"Comrade, if the quantity is large enough and you can get goods for a long time, the price can go down a little..." said the boss.

"Three million copper pieces a year, what is the approximate price?" Liu Chunlai thought for a while, took out the average yield and asked the other party.

"How many?"

The boss was startled.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but that the number is too large.

Three million pieces a year.

And it's just a copper buckle.

Hundreds of thousands a year, this is a big business!

"Three million, this is the smallest amount!" Tian Mingfa was unhappy.

The captain said so clearly.

Can't understand?

How many small metal parts do you need for Chunyu Clothing every year?

Hongqi Machinery Factory has even complained about this matter many times and wants to get this business.

Liu Chunlai did not agree, but still gave it to Hongxing Machinery Factory.

"Boss, there is a teahouse next to it, which is quieter. Why don't we go there and talk in detail?" The owner of the stall's eyes showed a shrewd light, like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep.

His eyes were shiny.

However, this was said to Tian Mingfa.

Tian Mingfa wanted to explain, but Liu Chunlai glared at him.

"Let's go for a walk first..." After receiving Liu Chunlai's instructions, Tian Ming snorted coldly.

The middle-aged boss suddenly became anxious, "Boss, if there is such a large amount, the price is easy to say, copper buckles can be as high as two cents per piece, and aluminum buckles per piece..."

He didn't care about anything else and just gave the price.

There are many people making metal buttons in the market.

As long as you have a punching machine and find a manufacturer that can produce molds, one punching machine can produce tens of thousands of yuan a day!

Liu Chunlai frowned.

"At such a low price? The copper price is not cheap! You might not use iron-plated copper to serve as inferior products, right?" Liu Chunlai asked with a smile.

The boss was immediately angry: "The conscience of heaven and earth! It is definitely the same as these. We are all doing small businesses and want to cooperate in a stable and long-term manner..."

Liu Chunlai was a little shocked when he heard this.

How did their costs be reduced?

Liu Chunlai has not cut prices for a long time, but he is also asking Guo Fengyun to find ways to reduce the cost of various metal buttons.

The price of copper buckle is just the raw material. If you calculate it on average, it will cost about one cent and four cents.

The equipment depreciation costs, labor, electricity costs, factory buildings and other costs have to be included.

Can a price of two cents make a profit?

Liu Chunlai knew very well that state-owned factories have no quality awareness these days, let alone these workshop-style small factories.

But the other party's expression didn't seem to be fake.

"Boss, don't worry, my son turned out to be a technical apprentice in the stamping factory, and the factory is in a downturn..."

As if in order to reassure the group, the boss patted his chest and promised, "Our factory is not far away, and I'll be relieved if I go with me to check it out... We definitely have technical strength!"

Tian Mingfa and Yang Xiaole both looked at Liu Chunlai.

If the price of buttons is really reduced so much, they can save at least more than 100,000 yuan in this area a year.

The more than 100,000 in the 1980s was not a small amount.

If Liu Chunlai had not been asking for the cost reduction, Tian Mingfa and others would not have cared about this little money at all.

Following Captain Liu, he always packs money with big sacks. How can he care about such a number?

"Okay, let's take a look at the market first, and then go to the factory with you." Liu Chunlai said.

The middle-aged stall owner looked at Tian Mingfa reluctantly.

He was muttering in his heart that this person was not sensible at all and the leader didn't say anything.

Being stared at by middle-aged people with anticipation, Liu Chunlai also looked at him. Yang Xiaole's eyes looked like a smile, which immediately made Tian Ming angry: "I didn't listen to what my brother said, go to the market first!"

Middle-aged people almost shouted to the cadre for his benevolence and righteousness.

In order to take care of the other party's curiosity, he actually said to go to the market first.

There are so many people in the market, and the weather is hot, so I wander around and sweat all over.

But thinking about a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, we naturally cannot give up like this.

He turned around and told a simple and thin woman at the stall that she gave a few words, and then accompanied her to the market.

a

"Boss! Although our market is newly built, our small commodity trading market has been developing for quite some time. In the past, when collective production was produced, the country did not allow small vendors to engage in individual business. Many people carried two baskets or carried frames in order to survive..."

As a local native, the middle-aged stall owner knows it better than Yang Xiaole.

The middle-aged stall owner in front of me has not introduced himself until now.

Perhaps he had forgotten about the big business of hundreds of thousands.

Liu Chunlai and others listened silently, constantly looking at the various goods on the stalls around them.

In the entire market, almost all individual vendors have smiles.

From time to time, the market management cadres with red sleeves on their shoulders greeted the vendors from time to time, took a cigarette handed over by the vendors, and chatted for a few more...

Very harmonious.

The people who bought things in the market were in a hurry and often had a quarrel with their boss about the price of a few cents. In the end, they didn't make any agreement and looked for the next one...

Various common daily necessities can be found in this market.

The stalls are large in size, but there are not many.

There are actually not many retailers here, mainly wholesale, and most of them are small businessmen who come to wholesale in other places.

The stalls are crowded, and most of them are very small in size.

After all, they are all small commodities.

Many stalls have single goods.

Every time I saw Liu Chunlai and others stop in front of the button stall, the middle-aged stall owner next to me became nervous and kept urging me to walk forward.

Liu Chunlai just looked at it, but many of them didn't even ask about the price.

There are many of them that are of poor quality, which can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

"A few comrades, why don't we... let's go out first. The things are almost the same here, and the weather is hot..."

The middle-aged stall owner is very smart.

Naturally, I don’t want the business I haven’t obtained yet to be taken away by my colleagues.

Liu Chunlai ignored him.

Among the three people, Tian Mingfa directly and impatiently rejected the leader who was misunderstood as the leader.

Tian Mingfa was also very embarrassed.

It was finally possible to be the captain's tyrant.

Don’t be thrown aside by the captain because of misunderstanding, who will you cry for?

The market is crowded with people and communication is not convenient, but the accents from all over the world keep coming to your ears, and most of them discuss prices.

Not far from the market entrance, Liu Chunlai met the clothing stall set up by Yang Xiaole here.

There are several stalls connected by a piece of city, and there are racks made of bamboo poles at the back, and various styles of clothing are hung.

"The market profit here is not high, but popularity cannot be ignored... so I still built a few stalls."

Yang Xiaole introduced the situation to Liu Chunlai.

The middle-aged man next to him listened silently, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

There were eight stalls connected here, and almost no one in the entire market knew about it.

Could it be that these people in front of you have something to do with Chunyu Clothing Factory?

Thinking of the other party casually saying the number of millions of copper buckles...

But the people at the stall here didn't seem to know a few people at all.

No one came forward to communicate.
