Chapter 50 Hot Sales

In the past month, Lan Shu has made more than a thousand yuan from selling clothes.

The price of a sewing machine is about 180 yuan. I will buy four of them first, plus Sister-in-law Xie’s, five sewing machines will be enough for the time being.

In addition to setting aside part of the remaining money to purchase clothing fabrics, the rest is also needed to renovate Sister-in-law Xie's small shop.

Shops selling clothes must be clean and tidy, and the walls in the shop need to be repainted.

The rest is just a few custom-made simple hanging hangers, and that's it.

Xie Xiaoju listened to Lan Shu's idea. She thought this was good, but she only cut clothes and did not make clothes. How to calculate the wages?

For this problem, Lan Shu immediately provided a solution.

One is that she cooperates with Sister-in-law Xie, using two spare rooms in Xie Xiaoju's house and the shops on the street, plus Xie Xiaoju makes patterns and cuts of clothes, and leads other sewing workers to work.

From now on, in addition to a fixed monthly salary of 60 yuan, Xie Xiaoju will receive 10% of the shares in the garment factory from Lan Shu.

Another option is that Lan Shu pays for all the expenses alone, including the Xie family's house and the rent of the shops on the street. In addition, she will also give Xie Xiaoju some transfer fees for the shops.

Xie Xiaoju usually works in the factory. In addition to Lan Shu giving her a fixed salary, Xie Xiaoju manages and supervises the work of the sewing workers below. She can draw a certain amount of labor fees in proportion to each piece of clothing produced.

That is to say, as a supervisor, the more clothes her workers produce, the higher her commission will be!

Lan Shu did a little calculation, and Xie Xiaoju would be able to get almost seventy or eighty yuan every month from now on.

As the scale of the garment factory grows, her commission will also increase!

After hearing these two options, Xie Xiaoju almost did not hesitate and immediately chose the second one.

In her opinion, the shares are not important, the money received is the real thing!

Seeing that Sister-in-law Xie was not interested in the shares, Lan Shu did not force herself. She immediately initialed an agreement with Sister-in-law Xie and then put in all her money.

She gave Xie Xiaoju 800 yuan, but she still had to leave the purchase of a sewing machine to someone knowledgeable.

If there is a lot of money left, it will be used as shop rent and Xie's house rent, and will be slowly kept in Xie Xiaoju's hands.

Lan Shu gave Xie Xiaoju twenty yuan for the transfer fee of the store.

Although the money is not much, there is no such thing as a transfer fee in this era. Xie Xiaoju feels that she has simply made money in vain!

For the decoration of the shop, Lan Shu also quickly found workers who could do all the wall painting and carpentry.

After finishing these things, Lan Shu did not immediately buy fabrics for clothes.

The clothing styles she painted before have been on sale for a month and are not new anymore. Although there will still be customers, there won't be many.

Next, she needs to draw a few more new styles of clothes to enrich the types of clothes sold in the store in the future, so that she can make the store unique and sell more clothes!

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaoju bought back a sewing machine. It was originally a 180-piece sewing machine, but Xie Xiaoju was surprised to pay back five yuan less for such a clearly priced product.

The normal price of four sewing machines was 720, but Xie Xiaoju won the last 700.

If the remaining one hundred yuan is used as rent for Xie's family and the store, it will be enough for almost half a year.

Now that we have sewing machines, we need to recruit sewing workers.

Regarding this matter, Xie Xiaoju took charge of it all by herself!

She used to work in a garment factory, but then the garment factory was not very profitable and some temporary workers lost their jobs. Now it is easy for her to find a few people to work for her.

So after Lan Shu thought about the style of clothes and drew the drawings, she immediately purchased the fabrics and officially started work on the small clothing workshop that could not be called a clothing factory at her sister-in-law Xie's house!

…

Over at the paper mill, the sanitary napkins that the factory sent out female employees to give out for free on various streets a few days ago finally came into play after going through a certain cycle!

At first, no one cared about the stock of sanitary napkins that the factory had spread out in supply and marketing cooperatives together with toilet paper.

Until two or three days ago, various supply and marketing cooperatives in Qingyang County called Factory Director Zhu’s office to notify the factory of delivery!

When sanitary napkins were first manufactured, Lan Shu specially named the sanitary napkins produced by their paper mill - 'Yunrou'.

Now, in just a few days, ‘Yunrou’ sanitary napkins have become famous throughout Qingyang County!

At this time, an article with the theme of protecting women and caring for women's health appeared in the Linjiang City newspaper.

One of the articles introduced something that can make women spend their menstrual periods easily - sanitary napkins.

This advertising soft article was written by Lan Shu herself. It has been half a month since she wrote it, and she was just waiting for the right opportunity to release it.

It happened that one of the partners of their toilet paper factory, Zhang Yunjing, worked at the Women's Federation, and every month the Women's Federation would publish some articles about women in the city newspaper.

This time, Lan Shu's soft article cleverly related their products to women's reports, which gave them the opportunity to be reported.

At this time, Factory Director Zhu seized the opportunity and immediately rolled out the sanitary napkins produced in the factory to Linjiang City and surrounding counties and districts——

It was also at this time that Director Zhu realized the reason why little girl Lan Shu had kept the factory working day and night, producing sanitary napkins and stocking up in large quantities.

The workshop of their toilet paper factory is not big, and there is only one machine for producing sanitary napkins. Once the product sells too well, it is easy for supply to exceed demand!

If Lan Shu had not had the foresight before, the sanitary napkins produced in their factory would have been sold out long ago!

In this way, ‘Yunrou’ sanitary napkins quickly gained a foothold in Linjiang City!

And through the operation of the Linjiang City Supply and Marketing Cooperative headquarters, these sanitary napkins will continue to appear in other cities——

…

Lan Shu was temporarily busy with the clothing workshop, so she had time to visit the paper factory.

Seeing that the sanitary napkins that had been crowded not long ago were mostly empty! The first thing Lan Shu did was run to Factory Director Zhu’s office and ask, “How much money do we have in the factory now?”

Director Zhu had nothing to hide from Lan Shu, a shareholder in the factory, and immediately reported the number.

"Why is it only six thousand?" Lan Shu wondered. This was far lower than she expected.

Until she heard Director Zhu add another sentence——

"There are still a few accounts in the surrounding cities of Linjiang City that have not been settled. After the settlement is completed, the amount should reach 10,000."

Ten thousand...

"Not enough." Lan Shu shook her head.

Director Zhu didn't quite understand what Lan Shu was thinking, but he knew that this little girl's ideas could always surprise people, so he immediately asked.

"You need a lot of money?"

"It's not that I need it, it's that our factory needs it. If the factory has money, we will buy the second machine for producing sanitary napkins as soon as possible!"
