Chapter 23 The Story Behind

The atmosphere is a bit ambiguous, but Wang Ye feels very awkward.

He carefully held Sister Ling's shoulders and felt soft and smooth through a layer of single clothes.

Although he is fickle, he still has his own bottom line. If Sister Ling is from a family, he will never be able to destroy other people's families.

Wang Ye asked tentatively: "It's very hard for Sister Ling to manage the store alone. What does my brother-in-law do? Don't you come to the store often?"

When Sister Ling heard Wang Ye’s question, she looked a little sad. She straightened her head and put her hair in her right hand. After a while of silence, she said: “It’s really not easy for a single woman to do business. He…he is much older than me, and she used to be a bit of real power in the city. No one knows my relationship with him, so of course it’s impossible to make it public.”

He smiled and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile and continued, "I was reported last year, but I was imprisoned for more than ten years. After all, it was a two or three years of intimate relationship. Later, I went to see him and he was much older. I was so energetic before entering, but now... hey..."

Wang Ye immediately understood that many people who look glamorous outside actually have their own hidden secrets behind them.

Although he did not agree with Sister Ling's previous actions, he would not look down on her because of this. Everyone has the right to choose their own life. Some rely on their minds, some rely on their strength, and some rely on their health.

After saying these words, Sister Ling was a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile: "The past is over. Now I am thinking about how to do a good job in business. Now I rely on my own efforts to make a living and don't need to rely on anyone."

Wang Ye nodded in agreement and said, "Sister Ling thinks this way, everything else is false, only your own career can be reliable."

Pause for a moment and then said, "Since Sister Ling doesn't treat me as an outsider, I'll tell the truth."

He took out Huashang's brand album from his backpack and said, "Sister Ling should have known about the company's new brand."

Sister Ling nodded and admitted: "I mentioned it at the launch of Huamei brand new products before the New Year, but the brand was still preparing. Yesterday I called and asked an acquaintance at the company, and I knew a little about it."

"Since Sister Ling understands the situation, I will tell you my own opinion. Huamei is an old brand and wins by quality. The style is really not very fashionable. The company launched Huashang not to be a supplement, but to see the demand in the current market."

He drank a sip of water and continued: "Now the income of residents across the country is growing, and the polarized consumption habits in the past are also changing. The company judges that in the next few years, mid-range brands like Huashang will have a decent quality, very fashionable styles, and moderate price. This is the brand that most consumers need."

Sister Ling nodded frequently, and she continued: "Yes, many customers nowadays need unique styles to buy clothes, and the price is not expensive. The old brands are really not as easy as making money in the past few years."

"This is the so-called consumption upgrade. The trend is irreversible, and we can only adapt to it." Wang Ye said firmly.

"Then Aye, do you think I can build this new brand in the city?" Sister Ling asked affectionately.

"Sister Ling is an old customer of the company, so you will naturally choose first. However, if you are in the city, it is best to be a city agent, which means opening several stores per person and buying out the regional operating rights. Of course, this investment will be relatively large. I looked at the business situation in Huangzhou and had to open three stores before being an agent."

When Sister Ling heard Wang Ye say this, she was a little hesitant and asked in a low voice: "Is it too risky to open three stores? And how much does it cost to invest in it?"

Wang Ye smiled, and he looked at Sister Ling and said, "The three stores are indeed very invested. Judging from the situation in Huangzhou, it is almost 1.5 million yuan, two department stores and one street shop."

"It costs so much!" Sister Ling said in surprise. She said a little embarrassedly: "When he had an accident two years ago, in order to help him, I basically paid back all my previous savings, which can be considered as clearing it with him. Now I only have the money I have earned over the past year, which is only 500,000 or 600,000 yuan."

Wang Ye thought for a while, "Since Sister Ling's situation, I don't recommend you to open it in the city. Think about it, if the city opens a store for you and two stores for others, the distance is not far, you will definitely have competition. I'm afraid that everyone will only focus on grabbing business by then and there will be no profit."

Sister Ling nodded, “Then isn’t it suitable for me to build this new brand in this situation?”

Wang Ye replied: "Of course not. Actually, I suggest that Sister Ling opens a store in the surrounding county town. The price of this brand is not enough for people in County G to afford it. The rent labor there is lower than that in the city, so it may be more profitable than in the city."

"Yes, my hometown is Huang County, 20 kilometers away. I can open a store there. The roads are well built now, and it is very convenient to drive back and forth." Sister Ling said in surprise.

"That's fine. If Sister Ling plans to open in Huang County, then I won't go there to find customers. When the investment promotion meeting in Rongcheng at the end of the month, I will sign Huang County to Sister Ling directly." Wang Ye agreed.

"Oh, then thank you Mr. Wang for taking care of you," Sister Ling teased.

Wang Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, Sister Ling, don’t joke with me.

The two continued to sit and chat, and Wang Ye also took the opportunity to ask Sister Ling for the market situation in Huangzhou. She has been doing business here for several years and is quite familiar with the market. So she told Wang Ye seriously which people do the most famous clothing brands in the city and which bosses are more capable.

With Sister Ling's analysis, Wang Ye also locked in the target customers.

Mr. Liao, named Liao Shengli, is the strongest among the bosses who build clothing brands in Huangzhou. He has built four or five men's clothing brands and more than ten stores.

Sister Ling knew him well, but she didn't have a deep relationship. Wang Ye asked Sister Ling for Mr. Liao's phone number and planned to ask Sister Ling to get a link tomorrow and meet Mr. Liao. Sister Ling also agreed and said there was no problem.

At noon, Sister Ling insisted on treating Wang Ye to dinner, but refused, so she could only agree.

The two found a quieter Western restaurant. Although Wang Ye didn't think there could be any good Western restaurants in a small city, he was just as good as the guest, and he was not a pretentious person.

After sitting down, I found that the environment of this small restaurant is pretty good, and they are all relatively private booths, with few guests. What makes Wang Ye more embarrassed is that the seats are all double hanging baskets, which are very suitable for couples to talk about love and do some intimate actions.

Sitting down next to Wang Ye, Sister Ling seemed to like teasing him very much. She deliberately put her lips close to Wang Ye's ear and whispered: "You can eat whatever you want, including me..."
