Chapter 43: Unreasonable

Shen Jichuan’s gaze was deep, he suddenly felt that he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.

“Write me a letter when you go back.”

Xia Keqing nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Okay.”

“I’ll definitely write you a letter.”

As for when to write and how to write, that’s her business.

Time is precious, Shen Jichuan obviously came with a mission, he couldn’t stay with her all the time.

However, Shen Jichuan offered to give her and Yu Hong the carriage, Xia Keqing was stunned, “Isn’t this two seats? Aunt Hong bought a standing ticket.”

Shen Jichuan glanced at her, “It’s fine, Little Liu won’t mind.”

Little Liu: …

You’re the Captain, you have the final say.

…

Yu Hong had traveled to Shenzhen so many times to buy goods, she had never bought a sleeper berth before, she was now excitedly touching it, and teased Xia Keqing, “This time I’m lucky because of you.”

Xia Keqing had a thick skin, she didn’t even blush, “It’s all thanks to him.”

People are like that, if you tease someone, and they act embarrassed, you’ll find it funny.

But if the other person doesn’t even blush, what’s the point of teasing?

Yu Hong: …

No, how come you, a little girl, don’t blush at all?

Xia Keqing knew Yu Hong’s thoughts, so she acted so calmly.

The train continued to run smoothly, and Xia Keqing and Yu Hong didn’t encounter anything on the rest of the journey.

Mainly because they were in a separate carriage, which isolated them from a lot of things.

But it was unknown what kind of fate it was, when they got off the train, they happened to meet Han Feng and Yu Xue.

Yu Xue leaned against Han Feng, the two of them were very intimate, attracting the attention of passersby.

Han Feng seemed a little embarrassed, “My girlfriend seems to be a little carsick, sorry, excuse me!”

He supported Yu Xue with one hand and dragged his luggage with the other, looking very flustered.

Yu Hong obviously heard it too, remembering Yu Xue’s arrogant attitude on the train, she muttered, “That woman gets carsick? That’s rare!”

Xia Keqing heard it, frowned slightly, but seeing that Han Feng had already helped Yu Xue leave, she didn’t mind.

“Aunt Hong, let’s go, are we going to the factory or the local stall?”

As soon as she mentioned this, Yu Hong immediately perked up, “It’s best to go to the factory when we get to the original factory, but…”

At this point, Yu Hong’s tone was a little hesitant.

Xia Keqing couldn’t help but ask, “But? What?”

“Aunt Hong, why are you keeping secrets from me?”

Yu Hong “What secrets do I have to keep from you?”

“I’ll tell you the truth, it’s just that our cargo volume is still too small, if it’s a slightly larger factory, they may not be willing to do business with us.”

Xia Keqing suddenly realized.

So that’s how it is.

That makes sense.

Indeed, some factories are large, and they don’t have to worry about selling their goods.

They like to ship large quantities at once to powerful distributors.

As long as the money and goods are exchanged, they don’t care how you sell the goods, or where you sell them.

But her cargo volume with Yu Hong will definitely not be large.

Not only will it not be large, but Xia Keqing plans to open a studio, so she will definitely have her own brand later.

Finding a factory is not only to find a source of goods, but also to find future partners.

She needs to find a factory for her designs.

She is more inclined to those powerful factories.

But just like Yu Hong said, because her scale is relatively small, so at the beginning, if she goes to a large factory, they may not be willing to take her business.

What to do?

But Xia Keqing is definitely not the kind of person who gives up before trying, she is the kind of person who gets stronger with every setback.

“Don’t worry about it, let’s go and find a factory to look at the goods first.”

“If the goods are good, we can always take more.”

Yu Hong looked at Xia Keqing, and couldn’t help but feel that young people are different, they are full of fighting spirit and energy.

She’s really old.

She doesn’t have the drive of young people!

She’s been in business for so many years, and she’s still hesitant, but this also proves from the side that Xia Keqing is definitely not a small fish in a pond.

Yu Hong’s eyes were even more fervent.

She gritted her teeth, “Okay, I’ll take you to the factory first.”

But what she didn’t say was that the goods from this factory were indeed good, but the management personnel were indeed a bit unreasonable.

Before entering the factory to pick up goods, you have to register the quantity of goods and various information.

If the information is not approved, you will not be allowed to enter the factory.

Yu Hong had a bad experience when she first came to Shenzhen.

But it’s just that the clothes from this factory are really good sellers, otherwise she wouldn’t be so resentful and unforgettable.

Later, she found a stall, and the boss revealed that he got the goods from that factory, Yu Hong carefully checked the goods, found that the styles were right, the quality was good, and the price was also reasonable, so she found a “substitute”.

But if she could enter the factory directly to pick up goods, the price could definitely be negotiated down a bit.

This is undeniable.

Aren’t all those who do small business looking for a few pennies?

Who would dislike a higher profit?

This time she came with Xia Keqing, Yu Hong thought, let’s try again, when she first started her business, she encountered that incident, maybe after so many years, that factory has changed?

…

Shenzhen in the 1980s entered a period of rapid development, but in Xia Keqing’s eyes, it was still very backward, the towering buildings and brightly lit streets of the future were almost invisible, it looked like a small town.

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong arrived at Shenzhen Railway Station, then took a bus, after half an hour’s drive, they took another bus to a small factory that looked very dilapidated.

Don’t look at the factory’s dilapidated appearance, but the entrance is spacious, and there are several three-wheeled trucks parked there.

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong looked at each other, Yu Hong coughed dryly, “Don’t look at the factory, it doesn’t look like much, but the goods from this factory are really good.”

“The best shirts, sweaters, and skirts you matched before, they are almost all produced by this factory.”

Fashion is a circle.

Don’t look at it being the 1980s, there’s no lack of people with high aesthetics.

Xia Keqing liked the clothes in Yu Hong’s store, not only the quality was good, the price was cheap, and the styles were also good.

Even if they don’t look very good at first glance, they are actually very good after some modification.

So Yu Hong said so, Xia Keqing was full of expectations for this factory.

“Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look.”

As soon as they approached the factory gate, the old man guarding the gate saw that they were strangers and stopped them.

“What are you here for?”

Yu Hong immediately smiled and said, “Old man, we’re here to look at the goods.”

The old man guarding the gate: “Looking at the goods? Did you contact the factory? I haven’t seen you before, come and fill out some information first.”

Yu Hong heard this, her face immediately changed, she looked at Xia Keqing, her eyes seemed to say, see, I told you so.

This factory is just unreasonable.

It’s said to be filling out information, but it’s actually screening, to see if you have the ability to pick up goods.

If you’re just a small individual buyer, they won’t even receive you.

Actually, people like Yu Hong, who run stalls, in this era, the quantity of goods they pick up is not small, they will basically take two pieces of each style and size, and with so many styles, the total quantity is not small.

But they just don’t care.

Just as Yu Hong was hesitating, Xia Keqing spoke, “Old man, my aunt runs a clothing company, I’m a designer, she came here today to pick up a batch of goods, and I’m here to sell designs.”

The old man guarding the gate didn’t react much when he heard this.

“Fill out the information first, then we’ll talk, I’ll take you in, whether you can go in or not, I don’t have a say.”

Then he ignored them.
