392 Contract processing
Although the planting of this piece is vigorous, it is not urgent.
There is a shortage of food in many places.
As soon as the brigade commander left, Gao Jianwu was trying to find a way to get a batch of emergency food.
Of course, he knew where to find large quantities of grain, but unfortunately, he didn't have that much money in his hands, especially the hard currency of the ocean or the American knife.
Now the industry in Gao Jianwu's hands seems to have made great improvements, and at the same time, industrial products such as agricultural vehicles have also begun to be exported, but the scale is not too much, and the scale of tens of thousands of vehicles does not play too much.
What's more, there are a lot of things that need to be imported now, and the import of raw materials from Nanyang and the import of electronic components and machinery and equipment from the West all require hard currency. Now Gao Jianwu can barely balance. But if you want to import grain in large quantities, you won't have that much money.
Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu is also a big head.
Many of his industrial product development plans are now in the early stage of R&D and experimental production, and large-scale exports are not only not available in brands and channels, but also in terms of their own production capacity
Now it is not the industrial kingdom of the original time and space, the fastest growing military industry is now for its own use, and it is impossible to export it for money, and the rest of the industrial products, except for the rapid development of automobiles, are also advantageous in other aspects, that is, penicillin drugs, but this drug is also produced in large quantities in the West, and there is little difference in technology between them, and it is not realistic to sell them on a large scale.
Think about it.
What Gao Jianwu can think of is that it is more likely to develop the garment industry, because the starting requirements of this industry are low, it is completely labor-intensive, and there are many job opportunities, and the cost advantage is very obvious.
After Gao Jianwu determined this idea, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't imagine that the original time and space needed to rely on clothing to exchange for planes, and today, he, Gao Jianwu, as a traverser, also had to rely on the development of clothing to exchange food.
The garment industry was not originally in Gao Jianwu's plan to develop industry, and most of them are now operated by the private sector, because the threshold of this line is not high, the demand is wide, and it can be done from tailor shops to garment factories.
With this idea, Gao Jianwu began to find out the bottom of the base area, he was the person in charge of the development of industry, and the results of the investigation were quickly come out with an order.
Gao Jianwu took the research results and found that the garment industry is not so much an industry as a small-scale farmer model, and most of the clothes are garment factories or tailor shops for local people's consumption, all over the base cities, but there are almost no brands on a large scale.
However, the upstream cloth silk factory is relatively large-scale, but in Gao Jianwu's view, the scale is not large enough, the garment industry as a whole is quite large because there are 40,000 compatriots, but the style and materials are very conservative, there is no decent brand at all, so Gao Jianwu shook his head after seeing it.
This matter has to be promoted by his own hands.
...
"Bosses, I have summoned you here today because there is a big matter that needs to be discussed." Gao Jianwu invited dozens of influential bosses in the clothing industry from all over the country to gather, and watched everyone talk about it, and I don't know what to do with them today.
Gao Jianwu didn't play dumb riddles, and said straight to the point: "All the bosses are leaders in the clothing industry. First of all, I want to ask, which boss is the biggest among the bosses here? What are the annual sales?"
As soon as Gao Jianwu asked, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to one person.
It was a thin, middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle manner, and I saw him raise his hand and stand up unhurriedly. "Minister Gao, under is Ren Zhigang of Wuhe Knitting Factory, if you talk about the category of undershirts, the goose brand undershirts founded in the next may be the first in the country, with annual sales of more than 2 million oceans (S$10 million)."
Of course, Gao Jianwu knew Ren Zhigang, today's clothing king, after all, when he held this meeting, he had already understood the bosses here.
"Boss Ren, please sit down and talk, you can make the clothing business so big, it's really good, I heard that Boss Ren is a top student who graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and he used to be in Jardine Matheson
I don't know how much Boss Ren's clothing brand sells abroad?" Gao Jianwu asked with a smile.
Originally, he was still smiling, and when Ren Zhigang heard Gao Jianwu say this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Minister Gao, in terms of export sales, Wuhe really doesn't have this ability, and is currently mainly focusing on the domestic market." Ren Zhigang said with some embarrassment.
"Everyone, do you have a foreign clothing market?" Gao Jianwu glanced at it and asked the others.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Minister Gao. The foreign clothing market is completely different from the domestic clothing, we are mainly based on Chinese clothing, and the Western-style clothing is relatively speaking, from the style of clothing to the cutting can not compete with the foreign clothing industry. Not to mention clothing, there is also a strong brand added value, and we have no channels to sell abroad. At the moment, our garments are not competitive abroad at all." Ren Zhigang said to Gao Jianwu.
"I agree with all the objective factors mentioned by Boss Ren just now, if you want to do export sales, do you have any other difficulties?" Gao Jianwu continued to ask.
"Minister Gao. I think that if we want to do export, our production capacity will not be able to keep up. All of us here are also leaders in the local area. But in terms of sales, it is only hundreds of thousands of oceans. As far as the foreign trade business I know is concerned, our scale is not enough for the freight of a ship." One of the bosses in the room raised his hand and spoke.
"Is there anything else?" Gao Jianwu asked.
"I feel like we don't have international talent in apparel design either. Our clothing is biased towards the traditional and old-fashioned Chinese style. And the Chinese style has almost no sales market for foreigners.
For the categories of dresses and suits that foreigners are used to wearing, we don't have a good designer who can keep track of international fashion design. Of course, I think the most important thing is what Boss Ren just said, we have no channels abroad.
If there is a channel, I think we can also invite some foreign designers to make up for this aspect of design, we still have an advantage in manpower, and if there is a good design payment, it is also possible for us to export our clothing." Another boss who has a bit of a bottom on international clothing sales added.
"It seems that everyone is not completely unthinking about the export of clothing, and I think the opinions and suggestions you have just put forward are very good and insightful. Today, I'm inviting you here to brainstorm ideas on how we can do our garment business abroad." Gao Jianwu saw that there was no one to add, and began to enter today's topic.
"The funding issue that you just mentioned. I would like to make a statement to you, as long as you have the confidence to enter the international market, I will raise as much as you need!"
"As for the other channel issue that you are worried about, I would like to give you a clear idea, we have a very reliable and powerful channel in the Americas to promote the clothes that you produce.
On the Europa side, we also have people who are exploring the markets of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, and I believe that progress will be made soon, and the sales channels can also be solved for everyone."
Hearing Gao Jianwu put forward these two points, the people present exploded all of a sudden.
They can be ahead of the doujin in this era. Consciousness and vision are far beyond ordinary people. If it is really like what Gao Jianwu said, there is a guarantee of funds and ready-made market sales channels, then a new market appears in front of them, and it is a mountain of gold.
"Minister Gao, is what you said true? If this is the case, we at Wuhe Knitting Factory will spare no effort to open up the international market.
Ren Zhigang, the clothing king who deals with foreigners the most, took the lead in moving, you must know that his undershirt business has almost reached the top in China, but the domestic market is now more standardized than the undershirt business, which is more suitable for mass production, and other categories are not easy to take the standardized route.
This restricts everyone's space for upward development, because many clothes need to be customized, which forces them to be localized, resulting in small tailor workshops becoming the main force of current clothing.
Standardized production categories like suits do not have a large market share in domestic sales, after all, they are expensive and inconvenient to work in, domestic
The real white-collar class has not yet been formed, except for the group of people in the business field and college teachers in the city, the sales volume of suits is not an order of magnitude compared to undershirts.
When everyone heard Ren Zhigang's words, they reacted quickly and thought of a certain possibility, if the foreign market is really opened, it is possible to create another new clothing king.
These quick reactions immediately stared at Gao Jianwu with burning eyes.
"Of course, what I say will soon become a reality. And I'm not finished talking about it, but I can also promise you here that you are worried about the design of clothing styles. Every month, we bring back new designs from overseas for everyone to process. I have only one requirement, that is, everyone to ensure the quality of processing.
Under such conditions. Think about it, how many pieces can be produced each month?"
"Minister Gao, our Wuhe knitting factory produces at least 100,000 pieces a month!" Ren Zhigang's brain is buzzing, such a God-given opportunity, he must fight for it.
[In view of the general environment,
100,000 pieces per month, even if you earn 5 cents per piece, it is 50,000 gross profit a month.
Seeing that the clothing kings were all fighting, the rest of the bosses were a little anxious one by one.
"My Xianglong clothing can produce 30,000!"
"Our 7-Up knitting factory can produce 20,000!"
"We can produce 50,000 Fuxi Clothing!"
The clothing bosses in the field began to come back to their senses one by one, listening to this tone, Minister Gao is here to give money to everyone today, if you don't seize this opportunity, you are really sorry for the ancestors.
Although the bosses here have not yet figured out Gao Jianwu's true thoughts, just because these clothes are used for export, everyone understands Minister Gao's energy in this regard.
Otherwise, Minister Gao will not contribute money and channels. It's time to provide a design style.
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Gao Jianwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Originally, he thought that it would take a lot of trouble to convince these bosses to do foreign trade business today.
I didn't expect that people who could be big bosses in this era have no weak vision. Especially people like Ren Zhigang, who have worked in foreign firms, are born with the sensitive sense of smell of a businessman.
After everyone's excitement passed for a while, Gao Jianwu raised his hand and pressed it.
"Don't worry, everyone. Everyone has a part in the business of clothing export. Our channels abroad are far more than everyone thinks. We can say that we can digest as much as we want." Gao Jianwu's words are really not nonsense.
The clothing industry, to put it bluntly, the low-end is the channel is king, cost priority, in the current domestic massive human resources, if the first to open the clothing foreign trade market, who can compete with us in terms of cost?
"The production capacity that everyone here has reported now. It's not enough for us. I hope that in the future, we are planning how to increase our production capacity to 5 million, or even 10 million pieces per month."
Gao Jianwu's words shocked the bosses present like thunder, and set off a storm in their hearts, even Ren Zhigang, a big expert who has both internal and external knowledge, began to be intimidated by Gao Jianwu's pride.
At the same time, there is some disbelief.
"I know that everyone still has some doubts about what I said, but it doesn't matter, we will next according to the way of customized production and delivery of incoming materials, and provide you with fabrics, styles and orders from the base, the first batch of our orders is 500,000 pieces, requiring delivery within a month, considering that everyone comes from different places, our delivery locations are divided into three, and then everyone will transport to these three places." Gao Jianwu didn't wait for them to ask questions, and directly threw out hard goods.
500,000 pieces?! This large order suddenly pushed the already enthusiastic scene directly to the boiling state.
"Minister Gao, what is the processing profit of this batch of goods?" Ren Zhigang asked in a somewhat trembling voice, among all the people present, he has the largest production capacity, which means that he can eat the largest piece of cake.
"Considering everyone's business, this first batch of hair
The profit will be given after deducting the cost of labor and materials to reach 15%, of course, the labor cost is calculated by us, and the production efficiency and product quality are not high, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it." Gao Jianwu said with a smile.
After deducting labor and material costs, giving 15% of the profit is already a lot for large quantities of clothing, such as Ren Zhigang, a large knitting factory whose plant and equipment have been amortized, the net profit in hand is more than 10%.
What's more, the fabrics for this business are provided by Gao Jianwu, which is basically zero risk, and the amortization is also small, because the batch size is large, and the amortization of management costs and machinery and equipment becomes very small.
So there is no need for Gao Jianwu to mobilize, and soon, the business of processing 500,000 pieces of clothing will be divided by everyone!
In this regard, today's meeting can be described as a great joy, many people began to think about how to expand production capacity back, and the sewing machine business suddenly became hot.
