Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 184 Make up lessons!

After receiving Li Yi's affirmative response, Zheng Manyue returned to her residence near the school gate.

The weather was getting cold, so Li Yi gave her some clothes, which she thought were very beautiful.

During this period, she also pestered Li Yi to take some photos for her.

She discovered that Li Yi was most likely not a private photographer, but had studied in an island country.

He could even shoot from the male protagonist's perspective, and several of the photos made her blush.

But being with Li Yi, I'm really a little addicted.

It was a brand new life, filled with freshness and excitement every day.

Looking back on the past, even on the first night, I seemed to be half-hearted.

Until now, I even begged him to come over.

Some people say that Li Yi is not a good person.

She admitted it, but she wasn't a good person either.

I never thought that I would be immersed in such things, even though they were obviously the behavior of a bad woman.

I am a bad woman, and I just happen to be paired with a scumbag.

I took a look at myself and it seemed like I was still wearing underwear?
What kind of underwear does a bad woman wear? Really!
……

When Li Yi came here, he brought food to Zheng Manyue.

Of course, I used my roommate’s card.

His campus card has always been in Yu Jing's hand, otherwise he would have been annoyed by the daily morning exercise punch-in.

The food in the cafeteria is not delicious, but it is definitely not bad, and the price-performance ratio is very high.

Two freshly-baked green pepper and ham pancakes, a serving of barbecue rice, and Li Yi’s favorite roujiamo.

This Roujiamo was particularly solid because... Song Xin worked at the window of that restaurant. After seeing him, he stuffed five yuan worth of food into the two yuan Roujiamo.

Li Yi was very clear about the income from his part-time job at the school cafeteria window.

For example, the window where Song Xin works earns 200 yuan a month, and he has to work at least 25 days a month, at least four hours a day.

The average hourly wage is two dollars.

Although there is no concept of hourly wages in China, based on the salary and income data in Yunzhou, the average hourly wage should be around 11 yuan.

Li Yi had done all of this in his previous life, and the money he earned was barely enough to maintain his dignity as a student.

From this perspective, the 300 yuan Song Xin gives himself every month is not a small amount considering the cheap labor force of college students.

"Is this tenderloin pancake from the school cafeteria this big now?"

Zheng Manyue picked one up, took a bite, and asked a question.

"I said I was buying food for Teacher Zheng, but they secretly stuffed so much into your mouth because they knew you have a big appetite."

If you don’t have a big appetite, you won’t be able to create the famous full moon scene.

Li Yi wasn't sure how big it was, but... it was definitely an extreme feel, impossible to control...

Those who sell cars often advertise that their steering wheels are made of genuine leather.

Because it not only looks good, but also feels better.

No matter how fast the speed is, it will not slip.

That kind of plastic steering wheel doesn't give you any sense of dependence when driving fast.

When steering, if you are not careful, your hand may slip and the car may run off the track.

"How many people know me? My classmates?"

"almost……"

"Who are they? Are their families poor? Why haven't I seen them apply for financial aid?"

"I have already applied. They asked me to apply."

"what?"

"Since I'm so helpful, Teacher Zheng, would you like to reward me?"

"what?"

Zheng Manyue lowered her head and stammered, "Twice."

Li Yi: “…”

……

Li Yi has a pretty good relationship with his roommates.

Moreover, the guys in the dormitory are quite loyal. He missed a lot of classes during this period, but was only discovered once.

Someone helped him carry it!

Who it was exactly, he was not in school, so there was no way of knowing.

He didn't believe what Yang Ruoxue said.

How could it be that bastard He Yonghua? That guy hated me to death, but he was just too timid and didn't dare to question me face to face.

What a coward!
In December, the weather is getting colder.

MINISO’s Swan Dream series has welcomed several hit products.

When Yang Ruoxue put it on and posted the photos online, it attracted the envy of countless girls.

These clothes are so beautiful.

At this time, Yang Ruoxue's number of fans has exceeded 1.2 million.

There are even some counterfeit styles appearing on the market, and Li Yi knows that things can’t be delayed any longer.

If you continue to delay, you are essentially working for others.

The situation with those counterfeit products is very complicated, and even if you want to sue, you may not win.

Li Yi personally posted a post on Yang Ruoxue's Weibo account: "Ladies, the MINISO you've been looking for, the Swan Dream series, is here! Click the link below to pre-order, and it'll ship within a month. This is a limited edition, only 10,000 sets, and they won't be returning in the future..."

There are three models in the Swan Dream winter series.

Actually, the only difference is the color, everything else is similar.

In the reservation link, the price is 1799 per set...

In fact, the manufacturer's production cost is 98 and the shipping cost is 168.

After Duocai Duoyi Studio purchased it, it sold it to Wuyou Media at a price of 899. Wuyou Media then sold it to Yang Ruoxue Studio at a price of 1499.

Yang Ruoxue's studio is naturally also controlled by Li Yi.

However, Yang Ruoxue owns 10% of the shares in it.

After several rounds of transactions, Li Yi took almost all the profits. On Yang Ruoxue's studio's side, the various costs and expenses were also not small.

……

"Li Yi, how much is the order volume?"

Yang Ruoxue was extremely concerned about this data, but she couldn't see the backend.

She was already very happy to own a 10% stake in her own studio.

She never thought that the monetization channel provided by the company would be this kind.

If she could sell all 10,000 sets, she would get 300,000.

The company treated her very well and helped her avoid many other expenses.

Such as after-sales costs, logistics costs, etc.

"Only more than 400 sets..."

"Ah? Only this much..."

"It hasn't started yet, don't worry..."

Li Yi didn't just post a Weibo and call it a day.

If you want to sell something, you have to use some tricks.

Half a day after the sale, the relevant pre-sale link on Taobao showed that there were no spots left and reservations could no longer be made.

Li Yi then posted another Weibo post using Yang Ruoxue's account. "Ladies, you're so enthusiastic! All 10,000 sets have already been snapped up. We might have some returns from customers. Every evening at 8:00 PM, we'll release all the returns. If you're interested, please keep an eye on us. By the way, if you don't like the clothes after you get them, please don't remove the nameplates. As long as the nameplates are attached and the clothes don't affect resale, you can return them without reason within 30 days, while others can return them within 7 days."

The price is indeed very expensive, but in fact, because of the effect of Yang Ruoxue's upper body, it is not difficult for everyone to accept it.

There are quite a lot of clothes on the market that cost several thousand yuan, and in many stores, any piece of clothing costs one or two thousand yuan.

Li Yi knew very well that in half a day, there were only more than 600 orders.

He had to create a fiery scene.

It’s just like the rush to buy Moutai. More than eight million people rush to buy Moutai priced at 1499 yuan every day, but less than one-tenth of them are willing to sell it after actually getting it.

Most people just join in the fun and won’t sell the items in the short term after grabbing them.

After posting this Weibo, the internet trolls arranged by Li Yi also went out.

A lot of comments started to be posted in Yang Ruoxue's comment section.

"Girls, if anyone has grabbed this, can you please change the order? I'm willing to give you fifty yuan as a reward."

"Model M, white. If anyone has snatched it up, could you please give it to me without unpacking it? I can give you a hundred yuan bonus."

"Is anyone here to help me grab the order? The stock will be released at 8 o'clock. Please help me grab the order..."

"Girls, if you manage to snatch something, please add me. I'll buy it back at a high price..."

Some people in the comment section said that they had grabbed it, and then they immediately received dozens of private messages.

Ask the other party if they are willing to transfer. If they are, you can offer a certain premium.

But they are basically around one hundred.

Li Yi couldn't offer too high a premium, otherwise people would really sell it.

The main purpose of offering a premium of more than one hundred yuan is to give customers who have already placed an order a feeling that what they have purchased is very cost-effective and that others are willing to pay more for it.

As long as this atmosphere continues, we can raise the price after a while, for example, to 150 yuan in January next year and to 200 yuan in March next year.

It will give people the illusion that they are cherishing it more and more, and many people who are not short of money will hold it in their hands.

Even if some individuals are willing to sell, Li Yi will buy it back immediately, and the cost is not high.

As a result of this, not only the girls started to rush to buy, but the boys couldn't sit still either.

It would be nice to earn some pocket money.

After all, the water army arranged by Li Yi couldn't tell who got the order...

Anyway, as long as someone says in the comment section that they have grabbed it, they will immediately be bombarded with private messages.

Doing this will also lead to the emergence of professional scalpers.

Some people make money by doing this, and they sell the things they grab.

However, at the same time, the need to rush to buy has also given rise to a group of customers who are willing to pay a higher price to buy.

As long as a balance is reached between the two, the impact on overall sales will not be significant.

The first batch of goods was sent out on the same day because there was stock.

At eight o'clock that evening, five hundred orders were placed and they were all sold out in just two minutes.

At eight o'clock the next evening, another 500 orders were placed, and they were gone in one minute.

On the third day, some people had already received the goods, tried on the clothes, took photos and posted them in the comment section. Great!

In fact, those photos were all taken by Li Yi, and Yu Jing also served as a water army material.

On the other hand, Xia Panpan also took a set of pictures and posted them on Weibo.

When this set of clothes became popular, many other female internet celebrities would also try to buy one to take photos with.

The entire sales system forms a closed loop.

Just 10,000 sets, no more.

After the Miniso store opens, Li Yi will release a special commemorative edition of 100 sets, invite some people to queue up overnight, and then post them online...

Live together!

On the fifth and sixth days, more and more people posted photos online. Some girls even became Internet celebrities because of this outfit and gained thousands of fans.

Even if Li Yi released 3,000 sets at 8 o'clock every night, they would be sold out within a minute.

It is true that some people are selling orders privately, but Li Yi can still treat the recovered orders as inventory and release them again.

As for the recovered spot goods, they can also be sold last.

The Swan Dream winter series is so popular.

Even if this outfit is not suitable for everyday wear, you can still wear it and take a few photos to make your netizens envious and your friends jealous, and the emotional value is sufficient.

In less than ten days, 10,000 sets of clothing were sold out, and there were still orders for more than 6,000 sets, which were being produced overtime.

As for Yang Ruoxue, girls in school would add her every day and ask if they could sell her a set of Swan Dream privately.

But... Yang Ruoxue doesn't have any goods either...

She asks Li Yi every day how many orders he has received.

But Li Yi never gave an accurate answer.

"Li Yi, how many have you sold so far? If you can't sell them all, I have several senior students who want to buy them..."

“They’re all sold out!”

"Huh? Sold out? So quickly?"

"Well, it's out of stock."

Yang Ruoxue couldn't believe her eyes. "So, can I get 300,000 next month?"

She realized she had made a fortune!
"Strictly speaking, it will take at least two months to get the money back this time, after all, there are still a lot of orders that have not been delivered."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean... the New Year is almost over..."

"I'll apply to the company and see if I can send it to you before the New Year."

"Really? Li Yi, I really love you!"

It was impossible for Yang Ruoxue to remain calm when facing hundreds of thousands of people.

She has endured for so long and is finally going to be on the same level as Xia Panpan.

Although it is not as direct as Xia Panpan's income, and it is impossible to earn so much every month.

That’s three hundred thousand!
Her parents have worked all their lives, but their savings do not exceed 30,000 yuan.

"Don't be too happy too soon. The company has paid a huge price and borne considerable costs. If you breach the contract in the future, the penalty will be an astronomical figure."

"Yeah, I know. I promise I won't fall in love, I won't say anything nonsense online, and I won't lose my temper in public..."

"You can't negotiate even if you want to. Who can afford to pay the penalty? This time, your penalty will be over 100 million!"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, there's a new set of clothes. I'll come back on Saturday or Sunday to take pictures. It's from the Fuwa series and will be on sale during the Chinese New Year..."

"No problem, no problem!"

"Then do your best!"

"Well, thank you, you saved me."

"It's okay, I've feasted my eyes too."

"If you want to see it, I'll show it to you anytime."

……

Li Yi actually wanted to release a Christmas uniform, but the current market was not particularly large, and the time was too tight, so he couldn't sell many pieces.

Make it first, let Yang Ruoxue test it out, make a sample, and then sell it next year.

I had thought of the New Year Fuwa set a long time ago and I had plenty of time.

Thinking of the Fuwa suit, he suddenly thought of Zheng Manyue.

If Zheng Manyue put it on...

I glanced at the time and realized it was time to go to make up lessons again!
