Lin Fan looked up, slowly closed the ledger in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Cooperation? Are you going to cooperate with us on the fur business?"

If you want to collaborate on their mid-to-low-end clothing, you should come to Lin Fan's shop and find Lin Fan, not Xie Hongye.

So Lin Fan guessed that you must be looking to come and cooperate with those people from the neighboring county on the fur business.

"Yes, I heard that the price they offered was quite high. Your sister-in-law wants to invite you over to discuss whether you can expand your business."

Lin Fan tidied himself up briefly, then followed Lin Zhi out of the store, saying as they walked, "It seems the fur expansion plan is doomed."

"First of all, there's the issue of the quantity of fur. I've already asked Brother Huba, and they're currently unable to provide us with more stable sources of fur."

"Secondly, fur production is entirely handmade, and I can't find anyone I can completely trust, so there's no way to expand in the short term. But since it was my sister-in-law's suggestion, I'll go and take a look."

There are currently no clear legal regulations regarding fur, but obtaining it remains very difficult.

Because there are almost no artificially bred furs on the market, every fur coat Lin Fan sells now represents the death of a relatively rare wild animal.

Therefore, it is difficult to expand the scale.

Lin Fan had long ago said that the fur business was just to accumulate his first pot of gold, and the low-to-mid-end clothing market was the beginning of his business empire.

This is a business that can truly grow big and last a long time. Although it may not be as profitable as fur in the short term, it has a better future in the long run.

After exchanging a few words with Lin Zhi, the two quickly arrived at the tailor shop from the mall.

At that moment, there were indeed three or five strangers gathered inside the tailor shop.

Xie Hongye and her family are chatting with them.

Seeing Lin Fan enter, Xie Hongye's eyes lit up, and she immediately went to greet him.

"Lin Fan, you're here?"

"Let me introduce you. These are the bosses from the next county. This is the owner of Lin's Clothing Store, whom I told you about."

Xie Hongye gave a brief introduction to the group, and after they greeted each other, they were considered acquainted.

The two men and one woman standing in front of Lin Fan were all clothing business owners from the next county.

They all looked to be around the same age, probably in their thirties.

After exchanging greetings, we looked at Lin Fan with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

The female boss among the three couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Mr. Lin is so young, yet he already has such a large business empire?"

"It's true that heroes emerge from among the young. When I was as young as Mr. Lin, I didn't even have the ability to support myself and had to rely on my parents to take care of me."

"Who can argue with that? Otherwise, how could they run such a successful business? They must be really capable."

These people were essentially praising Lin Fan in a roundabout way, saying a lot of nice things about him.

Lin Fan didn't take it to heart and just gave a perfunctory reply.

Then Lin Fan smiled at the three people and asked, "Gentlemen, my sister-in-law told me that you wanted to come and talk business with me. What kind of business do you want to talk about?"

"If it's about the fur business, I can only apologize in advance. This business cannot be done with outsiders at the moment; it can only be handled within our Liangshan County."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the expressions on the faces of the group simultaneously froze.

Just as Lin Fan had guessed, they were there specifically for the fur business; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to the tailor shop.

"Mr. Lin, don't be so absolute. We're all in business. Don't worry, our price will definitely satisfy you."

The female shop owner thought Lin Fan was trying to gauge their attitude beforehand and raise the price, so she immediately expressed her sincerity in return.

The reason the three of them came together this time was because they knew that if they wanted to secure a fur business with Lin Fan, they would definitely have to pay a considerable dowry. He couldn't do it alone, so they chose to cooperate as a group of three.

Therefore, they are not afraid that Lin Fan will ask for a high price. As long as the price is within a reasonable range, they can accept it even if it is a little higher.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, it's not about the money. You should know that my fur coats are very expensive, and of course, the profit margin is also very high, otherwise I wouldn't have attracted you here."

"The reason why my fur business is so successful and popular is because I have very strict control over the quality."

"Not only are they all custom-made by hand, but the quality of the fur must also be good, and the fabrics used must be the best. So far, only my sister-in-law's family can make fur garments that meet the requirements."

"Furthermore, I can't provide more raw materials for fur, so this business can't be expanded much. You should know that I own a factory. If this stuff could be mass-produced, I would have already made a fortune, wouldn't you say?"

Lin Fan's tone remained very polite as he briefly explained the reason to the group.

After listening, he unconsciously nodded in agreement. Lin Fan was right. From this perspective, Lin Fan really shouldn't have cooperated with them.

But as Lin Fan just said, the profit margin for fur is really huge. After deducting labor, raw material and other costs, a regular fur coat can earn about 1,700 to 1,800 yuan.

Customized items can earn between 2,500 and 2,600 yuan.

Such profits would motivate any businessman to take any risk.

So the group still showed no sign of giving up.

The female boss looked at Lin Fan with a hesitant expression and said, "Mr. Lin, can't your fur coats really be mass-produced? Why do you insist on manual labor? The level of machinery nowadays is actually quite high, not much worse than manual labor, and in some ways even better."

“You do own a factory. If we can mass-produce using mechanized methods, we can make a lot of money. As for the quantity of fur, if it's really not enough, we can help you provide it.”

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Gentlemen, for me, handmade represents not only quality, but also a symbol of status."

"In short, the reason why my fur business can sell at such high prices and has such a good market is because of the various gimmicks I create and the strictest quality control."

“I’ve already thought about these ideas you’re talking about. If they were feasible, I would have already started implementing them. After all, who would complain about having too much money? But one shouldn’t be too greedy. One shouldn’t lose the money one has now in order to earn more money.”
