More than one o'clock in the afternoon, clothing wholesale in Beijing zoo.

market

Compared with the noisy morning, some of the merchants began lunch time after the morning delivery.

The author walked into a shop on the four floor of the foreign trade building, and Mr. Wu, the boss, was sitting at the table, directing the selling of his own waitress.

I pointed to a new year's down jacket on the shelf asking the price. The answer given by Wu boss is: 400 yuan.

In fact, even in the wholesale market of the zoo, the price of a down jacket of 400 yuan this winter is already a basic price, so long as the quality is better, it is hard to find a lower price.

When asked about the rise in clothing prices in the past six months, Wu boss, the merchant of Zhejiang, first summed up in four words: "the price has gone up!" he said, taking down the down jacket, the price almost rose by about 30% compared with last year, and the overall winter clothing is almost 10% to 15%.

Understanding suppliers

As a wholesaler, for boss Wu,

Price increase

The direct source is undoubtedly the upstream supplier.

In the interview, Wu boss told reporters that clothing wholesale business needs to advance several months in advance, in fact, in 5 and June this year when preparations for winter clothing this year, he clearly felt the rise of clothing prices.

By the time of 7 and August, the wool collar of cashmere coat was almost a crazy rise in price every day.

The cost of the entire industrial chain from cotton prices to labor prices.

Rise

How did it go to the wholesaler such as Wu boss? Wu explained to reporters the "doorway", which is not what we expected, and every time the upstream price rises will affect the price of the wholesaler.

The category we operate is relatively simple, so there are so many suppliers, and we have a long-term cooperative relationship.

For a period of time, there is a stable price between suppliers and suppliers, which is similar to futures. Even if there are some special situations, the price of consultation will not change easily.

But the situation in the second half of this year is special. I have been doing some clothing for some years, and I have never encountered such a strong price increase.

We all know that the cost of suppliers has been going up this year, but for a long time they have not exerted this pressure on us. They are also squeezing their profits and can carry them first.

But they also have a range that they can afford. For example, the cost of a garment before is 100 yuan, but the quality of clothes made by 100 yuan now must be reduced.

At this time, he had to raise the price for us.

When it comes to these, I feel Wu boss's understanding of suppliers. "Then what is the way? Now we have difficulties, we can overcome together and tide over the difficulties together."
