Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 214: Controlling traffic is equivalent to controlling the world! (Please give me a monthly ticket, the first of three updates!)

"Hey? You guys finished so soon?" As Cheng Yi just walked to the door of Handong Hotel, Su Duo ran out from behind a huge jade screen. Her eyes were full of burning gossip fire, and she followed Cheng Yi and asked.

"Why does what you said sound weird?" Cheng Yi looked at Su Duo with a strange expression.

"Don't worry about the details, just tell me what you talked about?" Su Duo asked.

Cheng Yi looked at Su Duo with a serious expression and said habitually: "Children should not pry into adults' affairs."

"Kid? How old are you? I'm 22 years old, okay?" Su Duo said angrily.

"Don't worry about the details." Cheng Yi replied to Su Duo and started walking.

"???" Su Duo was stunned for a few seconds, then angrily chased after him and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, have you never been beaten?"

"Yeah, I've always been the one hitting people, no one else has ever hit me." Cheng Yi nodded.

"You are so shameless when you tell lies. Some time ago, you were even reported in the Jingzhou Daily." Su Duo followed behind Cheng Yi and said sarcastically.

"Don't worry about the details." Cheng Yi said again.

"Wow, if you imitate me again, I'm going to beat you up." Su Duo shouted with a hint of Hong Kong and Taiwan accent.

Cheng Yi stopped and asked, "Miss Su, what Chen Zhi and I discussed is a business secret. Apart from this, do you have anything else to talk to me about?"

"Stingy." Su Duo snorted, and then brought up the old topic again, saying, "Can I ask your girlfriend to be my model for a day?"

"No, not at all." Cheng Yi reiterated: "Besides this, do you have anything else to do?"

"Stingy." Su Duo snorted again and said, "I want to advertise my clothing store on Toutiao.com. Can you let me cut in line?"

Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision on this. You need to go find Zhao Gang. Do you have anything else to do besides this?"

"Fuck, even if I have something else to say, I won't tell you. You won't agree even if I tell you!" Su Duo said angrily, "Cheng Yi, I've never been rejected so many times in my life."

"Then you've made a profit today." Cheng Yi turned and left.

Su Duo's teeth were chattering and his chest was heaving violently with anger.

Seeing Cheng Yi walking out of the main entrance of the hotel, Su Duo immediately followed him.

Cheng Yi had just started pedaling Mulan, and before he could turn the accelerator, Su Duo ran over.

She deliberately bumped into the handlebars, then slumped to the ground delicately, yelling, "Ouch, my knees."

"?" This scene gave Cheng Yi a sense of déjà vu.

"Miss Su, there's no need for you to go this far, right? We can discuss something." Cheng Yi said with a blank expression as he looked at Su Duo who was acting like a spoiled child on the ground.

Su Duo slumped on the ground and said, "Okay, then let your girlfriend be my model for a day."

Cheng Yi shook his head and slowly took out a brand new miniature camera from the bag on his back.

"?" In the moment Su Duo was stunned, Cheng Yi snapped a few photos and said contentedly, "I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain today. Miss Su from the Handong Hotel was scamming innocent college students on the street. If this explosive news were sent to the Jingzhou Daily, it would sell for at least three to five hundred yuan."

"???" Su Duo quickly got up and said angrily, "You, why do you carry a camera with you when you go out?"

"This is called a dash cam, and it's specially designed to deal with people like you." A bright smile broke out on Cheng Yi's face.

He had gone out of his way to buy this Olympus automatic camera. After all, he didn't know the purpose of Chen Zhi's appointment with him. In case Chen Zhi wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, he could bring a camera to record the process. Even if he couldn't save him, at least it could provide the police with some clues to solve the murder case, right?
Before this appointment, Cheng Yi had been observing near the Handong Hotel for a long time. If Chen Zhi brought a lot of people with him, he would take pictures from a distance first, and then hide his electric car and camera in a hidden corner.

If Chen Zhi was alone, he would also go to the meeting alone.

The most important thing for a programmer is to be rigorous. When making an appointment with the enemy, all aspects must be taken into consideration. For example, the fight between Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun in Chaoyang Park is a good negative example. Both of them are programmers, but Zhou Hongyi went there alone without thinking, while Lei Jun scouted the terrain, deployed personnel, and planned an escape route a few days in advance, allowing Zhou Hongyi to achieve the personal achievement of fighting ten people alone.

"Cheng Yi, I was wrong, please forgive me." Su Duo's attitude changed drastically immediately.

For her, making apologies is almost a daily routine. From childhood to adulthood, she has either been apologizing or on the way to apologize.

Su Duo has apologized to almost everyone she knows, including teachers, classmates, friends, and relatives.

"If apologies are useful, what do we need the police for?" Cheng Yi said in a very sarcastic tone, imitating Su Duo's accent.

"You bastard, you are imitating me again!" Su Duo was so angry that he jumped up and down again.

Cheng Yi just waved the camera, and Su Duo immediately stopped talking. She drooped her face and said, "What do you want? You don't want me to sleep with you for the whole night, do you?"

"?" Cheng Yi was choked by Su Duo's words. Is this something a girl can say?
Cheng Yi said with a stern face: "First, you are not allowed to have any ideas about Lin Qingyin in the future. Second, show your most sincere attitude and tell me that you are wrong."

"Okay." Su Duo looked at Cheng Yi seriously and said in the most sincere tone: "You are wrong."

"Alright! You're really good." Cheng Yi was so angry that he laughed. He took out his cell phone and called Zhao Gang, saying, "Brother Zhao, I have some very good news."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't do this." Su Duo didn't even pause for a sentence, pulling Cheng Yi's arm and begging: "Please, if you send this news out, I will be put in solitary confinement for at least a month."

"Su Duo, if you're really bored and have nothing to do, let me recommend a place for you. Our Momo Group's Xizi Hanyan Fashion Design Company has just launched over a dozen new and fashionable clothes. Aren't you interested in clothes? You can go and take a look." Cheng Yi said, "If you think it's feasible, you can also invest some money to participate."

"Is it the maid outfit from last time?" Su Duo's eyes lit up.

"That's more than that." Cheng Yi said, "That maid outfit is just the basics. There are also invisible shorts that lift your hips and invisible bras that squeeze your breasts. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Su Duo's eyes were about to spit fire, and she quickly said, "Come on, take me to see it."

"Get in the car, I'm going there too." Cheng Yi pointed to the back seat.

Su Duo sat in the back seat smoothly, put her arms around Cheng Yi's waist generously, and almost lay on Cheng Yi's back, saying, "Let's go!"

To be honest, Cheng Yi really didn't feel anything when Su Duo hugged him like this.

I'm not talking about the physical feeling, but the feeling on the back.

Su Duo is really too fucking flat.

Soon, Cheng Yi drove Su Duo to Xizi Hanyan's clothing processing workshop.

It was called a processing workshop, but in reality it was just a rented two-story house in a residential complex near a commercial street. This was the standard configuration of most garment factories of the era: a processing workshop plus a storefront was considered a very good garment processing factory.

At the gate of the two-story villa, there is a sign that says Xizi Hanyan Clothing Design Co., Ltd.

In the yard of the villa, several men and women were hanging out to dry washed clothes.

"Wow, is this an evening gown? It's so low-cut, I love it."

"Wow, this dress is so cute. How could it be designed so cutely? I love it too."

"Hmm? This... this pair of stockings is not right. Why is it crotchless?" Su Duo seemed to have discovered a new world. She kept making sounds of amazement while looking through the clothes.

Over the past two months, whenever Cheng Yi was bored, he would casually draw a few clothing designs he liked and then send them to Xi Zihan via email.

Many of the drawings were used by him in the past when he made 3D model pop-up ads. Some were interesting, some were tempting, and some were fashionable.

It covers lolita style, queen style, CEO style, cold style, healing style, tsundere style, and wife style.

What he sent to Xi Zihan were basically the most popular lolita, mature woman and married woman styles.

Lolita-style clothing is pure and cute, suitable for girls who pursue youth and vitality.

The royal sister style clothing is mature and steady, perfectly showing women's confidence and charm.

The wife-style clothing is simple and elegant, revealing a virtuous family atmosphere.

At this time, a tall and thin man walked out of the room. When he saw Cheng Yi, he was startled and said quickly, "Hey, Boss Cheng, how come you have time to come here? Our President Xi is still interviewing new people at the headquarters. I'll call him now."

"No, I just brought a friend over to take a look." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Ms. Su, she is the landlord of our clothing store."

"Hello, Mr. Su." The man hurriedly shook hands with Su Duo.

Cheng Yi introduced Su Duo: "This is Jia Di, the CEO and hairstylist of this clothing company. You can also call him CEO Jia."

"You are really a fake president." Su Duo found it interesting and shook hands with Jia Di.

Cheng Yi said: "Jia Di is a top student at Handong Fashion Institute and a great expert in fashion design and tailoring."

Jia Di smiled shyly and said, "Boss Cheng, you're too kind. I just know how to cut fabric."

"President Jia, please take President Su to the workshop for a tour." Cheng Yi said, "I'll smoke a cigarette outside."

"Okay, Mr. Su, please come in." Jia Di immediately took Su Duo into the workshop.

Cheng Yi has been to Xizi Hanyan's workshop several times. Except that it has not yet started to make a profit, the foundation has been laid.

After all, these are handmade custom-made clothes, and it is difficult to increase the quantity. If the quantity cannot be increased, the profit will be less. This high-end customization route can only achieve profitability if it becomes well-known.

In 2020, the custom-made clothes designed by Xizi Hanyan were sold for as high as 17 yuan per set, becoming the preferred brand for many upper-class socialites in Handong Province. If you don’t wear a custom-made evening gown by Xizi Hanyan to attend high-end parties, you would be embarrassed to say hello to others.

In the harsh e-commerce environment at the time, many online stores on e-commerce platforms with sales exceeding 100 million had a net profit of less than 2 million, while Xizi Hanyan's profit in a week could exceed 5 million.

It can be said that in the era when national clothing profits were squeezed to only 2%, the high-end handmade custom-made industry burst out with tremendous vitality.

However, Cheng Yi did not take the money seriously.

What he values ​​is the huge traffic behind the clothing.

It was an almost terrifying amount of traffic. A Victoria's Secret event could attract the attention of global media, and the popularity was basically in the tens of billions.

Why are so many people paying attention?

To put it bluntly, everyone loves beauty. Many people think that only men like to look at beautiful women, but they don’t know that women sometimes like to look at beautiful women more than men.

Nowadays, if you control the traffic, you are equivalent to controlling the world's direction.

We have to uncover the secret of Xizi Hanyan.

It would be better to create some negative news, such as accidentally leaking something, which would trigger outcry from the people across the country and fierce criticism from the media.

Then hire a group of internet trolls to sit on major forums and spray and curse non-stop.

What is immoral and what is morally corrupt? The world is going downhill. They can curse as harshly as they can.

No matter how well you do in many things, it’s useless because they won’t waste their precious time praising you.

But if they just follow the trend and scold you, they can give up their precious lunch break.

What is journalism? Journalism doesn't actually require any technical skills. Those with a knack for it don't need to learn it, and those without a knack will never learn it.

This is also the reason why many education experts do not recommend ordinary people to apply for journalism.

Because this industry relies too much on talent and background.

The steps for creating explosive news are actually similar to those for putting an elephant in a refrigerator. There are three steps: the first step is to find hot spots, the second step is to create conflicts, and the third step is to detonate these conflicts.

After finishing his cigarette, Cheng Yi called Xi Zihan and said, "Boss Xi, please stop all your work for the next few days and help me make a batch of special clothes."

"Okay, boss, please send me the drawings." Xi Zihan said immediately.

"The blueprints are on my office computer. Open the Momo Legend UI folder on your desktop. There are pictures of costumes for various characters. Take a look first, and then help me design the 3D costumes. I'll make adjustments when I get back." Cheng Yi instructed, "Also, help me select 20 models with good figures in advance. I'm going to hold several cosplay fashion shows in Jingzhou City in a few days."

"Okay." Xi Zihan responded quickly.

As soon as Cheng Yi hung up the phone, he saw Su Duo running into the yard with an excited look on her face. She looked at Cheng Yi excitedly and said, "Cheng Yi, you actually got such a big treasure. You are really amazing. I want to invest in it. Name a price."

"Ten million, 10% of the shares." Cheng Yi stretched out a finger.

"Damn, another ten million? With ten million I can buy you all to be my Filipino maids." Su Duo jumped up and down again.
