Chapter 69: Pointing Clearly
Zhao Hongbing looked at the workers in production outside, and a hint of thought appeared on his face.
"This batch of fabrics on hand was provided to you by that Boss Yang?" Zhao Hongbing's face sank and asked out loud.
"No, I purchased this batch of fabrics from the kilometer cloth market!" Fan Lao said loudly.
"Where did you purchase this batch of cloth?" Hearing Fan Lao's answer, Zhao Hongbing's face sank more and more.
At this time, Zhao Hongbing seemed to be able to determine something.
"Seabird cloth industry, that cloth shop, is called seabird cloth industry." Fan Lao thought for a while and replied.
"Da Zhuang, make a call to Boss Cai and ask him if the batch of fabrics he produced was purchased in the Seabird Cloth Industry!" Zhao Hongbing said loudly.
"Okay." Da Zhuang took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.
And Zhao Hongbing also pressed the phone of a purchaser. Soon, from the purchaser, Zhao Hongbing got the answer he wanted.
"Boss Zhao, you guessed right. Manager Cai's batch of cloth was purchased from the seabird cloth industry. After Da Zhuang hung up the phone, he said in surprise.
"The fabrics that Boss Zeng produced were also purchased from the seabird cloth industry." Zhao Hongbing glanced at the Fan Lao with a complicated look in his eyes, and there was a hint of pity on his face.
Da Zhuang took a deep breath, in the largest cloth market in Yangcheng, there are many cloth wholesalers. But it's too much of a coincidence that these three Hong Kong orders are all purchased from Seabird Fabric?
"This ...... Two bosses, what the hell is going on? Fan Lao watched the change in the expressions of the two of them, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Boss, if I'm not mistaken, you may have been deceived." Zhao Hongbing sighed, slightly unbearable.
"Fooled, deceived?" Fan Lao said hurriedly: "What's going on? ”
Da Zhuang also raised his head, and a look of doubt flashed on his face.
"Da Zhuang, you have been in the second-hand business for several years, have you heard of any 'three-shuttle weaving'? I just talked to Boss Zeng, and he said that the consignee also asked him to use 'three shuttle cloth' to produce this batch of goods.
Later, he and the buyer went to the seabird market for a day, and he came up with the idea of using ordinary cloth instead of 'three-shuttle cloth' to make samples. But it was seen at a glance by the people of Bagu Company, and Bagu Foreign Trade Company required that three shuttle cloth must be used.
The second time he went to the seabird market to buy fabric samples, he finally discovered the seabird cloth industry and saw that there were all kinds of 'three-shuttle cloth' for sale.
Then, after the fabric samples purchased by Seabird Cloth were approved by Bagu Foreign Trade Company, they purchased the 'Three Shuttle Fabrics' to produce this order at a price that was 40% more expensive than ordinary fabrics. ”
"In fact, there is no three-shuttle cloth at all, which so-called three-shuttle cloth is ordinary fabric."
Zhao Hongbing said loudly: "This is simply a scam jointly designed by Bagu Foreign Trade Company and Seabird Cloth Industry. ”
"What, a scam?" Fan Lao's figure froze, and he said, "Big boss, can you make it clearer?" ”
Although Zhao Hongbing was a little unbearable, he still had to tell the truth: "The reason why this is a scam is mainly because this seabird cloth has deceived you of a higher cloth cost.
Whether it is Boss Zeng or Boss Cai, who I have contacted before, the fabrics they get from Seabird are 40% more expensive than the fabrics on the market.
Da Zhuang, you have also seen the goods of those two, their goods are simple in style and less in post-processing. If the quotation of Seabird Cloth is followed, the fabric cost of the whole pants will exceed 80% of the order price.
In fact, because of the price quoted, in 80% of the price, the 'cost' of Seabird Cloth is between 40% and 50% at most, and the 'profit' is as high as double.
Zhao Hongbing said affirmatively: "Even if there is a quality dispute with Boss Cai, Bagu Foreign Trade Company has to pay a deposit of 20%.
With 30 percent of the profits of the seabird cloth industry, and throwing away the 20 percent losses, Bagu Foreign Trade Company and the seabird cloth industry together can still make 10 to 20 percent of the profits, which is a sure profit and no loss.
In short, the profit of Seabird Cloth in the cloth industry is far more than the 20% deposit loss of Bagu Foreign Trade Company!
"Of course, if there is a situation like Boss Zeng who delays delivery for various reasons, and Bagu Foreign Trade Company does not even have to lose the 20% deposit, then the profits earned by the two of them together will reach 30%, or even 35%, respectively."
Da Zhuang's face changed slightly, and soon, he made an estimate of the 1.5 million yuan order from Bagu Trading and Boss Zeng. If what Zhao Hongbing said is true, then Bagu Trade and Seabird Cloth made a profit of almost 500,000 yuan in this order.
In the transaction between Bagu Trade and Boss Cai, even if they lost 20% of the deposit, Bagu Trade and Seabird Cloth still made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan.
"Boss Zhao, what you said really makes sense." Da Zhuang sighed and said slowly.
The combination of Bagu Foreign Trade Company and Seabird really has this possibility. Just now, when he was talking to Boss Cai, Boss Cai mentioned that a very important reason why he was able to find Seabird Cloth Industry was because Seabird Cloth Industry was in a prominent position in front of the stall door, and it was written "There are three shuttle cloths for sale".
"However, they are too immoral to do so, right?" Da Zhuang couldn't speak out.
Taking Boss Cai as an example, although Boss Cai did not return the 20% deposit to Bagu Foreign Trade Company, he still faced a lot of losses because he handled the goods at the processing price.
And like Boss Zeng, he couldn't even get back 20% of the deposit, and when he disposed of this batch of goods, his heart was bleeding because of the heavy losses!
Zhao Hongbing's gaze fell on the goods that were being sewn outside at this time.
"This boss, how much money do you get into these fabrics from the seabird cloth industry?" Zhao Hongbing asked out loud.
Fan Lao's face turned pale, and with a miserable smile, he reported a number.
"So expensive?" Hearing this number, Da Zhuang almost jumped up.
That's a bit outrageous, isn't it?
As an old manufacturer, Zhao Hongbing, who is more familiar with fabric production and production, quickly estimated the profits of Seabird Cloth in this transaction.
Compared with the previous "three shuttles" can earn about three yuan to three and a half yuan for every seven and a half yuan, the cost of this batch of "woven fabrics" is relatively low. The seabird cloth industry can earn four dollars in profit for every seven and a half dollars!
"That's too bad, isn't it?" As an old fritter who has been in the industry for several years, although Da Zhuang can't be as accurate as Zhao Hongbing's estimate, he also vaguely guessed that Seabird got a more amazing profit in this transaction!
Fan Lao's body trembled, his face turned blue in an instant, and his body began to shake.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Hongbing's eyes were quick and he helped the old Fan.
"Hey, I'm here, I'm here...... I also bothered the big boss to help me, my body is useless......" Fan Lao's face turned blue and white, and his brows wrinkled as if he was in great pain.
"Help me, help me to sit in an office chair for a while, I'll be fine." Fan Lao's voice seemed weak.
"Old man, are you still feeling unwell?" Da Zhuang asked with concern, "Do you usually have high blood pressure or anything like that...... Are you going to take medicine? ”
"No need." Fan Lao took a few heavy breaths, and only after his breath was slightly calmed down did he sigh: "Careless, I thought I was really so lucky to receive a big order of 7,000 pieces, but I didn't expect it to be a scam." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Hongbing also shook his head and sighed. Such a scam, don't say that this old man is Cai and Yan, the two big bosses, who accidentally fell for it.
The person who designed this scam is definitely a smart person, but it's a pity that the cleverness was used in the wrong place.
"Boss, these 'woven fabrics', have you almost visited the entire cloth market and found that this kind of fabric is only available in the seabird cloth industry?" Zhao Hongbing couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, two bosses, as you can see, the kind of pattern woven by this kind of fabric is very special. Other cloth shops simply don't have this kind of fabric. ”
"That's right." Zhao Hongbing said: "If I guess correctly, this batch of fabrics is produced for fraud." ”
