, this is generally the case.

The companies here will design styles and go to exhibitions or something.

Then, the companies in the Yangtze River Delta usually take a fancy to which style they want, and then place an order for you to produce, and at the same time, post their brand.

After that, the companies in the Pearl River Delta began to find weaving factories for weaving, washing, and printing according to the clothing. They found processing factories capable of producing and placed orders for them.

This is the complete production line.

Of course, this is a very mature practice in the future, and now the private garment industry has just begun, and it seems that it is not so mature.

"Director Cai, who do you usually sell your clothes to?"

"Oh, it's all the same. Our boss knows some supply and marketing cooperatives. He supplied goods to the supply and marketing cooperatives for a while, and later some people asked our boss to place orders for private goods, but it's not good now. There are no more orders, and I don’t think this factory can continue to operate if it continues like this.”

"By the way, your boss...knows some individuals? Does he have sales channels?" Chen Cheng's heart moved and he asked.

"Yes!" Factory Manager Cai nodded, "If he didn't know anyone, he wouldn't dare to open this factory. After all, he doesn't even know how to make clothes."

Chen Cheng's thoughts changed sharply.

The supply and marketing cooperative can still be strong for a while, and the supply and marketing cooperative can continue to develop.

But at the same time, comprehensive shopping malls will develop, and then strong distributors will be needed to distribute these clothes to markets across the country.

It seems that I can't do so much by myself.

So you have to build a relationship with people who have such a sales channel.

"How about it..." Chen Cheng thought for a while before saying, "You make an appointment with your boss to see when he has time to have a meal with me, do you think so?"

Director Cai is also a smart person, and immediately smiled and said: "Of course, just wait, I will make an appointment with him for you, and I will let you know if I have any news! I have told you to my boss a long time ago. Miss you."

"Success, then I would like to thank Director Cai!"

After coming out of here, Chen Cheng went to the weaving factory.

The weaving factory is now bustling.

Gao Jin looked energetic, and ran over when Chen Cheng came in, "Boss Chen, our factory produces quite a lot of fabrics now, and I think it is more than enough to supply your garment factory." , I was thinking, should we expand other outlets?"

"No rush!" Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Just give birth first."

Gao Jin snorted, it was Chen Cheng's money anyway, so he really didn't need to worry.

"By the way, Director Gao, are there any factories here that do printing or embroidery?"

Gao Jin nodded and said: "There are, but... not many, embroidery and printing are quite trendy, and they are not cheap, and it is rare for ordinary clothes to do this, unless it is the uniform in the factory. Maybe something will be embroidered on it."

Chen Cheng nodded, "That's fine!"

If there is, Chen Cheng will be able to handle things easily.

I'm afraid not!
Thermal underwear does not need flowers or embroidery, it is just a piece of solid color cloth.

But if you make a T-shirt without printing or embroidery, it looks very monotonous.

It has only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and everyone has just escaped from the monotonous cloth color. This is the time when this kind of pattern is needed, and it has also been proved that printed or embroidered clothes will become the mainstream later.

In this way, it seems that I have to set up a design department!
Yes, there must be a design department.

Since even the brand has been registered, we can't just build a factory, we must set up a design department, so that we can compete with others for orders.

Now Chen Cheng defines himself as a processing plant, but the processing plant has to do well.

Back at the garment factory, Chen Cheng thought for a while before asking, "Sister Hong, is there a... designer at the Shunping Garment Factory?"

Shen Zhihong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Designers...there are definitely some, but the styles in our factory are almost universal, so there are no designs."

Chen Cheng smiled wryly, as if that was indeed the case.

Indeed, that kind of clothes, without printing, are almost enough with embroidery, and there is no need to make another pattern... What is the design!

Just have a pattern maker there!

"Xiaocheng, why are you asking this?"

"I want to find a designer!"

"Designer?" Shen Zhihong was really surprised, "Why are you looking for this thing? Isn't it just a pattern maker!"

Chen Cheng had a helpless expression on his face, look at it, let me just say it.

Everyone thinks so!

"Sister Hong, what we are going to do is not Zhenliang!" Chen Cheng could only explain, "There is no need for other things like Zhenliang, and the models are all standard, but we are different, what we need It’s clothes with personality, so a designer has to come.”

Shen Zhihong groaned, thought for a while before saying, "You really want to talk about a designer, but I know one."

"you recognize?"

Shen Zhihong nodded: "My dad's former master, but not much older than my dad, was originally the factory director of a state-owned factory. Because he was the factory director in the factory, he let his son learn fashion design, but Bar……"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhihong said with a dry smile: "The clothes designed are not very good, and people think they are not good. In the end, the ones who worked in the factory had no choice but to be fired."

"The design is not good?" Chen Cheng laughed and asked curiously, "Why is it not good?"

"It's just not grounded at all!" Shen Zhihong said.

Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

To be ungrounded is actually to be out of touch with Zhenliang's spirit, but not necessarily to be mine.

"By the way, do you still know where he is?"

"I know!" Shen Zhihong nodded and said, "Yang Gang still knows him. He's just over 30 now. He hasn't been to work since he was laid off. He wanders the streets every day, like a flying boy."

"Okay, let me get to know you when you have time, I'll treat him to dinner!" Chen Cheng said, "Maybe he's the one I need."

Shen Zhihong thought for a while, then shook her head disapprovingly.

This kind of person, Chen Cheng absolutely despises, looks unreliable at all.
