After the two went downstairs, Zheng Yuntao ran over and said, "You guys go first, I'm going to see my uncle."
Lu Yang nodded and went home with Yao Lili first.
Both of them were exhausted and sore all day, so they quickly took a shower and went straight to bed.
When they woke up again, it was already broad daylight. Lu Yang immediately called Yao Lili to get up, as they both still had to go to school.
Lu Yang was somewhat distracted throughout the day at school.
He really wanted to run to the mall immediately and ask the four sales clerks how the clothing sales were today.
He had no trouble selling the goods on the other eight counters he set up.
Because those items have already been sold in shopping malls, there's no worry about sales.
But these two counters are different, since these clothes are all designed by themselves, and it's unknown whether there will be a market for them.
He rushed to the mall as soon as school was over in the afternoon.
When he got downstairs at the mall, he saw Yao Lili getting out of a taxi.
The two met face to face and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
They genuinely wanted to create their own clothing brand, and they knew that building a successful brand would require a lot of hard work.
After entering the mall, the two went straight to those two counters.
They didn't approach the two counters immediately, but observed from the vicinity.
Many people linger at these two counters for a while before asking what brand the clothes are.
After all, ordinary people buy clothes from street stalls. They usually only go to shopping malls when they have some money. Many people still care about brands.
If you ask about clothing, the four waitresses will give you a warm introduction.
Most people lose interest as soon as they hear it's a newly registered small brand.
Only a small number of people with limited budgets will ask about the price if they find the clothes stylish and of good quality.
The two quietly observed the counter for two hours and found that the two counters had only sold five pieces of clothing in total.
This is very rare in large shopping malls, and business is rather sluggish.
This was all thanks to the hard work of the four waiters who promoted it.
Yao Lili couldn't help but sigh, and even fell into self-doubt.
"Could it be that my skills are too poor, and the designs I came up with are bad?"
Lu Yang waved his hand: "It's only the first day. Besides, our brand is not well-known at all, so it's normal that we don't sell much."
"But as long as you can sell them, you'll naturally have repeat customers over time."
"Moreover, if they think it's good and the price is fair, they will definitely recommend it to other friends and relatives."
"Most businesses are developed little by little like this; you need to have enough patience."
Yao Lili glanced at Lu Yang, her eyes sparkling.
She felt that with Lu Yang around, there was nothing to worry about.
Because Lu Yang is always so calm and always there to cover for him.
She smiled, decided to stop watching, and instead took Lu Yang to the restaurant on the first floor for dinner.
There are many restaurants with local Guangzhou specialties on the first floor of the mall, which Yao Lili really enjoys eating at.
The two ordered a few side dishes and chatted while eating, talking about recent interesting things, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
As Lu Yang was eating, he suddenly felt a cold light shooting towards him from not far away.
Lu Yang couldn't help but frown and subconsciously looked in that direction.
But at that time, there were many people in the mall, and he didn't see anyone paying special attention to him.
This left him somewhat bewildered; had he misread it?
Yao Lili looked at him in surprise, wondering why he had suddenly stopped talking.
She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yang shook his head. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, so he didn't tell Yao Lili.
He planned that after a while, once the business stabilized, he would need to take a break, probably because he was too tired.
Little did he know that what he had just witnessed was not his imagination at all, but rather Lu Qing staring intently at him.
Cheng Lin initially supplied goods to only a dozen stores, and the goods he supplied sold out in less than five days after they were delivered.
The shops all found that these goods sold very well, and urged Cheng Lin to stock them up.
Cheng Lin immediately sent over double the quantity of the styles they wanted, and asked Lu Yang to ship them.
Lu Yang handed these purchase orders to the warehouse manager, who then packed the goods and mailed them to the northern region.
Therefore, Lu Qing's business has been very sluggish recently, as the purchasing power of customers in the north is not as strong as that of customers in the relatively prosperous cities in the south.
The market is only so big, and her products aren't particularly outstanding; the surrounding shops are doing better business than hers.
If this continues, she'll soon have to close down.
Left with no other choice, she took a risk and went to ask her customers where they got their goods.
These people told her that the goods were all bought from a Mr. Cheng.
Lu Qing only found out after asking around that this Boss Cheng was Cheng Lin.
Lu Qing knew that Cheng Lin would never supply her with goods, so she had to find her own source of supply.
In order to survive, she had no choice but to risk coming to Guangzhou to find goods herself.
Lu Yang didn't have absolute power in Guangzhou, and she was confident she could find clothes that were both cheap and stylish.
However, this wish was shattered not long after they arrived. The merchants here love to rip off customers from the north, and the goods they sell to them are usually twice as expensive as those sold to locals.
Without a local guide, she almost got scammed.
Feeling down, she decided to come to this shopping mall to clear her head before looking for reliable suppliers. If all else fails, she'll try to make some local friends.
Lu Qing wasn't completely unaware of Lu Yang's situation. She knew that Lu Yang had initially integrated into the local community by befriending locals.
What Lu Yang could do, she could do even more easily.
With that thought in mind, Lu Qing immediately went to the mall, intending to buy a beautiful outfit.
This way, when discussing business with others, people will look at him with more respect.
If Lu Yang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely burst out laughing.
But Lu Yang had no idea that Lu Qing had gone upstairs while hiding in the crowd.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yang and Yao Lili left the mall directly. They strolled around outside for a while before returning home under the cover of night.
She just bought a dress she really liked, and it cost her 500 yuan.
She wouldn't have felt heartache before, but now she feels like her heart is bleeding.
Because her savings were dwindling, she really didn't have much left.
After putting the skirt away and leaving the mall, she returned to her hotel.
After trying on the clothes in front of the mirror, she began to plan who she could use to help her open up the market in Guangzhou.
She currently has two candidates.
