Live life share screen file lives excel share. Then everybody can be independent unshare or live sharer. Live share Karna Rajay. Sir. Browse the desktop Browse the desktop. Browse the computer option. So on my phone when I've attended this call and when Baba was sharing earlier I was able to zoom in with the Pinterest. You can zoom in with the pinch because you're on the phone. I can't zoom in the pinch because I'm the desktop. Because your screen is ready for zoom. In zoom out. This way we'll learn also how to do bloody live this. Thing now see so much easy. Everybody can do their own. Animal jute travel crew. But today there is an email saying they have given some comments on this style. And they have given on this style. Sir target. Which mail came yesterday night before they did not say eight dollar is a. Target and this sweat. Just came that email saying they gave some comments. Reduce the rib from hem which is already there because our tech pack having no rebate hem. Now removing half centimeters from neck drop Removing half centimeters from elbow does not really give much of cost saving in the YY. And they have added 4cm sideband in this. Initially. Yeah. If. If I remember it right, isn't it the one which is a liability fabric now it's just lying with them. Yes, yes yes. Liability fabric. For this time we can say. We can. I don't know. Testing be testing may be organic testing organic physical testing. Supply mapping transaction certificate or TC is a transaction certificate showing the spinner has bought the yarn from XYZ mill. This is the whatever is the registration number of gods and all and all that comes. Starting from the Zener to the processor. But there is no way you can test and confirm this is organic, right? 7.27 kilometer. This one is seven. This. This one is eight. Which one is seven? Which one is eight? The sweat. Sweat means the crew. Is that what you mean Babu? Yeah. Yes sir. Sweat sir. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But inorganic. Basically. Sets a precedent. That's the problem. It's a different story. But when you reduce $2 and then you give the next time you're setting an example. But again that's next time we can live with that. Next time later But Abi we have to Mal you have to decide. Non organic we can meet your targets if it's organic we'll need a dollar more. With the mill Mill is willing to start up with us as a test as a test to help support us Millers accepting to wave off. A large part of the upcharge for the organic so in regular we can meet you at $7 regular cotton and recycle poly. Recycle poly that's okay. Organic Poly. Organic. 820Pk200. 290. Is one of the biggest mills in India. I'm talking about buying from QBD Babu I'm not talking about buying from Rajiv. 535 Organic 780. Let him come back. We accepted their target. What is the target? 1013 non recycle. But then somebody has. My thought process is. The fob which I am seeing which I'm selling which they have agreed on right Is is definitely a dollar definitely 50 cents above then what. I'm sure they will come back with decent the problem is the decent quantities are not coming the problem is they're testing us out because of our whatever first season and all sorts of I think we should take the. Dollar non organic and egg dollar to absorb to help start we've reworked with the mill. That is the. That is the last resort But. I want to. If you understand what I'm trying to say. Black is black, white is white. At least we know. We are just trying to service the customer so why would we try to service the customer with the wrong information Correct I agree. It doesn't make sense to me to start the business and tell them that I mean do number. At the back it doesn't make sense to me. Wrong. Basic jersey. This is how you do it. We'Ll have to asking to make the fabric that E King's price we got is. 650. So ask them to be something. You will go and try and sell. It this season is definitely gone this. Season is gone Next season is unable to see. Koi. Production may of milse. They are already market to go. 11. Recycle. Non recycling 1070 or target 1030 at 1050. Yesterday we sent an email. Non recycled at 1030. Right? Right right. So there are ar. If you look at the comments. They. Removed reap from bottom they removed half CM from knee Absolutely. This is the style. Can only meet this price in non. Organic period this is the best that. Can do like it like it. This is a Hurley sample we didn't make crew neck. But we made the hoodie for them. Crew neck method. Send us a digital of the sample. Initially. When you guys had gone earlier that time you guys must have left. They have a crew neck from Haradi and they have a hoodie that we. Hoodie which we made this time. Yeah, yeah. In the same fabric. Correct. So that one must be there from earlier. That's what she must be referring to. Right. But today excel size sample. How does that matter, brother? Side vent at column. So it. How to work on the consumption. Does half centimeter make a difference to your consumption? No. Only thing which will make sensible practical reduction is the hem removal of rib at hem. But if there is no hem at the head, there's no rib at the hem. It's not worth. Our point is costing based on their tech pack not based on the sample we sent initially. So these changes. Join to air join to. Side bend at courses. So hardly. As per sample. Okay, reply. Hi, are you referring to hoodie sample or crew neck sample? They mentioned crew neck. I checked that. They mentioned grunt. That is what. No, that is what I said to Stephanie yesterday also after this mail came in because you were speaking about my reply to Bethany. I said that they want their target is coming in. Almost $3 below the cost that we have quoted. 5 to 6 cents. 5 to 6 cents. They want $8 in organic cotton and we've quoted 10.74. That's almost $3 they want us to reduce which is not. Realistic. We can meet it in non organic. I think my personal viewpoint is. 725. Organic. 820 organic privacy 1065 impossible. 94725 or 940. But that's okay. $9 is our best. And we can tell Stephanie to say that we currently you know we will strengthen our organic cotton supply chain. This is the price that we're getting currently can work on a better price for next season. I mean we have quoted this price. We could. I mean to get to keep the business flowing. We can reduce by another 30 cents. But that is it cannot do better than this. Please handle accordingly. Okay. From our quotation we can we can reduce another 20. Another 30 cents to keep, keep, keep to try and get business. But reducing $2 is impractical. If they can understand it, understand it. If they cannot it they can place it to whomever they want. Okay. Yeah. I accepted 10:30. Sample banaya costing career sample nahimanaya. From our margin. That's it. We are already below cost just to keep our word. But coming down 2.50 is giving from pocket and paying them and getting the. We are not. It's our management will cannot allow this. Will not allow this. We should stick to what we have done. Otherwise they will keep always doubt us what we are capable. What we are doing. You get the picture what I'm trying to say? Correct. We have to try and give him the right stuff. Give them the right stuff. That's why. That's why they are knocking at us. Because I've seen what they make. They make Mountain warehouse. Ah well it's a low price detail now. Not off price but they're a low price. Ah so they're trying to upgrade their product. Talking to us. They'Re trying to upgrade is why they're looking at other suppliers. But the problem is that their upgradation the they cannot roll it out full stores. So what happens is then your quantities will always stay small. So let. Okay. Let it go. It's okay. I'm saying next season now that we. Now that everybody's got a hang of it. We'll be able to pull. That's it. Just to. Just to keep your word. Keep the relationship going. Okay. 7 25, 825, 695 and 795. Difference is. Non organic may 706 or. 858. 725 or 825. They say non organic. 725 or 825. Or organic may. Relationship. From our. Whatever. Forget from wherever that is it. Okay. Just organic. Okay. Take us. Are you clear on this? I'm clear. Babu. Please explain me what I said. Just organic amraji price code kuri940 or 1078. 43035 cent. Explanation. There's no need to write any explanation. This is the best that we can do. Yeah. Adding sideband will. Comments. We have already done the pricing on this. On your tech pack which doesn't have any hem. Adding. Adding side vents will increase the price. Will not reduce the price. Okay. Please refer. Please refer to this tech pack. This photo on which the pricing is based on. There is no hem on this. Correct on adding vent. Adding vents will increase the price. Will increase the difficulty in production. Bye bye. All right.
