Ordinary countryside reborn

There are many garment factories near the largest cloth wholesale market in G city. There are almost more than a thousand large and small factories in total. The factories here are basically set up in factories built by villagers in the city.

Life in urban villages is always lively and bustling, with low-priced rentals, a dazzling array of daily necessities, and delicious snacks.

The main street is the widest avenue in the village, with houses densely packed on both sides of the street.

There are many old people and some young people, but most of them are outsiders renting houses here. In addition to psoriasis and rental advertisements, there are also many factory transfer advertisements posted on the exterior walls of the rental houses. Under the low eaves, clothes are floating everywhere.

Every day, many people look for work around here and work as temporary clothing workers. They will discuss the settlement method with the garment manufacturer. Temporary workers can be paid daily or monthly, and most of them are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were many people looking for customers sitting on the steps on both sides of the street. The types of clothes the factory could produce were written on a small blackboard.

Hu Jinsheng was wearing flip-flops and sitting among a group of colleagues, fanning himself with pieces of cardboard from time to time. He came over right after lunch and stayed for almost an afternoon without getting a single order.

The clothing industry has low capital and technical requirements, which has resulted in a large number of people joining the industry. As a result, the current factory performance is not good. Orders are getting smaller and smaller, profits are getting lower and lower, and it is becoming more and more difficult to hire workers.

Looking at his colleagues on the street and a few customers inquiring about prices, Hu Jinsheng sighed helplessly.

There are too many monks and too little gruel. I am afraid that today will be another day of work in vain.

Hu Jinsheng looked boredly at the few people walking back and forth in the middle of the street. When they saw someone who met the requirements, they would directly go up and ask. The two parties were going back and forth in communication. Some directly followed the people from the manufacturer, while others shook their heads and went to find the next one. One family.

Two women came diagonally across to ask for quotations. They were a bit far away. Hu Jinsheng didn't hear clearly. He only saw the man from the manufacturer making a gesture. The woman wearing the hat thought about it and walked away.

The two were about to come this way when Hu Jinsheng looked over expectantly.

The factory diagonally opposite makes the same thing as his factory. Since I asked there, I will definitely come to him. The ones next to him are making leather jackets, jeans and down jackets, which are different from the clothes produced by their factory. This is He went out of his way to find a good location.

"Oh, don't leave. Let's discuss the price later..."

Everyone around heard this loud and pleading voice.

Hu Jinsheng rolled his eyes toward the sky.

The two women were pulled back again. The two sides were probably bargaining. He only saw the man from the manufacturer making a few unwilling gestures. Finally, the woman wearing the hat shook her head and left.

It seems a bit difficult to do.

Hu Jinsheng didn't hold out much hope anymore. When the two of them came to him and looked at the small blackboard, his focus was on their faces.

He didn't expect it to be two women so young.

The taller one looks more mature, but he is probably not too old, probably in his early twenties at most. The shorter one was wearing a hat and sunglasses. Only his chin and mouth could be seen from his entire face. It was hard to see, but he should be about the same size.

"Hello there!"

Hearing the sound, Hu Jinsheng reacted and stood up quickly, "Hello, what kind of clothes do you want?"

In the past, most of the bosses who came here to find manufacturers were rough men. Of course, there were occasionally women, but there were never such young and fashionable ones. Hu Jinsheng unconsciously pulled at the hem of his clothes, trying to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes. "We are going to make some T-shirts. We need to make samples first. The fabric is made of cotton. Here is the design draft. You can see what the price is."

Tianyuan handed over the drawings. There were three styles, divided into men's and women's models, with different colors and prints.

Hu Jinsheng took a look at the drawings, frowned and asked: "Are you going to make all of these? What are the quality requirements? How much quantity will you make in the future? If the quantity is large, the sample fee can be waived."

Many factories can make such simple clothes, but some factories are too lazy to take such orders unless the quantity is large and stable.

Tianyuan shook his head: "For the time being, we will make three white women's models. The quality must not be bad. After the prototype is confirmed, we will make 500 pieces each."

A total of 1,500 pieces...

Hu Jinsheng thought about it for a while, and then roughly quoted a price.

"The sample fee is 100 yuan, and the batch size is 10 yuan. If the quantity is large, it can be a little less."

Liu Meixiang, who was standing nearby, leaned into Tianyuan's ear and said in her native dialect: "Is this price okay? I've been asking for a long time, but other manufacturers are asking random prices. I'm afraid they are bullying us because we don't understand."

Hu Jinsheng didn't understand what she said, but his offer was already relatively reasonable, and he was still confident that he could win this order. Although it is not impossible to make the work even lower, the factory still has to make money. If it is too low, the boss will not agree.

Tian Yuan glanced at Liu Meixiang, turned to Hu Jinsheng and said, "Okay, is the factory nearby?"

"Yes, it's just a little ahead. I'll take you over to have a look." Hu Jinsheng picked up the small blackboard and walked to the front to lead the way.

I guess that’s it for today, there won’t be any more orders.

This is an order he got after squatting here for several days. Although it is just a prototype now, as long as it is done well, the subsequent orders will be stable.

The name of the factory is Xingwang Garment Factory. It is on the first floor along the street. Dozens of young people are crowded inside operating textile machinery. There is a buzzing sound. Tianyuan took a look and found that most of the female workers were immersed in their work, while the male workers There seemed to be only five or six people.

Hu Jinsheng introduced as he walked, Tian Yuan nodded and asked questions from time to time. She has seen many garment factories, because that's what Li Mei does. After going to college, she would go to Li Mei's place of work during the winter and summer vacations to help with the cooking. There were many garment factories nearby, and she also worked there during the summer vacation.

But she was not in this field after all, so she didn't understand many of the processes, and Liu Meixiang didn't understand them even more. She straightened her back and followed the two of them, seeming to understand everything.

It was already six o'clock when the two left the village in the city.

She spent a few dollars to take a motorcycle to a nearby subway station. When she got off the bus, Liu Meixiang felt that her feet might have been scratched, so she took a piece of paper to pad them in.

"Oh, the new shoes are nice to look at, but they are too painful for my feet. I only walked for a few hours today and my feet hurt. If I had worn my own pair of worn-out shoes, I could have walked all day."

Tianyuan took off his hat and sunglasses and said with a smile: "You have worked hard today. Considering your injured heel, go out to eat something delicious tonight."

"Really?" Liu Meixiang suddenly became happy. She swallowed unconsciously, "Then let's go eat grilled fish. It's on the street opposite the vegetable market. I've been there before to buy food. That shop There are a lot of people every time, so it must be delicious.”
