"How about it, Director, my design sketches aren't inferior to your designers, are they?"
"Comrade Xia, we'll buy your sketches for our factory, but the price you're asking for..."
"Director, I'm offering a one-time buyout. If you buy these drafts, you'll have exclusivity. It's spring now, the season when the weather gets warmer, and I can guarantee that as soon as our factory releases this batch of clothes, all the major department stores will be scrambling to place orders.
If you're releasing your spring collection now, any delay will cost you, and I don't need to spell out what that cost will be, do I?"
"That's true, Comrade Xia previously worked in a garment factory, so naturally, you understand the process. But about the price, our factory unanimously finds it high."
