Chapter 872 Processing Point
Two-thirds of the processing sites where the contracts were dismissed were converted into privately owned family garment factories, which were disconnected from the village committee, and the village's management costs were gone.
So many garment processing points into the market, although some of them have been disbanded, but most of them have been retained, and the clothing wholesale market near the water is getting larger and larger, mainly for the rural market, mainly for low-grade clothing.
Although Linshui is a large cotton planting area, the textile industry is dominated by chemical fiber fabrics, mainly producing low-grade polyester fabrics. These fabrics are thick and sturdy, and they are relatively wide to wear, which is very suitable for the needs of rural people.
The main thing is that the price is cheap, the wholesale price of one meter thick polyester cloth is four yuan, and the defective one is only three yuan. The finished polyester pants are five yuan a piece, which is cheaper than buying cloth yourself.
These family garment factories are taking the road of small profits but quick turnover. The wholesale price of the pants is four yuan five, and the cost of the fabric, plus the accessories needlework and processing fees, is four yuan and three.
The process is arranged, and the skilled worker can process 20 pairs of pants a day, and the processing fee of one cent and a half can earn a salary of three yuan a day.
The owner of the garment factory earns more, earning two cents per pair of trousers, and ten workers can bring in an income of 40 yuan a day, or more than 1,000 yuan a month.
The average family garment factory has more than 30 people and a monthly income of nearly 4,000 yuan.
Of course, the income is high and the investment is also large, and the family garment factory of 30 people needs at least 10,000 yuan to operate.
Now 10,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, so many family clothing factories have developed from small factories with more than ten people.
These family garment factories, not to mention the brand of clothes processed, do not even have a packaging bag, five pieces in a bundle, tied with strips of cloth cut for clothes, retail not sold, five in batches.
It is relatively simple to make pants, so in the clothing wholesale market near the water, the most people buy pants. There are also those who sell tops, tunics and labor clothes, and the labor clothes are better, and the tunics are really embarrassing.
These small family garment factories have no capital and no way out, and imported ironing equipment cannot be bought. In some villages where there is no electricity, charcoal irons are still used.
The four pockets of the processed tunics are particularly uneven, and the collar is also lying on its stomach. At first glance, it is the style of a tunic suit, but if you look closely, you can't do it.
On the contrary, it is the cadre uniform of the polyester card, which is very good, mainly because the cadre uniform has no inside, the polyester card cloth is also very solid, and the clothes made are also upright.
The thickness of the polyester cloth used to make the tunic is about the same as that of the polyester cardboard, but the sag of the polyester cloth is good, and there is no polyester cardboard crisp.
The quality of the tunic made by the family clothing factory is not up to standard, but the price is cheap, you can buy a set for 25 yuan, and it is the most popular among the village cadres.
At present, most of the state functionaries of party and government organs and public institutions, except for young people, wear Mao suits, and the former cadre uniforms have become the clothing of the peasants.
As village-level leaders, village cadres naturally have to get closer to state workers, and they can buy a genuine Zhongshan suit in a department store, even if it is polyester, for 80 yuan.
Not to mention the village cadres, many state workers and many people also go to the market to buy tunics to wear, after all, the price is cheap. Besides, they are all polyester fabrics, although the workmanship of the clothes is poor, but fortunately, they are strong.
In order to speed up the turnover of funds, these individual family garment factories go to the clothing wholesale market almost every day. The finished garment is wrapped in a sheet, tied to the back rack of the bicycle, and then packed.
When I arrived at the clothing market, I found an open space, spread a plastic sheet underneath, untied the sheets on top, and a temporary stall was formed.
Nearby villagers, each stall charges one dollar as a management fee, and the stall will be yours to use for a day.
When the comrades of the industrial and commercial bureau came, those who rented out the stalls would be notified in advance, the bed sheets would be collected, and they would temporarily go to the master's house to hide for a while, and then come out to set up stalls when the industrial and commercial bureau left.
Due to the cheap clothes here, most of the individual merchants wholesale clothes here, and after a long time, they have their own regular customers.
The wholesale clothing market near the water is getting bigger and bigger, and several nearby streets have basically become temporary stalls.
Farmers near the water often organize groups to go to the clothing wholesale market to buy clothes, and several families unite together, and the wholesale volume of five pieces can easily be enough.
In the winter and spring farming season, they also wholesale clothes to go to the countryside to catch up with the market and sell, now basically all the people, have bicycles, every morning to the market, in the afternoon to the market to replenish, every day to sell ten pieces of eight pieces of clothing, can earn five or six yuan, a month, is more than 100.
The wind comes and goes in the rain, although it is also hard, but it is much better than pulling the feet out of coolies.
The center of the clothing market is mainly based on stores, and the quality of clothing in the stores is relatively better, but the prices are also high, about one-third higher than the wholesale price on the stalls.
Due to the good quality of the clothes in the stores, many state-owned departments, especially the supply and marketing cooperatives at the township level, also wholesale clothes here. After all, compared with state-run garment factories, the clothes here are much cheaper.
Now in the waterfront area, four professional markets have taken shape, namely the professional market for electronic products, the professional market for Apple, the professional market for human hair and the professional market for clothing. Among them, the largest is the spontaneously formed clothing professional market.
The electronics factory in the waterfront area, which began by assembling radios, became famous for producing self-developed cassette recorders, and now sells the best 17-inch black-and-white televisions.
The 17-inch black-and-white televisions, each sold at a price of 680 yuan, were deeply loved by rural people. Now that young people are getting married, one of the rings of the bride price has changed from a radio to a black-and-white television set.
At the gate of Linshui Electronics Factory, dozens of large trucks are parked every day, waiting in line to load goods. The TV set went off the production line, and the warehouse did not enter, and it was directly shipped and loaded.
The sales of cassette recorders are still very hot. It is mainly sold to major cities, and nowadays young people, their enthusiasm for learning English has decreased, and they like to listen to pop music.
The apple market near the water mainly sells red Toyama apples. Good quality and storage resistance, hot sales all over the country, every year after the frost, Hongfushan apples began to pick, procurement personnel from all over the world, have come to the water to buy apples. Until the spring of next year, the apple market was booming.
There are human hair markets in all counties near the water, and the final sales office is Hongcheng Hair Products Factory. The Hongcheng Hair Products Factory, which covers an area of 1,000 acres, has expanded its number of workers from 500 to 1,000 this year, and has begun to produce all kinds of hair sets. All of these products were put in the e-commerce mall of later generations and sold at a high price.
