Chapter 199 I was sold, and I still have to count the money for you
In the afternoon, Luo Qinghan went to class, but did not immediately take Lin Yi to meet the five girls who wanted to start a business and open a store.
Instead, she waited until her class was over, and then she and Lin Yi talked with the three girls in the lecture hall.
Luo Qinghan didn't say a word the whole time, just watched from the side.
Lin Yi has also gotten used to it. If Luo Qinghan didn't have to go to work on weekdays, Luo Qinghan would follow him wherever he goes.
Lin Yi is used to the abnormal possessiveness.
I also need to wear it when exercising at home.
Among these three girls, two are relatively introverted, but fortunately the other one is good at communication, and the idea of starting a business was also proposed by this girl named Tang Xin.
Otherwise, Lin Yi would definitely advise the three of them to go to bed early.
"Senior, are you asking us to do e-commerce?"
"Ah."
Lin Yi nodded and found that Tang Xin was quite smart and easy to communicate with.
"But e-commerce has just started, will it not work?"
Tang Xin has found out that there are not many e-commerce companies nowadays and online shopping is not very popular, especially for clothes. Many people still choose to shop in offline stores.
"It's because we just started that you college students have a chance. Otherwise, the cakes would have been shared out and it would be very difficult to grab them."
"Um"
Tang Xin began to think.
At this time, another girl asked Lin Yi: "Then senior, can't we open a physical store?"
These girls are still relatively traditional in their thinking and think that opening a physical store is more upscale.
Lin Yi also understood. After all, this way he could have his own store. Even if he wanted to brag, he could say that he opened a store and was a boss.
Few people don’t like the feeling of showing off and bragging.
But opening an online store is different. There is no storefront, and you don’t even need to stock much goods. To outsiders, it seems like you are doing nothing.
"Can you afford the rent for a physical store? And have you considered where to rent? Do you know where the prime location is?"
Lin Yi's three consecutive questions stumped Tang Xin and the other two.
"Take a look at the pedestrian street closest to our school. I roughly estimated that there are at least fifty clothing stores. The nearest shopping mall, except for the fifth and sixth floors, is also full of clothing stores."
"If you open a new store, without a reputation and old customers, do you think you can compete with so many competitors?"
Lin Yi didn't have to investigate carefully, but he knew that there were clothing stores all around, including men's and women's clothing, children's clothing, elderly clothing, and even erotic lingerie stores.
Tang Xin actually wanted to open a physical store, so she said to Lin Yi: "We can become a franchise store of a famous brand, so that we can become famous."
"."
Lin Yi found that these girls were too naive. They even believed in franchise stores. "Do you know what the franchise store model is?"
Tang Xin gave a rough idea: "It means opening a store after obtaining authorization from a famous brand."
"You are responsible for your own profits and losses in a franchise store, and you also have to pay a franchise fee. Most franchise stores either go bankrupt or take more than a year to break even."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Tang Xin and the others finally understood: "So that's how it is."
Then Lin Yi told them about the advantages of e-commerce: "First of all, there is little competition in e-commerce now, and the cost is very low. You don't need a storefront, you don't need to stock too much goods, and you don't need to hire staff."
After hearing what Lin Yi said, Tang Xin no longer had the initial resistance to e-commerce, but she still had doubts: "But this also requires publicity, right? Offline publicity can be done by handing out flyers, but how to publicize online? Will the advertising cost be very high?" "I can help you with the publicity, but I also have conditions."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he deliberately kept the topic a secret. Tang Xin and the other two looked at each other, then at Lin Yi: "Senior, what are the conditions?"
"It's simple. Let me be your sponsor, but you are not allowed to accept sponsorship from other people in the next year."
Lin Yi also didn't know how these three girls would run the store in the next year. If the results were very good, there would definitely be other business owners who would sponsor or even buy it.
As a result, at the college student entrepreneurship recognition ceremony a year later, Tang Xin and the other two would not only thank him.
The effect he wanted was ruined.
"We can agree to this. We are already very happy to have the sponsorship from you, but is this the only condition?"
Tang Xin and the other two had no idea of Lin Yi's plan. In their eyes, having someone sponsor them was simply a godsend.
"That's the only condition. How much you earn is up to you. I won't ask for a single cent of your profit, and I'll promote you for free."
The three girls all smiled when they heard this and quickly thanked Lin Yi: “Thank you, senior.”
"You guys go register your trademarks these two days and prepare to open an online store. I will make a document with the detailed steps for opening an online store and have Teacher Luo send it to you."
There are no tutorials on how to open an online store on the Internet right now. In order to prevent them from making any mistakes, Lin Yi decided to write a simple tutorial for beginners.
Tang Xin and the others nodded repeatedly. If Luo Qinghan hadn’t been right next to them, they would have definitely treated Lin Yi to at least a cup of milk tea.
After they separated, Luo Qinghan curled his lips slightly and said to Lin Yi: "You are such a vicious person. Most people would help you count the money after being cheated by you."
"Hey! I didn't do anything against the law this time. I just have a small request."
Lin Yi felt that this was the most conscientious thing among all the shameless things he had done since he started his business.
"It's not excessive this time, but they don't know your purpose. They think you are a good person who is just helping them start a business."
"That's because they are naive. How can there be a free lunch in the world?"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Free things are often the most expensive.
These two sentences can be said to be deeply engraved in Lin Yi's mind, because he was also a victim a long time ago.
Therefore, he always kept Ye Zichen's affairs in mind, and the other party was just being too attentive for no reason.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back."
Luo Qinghan sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
When he heard about going home, the originally carefree Lin Yi suddenly became a little scared: "Don't do it tonight, my waist still hurts, spare me for one night."
"Got it, got it. I'll make dinner and give you a massage when we get home tonight."
Luo Qinghan answered impatiently, still feeling a little resentful: "You looked so cheerful just now, but you acted like this when you heard that I was going home. If someone saw you, they would think I was abusing you."
"By the way, what should I do about my workout tonight?"
Luo Qinghan suddenly remembered this matter and decided that he couldn't fall behind in losing weight.
"Why don't you go jogging and exercise by yourself? My waist hurts, so I can't run with you, right?"
"So you're comfortable with me, a girl, running at night?"
