Chapter 533: Big Order
In the following month, Grandma and Youyou took David to visit the nearby villages, not only recording the whole process of weaving, but also rummaging through the bottom of many people's boxes, and all kinds of collections were purchased by David as a treasure.
David collects cheesecloth mainly in flower cloth, he likes all kinds of coarse cloth, a hook coarse cloth ten yuan, he brought back from the water coarse cloth is this price.
According to Hao Hao, this price was set with the help of the comrades of the Linshui Commission, and the price given by David was originally 100 yuan.
Yoyo secretly complained about David's profiteers, and it was not enough to take advantage. I could see the happy expressions of the women selling cloth, calculate the cost, and suddenly know in my heart.
Two catties of good cotton are used for a hook cloth, and the maximum cost of good cotton is two cents a piece, plus dyes and pulp, and the cost is up to three yuan. The price of ten yuan, the profit is seven yuan.
A hook of cloth spinning thread is up to four days, one day for fast weaving, and two days for slow weaving.
Winding dyeing and sizing and other preparatory work, one machine cloth is enough for ten days, and one hook cloth is less than a day.
In the end, a hook cloth is four days at the fastest and seven days at the slowest. The profit of seven yuan, at least one yuan a day, is nearly half higher than that of making shoes and insoles. I work fast, six or seven a day, which can catch up with the wages of the staff.
A hook flower coarse cloth can be made into a bed quilt or sheets, now the thick twill cotton cloth in the supply and marketing cooperatives, 0.48 yuan a foot, a foot of cloth ticket 0.20 yuan, a bed quilt 14 feet, a total of 9.52 yuan.
Thick twill cloth is much stronger than cheesecloth, and it will not be covered for ten years, and coarse cloth can be used for up to five years. And the coarse cloth woven by yourself is easy to fade, wash it once and wash it once, and the color will be messy after washing it twice, and the twill will not have this problem.
You can exchange a bed of cheesecloth for a bed of sturdy thick twill, and you can still have five cents left. Ever since David began to buy coarse cloth, everywhere he went, the women turned out the coarse cloth at the bottom of their own boxes and asked him if he could buy it.
Due to the disadvantage of the fading of the coarse cloth, David only needs to be the same for each suit. However, he promised everyone that he would hold a Chinese brocade exhibition when he returned to China, and all the orders were handed over to Zhenyu Company, but the dye had to be provided by him, and the price might be twice as high as that used by everyone now.
Now weaving a hook cloth, at most five cents of dye, twice as high as a piece of five, equivalent to the cost of a hook cloth more than a dollar, compared with the profit of seven yuan, is still acceptable.
In private, everyone asked Grandma Youyou: "Your foreign devil aunt, when will you return to China, where are they so far away from us, and how many days will it take to go back?" I'm afraid it won't work this year, right?"
Under everyone's expectation, David returned to China with Wu Xin'er at the end of February of the lunar calendar, and the itinerary was fast, and it took two days to arrive by plane. But the order has to wait, and this spring is definitely too late. However, he brought hope and hope to everyone.
As if they had made a discussion, the women of each village put down the cloth they were going to weave, wrapped the threaded crutches and put them in boxes, and first knitted the white coarse cloth for cloth bags.
Women don't weave, but there are many custom-made looms. In fact, there are not a few looms in rural areas, and each family has one, but there is still a gap between them and each family.
The old carpenter master in the countryside will make a loom, but it is more time-consuming, and it takes ten days and a half to make one. Each family brings their own timber, and the salary of twenty or thirty yuan is not small, but everyone is willing to pay for it in order to make money.
Besides, the loom is also a big piece of furniture, which is inseparable from each family, and it is convenient to use it at home.
Women from nearby villages came to the outlet to buy things, and saw that their grandmother first talked about their own loom. Then ask your relatives in foreign countries when they want me to knit.
David is gone, and grandma has a lot of worries. When I heard that someone came to talk about her loom, I was even more disturbed.
"If David doesn't have an order, won't he trap the people in the village, everyone has spent such a large amount of money, just waiting to earn money from foreigners. ”
"David likes our coarse cloth, and foreigners can all be like him, and use the money to buy cotton cloth to buy coarse cloth, foreigners can't all be fools. ”
Youyou knew in his heart: "Grandma, we don't know if foreigners are stupid or not, you always forget, my mall is full of fools." How much David wants, let's not point to him.
We received tens of millions of pairs of insoles, and David sold less than one million, not all by the mall.
Our cheesecloth is a high-end product in the mall, and the price is much higher than David's. But David can exchange foreign exchange back, but my mall can't do it. ”
Grandma was finally relieved, and she said happily: "Just thinking about David, why did grandma forget your mall." I've got to go in and see what kind of high-end cheesecloth you want from your people.
Listening to Haohao, David will give 100 yuan with a stupid hook cloth, and you can bid higher than him in the mall. ”
When grandma saw that the brocade sheets in the mall cost thousands of yuan, baby clothes cost hundreds of yuan, and the one-meter-square small quilt was sold for more than 500.
The price of brocade handicrafts is even more outrageous, tapestry tens of thousands of yuan, even the price of a simple pipa buckle is more than 100.
After reading it, the old man said: "You are really stupid in there, David is much better than them." Who are those people, they can't be immortals who live in the sky, right? Seeing that our people are suffering, they have brought us benefits through the mall. ”
Youyou was about to kneel, and grandma was able to make up for the immortals. In other words, you always say that immortals are fools, is there a lack of respect.
It's okay, with the gods as a guise, it will be more convenient to do things by yourself in the future, in people's consciousness, the gods are omnipotent, and it is normal to do things out of the ordinary.
Grandma, the old man has a bottom in her heart, and her thoughts have changed: "David's order is here, let's start collecting coarse cloth." We have to go to Linshui and call David and ask him to send more dye. Not to mention selling, even if you use it yourself, it is good not to fade. ”
Zhenyu Company near the water, due to the brand of the joint venture, the international telephone has finally been opened.
Yoyo reminded grandma: "Grandma, the dyes in the mall are better than those abroad, and the price is lower, so you don't need to look for David at all." When the dye he sent arrives, we can sell it, as much as we want. ”
Grandma smiled very happily: "It seems that grandma is really old, why did you forget your mall again." If the coarse cloth does not fade, it is actually quite beautiful.
Later, we collected the coarse cloth at home, and grandma also compared the appearance in the mall, made a few sets of bedding, and kept them for home use. ”
Yes, the old lady is quite receptive. It seems that I have been looking forward to it since I wore it, and the four-piece set made of pure handmade cotton cloth will soon be realized.
From the fifteenth day of the first month to the end of February, for a month and a half, you followed David and devoted herself to the weaving of recorded cheesecloth. David had no editing equipment, so he could only play back the tapes at night to get creative.
