Chapter 69: The Nerd
After the meal, Jing Xiaoqiang didn't even need to see the guests off.
The program director has basically decided to record "Campus Snapshots" this week to showcase the new looks and fashions of college students. Senior Yuan will visit the TV station more often to make connections.
In fact, it was just a stage to get familiar with her face, and then she would try to be an outside host starting from the program about the new uniforms of the flight attendants.
It is equivalent to both parties delivering on their promises bit by bit, and finally on how to deliver on the affordable items of cosmetics and sports bras.
Jing Xiaoqiang, who saw the other person off in the elevator , definitely looked like a second-generation man with a strong background.
He is the type who will arrange any resources for his new girlfriend as he pleases and won't take it too seriously.
Senior Sister Yuan must have been a little scared. When the elevator door closed, she was so cautious that she didn’t dare to act coquettishly: “I… I really don’t know how to say thank you.”
Jing Xiaoqiang ordered two more glasses of lemonade to kill time: "Maybe I'm thanking you for helping me to settle the matter. The benefits are mutual. Just don't bother me to skip classes these two days... No, that's not right. You took them to rehearsal and asked me to leave as well. This class really annoyed me to death."
Senior Sister Yuan regained her composure a little bit: "I will seize this opportunity."
Jing Xiaoqiang praised: "You are so enterprising. I wish you success in the future and take care of my small business."
Senior Yuan bit her lips and said, "Do you want to take a rest?"
Jing Xiaoqiang quickly drank the water in two or three gulps and left: "No, no, I said that since we have a profit transaction now, we should not involve other things. It was originally a relaxing and fun thing. It would be boring if it had other meanings."
In the elevator, the senior student gently grabbed his hand and shook it.
The two walked back to school, and Jing Xiaoqiang told her not to tell anyone about the car: "I bought it to save face for business, but there's no need to put it in school. They are all children who are still receiving living expenses from their parents. Why show off to them?"
Senior Yuan smiled slowly: "You can still take your girlfriend out for a walk, it will leave you with some romantic memories."
Jing Xiaoqiang shook his head: "Forget it, old-timers like us shouldn't harm children. It feels immoral. The more passionate and romantic it is at the beginning, the more bloody and tragic it will be at the end. Why do we have to be so desperate?"
The senior student really understood and nodded slowly: "You have a very mature soul, that's great, I will always remember this autumn, it feels a bit like being in love."
Jing Xiaoqiang laughed: "Well, forget about autumn. It will be cold sooner or later."
Senior Yuan, who was majoring in broadcasting, was stunned for a moment before she burst into a chuckle.
Still beautiful.
Jing Xiaoqiang felt a little regretful. Is it too late for us to go back to the hotel now?
Senior Yuan quietly squeezed his hand and said, "Thank you. No matter what the weather is, thank you for lighting up the dark and violent mood in my heart."
Jing Xiaoqiang understood: "Well, that's right. The courage to fight against darkness is because of light."
Sister Yuan didn’t let go of my hand until they were outside the school gate: “I actually believe in love again. I have to work hard!”
She is indeed very capable in her profession. After returning to school, she immediately went to the school office to file a report and applied, and organized this temporary dance program group to report to the TV station.
The two freshman girls had opportunities to be exposed one after another as soon as they entered the school.
The classmates were jealous that they only had such an opportunity because they became Jing Xiaoqiang's wife. Pan Yunyan said without any hesitation that it was indeed the case and it was very hard.
Du Ruolan concentrated on improving her dancing skills with the senior students, and also received hands-on instruction from senior student Yuan on various interpersonal relationships and ways of dealing with people.
Jing Xiaoqiang himself didn't go there for a single day, but he took the opportunity of the program crew to skip classes and renovate the store.
In fact, it is just a few large glass panels with frosted and painted backs, which are inlaid on the door head and both sides to form a very eye-catching N-shaped glass frame.
The light beige color is quite elegant and doesn't look out of place against the original red brick old villa.
Luo Li also took advantage of the fact that their professional courses were basically courses such as literary history and drama history, and began to sit at the counter at noon and evening to familiarize herself with the product catalog. When she encountered a reading class that did not require her to go to the classroom, she could bring the book to the store to read.
Being good at writing, she deftly compiled a new catalog of all the items, giving them Chinese names and prices. It was a thick stack, and you could always see her memorizing the names with a distressed look on her face.
But the most distressing thing is that she just had some impression of the product, and then it’s gone!
Because actually Jing Xiaoqiang himself didn't know what was in the out-of-town stores, he just roughly pointed out what brands might be there, and which words and packaging he could buy to try.
Not too much of each.
Now I am completely selling and analyzing at the same time.
He figured it out on his own, occasionally using Lori as a guinea pig.
Du Ruolan and Pan Yunyan brought senior sister Yuan with them and also conducted many experiments.
But once we confirmed the brand’s efficacy and whether it was worth restocking, they were all sold out very quickly.
Because starting with the forty-something female piano professor, female teachers and students from the music conservatory began to visit one after another, followed by the symphony orchestra next door.
Both of these parts offer more opportunities to study abroad than drama schools. Even if you come into contact with foreign cosmetics, you may not know how to use them, let alone whether you should buy them.
Now come someone who knows the business, and learn about consumption right away.
To be honest, even in this era, those who can practice violin or piano are definitely better off financially than the average person.
Jing Xiaoqiang adjusted the prices again, and the prices for teachers and students and for ladies would definitely be different.
Then, once people figure out what they are, they buy them all in one go.
Jing Xiaoqiang kept getting goods from Chengjia Garage, often new categories.
Lori is so depressed that she wants to cry!
It's hard to make money.
But the swimsuit factory only took two days to produce 60 samples of large, medium and small sizes and sent them to Jing Xiaoqiang.
Du Ruolan’s large size, Senior Yuan’s medium size, Pan Yunyan’s small size, Loli… Forget it, she shouldn’t waste the new invention.
In addition to the six members of the performance team, Jing Xiaoqiang asked Senior Sister Yuan to observe the sizes and brought ten pieces to give to the female hosts of the TV station to try on.
He took another thirty pieces and drove them to the female soldiers' unit himself, quoted them a rough cost price, and had more than ten pieces left, which he planned to take to the airline along with the flight attendants' new uniforms.
Judging from the bra itself, it looks pretty good. It is produced by a regular production line and has the brand letters embroidered on the bottom edge. The alternation of black and white colors is quite tempting.
When the girls got them, they all blushed a little and liked them very much. Lori stretched her neck to look at them without saying anything.
I guess he feels that he is not on the same level as those beautiful ladies.
But Jing Xiaoqiang was very experienced. He thought about drawing a gift-style cardboard box packaging and faxed it to Media Asia for completion.
The cost of the underwear may be around ten yuan, and he plans to sell it for 66 or 88 yuan. As for if it can be exported, it will definitely be 29 or 39 US dollars per piece.
The key is how to open up sales channels in foreign countries where money can be made?
You should know that in the more than ten or twenty years after the reform and opening up, domestic industrial products and textiles were dumped all over the world at very low prices, either as cheap goods or as OEM production for various brands.
What they earn is the material cost and processing fee, which is far from the brand premium.
It was only after 2008 that a very small number of domestic brands began to enter the overseas market.
Jing Xiaoqiang is not professional in this kind of thing.
But he still went to the music school for classes on Saturday.
After all, he has arranged a lot of albums for the Beyond band, many of which involve folk music. He needs to ask Professor Zhou to review them, and it also depends on whether the current domestic technical level can meet the requirements.
Zhou Qingyun had heard that his cosmetics store was selling very well, so Jing Xiaoqiang gave everyone a gift. Of course, Yu Shufan and Professor Zhou got the most, while the other boys gave them symbolically to please their girlfriends.
Jing Xiaoqiang also took the opportunity to ask Zhou Qingyun and other students whether they were interested in appearing on TV.
He is also learning from Uncle Cheng. Now that he has these kinds of resources in his hands, he has to piece them together from time to time to have the opportunity to create value.
As it turned out, the music conservatory was much more aloof and not too interested in the TV station, but they were quite interested in Jing Xiaoqiang's adaptation of "Does Your Mother Know" into a dance music for girls.
Yu Shufan watched Jing Xiaoqiang dance once, and actually inquired with an interested expression about his mental journey while dancing this kind of seductive dance.
I guess she wanted to perfect her thesis on brothel music culture.
Jing Xiaoqiang leaned over and whispered in her ear not to work in isolation, as there are nightclubs that she could go and visit in person.
The female graduate student in the ivory tower was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Zhou Qingyun put on her glasses and looked at Jing Xiaoqiang's arrangement with satisfaction. She even asked Jing Xiaoqiang to sing several songs with piano accompaniment before she let him go with a nod of her head.
She turned around and found a few folk musicians to work with her in the recording studio.
In short, all of this is to verify Jing Xiaoqiang's musical path, which is to avoid being too highbrow and try to be close to the masses.
Well, and also to make money to improve the way of music.
When Jing Xiaoqiang came out, he saw several more phone numbers on his pager.
As I arrived outside the music college campus and was about to find a pay phone to return my pager, I saw the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, wearing a beige windbreaker, standing outside a store, looking up.
Autumn has really arrived. The plane trees on the streets have changed color. Their silhouettes are indeed full of bohemian sentiment.
What wind brought her here today?
