In the following days, Xu Yiyang's life finally returned to a brief period of peace.
In addition to busying themselves with the Internet cafe in Guangmingli, everyone also has to find time to follow up on the renovation progress of the new Internet cafe, and Xu Yiyang also has to take into account the local promotion effect of CS team games.
Anta spent a lot of money this time, and they also hope to take the opportunity to capture the college student population, so they are also very active in local promotions. Not only do they send people to participate in local promotions, they even give out many small gifts to major campuses.
In addition, every one of their stores in Zhonghai also displays promotional materials related to the CS team competition, which also helps the CS team competition expand its influence beyond the college student community.
It was late November, with more than a month left before the century was over, and the school's student union and youth league committee took turns coming to Xu Yiyang, insisting that he be invited to participate in the final selection of the New Year's Day party program.
Xu Yiyang ignored it, but during the final selection, he and Chen Meng went on stage and said "I Want to Travel" again.
Naturally, the judges of the Student Union and the Youth League Committee did not dare to play with his ideology anymore, and gave Xu Yiyang's cross talk and the other two programs in his class unanimous votes.
As the temperature gradually drops, the clothes of everyone on campus continue to become bulkier.
However, in this wet and cold season, a popular whirlwind quietly blew up on the campus of China Overseas Chinese University.
It is said that girls who have the conditions are now looking for various ways to buy jeans from other regions in order to buy a pair of jeans that cannot be bought in the mainland.
This kind of jeans is very different from the jeans sold in the mainland market. There are basically two types of jeans for women on the mainland market, one is flared pants and the other is fat straight pants.
No matter which one of these two is worn, it will not highlight your figure, but will make you look bloated, thick and short.
But this kind of jeans is different. It adopts a slim design to outline the leg curves as clearly as possible, and even has a certain effect of covering and lifting the hips. In this winter, wearing these pants will make your legs look clearer, even if you are short. Fat people can also appear thinner and have longer legs than other people.
It is said that it is very difficult to buy these pants, and you need to find specialized people to help buy them from Hong Kong or even abroad.
Girls with better family conditions or a wider social circle began to look for partners among their friends and family members who would go to Hong Kong or abroad in the near future, and then asked them to help them buy a pair of jeans.
This is basically the earliest human flesh purchasing agent.
However, these days, there are very few people traveling to and from the mainland to Hong Kong, and even fewer people going abroad, so very few people can find such a relationship and bring jeans back from Hong Kong or abroad.
Those who really can't find a purchasing agent can only ask classmates who can find a purchasing agent for help.
Because the market is so hot, the prototype of a purchasing agent profit chain was naturally born.
It is said that buying one pair costs about 400 Hong Kong dollars, or just over 500 yuan in RMB. However, if you can't find someone to help you buy it, you will need to spend at least 700 to 800 yuan.
A pair of jeans costs seven to eight hundred yuan, which is unbelievably expensive in this era, but because they look so good, many young girls from well-off families are rushing to buy them.
Xu Yiyang heard from Shen Lele that the brand of jeans was Levi's. When she went to the United States, she bought two pairs, one for herself and one for Xu Yiyang.
When he heard this, Xu Yiyang couldn't help but wonder, Levi's probably entered the domestic market two thousand years later, right? Why is it so popular in China and abroad now
So, he asked Shen Lele: "Why did these pants suddenly become popular?"
Shen Lele said: "Ning Ruolin from Class 1 wore one pair, which made other female classmates so envious. Then everyone wanted to buy it, but rare goods are rare. Someone is offering 800 pairs now, but they are not in stock. They have to wait for someone. Go to Hong Kong and buy it back..."
"I'll go..." Xu Yiyang exclaimed, "Why is Ning Ruolin so good at carrying goods?"
Shen Lele asked curiously: "What is the ability to carry goods?"
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and explained: "It is the ability to motivate people to buy certain products."
In later generations, when the Internet celebrity e-commerce model matures, Internet celebrities will often recommend products to fans through live broadcasts. Those with many fans and strong ability to bring goods can even create tens of millions of sales in one hour, and have extremely strong income-generating capabilities.
When Ning Ruolin wears a pair of Levi's jeans, she can actually create a trend in China Overseas, and some girls even spend 800 yuan to buy a pair of the same jeans. This ability to sell goods is indeed very powerful.
Seeing that he seemed thoughtful, Shen Lele couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I was thinking, since Levi's jeans are so attractive to girls, why can't I do something about it."
Shen Lele asked in surprise: "You want to represent this brand?"
Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to be an agent, why would you be an agent for it? I want to quickly create a similar brand before it enters the mainland and seize the mainland market first."
Saying that, Xu Yiyang added: "Look, everyone is chasing Levi's now. In fact, there are only two things they are chasing, one is good looks and the other is famous brands, but good looks must come first, right?"
"Yeah." Shen Lele nodded and said, "The main thing is that they look good, because this kind of thin jeans is more flattering and looks better than bell-bottoms and straight-leg pants."
Xu Yiyang said: "Then let me ask you, for you, if Levi's jeans cost 800 yuan, but other brands with styles, workmanship, and quality that are not inferior to Levi's only cost 150 yuan, you can buy them Which one?"
Shen Lele said without thinking: "I'll buy one hundred and fifty, it's cheap..."
It is estimated that it will take at least two to three years for Levi's jeans to enter the mainland market.
And after it comes in, the price will not be lower than six to seven hundred a pair. At this price, there are too few young people who can afford it.
Xu Yiyang also remembers the era when pirated Levi's were rampant. Almost all the jeans sold in various clothing stores on the streets were fake Levi's.
In this case, why don't you take advantage of the fact that most people don't know what Levi's is and create a brand to replace it
You know, the profit margin of jeans is very large. Under the premise of ensuring quality, the cost of each pair can be less than 60 yuan.
If the quality is lowered, jeans costing 20 to 30 yuan a pair can be made.
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately called Li Xuan, the person in charge of Guancheng Garment, and asked: "Do you have time to visit Zhonghai recently? I have something I want to talk to you about."
Li Xuan said: "Okay, I'm in Ningcheng these days. I just negotiated with a few OEMs and am planning to go back tomorrow. I'm going to refund the ticket now and then look at buying a ticket to Zhonghai tomorrow."
Xu Yiyang said: "Then I will give you a weekend. You can see if there are any planes and come over early."
"good!"
Li Xuan didn't know why Xu Yiyang suddenly asked her to go to Zhonghai.
However, she still went to cancel the ticket immediately, and then inquired about the flight from Ningcheng to Zhonghai.
Unexpectedly, there is actually a flight between Ningcheng and Zhonghai, which is only five or six hours away by train, and the straight-line distance is only about 200 kilometers.
Although the flight was at 7:30 in the morning, she bought a ticket without hesitation.
Today happened to be Friday. Hearing that she would arrive at around 8:00 tomorrow morning, Xu Yiyang decided to get up early, pick up the car and go to the airport to pick her up.
All night long, he was planning to seize the Levi's market. He felt that since he had acquired Guancheng Garments and had people like Li Xuan to help him, the clothing business could be expanded.
Seizing Levi's market is the first step.
After polishing this idea in his mind for a night, it became more and more mature.
…
Early in the morning, Xu Yiyang left his dormitory and drove to the airport.
Li Xuan got up at five o'clock to catch the plane, but during the dozens of minutes of flight, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
When she thought about going to Zhonghai to see Xu Yiyang, she felt particularly energetic and relaxed.
Originally, she never thought that she would be able to see Xu Yiyang before the winter vacation.
After all, in her opinion, Xu Yiyang didn't even have time to take care of a business as big as Jiayang Education, so how could he have time to take care of Guancheng's clothing business.
However, I never expected that Xu Yiyang would ask him to come to Zhonghai to find him.
Although she knew that Xu Yiyang was so anxious to come to her and must have something serious to discuss with her, twenty-three-year-old Li Xuan was still as happy as a little girl.
Eight thirty-five.
Li Xuan, who was dressed in Korean style, relaxed, fashionable and beautiful, walked out of the arrival exit of the airport dragging a small suitcase.
Xu Yiyang was waiting in the arrival hall and waved to her hastily when he saw her.
Li Xuan's face was filled with joy, and she ran a few steps as quickly as a girl. Then she realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly slowed down again, taking advantage of the action of straightening her bangs to cover up her inner nervousness.
"Mr. Xu!" When she came to Xu Yiyang, Li Xuan had already returned to her capable self.
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said: "Sister Xuan, welcome to Zhonghai!"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know why Mr. Xu called me here in such a hurry. What's the important matter?"
Xu Yiyang said: "Let's go, let's get in the car and talk."
"good!"
Xu Yiyang easily took the suitcase from Li Xuan and helped her drag it to the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, Xu Yiyang said to Li Xuan: "There is a new fashion trend in our school recently. I think it is an opportunity, so I want to come over and have a chat with you."
Li Xuan asked curiously: "What's the new fashion trend?"
Xu Yiyang asked: "Have you heard of Levi's?"
Li Xuan frowned and said, "I've heard of it, an American denim brand."
"Yes." Xu Yiyang said: "This is the brand that is particularly attractive to female college students now."
With that said, Xu Yiyang started the car and gave her a general introduction to the situation while driving out of the airport.
After hearing Xu Yiyang's idea, Li Xuan asked in surprise: "Then your current idea is to build your own jeans brand?"
I just borrowed a line from "Let the Bullets Fly", so I don't want the chapter to be blocked. I feel like crying without tears.
