Chapter 164 - Manufacturing (3)
“I’m sorry . I am already booked . ”
Shu Yan felt regretful about that . But since she wasn’t in a hurry this time, she could very well take the train to City Han the next morning .
She seemed to hear another man’s voice from the other side who had said something to the driver . The driver suddenly changed his tune and said, “Oh, you know my passenger this time . It is the same man as you have ride share with last time . He said he didn’t mind if you ride share with him . Do you still want to go? If so, I can come pick you up . ”
“Yes, I will wait for you in front of Fu Street . ” Shu Yan didn’t think it’d be that man . What a coincident .
Shu Yan had to go merchandizing almost on a weekly basis so JingJing and Tianbo were already used to it . They were able to take good care of themselves without too much prompting from Shu Yan . Shu Yan, worried, repeated the reminders to them again before she went downstairs to wait for the car with a big bag of samples . A small car pulled in front of her not too long after and Feng Zeyu was riding in the passenger seat .
Surprisingly, Feng Zeyu nodded at her when he saw her today .
“Um, thank you,” said Shu Yan softly .
They did not exchange any more words on their way to City Han . When they arrived, Shu Yan said, “I won’t be heading back with you this time . I have a few extra errands to take care of today . ”
“Alright . Then I won’t wait for you . ” The driver nodded .
“Let me pay you what I owe you now then . ” Shu Yan nodded and handed the money over to the driver .
“That won’t be necessary . Mr . Feng had already paid for the entire amount . You can pay him if you want . ”
“That won’t be necessary . Its on our way anyway . ”

This was the first time Shu Yan heard Feng Zeyu spoke an entire sentence . His voice was magnetic and very pleasing to the ears .
“No, that’s not right . You paid for the car but I should split it with you since I rode in it too . Please take the money . ” He refused and Shu Yan shoved the money into his chest before she got out of the car . “Thank you . Have a good day . ”
Feng Zeyu took a look at Shu Yan and quietly accepted the money .
“Mr . Feng… . ”
“It’s fine . Let’s go . ”
After she was done with the merchandizing, Shu Yan brought her sample with her over to a few wholesalers that she was more familiar with . The shop that she always bought from has their own factory; Shu Yan avoided them purposefully . If they have their own factories, they’d just imitate and produce their own anyway . Which was why Shu Yan never planned to reach out to them to begin with .

The other few bosses were just wholesalers so Shu Yan planned to sell out of their storefronts .
“You opened up your own factory already?” One of the boss ladies who was closer with Shu Yan asked .
“No, it belongs to a friend of mine . I’m just helping him out . You won’t need to spend money on inventory . We’ll just leave them here . If anyone like them, you call the factory and we’ll send the products to you right away, or even straight to the customers . You won’t need to do a thing to earn a cut . ” The boss lady agreed immediately after Shu Yan had said that .
It’d cost her nothing . Nothing wrong with leaving them inside her shop . It wouldn’t take much room anyway .
“They look like they’ll sell . Factory price? How much for wholesale? How much for retail?” asked the boss lady directly .
The cost was 7 yuan including labor, materials, rent, and utilities . After discussing with Lao Zhang, they’ve decided factory price would be 13 yuan and as low as 12 yuan if they were to buy a lot . 18 yuan for wholesale price and 35 yuan for retail . That’s what they had set them at but, in reality, they would not be able to monitor the wholesale and retails prices closely .
“That’s a bit on the high end . ” The boss lady was hesitant about it .

“Take a look at this quality . We shoot for mid/high end, not something you’d find on the sidewalks . Your merchandizes are right mid/high ends as well . You won’t like anything on the low end . Besides, you won’t have to pay for them in advance,” said Shu Yan with a smile .
“Alright, give me five sets of each,” said the boss lady seemingly with difficulties .
Shu Yan didn’t have five sets with her . She wasn’t able to carry so much by herself . She left one of each color there and would give Lao Zhang a call after ward to have him send more over .
Shu Yan used the same sales pitch at a few different mid/high end wholesalers’ places and, after she grabbed some more inventory for herself, it was already noon . Shu Yan saw a lot of vendors behind the market and there was a good selection of noodles, rice, shaobing, steamed buns, etc .
Chinese have always been smart . Once the country has opened up, they’d always manage to find a way to become wealthy .
Shu Yan hasn’t had food from street vendors in a long time . She picked a place that looked relatively cleaner and order a noodle dish . It tasted pretty good . She then found a spot where she could take a quick nap before returned to the shops again in the afternoon . Only a few of the shops sold a few of her fall undergarment . The result wasn’t particularly great .
Shu Yan decided to spend the night at City Han and check again the next day before she headed back home .
