Chapter 185 Conspiracy
Lu Yuan began to impart his entire operational logic of Yuanxian Wardrobe to Lin Kai without reservation.
Soon he will be enrolling at university, at which point he will completely retire from the limelight.
Lin Kai had to take over the baton from him and shoulder the heavy responsibility of unified scheduling and maintaining the operation of the store.
This is also a business skill that Lin Kai must master in the next two years; he must learn to examine and solve problems from the perspective of an entrepreneur.
Otherwise, if he is still completely clueless after leaving Lu Yuan two years later, then those two years will have been a complete waste.
Gao Ya naturally followed suit, but her core job remained financial planning and frontline sales.
As a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman, she is an expert in fashion, and her persuasiveness is off the charts when she promotes products to young girls.
Even if she is very capable, there are times when she is overwhelmed with work.
There was no way around it; Yuanxian Wardrobe was just too popular. Every day, large groups of young women would flock in to try on clothes and ask about styling tips. How could one person possibly manage it all?
Even with Ye Yixian's help, it's still a drop in the ocean, a distant solution that can't quench an immediate thirst.
Therefore, Lu Yuan made a decisive decision and asked Gao Ya to hire two more shop assistants.
As it happened, Gao Ya's several close friends hadn't found suitable jobs yet, so she naturally took the job.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and girls who can get along with elegance naturally have good temperament.
They were all tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful; when they stood in the store, they were practically "human billboards."
Lu Yuan keenly seized this advantage and arranged for them to wear uniforms the next day.
This not only highlights their figures and enhances their temperament, but also leaves customers with a deeper impression of the "Yuanxian Wardrobe" brand image.
However, Lu Yuan left the decision-making power regarding recruitment to Gao Ya and Lin Kai, but set an ironclad rule: no nepotism was allowed.
We don't want people who take advantage of good relationships to slack off and break the rules.
His implication was clear: try not to hire relatives and friends, since "insiders" are often the most difficult to manage.
Of course, if the other party is indeed reliable and has high value, then it's a different story, and it's fine to hire them.
……
Meanwhile, Linna and Yunduo were secretly keeping an eye on Lu Yuan and Lin Kai's entrepreneurial progress.
When they first learned that they only owned a clothing store, the two couldn't help but scoff and laugh.
Clothing stores are everywhere, how can you possibly make money?
Earning ten million in two years? That's just wishful thinking.
However, the feedback they received during this period gradually froze their smiles.
This unassuming little shop has really become popular, and business is getting better every day.
Although it's almost impossible to earn ten million within two years given the current momentum, once you get off to such a good start, anything can happen.
"Sister Na, what should we do?" Yun Duo asked, her face contorted with worry. "If we let them continue like this, who knows what kind of huge windfall will happen! What if they actually make ten million?"
"Don't panic, Duoduo," Linna reassured her, trying to sound calm. "How could such a small shop possibly make so much money? Don't scare yourself."
"But what if they open branches after they've established themselves? With more branches, they can certainly make more money, right?" Yun Duo stamped her feet anxiously.
In their current understanding, the only way to expand and make more money is to open branches and capture more market share.
Therefore, they naturally assumed that as long as Lu Yuan and his group accumulated enough funds, they would expand wildly to other cities.
"It's not that easy. Doing business isn't like farming; you can't just expand whenever you want." Lin Na patiently analyzed, "They mainly sell affordable clothing, following a low-profit, high-volume strategy. This business model is destined to be unable to cover all consumer groups, and the profit ceiling is fixed. Even if they can open a few more branches, can they earn ten million? Making money isn't that easy."
"But..." Yun Duo was still worried.
She knew Lin Kai's capabilities all too well, but that young man named Lu Yuan seemed unfathomable.
When he dared to casually say "earn ten million in two years," he had already secured a precious two-year buffer period for Lin Kai and Gao Ya, which in itself was a very clever negotiation victory.
Yun Duo's mind raced, and she boldly made a suggestion:
Assuming they haven't earned ten million in two years, Lin Kai and Gao Ya might choose to give up and get pregnant out of wedlock and get married because of the pregnancy.
Given that their small shop is doing very well, will Mr. Lin Jinfu definitely not side with his son and let this "unlucky couple" get together?
Yunduo wasn't stupid; she knew the principle that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs.
Everyone knows how much Lin Jinfu spoils his son.
The agreement made over the past two years was that, as the father, he didn't actually lack the ten million; what he wanted was simply for Lin Kai to have an ambitious attitude.
If Lin Kai demonstrates satisfactory talent, he will most likely support Lin Kai and Gao Ya being together, rather than insisting on ten million.
Seeing Yun Duo's worried expression, Lin Na knew what she was thinking.
What she could think of, Linna could naturally think of as well.
So, Lin Na said softly with a smile, "Duo Duo, don't worry. Our Lin family actually hopes you will marry into the family. We've known each other for so many years, I will definitely stand by your side and look forward to you becoming my sister-in-law."
As she spoke, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her voice, saying, "We'll talk about the future later. Right now, I have a way to ruin their business."
"How do we do it?" Yun Duo looked at Lin Na with curiosity and anticipation.
Linna leaned close to her ear and whispered something in her ear.
After listening, Yun Duo's tense face finally relaxed, revealing a satisfied smile.
……
At this time, the business of Yuanxian Wardrobe stores was still booming.
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian finally had a rare opportunity to commute to and from get off work together.
Around noon, the two packed their lunch and ate it on the public benches in the corridor outside the store.
The mealtime was short because the restaurant was constantly busy with customers. After half an hour, they had to go back and relieve Gao Zhe and the others.
This busy period may continue for some time, until the novelty of Farstring Wardrobe wears off.
"Yixian, this period of time must be much more tiring than working in the garment factory, right?" Lu Yuan looked at the girl beside him, his eyes full of heartache.
Ye Yixian smiled and shook her head, picked up a piece of meat from her lunchbox, gently fed it to Lu Yuan, and said softly, "I feel very fulfilled, not tired at all. In fact, I'm even happier to be with you."
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded, knowing that Ye Yixian was speaking from the heart.
He was also very fortunate that he had made the right choice in this life and gained such a sensible and considerate girlfriend.
The two looked at each other silently, their eyes meeting, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, they realized that it had been a long time since they had kissed, and they both missed it.
But in front of this busy shop, if we kiss, will people see us?
Before the two could make a move, a violent commotion suddenly came from inside Yuanxian's wardrobe.
A woman's shrill voice echoed, extremely high-pitched and filled with intense anger: "What kind of clothes are you selling?! I had an allergic reaction after wearing them, and my skin almost peeled off!"
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian's expressions changed, and they quickly walked into the store. They saw a young woman angrily slamming a bag of women's clothing onto the ground in front of Gao Ya.
The clothing bags, styles, and invoices all belonged to Yuanxian Wardrobe, so she was clearly not lying; these clothes were indeed bought there.
Her outburst startled the customers who were happily selecting clothes, causing them to stop what they were doing and no longer dare to touch the clothes.
If the clothes are just defective, you can simply exchange them or return them; but once it involves something like "skin allergies," the situation becomes much more serious.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for; expensive things come with expensive guarantees, while cheap things come with cheap risks.
The clothes at Yuanxian Wardrobe were generally much cheaper than those in the surrounding shops, and everyone immediately began to wonder: Could these clothes be second-hand, defective products that someone else had worn? Were they not washed properly or disinfected, and did they carry some kind of infectious disease?
Once the thought crossed their minds, everyone started scaring themselves, their enthusiasm for buying was instantly extinguished, and they all turned their attention to Lu Yuan and the others, ready to demand an explanation.
Lu Yuan's heart sank.
He knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly, at best his business would suffer, and at worst, Yuanxian Wardrobe would have to close down.
