Chapter 141 Discussing Cooperation
Wei Mingwei arrived first and chose a seat by the window.
Less than ten minutes later, Zhou Shufen pushed the door open and came in.
When Wei Mingwei saw her, he almost didn't recognize her.
Today she was dressed exquisitely, with appropriate makeup, and her long hair was styled in a low bun.
He seemed to have a completely different spirit and energy.
"Ms. Zhou, you're really famous now, the whole country knows you."
Wei Mingwei spoke sincerely.
Zhou Shufen smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, but didn't reply.
She knew perfectly well that given Wei Mingwei's status and position, he would never take the initiative to meet her without a purpose.
"Mr. Wei, you didn't just call me today to offer your congratulations, did you?"
She got straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Wei Mingwei immediately realized that he could no longer beat around the bush.
He stopped smiling and straightened his posture.
"There is indeed something wrong."
"Your design style is very much in line with the tastes of today's young people; it has warmth and attitude. I would like to collaborate with you to promote the brand together."
As he spoke, he took out a business plan from his black leather bag and handed it over with both hands.
Zhou Shufen took the proposal, opened the first page, and carefully read through each page.
At first I was a little hesitant.
After all, Wei Mingwei has a large amount of capital behind him, and cooperation means accepting more rules and constraints.
But when she saw the details in the plan, most of her concerns disappeared.
She closed the file, looked up at Wei Mingwei, and spoke gently.
"I am honored to have Mr. Wei's appreciation."
"I agree to the cooperation."
After saying that, she reached out her hand.
Upon seeing this, Wei Mingwei immediately reached out and grasped it.
The two touched hands, and the cooperation was finalized.
Wei Mingwei not only has a wide network of contacts, but also has extremely strong execution capabilities.
They possess a number of high-quality supply chain channels and media resources.
With such support, Zhou Shufen's brand gained a competitive advantage from the very beginning.
What's even more remarkable is Wei Mingwei's forward-thinking vision.
He's already planning a collaboration model that nobody's doing right now.
In Zhou Shufen's memory, this road later proved to be one of the most profitable tracks.
It's a pity they don't have online shopping yet, otherwise their products would definitely sell even better.
Zhou Shufen didn't rush to mention this idea to Wei Mingwei.
She planned to go back and have a good talk with Guo Zhenyi first.
This matter involves the overall strategic planning for the future, and we cannot act rashly based on a momentary inspiration.
She needs a calm and rational partner to analyze the feasibility.
In this respect, Guo Zhenyi saw things more clearly than she did.
Therefore, it is crucial to listen to his opinion before making major decisions.
When she returned to the hotel, Guo Zhenyi was already waiting for her in the lobby.
He sat on the sofa by the window, holding a newspaper in his hand.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.
Knowing that she had already connected with Wei Mingwei, Guo Zhenyi didn't ask any further questions.
He understood Wei Mingwei's abilities and background, and was also aware of Wei's influence in the industry.
Wei Mingwei is familiar with this area in China, which makes cooperation much easier.
Seeing that he had no objections, Zhou Shufen then went on to explain her next plan.
"We can't rely on physical stores alone; we need to move online."
Her tone was firm, and her eyes gleamed with determination.
"While physical stores are stable, their coverage is limited, and customers must visit in person to understand the products."
"The Internet is different; it has no geographical limitations and can reach people all over the country and even further afield."
This was her conclusion after careful consideration.
It is also an inevitable choice to keep up with the trend of the times.
"Young people nowadays like to gather online, especially on community platforms where they share similar interests."
"We can post on relevant online forums to introduce product features and share design stories."
"We will establish several official QQ groups and invite loyal customers to join, thus forming a preliminary fan ecosystem."
She even considered starting her own shopping platform.
But this matter cannot be resolved in a short time.
Right now, the most important thing is to start the publicity campaign and expand the sales channels.
Guo Zhenyi became more and more interested as he listened.
No one else has taken these approaches yet. If they get there first, they can get other brands to join them in the future.
At this moment, the way he looked at Zhou Shufen was different.
This girl is not only a great designer, but she also has a keen eye for business.
She can not only see the opportunities in front of her, but also predict the trends a few years from now.
Such talent, regardless of the era, would become a leader in the industry.
"Shufen, I think I should give you my executive position. I never even thought of these ideas of yours."
Guo Zhenyi looked at Zhou Shufen with admiration in his eyes.
“I used to think that management relied on experience and seniority, but now I realize that true strategic vision comes from those who can see through the essence of the industry at a glance. And the directions you just mentioned all hit the pain points of the market and even predicted changes in consumer demand in advance.”
"Don't make fun of me. In terms of skill, I'm still not as good as you."
Zhou Shufen responded with a smile.
Guo Zhenyi was silent for a moment, then reached into his inner pocket, took out a credit card, and handed it to her.
"This is the money I've saved over the years, almost two million, and it's all in this card. You can use it first. Let me know if you need more."
For a brand just starting out, advertising is a significant expense.
Zhou Shufen is short of funds.
Seeing how much Guo Zhenyi trusted her, she no longer refused.
He solemnly extended his hand and accepted the card.
"I'll take the money."
Her eyes were resolute.
"I'll pay you back double when I make money."
Guo Zhenyi understood her temperament.
She definitely wouldn't accept it if I told her it didn't need to be returned.
So he didn't say anything like "don't mention it."
He simply nodded slightly, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"Don't I trust you?"
After he finished speaking, he sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
Then they began to add specific suggestions one by one.
"The first batch of products must be designed with a blockbuster mindset; it's better to have fewer than to have too many. Select three main products and concentrate resources on driving traffic. First, create buzz on online platforms, using stories to package the design concept."
With each word he spoke, Zhou Shufen quickly jotted it down in her notebook, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
At that moment, she truly admired Guo Zhenyi.
I only gave a general direction, and he was able to immediately fill in the entire strategy system.
This kind of overall control is not something that ordinary people possess.
"Just keep charging forward, I'll take care of whatever happens."
Guo Zhenyi spoke with conviction.
"Whether you are questioned, suppressed by your peers, or run out of funds one day, just call me first. I may not be able to solve all the problems, but I will definitely stand by your side."
With those words, Zhou Shufen felt much more at ease.
The biggest fear in starting a business is loneliness.
Now, regardless of success or failure, at least there are people backing them up.
This sense of security is more precious than any financial support.
Once the matter was settled, she immediately began arranging the subsequent details of the collaboration.
That afternoon, a meeting was scheduled with the design team to readjust the product schedule.
In the evening, I contacted the photography studio to finalize the time for the sample photo shoot.
The interview was very well received.
