See Nanshan leisurely

It was still dark when we got off the train. Although the sparks were shining brightly outside and it looked very lively, the two of them did not leave hastily when they arrived for the first time. Instead, they stayed at the train station until dawn before coming out.

Lan Shan bought a map of Guangzhou at the newsstand at the entrance of the station, and sat on the steps to read it with Chen Youran. ——After leaving the station, Lan Shan looked for an opportunity to sell the ponytail for the two of them to the passengers who were about to enter the station, earning a few more dollars.

The two circled the location of the garment factory and found out that it was a big project.Factories occupy a large area. For the sake of cost control, they are usually built in the surrounding suburbs and scattered around the whole of Guangzhou. It is really not easy to walk through them all.

"There is a long way to go!" Lan Shan put away the map and left with Chen Youran.

After leaving the station, countless people came forward, greeted them warmly and even chatted. "Where are you going? Do you want to stay in a hotel? Do you want to eat? Do you want to use a car?" The series of questions was overwhelming.At this time, we should show the majesty of the locals and tell them to retreat in spite of difficulties.But both Chen Youran and Lan Shan couldn't do it. They could only run out holding hands.

After a while, Chen Youran looked back to make sure that she had gotten rid of those people, so she pulled Lan Shan to stop, panting heavily.

The two stood on the unfamiliar street, still breathing, looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help laughing together.

Every place in this city is new to them.The two were full of curiosity, even if they were chased and fled in such a state of embarrassment, they still found it very interesting.

"Let's go eat something first." Chen Youran said.

As the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.Although things are important, you have to eat. This is a necessary expense and there is no need to save.

Just choosing a small shop on the side of the street to enter, Chen Youran was immediately shocked by the price list on the wall.Living in a big city is not easy, she knows, but the prices are twice as expensive as in a small city like Yun County, which is still a bit scary.

Or are the shops near the train station particularly expensive?Chen Youran still knows this kind of routine.

In the end, the two ate a bowl of rice rolls on the street, and then started a day of running around.

Since the factories surrounded the whole of Guangzhou, they simply started from the nearest train station and walked over one by one, as if they were traveling around the city of Guangzhou.Although I can't see much from a glimpse on the bus, I have seen Guangzhou after all.

But in the afternoon, Chen Youran couldn't take it anymore.

It's not hard work, hard work is what she expected, after all, money is not so easy to earn, she has already been mentally prepared.

The biggest problem is that the temperature in Guangzhou is really too high, it is so hot that you can feel the sun will completely melt you when you walk on the street.The temperature of the cement-paved ground was frighteningly high after being exposed to the sun for a long time, and after it subsided, there was a burning and painful feeling, which Chen Youran couldn't adapt to anyway.

Lan Shan was actually the same. After walking tens of meters against the sun, they felt drenched in sweat and felt dehydrated.

Chen Youran hurriedly dragged Lan Shan into the nearby supermarket.There is an air conditioner here, and when the cold air blows, you will feel alive.

"We can't go on like this anymore." Chen Youran said.It's okay to say that it's hot, but it will be bad if you suffer from heat stroke.Then tossing myself into the hospital, what is the plot?

"Adjust the time to avoid the hottest period in the middle, or stay in the factory." Lan Shan thought for a while and said.Anyway, they are going to talk about things, as long as the time card is good, they can spend the hottest time in the house instead of wandering on the street.

But this is just a small episode. The real problem is that they find that even if they go to the garment factory, they may not be able to find a suitable source of goods.

The full name of the clothing factory should be called a clothing processing factory. Most of them do not have their own designs and brands, but take orders from outside for processing, and put a brand on it after leaving the factory.If there is no order, it will rest, so that there is no need to bear the risk of being pressed in the factory after the goods are produced.

With this kind of business model, unless there is a mistake, a whole batch of goods has problems, and the quality inspection fails to be suppressed, otherwise it is impossible to have inventory.

Chen Youran and Lan Shan came here to reduce costs. They thought they could get the ex-factory price from the factory, but they didn't expect that the factory's operation mode turned out to be like this.Other factories are willing to take their orders, but the problem is that they don't have a design line, and now is not the time to think about these issues.

After walking through several factories in a row, there was no gain. The two felt more and more heavy. Every night they stayed in the hotel and looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel anxious. They didn't know who to contact next to solve the current predicament.

Fortunately, things turned around soon. I don’t know if it’s because of the pity of the two young people. Someone told them in private that in fact, every factory has a backlog of goods, but they all have their own regular partners and walk-ins. goods channel, will not sell to them.

In the production of such things, even if machines are used, there will always be some unqualified and defective products backlogged in the factory.However, these items do not meet the standards of major customers, but they are still very popular because they are not bad in terms of tailoring design and materials.In order not to bear this part of the cost themselves, the factory naturally has to sell the goods.

But usually they cooperate with familiar clothing companies, and it is impossible to consider the two young people who ran out of nowhere.

The person who told them these things also kindly pointed out the maze for them, and introduced a clothing company that specializes in getting these goods from the factory, and asked them to go there and ask.

The two took the address and looked for it, but found that the place was remote and far away, looked dilapidated, and very irregular.In the end, they watched outside the door for half an afternoon, but they still didn't go in.Although there are many kind-hearted people in this world, there are also a lot of malicious ones. This place looks irregular. If something goes wrong when you enter, it will be called "every day should not be done, and the place will not work."

"Use a stupid method, let's grind one by one." Lan Shan said, "I hope there will be something to gain."

She said she wanted to grind, but she didn't use the method of stalking.They first visited the factory. Most of these residents worked in the factory and knew the situation very well. They could ask some questions and judge whether the factory had any goods. If so, they would come to talk with them.

To put it bluntly, the factory is also for food.Most of the clothing companies collect these defective products as a pretext, and the price must be very low, so if they can find a factory that still has a backlog of goods, they will have the opportunity to order the goods in advance.

Who can't get along with money?

After two days of tossing, I finally found a suitable factory.

Among the many factories, this Tiansheng garment factory is very inconspicuous, small in scale, not so formal, and its efficiency is getting worse and worse, it looks like it can close at any time.But Chen Youran had a very strange premonition, she felt that this deal would definitely be successful.

They should be more eager for a turnover of funds than other manufacturers, right?Even if the amount is small.

But after inquiring about the specific situation, both of them felt cold.

The reason why this garment factory will overstock is because a previous order turned yellow.The thing was produced, but the customer went bankrupt and ran away.The deposit does not need to be refunded, but it can't make up for the holes in the raw materials!So they urgently need to get this batch out.

The problem is that these are not defective products, even if they are willing to charge only the cost price, few people are willing to accept it.

Lan Shan and Chen Youran were very willing to take it, anyway, the ex-factory price was already rare and cheap.But other garment factories look down on them. ——The total backlog of this batch of goods is [-] pieces, and the meaning of the garment factory is also very clear. They don't engage in retail sales, and if they want to get goods, they have to eat them all in one go.

But they can't eat it at all!

Chen Youran and Lan Shan, whose total net worth is less than 3 yuan, are very troubled.

In their original plan, the first trip out was just to test the waters.Of course, now that they have all come to Guangzhou, it is definitely impossible to get too few goods for the first time, but tens of thousands of pieces is still too exaggerated.Not to mention how to sell it back, they can't come up with so much money.

In fact, most clothing companies are just middlemen to earn the difference.They get goods from factories and sell them to retailers, or they are entrusted by retailers to place orders with factories, relying on their connections and reputation in this industry.Most of the time, they don’t actually have that much capital turnover. They usually make samples at the factory first, and the customer places an order. They then pay a deposit to the factory and start production. settlement.

So this part of the cost is actually borne by the factory.

But Chen Youran and Lan Shan couldn't do this, because the two of them didn't know where they were born, and they weren't in the industry. They didn't have any credibility, so they couldn't play around at all.

It can only be as big a bowl as there is an appetite.

So they began to harass their door every day, asking the factory to sell some of them to them.The reason is also very reasonable. Most people can't eat such a large batch of goods. It's better to take them apart and sell them piecemeal. Maybe there will be a turning point.Even if not, at least part of the payment will be returned first, and the employees' wages will be paid, right?

Maybe it was really useful to make soft and hard foam, or maybe there was really no other way out. In the end, the factory agreed to their proposal and could sell some of the goods to them, but the quantity should not be less than [-] pieces.

Chen Youran is also very single, and directly said that he only has 2 yuan now, "[-] pieces, [-] yuan. If we succeed, we will leave."

"Four thousand pieces." The boss gritted his teeth.

"What you just said can't be less than five thousand."

"..."

In the end, the boss gritted his teeth and agreed to the price.They are all light summer clothes. Although the materials are good, the cost is actually only a few yuan. On average, there is actually no loss, so they can be sold if they can be sold.After all, these two seemingly unreliable little girls are the only ones who have come out with real money.

After signing the contract and walking out of the factory, Chen Youran felt her heart beating suddenly, and she felt dizzy.

She held on to Lan Shan's handwriting tightly, feeling her hands and feet were weak, and her voice was trembling, "Ashu, did I just spend all my family's savings?"

In the office just now, the words were rushed for that sake. At that time, the blood was hot, and there was nothing wrong with it. When the boss nodded, it was even less likely to go back on his word.

Now that the blood surging in her chest had cooled down, she realized that she was impulsive.

But the contract is signed...

"No, there are a few thousand yuan left, which is enough for the second half of the year." Lan Shan supported her and replied calmly.

"You..." Chen Youran swallowed nervously, "Why didn't you remind me just now?" She slapped her forehead vigorously with the other hand, "I also forgot to ask you at that time."

"Try it." Lan Shan didn't pursue the problem at that time, but said, "Although it is a bit crazy, I don't think it is completely hopeless. I heard that this batch of goods is the original foreign trade order, and we have seen the samples. The design, color application and fabric are not bad, even if the provincial capital does not have such a complete range of goods, it should be very easy to sell. Next, as long as you find a buyer for this batch of goods, you will be able to get the money back immediately.”

But the more she said that, the more guilty Chen Youran felt, and said with a wry smile, "Doesn't this mean that the risk of overstocking has been transferred from the factory to us?"

She didn't even know how she was so impulsive to be so impulsive.

In fact, what I thought at the time should be similar to what Lan Shan said.But when I thought about it, I was full of confidence, but now I hesitated, and couldn't believe that everything would go so smoothly.

If this sum is lost, this batch of clothes will be enough for their family to wear for a lifetime, and the previously planned routes will be in vain.Chen Youran, who still bears the responsibility of supporting the family on her shoulders, just thinks about it, and her brain hurts.

"It's okay, didn't your dad sign the note? He still owes you more than 2 yuan and hasn't paid it. If you really lose money, go back and ask him for money." Lan Shan comforted her, "You didn't intend to pay that money. If you want it, it is equivalent to not having it. If you can get it back, it is considered that the capital has come back."

Chen Youran: "..." It sounds so reasonable.

Although it seems to be a solution, what's the matter with the feeling of not being comforted at all?

After spending such a huge sum of money, even if I feel a little weak in my knees after recovering, I can only grit my teeth.Chen Youran took a deep breath, gave up thinking about hurting the spring and autumn, cheered up and said to Lan Shan, "Let's discuss the next thing."

"It's impossible to take them home with so much goods. I have to find a car." It's best to use a long-distance truck. The destination is the provincial capital. The other party can take them back by the way, and the price can be lowered.

Chen Youran was a little worried.Chen Boping was originally in the sports car business, so she also knew a little bit about the inside story. Running a sports car outside, especially for long-distance hauling, was very messy.

Smuggling with your own goods is not a big deal, but there are also many people who rob customers, hit and run, or even kill and steal goods.

Although Chen Boping and his friends said these things after they were drunk, their tone was vague and refused to explain clearly, and they couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but Chen Youran could still guess the danger.

The two little girls couldn't be too cautious.

At this time, Chen Youran would be very eager to grow up.Although she is already an adult, she is too young after all, and she has little social experience at first glance, and everyone thinks she is easy to bully.

The two walked out of the factory talking all the way, ready to go back by car.Just as Chen Youran thought of this, she saw a tattoo shop across the street.

!!!

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind, and she tightly grasped Lan Shan's wrist, "Ashu, how about I get a tattoo?"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Lan Shan was surprised.

"Isn't this going to make people look a little more aggressive?" Chen Youran said, "We are too young to stand out and not be convincing. We can only start from the outside, making people feel that they are not easy to mess with, and the trouble will be much less. What do you think?"

In fact, this is the same as she wanted to cut her hair before, but in a different way.

Lan Shan looked at the store opposite, and then at Chen Youran, feeling a little helpless at her overactive brain circuits, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help admitting that this was indeed a feasible solution.It may not be possible to solve the problem, but at least it is better than doing nothing.

But the question is, "You can scare people with bad intentions by getting a tattoo now, but when you go back to set up a stall, who will dare to come and buy it?"

...good question.Chen Youran fell into deep thought.

"But it's not completely impossible." Lan Shan thought for a while, and pulled Chen Youran over.

When they entered the store, the boss immediately got up and greeted them, asking if they needed any help.Lan Shan swept her eyes and saw what she wanted, so she pointed to the things hanging on the wall and asked, "How do you sell this?"

There are tattoo stickers hanging there.Just like the transparent stickers after children eat bubble gum, they are made into various patterns, which look exactly like tattoos on the hands, and can be easily washed off.

Seeing this, Chen Youran couldn't help but suddenly realized that Lan Shan was indeed the most powerful. With this thing, she can be fierce when she wants to be fierce, and she can still look good when she wants to pretend to be good. It won't affect her body. up.

So when she came out of the shop, Chen Youran was already a big sister with an eagle tattooed on her arm.

Lan Shan looked at her for a while, nodded, then shook her head, "It's not enough, it almost smells." After thinking about it, she finally came to a conclusion, "I need to perm my hair."

So I went to perm my head again, and put on a special suit for punks, looking like a young woman in a bad society.

Lan Shan bought another set of cosmetics. After a little practice, she directly touched Chen Youran. After finishing this set of heavy makeup, Chen Youran immediately matured for several years. She looked quite mature. It is 25 and some people believe it.

"Is it too exaggerated?" Chen Youran, who was so grown up and used cosmetics other than Dabao for the first time, looked uncomfortable at the strange self in the mirror.

"That's the effect." Lan Shan said.

After fully armed, the two went to find the truck.Chen Youran put on an unfriendly expression, and Lan Shan followed her in a small position, successfully negotiating a car.

Of course, their few things are not enough for a trip. They just secretly stuffed them in the original cargo. It is regarded as the private work of the driver himself, so the price is not expensive, and they can carry both of them, but they can only squat in the back of the car. bucket.

With the goods worth 2 yuan in his hand, Chen Youran didn't dare to waste any more time, and immediately took someone to pack the car and set off when he found the car.When I went to the factory to check out, I was watched by the crowd, probably because I didn't expect her to change a lot in one day.

Holding the receipt and watching the workers loading the truck, Chen Youran couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, when she was going out, she thought that five or six thousand would be enough, but Lan Shan persuaded her that since the poor family has a rich life, there will be various situations when going out, so she can consider bringing more.Later, she simply took [-] yuan, and she and Lan Shan each took half of it. They sewed it in their clothes for fear of being stolen, and took another few hundred coins to spend.

Did not expect to spend all of a sudden.

She didn't taste the refreshingness of spending a lot of money, but the feeling of heartache bleeding was very deep.

The truck is loaded with so much stuff that it is actually overweight.However, all the trucks in the world are overweight almost every day, and this problem cannot be further studied.What's more, she is now a vested interest, so when Chen Youran and Lan Shan squatted in the pile of goods, bumping up and down as the car moved, it was rare for her to feel a bit of vicissitudes of life in her heart.

In the past, the self who didn’t understand anything, could only see what was in front of him, and could be unhappy for a month because of a pair of shoes, remembered it like a dream.
