I went back to 74 and awakened the Godly Rich System

Chapter 84 84. Cost and Price

After Martina and the others finished their explanation, they looked at Du Chuan, waiting for his decision.

Du Chuan didn't rush to answer them, but looked at Li Yuan and asked, "How do you feel?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know, but it feels okay."

There is basically no such thing as style in domestic clothing nowadays, and it is quite simple overall, which is obviously different from these.

So for Li Yuan, he really couldn't judge anything.

Seeing this, Du Chuan stopped asking questions and said to Martina and the others, "Okay, I am very satisfied with this design."

Martina and the others relaxed upon hearing this. It seemed that this mission was successfully completed.

All in all, they spent about twenty days and earned a considerable income.

So they were quite happy at this time.

"Are you going to stay here for a few days or go back directly?" Du Chuan asked.

Martina wanted to go back, but before she could say anything, Williams said directly: "We want to stay and play for a few days, and Su and the others can be our tour guides."

If we were to ask who among the six players in Martina adapted the fastest, it would be Williams.

This guy not only has a good relationship with Su Ming and the other six people, but also has a very good relationship with the two Taoists.

If someone hadn't stopped him, this guy might have become a disciple. In the end, he begged the two Taoists to draw some blessing talismans for him.

Therefore, Williams is extremely interested in China.

Martina thought about it and didn't say anything. Then let's stay for a few more days. There's no rush anyway.

Du Chuan nodded when he heard that. He didn't need to worry about their arrangements anymore, Li Yuan and the others would take care of it.

"Su Ming and the others will come to work in your unit from now on, so you can make use of what they have learned during this period of time." Li Yuan said as they walked.

Du Chuan said casually: "No problem, I have no objection."

They came all the way to the Business Department and entered a small office, which was temporarily for Du Chuan to use.

"By the way, can you help me with another favor?" Du Chuan remembered something.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuan asked.

"Find someone to help me design a trademark based on this blessing talisman. I'm going to apply for a trademark in the United States to avoid being impersonated by others." Du Chuan said.

Li Yuan was stunned. Is Du Chuan so confident?

This is obviously a preparation for the clothes to sell well in the future. If they sell poorly, no one will counterfeit them.

However, this was not a difficult task for him, so he nodded and agreed.

Then Li Yuan asked with anticipation: "When do we start production? When will Walmart come to purchase?"

Du Chuan thought for a moment and said, "How much do these clothes cost?"

Li Yuan knew all this very well, so he said, "The cost of the T-shirt is about 11 yuan, and it's made of good fabrics."

"The cost of the coat is about 42 yuan..." Li Yuan listed all the costs, including labor, raw materials, and some losses.

This cost is normal. Currently on the market, a piece of finished Dacron clothing costs about twelve or thirteen yuan, which is the selling price.

The raw materials of the clothes in Du Chuan's hands are of better quality, so the cost is relatively higher.

Du Chuan thought about it carefully and asked Wade about the current prices of some clothes in the United States.

For example, T-shirts usually cost around ten dollars, and jackets cost between thirty and a hundred dollars.

Of course, these are the prices of ordinary brands. If they are some big brands, the prices will naturally be much higher.

However, the customer group that Du Chuan is targeting is not those who buy big brands.

"If we produce in large quantities, how much can the cost be reduced?" Du Chuan asked.

Li Yuan said: "I have also asked about this. If 10,000 pieces are produced, the cost of T-shirts can be reduced by about one yuan, and the cost of jackets can be reduced by about three yuan."

Du Chuan heard this and said, "In this way, the fabric does not need to be so good. We are not competing for the high-end market. We can reduce the cost of raw materials and strive to reduce the cost of T-shirts to between five and six yuan."

"As for the other styles, it's the same. We're targeting low-end consumers by lowering the cost price."

Li Yuan said hesitantly: "If the cost is so low, then the quality may not be guaranteed."

Du Chuan signaled him not to worry, "People who buy at this price don't care about quality. I plan to set the selling price of the T-shirts between eight and nine dollars, so the price of the T-shirts we wholesale to Walmart supermarkets will be around five to six dollars."

In fact, the bottom line is that some domestic equipment and technology are still lacking, otherwise the cost can be further reduced.

But these can be done later. The current price is one or two dollars lower than the average price of T-shirts in the US market, so it can be said that it has certain price advantages.

Of course, Du Chuan no longer intends to rely solely on price advantages for promotions. What he wants now is a marketing campaign.

If his marketing plan is effective, coupled with a little bit of price advantage, then maybe he can really succeed.

However, Li Yuan was worried about Du Chuan's plan. "Is this really possible? In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. We can sell it at a cost price of 11 yuan, or five or six dollars wholesale."

"As long as we can open up sales channels in the United States and earn a steady stream of foreign exchange, that's fine. We agree on that."

What Li Yuan didn't say was that although on the surface the wholesale price of five or six dollars was indeed lower than the cost price, they were losing money because the current exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the RMB was about 1 to 1.5, but this was the official exchange rate. If it was a private exchange rate, they would actually still make a profit.

Of course, that's not how the account is calculated, so Li Yuan didn't say it, but he wanted to express a similar idea, and the higher-ups also allowed it.

Du Chuan knew Li Yuan's worries, and also knew that this was the current situation. He would rather suffer a slight loss than not earn more foreign exchange. There was no other way because the country's industrial base was too weak and foreign exchange was too scarce. Too much foreign exchange was needed to buy what the country needed.

What Li Yuan said is the method used by most units nowadays. As long as foreign exchange can be earned, everything else can be completely ignored.

Du Chuan could certainly understand Li Yuan's idea, but since he had contracted this unit and bought 70% of the property rights, he naturally did not intend to make a loss.

It is impossible for him to exchange all the US dollars he earned through the black market.

What's more, he has unique conditions. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely agree, but Du Chuan would not do that.

If you have conditions like him and still do business at a loss, you really should stop doing business.
