Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 128 126. A Total Opportunist

Towards the middle and end of October, it was cloudy and rainy in Hangzhou and the weather was a little cold.

A little after five in the morning, Xie Yujia, the owner of the night teaching room, got up early and rushed to the stall to put on makeup.

Today is the “unpacking day” for the arrival of new models.

Every time at this time, fashionable women's clothing store owners from all over the country flock to Sijiqing.

As for the front-wearing model, Xie Yujia, who is recognized in the industry for her good looks and neat photography, also welcomed the challenges of a new day.

"Jia Jia, how come your new store is doing so well, why are you going back to your old business?"

The third floor of Sijiqing Garment City.

In a popular women's clothing store, the owner Huang Wenjing greeted Xie Yujia with a smile.

"Sister Huang, you don't understand this, right?"

Xie Yujia turned around. After putting on makeup, every frown and smile of her looked particularly bright and charming.

"Although I am not a model now, I must maintain my sense of beauty when I open a shop! What if I can't keep up with the trend of the times?"

Beauty has no form, and aesthetics is definitely not as simple as a face. Beauty is the specific carrier of social form and the symbol of an era.

Although the words sounded nice, Xie Yujia certainly would not tell the other party the real reason why she came to try out the version.

"You young people are smart."

Huang Wenjing leaned on the shelf and couldn't help but sigh.

"The stage has been set up for you."

"Okay, thank you Sister Huang!"

It was just seven o'clock in the morning and Xie Yujia was already in the store trying on clothes.

More than a dozen shelves are filled with thousands of new clothes, and tens of thousands of new clothes are being shipped in one after another.

There is a height-enhancing platform of about one square meter in the store.

——This is the model’s stage and also her battlefield.

"Who wants this?"

"Me! I want it!"

Xie Yujia's wearing scene is equivalent to an offline catwalk show.

On the small stage, she put on and took off her clothes almost instantly, showing off her new outfits with familiarity.

In the crowded audience, women's clothing store owners from all over the world saw Xie Yujia's outfit and rushed to raise their hands.

They have to make a judgment in a few seconds.

Place your order to grab it, or wait for the next edition.

This is a microcosm of Sijiqing.

Walking into Sijiqing is like entering a maze.

More than a dozen giant clothing malls, hundreds of densely packed clothing stalls, and model show stands are dazzling.

In Sijiqing Zhongzhou Garment City, many stalls are as lively as celebrity meet-and-greet sessions.

Young models were showing off their new clothes on the stage like idols, while fashionable handsome men and beautiful women dressed up as DJs, holding microphones and singing wildly.

It takes five or six seconds to change one piece, more than ten pieces per minute, and hundreds or even thousands of pieces per day.
In this fashion world full of singing and noisy voices, models change clothes quickly, as if they have pressed the fast-forward button on their lives.

"So this is how you worked before?"

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lu Jincheng and his party arrived in Hangzhou as scheduled, and went straight to Sijiqing.

"Yes, it's normal to put on and take off hundreds of pieces of clothing a day. When it's popular, I have to change more than a thousand pieces of clothing."

At this time, Xie Yujia had been busy for more than three hours and tried on more than 300 sets of clothes.

She wore high heels the whole time, and kept taking the clothes handed to her by the shopping guide, putting them on, turning around, and taking them off, showing off the highlights of the new clothes from multiple angles.

As soon as the customer nods or waves, she immediately changes into the next set.

It was not until Wang Rongyue picked up Mr. Lu and his party from Hangzhou Station that she found a few minutes of free time, ran down the display stand, and hurriedly drank two sips of mineral water.

It's approaching twelve noon.

She, Lu Jincheng and others ordered takeout. A bowl of green pepper and shredded pork rice was delivered. Just after she took a few bites, a customer came.

She hurried back to the stage.

On one side there are busy figures on the stage, and on the other side there is cold food.

This is Xie Yujia’s daily life after working hard in Hangzhou for many years.

Mr. Lu stood aside and watched her figure, and suddenly found it very interesting.

When I'm busy, I change more than ten sets in a minute, and on average one style is changed every five or six seconds.

Wearing a printed model may seem glamorous, but it actually requires a lot of energy and physical strength.

I have to stand for more than ten hours a day, and sometimes my back and waist ache and my cervical spine crackles.

Xie Yujian gritted his teeth and started as a model, then gradually accumulated experience and became a Taobao shop owner with outstanding products. It can be seen how much hardship he endured and how many opportunities he seized in the process.

Take her behavior today for example. If it were other partners, they would most likely put aside their work, give priority to Lu Jincheng and others, have a big meal with them, and save face.

But Xie Yujia didn't.

She made a promise to help Mr. Lu investigate the market, so she must do it.

Not only do we have to do it, but we also have to let him see it with his own eyes.

So, she tied up her long hair and returned to Sijiqing.

In the crowded stall, surrounded by piles of clothes, countless young girls with pretty faces and well-proportioned figures like her stood on the stage.

They are very skillful and their speed is amazing. During peak hours, they can produce more than a dozen pictures in a minute.

Here, a set of eye-catching outfits will always draw applause from customers and bosses who come from afar.

Many times, the outfits on this square meter of stage even influence the trend of the women's clothing market.

Everyone nearby knows that when the Sijiqing clothing wholesale market was at its peak, on average each of the 1.4 billion people in the country had one piece of clothing from here.

On this famous "No. 1 Clothing Street in China", wholesalers from all over the country flock in and leave in a hurry.

They brought the "one outfit and one match" of the stall models out of Sijiqing and to the whole country.

"670 pieces! These are the clothes that Jia Jia ordered!"

The owner Huang Wenjing also shuttles between the stage and the audience. She is not only responsible for sales, but also for connecting with the store's supply chain.

"38 pieces! That's not a big deal."

People in Sijiqing don’t shy away from the topic of making money. In the popular stalls, there are almost no idle people, and everyone in the store is busy like a top.

Lu Jincheng was watching from the side, seeing Xie Yujia trying on the pattern on the stage and then jumping off the stage to help customers choose the style.

Seeing the nice styles she is wearing, many customers would buy dozens or even hundreds of pieces.

A fitting means an opportunity to close a deal.

It may also mean an order amount of more than 10,000 yuan or even 100,000 yuan.

On such a small stage of one or two square meters, young models are creating business worth millions or even tens of millions.

"Sister Huang, how is our business lately?"

Finally finding a break, Xie Yujia wiped the sweat from her forehead and started chatting with Huang Wenjing with a smile.

"is acceptable."

Competitors are enemies, but stockings and women's clothing are two unrelated fields.

Having been a Taobao girl model for so many years, Huang Wenjing and Xie Yujia have a very good personal relationship, so it doesn't matter if she reveals some secrets to the little girl.

"We ship nearly 4000 pieces a day, and our turnover is almost over one million." The women's clothing store named Qiao Lafei is considered to be of a good scale in Sijiqing, and its clothes are sold all over the country.

This store has a fresh Japanese style, and "Unpacking Day" is the busiest day in the store.

Having been in Sijiqing for more than ten years, Huang Wenjing's store has hired many models to wear the clothes. Wonderful on-site demonstrations and customers placing orders for goods have become a daily routine.

"Professional, Sister Jia Jia, just based on your dedicated attitude, if you don't make money, who will?"

An authentic Hangzhou restaurant in Hangzhou.

A few side dishes and Longjing green tea.

Ever since the Night Study Room and [Turning Stone into Gold] reached an in-depth cooperation, Xie Yujia has been helping Lu Jincheng investigate the market for some time.

Wind direction, profits, supply chain, and even traffic flow.

She even contacted the shop owner she had worked with before and insisted on being a model again.

Just to get face-to-face, first-hand, hot and detailed information.

Mr. Lu gained a lot from listening to Xie Yujia’s popular science presentation.

Even the way they addressed her changed from the unfamiliar "Boss Xie" to the intimate "Big Sister".

In fact, given the relationship between the two parties, Xie Yujia didn't need to work so hard.

But she did it anyway.

"It's nothing. It's just cooperation. We should help each other. It's what we should do."

Xie Yujia waved her hand with a sweet smile on her face.

Her cheeks are softly contoured and her apple cheeks are full. When she smiles, she looks like a bountiful harvest, which is pleasing to the eye.

"No, no, no, that's not the same thing."

Mr. Lu is experienced in the business world. He blinked and immediately understood her hidden meaning.

In the adult world, all they talk about are ideologies, but all they think about is business.

Helping others naturally has its limits.

He expected that Xie Yujia could introduce him to one or two supply chain bosses at most, take him to see Sijiqing and understand how the apparel industry works.

As for the details of direction, style, selection, and scale.
All other unknowns will have to wait for Mr. Lu to discuss them himself.

But this is already the utmost that can be done.

But he never expected that Xie Yujia's help could be of this extent.

She brought herself to Sijiqing, personally attended the event, and explained the industry from head to toe in detail.

The only thing missing was to calculate the expected return clearly for him, which made Mr. Lu feel a little impressed.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Well, what she wanted was definitely more than just that.

What is it?

"Thank you for your hard work, boss. Do you have any other cooperation to discuss?"

Lu Jincheng rubbed his chin and asked.

He is used to taking the initiative.

Xie Yujia giggled again, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes."

Her expression was particularly sincere and approachable, her oval face was very pleasing, her smile was bright and charming, and she seemed to have no sense of distance.

"Boss Lu, I'm very optimistic about your future direction. Can I buy a share?"

"What's the plan? Tell me about it."

Lu Jincheng maintained the necessary patience.

"How about 15 percent of the night studio in exchange for 5 percent of your new store?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"That's exactly what it means, Boss Lu."

Xie Yujia's eyes curved, and she added, "You don't have time to be in Hangzhou. Connecting with the supply chain, hiring employees, selecting products, and finding trial models are all tedious and tedious tasks."

"Although these are not things that anyone needs to do, you can rest assured knowing that I can take care of them for you."

"Right?"

Xie Yujia took a sip of tea with a smile, waiting for Lu Jincheng's reply.

At this stage.

The 15 percent of night study rooms, even if the promotion share given to "Turning Stone into Gold" is also included, is still far more valuable than the 5 percent of new stores.

After all, there is no sign of the new store yet.

Besides, he may understand the Internet and be able to manipulate traffic, but whether he can succeed in industry is another matter.

Mr. Lu essentially didn't contribute anything, but just used a concept to get shares in a popular Taobao store in the industry.

Why would a business veteran like Xie Yujia make such a deal?
Lu Jincheng only thought about it for a few seconds and figured out the reason clearly.

After such a long period of cooperation, the Night Study Room, as the first to try it out, has made a lot of money thanks to Mr. Lu's vigorous promotion.

Face-to-face sales, this method is incredibly powerful!

The other party saw the bright future of [Turning Stone into Gold] and its almost unlimited market potential.

But this is only one of the reasons.

No matter how shrewd a businessman is, he cannot guarantee that he will never make mistakes in controlling the market trend.

The main product of the night studio is stockings. Even though such items are varied and unique, their audience is far less than that of mainstream clothing.

Once the trend of seasonal matching is over, or when this kind of dressing is no longer popular, business will easily be affected.

Prepare for a rainy day in advance, be prepared for danger in times of peace and plan for the long term.

Because of this, the smart Xie Yujia urgently needed to find a strong safety rope for himself.

The huge traffic that [Turning Stone into Gold] possesses, coupled with its own experience and sense in the industry, can provide an industry with almost zero risk.

"So you're losing money, thank you, boss."

After a few minutes of silence, Lu Jincheng raised his head.

At the seat, only President Lu remained calm.

Not only were He Ying and Luo Lang, who were on the business trip with him, horrified, but even Wang Rongyue in the night study room widened his eyes.

Why?
Is Xie Yujia crazy?

Is she so optimistic?

"That's not necessarily true. Even if I lose money, I'm willing to accept the loss."

Xie Yujia lowered her head and took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

She is a total opportunist.

When doing business, she not only seeks asymmetric returns all the time, but also understands one thing deeply in practice.

What exactly is a better opportunity.

That is--

There is a little linear return if you fail, but a huge exponential return if you succeed.

Now, of course, she doesn't want to miss it.
