Half an hour later, a brand new white Mercedes-Benz C200 pulled up beside Wang Yi.
"Junior, I'm here!"
Lin Shu enthusiastically waved at Wang Yi, walking gracefully with her long, fair, and straight legs.
This time, she wasn't wearing sun-protective clothing, having changed into a white body-hugging long dress.
It perfectly outlined her exquisite figure, with an amazing waist-to-hip ratio, a definite golden proportion.
Her delicate face and ethereal aura attracted everyone's attention the moment she stepped out of the car.
"Senior, here!"
Wang Yi handed her a bottle of iced black tea.
Only then did he realize that Lin Shu, at 170cm tall, looked tall and slender, but actually concealed a "C-cup lethal weapon"!
Her sun-protective clothing had been too restrictive before, so he hadn't noticed her figure was so good.
He couldn't help but steal another glance.
"Thanks."
Lin Shu took the iced black tea, smiled playfully, and seemed to chide,
"Junior, your eyes are a bit dishonest!"
"Cough, cough, I was thinking about something and got distracted,"
Wang Yi spoke serious nonsense.
Lin Shu's willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Staring at me here, what are you thinking about?"
"Could it be that Junior isn't a good person?"
As she spoke, she took a step back, instantly becoming vigilant.
"Don't talk nonsense, nothing of the sort."
Wang Yi chuckled, then said openly,
"At most, it's just an extra glance, a sign of respect!"
Compared to secretly peeking, this open and frank demeanor was actually more natural.
Indeed, Lin Shu smiled sweetly:
"Junior, you're quite the talker! But the 'fun' thing you mentioned, is it selling shoes?"
"You called me to drive over thirty kilometers to help you sell shoes? Are you a devil?"
"What's wrong with selling shoes? Senior, you probably haven't experienced it, have you? It's really fun!" Wang Yi said with a smile.
Now that she's been tricked into coming, could he let her run off?
Lin Shu felt she had been fooled:
"Alright, tell me, what's so fun about it? In this sweltering heat!"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"You sell the shoes, satisfy the customer's needs, realize the value of the shoes, and you also gain a sense of accomplishment from a successful transaction! Killing three birds with one stone, isn't that fun?"
"..." Lin Shu was a bit speechless:
"Did you forget to mention that it also helps you make money?"
"Clever! I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"
"Deal! Junior, no, respected boss!"
Lin Shu said cheerfully,
"You can rest, I'll handle the selling!"
As for the price, no need to ask, the loudspeaker next to them kept repeating:
"Export quality, thirty-five yuan a pair. You won't lose out, you won't be fooled..."
"But your business seems just okay, there aren't many people," Lin Shu pouted.
"Heh heh, you'll be exhausted in a bit!"
Wang Yi chuckled.
He had just sent off a large group of customers, so it happened to be a quiet period.
Sure enough, not long after, another crowd gathered.
"Oh my god, business is so good!"
Lin Shu was astonished and quickly started attending to customers.
Getting shoes, recommending them, collecting money... she was happily busy.
Seeing more and more people, Wang Yi also joined in.
But it was clear that significantly more people wanted to buy shoes from Lin Shu!
Especially some lechers, who originally only intended to look, ended up buying a pair.
Those who originally planned to buy one pair ended up buying two, or even three!
"Is this the beauty effect? Impulse buying?"
Wang Yi secretly thought:
"Next time, if I hire a pretty young woman, the effect might be even better!"
"Hmm, Huang Jie from the village is good. She's 29 and idle at home, I can bring her in."
Wang Yi remembered that in the future, Huang Jie's husband would become paralyzed, and the once idle Huang Jie would neither divorce him nor abandon him.
Instead, she would work from dawn till dusk making tofu, driving a tricycle to various villages to sell it, earning money for her husband's medical treatment!
Husbands and wives are like birds of a forest, scattering when disaster strikes.
These days, people who stick by their partners like that are truly rare!
For this reason alone, she was worthy of Wang Yi's trust!
By then, both large markets would be handed over to Song Yang and Huang Jie, while Wang Yi would be responsible for delivery and finding new sources of goods.
Once this batch of odd-sized shoes sold out, he could also consider other goods.
Those outdated and unsellable products from the city, bought at a low price and promoted in the countryside, would have no trouble selling as long as the price was right!
The strategy of "sending home appliances to the countryside" was exactly like this!
By then, with his hands free, he could also undertake bigger projects and do other things!
With the great beauty Lin Shu, sales efficiency significantly improved.
Working together, by just 4:30 PM, all five hundred pairs of shoes were sold out!
Lin Shu stretched:
"Honestly, this kind of promotional scene is quite interesting; it's a very novel experience!"
"Right? Will you come again tomorrow?"
Wang Yi asked with a smile.
"You're poisonous!"
Lin Shu's face darkened.
Others treated her like a goddess, showering her with flattery, gifts, and invitations... she didn't want to bother with any of it.
But what about Wang Yi?
He actually tricked her into driving over thirty kilometers to sell shoes on a scorching hot day, and for free!
You've really got some nerve!
However, Lin Shu wasn't angry; she was even a little curious:
"Junior, you're selling these shoes so cheaply, there can't be much profit, can there?"
Most of the shoes she bought cost three to five hundred yuan, and their material didn't seem much different from these 35 yuan shoes.
Except for brand premium!
"They're all odd-sized shoes, bought cheaply, so there's still a profit to be made," Wang Yi didn't hide anything.
With Han Caili, Wang Yi had to be reserved, but with Lin Shu, it really wasn't necessary.
"Selling odd-sized shoes in the countryside! Junior is so smart!"
Lin Shu instantly grasped the key point, then changed her tone:
"You're telling me directly, aren't you afraid I'll steal your business?"
Wang Yi shook his head:
"My rich senior wouldn't care for such a small business!"
Lin Shu was about to pick up three cars right after getting her driver's license, totaling one to two million yuan; her family assets were probably in the hundreds of millions!
Any casual operation of her family's business would be easier to make money from than this!
This kind of small business protects against the poor, not the rich!
The rich wouldn't bother with it.
"Besides, Jishui City is so big; even if Senior really wanted to do it, she could go to other counties, it wouldn't affect me."
"Haha, just for your trust, Senior will give you a big deal!" Lin Shu was in a great mood; this junior was really interesting:
"I see you're only selling athletic shoes, which is a bit limited. My third aunt's family makes leather shoes, and they also have a batch of odd-sized shoes that couldn't be sold in the city.
You can take them. I'll give you their contact information, and you can negotiate the price yourselves; there's definitely profit to be made!"
"Thank you, Senior, I must treat you to a big meal tonight!" Wang Yi was overjoyed.
He was just worrying about the lack of suppliers, and now one appeared?
The profit margin for leather shoes was much greater than for athletic shoes!
In 2011, every household in the countryside had to have leather shoes and suits.
They weren't used daily but were worn for important occasions!
"What, no big meal if there's no business deal?"
Lin Shu was a bit displeased, thinking: I sold shoes for you for nothing today!
"Of course not, you're my dear senior, after all," Wang Yi smiled.
"That's more like it."
Girls like Lin Shu, with high attractiveness and a good personality, make people feel comfortable, as if basking in a spring breeze.
Wang Yi locked the tent and other items in the car:
"Let's go, we're eating at the Intercontinental Hotel!"
The Intercontinental Hotel was considered one of the top luxury hotels in the county town.
"Why go to the Intercontinental? Let's just find a place in town!"
With that, Lin Shu pulled Wang Yi and walked straight towards the main street, looking around.
Finally, she stopped in front of a barbecue stall:
"Junior, it smells so good! So many people! It must be delicious! Shall we try it?"
"Are you sure? Is this appropriate?" Wang Yi was a little surprised.
He was prepared for a five-hundred-yuan per person meal, and you want to eat at a barbecue stall in town?
"Sure, let's go!"
Lin Shu pulled Wang Yi and walked directly to the barbecue stall, choosing a table by the side to sit down.
Soon, a waiter approached with a large plate of grilled skewers:
"Handsome, beautiful, how about some lamb skewers?"
The barbecue here was all charcoal-grilled, and they didn't take orders for specific skewers but served them in the traditional way.
The kitchen would grill them, then immediately carry a large tray around, asking who wanted what and letting them decide the quantity.
"Yes!"
Wang Yi directly took a handful, pulled out one skewer, and handed it to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu took a bite, full of joy:
"Delicious, so authentic! This is real barbecue!"
Her hearty eating seemed a little out of place with her ethereal aura.
So, the rich senior also had such a down-to-earth side.
"You rascal, you're staring at me again!"
Lin Shu chided, not actually angry:
"But you've improved this time, you didn't look at my chest!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"I was looking at the grease on your mouth!"
Wang Yi pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.
"Really? Thanks."
"Narcissist!" Wang Yi retorted.
"No, I'm not!"
Lin Shu looked at Wang Yi, smiling slyly, as if to say:
"Do you think I don't know what you were just looking at? I just can't be bothered to expose you!"
Wang Yi met Lin Shu's gaze with a smile, then his eyes drifted downwards...
You already know, don't you? Then I'll just look openly!
"You!!!"
Lin Shu, exasperated, waved her pink fists, making a playfully fierce expression.
Wang Yi didn't care at all, instead finding it a bit cute, and calmly said: "Appreciating beauty is human nature!"
Lin Shu was speechless: "..."
