Chapter 236: Goodness! So Many Orders?
Chapter 236: Goodness! So Many Orders?
Inside the Zhang Family Garment Factory, Zhang He was entertaining a guest.
The guest was the owner of the Youcheng Sanqing Foot Spa, a well-known figure in Youcheng who had been in the foot spa business for a long time. Leveraging his experience, he had attracted countless tourists to his spa after the Liyuan Farm became a sensation, raking in substantial profits.
Due to his success, he had opened a new branch and was now here to order a batch of foot spa uniforms.
He also promised to place regular orders in the future, but with a condition: he wanted a discount. The discount he requested was significant, leaving very little profit for the factory.
So, Zhang He was haggling with him, unsure if he could agree to the terms. He was maintaining a positive attitude, ensuring that even if the deal didn’t go through, they would part on good terms.
Just then, a salesperson walked in and reported, "Boss, your nephew, Mr. Zhang, has arrived."
"Little Lin is here!" Zhang He said immediately, "Please bring him in and offer him some tea!"
"Sure, boss," the salesperson nodded and walked out again.
This made the Sanqing Foot Spa owner somewhat displeased. After all, Zhang He was letting his nephew join the meeting while he was still a guest, which felt disrespectful.
"Uncle," Zhang Lin said with a smile as he entered, noticing his uncle had a guest. He walked over to a corner of the tea table and sat down.
"Little Lin, what brings you here today?" Zhang He asked, surprised.
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "I have an order I’d like Uncle’s help with."
"Do you have a new project?" Zhang He wasn’t surprised by the order. Whenever his nephew started a new project and needed to hire employees, he would order work uniforms from the factory. This had become one of their main businesses.
After all, they had to replace the employees’ uniforms every two months!
The employees at the other place wore their uniforms every day, barely changing them. They would rotate between two sets, washing and changing them. After two months, the uniforms would start to look worn out.
Given that the Liyuan Farm had reached such a high standard, it wouldn’t do to have employees in visibly old uniforms.
So, this was a steady and reliable business.
"Indeed, I have a new project, and this time, the quantity needed is quite large," Zhang Lin said with a smile.
"About how many? I can adjust the production line to help you. Up to 3,000 sets shouldn’t be a problem," Zhang He said, smiling.
This caught the attention of the Sanqing Foot Spa owner. After all, which company in Youcheng needed to order 3,000 work uniforms at once?
There weren’t many such companies, and he hadn’t heard of any large companies that matched this description.
Zhang Lin quickly stated his requirement, "Uncle, I need about 2,100 pieces every day!"
While the Mountain Spring Health Spa only received 2,000 tourists a day, there were always unexpected situations that required extra uniforms.
"2,000 pieces? I can arrange that and have them ready for you in a couple of days," Zhang He said, then paused, looking at his nephew in disbelief, "Little Lin, you said 2,100 pieces every day?"
"Yes, Uncle," Zhang Lin smiled.
"Ah?" Zhang He was stunned, "Why do you suddenly need so many orders?"
2,100 pieces a day was more than the entire factory’s current capacity. He would need to open two more production lines and hire twice as many employees to meet this demand.
Even the owner of the nearby Sanqing Foot Massage was stunned by the number.
After all, in his foot massage business, guests changed clothes every day, and he only needed about 200 sets, which he replaced every few months.
Now, 2,100 sets in a single day? Was this a joke?
What kind of company needed that many?
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder where your nephew works?" The owner of Sanqing Foot Massage couldn’t help but ask.
He even suspected that this might be a ploy to drive down his prices, a staged act with his nephew.
But if that was the case, the act was too ridiculous and easily exposed.
Zhang He didn’t hide anything and said directly, "Xiao Lin is the owner of Liyuan Farm, so their orders have always been handled by our factory."
"What?" The owner of Sanqing Foot Massage was taken aback, his eyes instinctively landing on Zhang Lin, and a legend came to mind.
He remembered hearing a description of the owner of Liyuan Farm at the Ultimate Bar.
It seemed to be a young man, surnamed Zhang, who had called so many security guards that the bar staff thought someone was trying to wreck the place, making them terrified.
So, this was the guy in front of him?
This realization made him subconsciously look at Zhang He. "Mr. Zhang, we’ll entrust the uniforms for Sanqing Foot Massage to your factory. The price will be as you said."
In this situation, he had no intention of haggling.
Suddenly learning that the other party’s nephew was the owner of Liyuan Farm, he wanted to build a closer relationship.
He didn’t directly approach the young owner of Liyuan Farm, as that would be too presumptuous.
He might just brush it off and not take him seriously.
Building a good relationship with Mr. Zhang from the clothing factory could be useful in the future.
Naturally, after speaking with Zhang He, he immediately greeted Zhang Lin respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s truly an honor."
Zhang Lin glanced at him and shook his hand. After all, this was his uncle’s client, and he had intruded on their business.
Zhang He, observing the owner of Sanqing Foot Massage, knew exactly what was going on.
Just a moment ago, they had been arguing for a long time.
Suddenly, he changed his tune just because of his nephew.
People were just that pragmatic.
But Zhang He wasn’t surprised. After all, in Youcheng, many bosses wouldn’t give him a second glance when they knew he was just a small clothing factory owner.
But once they learned that his son was the head of the tourism bureau and his nephew was the owner of Liyuan Farm, they all tried to get closer to him.
So, he didn’t bother with formalities with the owner of Sanqing Foot Massage. Instead, he called over the sales representative and had them take the man to sign the contract.
For him, the most important thing now was the 2,100 daily orders from his nephew. The small order from Sanqing Foot Massage was insignificant in comparison.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, you two go ahead with your business. I’ll go sign the contract," the owner of Sanqing Foot Massage said with a smile.
For him, meeting the owner of Liyuan Farm and shaking his hand today was already a significant achievement.
This way, once the night market town was built, he could open a branch there. He could see that it would likely become the center of Youcheng, the most important area.
He could then find a reason to visit the farm and meet this person again.
If he could get this person to visit his foot massage parlor, it would be a living advertisement.
When the other Youcheng bosses visited his place, he could boast that the owner of Liyuan Farm also came to his foot massage parlor!
