Beiguan Village. Grilled Shabu Shop!
Surrounding the steaming copper pot, Li Yi ate the fragrant shabu-shabu slices!
After being hungry for most of the day, he had already put his heart on his back and ate so deliciously.
Opposite him, Jiang Longcheng frowned and had no appetite at all.
Just now, Li Yi and the cotton spinning factory jointly drafted a contract to purchase the backlog of cotton cloth in the factory.
Although the contract has only been drawn up and not signed for the time being, depending on Li Yi's intention, it is actually necessary to spend 500,000 to buy the batch of quality-problematic fabrics from the factory.
"Brother-in-law, that's five hundred thousand. Aren't you worried at all?" Jiang Longcheng said in a confused tone.
Now he really feels that he has tricked Li Yi. This is half a million. If his third uncle knows about this, will he have to break his belt?
"What are you worried about? Do you want to lose money?"
"Yes, if you really lose money, even if your hotel is making a fortune every day, I'm afraid you will have to wait for several years!"
However, Li Yi still said calmly: "Don't worry, we can't compensate!"
"this..."
Before Jiang Longcheng finished speaking, Li Yi put down his chopsticks and said, "Third brother, do you know the price of cotton on the market now?"
"Three cents and a half feet!"
"Yes, and we also need to distribute tickets!"
Then Li Yi continued: "The unit price of this batch of fabrics I purchased from your factory is only about 1.4 cents per foot, and there are no tickets!"
"But...but there is a problem with the quality of this batch of fabrics. No matter how cheap it is, no one will buy it!" Jiang Longcheng frowned.
"No one buys fabrics, but that doesn't mean no one buys ready-made clothes either!" Li Yi said lightly.
"Ready-made clothing, do you plan to make this batch of fabrics into clothes and sell them?" Jiang Longcheng asked in surprise.
"right!"
"No one buys the cloth, so will it be bought when it's made into clothes?" Jiang Longcheng asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Haha, no, I'd like your factory to do more market research. Do you know what the current state of the clothing market is like?"
"This... I'm not sure!"
"I know you don't know either!"
Then Li Yi said again: "Right now, the demand in the clothing market is very high, but there are very few people who can make clothes, and the styles they make are also very old-fashioned. Do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"Business!"
Then Li Yi said again: "As long as my clothes are beautiful in style and affordable in price, I can make money even while lying down!"
"How do you know this?" Jiang Longcheng asked curiously.
"Haha, if you go to the tailor shops in the city more often, you won't ask questions like this!"
"This is a good idea, but making ready-made clothes is not easy!" Jiang Longcheng said.
"What's not easy? I have the raw materials, and you have the labor, real estate, and machines. What do you have to worry about?"
"You hire employees from our factory just because you want them to make clothes for you!"
"Yes, your cotton spinning factory has a workshop for producing work clothes. It has sewing machines and experienced workers. Do you think this can be done?" Li Yida said.
"It's okay for you to use the workshop and workers, but do you have the five hundred thousand payment?" Jiang Longcheng asked again.
"You don't have to worry about money, I can handle it myself!"
"That's half a million, can you really solve it? If not, ask your second brother and ask him to contact a bank for a loan!" Jiang Longcheng said.
"Need not!"
Then Li Yi said again: "I will take care of the money matters myself. You can help me keep an eye on the factory. Especially when we start making clothes, we must strictly control the quality!"
"Don't worry, after getting rid of those moths, the workers in the factory are still willing to listen to what I have to say!"
"Well, if this is done, your factory will almost be revitalized!" Li Yi said.
"You mean to let our factory produce clothes for sale in the future?"
"Let's talk about this later. Do the things in front of you first!"
"OK!"
.......
After sending Jiang Longcheng away, the customers in the store had almost left.
Li Yi immediately called Long Zhanjun, Li Yeqiao and others over!
Since you want to go big, you have to look at how much money you have.
After briefly asking about the business situation in the store these days, Li Yi asked Li Yeqiao: "How much money is there in the account now?"
Li Yeqiao immediately took out an account book, looked at it, and then said: "Not counting today's income, there are more than 30,000 yuan in the store now!"
"Well, take out all this money tomorrow, I will use it!" Li Yi said.
"OK!"
Then Li Yi said again: "Dalong, take care of the store's accounts yourself. From tomorrow on, Brother Li will do other business with me!"
Next, there was the purchase of fabrics, the hiring of workers to make clothes, and the sales to external parties. It was impossible without proper finances.
"good!"
After saying this, Li Yi counted the funds in his hand.
The store has 30,000 yuan, and he has more than 20,000 yuan here. Plus the more than 10,000 yuan in spare funds in the bankbook, the total is only more than 60,000 yuan.
According to the contract, when signing the contract, he had to pay the cotton spinning factory a one-time payment of 200,000 yuan.
In other words, he is still short of 140,000 yuan.
How can we collect all these 140,000 in a short period of time?
Li Yi thought of the batch of dry goods at home!
More than 100,000 kilograms of dried mushrooms can be sold for 170,000 to 80,000 yuan even according to the current market price.
Although if I sell now, there is still a gap between my expectations and I should sell it for tens of thousands less.
But thinking about the profits from making garments, Li Yi decided to sell this batch of dry goods and start work at the cotton spinning factory as soon as possible.
Therefore, Li Yi decided to go to the dry goods market tomorrow morning and talk to Fatty Jin.
Fatty Jin is the guy Li Yi met at the dry goods market last time. His full name is Jin Jishun, and he is one of the few licensed traders in the capital.
Although in the past few decades, the state has severely restricted the individual economy, by the time of reform and opening up, the private economy had disappeared in our country, and the individual economy was also minimal.
But this does not mean that the individual economy has disappeared. For example, in the "Notice on Further Combating Counterrevolutionary Economism and Speculative Activities" issued in 1970, it was clearly stipulated that in addition to state-owned businesses, cooperative businesses and licensed traders, any unit and individuals are not allowed to engage in commercial activities.
It can be seen that even when the situation is the most difficult, there are still some people in the country engaged in business activities.
It's just that these people are all allowed by the state, and they are mainly concentrated in individual handicrafts and small traders who purchase and sell for state-owned stores.
Several generations of the Jin family have been engaged in the business of collecting and selling mountain products and dry goods. Most of the time they supply supplies to supply and marketing cooperatives in the capital, but they also sell them themselves.
Although low-key, he is very powerful.
In his previous life, Li Yi had been engaged in mountain goods business for a period of time after he came out of the cotton spinning factory. He had little dealings with this guy and knew him fairly well.
Fatty Jin is very cunning when doing business. Most people can't really scheme against this guy. Li Yi still admires him for this.
But cunning is a cunning thing, and this guy is trustworthy.
When bargaining, you can use any means, but as long as you sign a contract, you will not go back on your word.
What's more important is that Fatty Jin is powerful. Although he is not very showy, he is one of the most powerful purchasers in the dry goods market in Beijing.
As long as the agreement is reached with him, Li Yi won't have to worry about taking action on the 100,000 kilograms of mushrooms.
But what Li Yi didn't know was that while he was in a hurry for money, Fatty Jin was also worried about shortages!
Just when Li Yi was thinking about talking to Fatty Jin, the other party was already on the way!
PS: It’s useless. I haven’t been out for more than a hundred days in a row. I thought there was nothing wrong with me. Yesterday I was bragging to the editor, saying that I would definitely not fall into the trap. As a result, today... Due to health reasons, I can only update as much as possible. Got it!
