I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 54 Machine Arrival

  End of February 1948

  Wu Guangyao nodded secretly looking at the neatly arranged and clean factory buildings, which looked a bit like a modern factory.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

   "Mr. Wu, Omai Business has called, our machinery has arrived at the port, and we are told to receive it immediately!" The office clerk ran downstairs excitedly and said to Wu Guangyao.

   "Great! It was actually five days earlier than expected, and it really went well for Pepsi!" Wu Guangyao's expression was full of joy, and he said to Lin Yueru next to him.

   "Well, after we have machinery, we can make a big splash!" Lin Yueru also raised her brows and echoed.

  The fiancé has been talking about it recently, why is it that the machine is not yet?

  The machinery is shipped directly to the factory by Omai Trading, which saves a lot of trouble.

   "Go call Manager Fu and Manager Li, prepare for the ceremony, and set off firecrackers outside the factory." Wu Guangyao told the staff.

  In the afternoon, with the sound of firecrackers, a machine was moved into the factory.

  Wu Guangyao personally guided the installation and commissioning. After all, he was in an American factory, after professional guidance and practice, there was no problem with the technology.

  After finishing the debugging, guide the staff to operate.

  Everyone is not very unfamiliar with these machines, because the operation manual is already well-known, and even Wu Guangyao often attends classes in person.

  Since then, Wu Guangyao's career can finally show its ambitions.

  After the machine arrives, it will naturally begin to vigorously produce.

  At this time, cheongsam is the most popular for ladies on Hong Kong Island. For families with a little money, women will choose cheongsam.

  So Wu Guangyao has long asked Uniqlo designers to design three fashionable and innovative cheongsams with reference to their own opinions, and they will mass-produce them as soon as the machine arrives.

   Men on Hong Kong Island are the most popular shirts and suits and trousers, which are also an important type of clothing produced by Uniqlo.

  Uniqlo focuses on the mid-to-high-end apparel market. First, it is determined to occupy the Hong Kong island market in one year, and then map the mainland, Dongying, and Southeast Asian markets. The ultimate goal is to sell to Europe and the United States.

"Has the cost come out?" Wu Guangyao asked Fu Hongru, knowing that he is taking the route of high quality and low price. If the cost is too high, the clothing store outside will never choose to cooperate with him. After all, they have tailors. Can also be produced.

  If their costs are low enough, they can go bankrupt. They choose to cooperate with Uniqlo, buy goods from Uniqlo, and sell them in stores.

  "Only approximate statistics. After all, the current production volume is too small, I am afraid that the statistics are not careful. The current cost is about 60% of the same type on the market, but I believe that if the quantity goes up, it can even reach 50%."

   "Okay, we still choose small profits but quick turnover, let those clothing shops rely on our products first."

"Hello boss! I am an employee of Uniqlo garment production company. Our company produces three kinds of cheongsam. Let me show you! Guaranteed good quality and low price!" The boss sells his own products.

  "You young man, we can weave cheongsam by ourselves, how can we buy your cheongsam!" The boss looked upset, this young man was too useless to see!

  "Boss, how about our cheongsam products first, how about it?" The salesperson still responded with a smile. After a long time of training, he would naturally not shrink back.

"Huh, then take a look! I think you are here to hit the market. There are not a few cheongsams on Hong Kong Island, which are better than my Wang Lao Wu!" Wang Lao Wu snorted and took the salesman's hands. The cheongsam, and then deliberately slammed it vigorously, as if to damage the dress on the spot, and then taunted the salesperson.

  I started with high-quality fabrics, and the most eye-catching is elegant peonies, beautiful colors, carefully put the cheongsam in front of my eyes, neat lines and perfect workmanship, this is definitely not what my own tailor can do.

   "This, this, what do you mean?" Although Wang Laowu was surprised in his heart, his face was calm, but his stuttering obviously betrayed him.

"Boss, I have inquired, your cheongsam is generally 4 Hong Kong dollars, your cost (including labor) is about 3 Hong Kong dollars. I can sell you 2.7 Hong Kong dollars, but your external sales price can only It is 3.3 to 3.5 Hong Kong dollars a piece." The salesman said.

  "What? Sell me one for HK$2.7, don't you make money?" At this time, Wang Laowu could no longer control his facial expressions. He was shocked and could not add to it. His cost was almost HK$3.

"Boss, we are a modern factory with assembly line operation. The production cost is lower than your manual production. At the same time, we are also small profits but quicker to sell, so you don't need to worry that we will lose money." The salesperson was confident on his face, and then took two out of the bag. Different styles of cheongsam.

  "We have not only reduced the production cost, but you can also see these styles, which are fashionable and innovative, and the quality is better than yours artificially produced!" The salesman continued, and handed the two styles to Wang Lao Wu.

  Wang Laowu carefully observed the three sets of cheongsam, thinking that he must find the shortcomings of these cheongsams, and calm his injured heart.

After a while, Wang Laowu looked up at the salesperson and pushed the cheongsam back into the salesperson's arms.

  "I will not buy your cheongsam. If I buy your cheongsam, what will my tailor do?" After speaking, he looked resolute, but felt helpless. If this kind of cheongsam appears in the market, my business will definitely be greatly affected.

"Boss, you need to think about it again. If our cheongsam appears in other clothing stores or the shops next to you, but your home does not. I want to ask, how will the business of your shop be?" The salesperson sees the boss. Struggling, threw a big move.

"Our cheongsam is cheaper than yours, the style is better than yours, and the quality thread is even better! At that time, you will be behind other clothing stores. Besides, your tailor can produce low-end clothing!" Sales The member went on to say.

  "How about I buy 50 sets first?" After hesitating for a while, the boss finally said.

   "Of course, I will leave a call for you, if you need to continue to order, please contact us, we are home delivery!"

   "Well, I must contact you if necessary!"

  "Okay, boss. I need to post three posters in your shop to promote our cheongsam, please!" The salesman took out three posters and said to the boss.

   "Ah! Poster, post it! Post it where it doesn't affect me!" Wang Laowu felt that he was on the thief boat.

Such a scene appeared in various large and medium-sized clothing stores on Hong Kong Island. With the advantages of high quality and low price, as well as their inciting eloquence, 12 salesmen of Uniqlo appeared in Hong Kong Island’s large and medium-sized clothing stores. Cooperation.

  As for those who have not cooperated, they probably all chose to wait and see, and I believe they will take the initiative to look for them in the near future!

  The place where three posters were posted on the store, announcing the cooperation with Uniqlo.

  And the poster clearly states that the suggested retail price is 3.3 to 3.5 Hong Kong dollars to prevent price confusion and vicious competition.

  The poster shows three female stars in cheongsam, including Wu Danfeng.

  The current star is quite cheap, 100 Hong Kong dollars a year, as long as she has the time to shoot as many sets as possible.

  "Manager Fu, how are you preparing for the two shifts?" Wu Guangyao called to Fu Hongru and asked

"Mr. Wu, please let go. The workers have expressed their willingness to take turns in the night shift. After all, there is a subsidy for the night shift.” Fu Hongru said with a smile. He originally thought that everyone would boycott the night shift. , To work at night. In the end, the management decided to take turns and everyone was given the opportunity.

"Well, now we will start to produce at full capacity. I have a hunch that our clothing will become popular on Hong Kong Island soon!" Wu Guangyao said, of course he is confident that his garment factory has too many advantages and the price is cheap. The quality is good and the style is new, you can't even think about it.

   "Hao Le, then I will arrange to make sure that the machine does not rest!"

  Currently, the garment factory is fully operating 24 hours a day, and it is no problem to produce 8 to 90 thousand garments a month. However, there are not enough skilled workers. It is good that the monthly production volume can be half.

  Therefore, recruitment is urgent. This time it is no longer limited to Shau Keiwan, and recruitment has also been issued in other places.
