Chapter 342: Preparing for the Opening
Today is January 5th, and there is still a full month before the Spring Festival.
COSCO has published three notices.
The first is the Notice of Exchange in Hong Kong.
At the invitation of the President of HKU, the University will organise a team to visit Hong Kong for 23 days on 26 February this year.
The team for the exchange in Hong Kong was three people from each grade of the undergraduate department, a total of 12 people, led by eight professors and four staff members of the Academic Affairs Office, and the team leader was Hu Lao Hu Bingwen.
The freshman was selected for Xu Yiyang, Shen Lele, and Ning Ruolin.
As for the names of sophomores, juniors and seniors, Xu Yiyang doesn't know them.
Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele were not surprised by this matter, because as early as a few months ago, when the two went to Hu Lao's house for dinner, Hu Lao had already mentioned it to the two of them.
However, the whole class was surprised and envious that there were not as many exchange opportunities between China and Overseas as Fudan and Tongji, so it was also a very rare opportunity to go to Hong Kong for exchange.
Xu Yiyang didn't have much feeling about Hong Kong, but what he was really interested in was that he had the opportunity to open an account to speculate in U.S. stocks when he arrived in Hong Kong.
After all, the Internet bubble will collapse in March, and going long before the crash and short after the crash are all great opportunities to make money.
It is too difficult to operate US stocks in the mainland, but if you go to Hong Kong, the situation will be very different immediately.
However, there is a serious problem, that is, I don't have dollars in my hands.
If shorting U.S. stocks is a good opportunity to hunt countless wild boars, then the U.S. stock account is a necessary firearm to participate in this hunt.
And money is the bullet that hunts prey on a large scale.
RMB is equivalent to ammunition of different standards, you have countless wild boars in front of you, you can kill a large piece with a gun, and then you have tens of thousands of rounds of 7.62 bullets, but in the hunting ground, you must use a 5.56 gun.
No matter how great the ability is, you can't put a 7.62 bullet into a 5.56 gun and then kill the prey.
The only way to do this is to get a lot of 5.56 bullets.
The problem of guns is easy to deal with, and you can solve it with a trip to Hong Kong.
So, the only problem is to get a lot of 5.56 bullets.
Today's exchange rate is 8.279, but there are foreign exchange controls, and a person can only exchange one or two thousand dollars a year, which is a drop in the bucket.
If you want to get enough dollars, you can only think of other ways, and if you really can't get dollars, you can only miss this feast of looting American capital.
In addition to announcing the candidates and itinerary for the exchange in Hong Kong, COSCO also announced the arrangements for the final exams and the time of this year's winter vacation.
The final exam starts this week, and the time span is two weeks, and after the exam, the winter vacation basically begins.
The university holiday is relatively long, and China Overseas has decided to start from January 15 on the ninth day of the lunar month to February 20 on the 16th day of the first month, and the 17th day of the first month will officially start classes, with a total of 37 days of vacation.
37 days may seem like a long time, but it is said that there are many universities in China and Overseas that have more than 40 days of winter vacation, but the students of China and Overseas are already very satisfied.
Because of SuperX and Jiayang Education, Xu Yiyang decided to leave Zhonghai later, at least until his twenties.
The other roommates in the dormitory are also ready to go back later because they have to take care of the Internet café and the forum.
After all, there is an industry to operate, and you can't delay things just because you go home and enjoy the holidays.
So the five people in the same bed discussed the time by themselves and decided to take the holiday in two batches.
For example, Zhao Xin, Gu Peng, and Shen Lele stayed until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and then came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year and rested for seven days;
Chen Meng, Zhang Junnan, and Li Yiming stayed until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and then came back on the fifth day of the lunar month, also resting for seven days.
From the 29th day of the middle month to the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one will be left in Zhonghai, and the network management has already determined the people on duty during the Spring Festival, and they will be paid three salaries for overtime during the seven-day holiday of the Spring Festival, so most people are rushing to stay and work overtime.
It's just that there is a more troublesome thing, which is that the dormitory will only stay for one more week, and the dormitory will be locked on January 24, and it will not open until the tenth day of the first month.
This means that there will be no place for everyone to live.
Xu Yiyang didn't say that he had a house nearby, because he felt that he still had to be reserved, otherwise it might not be a good thing to widen the gap with everyone at once.
So Xu Yiyang proposed to everyone that the Internet café would pay for it, first find a hotel with good conditions near the school, and then charter a few rooms for everyone to stay during the winter vacation.
Everyone told their parents about the plan here, and the parents were very understanding, after all, the children are now making a lot of money in Internet cafes, and the importance of the career has long exceeded that of going home during the holidays in the eyes of parents.
Shen Lele's mother heard that Shen Lele was going back to Zhonghai on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so she simply discussed it with her husband, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family of three came to Zhonghai together.
It just so happened that the three old people in the family, Shen Lele's grandparents and grandfather, knew that Shen Lele had a house in Zhonghai, and they all wanted to come to Zhonghai to have a look.
The two decided that after the Chinese New Year, they would take the three old people to live in Zhonghai for a few days, walk around, and take them back when they were about to go to work.
After all, Shen Lele now has a house in Zhonghai, the house is big enough, and the three bedrooms are easy to distribute, one room for grandparents and grandmothers, one room for grandpa and father, and one room for Shen Lele and mother, just right.
Shen Lele is also very looking forward to this arrangement, after buying this house, in fact, she has not been particularly excited, but has felt a lot of pressure in Xu Yiyang for a long time.
However, the thought that my grandparents and grandfather could come over, and that I could provide them with a very good place to live, suddenly became much stronger.
After Xu Yiyang heard about this, he made a small plan and prepared to give his car to Shen Lele's family.
Anyway, she went home for the New Year, and she definitely couldn't come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the car was idle in the basement.
Moreover, now the car is not checked for overloading, and the space of the Audi A6 is also large enough, and it is not a big problem to squeeze six people.
Because he was afraid that Shen Lele would be polite to him, and because he was afraid that she would have any psychological burden, Xu Yiyang never mentioned this matter, and was going to give the car keys directly to Shen Lele's father after he went back.
......
On January 6th, the exam officially began.
Xu Yiyang is okay, although he didn't study the professional courses very seriously, he did have a good foundation, and the other five sleeping together were a bit bad.
Recently, I have been making money, doing business, and engaging in competitions, but I haven't been able to keep up with my homework, so everyone has been cramming, even if I go to the toilet and squat, I have to bring textbooks.
In the afternoon, 22,000 pairs of SuperX jeans arrived in Zhonghai from Ningcheng.
The jeans that arrived this time are available in multiple colors, 101 and 102 series with different high and low waists, and a small number of tapered 103 series.
As soon as the jeans arrived, Lin Tianyi took six clerks to start loading the goods, and at the same time arranged the visual materials in the store.
Now, the decoration of the entire store has been completely completed, and when the SuperX logo is lit up, it is the most conspicuous door on Jinling Road.
Moreover, a large number of photo posters taken by Li Xuan with foreign models have been made into giant spray paintings and displayed in the store.
Models in Eastern Europe are generally slender and surprisingly tall, so they look better in SuperX.
In the window, mannequins in SuperX jeans are also in place, and these mannequins are wearing Pose like runway models to show off their slender legs.
Xu Yiyang came to the store at night and looked at the brightly lit and fashionable store outside, and felt emotional.
Not to mention anything else, all the visual elements of the SuperX store are the aesthetic standards of twenty years later.
So, it's on this street, it's just an outlier.
It's an anomaly from twenty years later.
The glass door of the shop was closed and visible to be locked from the inside, and many girls stood outside the door with golden eyes, and even people kept knocking on the door, begging the busy clerk inside to sell her a pair of pants.
Lin Tianyi had no choice but to patiently say to her: "Beauty, the notice has been posted, we will officially open at 10 o'clock in the morning on January 8th, that is, this Saturday, you can come early then." ”
The girl asked pitifully, "Can't you sell me one first?" I've been here several times......
"Not really. Lin Tianyi said apologetically: "Our company has strict regulations, and we can't sell goods before the opening time." ”
"Okay......" The girl nodded with regret on her face, looking at the jeans through the window, her eyes full of longing.
How do you describe the appeal of SuperX jeans to girls?
It's like when boys took the low-end Tetris handheld for more than a dozen yuan as a baby, and suddenly saw the color screen, high-end, expensive and more than 100 times more playable imported GBA game console, that kind of impact and desire, just like the current girls' desire for SuperX.
In another analogy that is closer to a girl, it is like a girl who suddenly saw the idol drama "Meteor Garden" that was born out of nowhere.
In that era, almost every girl who watched this TV series was almost obsessed with this show and the starring role of this show.
Xu Yiyang waited outside the door for a long time, and only after everyone at the door was persuaded to leave did he go over and knock on the door.
When Lin Tianyi saw him coming, he hurriedly opened the door from the inside, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, welcome to come and inspect the work." ”
Xu Yiyang looked at the store that was already full of goods, and said with a smile: "You guys are very efficient, you can get it all done so quickly." ”
Lin Tianyi nodded and said: "There are about 600 jeans on display in the store, of which 50 are hung on each model and on the display position, and the remaining 550 are stacked and displayed together according to your requirements, and there are 900 in stock in the small warehouse in the store, and the remaining 20,000 are all in the warehouse." ”
Xu Yiyang said: "After the opening of the 8th, I expect a large number of customers to come, so you had better hire a few security guards in advance to limit the flow at the door." ”
"Current restriction?" Lin Tianyi was very surprised when she heard for the first time that clothing stores still had to limit flow.
Xu Yiyang explained: "Our store can't be like a vegetable market, it's crowded with people chattering, noisy and noisy, so you can't let too many people in at a time, if there are more than 30 people in the store, the outside will temporarily stop people from letting people in, and when there are fewer people inside, then put a batch in, so as to ensure that the store has been orderly." ”
Lin Tianyi suddenly realized, nodded lightly and said, "I understand Mr. Xu, I will arrange it tomorrow." ”
Xu Yiyang said: "By the way, after the opening, everyone is limited to one pair of jeans at a time, in addition to the 50 on the model and the display position, another 1,500 are prepared, while supplies last." ”
Lin Tianyi smiled: "This is what you call hunger marketing, right?"
"Yes. Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "In the early stage, we must do hunger marketing, 1,500 pieces a day, even if they are sold out in the morning, they will never replenish the stock in the afternoon, the store is still open, some people come in and ask and say that it is out of stock; some people want to buy display samples, absolutely do not sell them; some people do not accept if they want to pay for the first reservation, and only accept the purchase in the store during business hours." ”
"In this case, I guess in a few days, female college students will run over early in the morning to queue up in order to grab a pair of jeans, and the scalper market will soon be hot, we sell 198 series of pants, and scalpers may be fried to more than 200 or even higher. ”
Lin Tianyi said with a smile: "If scalpers come to speculate, the effect of hunger marketing you said will be stronger, right?"
Xu Yiyang said: "That's right, if scalpers get involved, they will make SuperX more popular, the more sought-after SuperX is, the harder it is to buy, and the faster the fame will spread, which is actually a good thing for us." ”
