Chapter 26 Requirements
The sales volume of the online store increased, and Xu Shengnan wanted to apply for a shopping festival on the e-commerce platform. After the qualification review, the platform failed. Xu Shengnan called to ask why. The reason given by the other party was that the shopping festival can only choose those with high traffic.
A corporate store. This is a company policy. Although the staff is very optimistic about "Nan"'s clothing, they can only execute according to the data.
The staff comforted Xu Shengnan that shopping festivals would happen from time to time, so he could still apply. However, Xu Shengnan knew that small merchants in personal stores had no natural traffic at all and did not receive care and attention from the platform. Even if they paid promotion fees, they would not have a good display space.
Because those locations are for large stores, the promotion costs of large stores are higher. To build a large corporate store, you need to first invest hundreds of thousands in deposits and staffing, which can reach millions in one go. This cost is very important for just starting out.
The risk is too great for businesses.
……
When she got busy, she forgot about the investment. Jin Guosheng took the initiative to visit her and then she remembered that she had a relationship with this investor.
"Mr. Jin, we didn't have a good chat at school last time. I should have visited you." Xu Shengnan said apologetically.
"I'm very grateful that you haven't forgotten me." Jin Guosheng responded with a joke.
"Sit down." Xu Shengnan poured tea for Jin Guosheng.
Jin Guosheng took it and said politely: "Mr. Xu, please do it yourself."
Xu Shengnan looked embarrassed, "Don't say that, Mr. Jin, start-up companies have to do everything themselves."
After taking a sip of tea, Jin Guosheng said: "That's good. I like your atmosphere of struggle, improvement, and hard work. It's much better than entrepreneurs who have a solid foundation and only know how to command people. It's too tiring to talk to them.
It’s much easier to communicate with energetic young people.”
"That's because the seniors have already struggled, and I'm still at the starting point." Xu Shengnan added.
"Mr. Xu," Jin Guosheng looked at Xu Shengnan, "I won't beat around the bush, I'm looking for companies to invest in. Although I have no experience in the clothing industry, I am very optimistic about it. Everyone can't live without it, so the market will always be there."
Xu Shengnan looked at Jin Guosheng intently and nodded with a smile.
"Your brand is developing rapidly, and I am very optimistic about it. I came here today just to talk about cooperation with Mr. Xu. Jinguang wants to invest in Nan."
Jin Guosheng stated his intention, but Xu Shengnan did not respond. He asked again: "Mr. Xu, does the brand have no plans to expand its development? Or do you not want to get a share of the pie?"
"Mr. Jin, of course I want to develop and seek cooperation, and I have been doing it. I am very grateful that you think of investing in our company. You said you don't understand the clothing industry, so I will briefly explain that the clothing industry is relatively traditional.
The product design, manufacturing and sales process is very long, and it is unlikely that major changes will occur in the short term. I understand that investment companies generally tend to invest in industries and companies that are short-term and fast." Xu Shengnan did not refuse to invest, but wanted Jin Guosheng to know the situation better.
"I don't want to hide the current status of the company for investment. My brand is just getting started, and the current size is the founder team-about three people."
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect..." Jin Guosheng sighed.
Xu Shengnan was ready to send Jin Guosheng out, "I will cooperate with Mr. Jin when I have a good opportunity to organize the company."
“There are too many young people who contact me and come to my company every day to attract investment. Everyone says that what they are doing is a cutting-edge industry and is about to take off in the mainstream. They are all dazzling APPs.
Well, the hype is all good." Jin Guosheng pointed at Xu Shengnan, "Because of your honest attitude, 'Nan' is the most worthy company to invest in."
……
The company has something to deal with, and Jin Guosheng has to leave first to make an appointment with Xu Shengnan for dinner to discuss in detail in the evening. There is something wrong with the customer's order, and Xiao Fei has to deal with it. Xu Shengnan and shareholder Qian Li go to the appointment together.
As Xu Shengnan drove over, Qian Li stared at his phone and said, "I just checked Jinguang Investment Company, and it's not a small company. Their boss came over to discuss investment. What's going on?"
"Mr. Jin said that he has never been involved in the clothing industry and feels that the market is huge." Xu Shengnan said.
"Then 'Nan' is just right!" Qian Li had expectations in his eyes, but looking at Xu Shengnan's expression, he felt something was not good.
"Mr. Jin wants to buy shares," Xu Shengnan hesitated, "Then I said the current situation of the company is that it is a small company and will not explode."
As soon as Xu Shengnan said these words, Qian Li's heart sank, "Does he think the profit is too small?"
Xu Shengnan lowered his head and said nothing. He hesitated and shook his head and replied: "No, he thinks it is worth investing."
This was a good result, but Xu Shengnan looked worried. Jian Yanyan felt something was wrong, "You don't want to share the shares?"
Xu Shengnan shook his head.
It used to be that I had been struggling to find investment but was running into obstacles. Now investors are coming to my door and I can’t think of anything to worry about. Qian Li then said: "Boss Jin and you are not related to each other. If you still invest after knowing the real situation, then you must have seen the development."
Potential. Investment has risks, and investment companies have their own assessments. Since you are given the opportunity, you can give it a try and achieve win-win cooperation."
Xu Shengnan still frowned, "Mr. Jin said... there is one more request."
"What?" Qian Li asked quickly.
"Tell me to treat me to dinner tonight, and then make your request explicit."
Xu Shengnan was hesitant and confused, and seemed to be unwilling to accept any ordinary request. Qian Li's positive expression also became complicated.
……
Jin Guosheng made an appointment at a club, and Xu Shengnan and Qian Li drove there and followed the navigation system up the mountain.
"This road is a bit long!" Seeing that they entered the deep mountains, Qian Li became cautious, "Why did Mr. Jin choose such a secluded place? This mountain and these trees are so wild!"
Looking at the increasingly natural scenery outside the window, Xu Shengnan didn’t know what to say.
The navigation prompts them to arrive at their destination, which is a quaint courtyard. Xu Shengnan and Qian Li arrived at the box through nine twists and turns. Jin Guosheng was drinking tea inside, and when he saw them arriving, he got up and came over to say hello.
After saying hello, Xu Shengnan immediately introduced Qian Li next to him, "Mr. Jin, this is Qian Li, a shareholder of our company. He is currently doing a live broadcast."

After greeting Qian Li, Jin Guosheng continued: "Let's sit down and talk slowly."
The three of them sat down, and Xu Shengnan continued to talk about the industry and the company's situation. Jin Guosheng listened with waning interest. Qian Li understood Xu Shengnan's hesitation. Jin Guosheng didn't seem to care about the company's business.
"I will come to talk to you only if you and the company have confidence." Jin Guosheng seemed to notice Xu Shengnan's nervousness and said.
Xu Shengnan smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your trust."
"I told you in your company that I have one more request." Jin Guosheng sighed, "There are so many people in the office talking and it's hard to speak, so please come here, alas..."
"You said."
Xu Shengnan said this, but his body stepped back, while Qian Li next to him involuntarily made the same movement.
"Mr. Xu, this is about private life. I hope you don't think that I am unprofessional and like to take advantage." Jin Guosheng said.
Under the table, Xu Shengnan pinched her wrists and turned red, but she still had a calm expression on her face, "Mr. Jin, as long as you can satisfy me, I will be satisfied." She left herself some room, and if she couldn't, she wouldn't talk about it.
Jin Guosheng hesitated and didn't speak, Xu Shengnan and Qian Li were in agony.
"Mr. Jin, if we can be satisfied with our work, we will definitely be satisfied." Qian Li emphasized the work aspect again.
Jin Guosheng looked at Qian Li and then at Xu Shengnan, their expressions froze.
"I invest in clothing companies firstly because I am optimistic about the clothing market, and secondly because I have selfish motives. I am divorced..."
Hearing this, Xu Shengnan thought it was over, and embarrassment was inevitable.
"Mr. Jin, at work..." Xu Shengnan reminded in a low voice.
"Yes, it's work related," Jin Guosheng continued, "Jin Zhi is my daughter, and she has been living with her mother after the divorce. I just recently learned that she likes fashion design, but because of family reasons, she didn't study well and didn't take the exam.
She has been studying on her own since she entered the Department of Fashion Design. I just wanted her to join a company and become a designer."
Neither Xu Shengnan nor Qian Li responded, they just looked at Jin Guosheng blankly.
"Because my ex-wife and I are at loggerheads, I can't help but care about my daughter. Now I just want to help a little bit. If you think it's too much to not distinguish between public and private affairs..."
"No," Qian Li reacted first, "We welcome young people with dreams. She likes fashion design and teaches herself..."
As he said that, Qian Li winked at Xu Shengnan, who immediately answered: "Very motivated."
Hearing this compliment, Jin Guosheng smiled like an old father and said, "If she doesn't admit defeat, she will follow me."
Xu Shengnan and Qian Li both cheered and laughed.
"Then, I will send someone from the company to 'Nan' to discuss the details of the cooperation tomorrow."
Xu Shengnan said there was no problem.
Jin Guosheng raised his glass to them, "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Xu Shengnan and Qian Li said in unison.
……
After eating with Jin Guosheng, Xu Shengnan and Qian Li returned to the car.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Mr. Jin has money, leisure, and love. How could we not agree to arrange for a person with dreams to be a designer? The matter was solved happily." Qian Li smiled.
Say.
When driving down the mountain, the same scenery became darker because of the night. In a different mood, Qian Li said: "The environment here is also great, nature is healing."
After driving for a long time, Xu Shengnan still frowned and did not feel relaxed.
……
After sending Qian Li home, Xu Shengnan went to the studio. The wrong goods were sent to the order, so Xiao Fei had to call the customer to communicate and apologize. After making the last call, Xiao Fei leaned on the chair and sighed tiredly. When he saw Xu Shengnan,
Thumbs up.
"Customer service Xiao Xiao went offline smoothly."
Xu Shengnan forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Fei slowly talked about the delivery situation, and Xu Shengnan frowned and thought. In fact, there have been small mistakes from time to time recently. The main reason is that the sales volume has increased and the manpower has not kept up. If there are small problems in various links, they will accumulate into big problems.
"It used to be that the two of us could handle it, but now we definitely can't," Xu Shengnan said.
Xiao Fei also sighed. When he started, he had to worry about everything, design, investment, production, marketing, and running around pushing clothes. Every day was like a war. Now that sales have finally increased, they even relaxed for a moment to celebrate.
There is no time.
Seeing the tiredness on his brows, Xu Shengnan lowered his head slightly and felt distressed. Xu Shengnan was also very tired, so Xiao Fei pulled her and sat down beside him.
"I used to think that working overtime as a designer was very tiring, but I didn't expect that starting a business would be even more tiring." Xiao Fei sighed.
Xu Shengnan turned to look at Xiao Fei, "Do you regret it? Start a business with me?"
She didn't need to hear the answer, she knew the answer just by looking at his eyes as usual.
