Ch 182: Walking is Difficult
Shen Ming didn’t know that Lai Wang had already exhausted his savings, and even took out his salary to subsidize the “Clothing” Dyeing Workshop.
The originally willful dyeing workshop has now been renamed “Clothing” Dyeing Workshop. The “Clothing” store currently has a clothing store and a dyeing workshop, and is only missing a clothing factory. If there is a clothing factory, the Clothing store can produce and sell its own products, forming a good manufacturing production chain.
However, there is no capital to invest!
The incident of allergies caused by inferior clothes has passed, and the phenomenon of explosive sales in the Clothing Clothing Store is gone forever.
Currently, after deducting rent, designer and shop assistant expenses from the money earned by the Clothing Clothing Store, there is very little left. For this reason, Xiang Yueqin also proposed that Lai Wang’s salary be temporarily suspended.
Xiang Yueqin’s words sounded very nice. Lai Wang is capable, and the salary given cannot be low. It must be twice that of the designer! However, the clothing store cannot afford this money now, so it will be recorded first. When the clothing store makes money, it will never treat Lai Wang badly!
So, Xiang Yueqin collects the surplus money from the clothing store every month, saying that it is saved for the preparation of opening a clothing factory.
What about the Clothing Dyeing Workshop? The orders received are not enough to cover the expenses. Lai Wang has to take out half of his salary from the Xiang Group every month to subsidize the expenses of the dyeing workshop.
Does Xiang Yueqin know this?
Yes! However, she said that the dyeing workshop has been reorganized and reopened, so how can it make money at the beginning? It takes a process. Therefore, Manager Lai has to work hard!
Lai Wang gritted his teeth and took on this burden.
So, Lai Wang finishes his work at the Xiang Group during the day, and also makes appointments with the Boss of the clothing factory at night or on weekends to discuss cooperation and attract business for the dyeing workshop.
Lai Wang spends money and effort, and is so busy that he is exhausted. However, his personal quality of life has declined severely, and walking is difficult.
This evening, Lai Wang made an appointment with a Boss of a clothing factory to discuss contract matters at the Tea House. The Boss of the Tea House greeted Lai Wang with a smile as soon as he saw him. Although the consumption in the Tea House is low, there are customers who come to take care of the business every now and then, so naturally they are God.
Lai Wang can only make appointments with people to the Tea House, and restaurants are impossible. The consumption in the Tea House is low, and he can last for a while.
Lai Wang made an appointment with the Boss of a small clothing factory named Wei Liang. This clothing factory is small in scale, and has not been built for a long time, and has just started. Lai Wang is confident that he can persuade him to win this business for the dyeing workshop.
Currently, the Clothing Dyeing Workshop only supplies fabrics to another clothing factory. There is production volume, but sales cannot go up, and it is in a state of supply exceeding demand.
Moreover, the clothing factory that supplies is also the Clothing Clothing Store’s designated clothing factory. Therefore, that clothing factory will purchase and use the fabrics of the Clothing Dyeing Workshop.
However, the scale of that clothing factory is extremely small, and the amount of fabric purchased is not much. The sales of the Clothing Clothing Store are not high, and it cannot provide more orders to the clothing factory. In this way, the Clothing Dyeing Workshop is still losing money.
Therefore, Lai Wang is anxious to find a clothing factory to find more customers for the dyeing workshop.
Wei Liang is the object that Lai Wang wants to conquer.
After exchanging greetings, Lai Wang went straight to the topic.
“Manager Lai, it’s really unfortunate. Our clothing factory has already signed a dyeing workshop, and it’s a long-term contract.” Wei Liang shook his head and told the truth.
Wei Liang runs a small clothing factory, and one dyeing workshop is enough to supply fabrics, and there is no need to sign another dyeing workshop. Why sign a long-term contract? Because there are discounts for signing a long-term contract. Small factories don’t make much money, and they rely on saving money.
Unexpectedly, Lai Wang was unwilling. After taking a sip of tea, he said casually: “It’s not difficult to breach the contract. The breach of contract fee is not much.”
“This… is not very good, is it?” Wei Liang was embarrassed.
Although Wei Liang is the Boss for the first time, he also knows that doing business requires integrity. If you say you will breach the contract, you will breach the contract. Where is the integrity?
Furthermore, although he has not calculated how much the breach of contract fee is, it should not be a small amount. Is Lai Wang paying this breach of contract fee?
No! Let Lai Wang pay the breach of contract fee? Absolutely impossible!
Lai Wang said that he is the Deputy Manager of the Xiang Group, and there are many people who want to cooperate with him. It is Wei Liang’s luck to be favored by Lai Wang.
โโโ
Lai Wang is so sincere, why is Wei Liang unwilling to pay even a little bit of the breach of contract fee?
Wei Liang frowned.
He really can’t bear to! Is it easy to make money? Not easy! It’s too difficult! As the Boss of a small factory, you have to do everything yourself, and you wish there were 48 hours in a day.
How can the hard-earned money be wasted? The breach of contract fee is originally not required to be paid, so why should he pay it? He is not a fool.
The Xiang Group is very famous. However, the Xiang Group has nothing to do with him no matter how famous it is. He runs a clothing factory, and the Xiang Group is in the bicycle business, so they have nothing to do with each other.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lai Wang is the Deputy Manager of the Xiang Group, Wei Liang would not have come to the appointment. Who cares about going out for a cup of tea? Isn’t it better to drink at home?
Lai Wang really only ordered a pot of tea, not even snacks.
Where does Lai Wang’s sense of superiority come from?
Wei Liang clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart. Fortunately, he is no longer the Wei Liang he used to be. Since doing business, he has learned to be kind to others and his temper has also restrained a lot. The former Wei Liang was a hot-tempered person.
If it were in the past, would anyone dare to speak so arrogantly in front of him? That would be like asking for a beating!
Fortunately, Wei Liang has reformed, and has not beaten anyone for a long time.
“Manager Lai, I’m sorry, my clothing factory is too small, and there is no opportunity to cooperate with you.” Wei Liang still politely refused.
Lai Wang’s face immediately darkened.
This is the second time Lai Wang has been rejected. Before Wei Liang, another small clothing factory also rejected him. The reason was also that they had signed a long-term contract.
In the Provincial Capital, there is only one large clothing factory, and only three or five small ones.
Large clothing factories look down on small factories like the Clothing Dyeing Workshop and will not cooperate with Lai Wang. Small clothing factories have also signed contracts. Where else can Lai Wang go to find them?
Seeing Lai Wang’s face darken again and again, Wei Liang felt very puzzled. Could it be that Lai Wang can’t even negotiate a business with a clothing factory? Is that why he looks so worried?
Businessmen understand businessmen best. Wei Liang’s sympathy arose, and he kindly reminded him: “Manager Lai, you can talk to Boss Du of ‘Pin Shang’ Clothing Factory.”
As soon as he heard the words “Pin Shang”, Lai Wang’s nerves tightened. He shouted: “What?”
Wei Liang thought that Lai Wang had not heard clearly, so he explained in detail.
“Pin Shang Clothing Store, have you heard of it? They have several branches, and each branch has excellent business.”
“Their own dyeing workshop and clothing factory are in short supply. Sometimes, my small clothing factory can also receive their business.” Speaking of this, Wei Liang’s face was full of pride. In his opinion, being able to receive orders from Pin Shang is a very proud thing.
