It's still early, and a warm yellow light is left on in the room. Outside, snow is falling gently, drifting onto the windowsill. Beijing is relatively dry, with little rain.
The next day.
Lin Yuxi hadn't gotten out of bed yet when she heard a chattering sound coming from the yard.
She turned to her side; the seat next to her was empty, long since cold, with two red envelopes bearing the words "Happy New Year" pressed on the headboard.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
As is customary, red envelopes are given to children.
The happiest person was Gu Siyan. Although he received New Year's money and red envelopes every year, he did not spend it recklessly. He saved all the money he received in a clipboard.
Lin Yuxi drew back the curtains and saw Gu Siyan building a snowman. It had snowed all night, but the snow stopped in the morning. Wearing thick, warm gloves, he was struggling to dig through the snow.
"Dad, it would be great if there was a toy that could be used for printing. The ones I make myself are really ugly."
It is now 1986, and there are still two years until I start my own business.
That will be the time for complete reform and opening up.
Lin Yuxi had already decided that after the reforms, she would let her brother-in-law start a business together.
Time flies, and the slogan of individual business owners has been widely adopted.
Lin Yuxi gave Gu Xiangyu his first sum of start-up capital, with the primary task being clothing, especially women's clothing.
"The clothes must be promoted well. It would be best to spend some money to hire a few pretty women to try them on on-site. Don't stock those dark and drab clothes; get some colorful ones, jeans, skinny jeans, and the like..."
Lin Yuxi handed him a magazine that she had asked someone to bring back from abroad; the colorful clothes in it were dazzling.
Having worked on ships for so long, Gu Xiangyu had developed an unusually thick skin. He immediately contacted some of his close friends and started signing contracts with them.
Lin Yuxi had provided the initial investment, so he was free to do whatever he wanted with the rest. After all, Lin Yuxi was family, and he couldn't let his sister-in-law suffer a loss.
In the early stages of starting a business, many people are hesitant to go all out, fearing they will lose a fortune.
Only Lin Yuxi persuaded Gu Xiangyu to stock more jeans and tank tops. At first, he was a little hesitant and only ordered five hundred pairs.
As soon as the stall opened, several women displayed their jeans in front of it, and within three hours, all five hundred pairs were snapped up.
Gu Xiangyu's mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse. Compared to other street vendors selling handmade toys, none of them sold as fast as their stall.
On that day, Gu Xiangyu immediately implemented a pre-sale system.
The number tags for the pre-sale jeans have already reached over two thousand, making the stall next door green with envy.
"Brother Yu, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. If they see that our business is doing so well, they will definitely start selling as well. Maybe our business will be bad the next day."
"Yes, Brother Yu, ask your sister-in-law what we should do?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They had all been working on ships with Gu Xiangyu for at least eight or ten years.
Moreover, he is now leading them in business, so they are naturally grateful. To put Gu Xiangyu at ease, they voluntarily signed the contract.
Lin Yuxi said that the style can be flexible, there are many styles of jeans, skinny, flared, straight leg, and wide leg, there are all kinds of styles.
There are also camisoles and dresses. No matter how others imitate them, they are at the top of the clothing industry. In the future, we can also consider signing contracts directly, establishing brands, and setting up dedicated lines.
Two years later.
Lin Yuxi now owns her first clothing brand company and a dedicated clothing manufacturing factory.
Gradually, they started making bags, suitcases, and shoes.
It covers all the basics.
This is just the beginning of a happy life.
