The three of them were so excited by Yu Zihan's words that they wanted to open a boutique women's clothing store immediately.
As a result, in just three days, their clothing stall was in short supply. By the fifth day, their stock was almost gone. Not only did they break even, they made double their investment. Yu Zihan hadn't expected this kind of sales speed, so she decided to make another trip to Pengcheng.
Yu Zihan planned to bring Zhou Yiran with her on this trip to Pengcheng. The three of them were students and hadn't been fully committed to the clothing business in recent years. She wanted to focus on training Zhou Yiran in product selection and bargaining skills. This time, Yu Zihan planned to visit Lao Jin to discuss potential collaboration. She also wanted Zhou Yiran to learn more about the high-end clothing market.
If Zhou Yiran can get the hang of it quickly, he can open a boutique clothing store after the New Year.
After Yu Zihan shared her plan with the other three, Zhou Yiran looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "I can do it, trust me." After a few days of training, Zhou Yiran had indeed demonstrated talent far exceeding that of Pei Shuyan and Zhou Bingxuan. Coupled with her approachability, Yu Zian was certain that she was the chosen one to manage the boutique clothing store.
On the one hand, taking the boutique route is a trend in the clothing market. From the early 1990s to more than ten years later, the national demand for clothing was almost abnormal, and almost all the products were high-end. An ordinary piece of clothing could cost thousands or even tens of thousands.
The second aspect is that Yu Zihan took into consideration that Zhou Yiran herself has an aristocratic temperament, and very ordinary clothes would look different on her, making her look very luxurious.
"Starting tomorrow, our stall will not only sell clothes, but also add Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters. Sister Yiran and I will accompany you two to sell goods during the day, and we will go to Pengcheng in the evening.
After we leave, you two should take good care of your things and remember one thing: nothing is more important than your own safety. The capital is our territory anyway, and we'll have someone to help us with anything, so I'm relieved."
Yi Zihan put all the payments for goods from the past few days into the space.
The next day, when people saw the novel Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, and Chinese knots at Yu Zihan's booth, they initially thought they were novel, but no one actively bought anything. However, when they hung the samples on the side of the train, the effect became apparent. People realized that during the important Chinese New Year, having such festive items hanging in their homes would enhance the festive atmosphere.
The prices weren't expensive either. Yu Zihan set the prices: one yuan for a pair of couplets, one and a half yuan for the Chinese character "Fu," and four yuan for the Chinese knot. That added up to two yuan more than the purchase price. They bought 50,000 yuan worth of goods, and if they sold all of it before the New Year, the profit from this alone would be 25,000 yuan. It goes without saying that things that can only be sold during holidays are very profitable.
With these things, the income from their stall is much higher than just selling clothes.
When it was almost time to close the stall in the evening, Yu Zihan and Zhou Yiran once again boarded the train to Pengcheng.
This time they still bought sleeper berths. They did not encounter any strange things on the train and they arrived in Pengcheng smoothly.
Yu Zihan first took Zhou Yiran to the place where they'd previously purchased goods and restocked the same stock as last time. Perhaps because the city had been overhauling the clothing wholesale market, this time around, it felt much more organized than last time. Yu Zihan gave Zhou Yiran the freedom to use her own judgment and order a batch of New Year's clothing.
She followed behind her patiently.
Zhou Yiran finally chose a woolen coat. Yu Zihan, upon seeing Zhou Yiran's selection, already approved of her purchase. However, she looked around and asked her why she had chosen this particular item.
"These coats are very suitable for people of status. Whether they wear them during the Chinese New Year or in the office, they can highlight their status." Yu Zihan agreed with Zhou Yiran's statement.
"Then let's choose some sweaters, pants and shoes to match them." Yu Zihan handed this task over to Zhou Yiran.
In one day, they had visited all the clothing wholesale markets and bought all the goods they needed.
After eating early, the two returned to their room to rest. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, they were exhausted and fell asleep quickly.
Early the next morning, after the two got up and had breakfast, Yu Zihan took Zhou Yiran to Lao Jin's clothing processing factory.
I haven't been here for half a year, and Lao Jin's garment factory has changed a lot compared to before.
After registering, Yu Zihan and Zhou Yiran found Lao Jin's office.
Lao Jin was surprised when he saw Yu Zihan: "Zihan, how come you have time to come?"
"I'm on vacation and came here to purchase some goods. I also came to see you." Yu Zihan said to Lao Jin.
"I noticed that your factory has expanded again. I wonder if your factory is now making orders for others, or if you have your own brand?" Yu Zihan asked.
"Our main business now is taking orders. We want to develop our own brand, but we don't have good designers. It's very difficult." Lao Jin and Yu Zihan seemed to hit it off at first sight. He told Yu Zihan everything he wouldn't easily tell others.
"If I provide you with the design drawings, do I have the priority right to sell the clothes you produce? I want to open a boutique clothing store in the capital, targeting white-collar workers and successful women." Yu Zihan expressed his thoughts.
"Of course you can, but your design drawings must cater to the market." Lao Jin trusts Zi Han very much, but he is business-minded. Favors are favors and transactions are transactions.
"Of course. I'll mail it to you. I'm afraid it's too late this time, but I'll definitely send you a batch of design drawings after the New Year. As for how we can cooperate in the future, we can contact each other by phone, or I'll send my store manager to contact you." Yu Zihan said.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to our collaboration." Lao Jin hadn't expected Yu Zihan to be that quick. After all, he knew it took a good designer a long time to create a piece of clothing, and the concept was only two weeks away. But he still agreed out of courtesy.
"This is my store manager, Zhou Yiran, and this is the famous boss Jin." Yu Zihan introduced the two to each other.
Old Jin had noticed this gentle and intellectual beauty from the beginning. Now, after Yu Zihan's introduction, he extended his hand very gentlemanly: "Nice to meet you, Miss Zhou."
Zhou Yiran extended her hand gracefully and shook hands with Lao Jin: "I hope we can have a good cooperation." Zhou Yiran's performance was within Zi Han's expectations.
"Boss Jin, Manager Zhou will contact you if there is anything in the future." Yu Zihan looked at the two of them, and a strange idea came to his mind.
