Chapter 203 College Student Model Team [3200]

at the same time.

Today is also the opening day of the Canton Fair.

After decades of development, especially in the past decade since the reform and opening up, today’s Canton Fair is no longer the same as it once was.

I remember that during the first Canton Fair, there were only 13 exhibition groups from all over the country. Some provinces could not even produce a decent enterprise. The total number of exhibited commodities was only about 1, and most of them were repetitive semi-processed agricultural products. The buyers who attended the fair were limited to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, and the total transaction volume was only about million US dollars.

Today is the opening ceremony of the 66th Canton Fair. Almost every province has representatives in the participating exhibition groups, and the variety of goods is rich. They are no longer limited to semi-processed agricultural and sideline products. They range from small items like color TVs and rice cookers to large items like motorcycles and Dongfeng trucks. These have now become the main source of foreign exchange earnings.

Thousands of foreign businessmen from more than 100 countries around the world gathered together, making the first day of the exhibition particularly lively.

The booth of the Meisite Garment Factory is a bit remote, located in the Hunan Province exhibition area, surrounded by large state-owned factories. The items they sell range from wrenches and screws to locomotives.

Because Lu Yang was eager to deal with Chief Engineer Jiang, he handed the layout of the booth to Lao Liu and never paid much attention to it.

I thought this kid wouldn't be able to do anything special.

But when this day really came, Lu Yang realized that he had really underestimated this boy. This boy was truly talented.

In the entire Hunan Province exhibition area, Lu Yang's booth is the most inconspicuous one. The things he sells should be the most ordinary and the least technologically demanding, but now, it has become the busiest booth.

Have you seen the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?
There is one here today, but it is a bit conservative. No one wears underwear on stage. They are all wearing Meister's fashionable men's and women's T-shirts, including summer clothes and autumn clothes, with bright colors. In this era, it is also a beautiful landscape.

The applause continued.

Merchants from all over the world are gathering more and more.

Lu Yang was stunned.

Gong Ping'an and Da Jun, who were accompanying him, were also stunned.

"Good boy, where do you get such great skills?"

"Tell me quickly, where did you find these people?"

Lao Liu was having fun.

Then Lu Yang signaled Gong Ping'an and Da Jun, and the two of them went forward to carry him off the stage and tortured him severely.

The boy's mouth was crooked with joy, and he said proudly, "How is it? My cousin, you asked me to make it as big as possible and spread our name. I have completed it."

"Stop it."

Lu Yang patted his head and said, "Tell me quickly, how much did it cost?"

"hey-hey."

Lao Liu proudly kept the secret and said, "Cousin, how about you guess?"

Lu Yang raised his head slightly and glanced at the handsome men and beautiful women on the stage. There were about 20 or 30 of them. The key point was that each of them was of high quality and good temperament. They didn't look like the ordinary people of this era who didn't have much education. So he frowned slightly and said:
"I gave you 1000 yuan to set up the booth and cover the expenses for the trade show this week. You should have spent all of it, right? Is it just the deposit? How much do you still owe?"

Lu Yang didn't feel bad about spending all the 1000 yuan.

What he cared about was the boy's business acumen. He didn't want the boy to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on the entire trade show, only to not be able to sign the last deal and end up just having a good time.

But I am afraid that these are just today's expenses, or just a small fraction of them. If the whole exhibition is completed, the expenses will be huge.

Lao Liu laughed again and said even more proudly, "Dangdangdang, I didn't spend a penny. Are you surprised?"

"roll."

I believe you.

“It really didn’t cost a penny.”

Lao Liu was anxious and explained quickly: "Cousin, listen to me, it's like this, these are students from Wei Shu's school, Yangcheng University, they don't want money, they are willing to help for free, mainly for fun."

Lu Yang was stunned after hearing this, then he laughed and scolded: "Fuck, you are really good, you have learned how to get something for free."

"Tell me the truth, who gave you the idea?"

If the people on the stage were not college students, Lu Yang would still believe him, but since they were all college students, especially students from Yangcheng University, it was definitely not Lao Liu's idea.

Lao Liu's brain is only capable of thinking of some clever tricks, and he can't come up with such a brilliant idea.

Sure enough, seeing that Lu Yang didn't believe it, the boy had to tell the truth.

Lao Liu chuckled and said, "You can't hide it from your cousin. That's right, this idea was not mine. It was suggested by the college student Youyou. She said that when she's not around, her classmates can not only serve as clothes hangers, but also do some translation work for free. Although only a few of them know a few words in a foreign language and are not as good as her (the good ones are all recruited as volunteers), it's better than nothing. After she finishes her volunteer work, she will try to come over as agreed."

Lu Yang nodded, that’s pretty good.

Thinking of that girl with ponytail and long legs, she is really not to be judged by appearance. She is so beautiful and knows six languages. Knowing six languages ​​is fine, but she also has such strong organizational skills. I am quite curious, which window did God close for her? I shook my head and shook off these random thoughts.

Lu Yang continued to ask him, "I guess there must be a price to pay for this, right? I believe in her organizational ability, but there is no free lunch in the world. Will so many people be willing to listen to you on this stage for free?"

"For a fee, for a fee."

The sixth kid finally told the truth, a little embarrassed, and whispered, "It's actually like this. Miss Youyou said that her classmates don't need money as long as we can provide them with food. It's just that they have to wear the clothes they try on every day and won't return them to us. I thought about it, we brought hundreds of sets of clothes. Even if everyone gave a set of clothes every day, the Canton Fair would only be open for a few days, which would be enough for us. Brother Tang, what do you think?"

The clothes I brought this time, if sold at the factory cost price, would be less than a few hundred yuan at most, closer to 1000 yuan. According to the wholesale price set by the factory, they would be worth about yuan. According to the retail price, of course, they would be much more valuable. It is not impossible to sell several hundred sets of clothes for tens of thousands of yuan.

Lao Liu, who acted first and reported later, was a little nervous.

Lu Yang was stunned again after hearing this, then suddenly burst into laughter. Ya Ran laughed and said, "What am I supposed to be? So that's how it is. Don't we have plenty of clothes in our factory? Tell them to work hard and be good models. Those who are capable can also be good translators. I will definitely treat them well. For those who perform well, I will give them a set of clothes every day, and even clothes to change into for the whole year."

Talent!
Only a talented person could come up with this idea.

Use clothes as wages.

My family runs a garment factory, how could I not agree?
Of course, no one loses out in this way. When college students buy clothes, summer clothes cost eight or nine yuan a set, autumn clothes cost more than ten yuan a set, and winter clothes cost twenty or thirty yuan a set, which is an average price. But here in Luyang, all prices are factory cost prices.

Think of this.

Lu Yang took down the mobile phone from his waist and said, "I'll go to a quieter place outside and call the factory. Ask them to prepare a few bags and find some bicycles (long-distance buses) to bring over. I won't sell them. You can give them to the cute students on the stage based on their performance."

"Okay, then I'll thank my cousin on their behalf."

The weight in Lao Liu's heart fell, and he became happy at the same time.

At this time, a girl on the stage, a female classmate from Yangcheng University, waved to them and shouted, "Manager Lu, please come quickly. There is a big customer from Kansas who wants to place an order for our clothes. Hehe, it's a good start. If you don't come, they will leave."

"Here we go, Meiqi, you must keep the guests here."

Lao Liu turned his head towards the stage and shouted in response.

He turned around and looked at Lu Yang: "Cousin, look..."

"You go ahead, I won't go."

Lu Yang shook his head.

The big customers from Tanzania are nothing more than the chimpanzee chieftains on the African savannah. They can buy hundreds or thousands of sets of clothes, which is a so-called big order. Can we really expect them to place orders of hundreds of thousands at a time?
There may not be so many people in the whole family, young and old, added together. They won't buy enough clothes to wear. Are they really going to give them to monkeys to wear?

Of course, even if the order is small, as long as it can earn foreign exchange, it is more cost-effective than large domestic orders, especially for countries that are in urgent need of foreign exchange funds.

Lu Yang himself doesn't really want to get involved in these things.

The purpose of his trip to the south has been achieved, and even exceeded expectations.

From then on, every foreign exchange business deal was fully earned. Besides, Lao Liu was better at speaking than himself, so even if he went there in person, he might not be able to help much.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang picked up the mobile phone in his hand and thought, why not just go out now, find a quiet place, and call home.

So as to avoid forgetting what you just promised.

"Ping An, Da Jun, you guys stay and help Lao Liu. I'll be back soon."

Putting the cell phone to his ear and making a phone call gesture, Lu Yang turned around and walked towards the entrance of the trade fair.

It's too noisy in here and there's no signal.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

I had just walked out of the door of the trade fair and hadn't even pressed all the buttons when my mobile phone unexpectedly rang.

"suspect?"

"It's Sister Du's phone call. Why did she call me?"

This Sister Du naturally refers to Du Lingling, the director of the Zhao County Admissions Office.

Before this, the two of them had been treating each other like brother and sister for a while, and they also left their phone numbers with each other.

But since the small commodity wholesale market became formal, Lu Yang personally intervened less and less in sales matters, and handed them all over to Lao Liu. He even paid less attention to factory affairs, and naturally had less contact with the direct leader of the market, and gradually they had little contact.

After pressing the answer button, Lu Yang said with a slightly puzzled look on his face: "My dear sister, why did you think of calling me at this time?"

"Humph, of course I'm criticizing you for being unkind. It wasn't until I came to Shanghuai Village that I realized you had set up such a big chess game here. Well done, you're quite courageous..."
