My girlfriend is from 1949

Xiao Zewen frowned and carefully reviewed the documents.

If we were to produce the existing standard military uniforms, that would be a very simple matter.

However, it would be more troublesome to bring out the obsolete Type 87 military uniform.

Moreover, judging from the sample images sent, some minor adjustments have been made.

It is slightly different from the obsolete Type 87 military uniform, and it looks better and more heroic.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Whose order is this? They have quite a few requirements!"

Orders from the military and police also vary in size; small orders may only involve tens of thousands of sets.

Redesigning for this small quantity and going through a whole process is much more complicated than producing the existing standard.

However, the document only listed one supplier: "Red Star Trading Company".

There is no further detailed information available.

However, judging from the company name, it should be an import/export company.

The style of the military uniforms ordered this time is somewhat similar to those of those from Vietnam, Myanmar, and other Southeast Asian countries.

Similar military uniforms have also been adopted in countries further afield in Africa.

Therefore, from the company's perspective, this order is for export purposes.

As for who it was sold to, that remains unknown.

However, as long as it is confirmed that it is exported to a foreign country, that is enough.

Because this relates to quality and production costs.

For these clothing factories, the supplies provided to the military must be of high quality and quantity.

If there are quality issues, it won't be as simple as just affecting sales.

If they investigate and hold someone accountable, they might end up in jail for a few years.

However, if it's sold to the domestic mass market, then the quality and materials used are much more important.

Whether it's clothes or anything else, there's a very mysterious rule.

There are usually no problems during the warranty period.

However, once the warranty period expires, a host of problems arise.

If it is manufactured, it will be sold in the domestic market.

The quality will definitely have to be compromised to some extent, and costs and profits must be strictly controlled.

However, besides military purchases, there is another situation where quality and quantity must be guaranteed.

That's the export.

If the quality doesn't meet the standards, it really will be returned.

Not only will the goods be stuck in our hands, but we'll also have to pay compensation for the delay!

There are quite a few examples of exports being returned abroad.

Moreover, it is unknown whether these returned items were destroyed or re-tested and entered the market.

The most obvious example is the standards for beverages.

Many bloggers have conducted corresponding comparative experiments.

Purchase beverages from the same manufacturer that were produced recently.

One was bought from a domestic supermarket, and the other was exported overseas.

Pour the drinks from both sides into the cup, and you'll see a distinct color.

For example, apple flavor is greenish-blue, while orange flavor is orange-yellow.

At first glance, there seems to be no difference between domestically produced and exported beverages.

Then place the absorbent paper in the container and wait for three minutes.

When the blotting paper was removed from the beverage purchased from a domestic supermarket, the originally brightly colored beverage turned as clear as water.

The blotting paper turned orange-yellow.

Taking a small sip, apart from the lack of color, the taste remained unchanged, still a typical orange flavor.

It is common knowledge that the tongue changes color after drinking colored beverages.

Adding food coloring is legal and compliant.

So everyone got used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and continued to drink it as usual.

However, for the beverages on the other side, the paper did not change color after the blotting paper was removed.

Similarly, the drink in the cup remained its original orange-yellow color.

When the experiment reaches this stage, you'll know what's going on without even tasting it.

It means that the same product manufactured by the same company is subject to two completely different standards.

If anyone questions it, the answer is that foreign exports are more expensive.

To put it bluntly, while Chinese people may not have overflowing wallets these days, they can still afford to buy a can of soda.

Whether or not to buy is one thing, whether or not to give them a choice is another.

It's not just beverages; the same double standard applies to everything else.

It's no wonder that Chinese people scoff at and don't believe in food safety regulations at all.

Therefore, what Xiao Zewen needs to figure out is the buyer of this batch of goods.

Even if you can't know the specific buyer, you still need to know whether it's for domestic sales or export.

This is closely linked to profits, which is very important!

However, we can only find out about this during the bidding process.

Xiao Zewen frowned and turned to the next article.

When I saw that they were purchasing ten million sets at a price of 300 yuan per set, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This is a huge order worth 30 billion!

Ten million units sold already represent 20% of the entire group's annual sales.

The profits the group can earn are at least a small goal in itself!

Furthermore, the invitation letter stated that this was only the first batch.

"Hiss~!"

Xiao Zewen gasped, startled by the huge order, and stood up.

It's worth noting that even the military doesn't make such large-scale purchases.

When replenishing supplies or making partial changes, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of items may be purchased.

The replacement of equipment for the entire army or the large-scale replacement of protective equipment also involves a single announcement of millions of sets, but this is a specific and unconventional operation.

This time, they actually offered ten million sets right off the bat—it was like throwing a bombshell at these clothing groups!

No one could resist the temptation of this cake.

It's just a little troublesome, it's not a problem at all.

If it doesn't have any unique features, how can it showcase the capabilities of Longhua Group?

With such a large order volume, we could even print a dragon on the clothes without any problem!

I glanced at the bottom of the screen and realized I had to bring my sample to the designated location to participate in the bidding by 2 PM the day after tomorrow.

Glug~!

Xiao Zewen swallowed hard, snapping out of his shock.

He glanced at the time on his watch and couldn't wait to give the order.

"Calculate the costs immediately, tomorrow morning... no!

I need to see the samples by midnight tonight!

If you exceed the time limit, three months' bonus and allowance will be deducted!

Also, cancel all your plans for the day after tomorrow and book me a flight to Shanghai!

His voice was filled with urgency and eagerness, his fists clenched, determined to secure this order.

A large order that accounts for 20% of the group's annual output must be seized quickly.

Besides Longhua Group, several other top state-owned garment groups also received bidding invitations.

Everyone was putting in their best effort to secure this order.

Chen Huai'an's decision to place this order was not only a demonstration of his capabilities but also a gift to the country.

Boosting domestic demand and creating jobs are what the country needs most.

……

Meanwhile, in a department store in the Soviet capital in 1950.

Sergei, the clerk on the second floor of the daily chemical products department, was idly standing by the counter.

Behind him were candies imported from the Eastern Brothers, and a cola called "Shushan"!

It is said that this cola, when it came to China, was called the cola of a socialist country!
