However, these female college student anchors are also very proactive, unlike those seasoned veterans who are excellent at slacking off but have terrible work efficiency.
A few days later, the first female college student anchor came back to report that she had found a brand of stockings, not far from Hangzhou, in Wushang.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong realized that it was Lin Chen's hometown.
If we were to rob his hometown, wouldn't that be the same as getting revenge for the five million we just lost?
So that afternoon, Zhang Yong personally drove to Wushang. It was only an hour and a half drive from Hangzhou, very fast.
I drove there and used my phone's navigation to find the hosiery factory.
I have to say, Xiaomi Navigation is really useful. Although it's a paid service, it's worth the money. It's an essential tool for driving and business trips.
Although Xiaomi Navigation uses the same map as Gaode Navigation, it also integrates with Meituan. Basically, any store that can be found on the map has reviews and ratings from Meituan users.
One can imagine how huge the profits were; Lin Gou made a fortune.
But for users, it is indeed much more convenient. Not only out-of-towners, but even locals can't know as clearly as Xiaomi Navigation.
Zhang Yong found the office of the hosiery factory owner.
"Knock knock knock..."
Who is it?
"Hello Mr. Wang, I am a product manager from Taobao. I would like to discuss cooperation with our factory."
"Wait a moment!"
Zhang Yong heard rustling sounds coming from inside. Two minutes later, a female secretary opened the door.
"Mr. Wang, hello, my name is Zhang Yong, this is my business card."
"Wow, you're actually the general manager of Taobao? Really?"
"Really, really, you can check online, there are photos of me there."
"With your seniority, why are you personally coming down to do business? Taobao isn't doing so well either."
"It's alright, it's alright. The main reason I came here this time is to invite your company to become a supply chain manufacturer for our Taobao Live platform. We will help your factory's products with live streaming sales for free."
"Ah, this..."
"Hmm? Mr. Wang, it's completely free! You don't need to spend a single penny. From what I understand, this is much more cost-effective than what you get on the Panda TV platform."
“That’s true, but Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu have been kind to me, and I can’t do something so disloyal.”
"General Manager Wu? Which General Manager Wu?"
"Mr. Wu Bo, you don't even recognize Mr. Wu?"
"Oh, Wu Bo? Of course I know him, he used to be at Lashou.com. But didn't he go to Meituan? How come he's involved in live-streaming e-commerce?"
When Mr. Wang, the general manager of the hosiery factory, heard this, he felt that the person in front of him was a greenhorn who didn't know anything. Could he be an undercover agent sent by another factory?
"Ahem, well, Mr. Zhang, I have some things to take care of here. Why don't you go back and ask your boss?"
Since the other party had already asked him to leave, Zhang Yong couldn't stay any longer. He could only get up and say goodbye, planning to go back and find out more before making any further decisions.
However, as Zhang Yong stood up, he noticed a sample display case next to him, which contained all kinds of stockings.
"Mr. Wang, do you sell these stockings separately? I'd like to buy two pairs of each."
"That's possible, but the price must be based on the market price, not the ex-factory price."
"Of course."
"Okay, Xiaomei, take Mr. Zhang to the warehouse and pack two pairs of each style. Don't set the price too high, just make it 21 yuan a pair."
Zhang Yong nodded in satisfaction. He had the same prices he used when he sold these stockings on Taobao Live, where they sold for 51 yuan a pair!
However, I must say, it feels really good.
This boss is generous; he gave himself such a big discount.
Xiao Mei led Zhang Yong to the warehouse, where they took two pairs of each style and went to the finance department to settle the bill.
"Oh, Secretary Mei, bringing clients to pick up samples again?"
"Okay, please register this and then issue an invoice."
"Invoice? What invoice? Do we need an invoice for samples?"
"Ahem, I told you to open them, so I opened them. Twenty per pair, forty pairs in total, eight hundred."
"Snatch the young master? Eight hundred?!"
"Is there a problem? Twenty times forty, is that eight hundred? Huh? Is it eight hundred?!"
"Uh, yes, yes, look at my brain, I'll issue the invoice right away."
Finally, Zhang Yong paid the money, picked up a bag of stockings, and left.
However, sitting in the car, Zhang Yong recalled their conversation and felt that something was off.
Xiao Mei watched Zhang Yong drive away and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew~~ They're finally gone."
"Secretary Xiaomei, should I deposit this eight hundred into my account, or should I give it to you directly?"
"Of course it's going into the account! The boss set the price, why are you just giving it to me directly?"
"Hey, no wonder the boss is so successful. He really doesn't hold back when it comes to ripping people off. Stockings that cost less than two yuan to make are sold to customers for twenty-one pairs as samples."
"Be more careful next time, you almost got caught just now."
"Hey, this is the first time I've encountered this situation too. In the past, when you brought customers to pick up samples, I would just register the quantity and the customer's contact information, and that was it. I never charged them any money."
"This time is different. Never mind, I have to go back and report to my boss."
After returning to the office, Secretary Xiaomei overheard her boss making a phone call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wu? This is Xiao Wang, the one who owns the stocking factory."
"Mr. Wang, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"Here's the thing, a customer just came in, claiming to be the general manager of Taobao, named Zhang Yong. He asked me to sell goods on the Taobao live streaming platform. I've already sent him away, but I'm calling you to tell you about it."
"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Wang. Since we're on the topic, let me give you a heads-up. Something big is going to happen in the live-streaming e-commerce sector soon. Just remember one thing: online sales channels can only be provided to our Panda TV live-streaming platform."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that. Thanks for reminding me."
Only after the boss hung up the phone did Secretary Xiaomei sway her hips as she walked in.
"Boss, the matter is settled."
"Hmm, not bad. Remember to tell the security guards not to let just anyone into the factory."
"Yes, but boss, will it cause any problems if you let him take this batch of samples with him?"
"Hey, Xiaomei, you don't understand. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Sometimes, you have to prepare in advance and take precautions. Besides, we sold it to him at a high price. If we didn't sell it to him, he could buy it from a store in the market, right?"
"I understand, it's all thanks to the boss's wisdom."
"Haha, that's right. Go close the door. We weren't finished talking when someone interrupted us. Let's continue."
