However, the offline store matter needs to proceed slowly.
Wang Yi plans to spend the next few months selecting locations, decorating, and opening Meiyou specialty stores in first-tier and provincial capital cities.
Then it will be second, third, and fourth-tier cities...
The first batch of offline specialty stores will definitely be Meiyou's direct operations.
Subsequently, third-party investment and franchising can be considered, with Meiyou responsible for management and supply...
With such expansion, there will be more and more places to burn money!
But there's nothing that can be done!
If Meiyou doesn't grow big, it will only be swallowed up!
As for financing?
Meiyou has money in its accounts, and its profitability is considerable, so it's not needed for now.
If they raise funds now, the valuation would be too low, making it not worthwhile.
Once Meiyou grows bigger, they can consider financing if they lack funds.
At this moment, Chen Chuanqing knocked on the door, holding a tablet in his hand:
"Boss, the three designers have made minor revisions to ten designs. Please take a look."
"Okay." Wang Yi took the tablet:
"The first design is excellent, rated S. Together with the three prototypes I provided, make it Meiyou 599. No, use high-count cotton and linen, make it 799!"
The spokesperson has been invited, and it will soon be very popular, so raising the price is reasonable, right!
"The second and third designs are also good, rated A, make them Meiyou 599."
"The fourth design is ugly, cut it."
"The fifth design is acceptable, rated B, make it Meiyou 399."
"The sixth design is barely passable, rated C, make it Qingyou 299!"
"The seventh and eighth designs are too ugly, cut them."
"The ninth design barely passes, rated D, make it Qingyou 199."
"The tenth design is hideous, cut it!"
"Understood, Boss."
Chen Chuanqing firmly noted:
"What about the production volume?"
Wang Yi pondered:
"After the official announcement of the celebrity endorsement, sales won't be bad. Let's produce ten thousand pieces for each design first, then increase it based on sales performance!"
Once the movie is released, Ye Xiaohe and Meiyou's 'pure desire' style will both become immensely popular, and there will be no worries about sales!
Female users care most about brand and authenticity!
"Understood, Boss."
Chen Chuanqing was about to leave when Wang Yi stopped him again:
"Manager Chen, you're familiar with the apparel industry. See if there are any large garment factories for sale, ones with a daily production capacity of over 30,000, the larger the better!"
"The Boss wants to acquire a large garment factory!"
Chen Chuanqing beamed with joy, understanding that Wang Yi intended to make Meiyou bigger and stronger.
If launching the Meiyou mall was just the first step, monetizing traffic.
Signing a spokesperson is the second step, initiating a branding strategy.
Then acquiring a large factory is the third step, expanding the scale!
"Boss, large garment factories with a daily output of over 30,000 are hard to find. Companies like Dongrui and Miansen won't sell."
Chen Chuanqing frowned:
"However, small and medium-sized garment factories with a capacity of around 10,000 are easier to find. Some have larger workshops and plenty of space to add new production lines. If a hanging production line is introduced, the capacity can also reach 30,000!"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"Okay, that's also a method! Find a few more such factories, negotiate prices, and say we want to acquire one!"
"Understood, Boss. The apparel industry is not doing well these days, and many such small and medium-sized garment factories are struggling to make ends meet due to pressure from larger factories, and are waiting to be sold."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Additionally, with a spokesperson, the packaging needs to be changed. I'll send you the new packaging design later, and you arrange for the factory to print it.
Once the old packaging is used up, fully switch to the new packaging. Also, print the promotional posters for the collaboration with 'Love Is Not Blind' and include them in the Meiyou packaging!"
This joint promotion means that every Meiyou garment sold will promote 'Love Is Not Blind' once.
Over a full month, this will surely bring many Meiyou customers to 'Love Is Not Blind'.
When the box office is high, Wang Yi, as a major shareholder, will also get a larger share.
Once 'Love Is Not Blind' becomes a huge hit, this promotion will also benefit Meiyou, acting as a movie merchandise effect!
Turning many movie fans into Meiyou fans and customers.
At that time, Meiyou's brand will be established, becoming the authentic originator of the 'pure desire' style!
All others will be imitations, copycats, just like Adidas King!
It can be said that with this joint promotion, Meiyou and 'Love Is Not Blind' both win!
And Wang Yi, as the boss of Meiyou and the largest investor in 'Love Is Not Blind', is winning big!
After arranging company matters, Wang Yi worked overtime for a while, completing the new product packaging design and adding retouched beautiful photos of spokesperson Ye Xiaohe!
"Xiaohe, it's up to you to bring in the traffic now!"
Wang Yi smiled faintly, sent the new packaging design to Song Sining and Chen Chuanqing, then packed up and left work directly!
Driving past that five-story new office building, Wang Yi was glared at again by the homeowner!
Still resentful that he didn't buy his office building!
Wang Yi was utterly speechless:
"Heh, last time I kindly let you off, and you still hold a grudge?"
"Must you force me to buy your office building too? So that when it's demolished next year, you'll have nowhere to cry?"
Unless absolutely necessary, Wang Yi didn't want to target ordinary people or snatch their demolition opportunities.
For example, the garment factory in the county town, its boss was a runaway defaulter, an unscrupulous owner who didn't pay the workers their hard-earned money.
Wang Yi acquired it directly without any psychological burden.
The Meiyou Building he bought belonged to the sub-district office, not an individual, so it wouldn't affect any individual.
As for the impact on the sub-district?
Once Meiyou grows, the taxes it generates, the employment it drives, and the economy it boosts will far exceed the small demolition fee!
"Old man, once bitten, twice shy. If you glare at me again next time, I'll really seize your office building!"
"Meiyou is expanding too quickly, a six-story small office building is simply not enough!"
In the future, Meiyou will develop towards diversified e-commerce, needing many more people, so buying another office building won't be an issue.
"Garment factory, oh right, hard-earned money!"
Wang Yi suddenly remembered this matter.
The previous boss still owed the workers of Liangcai Garment Factory 550,000 in hard-earned money!
He'd been too busy lately, how could he have forgotten this?
Wang Yi quickly called Zhao Xuan, the manager of Pudong Development Bank:
"Manager Zhao, you haven't left work yet, have you? Prepare 550,000 in cash for me. No, make it 600,000!"
Due to previous cooperation, most of Meiyou's money is now held at Pudong Development Bank.
Tens of millions of funds made Zhao Huan extremely happy:
"No problem, Boss Wang, I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away, and I'll personally deliver it to you shortly!"
"Okay, Liangcai Garment Factory!"
The Lin family.
Lin Shu sat on the balcony, her watery eyes staring blankly at the sunset outside the window, the book in her hand not having been turned for a long time.
From time to time, she glanced at her phone nearby, but there was no movement at all.
Wang Yi had been busy lately; although they chatted a bit every day, it still wasn't enough!
"You big bad wolf, when will you be done being busy!"
Lin Shu pouted.
Although she understood him, she couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
Zheng Rou watched this scene but dared not say anything, only sighing inwardly and then cursing:
"That rascal from the Wang family really stole my precious daughter's heart!"
"It's all our fault for protecting Xiao Shu too well, not allowing early romance, that she was so easily 'fooled' by him!"
"But if you 'fooled' her, at least pay attention to her! Instead, Xiao Shu has been cooped up for ten days!"
"Just as unreliable as Old Lin, utterly consumed by his career!"
"Sigh!"
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Lin Shu quickly picked up the phone.
Wang Yi's voice came from the other end:
"Xiao Shu, where are you? Miss me?"
"Ah, you're back!"
Lin Shu's downcast eyes instantly brightened, and her delicate face was filled with surprise!
