19: Chapter 19 Opening Another Store Together

"Sure! Brother Yang, just tell me directly! What do you need me to do!"

Wang Ming was a very loyal person. His grades were not good; they had never been good since he was a child, whereas Zhao Yang's grades had always been excellent.

Back then, Zhao Yang was a bit frail and was always being bullied, so Wang Ming would help Zhao Yang fight.

In return, Zhao Yang let Wang Ming copy his homework. As they went back and forth, their relationship grew closer, and they were always hanging out together.

Later on, because Zhao Yang was quick-witted, he helped Wang Ming devise a few schemes, helping him escape his parents' punishments.

Because of this, Wang Ming was particularly impressed by Zhao Yang and treated him as his big brother.

Basically, Wang Ming would agree with any of Zhao Yang's suggestions.

Right now, with Zhao Yang saying this, Wang Ming, who had always admired and trusted Zhao Yang, could not possibly have any objections whatsoever.

"Actually, I've been selling clothes online recently."

Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, looking at Wang Ming.

"I can teach you how to run a shop, help you set everything up, and then guide you on how to drive sales volume.

Let's partner up and start a company. As for the shares, I want seventy percent."

Zhao Yang said, looking at Wang Ming.

In fact, Zhao Yang could have easily asked for more.

After all, in this day and age, those who knew how to run a Taobao Online Store were a minority among the minority; most people were still somewhat hesitant about this channel.

Even for those who wanted to try running a Taobao Online Store, very few actually knew how to handle issues like traffic.

Zhao Yang was willing to mentor someone, or he could even just hire someone directly.

But Zhao Yang still wanted to bring Wang Ming along, not only because he felt fond of his childhood friend.

The most crucial point was that Wang Ming's family owned a Garment Factory.

If the business grew larger later on, having the backing of a Garment Factory would provide much more convenience.

Therefore, Zhao Yang was willing to give Wang Ming thirty percent of the shares.

Wang Ming's mother, standing nearby, watched Zhao Yang, her eyes flickering for a moment, but she didn't speak.

She was also a bit curious in her heart.

Selling clothes online? How do you even sell clothes online?

Theoretically, business partnerships should be a fifty-fifty split, but in this kind of situation, since he held the channel and the knowledge, he should be taking a larger share.

Since Wang Ming had agreed, Zhao Yang did not hesitate.

He immediately registered a second taobao shop.

After registering the second shop, Zhao Yang began teaching Wang Ming how to reply to messages and how to log into the shop's backend.

And knowledge such as how to ship parcels.

If this were after 2016, many people would probably know a thing or two about this.

But in 2008... in 2008, there weren't even that many households that owned a computer.

As for online shopping?

Very few people could accept it!

Zhao Yang had Wang Ming sell clothes with relatively low unit prices, distinguishing them from his own previous shop, focusing mainly on sales volume.

Because the unit price was relatively low, Zhao Yang and Wang Ming split the costs according to their share ratio; Zhao Yang put in 1,400 yuan, and Wang Ming put in 600 yuan.

After finishing this.

"Brother Yang, is that it?"

Wang Ming looked curiously at the shop on the computer and asked Zhao Yang, puzzled.

"Yeah, then people will come to ask questions and buy clothes. If someone inquires, just answer according to the scripts I gave you.

As for shipping, I'll talk to the people at Yuantong Express, and they will come here in the afternoon to pick up the parcels."

Zhao Yang said, looking at Wang Ming.

"If you have any questions later on, you can ask me on QQ anytime."

"Alright, Brother Yang."

Wang Ming nodded.

After finishing all this, Zhao Yang took the five hundred pieces of clothing he had selected and left the Garment Factory with the tricycle.

Watching Zhao Yang's receding figure.

Wang Ming's mother, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, finally spoke to Wang Ming.

"This Yang Yang really has talent, selling clothes online! If it were me, I would never have thought of that!"

Wang Ming's mother sighed.

"Also, I actually wanted to ask just now, the clothes in the pictures he just uploaded are the remnants of the remnants in our warehouse, things that cost three or five yuan per jin.

He actually priced them at 39 yuan each. Will anyone really buy them??"

Wang Ming's mother's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Someone placed an order!"

Just as Wang Ming was about to answer his mother, he suddenly saw that the system page indicated someone had placed an order!

"It really sold!"

Wang Ming's mother's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"For this one piece of clothing, after deducting all costs, wouldn't the profit be over 30 yuan???"

After quickly calculating the costs—Wang Ming's mother was an accountant by trade—she soon figured out the cost and profit.

Her pupils constricted slightly.

"Another one sold!"

At this moment, Wang Ming's tone was filled with surprise.

Looking at the unfamiliar computer screen in front of him.

"Ah Ming, you must follow Zhao Yang closely in the future!"

Looking at the sold orders displayed on the computer screen, Wang Ming's mother's sharp instincts as an accountant and businesswoman told her that selling goods online was definitely a very promising path!

And Zhao Yang's calm, composed, and effortless demeanor earlier didn't look like that of a newcomer at all!

He must have many other tricks up his sleeve!

Throughout the afternoon, clothes were constantly being sold from Wang Ming's shop.

Unlike Zhao Yang's own shop, for this shop he partnered with Wang Ming on, Zhao Yang didn't intend to go for high added value; he wanted to go for volume.

The clothes he selected were all affordable styles, with prices basically set between 29 and 59 yuan.

The shop's decoration was also very plain and simple.

Therefore, the speed of selling goods was also very fast.

Because it was cheap!

At this price of thirty or forty yuan, it would be considered quite reasonable even at a town market.

Moreover, with Zhao Yang's trend-setting aesthetic, the clothes he selected, even those he considered remnants, were still decent.

The speed of moving stock was naturally very fast.

In just one afternoon, Wang Ming's shop sold thirty or forty pieces of clothing.

The sales revenue exceeded 1,200 yuan!

These were all remnants that had almost zero cost!

This caused Wang Ming to be abnormally excited the entire afternoon, constantly sending messages to Zhao Yang, who didn't reply much, just telling him to stay calm.

As for himself, he continued to work on practice problems.

For Zhao Yang, having been reborn in 2008, making money was merely a diversion from his studies.

Just like his parents said, studying was a good thing, but one shouldn't become too obsessed with it.

He did all this, besides the fact that making money was necessary, also to keep his parents from worrying too much.

There was no helping it; failing the College Entrance Examination was, in everyone's eyes, his biggest blow. It was normal for his parents to be afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle such a setback.

If it were his past self, this failure in the College Entrance Examination would indeed have been a huge blow!

But he was a reborn person now!

The College Entrance Examination was nothing!

Especially with the system he had!

But in order not to let his parents worry, Zhao Yang was still willing to set aside a little study time to do some small business.
