Chapter 64 Branding

It turns out that you can tell the difference between pre-prepared meals and the cooking of a Michelin-starred chef, without any prior experience.

Pu Xiang felt the power of his eight-pack abs and felt like he had opened the door to a new world. He began to understand the thinking of those people whose brains were full of yellow garbage.

Of course, just a little bit.

The next day, as soon as Pu Xiang arrived at the store and started working, she immediately forgot about men.

She now manages three stores and has to manage employees, purchase goods, and sort out inventory. She is very busy every day.

In particular, Pu Xiang is planning to open a store in Lin City.

“It’s better to create your own brand.”

Her current model is feasible, but if she wants to expand and sustain it for a long time, branding is extremely important.

At least now that we have a brand, it won’t be so easy to imitate her like the owner of the dry goods store next door did.

"Brand? What is that? A brand?"

Shi Wenya heard her words and asked casually.

Pu Xiang roughly explained that her brand has an original designer, and then she places an order with the manufacturer and puts her trademark on it.

This is easy to understand.

Shi Wenya understood what was said, pointed at Yang Xiaoling, and said, "Ask Uncle Yang. Wasn't he an employee of the clothing factory before? He must know more than us."

That's what I said.

But Pu Xiang was still a little hesitant. If she really wanted to build a brand, she would have too many things to do.

She doesn't want to make a lot of money now. What she has now is enough to provide her with food and clothing for the rest of her life.

"Let's take another look."

Pu Xiang was just about to say this when Yang Xiaoling's father walked in.

Pu Xiang's two stores are connected together, along the street, and are one of the best locations in the entire commercial street of the era.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Yang Luming was smiling. Compared to when his daughter had just divorced, he had fully recovered now.

Everyone in the family can make money, and even though their daughter hasn't found a suitable partner to marry, they, as parents, are not in a hurry.

It’s better not to look for one than to look for one that is not suitable.

Before Pu Xiang opened her mouth, Shi Wenya repeated everything Pu Xiang had said about the brand.

When Yang Luming heard that Pu Xiang was really an expert in the field, he immediately understood what Pu Xiang wanted.

"If you really want to build a brand, it's not impossible. We have a lot of factories here anyway, so you can find any one. The main thing is to have designers. There are a lot of laid-off workers in the factories now, so it's not difficult to poach a few of them."

This……

Pu Xiang was immediately attracted when she heard it.

Yes, she needs it. In her life, she has always wanted to be content with a small fortune. She would be satisfied with owning two stores and being a landlady.

But the opportunity was right in front of her, and she really had to reach out for it. She felt her hands and heart itching.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Pu Xiang suddenly stretched out his hand, clenched his fist and slapped the palm of his other hand.

Fuck.

At most we can hire more people and pay them more wages!

"Uncle Yang, please help me find someone so I can set up a studio here."

Pu Xiang has been thinking about where to rent a place that would be suitable as an office building.

Shi Wenya who was standing next to him was stunned.

Isn't this too efficient?

Just do what you say!

Sure enough, some money should be earned by people like Pu Xiang. If it were her, she would have to think about it for a few days before making this decision!

Yang Luming was still somewhat surprised by Pu Xiang's decision.

But after being surprised, he didn't ask any more questions and went to find someone happily... Not to mention other things, several of his old colleagues have recently resigned.

Everyone has to open their eyes and eat every day. Without a job, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the day.

No matter what, since Pu Xiang has made this offer, it can at least allow people to earn some money for food.

A new busy period has begun. Pu Xiang had originally planned to take a break after the new store opened, but now all her plans have been wasted.

She began a new round of looking for venues and meeting people.

Since she was going to do it, she was prepared to do it properly, registering companies, brands, trademarks, all kinds of things, and she was so busy that it seemed like she had no idea what was going on.

We also need to find a lawyer. How can a company not have someone who understands the law?

Pu Xiang's shop makes money every day, but she feels that the money is spent even faster.

She owed a loan to a credit union, and she had to borrow and repay, and for a while she couldn't get out of the debt situation.

Pu Xiang had some rare free time that day, so she returned to her shop to take a break.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped into the store, I saw an acquaintance.

Zhou Xiaorou.

Mo Yang's ex-wife was released after being in jail for an unknown period of time.

Zhou Xiaorou also saw Pu Xiang and recognized him immediately.

"The boss lady is back. Look, it's been such a short time since we last met, and you've become so amazing."

She acted like a neighbor whom I hadn't seen for a while, but they were still on good terms.

It doesn't seem like he knew that Pu Xiang is now Mo Yang's wife.

Anyone who comes to the door is a guest.

Pu Xiang didn't know what Zhou Xiaorou meant, so she just said, "Buy clothes, take a look and try them on."

Zhou Xiaorou pulled Pu Xiang aside to talk to her again, and they were very enthusiastic.

The weasel paid New Year's greetings to the chicken, and Pu Xiang always felt that the other party seemed to have bad intentions.

But she has no evidence now.

Pu Xiang felt something was wrong, so after talking to the person for a few words, she left, making an excuse that she had something to do.

The salesperson in the store was a newcomer. Shi Wenya was in the men's clothing store next door, so Pu Xiang deliberately turned around and asked Shi Wenya to go over to take care of the store next door.

Special instructions were given to pay attention to money.

Pu Xiang encountered all the problems that one would encounter when opening a store.

There was a thief who came in pretending to be a customer and watched other customers trying on clothes. Once the other customers took off their clothes, she would follow them in to "try on clothes" and then steal from their pockets.

At this time, everyone pays in cash, and some customers are careless and fall into this trap.

Especially, these thieves always take advantage of the time when there are many people around to get in. A bunch of people are trying on clothes, and people go into the dressing room one after another. In the end, no one can figure out who stole the clothes.

By the time the thieves were discovered, it was time to pay the bill, but the thieves had already left after stealing their belongings.

In addition to those who steal money, there are also those who steal clothes.

Especially in winter, I would go in and try on clothes, try on more than ten pieces, and finally secretly wear a thin piece under my own clothes and then go out like that.

In the restaurant that Pu Xiang opened before, the most common problems he encountered were people who refused to acknowledge the bill or people who tried to dine and eat without paying. This was the first time he encountered these minor problems in the clothing industry.

Fortunately, there were always many people in the store from the very beginning, so she was not alone in taking care of it.

In addition, the clothes she makes are of high quality, so the regular customers are old ones. As for the new customers, it is obvious that they are not short of money, and their temperaments are different from those petty thieves.

Paying more attention to each other can help avoid many problems.

Shi Wenya knew Zhou Xiaorou's background. She became someone's stepmother, abused her children, left her husband when they were about to divorce, and even stole his ex-wife's gold jewelry.

In Shi Wenya's opinion, this man is extremely bad.

Seeing Shi Wenya, Zhou Xiaorou was equally enthusiastic. She kept talking to her, and eight out of ten sentences were about Pu Xiang.

Find out how many stores the person owns, how many employees he has, whether he bought or rented the stores, and how much profit he makes.

The more Shi Wenya listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She was already worried, and every time the other party asked her this question, she would just say she had no money.

"We bought the store, but we still owe the bank a loan. It will take at least eight to ten years to pay it back. Otherwise, how can we rural people afford to buy a house in the county town?"

Although what he said is true, it is also an exaggeration.

Zhou Xiaorou didn’t know whether she believed it or not. In the end, she bought two skirts and left.

When Pu Xiang came to the store again in the evening, Shi Wenya told her about this.

"Where did Zhou Xiaorou get the money? She probably didn't have a job, did she? I remember that her relationship with her family was not good. When she was in prison, her family was unwilling to raise her son. In the end, they had no choice but to ask the village committee to step in and let the child live with his grandparents during that time."

Pu Xiang thought about it for a while, and unlike usual, she didn't think it was her business and didn't even bother to gossip. She said, "I'll ask Mo Yang to find out. If she comes again, you should keep an eye out for her."

It wasn't that she meant to make malicious assumptions about people, it was just that Zhou Xiaorou had left a very bad impression on her.

It would be reassuring if you ask around.

Shi Wenya nodded halfway, and suddenly realized: "You seem to have mentioned Mo Yang more often recently. Have you moved to a new house? You guys?"

Shi Wenya had seen Mo Yang's attitude towards Pu Xiang over the past two years.

Sending food, sending drinks, as long as there is something, Mo Yang will take care of it properly.

From her point of view, this is already enough.

If it were her, she would have been moved a long time ago. Except for Pu Xiang, she seemed to think that no matter what others did, it was a normal thing.

Shi Wenya thought that these two people had basically no hope, but she didn't expect that they would succeed.

Pu Xiang admitted it generously: "Well, we are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend."

Although strictly speaking, the two are still in a legal marriage, and they discussed divorce last time, their relationship later changed, so they did not divorce immediately.

Boyfriend and girlfriend.

This is the object.

Shi Wenya didn't know for a moment whether to express envy, but then she thought about herself and realized that after getting married, all she had to do was live her life.

Even before getting married, she was introduced to someone by someone else, and since they were both from the same production team, her parents thought it was okay, and she didn't see any problems, so she agreed.

Then comes marriage and having children.

It’s still better to be with someone nowadays. With this person, you can fall in love, send flowers, watch movies, and do everything.

“That’s great.”

Pu Xiang listened to her sigh and immediately knew what her sister was thinking.

"If you think it's a good idea, talk to your Shi Weiye again... Well, getting married first and falling in love later is pretty romantic."

These words made Shi Wenya blush.

After Pu Xiang finished speaking, he actually took the words seriously.

"Wenya, I'm serious. Although you are married and your children are grown up, you really can't live like an old married couple. After a while, things will get stale at home. Look at the customers in our store. They all have some money. Aren't there many men who have mistresses outside? People, before they had no money, they had no choice. Now that they have money, don't those messy thoughts come out? Life is long, you are not even 30 years old. Think about Zhao Qing, she is only a few years younger than you and she is still in school."

People like her, who are always prepared to break up halfway, can be free to support their men. Shi Wenya must be thinking of spending her whole life with her man and children.

Doesn't this require a lot of effort?

Pu Xiang reminded Shi Wenya that in her memory, Shi Weiye was not a very smart man, but now that he had money, it would not be difficult for someone to coax him if they were willing.

Moreover, Shi Weiye had been hit by a car and died a long time ago, so she had no idea what his future life would be like.

When Shi Wenya heard what Pu Xiang said, she was still laughing, thinking that she was just overthinking.

Considering Shi Weiye's honest character, how could he be associated with having a mistress?

However, reality slapped her hard in the face the next second.

Shi Chuanye had nothing to do with having a mistress, but he went to "wash feet" with someone.
