Chapter 18 Why don’t you go and grab it?
"Manager Liu, you should be more formal," Ye Lingxi said calmly in response to Liu Hongtao's address.
Liu Hongtao's expression stiffened for a moment, his gaze swept over Jiang Cheng and Shen Youqing, and then he gave a relaxed smile and said, "Okay, President Ye."
Ye Lingxi looked at Jiang Cheng, ignoring Liu Hongtao beside her, and asked Jiang Cheng, "What do you think we should do with this store? I've already registered the trademark and everything. This is our first store, and I don't know if we can do it well. I'm thinking of building up some sales volume and then going to the franchise fair to recruit franchisees."
Liu Hongtao, who was standing next to him, frowned with displeasure when he saw his boss talking about these things to outsiders.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the franchise later. Since these counters are already set up, you can put the bags on the shelves first."
Jiang Cheng knew that joining a franchise was a dead end!
Let alone now, even a few years from now when some sports franchise brands take off, these leather goods and products won't be in the running!
Leather goods brands have always been controlled by foreign companies. Apart from luxury brands, the real brands that have opened up the market are still those that sell counterfeit goods.
Therefore, given the current debt and inventory backlog, it is almost impossible to build a brand and turn things around through franchising.
Ye Lingxi walked into the store and said, "We can put it on the shelves anytime. We've already prepared the labels, price tags, and display racks."
As she spoke, she walked into the store and opened a box, inside which were transparent product display racks and transparent plastic price tags.
"Mr. Ye, this is a trade secret. We can't tell anyone before it's on the shelves!"
Liu Hongtao finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.
“This…” Ye Lingxi paused for a moment.
Liu Hongtao was poached by her. He used to be the manager of a stall in Dongguan City, which was doing very well. Ye Lingxi spent 8 yuan to poach Liu Hongtao.
"Manager Liu, why don't you listen to what Jiang Cheng has to say first?"
Liu Hongtao glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "This person... should still be a student, right?"
Jiang Cheng, unaware of this mishap, nodded and said, "That's right, just graduated from high school."
Liu Hongtao's eyes flashed with disdain. He then ignored Jiang Cheng and looked at Ye Lingxi, saying, "President Ye, I really have something to tell you. There's a stall downstairs at the entrance selling our products at low prices. Wallets that are originally priced at 58-88 yuan are being sold for 30 yuan each."
"There are also leather shoes priced at 188 yuan, and three wallets priced at 30 yuan each. You can take them away for 90 yuan."
"This is a fatal blow to our brand. Before the products even hit the shelves, our pricing system has been destroyed by someone else!"
Liu Hongtao had already inquired downstairs and knew that this was arranged by Shen Youqing.
But he didn't dare to cause trouble for Shen Youqing, and besides, Shen Youqing was so beautiful, he wanted to get to know her better.
Even if you go out and introduce her to others, saying that she is your friend, having such a beautiful and rich friend must be a very prestigious thing!
Therefore, he could only hint at it to Ye Lingxi indirectly.
“I know, that’s a stall in Jiangcheng,” Ye Lingxi said.
In fact, she knew that the small stall in Jiangcheng was disrupting the pricing system of her brand store, which had not yet opened.
But Shen Youqing had done this in advance, and by the time she found out, it was too late.
Moreover, the key point is that Jiangcheng really can sell things!
You should know that she has traveled to many places and the pricing of goods is actually very mysterious. The same thing can be sold for 20 yuan by some people and 200 yuan by others, but the cheaper one is not necessarily the one that does good business!
The key is to be able to sell them!
So she looked at Jiang Cheng with a pleading expression.
"what!"
"The shop downstairs is his too?!"
Liu Hongtao's tone was tinged with anger as he glared at Jiang Cheng and said, "Please stop the activities of the stalls below immediately. This is damaging our pricing system, an irreparable damage!"
What's that wailing sound?
Jiang Cheng was a little annoyed by him, and he couldn't let him ruin his business!
Millions of dollars' worth of goods were about to flow from the rich girl into his own hands. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't stop it!
"Pricing system?" Jiang Cheng sneered, giving him a disdainful look, just like Liu Hongtao.
Then he walked inside, reached out and grabbed Ye Lingxi's hand, lifting it up.
To clarify, Jiang Cheng didn't want to hold Ye Lingxi's hand; it was just that Ye Lingxi was holding a plastic price tag.
He glanced at the price tag in Ye Lingxi's hand: 58.
Jiang Cheng grasped Ye Lingxi's hand, and her eyes flickered.
But seeing that Jiang Cheng was looking at the price carefully, she couldn't pull her hand away and just let Jiang Cheng hold it.
Liu Hongtao, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed. He had been longing for that little hand for so long, and now it was being held in the hand of a high school student right before his eyes.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng only held Ye Lingxi's hand for two or three seconds before letting go and saying, "The price list needs to be redone."
"I see you seem to have two brands, right?"
Ye Lingxi said, "That's right, because our factory's inventory is mainly divided into two orders."
"One order was for materials that are glued together, and another order was for genuine whole cowhide, but the order for whole cowhide was very small, only about one-fifth of the stock."
"So when I was thinking about creating a retail brand, I registered two trademarks: one for the low-end brand Yongfa and the other for the high-end brand Nick."
“Very good!” Jiang Cheng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He had previously discovered that the leather bags taken from the warehouse had two different trademarks, both of which contained English text.
One of the bags had a brand name that was of significantly better quality and leather, so Jiangcheng didn't use it and always used the slightly inferior one.
"The pricing system needs to be reformed; we can't sell it this cheaply!"
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Liu Hongtao said loudly, "You know the price can't be this cheap! Our wallets are 88 yuan each, and you're selling them for 30 yuan each there. This store won't even need to open. Who will buy them after it opens?!"
"Could you please keep your voice down? You're disturbing the other guests."
Shen Youqing, who had been silent until now, spoke up at this moment in a cold voice.
My brother, since when did it become your place to yell at him in front of me?
Liu Hongtao swallowed hard, then fell silent, his gaze fixed on Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng ignored him and said to Ye Lingxi, "Re-print all these price tags. They can't be plastic; they have to be metal, like those small metal price tags in jewelry stores. Also, replace all the display stands with wooden ones, solid wood ones!"
"The most important thing is the price; it can't be this cheap."
"Yong...yes, the Yongfa you mentioned, the price cannot be lower than 288."
"Nick's price is 18,000, the minimum is 18,000 for a wallet!"
"What?! Eighteen thousand?! You might as well rob someone!!"
