Chapter 203: Indigo Dye
"Ah!" Duan Zhengxing was caught off guard by the question, "Backlog, backlogged inventory, right?" β
Fan Yang glanced at Duan Zhengxing, and he was a little bit beating.
After all, he just followed himself, and he didn't know what he was capable of.
Pretending to be abrupt, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to forget, you haven't made a costume, have you?"
Duan Zhengxing's old face turned red, "Yes, I haven't done it." β
"Don't blame you, Lianyungang's clothing is not a climate, if you go to Guangzhou and Hangzhou, you will understand, then what is tail goods? In fact, Lao Duan is right, is the backlog of inventory, but these inventories in most cases are not unsellable backlog, is a deliberate backlog, our domestic clothing brand started late, but the foundation is very good, 72 years and after the establishment of diplomatic relations, the labor cost of the book is high, the oil production is insufficient, relying on imports, the industrial chain has no advantage, the chemical fiber industry has carried out a large number of transfers to our country, in China manufacturing nylon, acrylic, polyester, technology has been learned, now our chemical fiber production capacity is still very strong. β
Duan Zhengxing was embarrassed to say a sycophant, "Mr. Fan said it well." β
The two girls burst out laughing.
"Don't laugh, people say that wool comes from sheep, is it true? Not necessarily, the wool used to be spun from wool, but now? I said this sweater you are wearing......"
Fan Yangti carried a goose-yellow sweater worn by Duan Zhengxing, "I want to say that it is refined from petroleum, do you believe it?"
"Oil?" Duan Zhengxing said in amazement.
"Yes, it is oil, this is the product of the petrochemical industry, the remaining things after the oil extraction of fuel oil, ethylene, propylene, polymeric acrylonitrile, are all chemical products, belonging to a part of the petroleum industry chain, the remaining chemical materials of these oil refining, processed into chemical fibers, polyester is known as artificial silk, acrylic is known as artificial wool, this is the acrylic sweater, the appearance can be almost messy, the dyeing performance is good, but the warmth effect and air permeability are poor, after all, it is a chemical product, the cost of a sweater, even less than 1/10 of authentic woolγ β
Duan Zhengxing said embarrassedly, "No wonder, I mean it's not warm to wear, it's cheap, Mr. Fan knows a lot." β
But he still looks old and not ashamed.
"So now sweaters, and woolen sweaters, are essentially two products, one is pure natural and the other is pure chemical, and acrylic has another property, he can be mixed with various raw materials for weaving. β
This unique fabric is made of acrylic and polyester blends, the proportion is 60 percent of 40, so the processed fabric, both durable, and bright color, the surface also has acrylic characteristics of staple fiber, the surface looks like a layer of fine velvet, used to process into a coat is just right, it is not close, establish a separate lining as a warm layer, men's coats are also used in many tweeds, insiders a calculation, know your true cost. β
"And you look at the woolen sweater, why do I say it's chemical fiber? Because the compatibility of acrylic is very good, it can be pure spinning, and it can also be mixed with wool to spin, people who don't know how to do it, as soon as they get their hands on it, they think it's real wool, but it has one of the most fatal shortcomings, acrylic and wool blending, the proportion, can not exceed 18, once the acrylic fiber exceeds 18, it will clump and pill. β
Speaking of which, everyone understands that this is the case.
Fan Yang's voice was a little louder, and several passers-by next to him began to pay attention to the sound.
"And most of the fake and inferior woolen sweaters on the market will pill this reason, because the more acrylic is added, the cost will be reduced. β
"I see. Wenwen said, "Is that kind of wool yarn a blend of acrylic and wool?"
"Yes. Fan Yang continued. The garment industry is very deep, the threshold is low, based on the premise of modern chemical technology, in fact, the cost of a garment is very low, especially summer clothes, the material is not expensive by hand, you can now buy a dress of dozens of dollars, pants, has been through layers of price increases, is the biggest profiteering industry, and Guangzhou and Hangzhou those places, independent brands are still very poor, most manufacturers are processing, Europe, the United States, these developed countries many big brands, shoes, clothes, pants, are our country OEM, not in China, there is no factory, you say that you are a big brand others do not believe, some are processingSome don't even provide materials, so the international foundry will give you a layout, indicating what materials you want, and you can help do it. β
"However, these manufacturers have no sales ability, and there is no sales qualification, such as sportswear, in Hangzhou is the most, what adidas, Nike, PUA, waka, these large factories will generally provide excess materials, a batch of 10,000 pieces of clothing orders, manufacturers will try their best to use up these materials, it is very likely to produce 12,000 pieces, which is very necessary, because after the quality inspection, it is very likely that there will be a part of the unqualified defective products, others do not accept, the remaining 2,000 pieces, this is the first kind of tail goods, the original factory orderγ β
"There is another kind, that is, the manufacturer imitates other people's styles and replaces the original materials, the original PY, which is called the original copy. β
"The original factory order is also called the original factory, and after the defective product is modified, it is exactly the same as the original factory. β
"These are foreign trade tail goods, and no matter how these foreign trade tail goods are manufactured, his foundry home, is not qualified to sell, and there is no sales channel, so he will be used as a clothing tail goods, provided to specialized tail goods clothing merchants, this foreign trade tail goods profit is the highest, the quality is also very good, comparable to the genuine product, but the channel is very rare, like that batch of wool yarn, garbage, at a glance is exported to Southeast Asia of the original factory py, the style is really good, other people big brand designers to make the style, can you have a concept with your country tailor, he is the channel is right, first-hand supply, this wool yarn will not exceed 10 yuan a piece, or even lower, on the pound is also a common thing, it is more than three times the windfall profit when it is transported, and you say that if you don't make money, it's over. β
After listening to Fan Yang, Duan Zhengxing was completely convinced, "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Fan, you are really powerful, these doors are clear, are we going to switch to clothing trade in the future?"
Fan Yang shook his head: "Now is not the time. β
But soon.
Now in 93, when exactly did Fan Yang forget, it should be in 94 or 95, after the Astras Laboratory in the United States developed a chemically synthesized indigo dye, it was the time for Fan Yang to plan to enter the market.
Indigo dye is a traditional natural pigment, and its traditional extraction method is generally plant extraction, which is extracted by fermentation of plants such as bluegrass and indigo root, and the cost is high.
It is the right time to enter the market when someone in the United States invents the chemical synthesis of indigo dye, sulfonates it with concentrated sulfuric acid, dilutes it, neutralizes it with sodium carbonate, and then salts it out to get the synthetic dye and knock down the price.
Indigo dye + denim = jeans.
