259 Wedding Clothes - Part 4
Sunday, continued …
When Hou Yi realised the tailor has finished with Yao Tan the said"Well hurry up and dressed, but we will continue this conversation later.Remember what you told me about how you feel"Hou Yi paused "Sir, what is the time frame that I should tell my brother-in-law for the first fitting for other suits."
"CEO Hou, I was going to suggest tomorrow night at 7pm.I would be able to have the full four suits and the shirts ready by Thursday or Friday this week."
"That quick?"
"That is not quick sir, it is the normal standard for up to 4 suits using standard materials we have on stock."
Yan Tan interrupted as he was finishing changing "And say for material that you have to order special.Does that same four day turn around apply once you have the material?"
"It does. The total time just depends on how long the material takes it come in.I suspect, for the Merino Wool material, once the colour is determined it will take two to three weeks to arrive from the supplier."
"Damn, the tailor that my father has me go to takes at least six weeks for a suit, when the material is in stock, ten to twelve if it is ordered in, and he charges like anything."With the Yao Tan turned and looked directly at Hou Yi.How in the world did his wife find this place.
Yao Tan continued "Say if I placed an order for 10 suits in Merino Wool, with shirts and the like, how long for delivery?"
"Assuming it takes three weeks for the material it would be another 10 days to make that number up."
"Damn, where I have been going would take three months for than number.What about the cost?"
"Say that you go fine merino wool for the suits, fine linen for the shirts and other high quality materials, that size of order would be 10 jackets, 20 pants, 10 vests in case they are required and 40 shirts, and of course silk ties and everything else.A rough guess it would likely be somewhere between 6,000,000 and 9,000,000 for the lot.Of course that is only rough, as it will depend on the material and what I can cut out of it."
"Yi, your wife has found a gem here.You know where I have been going …"
"That place, that even my father has dragged me into."
"Yeah.That amount of items would cost 35,000,000 or more for 10 suits and take 3 to 4 months to be delivered.Sir, you have my measurements, could you please arrange for 10 business suits for me.High level materials, I will trust your judgement, but have the materials confirmed.I will pay you a 1,000,000 deposit, and you can bill the rest to me at XF International."
"You are that certain?"
"Yi, your wife suggested to Amanda to come here for some new suits.She has two already, and they are better constructed than what she was paying five to ten times more for.She was just evasive as to where she ordered from.They can deliver the quality I need so I have no doubt in ordering that amount."
"Well, if he is, do the same for me.I will also pay a 1,000,000 deposit and you can bill the balance to Hou Enterprises.Also please arrange and send all the bills for the sutis and dresses for the wedding to my assistant at Hou Enterprises …"
"I have already spoken to Assistant Wang a couple of weeks ago, when I gave your wife the first draft of the dress designs.So that is no problem."
With that Hou Yi and Yao Tan walked out of the dressing room, and found the women along with the children and James waiting.Rebecca had two other assistants with her."CEO Hou.John will assist you, CEO Yao and your brother-in-law; Jane here will accompany the children to the play area while they are waiting for you to finish; and I will stay with your wife and the ladies to assist them.Your and CEO Yao's bodyguards have reluctantly agreed how they will protect everyone."
Hou Yi and Yan Tan looked at their bodyguards and laughed.Despite their friendship they did not get along and always argued over who would do what.It appeared to both of them, they were being good today given there was three groups to guard.
Hou Yi said, "OK, lead the way, John."
With that the three men left, and the children all wanted to stay however once Jane told them what was in the play area, there was no way that they were staying, given that there was free softdrink and lollies.Anna laughed at the look of terror on her sister-in-laws face at the mention of that much sugar and giggled.
