After the contract was signed, the secretary left first.

Brand manager Sister Zhang led two workers around the recording studio, and it was set up in less than an hour.

As for the extra stationery, Sister Zhang was very generous and gave it to Chi Chan and the other two with a wave of her hand.

They also told Chi Chan that if the contract expired, Chi Chan and her team could dispose of the stationery in the recording studio.

While setting up, Chi Chan chatted with Sister Zhang about the district agent matter.

"My mom is also in the stationery business now. I wonder if your company has any regional distributors? I'd like to learn more about that with your company. Later, our family will consider buying a storefront across from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, mainly to sell stationery, magazines and books!"

Sister Zhang's eyes lit up, her face filled with shock.

When I first came across these little guys on Douyin, I thought they were really amazing.

He's still a high school student himself, yet he can teach high school courses.

I initially thought that there was parental guidance behind it.

Unexpectedly, throughout the entire advertising cooperation negotiation period, it was this young girl, Chi Chan, who directly liaised with her.

During each conference call, he speaks with reason, evidence, and clarity.

Are high school students these days really this good?

Back in high school, all I knew was how to wallow in melancholy and sentimentality.

Every day I think about what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...

“Our company has regional agency authorization, which is handled by the sales department. I can give you the contact information of the relevant person in charge.”

Although surprised, Xiao Zhang quickly regained her professional skills and recommended suitable candidates for Chi Chan.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang!"

Chi Chan thanked her.

Xiao Zhang quickly waved his hand.

The company is currently looking to expand its sales network by extending the city-level distributors to district-level distributors.

Chi Chan was lucky to have caught up with the company's policy.

It was just a small favor for her, and she was almost blushing with embarrassment at the girl's sincerity!

Chi Chan acted quickly. After getting the contact information, she contacted the other party as soon as her business was finished. Upon hearing Chi Chan's introduction, the other party knew that the girl was one of the "Learning Makes Me Happy" little teachers who had recently become popular on Douyin.

When the manager heard Chi Chan say that she wanted to open a store near Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School and wanted to obtain the agency rights for their brand in the area, he slapped his thigh and got excited.

The company is implementing plans and policies in this regard, and Chi Chan just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Originally, Chi Chan's qualifications did not meet the application requirements for a regional agent.

However, the company was expanding its business and wanted to reduce the scope of regional agents, extending the point-to-point layout into a network layout to expand the sales reach.

Then the requirements for agents would have to be relaxed a bit.

Moreover, the manager believes that for small internet celebrities like Chi Chan who have their own following and are also students, they are the main target audience and consumer group for their products, making them natural advertisements.

Therefore, the manager is confident that he can apply for the greatest possible discounts and benefits for Chi Chan based on the company's existing policies.

As a result, the manager became even more enthusiastic.

He explained in detail the preferential policies the company has recently offered to merchants regarding district agents, and also carefully told Chi Chan what procedures were currently required.

The first step is to obtain a business license to confirm that the business is operating legally.

Secondly, a fixed sales location is required. In fact, Xiguang has requirements regarding the location, but Chichan will be located near a school in the future, where there is a large flow of people. Although the scale may not be large, the manager can help Chichan to secure a location, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem with the location.

Finally, agency also involves conditions such as brand image and brand promotion, but the manager believes that Chi Chan can solve these problems well.

After a preliminary discussion and reaching an agreement with the manager, Chi Chan began preparations.

But in fact, we encountered a problem right from the first step.

"What? I'm just selling stationery, why do I need a business license?"

Are you going to open another store?

"We're setting up a stall now, and we're still selling very well, aren't we?"

Zhang Qiaoyue couldn't understand why everyone was setting up stalls these days.

You don't have to pay rent for a storefront, and you can sell your wares whenever you want.

She has a tricycle, which makes things even more convenient.

After Zhang Qiaoyue finished speaking, she added, "Nobody wants to buy storefronts near the school."

The main problem is that the storefront is too expensive, and the rent is also expensive, at least a thousand yuan per month. And even at that price, it's in a very remote location, almost a kilometer away from the school gate.

Renting a place nearby would be good, but it's too expensive; the rent would be several times higher than what you pay online.

So everyone thinks setting up a small stall is a good idea, as it saves a lot of money on rent every month!

The owner of the fried chicken shop next door said, "Anyone who buys a shop across from the school is a sucker!"

Chi, the sucker, the cicada: "..."

Chi Chan then realized that the storefronts were already available for sale or rent, but the vendors all felt it wasn't worth it, so they were still observing.

But Chi Chan had no intention of just watching.

Opportunity waits for no one; if we wait any longer, the good storefront will be bought by someone else.

"Mom, let's buy a storefront!"

Chi Chan suddenly said.

"You really have a good mind. You just want to buy a storefront worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Where would our family get that much money?"

Zhang Qiaoyue felt that Chi Chan acted on a whim, was truly not in charge of the household, and didn't know how expensive daily necessities were!

Chi Chan knew perfectly well what Zhang Qiaoyue dared not even think about.

Later on, if the real estate developers and their shops cannot be sold, in order to protect their own interests, they must ensure that the funds invested in the early stage can be recovered quickly.

They don't care whether these street vendors are doing well or not.

In my past life, it must have been shortly after the start of my second year of high school.

Overnight, the stalls and vendors on this open space disappeared.

The businesses directly hired security guards to patrol this open space 24 hours a day, prohibiting anyone from setting up stalls.

The street vendors had no choice; it wasn't allowed at the school gate.

The land here was purchased by the businesses, and if the businesses don't allow it, then there's absolutely no room for negotiation.

There was no such thing as "street vendor economy" back then, and no policies were introduced.

Although Xingcheng City has entered a period of rapid development and has not strictly managed street vendors, this illegal operation has only lasted for a year or two before the government has gradually begun to pay attention to it.

It can be said that the snack businesses near schools have experienced the rise and fall of small vendors, and then the rise and prosperity of shops. Chi Chan witnessed this entire development history during her three years of high school.

Therefore, under strict supervision by businesses in the future, if you still want to do business near the school, you either need to be constantly vigilant of security guards or buy or rent a storefront.

As a result, storefronts that were previously unsellable suddenly became highly sought after.
