A trade order stuck on pre-production samples

19 August 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about a 420k RMB order stuck on pre-production samples. I cast an I Ching divination and gave six notes.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

Client
It's a Korean brand: [redacted]. The order is confirmed, but our pre-production samples never meet their requirements. The total order is 420,000 RMB, and I really can't judge this on my own.
是一个韩国品牌名:[redacted] 虽然订单下来了,但我们做出来的产前版一直没有达到他们的要求。因为整笔订单涉及到42万rmb的货款,我实在没办法自己判断。

[redacted]. A few notes: 1. There is both reputation and profit, and money is involved. The number I see is 2 — I'm not sure if your payment is in batches, but one batch is 200,000 RMB or 20%. 2. Fire and metal are a proper match, so basically the work meets requirements, but the mutual hexagram shows [redacted] — there are still some parts that don't meet the standard, and they will need to be revised back and forth. 3. Money comes in when metal appears, so funds will come in between August and October this year. 4. Fire and metal represent reputation. Applied to this matter, it might mean they will refer you to others, or this project will become one of your signature works — in short, it adds to your credibility. 5. [redacted] means supervision. This order needs to be handled more carefully, pay attention to details, or communicate frequently with the other party during the process. 6. Beauty and sparkle — either the clothes themselves look good and bright, or they have sequins on them, in any case there's a kind of ornate feel to them.
[redacted]。几个提示: 1 有名有利,且有钱财,钱财的数字看到是2,不确定你们交付的钱是不是分批,其中有一批是20万或者20%。 2 火金是正配,基本是做的符合要求,但是互卦见[redacted],还是有些不达标准的地方,需要来回改。 3 见到金的时候入财,就在今年的8-10月就有钱进来。 4 火金为名气,套在这个事情上可能是会帮你们转介绍,或者这个项目单子可以成为你们招牌之一这一类的事情,总之有贴金效应。 5 [redacted]为监管的意思,这个单子做的就要更仔细,需要注意细节,或者是做的过程里要经常和对方沟通。 6 美和闪亮,要么是衣服本身好看,靓丽,要么是带着亮片之类的,总之有一种挺华丽的意思。

This is what the clothes look like. Very elaborate workmanship.
衣服长这样 很重工
That's incredible. Point 1 might be batch payments but I'm not sure, depends on the bank. Points 2-4 are completely accurate.
太厉害,第一点可能是会分批收款但不确定,看银行安排,2-4完全准确

猫猫道长_宗园🔥:[redacted], 几个提示:1有名有利,…
About point 6 — this client doesn't work with us directly, it goes through a middleman. Technically the middleman is our client. The style they're about to order from us next has shiny sequins on it.
关于第六点,因为这个客户并不是直接对接我们,而是通过一个中间商,合理来说这个中间商才是我们的客户。接下来准备给我们下单的款式是带闪亮珠片的。
