"What’s that?" Guihua took a sip of tea, "I’ve been asking for a long time, and you still didn’t say."
"Well, I’ve got a piece of land now," he said.
Everyone was taken aback and didn’t react immediately.
Han Dong said, "I mean I’ve rented a piece of land, just at the third factory over there. I bought up the whole factory area."
The third factory is a relatively large forging factory in X City. The products are directly shipped to the south. The local people find this place very mysterious because it’s heavily guarded, rarely can anyone get inside. There were a lot of steel bars, iron pipes, all transported out by big trucks. It was originally a very good place, anyone working there would be immensely proud.
The benefits were good, the wages were high, and every holiday, the distributions were much better than elsewhere.
But starting a few years ago, the factory’s performance gradually declined, and they couldn’t even pay the wages. The steel that used to be piled there gradually rusted, and no one took it away.
It was long rumored to go bankrupt, but I didn’t expect the factory to be sold?
Guihua said, "You have so much money, did I underestimate you before?"
Han Dong laughed, "Actually, the rent for the factory’s land wasn’t much. My parents understood my idea, so they helped a bit and got this plant area for me. I’m thinking of doing some business with this place, what do you think? Do you have any good suggestions? The lease is five years. Can I become rich in these years?"
"Get rich!" Yang Liu laughed, "Like those with tens of thousands?"
To ordinary people, having tens of thousands in savings was already an astronomical number.
But Han Dong was unimpressed, "Is tens of thousands even considered money? I’ve rented the factory, so I know well that what I want isn’t something anyone else commonly thinks of. What I want is a business that can make a lot of money."
Guihua was eating while saying, "I don’t know what you want? We’re all just women here, can’t really help, just watching the excitement."
Han Dong waved his hand, "Don’t underestimate women. In our country, women hold up half the sky. Women are the most powerful. They earn and spend. Most of these clothes are women’s, right? If women didn’t , we wouldn’t earn so much."
"So you want to do business related to women?"
"Exactly. How about we open a garment factory to make clothes?" Han Dong laughed.
Sun Chan blinked, "Make them ourselves?"
"Yes," Han Dong crossed his legs, "If we go to Shenzhen to wholesale clothes, the cost is too high. Plus, size and style are things we can only choose ourselves. Some clothes just won’t sell. The habits of the south and north are different too. Many styles, southern people can wear, but northern people can’t accept. The clothes we sold just now could be the latest fashion in the south. But in the north, selling them for five yuan each is hard. Also, southern clothes are too thin. In the north, summer lasts only a month, warm clothing is the focus."
Sun Chan and the others nodded together. Indeed, some clothes were of good quality and style, but people here just wouldn’t accept them. It would be great if we could design clothes that are popular here and suit the local characteristics.
Han Dong said, "I talked to my parents before, planning to start a garment factory, and they supported me. I’m thinking of making some jackets, suits, and winter coats, including down jackets. I’ll go to shopping malls and clothing wholesale markets. The more volume, the more profit. Small profits but quick returns."
Sun Chan asked, "But who will do the designing?"
"Everyone brainstorm, think carefully."
"Although I have some ideas, I’m not good at drawing," Sun Chan laughed. In her past life, she didn’t wear many nice clothes, but she saw many fashionable outfits in magazines and on TV. If she could draw them, it would be great.
Her sewing skills were quite good, and she had worked at the village tailor in her previous life. She even made her own clothes from pieces of fabric, although the styles were very old-fashioned. But the principle was basically similar, and it looked like clothing. Making them herself should not be a problem.
Han Dong laughed, "Can’t draw? You can learn. That’s not a big deal. If you have any beautiful clothing designs, you can showcase them."
Yang Zhen clapped her hands and laughed, "I have a lot of foreign magazines and books at home, and Xinhua Bookstore has them too. We’ll gather them together and research well. I loved designing little outfits for dolls when I was a child."
"Yes, it all depends on you guys, design a hundred sets of clothes styles for me: cotton-padded clothes, shirts, pants, and I’ll take care of the fabric and labor. Once we get sewing machines, we can start the business right away."
"How much money is needed for this?"
Han Dong thought for a moment, then held out five fingers. Yang Zhen asked, "Five thousand... five ten thousand? My goodness!"
"What’s the big deal?" Han Dong laughed and said, "That’s already the minimum, do you think starting a business is that simple?"
Guihua frowned slightly, "Han Dong, isn’t this capital a bit too much? If you lose such a large amount, what would you do? Think it over carefully. If you lose, your parents would be heartbroken."
Han Dong said, "Don’t worry, I’ve thought it through. It’s the funds my parents saved for me to buy a house, and prepared for furniture and renovation, all coming out. If I lose, it’s just that I can’t marry a wife, no big deal."
"Is that still a small issue? You’ll worry your parents to death, they only have you as a son!" Guihua laughed, "You really are carefree."
Han Dong was unconcerned, "What I want is career development, getting married and having kids can wait. Besides, I’m confident, I won’t lose!"
In these past years, he’s acquainted with a few business people, how could he possibly lose money?
Sun Chan said, "Since you’ve decided to do it, it must be done well. Let’s brainstorm what kind?"
"Yes, I’ll have a teacher who teaches art at my school to come help during the holidays. Once everyone thinks of clothing styles, she can draw them," Yang Zhen smiled.
While eating, everyone discussed the garment factory business. Actually, the biggest issue in doing business is money, but Han Dong had already solved this problem. Everyone just brainstormed and imagined the little details.
Han Dong said, "You’re all veterans at the factory. When the factory becomes successful, I’ll give you dividends."
"Sure! But we don’t have much capital."
"It’s not necessary to invest money, contribute what you can. If you have money, give money, if not, just contribute your effort."
Among these women, Guihua had the most money on hand, and she wanted to invest, "I can’t come up with much, but two thousand should work. It’s not bad to be a shareholder in the future." Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
