Chapter 148 Other Cooperation

   Looking at Yu Yuan's posture, he seems to be planning to turn his store from a retail store into a wholesale supply store, selling clothes to clothing stores all over the country.

  After telling Lan Shu about this, Yu Yuan asked if he hoped that the clothing factory could lower the price of clothes on the basis of the previous agency store?

  Originally, the purchase price of non-direct stores has been set long ago and will not be changed, but the quantity purchased by Yu Yuan is much higher than that of normal stores.

  So Lan Shu has also considered whether it is possible to reduce the price appropriately so that Yu Yuan's purchase price is the same as that of the directly-operated store?

  But after thinking about it for a while, she changed her mind.

  Although Yu Yuan used his relationships and contacts in the industry to quickly help the factory sell goods and speed up the return of funds from the factory.

  But what Lanshu wants to do is the clothing brand 'Yunshu', not just buying clothes for the moment.

  It is of course very good that Yu Yuan has contacts who can wholesale clothing to various provinces and regions.

   But one day, when the fame of the 'Yun Shu' clothing brand spreads across the country, sooner or later, the direct store in his factory and Yu Yuan's wholesale channel will 'collide'!

   When the time comes to conflict, their cooperative relationship will no longer be positive and smooth.

  It is very likely that because of interests, the original friendly and cooperative relationship between the two parties will fall apart, and grudges will become enemies—

  So thinking of the consequences of trying to make money for a while, Lan Shu immediately rejected Yu Yuan's request for a large number of goods on the phone.

   "Boss Yu, why don't we talk about other ways of cooperation..."

   "Oh? What does Director Lan want to talk about?" Yu Yuan was surprised that he had thousands of clothes orders, but was rejected by Director Lan.

   Doesn't she know that as long as this business is completed, he will have more shipment orders in his hands in the future?

  But after being surprised for a moment, Yu Yuan listened to Director Lan's tone, and she seemed to think that the current rejection was not a bad thing?

   Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuan heard Director Lan talking on the phone.

"I really admire you, Boss Yu, for having so many contacts. Boss Yu should also know that our 'Yunshu' garment factory is doing direct-sale stores. The future of direct-sale stores is quite promising, so I want to hire you, Boss Yu, to be our Regional manager in the factory."

"In those areas where our factory's direct-sale stores have not opened, no matter it spans several cities or even multiple provinces, as long as you can develop direct-sale stores for the factory, each direct-sale store sells, deducting the purchase price The resulting net profit will draw two points as a bonus for the regional manager."

  The two points do not seem to be many, but if the number of direct-sale stores in his development area is considerable, and the sales performance in the stores is good.

   In that way, he doesn't even have to worry about the risk of collecting money in time after he wholesales clothing and paying the clothing factory on time, and he can have a steady stream of money in his account!

   What he has to do is to develop direct sales stores, maintain and manage these direct sales stores.

   "I am very interested in the matter of the regional manager." Yu Yuan replied on the phone.

   "I don't know if Director Lan is free to come to Kyoto recently? I will bring a few clothing store owners to meet you, so we can talk about the details of the regional manager."

  After hearing Yu Yuan's request, Lan Shu thought about her recent schedule for a while.

   Next she is going to Linjiang City Machinery Factory, and she should be able to spare time to go to Kyoto later.

   "Okay, let me arrange it here. I'll see you in Kyoto within three to five days." Lan Shu agreed without hesitation.

   Originally, Lan Shu thought that if she came back from Kyoto after the Chinese New Year, if she went there, she would have to wait for the next Chinese New Year.

  But she didn't expect that due to work reasons, she had only left Kyoto for less than a month, and she would go there again—

  Hung up the phone, Lan Shu thought about the current situation in her factory.

  Going to Kyoto this time is not accidental. As the business of the two factories grows, she will go on business trips to more places in the future.

  So from now on, she should start to adjust her mentality and prepare for business trips in various places in the future.

  …

  The next morning, Lan Shu woke up from the small room she rented at Xie Xiaoju's house, went to the county station, and took a bus to Linjiang City.

   There are several shuttle buses from Qingyang County to Linjiang City every day, and the journey takes about three hours.

  When she arrived in Linjiang City, it was almost noon.

   Lan Shu didn't go to the machinery factory immediately, but looked for a place to eat first.

   It won't be too late for her to go when she starts working at the machinery factory in the afternoon.

   Walking out of the bus station, Lan Shu was planning to find a restaurant nearby, but before she could act, she saw He Sunan outside the station gate.

   "Director Lan, I finally got you!"

  He Sunan said, walking quickly towards Lan Shu.

  He was given a holiday by his unit today, and his task was to receive the factory manager Lan of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory.

  Last time, Factory Manager Lan ordered five paper winding machines from their factory, but the machine factory got 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in the account.

   In just a month or so, over 10,000 orders have been delivered. Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory is definitely a major customer of their machinery factory!

  Seeing that He Sunan was deliberately waiting for her, Lan Shu was a little surprised.

   "Is your factory busy today?" she asked.

   "Other people in the factory have jobs, and my time today is all yours, Director Lan!" He Sunan repeated the meaning of the factory leaders in his own words.

   These words sounded consistent with the tasks assigned by the leaders of the factory, but they had the same meaning, but different ways of saying it, and the final results were also different.

   Lan Shu took a second look at He Sunan, she wasn't sure if He Sunan came to pick her up today, was it arranged by the factory, or was it a personal act?

  The former is okay, if it is the latter, there are some problems...

   Lan Shu didn't immediately pursue what He Sunan said, she nodded, "Have you eaten yet?"

  She needs to have lunch first, so that she can go to Linjiang City Machinery Factory to discuss matters in the afternoon.

  He Sunan shook his head, "Director Lan, I will be waiting for you when the first bus arrives at 8:30 this morning."

   So he hasn't had lunch yet.

  Considering that Director Lan didn’t eat, He Sunan suggested—

   "Master Lan, do you want to eat in the staff canteen of our Linjiang Machinery Factory? The food in our canteen is quite good."

  The point is to go to the staff cafeteria to eat, and then you can immediately talk about new orders.

  He Sunan was very interested in the ideas of the new machines in Director Lan's mind.

   "Alright." Lan Shu nodded.

   It just so happens that she is not the kind of person who likes to waste time.

  He Sunan came to pick up people today, and specially rode a bicycle, thinking that it would be more convenient and save time.

  Lan Shu looked at the back seat of the bicycle. After a while, she sat behind the young man's car under his calm gaze.

   It is not too far from the bus station to Linjiang Machinery Factory, it only takes ten minutes by bicycle.

  When the two of them arrived at the factory, they just caught up with the workers’ cafeteria to start serving meals.

   This meal was bought by He Sunan. Originally, Lan Shu wanted to pay, but He Sunan paid the bill first.
