There were twenty-five customers in the first batch of visits, and by the time it was over, eight of them paid and signed the contract on the spot.
Initially, Chen Lishu was still hesitant. After all, the franchise fee of 3,000 yuan may be the entire family's savings for an ordinary family, and would most people give up directly?
But she underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for making money.
As the pace of reform and opening up accelerates, some people around many people have become rich first, and the term "ten thousand yuan household" has gradually spread.
Nowadays, there are people who teach you how to do business step by step, and it is a guaranteed profit-free business. Naturally, the sooner you sign, the better. Who knows if there are enough people in the future, they will recruit franchise stores.
After signing the contract, Chen Lishu handed over the task of guiding everyone to open the store to Zhao Xingwang and Li Qiang.
She and Nan Haitao were going to Kyoto and Magic City.
In the past, Chen Lishu also knew about the entry fees of big brands. Different shopping malls charge different fees. Generally, only first-tier shopping malls charge entry fees. There are also any deductions and the like, but the specific details are not clear.
Nan Haitao only knew a general idea, so the two of them planned to conduct a detailed on-site inspection.
"Are you going to Kyoto and the Magic City?" Gu Xingdong hugged the child and made a move. According to his man's intuition, this matter must not be simple.
He kept his face low and asked as if nothing had happened: "Who is there?"
"Nan Haitao and I."
"Just you two?"
Chen Lishu was packing her luggage and said without raising her head when she heard what he said: "There is also a Xiao Sun from the design department. Aunt Yuan is older. Taking her out can better understand the market demand."
Gu Xingdong lowered his head and kissed his daughter, and said with a smile: "Our little Bai is really a good baby."
The stubble on her chin pricked Xiaobai's chubby face, causing her to frown in disgust.
Even without looking back, Chen Lishu knew that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"The business trip is expected to take half a month. We will go to the Magic City first, and then go to Kyoto. It just so happens that Ruirui will start school next month, so I will pick him up on the way."
During dinner, Chen Lishu briefly talked about her business trip.
Wu Chunmei was a little worried after hearing this: "It will take half a month. The two children are still young. You have so many people, can't you let them do it?"
Gu Xingdong: "Mom, it's Lishu's first time to set up a factory. She needs to learn more about many things. Besides, I still have her at home. I'll just wait until I get on the right track."
Seeing how supportive Gu Xingdong was to her daughter, Wu Chunmei said nothing more.
Chen Lizi raised her head: "Sister, I really want to go to Kyoto and the Magic City."
Wu Chunmei: "Your eldest sister is going to do serious things, so don't let the wind come to you."
Chen Lishu smiled and touched her little head: "I heard that there is a doll shop there that can comb its hair and put on beautiful clothes. I will buy you one when my eldest sister comes back."
"Really?" Chen Lizi has never seen that kind of doll, but she is already looking forward to it after hearing Chen Lishu's description.
The next day Chen Lishu, Nan Haitao and Sun Chang set out for the Magic City.
Sun Chang was the designer introduced by Li Yuanchao. Chen Lishu spent a lot of money to recruit her from another factory. She studied fashion design and also studied for a year in Xiangjiang. Her design style is more avant-garde and bold, and she is similar to Yuan Lihua.
The classic conservatism is exactly complementary.
Xiao Sun is about the same age as Chen Lishu. She has big eyes, plump lips, and healthy wheat-colored skin. She belongs to the glamorous black pearl type.
The three of them bought sleeper tickets, and the environment was many times better than when Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping came before.
After getting off the bus, Nan Haitao's friend, a man named Zhang, came to pick him up.
As soon as the man met, he said, "I was really surprised to hear the news that you resigned and went it alone."
Nan Haitao smiled and introduced several people to each other: "This is the manager Zhang of the textile factory that I told you."
The man is the sales manager of a textile factory, and the two are college classmates and have kept in touch for so many years.
"This is Mr. Chen and Designer Sun from our factory."
When the man saw Chen Lishu and Sun Chang, his eyes straightened for a moment.
Sun Chang has a plump figure, flamboyant beauty, and bold clothing.
With her dark skin and bright yellow skirt, she stood out in the crowd.
From the moment I left the station, I received the attention of many people.
But she herself didn't care.
Compared with her aggressive beauty, Chen Lishu's makeup is low-key, but her temperament is outstanding. She is the kind of girl who is very comfortable at first glance, but can't help but want to look at her more at the second glance.
Realizing his rudeness, the man quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, the two ladies are too outstanding."
His tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of appreciation, without any disgusting and dirty thoughts.
Chen Lishu smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Manager Zhang."
"Hello, Mr. Chen." The man stretched out his hand, half-squeezed Chen Lishu's fingers and then let go.
"It's hot and this is not the place to talk. I've booked a hotel for you. Let's go there first?"
Nan Haitao nodded.
Not long after, Manager Zhang called a taxi and gave the name of the hotel.
Nan Haitao called the man before arriving, so he booked two rooms in advance.
The three of them put away their luggage, washed briefly, and then went downstairs to the restaurant on the first floor.
The man glanced at the direction of his wrist and said: "Before you came, Haitao told me the purpose of your coming here. I also helped to inquire about it. Influenced by the film and television works on the other side of Xiangjiang, more and more people began to follow suit.
We are looking for brand-name clothing, but many big brands are smuggled in, and they are basically not available in major shopping malls. Currently, they are sold in only two places.”
The man then reported two places.
"The prices are ridiculously high. Just sunglasses range from dozens to hundreds. Do you know Pierre Cardin? I have held a costume show in Kyoto before. Some of them I can't even name. They all cost a shirt."
Hundreds of dollars."
The man told everything he knew about the situation.
He raised his hand and looked at the time again, and then said to Nan Haitao very apologetically: "There is something going on in the factory these two days, and I really can't get away. If you are not in a hurry, I will take you there in person in two days."
Nan Haitao: "Thank you very much. You are busy with your work. We probably won't be leaving this week. Let's catch up on old times when you are free."
After the man left, the three of them were not in a hurry to go to the two places he mentioned. Instead, they went back upstairs to have a good night's rest and prepare to go back the next day.
The next day, the three of them packed themselves up, picked up the ready-made clothing samples they had brought over, and then left the hotel.
Mobu is a bustling metropolis. Yesterday, I was tired and hungry because I took the train for two or three days, and I didn't have the time to take a good look at the surrounding environment.
On both sides of the wide road, you can see many advertising walls two or three stories high, including tractors with five-pointed stars, soap ads with glamorous girls, watches, and movie promotion posters.
