The next day, Wang Yitong and designer Lu Sha embarked on a journey to Yiwu together.
Lu Sha is a talented designer who excels at combining traditional elements with modern fashion to create unique and captivating clothing pieces. The two are looking forward to their trip to Yiwu, hoping to find new inspiration and design elements here to inject new vitality into Wang Yitong's clothing brand.
Upon arriving in Yiwu, Wang Yitong and Lu Sha were stunned by the sight. This is the world's largest small commodity wholesale market, boasting a vast array of goods. They visited each store, interacting with the owners and learning about market trends and consumer needs.
In a jewelry store, Wang Yitong saw a unique necklace, which was made up of colorful beads and metal chains and was very unique.
Wang Yitong was immediately attracted to it. She thought to herself: "This necklace is so special. I can combine it with my clothing design to create a unique clothing piece." After discussing with the owner, she bought the necklace and decided to use it as one of the design inspirations for her new series of clothing.
Lu Sha also made some suggestions: "We can incorporate some of Yiwu's specialty products, such as small commodities and accessories, into clothing designs to increase the fun and practicality of clothing."
Wang Yitong was inspired by Lu Sha's suggestions and decided to bring them back to the company to discuss with the design team and develop a new line of clothing products.
During their stay in Yiwu, Wang Yitong and Lu Sha gained an in-depth understanding of the local market and culture. They visited some traditional workshops, interacted with artisans, and learned their skills.
In a wood carving workshop, Wang Yitong saw a master craftsman carving an exquisite wood carving. She was impressed by the master's skills and exclaimed, "Master, your craftsmanship is amazing!"
The master smiled and replied, "This is my lifelong craft, and I hope to pass it on."
Wang Yitong was deeply inspired and decided to incorporate wood carving elements into her clothing designs. After discussing with the master craftsman, she invited him to design some unique wood carving accessories for her clothing brand.
They also participated in some local cultural activities to experience Yiwu's history and culture. At a traditional cultural exhibition, Wang Yitong saw some ancient costumes and accessories with exquisite design and craftsmanship.
Wang Yitong couldn't help but sigh: "These traditional elements are so beautiful. We can combine them with modern fashion to create clothing works with Chinese characteristics."
Meanwhile, at the Yiwu wholesale market, Wang Yitong and Lu Sha selected several designer accessories. During their conversations with the shop owners, Wang Yitong learned that these accessories were all designed by their own team. Impressed by their design skills, she told Lu Sha, "These accessories are very unique and will add a lot of flair to our clothing brand. We could work with them to customize some exclusive accessories." Lu Sha nodded in agreement.
While purchasing goods, Wang Yitong also met a purchasing manager named Liu Pingyang. Liu Pingyang worked for a foreign trade company and majored in international finance. During their conversation, Wang Yitong learned that he had come here because his girlfriend was there. Wang Yitong felt that this 27-year-old was very thoughtful and had a keen eye for the market. His purchasing behavior revealed his ability, but also revealed his inner reluctance.
Wang Yitong took the initiative to hand Liu Pingyang her business card and invited him to join the company as Sales Manager. She believed that Liu Pingyang's vision and ability would surely lead to great success at the company. Liu Pingyang looked at Wang Yitong's business card and gained some understanding of her company. He had recently heard from friends about Panda Coffee in Shanghai, which was said to be very popular. He had never expected the company's CEO to be so young.
Liu Pingyang thanked Wang Yitong for his approval, but said he needed to think about it. Wang Yitong understood his thoughts and told him that she would wait for his news at any time and that she believed he would not be limited to the current purchasing director.
After returning to the company, Wang Yitong and Lu Sha began their intensive work. They incorporated Yiwu's design elements and specialty products into clothing, creating a series of novel styles. These garments were well received by consumers upon their launch. Wang Yitong's brand awareness also increased, and her career achieved new developments. After returning to Shanghai, Wang Yitong's design teams in Shanghai and Chengdu began their intensive work. They incorporated Yiwu's design elements and specialty products into clothing, creating a series of novel styles. These garments were well received by consumers upon their launch. Wang Yitong's brand awareness also increased, and her career achieved new developments.
After Liu Pingyang returned home, he seriously considered Wang Yitong's offer. He wasn't entirely satisfied with his current job. Although his position as purchasing manager was relatively stable, he yearned for greater advancement. He felt Wang Yitong's company offered a good platform for him to showcase his talents.
His girlfriend also supported his decision. She thought Liu Pingyang should seize this opportunity to pursue his dream. So, Liu Pingyang decided to accept Wang Yitong's invitation and join her company.
A few days later, Liu Pingyang called Wang Yitong and expressed his willingness to accept Wang Yitong's invitation. He also asked his girlfriend to join the company. Wang Yitong was happy to accept the offer, as she had secured another employee for the design team.
After Liu Pingyang arrived in Shanghai as the sales manager for Xingyue Group, Wang Yitong requested that the company's three brands, Classy, Baby Gem, and Yunshang Zhimeng, be listed in major shopping malls in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, along with overseas clothing and handicraft platforms. Chengdu, through Zhang Benyuan's connections, and Shanghai and Beijing, through Xu Chengwei's connections, contacted the head of Yintai City's investment promotion department. All three brands, plus Panda Coffee, were successfully listed.
