I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 279 The Reduced Affection Points

"Uncle Zhong, I would like to visit your production workshop and see your manufacturing process."

Wei Lin suddenly made a suggestion.

He had terminated his cooperation with Tianzhong, and the remaining orders were not large. He could find out how many "Reverse Demon" hats Zhong Xiaowei had produced by simply visiting the workshop.

"There's nothing to see here. Isn't it the same as Xinlin's?"

Zhong Xiao smiled and shook his head in refusal, then picked up the phone and pretended to be busy, putting on an air of being very occupied.

Wei Lin didn't insist, nodded, and got up to take his leave.

He wasn't in a hurry to take action against Zhong Xiaowei. After all, Tianzhong still had a small number of "Reverse Demon" orders in production. Even if he went to the Tianzhong workshop and saw that they were still making "Reverse Demon" hats, Zhong Xiaowei would still have an excuse.

Therefore, Wei Lin decided to take a break and wait a few days until Tian Zhong delivered all the remaining "Reverse Demon" orders before he would try to find something to hold against Zhong Xiaowei.

"Wei Lin, I've been really busy these past few days, so I won't see you off."

Zhong Xiaowei was very polite and simply escorted Wei Lin to the office.

As soon as Wei Lin left, he frowned and muttered to himself coldly, "So what if you found out? There are plenty of counterfeit products on the market! I only did this to give you, Wei Lin, face by labeling you 'Rebellious Demon'."

He always believed that he had done Wei Lin a great favor in Anderson's matter, and that Wei Lin owed him a debt of gratitude.

……

Golden Eagle Shopping Center.

Shen Yanfei's newly renovated shop is now officially open for business, displaying hats from the "Ni Mo" and "Lin" brands, as well as clothing from Qing Que's shop.

She didn't hire any more sales staff; it was still just her and Miao Ke doing the work.

"Sister Feifei, will these clothes and hats really sell?"

Miao Ke stood in front of the counter, looking at the clothes behind her, and said worriedly, "Aren't the prices a bit too high? How many people can afford them?"

She knew the hats weren't expensive to buy, but the Qingque Clothing was incredibly expensive, and she was worried she wouldn't be able to sell many.

"I don't know if it will work, but our purchasing agent business is definitely not going to continue."

Shen Yanfei had already promoted it on her WeChat Moments. Many of her old customers, upon hearing that she had given up her personal shopping business and switched to selling clothes and hats, were not very optimistic about her.

"Feifei! You really changed careers?"

Wang Lingling and her assistant Du Jing, who were traveling with her, came to her newly renovated shop. Looking at the limited selection of Qingque clothing and a row of hats from the brands "Nimo" and "Lin", they asked, "Why did you decide to go into the clothing business?"

They happened to be in Linjiang City on business, and upon learning of Shen Yanfei's new store opening, they made a special trip to support her.

Du Jing also brought a large congratulatory flower basket, which she placed next to the counter.

"Sister Ling, you know our line of work is getting harder and harder to do."

Shen Yanfei sighed softly, her face full of worry, and said, "I have no choice but to go into the clothing business; I know even less about other things. The brands I represent have only recently gained some recognition, and I really have no idea whether they can succeed."

Although Wei Lin said that "Ni Mo" and Qing Que were selling well both online and offline, she still felt uneasy.

Generally speaking, it takes a long time for a new brand to gain widespread market recognition.

Thanks to Li Qinling's influence, "Nimo" and Qingque did become well-known after the New Year. She had also made a special effort to learn about them, but since she had never heard of these two brands before, she still felt that they might not sell much in the early stages.

"Wow, these sportswear items are really expensive!"

Du Jing arrived at Qingque's display area, touched a pair of yoga pants, looked at the price, and clicked her tongue, saying, "Sister Feifei, these yoga pants you're selling are too expensive, they cost more than three hundred! We've helped others try selling similar yoga pants before, and they only cost 99 each. They were also quite comfortable and looked good."

“My wholesale price is more than 99,” Shen Yanfei explained.

She has recently tried on all of Qingque's yoga pants and sweatshirts, and she feels that the texture and comfort are impeccable, much better than what she used to buy herself.

Even she felt that Qingque's yoga pants were too expensive and not many people could afford them.

This is evident from the fact that she started promoting her product on WeChat Moments, but very few people showed any interest in buying it.

Ge Shuang and Jiang Yundie, two kind older sisters, did come to support her and bought a set of Qingque's clothes, but her other loyal customers, after inquiring about the price privately, did not come to make a purchase.

As for the hats from the "Nimo" and "Lin" brands, almost no one inquired about them.

In general, most of her long-term customers, whom she had accumulated through her personal shopping business, were women who did not have a strong desire to buy hats.

However, the price of Qingque was too high, deterring long-time customers.

It's really a bit difficult for her to sell the hats and clothing from both brands using her existing customers.

"Feifei, after seeing your WeChat Moments, I also learned about Qingque."

Wang Lingling compared prices of each garment, expressing her concern as well, saying, "Qingque's fame is entirely due to a celebrity named Li Qinling. Many of Qingque's customers are fans of Li Qinling, as well as some avid fitness enthusiasts."

"How many fans does Li Qinling have in your Linjiang City? Even if she does, they might not even know about your shop."

"If you want to buy Qingque's clothes, there are tons of them online. The prices are all the same anyway, so why not just buy them online?" "Also, Linjiang City is just a small city after all, and there aren't that many rich people. Those who can afford Qingque's prices are mostly wealthy fans of Li Qinling, and there aren't many of them in Linjiang City."

Wang Lingling said.

"I've thought about this too, and I know it won't be smooth sailing in the beginning, but I think things will get better and better later on," Shen Yanfei said with a forced smile.

Wang Lingling didn't say anything more. She and her assistant strolled around and only bought two hats as a token gesture.

At the end of the day, Shen Yanfei's shop did not sell a single piece of Qingque clothing, only a few hats.

That evening, Wei Lin called to ask how the sales were going, and she answered truthfully.
……

Galaxy International.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lin fell into deep thought.

He didn't expect that after Shen Yanfei's shop opened, she wouldn't sell any of the Qingque clothing and hats that day as he had anticipated.

Logically, since he helped Shen Yanfei switch careers and open a clothing store, he should have received some extra affection points, but when he checked the progress bar, he found that he hadn't.

"My advice and suggestions helped her set up a small clothing store, but it only made her more worried and troubled? The affection system says I didn't really help her?"

Wei Lin murmured to himself.

He calmed down and carefully considered where the problem lay.

At Jinxiu Boutique, the products of "Nimo" and Qingque are selling well and have truly gained a foothold. Why then is Shen Yanfei's business suffering setbacks?
platform!

Wei Lin had a clear mind and immediately realized that Jinxiu Boutique needed to improve its marketing, and that Jinxiu Boutique was located almost entirely in big cities, where there were many wealthy and tasteful people.

Jinxiu Boutique has its own stable customer base, and it is itself a symbol of high quality. This platform alone makes it easy for customers to trust it.

With Gao Yuan's deliberate promotion and marketing, and the fact that Qingque and "Nimo" are indeed presentable products, sales were quite good.

He had talked to Hua Hongshan and learned that after Laiyi Clothing put Qingque on its shelves, it did sell some items, but it was still far inferior to Jinxiu Boutique.

Although Lai's reputation isn't very high now, he did have his moment of glory and has a stable customer base.

Huaxing will certainly do its best to promote it, and Qingque has gained fame because of Li Qinling's presence, which is why some of it can be sold through Laiyi.

However, Shen Yanfei lacks a solid platform foundation, and her marketing efforts are likely insufficient. Her previous clients may not necessarily recognize her talent after she changes careers.

“Go and advertise, set up a TV screen to play Li Qinling’s new song MV on a loop, and make some advertising banners and photos, the kind with Li Qinling wearing Qingque and a hat.”

"Display them in various areas of the shop, placing them in the most prominent positions!"

"Your shop has just opened, and not many people are passing by. Even if someone has seen Li Qinling's new song MV, they might not know that you are selling the very things she is wearing and wearing when they pass by your shop."

"Try investing some money in various social media accounts and media outlets that promote themselves to the outside world."

“Take Linjiang City for example, there are also brands that Li Qinling represents that sell online. You can’t try on clothes and hats online, and the size and dimensions may not be accurate. But you can try them on! If you’re satisfied with the result, you can buy them directly, saving you the time of exchanging or returning them.”

While thinking, Wei Lin texted Shen Yanfei, telling her how to run her small shop.

There are many inquiries from Qingque, and many businesses want to join as franchisees or agents. Whether Shen Yanfei's small shop can succeed depends on whether her successful experience can be learned from or even replicated.

If Shen Yanfei succeeds, other franchisees and agents who follow suit will likely succeed as well.

Having solved Shen Yanfei's small shop problem, he could resolve many issues and confidently entrust the goods to those franchisees and agents, utilizing these broader platforms to profit for Qingque.

For him, Shen Yanfei's shop was a pilot project, and its success or failure was crucial.

……

December 2th, Wednesday.

Affection level: 7257/10000.

Life Energy: 95/1000.

Wei Lin woke up early in the morning, checked the Love Value System, and felt as if he had been hit over the head.

Yesterday morning, my affection level was 7316. After a day of accumulation, the affection level not only did not increase, but actually decreased significantly.

He investigated carefully and discovered that his affection points had been reduced by 300 because Shen Yanfei's shop had failed.

This is the first time I've had points deducted since the Love Value system was first introduced!

"Damn it, no matter what, we have to make Shen Yanfei's little shop a success!"

Wei Lin immediately became anxious and prepared to put aside his other tasks to get Shen Yanfei's shop up and running first.
