Huang Lu just mentioned it casually at that time, but what he didn't expect was that Luo Qiang really took this matter to heart.

Not only that, Luo Qiang also found time to ask Huang Lu to come out and have a meal together.

"Huang Lu, Brother Lu. Luo Qiang pulled Zhang Yanan next to him and smiled brightly: "Zhang Yanan, my wife." ”

Huang Lu raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect that not long after this had passed, a very obvious change had occurred in the other party.

When they first met, Zhang Yanan followed behind Luo Qiang, and his sense of presence was so low. The half-length hair was simply tied in a ponytail, presumably due to the fatigue of the journey, and the hair rubbed a little messily on the seat and scattered in a mess. At first glance, it seems that he is still a little old, and there is no other look in his eyes except for exhaustion and dazedness.

"Brother Lu!" Zhang Yanan shouted loudly, and the corners of her mouth were crooked when she laughed, and Huang Lu realized that there were dimples on each side of her mouth.

The hair on the back was tied up high, without any other superfluous modifications, and when he greeted and looked at people, his eyes were clear. Maybe there is still a blankness, but the spirit of the whole person is completely different from the beginning.

Huang Lu simply said hello to the two, and at the beginning, Zhang Yanan was still a little restrained and uncomfortable. But as soon as the topic was discussed, the embarrassment and restraint suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Luo Qiang and Zhang Yanan looked for Huang Lu this time, mainly to ask about their future work.

"We don't know what breakfast should be," Luo Qiang scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Look at my fellow countrymen and they make it, it doesn't seem to be difficult, it's all ordinary flavors." But when it's our turn to do it, we don't know what to do. ”

"Just think about what you're going to do, and then go and see what's selling best at the entrance to the village. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he paused, and then looked at the two of them again and asked, "Is it really confirmed?"

"Well, but I just haven't figured out what to do right now. I think about it, I have to buy things," Zhang Yanan took over the topic and continued: "Although we don't have enough money now, we want to set the goal first, and after it is determined, it is easier to save money in this area." ”

"Why, do you want to go in the end...... Take my advice?"

"What you say makes sense!" Luo Qiang opened his mouth without hesitation and said, "I look at the past, we just don't know what we can do now, and what to see here." But it's impossible to do odd jobs all the time, but if you can get something to sell like they do, you can go a little more. ”

Zhang Yanan: "Yes, I see that those who sell breakfast have a tricycle, and they can go anywhere." ”

They want to reach more people and know more about the city so they can decide where they should go. It may seem like a stupid and laborious method, but for them, it has been the most effective so far.

I don't know what this world has, and it seems that all I can do is what I can do and see. I don't know whether it's suitable or not, whether I like it or not, because there are only a few choices I see, and I have to choose in order to continue eating tomorrow.

"It sounds like a lot of work, and it's a bit time-consuming. Zhang Yanan smiled, his voice soft but full of firmness: "But we are still young now. ”

Young, so I have the opportunity to try everything and want to try it. It is far better to see more and wider the world than to be casual.

"Then they actually made a breakfast stall, and they got up early every day and rode around, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. When Huang Lu mentioned this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and his voice couldn't help but rise: "At first, it was a stall for two people, and then I got one by one after saving some money." ”

"Both of them were really good, and they saved more money than many of my colleagues at the time. "It's also more ruthless.

At the beginning, Huang Lu took the initiative to lend the money for the stall equipment to the two of them. After a month, Luo Qiang and the others moved out of their friends and rented a larger and wider house to put their belongings. After half a year, he repaid all the money he borrowed from Huang Lu.

"It's not easy," Lin Xiao sighed sincerely, "How long did you do it before you decided to work now?"

Huang Lu's expression paused for a moment, and he coughed lightly before continuing: "About two years." ”

Luo Qiang and Zhang Yanan pushed the breakfast stall, went out early and returned late, and traveled all over the city. Listen carefully to the conversations of everyone you meet, and be enthusiastic to learn a lot about things that have nothing to do with you. What are the people here doing, what kind of work is still here, what is suitable for them, and what is not possible to do by themselves.

The more you know and the more you understand the inclusiveness of the city, the more you don't want to leave.

It turns out that in the outside world, no matter what kind of education, age, or personality, you can find a corner that suits you. I originally thought that the big city that everyone else was talking about had nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect that in addition to the bright lights, there would be other inconspicuous little things, and I gently incorporated myself into the city.

A sense of belonging starts with understanding.

"The two of them are really clever. Huang Lu turned his head sideways, looked at Lin Xiao and smiled, and asked, "Do you know what they did later?"

"What?" Lin Xiao intuitively felt that the other party seemed to have skipped a certain story, but he still asked extremely cooperatively.

"As soon as they made the money, they quickly switched to smartphones. I have added a lot of people's WeChat, saying that no matter how far away you are, you can deliver food. ”

Lin Xiao suddenly understood, and the expression on his face was also a little subtle: "They ...... So powerful. ”

There are no doubts, just simple emotion.

Networking is very important at all times. Even now, with the emergence of various social software on the Internet, specific interpersonal relationships are, to some extent, more reliable than empty keyword searches.

At that time, Luo Qiang and Zhang Yanan, who were fledgling and hadn't figured out what they should do, actually thought of this stubble, and it seemed that they had really accumulated a lot of contacts.

Huang Lu looked away and looked at the white wall opposite, his tone was a little erratic: "At first, I thought the two of them were really stupid like this. But I didn't expect that in the end, it was they who pulled me out. A large part of the reason why I'm able to do this shop now is because of their help. ”

"Before...... What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiao hesitated slightly, and finally asked.

"When the store collapsed, I almost couldn't get up. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he didn't continue.

Lin Xiao glanced up at the infusion bottle hanging above, and listened to the sound of Huang Lu's gradually calming breathing in his ears, and did not continue to ask.

She could probably guess what was going on, and when she was in VISION before, she had probably heard He Qixin say a few words.

Before Lin Xiao arrived at VISION, there was a very famous salesman in the company, which was Huang Lu.

Huang Lu almost started a business with He Qixin, but after a long time, the company began to gradually get better, both of them were young and high-spirited, and everyone believed that they were the absolutely correct one, and the discord with the completely different concepts of the company's development was gradually exposed. When the friendship between the two was not on the verge of breaking, Huang Lu chose to start his own business.

In the early stage of Taobao, when smartphones were popularized, the original brand "NEW/S/TEP" enjoyed a certain popularity on Taobao.

At that time, online stores were still labeled as cheap copycat imitations and fakes. "NEW/S/TEP", which has its own unique and original style and does not have any brand foundation before, is a real e-commerce product. After the sales volume and conversion rate went up, it was immediately favored by the platform, and it was ready to take advantage of the new activities to launch this batch of originals.

E-commerce is not just about low-cost plagiarism and cheap fakes. At the same time, it also provides a huge barrier-free platform. Don't pay attention to your previous strength background and experience, as long as you do it seriously, you will always shine and be seen by more people.

Small cost, big opportunity.

The popularity of smartphones has completely made Taobao more convenient and fast, and you can choose anytime and anywhere. Every day, the traffic of the store and the usage rate of the APP are rising at an extremely exaggerated rate.

It seems that the time and place are favorable, and Huang Lu has all of them.

Recruit troops, stock up on a large number of goods, and spend huge sums of money on promotion and momentum in operation. Everyone can see that as soon as the event officially starts, NEW/S/TEP will ride the wind and reach a completely different point from before.

It's a whole new height, and it's a new beginning.

"I'll sleep for a while," Huang Lu leaned back in his chair, forced his sleepiness and said vaguely: "Call me up when the infusion is almost ready." ”

"Looks like you're in a much better mood now. Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Call you up in advance, slow down and drive after a while?"

"I've already lost such a big bottle of water, and if I'm still half-dead, I guess I'll have to be pushed into a terminal illness. Huang Lu also laughed, his voice low and gentle: "But it may not be able to be opened." Anyway, when the time comes, let's take a look, get up and slow down, and if it doesn't work, take a taxi. ”

Lin Xiao snorted and said, "I know, go to sleep." ”

Lin Xiao looked down at the mobile phone placed next to him, and was stuck on a search page. After all, things in the e-commerce circle can only be regarded as a niche, and the things that happened this year ago, and now there are only a few links that pop up in searches. But the content is quite clear.

"NEWSTEP GOES OUT OF BUSINESS"

"ISN'T NEWSTEP GOING TO DO IT?"

"After the NEWSTEP plagiarism scandal, the boss destroyed all the goods in a hurry. ”

Lin Xiao's heart gradually sank, hesitated, and finally didn't click in, and directly chose to close the page.

Huang Lu's matter, Lin Xiao still wants to hear Huang Lu himself.
