An An's words seemed to have given Li Jing a signal that he couldn't wait for. As a clever person, his brain started racing quickly, following the train of thought that An An had provided. His first reaction was the source of the fabric. He had been working in procurement at the garment factory since he was in his teens and had built up extensive connections with suppliers over the years.
If he wants to go solo, he'll have to start from scratch, first solving the problem of sourcing materials, and then finding a location. He definitely can't set up shop in this area, the competition is too fierce, there are already two stores on this street alone, and it's impossible for him to compete with his old store.
So this address is quite far away.
An'an saw Li Jingyu deep in thought, so she got up and walked to the window. The people downstairs were coming and going, and when she looked out into the distance, it seemed that the streets across from them were even more lively than their own side.
An An turned her head, pointing at the street across from them, curiously asking, "Do you guys know what that street over there is for? Why are there so many people?"
The most familiar with this place is Li Jingyue. When he heard Anan's inquiry, he stood up and took a look outside. He said, "That side is the old street, where many ordinary people have settled down, but those who are slightly better off have moved out from there. Compared to the environment on that side, New Street is more comfortable." At least it won't be so noisy.
An'an thought for a moment, "Young uncle, do you have a suitable location?"
Li Jingyue is having a headache over the location, as the two best locations for the garment factory have already been occupied by others. If they open on Nanjing Road, although the geographical location is good, the rent is too high, even higher than the current storefront's rent. This way, all the money each month would go to rent, and another point is that although Nanjing Road is a wealthy area, it's worth noting that no matter what era, poor people always outnumber rich people, in terms of foot traffic, Laojie's foot traffic is also greater than Nanjing Road's.
Li Jingyue directly expressed her concerns afterwards.
An'an listened and afterwards, her slender fingers gazed vaguely at the window railing. Her gaze was fixed firmly on a certain spot in the old street, if she wasn't mistaken, not far from there was the most prosperous place according to Li Jingyue's words.
But there is one more thing, An'an remembers that the most dilapidated and old street she had an impression of became a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold not long after.
In front of it, there are countless ordinary families who have become demolition households overnight.
But all these are many years later, An an directly said, "If you open a new store on the old street, what do you think?"
Li Jingyue couldn't understand it. "The environment over there is very poor, and the people living there are ordinary, why?" If it were him, he would have ruled out this place first.
"Low rent and high foot traffic."
"The rent is cheap, but the people here can't afford it."
An An suddenly smiled, "Then let's do what they can afford." The clothes afterwards were all the cheapest, relying on sales volume to survive. However, she couldn't say this now. She took a step forward and walked to the edge of the table, pulled out a small notebook from her body, and scribbled on it, "Little uncle, if at the intersection of Old Street and Nanjing Road, what do you think of this location?"
Li Jingyue was taken aback for a moment, ah! How come he didn't think of it? This way, they can occupy the pedestrian traffic on Lao Jie and the prosperity of Nanjing Road. And the location drawn by An'an is still empty, why? Because business people are unwilling to get too close to Lao Jie, and even more so, they don't want to deal with poor devils.
So that piece of land has always been left empty.
Li Jingyue suddenly turned her head and looked towards the intersection of Laojie Street and Nanjing Road, where there was a huge flow of people passing by every day. However, it seemed that everyone was in a hurry to come and go, and not many stayed behind.
But what if there was suddenly another store here!
Li Jingyue's eyes flashed with ambition, he walked to the table and said directly, "Now it's just a matter of technique and tailoring, I know retired old tailors, but what about technique?"
An An knew that this was enough to thoroughly stir up Li Jingyue's ambition, she smiled and said "I'll take care of the technical aspects, I'll give you three draft diagrams tonight." However, when it came to this point, An An paused, "If we're going to find a storefront in the old street, let's just buy one directly! Don't rent."
Li Jingyue was somewhat embarrassed, "If I buy it directly, it will be very expensive, and the money in my hand is not enough." He didn't cry, but told the truth. Don't look at his bright appearance, most of his money was actually pressed on the goods in the store. The business had been average for some time, and only with Anan and Chengcheng's help today, they managed to sell out all the goods that would have taken a week before in just half a day.
An an was surprised, but thinking about it, she had also gone to the sales department in the morning and estimated that the clothes in that house had cost Li Jingyue a lot of money. She hesitated, "As for the money, I'll think of a way." After finishing speaking, she found six eyes staring at her.
This is no small sum of money, and yet a young girl in her early teens has boasted that she will come up with a way to pay for it herself.
It's really surprising, but Li Jingyue thought for a moment and remembered that when they were at the entrance of the shop earlier, An'an's object was directly taken out of a small bundle of big knots. If Lu Yan helped her from behind, it wouldn't be a problem after all.
Even Xu Chengcheng thinks so, Anan's money might have been helped by Lu Yan.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
An An didn't explain, after all, if she didn't have Lu Yan, it would be hard for her to tell others where the money in her hands came from. But what made An An's head ache was how to deal with Lu Yan. Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Lu Yan.
It was Lu Yan who took a deep look at An An, he understood the little girl in front of him better than anyone else. Since she said that Qian would think of a way to get the money herself, it meant that she wouldn't take the money from him. In other words, this little girl could come up with a large sum of money on her own, and the doubt in his eyes deepened even more.
A student who doesn't even leave the campus gate or step out of their dormitory, how can they have so much money?
It's getting more and more mysterious.
After this was settled, the dishes on the table were also complete. Because Anan and Li Jingyue's minds were not on the dinner table, they all ran outside, so after a hasty meal, they left from here.
On the way back to the city, Xu Chengcheng and Li Jingyue took a car together.
An An and Lu Yan were sitting in a car, before Lu Yan could ask any questions, An An voluntarily surrendered, "My money is absolutely not stolen or robbed, it's all legitimate income. Brother Yan, don't ask me where I got it from, anyway, I won't say." At this point, An An continued, "Just like the small bundle of cash you took out before, I didn't ask you where it came from either."
Anyway, this girl raised her chin and had a look of refusing to say anything even if she was beaten to death, making Lu Yan laugh and cry at the same time.
