The Pentium Era - South to North

What surprised Zhang Chen was that Xu Qiaoxin received two more orders for wedding dresses. Xu Qiaoxin and Zhang Chen said that there were still several customers whom they should be able to negotiate with. With this intention, they said they could not find a factory to make wedding dresses. When they saw our products, they liked them very much.

The business of Zhang Chen and his specialty stores across the country has begun to improve. In the Sanbao factory, the production task was tight, but now there are so many wedding dress orders suddenly added. Zhao Zhigang feels that the pressure has suddenly increased.

The most important thing is the production of wedding dresses, which is different from ordinary clothes. There is not much sewing work, but a lot of manual work, such as creasing, gold and silver, flower arrangement, boning, beading, etc. , it also occupies a large space. Unlike their cotton and linen clothing production, which can produce hundreds of thousands of pieces a month, wedding dresses can produce thousands of pieces a month, so the scale is very large.

But the profit from several thousand pieces can be said to be quite considerable.

Zhao Zhigang suggested setting up a wedding gauze factory. He told Zhang Chen that the equipment for making wedding gauze is different from what we have now, such as a secret copying machine, a date stamping machine, an interlock sewing machine, and a hot stamping machine. We now measure It's not big, and it can be lifted with other machines, but the quality and effect are still different from those of professional machines.

Moreover, if two different types of products are placed in the same workshop, it is difficult to determine the labor price, and workers will compare with each other.

For example, workers who arrange flowers have very high technical requirements, and the wages and wages are of course high. Now, even those who work behind the scenes want to arrange flowers. Let her do it, and it will make a mess for you. If you don't let her go, you will have objections. It's very big, and the same goes for hemming and close copying. The one with hemming thinks that since it's also hemming, why is her salary different from that of close copying? Anyway, there are a lot of contradictions.

Lin Shuwan agreed with Zhao Zhigang's statement. She told Zhang Chen that the wedding dress market may look small, but in reality, it is still very big. Moreover, in mainland China, the demand will become bigger and bigger in the future, like ours. The store only sold one or two wedding dresses in a month last year, but this year in just over a month, more than a dozen were sold.

In the past, people who came to take wedding photos had to sell people before they would want to buy it. Now, after people take photos, they ask if they can buy the wedding dress. There are many rich people in mainland China now who are willing to spend thousands of dollars to take wedding photos. Yes, for them, it is normal to spend thousands more to buy a wedding dress.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao also believed that since wedding dresses were still a blank slate, they should enter this industry and seize the opportunity. They quickly made up their mind to set up a specialized wedding dress factory.

Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen said, ok, our Hangcheng Spoke Factory still has a workshop with debris piled there, so we can use it to make a wedding dress factory for you.

"You don't want it in the warehouse?" Zhang Chen asked.

"There's so much open space inside, I can just build a warehouse at random."

"No, this won't work." Lin Shuwan said, "These foreign customers have to come to inspect the factory and inspect the goods. If the environment is too bad, they will have objections. For something as expensive as a wedding dress, think about it. Can you give birth in a dilapidated house?"

Liu Ligan said: "Just paint it and it will be new."

Lin Shuwan puffed out her cheeks and shook her head.

Qu Tianlin also said on the side that Shuwan's words are still correct. Zhang Chen Xiaozhao, your wedding gauze factory is different from our printing factory. In our printing factory, what people value is the equipment. As long as the factory building is tidy, it will be fine. Moreover, we They are all domestic customers, and everyone is not so picky about this.

"Sister Qu said very well. Brother, this wedding dress factory should at least be like the current factory. Customers will be satisfied only when they come. There are many European and American customers who have to inspect the factory before placing orders. It's different. Yes." Lin Shuwan said.

"What about moving your current one here and using it as a wedding dress factory in Sanbao?" Liu Ligan asked.

Zhang Chen immediately dismissed the idea. With more than a thousand workers arriving at the Hangcheng Spoke Factory, there was no room for them to live, let alone production.

It was too late to build another factory, so he decided to see if he could buy one. Zhang Chen went to the "Qianjiang Evening News" and saw many advertisements for the transfer of Hangzhou garment factories in the newspaper's classified advertisement column, so he called. But I soon became disappointed. These so-called garment factory transfers were all small garment processing factories near Hangzhou with more than ten or twenty sewing machines.

This kind of processing plant doesn't even have its own factory building and lives in a farmer's rental house. How can it meet Zhang Chen's requirements?

There was a foreign trade garment factory for transfer. It sounded like a decent factory, but the phone number was not 0571, but from Ningbo. After calling and asking, it turned out that it was in Yuyao. Zhang Chen thought it was too far away and was inappropriate.

"Come on, what newspaper are you reading? Write down your requirements. I'll advertise and let people come to us." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen heard it right. We had never done anything like this when we were looking for a skilled sewing worker from Qinglong. How could we have forgotten this?

Zhang Chen quickly wrote down his requirements. Clothing factories in Hangzhou or near Hangzhou are required to be independent and have a factory area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters.

Liu Ligan took Zhang Chen's request to the Qianjiang Evening News and asked for it to be expedited. He paid an extra two hundred yuan, and the advertisement came out the next day.

After the advertisement was posted, calls came in quickly. Some were from Tonglu, some were from Fuyang, some were from Haining, some were from Xiaoshan, and one was actually from Yongcheng. Zhang Chen was surprised and thought to himself, Yongcheng is still here. What kind of clothing factory would there be? Ask the other party, which one is in Yongcheng?

Do you know if there are people who dream of wearing leather jackets?

Zhang Chen quickly said, "I know, I know, is it the factory that Lao Fu works for?"

The other party is right.

"Are you Lao Fu?" Zhang Chen asked.

The other party quickly said no, Lao Fu was no longer in the factory.

Zhang Chen went to Menai Leather Goods Factory and bought leather clothes there. For a while, people in Yongcheng went there to buy leather clothes. The owner’s surname was Fu. He turned out to be a cultural clerk at the cultural station in a town below Yongcheng, and Zhang Chen Their Wu Opera Troupe was in the same system. Zhang Chen followed a few people from the county cultural center and library to buy leather clothes. Lao Fu was very generous and only took half of their money.

"Why, Lao Fu doesn't do it anymore?"

The other party asked: "Do you know Lao Fu?"

Zhang Chen quickly said, "I don't think we know each other. I went to buy leather clothes from you, and Lao Fu even gave me a discount."

The other party said "Oh" and then said: "It can't be done anymore, the Russians have tricked us."

Zhang Chen suddenly felt that he couldn't speak any more and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Yongcheng is too far away and is not within the scope of Zhang Chen's consideration, and he doesn't want to go back to Yongcheng. He knows too many people in Yongcheng. If you go back, there will definitely be people who want your help. You can't satisfy everyone. As long as you don't meet people's requirements at all, you will offend people. Unlike in other places, you don't have to accept anyone's demands.

The scene that happened at Xiao Zhao's house makes Zhang Chen still a little scared when he thinks about it now.

Liu Ligan accompanied Zhang Chen, and they went to see the two stores in Fuyang and Xiaoshan. The one in Fuyang was probably renovated from an old clothing factory. It was shabby and they would not consider it.

The one in Xiaoshan is a new factory. The factory building is more than 5,000 square meters. The price offered by the other party is not high. The three-story factory building and two-story office building only cost 1.9 million. They will use this place as a wedding dress factory. , is very appropriate.

Unfortunately, his land was rented from the village for 60,000 yuan a year. He has paid rent for twenty years, and there are still sixteen years left. It is said that the lease can be renewed when it expires, but Zhang Chen He and Liu Ligan felt that if this was from the village, it would probably not be a big problem. For outsiders like them, it would be better to be more clear-minded.

They decided to treat this as a spare tire. If there is really no other way, it can be used. The factory building worth more than one million yuan has been used for more than ten years. When the time comes, it is no longer needed. Just treat it as a piece of more than 200,000 yuan. Years of rent, rented a factory.

On the way back to Hangzhou from Xiaoshan, Zhang Chen's phone rang. There was also a factory to be transferred. The other party told Zhang Chen that compared with the requirements in your newspaper, it might be a bit larger. The factory building is more than 7,000 square meters, and it is still There is a dormitory building and an office building.

Zhang Chen became interested as soon as he heard it. He said, it doesn't matter if it's older. Where is it?

"It's in Qiaosi, on the road to Haining, next to Huari Refrigerator."

The other party said that Zhang Chen was excited and asked the other party, are you the boss himself?

The other party said yes.

"Then let's go over now and meet directly at your factory, okay?" Zhang Chen asked, and the other party said yes, Feixue Leather Factory, next to Huari Refrigerator.

Another leather goods factory? Zhang Chen felt a little strange. What happened to this leather goods factory recently?

Zhang Chen talked to Liu Ligan, and Liu Ligan said yes. This place should be good. Although Qiaosi belongs to Yuhang, he has not left Dahang City yet, so the location should not be far away. It takes 20 minutes from Sanbao Factory. That's it.

Liu Ligan said that when he reached the intersection in front of him, he turned left and turned in the direction of Hanghai Road. You should drive straight along Hanghai Road to that place.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan said, don't take Hanghai Road. There are too many trucks on Hanghai Road. Instead, take Genshan West Road. Let's calculate how long it will take to get there from the East Bus Station.

Liu Ligan said yes.

Genshan West Road is the only way to Xiasha Development Zone. When you drive to the intersection with Hanghai Road, Genshan West Road ends. Opposite is Yingbin Avenue in Xiasha Development Zone. To the right is Qibao, From Sanbao to Sijiqing, go left to Jiubao, Qiaosi and Haining.

After passing Jiubao and driving forward, it was Qiaosi. Before they reached Qiaosi town, they saw the huge factory area of ​​Huari Refrigerator Factory. Zhang Chen looked at his watch and said to Liu Ligan, thirty-two minutes.

Liu Ligan nodded and said, this place is in a good location and close to the company. This is it. I can take it with one knife.

After passing the Huari Refrigerator Factory, I saw the Feixue Leather Factory next door. The door of the factory also looked very impressive. A stainless steel retractable door was tightly closed. There was a middle-aged man in his forties squatting at the door. Smoking at the door of the reception room on the side.

Liu Ligan parked the car at the door, and the man stood up. He was very tall, about 1.80 meters tall. He expected that the person in the car was the one who was talking to him on the phone, so he waved.

Seeing that the retractable door was not open, Liu Lizhan rolled down the car window and asked, "Don't you need to drive in?"

The other party waved his hand and said, "No, just park here. There are no cars coming out."

The two people got out of the car and the other party asked, which boss was I just talking to on the phone?

Zhang Chen said it was me, my surname is Zhang.

"Hello, hello." The other party quickly shook hands with Zhang Chen, "My surname is Ma."

Then he shook hands with Liu Li, and Zhang Chen said from the side: "His surname is Liu."

Boss Ma led them through the small door of the reception room, turned around and closed the door, and then entered the factory area through another small door.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan saw that this place was bigger than their factory in Sanbao. Boss Ma said it had 45 acres.

The houses in the factory area look like they were built only three or four years ago. When entering through the gate, there is an open space with cement poured into it. On the right is a four-story factory building, on the left is a two-story office building, and on the side is a two-story office building. It is also a four-story building.

Boss Ma told them that the first floor is the canteen and the three floors above are the dormitories.

Directly opposite the gate, there was a piece of deserted land behind the open space. Boss Ma told them that a second factory building was originally planned to be built there.

"Boss Zhang, should we look at the workshop first, or the dormitories and office buildings?"

Zhang Chen said let’s look at the workshop first.

Boss Ma agreed and led them towards the workshop.

The entire factory area was empty, with no one around. Zhang Chen asked Boss Ma: "The factory has stopped?"

Boss Ma nodded and said, stop, we can’t drive any further.

"Why?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I was tricked by the Russians!" Boss Ma smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhang Chen's heart trembled. How could this statement be the same as that of the people in Lao Fu's Mennai leather goods factory?
