Chapter 66: A coincidence
"Haha, what Boss Zhao said is too foreign, aren't we also old acquaintances?" Da Zhuang smiled awkwardly, but the problem he was facing now could only make him have to convince Zhao Hongbing.
Zhao Hongbing didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked directly how many such goods he had.
"Fifty-six thousand."
Zhao Hongbing was also silent for a while, because he had worked together, he knew Da Zhuang, and this guy's vision would not run.
Therefore, although he ridiculed Da Zhuang a few words, he did not leave a trace of affection.
"I'm in the company here in Liwan now, you should know the address." Zhao Hongbing said: "You can bring the sample over to me now." ”
"Liwan Avenue? Okay, I'll be there in half an hour. Da Zhuang said loudly.
Half an hour later, Da Zhuang entered Zhao Hongbing's office through the office area on the top floor under the guidance of a front desk employee.
"Boss Zhao, it's really a tide, but now it's more beautiful than before." Da Zhuang saw that Zhao Hongbing was really mixed very well in Yangcheng as rumored, so he nodded even more.
"Sit down, sit down." Zhao Hongbing made a gesture of invitation to Da Zhuang and said.
The front desk staff poured Da Zhuang a glass of water before leaving.
After drinking half a glass of water, Da Zhuang opened a black duffel bag and took out several pairs of slacks.
Available in a variety of colors, these pants are colorful, and they are also considered a good choice in terms of craftsmanship, and they don't look bad in terms of fabrics, and this batch of goods is a good batch.
"Boss Zhao, this is the yardage table of this batch of goods, you can see if there is any problem in terms of yardage." Da Zhuang handed Zhao Hongbing a form.
Zhao Hongbing glanced at it casually, then nodded.
The yardage is indeed suitable for sales in Hong Kong, and after seeing that Zhao Hongbing seems to be interested in this batch of goods, Da Zhuang immediately quoted a price.
Then, after the two bargained over the price for a while, they finally made a deal at the price of 35 yuan each.
"Boss Zhao, can you call someone to come over to receive the goods in the past two days? The address is written at the end of the yardage table. Da Zhuang smiled, obviously, he should have made a lot of money as a middleman in the transaction with Zhao Hongbing just now.
"I'll arrange this matter, and I'll let you know when the time comes." Zhao Hongbing's face was not so tense, after all, this item was not bad.
Buying this batch of slacks at a relatively cheap price of thirty-five yuan, Zhao Hongbing felt that he had earned it. You know, if the same fabric and the same workmanship are used to produce this batch of pants, the manufacturing cost of their factory will definitely exceed 40 yuan per piece.
Da Zhuang seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Boss Zhao, in addition to this batch of processed goods, a friend who does the same business as me, and the batch of processed goods he received on hand is also suitable for taking the Hong Kong route."
He's also in Liwan now, Boss Zhao, why don't I call him over now? The quality of the shipment he had on hand was no worse than the one I had. ”
"Oh, how can it be so coincidental?" Zhao Hongbing tilted his head slightly, looking at Da Zhuang and smiling unclearly.
It's not all because he doesn't look down on Da Zhuang, but it's also because it's really too much of a coincidence, which can be regarded as a cheap pickup.
But pie in the sky is a trap nine times out of ten.
So Zhao Hongbing had to be a little more vigilant, and said: "If the quality of the goods is good and the style is not bad, I can consider the next." ”
"That's great, Boss Zhao, please wait a moment, I'll call my friend now." Da Zhuang laughed again.
He stood up and walked outside the office to make a call. Although he lowered his voice, Zhao Hongbing still heard words such as "a cigarette for eight cents" and "your mouth can say something, Zhao Hongbing is a big boss".
Eight cents a piece Zhao Hongbing estimated that Da Zhuang was the commission of the middleman, and Zhao Hongbing felt that Da Zhuang's fee was quite reasonable.
About thirty minutes later, a man with a long mustache and three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes entered Zhao Hongbing's office with a leather bag in his hand, and Da Zhuang introduced the handler as Lao Peng.
After looking at the samples in Lao Peng's hand, and after a round of bargaining, Zhao Hongbing finally won all the 29,000 pieces of goods on Lao Peng's hand at a price of 38 yuan a piece.
"Boss, my shipment is also in the south of the city. If it is convenient for Boss Zhao, he will also take the trouble to pick up the goods as soon as possible. Old Peng Haha smiled and said, obviously, he was extremely satisfied with the big business he had just done.
"Hey, Lao Peng, did you also find this batch of goods from Chengnan District?" A smile flashed on Da Zhuang's face and said, "Why is it so coincidental?" My batch of goods was also collected in the south of the city. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Zhao Hongbing seemed to notice something, and began to carefully check the samples brought by Boss Peng and Boss Da Zhuang.
"Boss Zhao, what's wrong with these goods? You won't have any problems with these pants, right? Seeing Zhao Hongbing's serious expression, he carefully checked the sample goods he brought, but Da Zhuang's heart jumped to his throat.
He also took these pants to take a closer look, these pants should have no quality problems, right? If these pants really have quality problems, and Boss Zhao cancels this order because of this, then he will be busy in vain.
"Da Zhuang, Lao Peng, do you think the patterns of these two batches of pants are very similar?" After comparing the goods brought by the two of them, Zhao Hongbing had doubts in his heart.
"Of course, these are all goods exported to Hong Kong, and the model or something is fixed, right? So like, it's nothing. Lao Peng said with a big grin.
"Huh?" Just now, Da Zhuang only cared about facilitating the transaction between Zhao Hongbing and Lao Peng, but didn't look at these pants much.
And now, when he looked at these pants carefully, he saw something: "Lao Peng, this batch of yours and this batch of mine are not similar in style, but they are the same product." ”
Zhao Hongbing spread out the dozen pairs of pants, his brows became tighter and tighter, and after staring like this for about two minutes, he raised his head and looked at the two of them: "Da Zhuang, the styles of these two batches of pants may have been designed by the same person." ”
"Boss Zhao, how did you see that?" Da Zhuang casually picked up a pair of spread pants, touched a few lines on it, and asked.
"Feeling." Zhao Hongbing chuckled and said.
Making such a judgment is his accumulated experience in the past few years. There is also an intuition, as for really saying the basis, Zhao Hongbing has no way to provide it for the time being.
"Two, you can call your boss now, and I'll go over tomorrow to receive the goods." Zhao Hongbing said loudly.
Originally, things like receiving goods were generally the responsibility of procurement. But the appearance of this batch of goods really aroused Zhao Hongbing's interest.
The next morning, the sky cleared up, bringing some warmth to the early winter. When Zhao Hongbing drove to the address of Chengnan District provided by Da Zhuang.
From a distance, Zhao Hongbing could see a towering building, and around that building, several trucks were running back and forth. When Zhao Hongbing walked up, a group of workers were loading two trucks.
And right next to the workers, two purchasers, Da Zhuang and Yuris Garment Factory, were standing with a middle-aged man, watching the workers carry the goods.
"Boss, there is no problem with the goods." When they saw Zhao Hongbing getting out of the car and walking towards them, a buyer greeted him and reported to Zhao Hongbing.
Zhao Hongbing nodded and made a call. Da Zhuang, who was greeting Zhao Hongbing, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the newly received text message, and his eyebrows raised lightly: "Boss Zhao, I have received the payment, thank you so much." ”
He turned around and introduced the middle-aged man to Zhao Hongbing: "Boss Zhao, let me introduce you, this one is Zeng Yi, Boss Zeng." Boss Zeng, this is Zhao Hongbing, Boss Zhao. ”
The middle-aged man named Zeng Yi immediately stretched out his short fat hand and shook Zhao Hongbing heavily.
"Hello Boss Zhao, I heard Boss Da Zhuang say, you are also in the Hong Kong goods business, right?" Boss Zeng's voice was faintly warm and intimate. After chatting with Zhao Hongbing for a few words, he said loudly: "Boss Zhao, do you still need a factory to produce Hong Kong goods?"
You have also seen the goods produced in our factory, and our factory has always been very strict in terms of quality management requirements for the goods that leave the factory. ”
Zhao Hongbing laughed and said, "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely cooperate with Boss Zeng." ”
"Okay, okay, that's great." After Boss Zeng finished laughing on his face, he felt that Zhao Hongbing spoke happily, and he didn't engage in literary crepe anymore.
He immediately began to have a painful expression on his face: "Boss Zhao, I won't tell you, this batch of goods has been folded so much." I'm so distressed. ”
Zhao Hongbing didn't think that Boss Zeng wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, he could come out of the other party's face, it was just a simple pain.
So now I can feel his distress, especially the intermediary money I have to pay Da Zhuang a lot.
"Boss Zeng, what's going on with your batch of pants, will they be returned?" Zhao Hongbing asked: "Almost 50,000 pairs of pants, this is not a small amount, your customer should have a reason, right?" ”
Boss Zeng smiled bitterly: "What can we do about this?" Their company is engaged in foreign trade. When they placed an order with me, they signed a contract and asked us to deliver the goods by the end of September this year.
But there are so many of them, and our garment factory is as large as you see.
If it weren't for the fact that they were offering a good price, I wouldn't want to rush them all of a sudden. But although it is a rush, the quality is not a little lower, I dare to pat my chest to guarantee.
However, the numbers of more than 40,000 and almost 50,000 were still a few days late. When it was time for the delivery, they didn't want it again, saying that we were late.
Because we didn't keep our time commitments, we had to pay them back 50% of the deposit. ”
