"Boss Wang Yi is truly young and accomplished, I, Shen, admire you! I admire you!"
Shen Wannian held Wang Yi's hand, showering him with praise.
Wang Yi was speechless:
"Boss Shen, you flatter me; it's just good luck."
"Good luck? Not at all! If this is just good luck, I'm afraid you could win 200 million in the lottery!"
Shen Wannian laughed heartily, feeling that Wang Yi in front of him was simply too amazing.
He was truly a powerful family all by himself!
Their Shen family achieved what they have today because his father's generation was already in business!
And his wife, Du Lanfang's family, was quite powerful and well-connected.
The Shen and Du families united through marriage, a powerful combination, which led to the vast Shen's Garment Factory.
However, there were too many factories in Jiangcheng, and competition was fierce, resulting in Shen's not having many orders.
For a factory, as long as there are orders, even if it doesn't make money, it's considered good.
But once there are no orders, they have to lose money every day.
Even if they don't operate, even if piece-rate workers' wages don't need to be paid, the monthly salaries of regular workers like management and repairmen must still be paid!
Just like the former Qiuyun Garment Factory, it had few orders and couldn't make ends meet.
Not only did nearly ten million invested go down the drain, but it also lost money every day!
Fortunately, they met Wang Yi, and coupled with their shrewd daughter, they directly gave the money-losing garment factory to Wang Yi in exchange for a huge order of ten million pieces!
Now, the factory was no longer losing money, and the Shen family also gained tens of millions in profit.
Clinging to Qiuyun, that powerful support, was a good move!
Shen Wannian was full of admiration:
"Boss Wang Yi, to make Meiyou so big in such a short time, it's truly remarkable."
"I was also forced into it,"
Wang Yi sighed.
Many people felt that Meiyou's growth to this extent in just a few months was too fast, and a year would be more reasonable.
But in reality, if Meiyou only grew big in a year, Meiyou would have died long ago!
It would have been copied and crushed by capital long ago!
In fact, real business competition is far more brutal than everyone imagines.
And the speed of real business development is much faster than everyone imagines.
For example, Kudi Coffee only opened its first store at the end of October 2022, but in three months, it opened 1,300 stores!
In six months, it opened 5,000 stores!
Kudi Coffee completed Luckin's five-year journey in one year!
This is the true speed of business!
Compared to Kudi Coffee, Meiyou's current development is considered slow!
More importantly, whether it's Meiyou's core function of tracking and predicting periods, or pure desire style dresses, or new lipstick shades, they are all too easily copied by capital!
If Meiyou developed slowly, only growing big in a year, capital would have mass-copied and followed suit long ago!
Relying on capital's terrifying financial resources and assets, they would develop faster than Wang Yi and could grow big in a month!
Opening 2,000 physical stores in two months, and 10,000 physical stores in half a year, would be no problem!
By then, everywhere would be capital's copycat stores, where would Meiyou's room to survive be?
How could Wang Yi still develop slowly?
Wang Yi would have gone bankrupt long ago, and there would be no Meiyou today!
As a reborner, it was precisely because Wang Yi understood the power of capital and the speed of capital's copying that he had no choice but to push forward at full speed and make Meiyou big as quickly as possible!
Now, Meiyou has been established, and its core barriers have also been built.
If capital wants to copy, it's too late!
For this kind of innovative thing, either don't do it, or if you do, concentrate all your energy and build it up rapidly in the shortest time possible!
Otherwise, you can only be crushed by copycats and pave the way for capital!
Examples of copies defeating originals abound.
For example, Oreo cookies.
Few people know that it was Sunshine Company that invented the new cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers and a cream filling.
Oreo thought it was great, directly copied it, and then, relying on their financial and material resources, heavily promoted it and wildly advertised it...
The result is obvious: no one remembered Sunshine Company as the originator, only Oreo cookies!
Many people even think this type of cookie was invented by Oreo...
Wang Yi certainly didn't want to be a Sunshine Company killed by followers, so he could only make Meiyou big in the shortest time possible.
Entrepreneurs, fast or perish!
Shen Qiuyun watched her dad and Wang Yi chatting and laughing, completely ignoring her, and felt a bit wronged.
She resolutely looked at Du Lanfang next to her:
"Mom."
Unexpectedly, Du Lanfang was also sizing up Wang Yi, nodding repeatedly, becoming more satisfied the more she looked:
"He's truly a handsome young man; he's handsome, talented, capable, and his future is boundless!"
"I wonder whose daughter has such good fortune to be able to marry into the Wang family!"
She then walked around Shen Qiuyun and went straight to Wang Yi, extending her hand with a smile:
"Boss Wang Yi, thank you for bringing Qiuyun back. This girl just doesn't stay home and doesn't come back even for an entire summer vacation."
"Auntie, you're too kind. Qiuyun is still very reliable,"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
Shen Qiuyun watched her parents all revolving around Wang Yi, completely ignoring her, and felt completely upset:
"Could it be that I was a bonus gift for topping up a phone bill?"
Afterwards, the group arrived at Shen's Garment Factory.
The two elders personally took Wang Yi on a tour.
Shen's Garment Factory was much larger than Qiuyun, Miansen, and Dongrui.
With first-class hanging production lines, the factory building stretched as far as the eye could see, and a daily production of 150,000-200,000 pieces was not a problem!
It was precisely because of this that if orders were insufficient, there would be serious losses.
The equipment and such were also first-class.
In terms of craftsmanship, it was even more impeccable.
"Boss Wang Yi, rest assured, some international big brand clothing are all manufactured by us, absolutely no problem!"
Shen Wannian patted his chest and guaranteed:
"For your order, I will definitely arrange for the most skilled garment workers to do it, ensuring quality, quantity, and efficiency!"
A huge order of ten million pieces a year definitely needs to be handled well!
Wang Yi nodded:
"When I first met Qiuyun, I felt she was reliable. As expected, Auntie and Uncle are also reliable people, so I am very confident entrusting these orders to Shen's. However, I'd like to open up a new project, for example, one-piece dropshipping."
"One-piece dropshipping?"
Shen Wannian was a bit hesitant:
"We are garment OEM manufacturers. Once made, we ship out full truckloads directly to the customer's designated warehouse. This one-piece dropshipping, we really haven't tried before."
Shen Qiuyun quickly said:
"Dad, we actually need to keep up with the times. In the past, they were all physical stores, and shipping full truckloads was fine. Now it's the e-commerce era, and one-piece dropshipping is normal. If our Shen's can also do one-piece dropshipping, producing for customers and shipping instantly, future orders will also be much more!"
"Is that so?"
Shen Wannian was still a bit hesitant.
After all, they would still have to set up a warehouse and hire people to ship...
Wang Yi couldn't help but look at Shen Qiuyun with new respect.
Regardless of whether this girl was a "contrast bitch," her vision and ability were undeniable.
Previously, she directly gave the factory to him in exchange for a huge order of ten million.
Others thought it was crazy, but she just did it and made a huge profit.
And now, supporting one-piece dropshipping shows even greater vision.
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Qiuyun is right. For example, among three OEM factories with the same price and the same craftsmanship, clothing brands will definitely choose the one that supports one-piece dropshipping! This can save the brand a lot of costs, and the OEM factory can also get more orders!"
Shen Wannian thought about it:
"That makes sense. All right, I'll arrange for people immediately to provide one-piece dropshipping for Meiyou!"
Wang Yi beamed with joy:
"Don't worry, Meiyou will pay for the cost of one-piece dropshipping per piece; it won't make Shen's lose money, and can even make a little profit!"
Shen Wannian beamed with joy; he thought it would be a losing venture, but it could actually make money!
"Boss Wang Yi, no need to make a profit. As long as you cover the cost of one-piece dropshipping and don't let me lose money, that's fine. Hahahaha."
"That won't do, fair is fair."
Wang Yi waved his hand.
With Shen's Garment Factory supporting one-piece dropshipping, Meiyou Mall's southern online orders could be directly shipped from Shen's warehouse.
Compared to shipping goods to Jizhou and then shipping from Jizhou, it undoubtedly saves much more money!
That evening, the Shen family lavishly entertained Wang Yi, and all guests were in high spirits.
Finally, they also had Shen Qiuyun personally take Wang Yi back to the five-star hotel.
Back home, Shen Qiuyun was a bit unhappy:
"Tell me, was I a bonus gift for topping up a phone bill!"
"Hahahaha."
The two elders both laughed.
As they chatted, they talked about Wang Yi again.
Shen Wannian was filled with emotion:
"Boss Wang Yi is truly a talent, accomplished at a young age. If Qiuyun could develop a relationship with him, that would be great!"
Shen Qiuyun was completely speechless: "..."
Du Lanfang next to her sighed:
"Don't even think about such a good thing, you're not worthy."
Shen Qiuyun nodded:
"My mom still cares about me! I certainly don't want to be with that guy."
Du Lanfang's willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed:
"I meant to say, you're not worthy of Boss Wang Yi."
Shen Qiuyun: "!!!"
"Hahahaha."
Shen Wannian also laughed.
"Dad, you're still laughing!"
Shen Qiuyun choked with anger:
"Am I really a bonus gift for topping up a phone bill?"
"Hahahaha, I'm not laughing, your mom just stated a fact."
Shen Wannian shook his head:
"However, Qiuyun, don't give up. Try harder, maybe it can really work out."
"Right! Your mom and I both support this. If it works out, you marry into the Wang family, and everyone will be happy. If it doesn't work out, we don't lose anything. Right?"
Du Lanfang held Shen Qiuyun's hand:
"Daughter, Mom, as someone who's been there, tells you, a business genius like Wang Yi is worth pursuing! Be more proactive, have more contact, and feelings will grow over time!"
Shen Qiuyun was stunned: "..."
Were these still the parents who always opposed her relationships?
"Your mom is right. The reason we opposed your early relationships before was because those 'crooked melons and cracked dates' weren't worthy of you. But now, it's that you're not worthy of Wang Yi—no, that's not right, there's hope you can be worthy."
"After all, our Qiuyun has looks and a figure. Our family assets are also abundant, and you're an only daughter with a substantial dowry. The only thing you might lack might be an official position!"
Shen Qiuyun: "..."
Du Lanfang nodded:
"I heard Wang Yi's family likes official positions. So Qiuyun, why don't you try to get one? If you prepare now, with your ability, you can pass the exam upon graduation. By then, you'll have an extra point of certainty!"
"Good idea, I'll buy you civil service exam materials right away."
Shen Wannian pulled out his phone:
"You and Wang Yi are the same age, just that he started school a year earlier. Just right, he has graduated, and you also have an official position. If you could get married... how wonderful!"
Shen Qiuyun: "..."
"That's enough from you two, is he really that good?"
Shen Qiuyun was utterly speechless:
"Do you wish I'd eagerly try to please him?"
Shen Wannian nodded:
"Yes, indeed, he is that good."
Du Lanfang also said with a smile:
"Wang Yi is so outstanding, what's wrong with eagerly pursuing him? As long as it works out, it's your good fortune!"
"I'm tired, just let me be destroyed!"
Shen Qiuyun sighed and went straight back to her room.
Her dad, a businessman, and her mom, a shrewd person, had truly set their sights on Wang Yi!
"But, Dad, Mom, do you think Wang Yi would go for me just because I eagerly pursued him?"
Shen Qiuyun sighed in her heart:
"On the high-speed train, he'd rather read a novel than look at me. Alas!"
A sigh, full of helplessness.
Shen Qiuyun couldn't quite explain what she felt for Wang Yi—was it a desire for conquest spurred by indignation?
Or had she been brainwashed by her parents?
The next day, the Shen family wanted Wang Yi to stay for a few more days, but Wang Yi had other matters to attend to back home and politely declined.
Shen Wannian quickly arranged another farewell banquet, and Wang Yi found it hard to refuse their hospitality.
By the time he returned to the company, it was already the afternoon of the 25th.
Wang Yi immediately had Song Sining contact Shen's OEM factory to begin mass producing pure desire style dresses, underwear, panties, and stockings.
All are already launched and best-selling styles.
As for new styles, they are still produced at Qiuyun Garment Factory.
Once Shen's one-piece dropshipping is established, online orders from several southern provinces will be shipped directly from Shen's OEM factory.
Northern orders will still be shipped from Jizhou factory.
Also, next month, as southern physical stores open, they will also be supplied directly from Shen's OEM factory!
With one major base in the south and one in the north, logistics efficiency can be greatly improved, and logistics costs reduced.
Of course, Wang Yi will pay for the cost of Shen's one-piece dropshipping, and all will be integrated into Meiyou's inventory management system!
This way, Shen's production capacity, inventory, and dropshipping status will all be crystal clear.
Of course, Shen's permissions can only see dropshipping data, and not other Meiyou data.
In the following two days, Wang Yi led the IT department to fully develop Meiyou 4.0.
Wang Yi clearly explained the framework and how to do it to the employees.
Once they fully understood and knew how to do it, they could complete all subsequent tasks.
On the afternoon of the 27th, employees had smoothly gotten started with the development work for Meiyou 4.0.
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He could let go of the subsequent work, only needing to follow up remotely, supervise, and raise questions as needed.
Worried that his grandparents would be bullied by Third Uncle again, Wang Yi went back to his hometown once more on the 28th.
What surprised Wang Yi was that Third Uncle seemed to have disappeared and never came to bother Grandpa again; even Grandpa was a bit puzzled.
"Could it be that Eldest Uncle dealt with Third Uncle?"
Remembering Eldest Uncle's temper, it was hard for Wang Yi not to overthink.
Then he bought some things and paid a visit to Eldest Uncle's house.
Eldest Uncle beamed with joy when he saw Wang Yi arrive, and Eldest Aunt even more enthusiastically prepared chicken and fish to entertain him.
Meanwhile, Cousin Wang Xiyuan went out to play with friends.
The two exchanged toasts and talked about everything under the sun.
Finally, when they talked about Third Uncle, Eldest Uncle, a bit tipsy, said:
"Your Third Uncle's matter has been arranged, rest assured."
Wang Yi understood that Third Uncle's matter was truly resolved by Eldest Uncle!
As for how it was resolved, Eldest Uncle didn't say, and Wang Yi didn't ask.
It's just that Third Uncle now is most likely in Africa!
"Eldest Uncle, thank you. I toast you with this drink!"
Wang Yi raised his glass, genuinely grateful.
Eldest Uncle waved his hand:
"I should be thanking you. If you hadn't discovered it in time, I wouldn't have known this guy was constantly harming your grandparents. Alas, let's not talk about it anymore!"
"Right, everything is in the wine!"
Wang Yi didn't like drinking culture, but he still toasted Eldest Uncle three times.
Wang Yi thought to himself:
"Eldest Uncle was afraid I would take action and send Third Uncle away, causing me trouble. So he told me not to worry about it, and he took action himself!"
"Eldest Uncle, your nephew has noted this kindness!"
Eldest Uncle works in sales, his income is decent, he has a house and a car, and doesn't lack anything.
He has two children, one boy, one girl.
Cousin Wang Xiwei is already married.
When she got married, the groom's family gave a betrothal gift of 31,800, and Eldest Uncle directly provided a car worth 100,000 as dowry.
After marriage, the groom was very filial to Eldest Uncle and was also very good to his cousin.
Cousin Wang Xiyuan is three years younger than Wang Yi and will start his first year of high school next semester.
Wang Yi remembered that his cousin originally studied quite well and also got into County No.
1 High School, but it was a regular class.
As a result, he was led astray by a group of kids who didn't like to study, didn't get into university, tried several industries but didn't succeed, and finally ended up driving for Didi.
This became Eldest Uncle's lifelong pain!
Just because Eldest Uncle was so righteous, Wang Yi must help with this!
"Eldest Uncle, Xiyuan's learning ability is good, but the teaching quality of County No. 1 High School's regular class is not good, and the student quality is not great. Many are students who didn't pass the entrance exam for No. 1 High School and got in by paying, as well as some students with extremely poor grades whom the city schools don't want!"
Hearing this, Wang Qingxiang's expression became serious:
"Xiao Yi, what you said makes sense. You graduated from the experimental class of No. 1 High School, so you know the situation best. But Xiyuan's scores are not enough. If we pull some strings, can he be arranged into the experimental class?"
"Getting into the experimental class is easy, but I don't recommend Xiyuan to attend No. 1 High School."
With his relationship with Old Liu, getting into No. 1 High School's experimental class is just a matter of a word.
"Then where to go?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"I'll ask my friend later to see if he can be arranged into Wenxuan Middle School!"
"What! Wenxuan Middle School!" Wang Qingxiang was startled:
"That is one of the best high schools in our city in terms of academic performance. Although it's private, many students get into Tsinghua and Peking University every year. Even if the tuition fee is 15,000 per year, you also need top grades to get in! Tuition fees are not a problem, but with Xiyuan's grades, will it work?"
"I'll make a call and ask."
Wang Yi walked to the next room, called Zhao Xuan, and explained the situation.
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment:
"Boss Wang Yi, I do have connections, but school is about to start, let me ask!"
"Okay."
Then, Zhao Xuan called a major shareholder of Wenxuan Middle School:
"Brother Xu, it's like this, a cousin of one of my major clients wants to attend Wenxuan Middle School for high school. Can you see if you can arrange it?"
These kinds of private schools all have shareholders.
Xu Mingda frowned slightly:
"Manager Zhao, if it were half a month ago, I could still arrange this. But today is the 28th, students have long been recruited, classes have been assigned, and they report tomorrow! At this critical juncture, how can I arrange it for you?"
Zhao Xuan frowned slightly:
"Sigh, the main thing is that this major client is very important. Boss Wang Yi of Meiyou."
"No matter how important, it's useless. Wenxuan, as one of the best high schools in the city, no one can pull strings, it really can't be arranged."
As Xu Mingda spoke, he suddenly changed his tone:
"Wait, who did you say? Which Boss Wang Yi?"
"Meiyou Technology, Boss Wang Yi, of course."
"Meiyou Technology, the one selling pure desire style?"
"Yes, that's right, there's only one Meiyou."
"Oh, you should have said so earlier! So it's Boss Wang Yi of Meiyou, then this is no problem. Leave it to me, please have Boss Wang Yi send me the student ID number, and I'll arrange it right away."
Zhao Xuan's mouth twitched: "..."
You said, no matter how important, it's useless?
You said, no one could pull strings?
