Chapter 368: Gentle and Beautiful, Informed, and Loves Rough Officers 42
"Brother Liu, we have to hurry now. I only have a few puppets. The sooner we can finalize the matter, the sooner I can go home and prepare!"
This is the starting point for Song Junhua to officially start doing business, so how can Song Junhua not be anxious?
Lin Yi was also very depressed at this time. The materials in the county town were limited. Lin Yi wanted some brightly colored, soft fabrics. She went to every place she could, but didn't get much.
When they were almost at the gathering place, Song Junchen noticed Song Junhua first and said in confusion.
"Junhua, are they all sold out so quickly?"
Lin Yi, who was originally listless, suddenly looked up and saw Song Junhua walking back and forth in the same place.
Lin Yi took Song Junchen's hand and started jogging. Lin Yi also wanted to know the revenue from her work.
"Junhua, have you sold everything? How was the harvest?"
As soon as she approached Song Junhua, Lin Yi asked anxiously.
"Brother, sister-in-law! You are finally back!"
Looking at Song Junhua's excited expression, Lin Yi felt that the harvest should be good, and the look of disappointment on her face immediately turned into joy.
"Sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Brother Liu Bo. He wants all our dolls and wants to buy more. I was unsure, so I brought Brother Liu to see you!"
This time, Lin Yi noticed Liu Bo next to Song Junhua, smiled and nodded to greet him.
"Comrade Liu Bo, hello!"
When Lin Yi and Song Junchen came over together, the first person Liu Bo noticed was the tall Song Junchen. Liu Bo, who was used to traveling all over the country, immediately felt intimidated by Song Junchen, so when he spoke to Lin Yi, he was not as casual as when he spoke to Song Junhua.
"Hello, comrade!"
Liu Bo, who is good at speaking, was so reserved after saying hello that he didn't know what to say next.
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk!"
Song Junchen also noticed Liu Bo's discomfort and spoke up.
"If you don't mind, please come to my house and have a chat. It's convenient for us to talk!"
Liu Bo's home is in the county town, not far from where they are now.
The three followed Liu Bo for about ten minutes and arrived at Liu Bo's home, a small courtyard with three earthen houses that looked a bit dilapidated.
After entering the house, it was a different world, full of new and interesting gadgets that Liu Bo had tinkered with. The room was also decorated in an avant-garde style, which Lin Yi quite appreciated.
"You guys sit wherever you want!"
After Liu Bo poured hot water for the three of them, he no longer felt awkward and spoke to Lin Yi again.
"Comrade, the puppets you made are very unique. They will definitely sell well in the provincial capital. I'm offering one yuan each to Junhua. I can wait for two days at most. Can you make a hundred?"
On the way here just now, Song Junhua had briefly explained the situation to Lin Yi. Lin Yi was now in a state of helplessness! Without usable fabrics, the things she made were not worth the price Liu Bo offered!
"I can make a hundred in two days, but I'm short of fabric now, so the quality of the ones I make may not be as good as the ones you see now!"
Lin Yi said apologetically.
"Maybe I can help you with the fabric. I have a friend who works in a fabric factory in the county. I can ask him if he has any fabric you need!"
When Liu Bo said this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
"Can you take us there now?"
Lin Yi looked at Liu Bo hopefully and asked.
Liu Bo looked at the time, nodded and said.
"He should still be in the factory now. We can still make it in time if we go there now!"
Before they could even sit down, they set off again without stopping.
It turned out that Liu Bo's friend was the purchasing manager of the fabric factory. This time he really found the right person.
In this era, the best fabric for making dolls, besides cotton, is velvet, after Lin Yi expressed her needs.
Liu Bo's friend said cheerfully.
"You've come to the right place today. Our factory has just purchased a batch of colorful fabrics from the south. I'll take you to have a look!"
Looking at this slightly plump middle-aged man with a smug expression on his face, Lin Yi always felt something was wrong. On the way to the warehouse, Lin Yi asked Tangyuan.
"Tangyuan, is there something fishy about this batch of cloth?"
"Master, you guessed correctly. When Liu Bo's friend went to the south for an inspection, he was the one who bought this batch of cloth. But when he came back, the people here couldn't accept it and thought it was too gaudy. The cloth has been in stock for more than half a year. He is almost worried to death!"
I see. As long as it’s not a quality issue, then it’s fine.
After seeing the fabric, Lin Yi was also worried about Liu Bo's friend's taste! If this bright color was used to make clothes, most people would not be able to accept it.
But for Lin Yi, these fabrics are perfect for use as decorations during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Yi is thinking about more than just dolls now. In provinces and cities, wealthier families all use home appliances, which are treasures of the family.
These red velvet cloths can be made into TV covers, washing machine covers, refrigerator covers, etc. When used during the Chinese New Year, they look festive and are sure to be popular.
But Lin Yi couldn't consume so much cloth at once. This time, she could take advantage of Liu Bo's friend's urgent need to sell the goods and lower the price to the lowest. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to get such a bargain next time.
So Lin Yi set her sights on Liu Bo.
"Comrade Liu Bo, can we talk for a moment?"
Although Liu Bo was confused, he nodded and followed Lin Yi out of the warehouse.
Liu Bo's friend looked at the two people leaving and his face fell. Is he going to fail again this time?
"I want to buy all this fabric at once, but I don't have that much cash. I wonder if Liu Bo is willing to take part in the process. I'll give you 20% of the profits from the finished products!"
Liu Bo admired Lin Yi's courage, but where did this delicate girl in front of him get the confidence that she could make money?
"No, big sister, you have to tell me what you want to do, right? Don't tell me you want to make puppets. I can't sell so many!"
Lin Yi was embarrassed by the question and forgot about it in her excitement. So Lin Yi roughly told Liu Bo about her idea. The more Liu Bo listened, the more he looked at Lin Yi with admiration.
"It's only a few days until the Chinese New Year. You can't make much by hand!"
Liu Bo's mind was still clear. He agreed with what Lin Yi said, but he also had to consider these practical issues.
"On the way to the warehouse just now, I noticed that your friend's factory has some unused sewing machines. What do you think if we ask them to do the processing for us?"
Liu Bo gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, and the two smiled knowingly and returned to the warehouse again.
