Chapter 1034: Encountering Wang Ruomei

Wu Hongkang pondered for a moment, stood up, went to the front desk to page Zhou Andong, and left his name and phone number.

Then he returned to the rest area and picked up the newspaper. Only then did he see that it was actually the Youth Daily.

The influence of the Youth Daily was still quite large. Wu Hongkang became increasingly worried that as the incident fermented, would Zhou Andong's speech cause a bigger chain reaction?

And at this time, Zhou Andong was strolling around the wholesale market with Seeing Jian Qiu. Because the environment was noisy, he didn't hear the pager beep at all.

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "If you weren't beautiful, you would have been beaten out long ago. Asking the price is enough; how can you not buy it after bargaining?"

Seeing Jian Qiu laughed: "After I bargained, they sold it to me so readily; it must be that the price I gave was high, so of course I can't buy it."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes, walked into a clothing store at random: "Boss, how much is this pair of jeans?"

A woman was squatting on the ground, organizing clothes. Hearing someone ask the price, she looked up, then was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted with surprise.

"Zhou Andong, Director Jian!"

"Ruomei!" Seeing Jian Qiu also called out with surprise.

This female boss was actually Wang Ruomei, whom they hadn't seen for a long time: "Why did you come to Yangcheng?"

Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile: "To attend the Entrepreneur Forum."

"Oh, right!" Wang Ruomei patted her head: "The news reports about the Entrepreneur Forum every day; I should have thought that you would come to attend."

Zhou Andong looked at the clothing store; it was larger than the ones next to it: "Your shop area is not small."

Wang Ruomei said: "It was small before too, but in May, I rented the shop next door and opened it up."

"Looks like business is good." Zhou Andong walked around inside.

Seeing Jian Qiu asked: "With such a large shop, can you handle it by yourself?"

"I hired two shop assistants." Wang Ruomei found two stools: "They went to pick up goods and will be back soon."

Zhou Andong looked at Wang Ruomei. Her hair was cut short and permed in small curls. She was wearing a yellow lace-trimmed blouse on top, denim shorts on the bottom, and platform shoes that had just become popular on her feet.

Yes, it was that kind of shoe with a very, very thick sole, which was as ugly as could be.

Having lived two lives, Zhou Andong couldn't understand how such ugly shoes became popular, and they remained popular for many years.

Seeing Jian Qiu pulled Wang Ruomei to sit down: "When you left Jiangzhou, you came to Yangcheng?"

"No!" Wang Ruomei shook her head: "I first went to Jingcheng, practiced setting up a stall for more than a month. At first, I took goods from second-hand dealers."

"Later, I heard that those second-hand dealers all took goods in Yangcheng, which was very cheap, so I ran to Yangcheng. I stayed for more than ten days, running through all the large and small wholesale markets, and still felt that the quality of goods here was good and cheap."

"Then I prepared to find a shop to cooperate with long-term, so the price of taking goods would be cheaper, and if there were new styles, they would contact me first, so I wouldn't have to come over and could just have the goods sent to Jingcheng."

Zhou Andong asked curiously: "Then why did you stay in Yangcheng?"

Wang Ruomei smiled: "It was a coincidence. The boss of the shop I'm renting now was in a hurry to go abroad. After knowing my intention, he asked me if I was interested in taking over the shop."

"I agreed without even thinking, and then he brought me for half a month, smoothing out the supply channels and the customers in his hands before leaving. It was also fortunate that you lent me the money back then, otherwise I would have definitely missed such a good opportunity."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Opportunities are for those who are prepared; you must have thought about staying in Yangcheng in your heart, otherwise you would definitely have hesitated."

"My reputation in Jiangzhou was already stinking. After divorcing Yao Qixin, my family didn't understand me either, and even my younger brother scolded me for being shameless. My father took a hoe and beat me out of the house."

Wang Ruomei said, still wearing a smile on her face, as if she wasn't talking about herself, but someone else.

"I had nothing left, so I didn't fear having nothing, only believing in moving forward. I want to carve out a piece of sky for myself, let those who looked down on me and insulted me see that I, Wang Ruomei, don't rely on anyone and can still live brilliantly."

Zhou Andong said: "Life is about being born and living on. No matter how many difficulties there are, no matter how others look at it, since you've come on this journey of life, live out the way you want."

Seeing Jian Qiu hugged Wang Ruomei's shoulder: "I believe that in the near future, no one will dare to look down on you again."

Zhou Andong asked: "Have you ever thought about making the business bigger?"

"Yes, I can't guard this wholesale shop for a lifetime." Wang Ruomei lifted her foot: "See these shoes? They just became popular in Japan, and they are very popular in Yangcheng now. I feel they will soon become popular in the country."

"I've already rented a factory building, bought old machines eliminated by big shoe factories, and am recruiting skilled workers, just to make these shoes and sell them to the Northeast."

Zhou Andong asked with a smile: "Why sell to the Northeast? Are other places not okay?"

Wang Ruomei said: "Compared to coastal areas, especially cities like Yangcheng that lead the country's fashion, the Northeast region is far behind."

"And the most important point is that due to the lag of information and the constraints of transportation, the fashion trend in the Northeast region is slower than Yangcheng by half a year or even a year."

"In addition, the consumer concept hasn't formed a qualitative change, and the lack of initiative in demands is also a major reason for the lag of fashion trends in the Northeast region."

"So, I want to build my own clothing brand, guide consumers in the Northeast region to actively pursue fashion changes, and become fashionable people who follow the trend."

Seeing Jian Qiu nodded: "The Northeast region is a blank area for fashion. Even Jingcheng, the political center, relative to Yangcheng and Shanghai, also has a lag in fashion trends."

"Right!" Wang Ruomei became more excited as she spoke: "The Northeast market is very large. Taking advantage of the fact that no one has noticed yet, I can definitely take it down quickly. Once I open up the Northeast market, I'll use the Northeast as a base and make a comeback."

Zhou Andong still understood Wang Ruomei. She was bold, and although she didn't have much culture, she was absolutely smart.

He didn't doubt that these things were figured out by Wang Ruomei herself.

However, he didn't believe that Wang Ruomei could summarize them so well.

What consumer concept, what lag in fashion trends, guiding consumers to actively pursue fashion changes.

This absolutely wasn't something she could summarize; the only possibility was that this woman had met an expert for guidance.

"Ruomei!"

Very suddenly, a young man who was thin and tall, about 28 or 29 years old, wearing near-sighted glasses, holding a lunch box, and speaking very standard Mandarin, shouted at the shop door.
