Chapter 91:
Something secret happened between the two.
Lin Chengyu sometimes really felt that Fu Ruoyan's mind was twisting and turning, he deliberately told him some things, and some things he didn't say.
His heart can be punished.
When Jiang Xiao was doing business, Lin Chengyu naturally did his best to help him a lot. From the delivery of goods to the sales market, he opened this store, and a huge advertisement outside the mall was also rented by Lin Chengyu.
He didn't do this for Jiang Xiao's gratitude and goodwill. He felt his conscience and said that the purpose was really not that strong.
He can say that he is the person who knows Infinite Choice the most besides Jiang Xiao, because he has witnessed the whole process of this brand, and he hopes that Jiang Xiao will be able to achieve his own success.
But there is Fu Ruoyan, and suddenly there are more people, this person is like a thorn stuck there.
It was not driven away in the first place, and after he proved his ability, it was even harder to let him go.
The so-called peach milk candy and strawberry milk candy he quickly found on the store shelves. This brand of candy is not cheap, but it sells well in school and here.
He wanted to buy two bags to go back.
It's just two bags of candy, Jiang Xiao didn't take the money, just let him take it back directly.
Sugar is delicious, but Lin Chengyu always felt a sour taste in his mouth when he tasted it.
It wasn't the taste of the sugar, it was the feeling in his heart, but because it was given by Jiang Xiao, he ate two pieces, and cherished them and put them away.
Not long after Jiang Xiao's third store opened, a building was completed next to it. There were more and more people in this mall, and his business was getting better and better.
The launch of the membership system allowed Jiang Xiao to gather the first batch of stable customers, and the number of infinitely preferred members quickly exceeded 10,000.
After the previous period of burning money for decoration and distribution, the three stores are making steady profits. The two stores in the university town also brought him a lot of profits. Many orders over there are based on classes or even entire grades. Yes, after establishing a reputation among the students, things are much easier to handle.
The circle of the university town is so large that it can be passed on from one session to the next. After many freshmen have tentatively bought things here, they will buy things here in the future when they need it.
After Jiang Xiao earns money, in addition to paying dividends to Chen Lang and the others according to the contract, everything he can use must continue to be invested in the construction of the new store. He is still habitually frugal and save for the future.
His physical store needs to expand rapidly, which is within Jiang Xiao's range.
This year, the school still gave him a lot of help. The country is also vigorously supporting innovation and entrepreneurship. The local government has preferential loans to support college students' entrepreneurship, and the office space can be rented at a relatively suitable price.
Jiang Xiao's infinite selection is now a small and well-known company. He recruited a group of people, many of whom are still his seniors and sisters. The state of expansion is obvious.
This is already 2008. If you look back and look forward, 2008 is a great turning point and development period for China. Industrial transformation, network upgrades, technological innovations and the soaring housing prices that everyone remembers are all It started this year.
Opportunities are fleeting. For other businessmen, Jiang Xiao can be said to be conservative and stable in many of his actions, but to be honest, there is no permanent stability in the business field. He must take some risks and seize some opportunities. live.
Three stores are far from enough.
Taking the purchase channel as an example, although the sales of the three stores are outstanding compared to similar stores, the total purchase volume is compared to some big brands. "Preferred" is the word, but it is not easy to maintain the price/performance ratio all the time.
If you want to make more money, open source and reduce expenditure are fundamental.
In a certain sense, throttling is to compress the purchase price and reduce the cost. One way is to increase the purchase quantity. If the quantity is large, there will naturally be a lot of room to negotiate the price.
Jiang Xiao often goes to the wholesale market, but the wholesale market is also divided into grades, first, second, and third. Jiang Xiao was in contact with the lowest-level wholesale market when he was in high school, and some stall owners would get their goods there.
Now that he has a store of his own, he can go up. At present, he mainly rotates between the second and the first level. These markets do not receive scattered orders. If it is some small brands and small factories, he can find channels to order directly from the manufacturers. But because of the quantity problem, the price can't be cut down either.
Many of the commodities in his containers are still sold abroad, and the quantity does not reach a certain level. Some large first-tier distributors with resources are not even willing to see him.
The significance of these big distributors is not only about cheaper prices. To make a retail brand bigger, it is very important to have a stable and high-quality supply chain behind it. Everyone has eyes for some good products. Can they be the first to get the goods? No first-hand information and resources are almost the lifeblood of a business.
If Jiang Xiao only wanted to build a few stores, he could be a little rich and choose candy and beautiful decorations for a lifetime there, but his idea was much more than that.
The same is true for open source. If the brand is bigger, he will have more customers and more confidence.
In order to maintain or even improve the cost-effectiveness of his products, and in order to extend his tentacles further, more people are willing to join after the launch of the online store, Jiang Xiao's expansion is an inevitable choice.
Chen Lang, Xu Liang, and others are very capable. They are growing fast, but after all, they are still in college, and they usually have limited time. Ye Miaomiao specializes in art. She is in charge of cosmetics. She has signed several authorized sales contracts for domestic brands. Some of the people in the company are senior practitioners and people who have just graduated, but Jiang Xiao does not know them well, and it will take time.
In contrast, among the people in the company, he still wanted Fu Ruoyan to stand on the front line with himself. His ability and personality were outstanding.
After the business of the store in the University City Mall stabilized, Jiang Xiao thought about it and sent a new store manager over there. He was going to do other more important things with Fu Ruoyan.
His brand and model have basically been formed, and it is not difficult to copy it. The most important thing left is to select the location and implement these things one by one.
Jiang Xiao was familiar with the university town, so he didn't hesitate when choosing a location, but he was a little hesitant when he was outside. Jiang Xiao was familiar with Li City, and he had a list of candidates, but he didn't have a specific decision yet.
Fu Ruoyan also stayed in Lishi for a long time, and he really didn't lie before. He was a truck driver in the city and was familiar with several central areas, and gave Jiang Xiao a lot of advice.
In addition to Lishi, his plan includes Liujiang, the most familiar one, and Shencheng. By the end of this year at the latest, he wants to open the store there.
This year is destined to be a time period for burning money, and it is the only way for him to prepare for so long, from quantitative to qualitative change.
He and Fu Ruoyan talked about their plans and ideas, from the big picture to the small details.
When Jiang Xiao said that he wanted to be transferred from the position of the deputy store manager of that store to himself, Fu Ruoyan agreed without a second thought.
I will be busier in the future, but I can see Jiang Xiao more often.
He likes to see Jiang Xiao like this.
Full of confidence, ambition is accompanied by ability, and his eyes are shining like stars.
Such Jiang Xiao always reminded him of his previous self and kept going forward, but he didn't want Jiang Xiao to encounter his own experience, and he also wanted to protect Jiang Xiao in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to see him realize his dreams and plans step by step.
When Jiang Xiao wanted to expand, Lin Chengyu raised his hands and feet to support him. He had contacted people in advance to say hello to the shops of several big shopping malls in Li City, trying to make Jiang Xiao go as smoothly as possible, but seeing Jiang Xiao transfer Fu Ruoyan to his side, and then two When the individuals are really getting closer and closer, Lin Chengyu's eyes are really dark.
He finally managed to get along well with Xiaoxiao in college, and he was about to see the dawn. Fu Ruoyan, who was inserted horizontally, had to make him grit his teeth and want to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The truth is, Lin Chengyu did secretly check the actual background of this person.
The professor of the school also said that this person's family background is very good, but he stayed by Jiang Xiao's side in this way. Whether it was because of a sense of crisis or because he was afraid that Jiang Xiao's business would be affected by him, Lin Chengyu's choice to check is an inevitable choice.
The end result was as expected, it really wasn't an ordinary person.
The Fu family is really a prominent family in Shencheng, so that Lin Chengyu didn't need to investigate, he just asked someone to ask, and Fu Ruoyan's actual identity was already revealed.
The Fu family runs a film and television company, not a small company. Not only is it very famous in Shencheng, but several of its artists are well-known all over the country. The films it has invested in account for three of the top ten at the box office this year, and the usage rate of the currently online video software is also very high. , is a well-deserved leader in the domestic entertainment industry.
The boss, Fu Zonglin, is a frequent visitor to the entertainment news. He protects his family very well, and the media also manages it well. The situation at home is rarely reported.
But still some news came out.
Fu Zonglin's original wife, that is, Fu Ruoyan's mother, is not an unknown person. She played the heroine of a movie in the 1980s, and the outdated picture quality can't hide her alluring face, attracting a large number of fans, but After she became popular, she retired and married, her career came to an abrupt end, and she missed the road to becoming a peerless movie star.
After marrying Fu Zonglin, the Fu family's company gradually built up relying on her connections in the early stage. Several major projects made a lot of money and began to gain scale. died.
Because she was a popular movie star, even if she retired for many years, the news of her death was still reported. Lin Chengyu found the newspaper of that year, with her stills printed on it, and also took pictures of many fans' distraught faces.
Although the stills are blurry, compared with Fu Ruoyan, you can still see traces of five-point similarity.
Fu Zonglin's company, whose original partner died, became bigger and bigger. He soon married a new wife. This wife was no longer a star. She was very low-key, and there was almost no news outside, but this new wife was born to Fu Ruoyan not long after. a younger brother.
The family seems to have been getting along well all the time, and there is no negative news, but Fu Ruoyan broke up with the family when he was a junior.
After all, Yong Jiang didn't have deep roots in the deep city, so he really couldn't find out too much information. Don't talk about him, it's not so easy for Fu's serious partners to inquire about these family privacy.
From inquiring until now, he only knew that Fu Ruoyan had an investment that failed at that time.
This investment has nothing to do with the Fu family. He accumulated it himself, and the loss is a mess. It is common for people of this age to make some investment and lose money. Families like the Fu family don't care. Many failures are just the learning process. How to deal with it, he never went back to Fu's house, not even to the school.
But that investment also brought a huge trouble. It is reported that Fu Ruoyan even got into a lawsuit because of the failed investment, and even detained him for a period of time. It was solved later, and finally there was no blemish that could not be erased.
But it's hard to say how to solve it. Maybe Fu is rich and powerful, so it may not be necessary to erase this matter directly.
It is very likely that because of this incident, Fu Ruoyan had to take a leave of absence from school.
In Lin Cheng's eyes, this information was gathered and formed into eight big characters - not well-intentioned, very unreliable.
All in all, he is a bad guy, and he will definitely cause trouble when he is around Xiaoxiao.
Must drive him away.
