Monday, January 10th.
The last week before winter break.
Even though it was a Monday, SuperX still had hundreds of people lining up early in the morning.
It seems that many people think that there are no competitors on Monday, so they come early to prepare to buy a pair of SuperX. Scalpers also think that today is a good opportunity to stock up on goods, so they not only come themselves, but also bring their families with them.
As a result, the number of people in the store was no less than usual.
There were still 1,500 pieces, and they were still sold out in a few hours.
Three days after opening, the SuperX store has withdrawn nearly 900,000 yuan in cash.
At the same time, foundries are already producing SuperX jeans at full capacity.
The daily output has exceeded 3,000 items, and it is expected that within a week, the daily output will exceed 5,000 items.
The reason why he needs to stock up on such a large amount of jeans is that Xu Yiyang wants to prepare for the next three stores in Zhonghai at the same time.
If the factory still has about 1,500 pairs per day, it will basically be difficult to have inventory. It is better to seize the time now to stock up on a batch. When the new store opens after the year, it will be able to stock up on at least 100,000 pairs of jeans.
Xu Yiyang gave all the 290,000 yuan that the store collected every day to Lin Tianyi to prepare for the new store. Fortunately, the rent was paid monthly and quarterly, and the decoration payment was also paid in batches according to the project stage, so the funds that the store collected every day could be used to prepare the new store. Support the funds needed to open three branches.
In addition, Xu Yiyang transferred 4 million in cash from Jiayang Education, 2 million was used for site selection and decoration of the Zhonghai branch, and the other 2 million was given to Li Xuan for the next stage of OEM costs.
Fortunately, both Jiayang Education and SuperX have stable cash flow. During the winter vacation, Jiayang Education's teaching speed will double, and more than 8 million in tuition fees will be paid by the end of the month. Xu Yiyang will not be too short of cash.
However, if Boss Ma’s Alibaba burns through money too quickly and needs further financing, there will be nothing he can do.
After all, Alibaba's business model is different from Tencent's, and I can't introduce a way for Alibaba to make money.
Fortunately, Boss Ma has been immersed in work and has not contacted him. It seems that he will not be too anxious to raise the second fund for a while.
In this life, Boss Ma's rhythm has been disrupted by himself. In the previous life, he was high-spirited and felt that the entire e-commerce world was in front of him. But in this life, the mysterious Jeremy Xu came up with a business plan that was more complete than Ali's and invested in Given to many investment institutions, Boss Ma suddenly became an inferior in the eyes of capital.
Therefore, he is not as aggressive in doing things in this life as he was in his previous life, and the speed of burning money is also slower.
But this is also a good thing. In his last life, he burned money a bit fiercely. Before he could figure out what was going on at home, he went on a big spree overseas. It is said that in 2000, he had a branch in the United States and dozens of employees. Aren’t you full after eating enough
In the end, the capital chain almost broke, and he went to Sun Zhengyi for financing, and finally passed the death barrier.
After surviving the death crisis, Boss Ma became much more cautious. He cut off his overseas business, calmed down his body and mind, and concentrated on domestic business. Only then did he start to improve little by little. After he started Taobao in 2003, he was out of control. .
…
As the holidays are approaching, there are basically no classes in the school. Except for exams, there are no classes at other times, so the overall situation is more relaxed than before.
However, Xu Yiyang felt relaxed, and the five buddies who slept with him were already going bald from worry.
In order to avoid failing the class as much as possible, they spent all their spare time reviewing their homework and even went to the library together every day.
Although Shen Lele was not as embarrassed as them, she was still a little nervous, so she was seizing all the time to review.
Xu Yiyang was very happy to see these little brothers not forgetting their studies while making money, but when everyone was busy reviewing, he seemed a little alone.
In the past, after lunch or dinner, everyone would brag all the way back to the dormitory and continue to lie down and brag. Now it has become five people reading while eating. After dinner, they go to the library or study room with their books in hand.
After lunch, Xu Yiyang had nowhere to go, so he simply strolled to the woods in the corner of the playground, hoping to see Ning Ruolin's "pet paradise".
During this period, Xu Yiyang gave Ning Ruolin a thousand yuan every month to buy cat food for stray cats, but he didn't have time to come and see the living conditions of stray cats.
Thinking of the winter vacation coming soon, with more than thirty days of vacation, I wonder if Ning Ruolin has thought about how to solve the problem of feeding these cats during the winter vacation.
Arriving at the "Pet Paradise", Xu Yiyang found that the cattery he had ordered was almost full.
There are at least thirty or forty cats and kittens in total.
The weather was cold, and all these cats were huddled behind the glass windows of the cattery, squinting at themselves, not afraid, let alone panic, as if they regarded themselves as air.
Among the cats, Xu Yiyang found a few pig-like orange cats. Looking at their size, it was obvious that Ning Ruolin should take good care of them.
At this time, a small black native dog trotted over. Seeing Xu Yiyang, he paused slightly and became a little wary.
Xu Yiyang waved to it and muttered: "Come here, dog."
The little native dog was unmoved.
At this time, someone shouted from behind: "Xiao Hei."
The little local dog immediately turned his head and ran over happily.
Xu Yiyang looked up and saw Ning Ruolin walking over carrying a SuperX handbag.
The little native dog ran to her feet and kept spinning around, growling very affectionately.
Ning Ruolin smiled at Xu Yiyang and said, "Why are you here?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I have nothing to do. If I have nowhere to go, come and take a look."
Ning Ruolin smiled and asked, "Why don't you know how to rest in the dormitory?"
Xu Yiyang said: "The dormitory is too cold, and all my roommates have gone to review, so there is no point in going back alone."
Ning Ruolin smiled and said, "Classmate Xu Yiyang, are you from the north?"
Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Qilu people, what about you?"
"I'm from the north too." Ning Ruolin smiled slightly and said, "A little further north than you."
Xu Yiyang asked: "Where is it? Ji Province?"
"No." Ning Ruolin said lightly: "Yanjing."
Xu Yiyang frowned: "Then why go to Zhonghai University to study? Isn't Yanjing's Second Foreign Language School pretty good? It's close to home, and there's heating in the winter."
Ning Ruolin said: "The winter in Yanjing is too dry. I always wanted to stay away, so I came to Zhonghai for college."
Xu Yiyang smiled and asked: "You are from Yanjing. Are you still not used to the weather in Yanjing?"
"Not adaptable." Ning Ruolin said: "I have never been accustomed to the weather in Yanjing since I was a child. It was too dry, so I would have dry eczema on my body when I was very young. During the heating season in winter, I would get dry hair after taking a bath. It hurts, no matter how many things I touch, it still feels uncomfortable, and because it’s too dry, it’s easier to get nosebleeds.”
After saying that, Ning Ruolin took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The south is better. It is quite humid all year round and feels very comfortable."
Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "The humidity is quite good, but it's a bit cold. I feel like I can't find any heating source in my daily life, and I basically rely on shaking to keep warm."
"Haha." Ning Ruolin smiled and said, "You are right, there is no heating equipment in the dormitories and classrooms."
While talking, Ning Ruolin took out a large bottle of water and a can of pet food from SuperX's handbag, walked to the cattery, and added water and food to each floor.
Then he took out a small bowl and placed another kind of pet food in front of the little native dog. The little native dog immediately rushed up and ate it.
Xu Yiyang asked her: "With so many cats now, is the cost of living higher?"
Ning Ruolin nodded and said: "The current monthly cost is about three thousand yuan. I mobilized some classmates to donate money in the class, plus the part you gave is enough."
After saying that, Ning Ruolin said: "But two more female cats are pregnant."
Xu Yiyang pointed to the two big orange cats hiding inside and asked, "It can't be these two, right?"
"No..." Ning Ruolin smiled and said, "They are just fat."
Xu Yiyang nodded to himself and said: "Sure enough, the big orange is the most important."
"Ah?" Ning Ruolin asked in surprise, "What is the overall situation that matters?"
Xu Yiyang said: "Orange cats are like oranges. This kind of cat grows flesh like a pig."
Ning Ruolin covered her mouth with the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Haha, that's really what you said! Orange cats are particularly good at eating and growing meat, and can easily grow to more than ten kilograms."
Xu Yiyang nodded and asked her: "By the way, what will happen to the cat during the winter vacation? Who will take care of it?"
Ning Ruolin said: "I asked the aunt in the cafeteria. Her husband is a school security guard and has to stay at the school on duty during the winter vacation, so she won't go home. I gave her five hundred yuan and asked her to help take care of them during the winter vacation. .”
Xu Yiyang said: "How about I contribute some more money? Don't look back and it won't be enough."
"No need." Ning Ruolin said, "It's enough for now. I'll come back to you when it's not enough."
Xu Yiyang said: "Then I will have another cattery custom-made, and they will be placed side by side. I won't be able to live in them for a long time."
There was a hint of surprise in Ning Ruolin's eyes, and then she asked cautiously: "It's not cheap to order such a cattery, isn't it?"
Xu Yiyang waved his hand: "It doesn't cost much. I'll make a call and ask them to help make another one. I think they can come and install it in the next two days."
Ning Ruolin nodded immediately and said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Why are you thanking me? It's not for you to live in."
Ning Ruolin smiled slightly with a blush on her face and said, "Then I will thank you for them."
As she said this, she remembered something and asked Xu Yiyang: "By the way, I'm going to Hong Kong after a week after winter vacation. Did the school tell you what to prepare?"
Xu Yiyang shook his head: "No, they told me to hand in the due materials and apply for a pass before the holiday. I don't even know what I was doing there."
Ning Ruolin stuck out her tongue: "Me too, and I don't want to go at all..."
Xu Yiyang asked curiously: "Why?"
Ning Ruolin thought for a while and said, "Maybe you don't get used to it. I've been there two or three times and I always feel that the surrounding environment and humanistic environment are unfamiliar and difficult to integrate into."
"It's normal." Xu Yiyang said: "After all, the situation is different, the system is different, and the environment in the past few decades is also different. If you watch TV, your son was abducted by traffickers for a few years. When he is found, he will be unfamiliar, and his brain may even be different. I can’t turn around and still want to run away from home, not to mention that Hong Kong has been abducted by the British for more than a hundred years.”
Ning Ruolin nodded slightly: "Yes, you are right."
