18: Chapter 18 doesn't look like a high school graduate.
These days, online shopping is still in its infancy.
The general public's acceptance is still not very high, and few people understand it.
After all, it is still the era of candy-bar phones; there aren't many smartphones, and computer penetration is not high either.
In a small city like Changcheng, the level of understanding of online shopping is almost infinitely close to zero.
Only in big cities do people understand a little bit about online shopping.
The E-commerce Platform has been running for a few years, so it has gained some reputation.
If it were five or six years, or even ten years later.
When Zhao Yang asked Wang Ming for these things, Wang Ming would have instantly realized that Zhao Yang was preparing to open an online store!
But at this moment, no one could guess it!
All the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with Zhao Yang.
He was steadily working through practice problems and reading books.
Originally, these two things should have been extremely boring, but under the support of the system, under the support of the progress bar and experience points.
Zhao Yang could completely feel the joy of learning.
During breaks, Zhao Yang would occasionally check the status of his Taobao Online Store.
The traffic was very stable.
Occasionally, he would sell a piece of clothing.
Zhao Yang was satisfied.
In the evening, Zhao Yang took a look and saw that thirteen pieces had been sold, which was three more than yesterday.
To be honest, this was almost like picking up money.
The average price was two hundred, and the sales volume was two thousand six hundred.
The most critical thing was that his own costs were infinitely close to zero.
Even if returns were included, he still had quite a bit of profit!
These days, there is truly no shortage of suckers... oh no, trendy people who want to try online shopping.
As it happens, these people are generally quite wealthy.
Therefore, although he set the price at 200, it was fine for them.
The current E-commerce Platform is not nearly as cutthroat as it would be in later years.
Later on, as more and more merchants joined, everyone had to start engaging in crazy cutthroat competition and price wars to fight for traffic and customers.
And from that time on, online shopping became synonymous with being cheap.
In this era, online shopping is still a novel thing and is not cheap.
In the days that followed, Zhao Yang lived a very regular life.
He still spent most of his time reading and studying, checking his taobao shop in his spare time, and occasionally decorating it.
By the way, he created some accounts to place some fake orders himself.
This era is different from the future; in the future, to place fake orders, one had to come up with various methods to match wits with the platform, and the platform was always cracking down on fake orders.
But now it's different; Zhao Yang could openly use his parents' phone numbers and his own phone number to register accounts on the E-commerce Platform and then directly place fake orders.
These operations for placing fake orders were basically learned from his girlfriend.
Then, in the afternoon, Zhao Yang would hand the goods to the Yuantong courier downstairs at the agreed time and ship them out.
In the following days, Zhao Yang studied at home every day, worked on problems, occasionally checked the Taobao Online Store, and managed it a little bit.
Relying on his understanding of the E-commerce Platform from the future, as well as his experience in online sales.
Zhao Yang only used a few tricks, and easily made his Taobao Online Store flourish.
Daily sales could be said to be growing steadily.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yang wanted to earn money more easily, he would only need to lower the unit price to around 100, and it is very likely that daily sales would now exceed one hundred, or even more.
But there was no need; that would lower the profit margins too.
And he would be even busier.
Now, selling twenty or thirty orders a day, which took less than half an hour of Zhao Yang's time to pack, he was quite satisfied.
This way, he could spend the vast majority of his time on studying.
Over ten days passed.
Zhao Yang's mathematics experience was already approaching nine hundred.
Of the four borrowed Advanced Mathematics supplementary books, Zhao Yang had already finished one, and had learned 60% of the second one.
With the system's help, Zhao Yang's memory was much stronger than before.
The experience point system allowed every piece of knowledge Zhao Yang understood to be instantly imprinted in his brain, so that when he used it again, it would be handy.
Otherwise, ten days would not have been enough for Zhao Yang to work through problems, let alone finish a whole book.
And at this time, the three hundred pieces of clothing he had brought back from Wang Ming's house were almost sold out.
It was time to go get some more clothes, and coincidentally, he could also talk to Wang Ming about some things regarding the Taobao Online Store.
In Zhao Yang's vision, the future affairs of the Taobao Online Store could be completely handed over to Wang Ming.
He didn't have that much time to manage the Taobao Online Store, so he could give Wang Ming some shares, and he could also teach Wang Ming some of the management methods for Taobao Online Stores from the future.
Although Wang Ming wasn't exactly a particularly great person, to be fair, Wang Ming had always been genuinely good to him since they were young.
And before his rebirth, although Wang Ming was already close to running out of options, he just wouldn't come to him to borrow money.
Although their relationship in the previous life had already started to drift apart, at that time, as long as Wang Ming came to borrow money, Zhao Yang couldn't possibly not give it.
To be honest, Zhao Yang only heard about Wang Ming borrowing money from other friends later; he really didn't know that his childhood friend was in such dire straits.
Under such circumstances, even though he was a manager at a big company at that time, Wang Ming still managed to hold back from asking him for money; one could imagine how much he valued him!
In this lifetime, he should give him a nudge, at least not let him and his family fall into the same outcome as in the previous life.
After Zhao Yang sent a message to Wang Ming on QQ, he went directly to the Garment Factory at Wang Ming's house.
"Brother Yang! Have you sold all those clothes?"
Wang Ming asked Zhao Yang curiously.
"Yeah, sold almost all of them, preparing to restock some goods."
Zhao Yang said with a smile.
"Okay! Then I'll take you to the warehouse to pick some!"
Although Wang Ming's father had asked him to find out what channels Zhao Yang was using to sell the goods, Wang Ming did not ask.
Zhao Yang also looked at Wang Ming with some curiosity and asked.
"Aren't you curious about what channels I'm using to sell the goods?"
"Brother Yang being able to sell goods is Brother Yang's ability, why would I ask about that!"
Wang Ming said with a smile.
"I'll tell you later, maybe I'll even need your help!"
Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, looked at Wang Ming and said.
"Maybe the two of us brothers can get rich together!"
"Okay!"
Wang Ming nodded, not questioning Zhao Yang's words.
While talking, Zhao Yang followed Wang Ming to the warehouse and picked out five hundred pieces of clothing; at this time, Wang Ming's mother also came over.
After paying for the clothes, Zhao Yang came to the factory's office.
"A-Ming, are you interested in partnering with me to do business?"
Zhao Yang said directly to Wang Ming and Wang Ming's mother.
Wang Ming was slightly stunned, and Wang Ming's mother beside him was also stunned.
She felt that the Zhao Yang in front of her didn't seem like an eighteen-year-old high school graduate at all; he actually looked like a sales manager from a big company she had dealt with before...
