The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 132 The Surprising Cost of Jeans
Chen Shi thought of the cheap jeans, and calculated the production cost with great interest.

After a rough calculation, you may know whether the ex-factory price is expensive.

He wants a large quantity. If it is the brand of Smith Barney, the 3% discount is still a bit high, but how much he can cut, he has to be able to calculate the cost, and he probably knows the bottom line of the manufacturer's price.

Take the jeans sold by the pound just now.

In order to reduce costs, many jeans manufacturers are trying their best to reduce costs. The raw materials of these jeans, which cost tens of yuan, are generally adulterated, such as replacing cotton with low-priced chemical fibers or directly using low-cost and low-quality materials such as recycled cotton.

The clothes made of these raw materials are basically invisible as long as they are dyed.

But if you smell it carefully, you can still smell some chemicals.

Other zippers, rivets and other materials are often inferior aluminum products, which are easy to break after a short period of time.

Including fabrics, accessories, craftsmanship, etc., the total cost is estimated to be about 15-20 yuan.

From this point of view, it is still profitable to sell 40 yuan a pair of jeans on the street. If you can sell 10 pairs a day, you can easily earn thousands of yuan a month.

Of course, rent is a big deal.

"Damn, no wonder. When I was young in my previous life, the jeans I bought back faded as soon as I washed them. The color fading of good pants is not so serious, and they don't even fade."

"Now that the level of craftsmanship has improved, there may be less color fading."

Chen Shi muttered and cursed those unscrupulous manufacturers.

However, perhaps because they are so cheap, they are affordable for the poor.

Today, Chen Shi wants to sell clothing, and jeans are one of the categories. Of course, he won't buy those spicy chicken products.

If you want to buy good quality, you must know the cost.

The price of jeans mainly depends on the amount of fabric used, the quality of fabric and the price of washing water. If the requirements are not particularly harsh, the price difference between workshops is not very big.

Some manufacturers can make denim samples below 30 yuan, most of which are tampered with fabrics, and many of them are made by buying stock fabrics or secondary fabrics.

If the processing in the workshop is based on five bags, it will cost 0.25 yuan to fill one more bag, and 0.6 yuan to open one more zipper bag. Everything depends on the board.

现目前市场的好一点儿的牛仔面料约在14-20元/码左右，内销用布量约为1.35码，布料成本就是19到27元。

Washing water also has hand wiping, bag edge yoke and other processes such as horse wiping, sandblasting, destroying, hand sewing, and creasing.

The unit price of different crafts will vary greatly, some as little as 1 yuan, and as many as 20-30 yuan a piece.

Under the current market conditions, the average price of the more popular washing water is about 8 to 10 yuan.

Then calculate the labor price and other raw material costs, and you can roughly calculate the cost.

For example, 1.35 yards of fabric is 20 yuan, a pattern is made for 5 cents, a piece of sewing on a cutting machine is about 1.5 yuan, final packaging is 4 yuan, and washing is [-] yuan;
Three iron buttons are about 3 hairs, rivets are about 0.3 yuan, a copper zipper is about 0.7 yuan, ordinary bag cloth is 0.6 yuan, a hang tag with rope is about 0.4 yuan, a leather tag is about 0.18 yuan, the main mark and size mark about 0.4 hair;
The waist tag is about 0.12 yuan, the inner plastic bag is about 0.25 yuan, the handle bag is about 0.3 yuan, the carton is about [-] cents, the embroidery is [-] needles, and the hand-embroidered beads
The gross profit of the manufacturer is 10%, and the estimated cost is around 40 yuan.

Maybe the labor cost will increase a lot, plus advertising costs, etc., it may reach 50 yuan, or higher.

If the quantity is large, the cost may be much lower.

The brand jeans Chen Shi is looking for, like those worn by students, usually retail for about 200 yuan, and the cost may be between 45 yuan and 50 yuan.

The minimum purchase discount is 200% off, even if it is sold for 60 yuan, the purchase price is [-] yuan.

In this case, the purchase price is a bit high.

For the various costs he calculated, Chen Shi only estimated roughly.

How much is more specific, the estimation error will not be very large.

Chen Shi looked at Meibang's franchise conditions and found that the lowest factory price was [-]% off.

If the tag price is 220 yuan, that is 66 yuan.

The highest manufacturer is 88% off, [-] yuan.

The purchase discount is probably the discount price that small stores or general franchise stores get from provincial and municipal agents.

If the quantity is large, you can also get a discount lower than [-]% off from the agent.

Although the above is a hypothesis, there may be errors between each brand and the actual situation, but it is similar to the actual situation.

Knowing the comprehensive cost and the low line of the manufacturer, Chen Shi will know how to negotiate the price without letting himself suffer.

As for the brand, Chen Shi has no restrictions.

What he values ​​is the cooperation method, the actual price of the goods, the terminal sales price, and the final profit margin.

To be precise, he will represent whichever is the most profitable, the most free, and the supply speed can keep up.

Similarly, you can also represent several companies. Although there is a competitive relationship on the surface, and the contract regulations of the garment factory are also written in that way, as long as you sell well, who cares.

He plans to go to Wenzhou tomorrow. Smith Barney and Semir are there, and there are many clothing brands in Wenzhou.

After looking at the air ticket from the provincial capital to Wenzhou tomorrow, I am not nervous at all.

He planned to book a plane ticket that departed at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It only took half an hour to drive from school to the airport.

Now you can swipe your ID card to get the boarding pass, but it is more troublesome to queue up to go through the security check.

An hour is enough time.

In other words, before 08:30, you have to set off.

Chen Shi thought again that asking for leave would be troublesome.

It's okay if you don't go to class for a day and you don't get caught by the teacher's name.

But if you are called out of class for two days, the counselor can't help it.

It must be reported to the student department of the department, or another warning will be imposed.

"If it is found that you are not in school, you will be punished with a major demerit last semester. This semester, you may be issued a warning. Double-clicking is too dangerous, and you may be expelled."

"Damn, I have to go to the counselor and student office tomorrow morning!"

Chen Shi thought about it again and again, and it was more appropriate to book the flight at eleven o'clock.

After searching, I found a flight that took off at [-]:[-], so I booked it directly.

The distance between the two places is relatively far, and it takes more than three hours to fly.

He bought a first-class cabin with spacious seats that could lie flat.

Well, he just wants to experience high-end services.

Generally speaking, on domestic routes, except for aircraft with three-class layout and large express cabins, basically all flights are first class and economy class, and there is no business class.

Even if it is a two-class aircraft, there is no first class, only business class seats, and it is generally sold as first class on domestic routes.

You can get a discount in economy class, but not in first class.

It cost Chen Shi 3520 yuan to book a ticket, which is twice the normal full price. If the economy class is discounted, it is estimated to be a few hundred yuan.

Of course, in addition to wanting to experience it, it is mainly to save time.

The first-class cabin provides passengers with free airport VIP lounges, and boarding is also more convenient, and there is no need to queue so long.

At the same time, you can also code and write books on the plane without worrying about interference.

If you are tired, you can take a rest.

The money earned by codewords is more than a few thousand dollars.

"Well, I can earn nearly [-] yuan in just a few hours, but I have to learn to enjoy it."

"If I have money, I still want to buy a private jet, and I can do what I want without interference."

Chen Shiru thought, imagining a beautiful life.

After booking the tickets, it was quite late.

At the same time, the code word task was not completed today.

Tentacle monster, even if you have a manuscript, you are not afraid.

Turn off the computer and pack up your documents.

For example, the company's business license and rental contract need to be copied, and the clothing company may use the review materials at that time.

After Chen Shi and Yu Ran left the office and sent her to the girls' dormitory, they had to go back to the dormitory early and prepare their luggage for the business trip.
