You should know that your boss is the head of a major factory that ranks among the top in the entire Liangshan County. He usually deals with big bosses who are worth millions or even more.
Could this young man in front of me also be of this stature? A high-end client, huh? He doesn't seem like it, considering how young he is.
"So you're here to collaborate. Please wait a moment while I go in and tell the boss."
Regardless, Lin Fan was there to cooperate directly with their boss, and was targeting their boss, not someone a mere gatekeeper like him could afford to offend. So he immediately changed his attitude and jogged inside to report.
Not long after, the gatekeeper invited the two inside, and they met Jin Sheng in the factory manager's office.
This Jin Sheng fit Lin Fan's stereotype of some bosses: short and chubby, wearing a rather shabby suit, with slicked-back hair, a greasy sheen on his face, a shrewish smile, and a gold watch that seemed to be quite valuable on his wrist.
"Gentlemen, are you the ones who want to cooperate with me?"
Jin Sheng immediately stood up to greet the newcomer, but when he saw Lin Fan's appearance, a strange look flashed across his face, which he concealed well.
"You must be Mr. Jin?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am the owner of Lin's Women's Clothing. My name is Lin Fan. You may not have heard of my name, but you must know about our Lin family's fur products."
Jin Sheng laughed heartily, quickly walked up to Lin Fan, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Of course I know your name, Mr. Lin, and I am very familiar with your fur coats, after all, my wife is always nagging me to buy them for her."
Actually, Jin Sheng had never heard of Lin's Women's Clothing before. It was just now, when he heard the surname, that he subconsciously thought of the recently popular high-end fur coats.
He wondered if it really was the Lin family who wanted to cooperate with him, but when he met them in person, it turned out to be them.
Although their business is relatively small, their reputation is still there, so a collaboration is still worthwhile. After all, it's a business partnership, so they're unlikely to lose money; at worst, they'll just earn a little less.
"Mr. Lin, please have a seat. Let's be frank. I never expected you to come to me for cooperation."
“I know about your high-end fur business. I can tell you clearly that it’s impossible to mass-produce products of your quality. If you want to mass-produce them, you have to lower the quality, which is the limit of what our factory can do.”
Jin Sheng instinctively assumed that Lin Fan wanted to increase fur production in order to make more money.
After all, those fur coats are just too expensive. The most high-end custom-made ones cost three thousand yuan each. If they could be mass-produced, he couldn't even imagine how much money he could make.
Unfortunately, those fur coats were all hand-sewn and embroidered stitch by stitch; their garment factories simply didn't have the capability to produce items of that quality.
"Mr. Jin, you've misunderstood. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you, not to have you produce those high-end furs. I have other business opportunities."
“Those furs are my livelihood, and I can’t possibly lower the quality.”
Lin Fan looked at Jin Sheng and smiled as he spoke.
Jin Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "Oh? Boss Lin actually has business to do?"
"Since it's not high-end fur, what kind of collaboration does Mr. Lin want to pursue? I'd like to hear the details."
Lin Fan took out a prepared design drawing from his pocket and placed it in front of Jin Sheng.
"Mr. Jin, this is a low-end garment that we designed on short notice."
"Take a look and see if your factory can make it. The manufacturing requirements are clearly marked on this."
When Jin Sheng looked at the drawings, he found them to be very professional, specifying which materials should be used for which parts and which machines should be used to manufacture which part of the design.
Clearly, the person who designed this drawing was not only a designer who understood clothing design, but also had a very clear understanding of factory production.
"Boss Lin has some capable people working under him."
Jin Sheng first praised it, then stared at the design for a few moments before saying, "This clothing can certainly be made. The requirements aren't high. This style looks quite novel, and I think it will have a large market once it's designed."
"I wonder how much Mr. Lin needs? We can discuss the price!"
Boss Jin tentatively looked at Lin Fan and asked a question.
He naturally had no idea that the so-called capable person he was talking about was actually Lin Fan sitting in front of him.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and then said, "Can Mr. Jin provide me with a thousand of these clothes every month?"
"A thousand pieces?"
Jin Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about five yuan per piece for this quantity, considering the material requirements and size specifications you've listed here?"
Five yuan per piece, a thousand pieces, that's five thousand yuan.
This deal was only a small one for a boss of Jin Sheng's size, but he was willing to be friends with Lin Fan.
A piece of clothing might cost five yuan to produce in a factory, but Lin Fan might sell it for ten yuan or more.
Don't assume that the profit is high. You have to know that if you buy it for five yuan and sell it for ten yuan, you still have to cover labor costs, shop rent and other expenses. In fact, the net profit is only one or two yuan.
In this day and age, ten yuan is actually quite cheap for a piece of clothing, truly living up to its name as a low-end market.
The price was within Lin Fan's acceptable range, and he nodded in agreement without much hesitation, without even trying to bargain.
After all, he knew in his heart that he was the one who benefited from this cooperation, because a factory of this size would not make much money by taking on such a small order, and might even lose money.
The fact that the other party accepted the request was already a favor to him, so there was nothing more to say.
"Okay, it's settled then. One thousand pieces per month. The ones produced each day need to be delivered to me first. I can pay in advance."
"Of course, this thousand pieces are just a trial. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to have a larger cooperation with Mr. Jin."
Lin Fan certainly couldn't wait until he received all one thousand items this month before he started selling them.
A stable supply of goods is necessary every day; whether or not they can be sold is something Lin Fan needs to consider.
A thousand pieces a month means the factory has to send more than thirty pieces to him every day to meet the target, which is a lot of work for Jinsheng.
