Chapter 20: Net Profit of Two Million
(Thanks to the 'Xiao Li Flying Knife No. 1000' for the tip, thank you!)
Recently, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry has been in the limelight with urban entertainment newspapers.
Even major newspapers such as Ming Pao and Oriental Daily, as well as Sing Tao Daily, were forced to follow suit. However, because the City Entertainment Newspaper was the first person to eat crabs, so, even so, the sales of the City Entertainment Newspaper did not decline.
In addition, many readers are gradually attracted by 'Hui Ming', including some female readers. Gradually, some people also talked about how many wives the protagonist has, or what level of official he can be in the end......
Of course, everyone who asked this question ended up laughing, didn't you see the title of the book and it was called 'being a king'? Of course, it must be a 'king' in the end!
More male readers are concerned about the number of wives of the protagonist, and the issues that female readers are concerned about are a little strange. Some are even asking who Wu Cheng, the author of 'Hui Ming', is? It can be seen between the lines that he should be an uncle, otherwise how can he know so much about the history of the Ming Dynasty? while some people think that this uncle should know how to be romantic.
Some people even wrote to the newspaper office, asking the newspaper to publish Wu Cheng's information, and asked whether the author of 'Hui Ming' was handsome or not.
However, this qiē was rejected by the newspaper, Wu Cheng is still too young, if people know that he wrote 'Hui Ming', then there will definitely be no less voices looking back and questioning.
Wu Cheng didn't want such trouble, even though it might be more famous. But he is not a star after all, and he doesn't need exposure to increase his popularity. Now he only needs to write down steadily, don't make any demon moths, and becoming famous is a sure thing.
However, in the past few days, on the first board of the Urban Entertainment Daily, the whole board is red, and there are only a few words in the middle, and the most conspicuous words are the words 'What is fashion?'.
With the daily publication, the content on the board is more and more abundant, until one day, the words "entertainment fashion semi-monthly" appeared on the board, and everyone realized that the original urban entertainment newspaper was planning to publish a supplement!
However, looking at its high-profile appearance, coupled with the gimmick of 'fashion', it has attracted the attention of many businesses.
However, many merchants' mentions were rejected by Entertainment Metropolis News, because some products were too rustic and did not meet the requirements of fashion. Wu Cheng means that it is better to be lacking than rotten.
As long as the name of this semi-monthly magazine is launched, I am afraid that there will be no sales? As long as there are sales, then we are not afraid that there will be no advertising, so we should not lose a big one because of a small one.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
Wu Cheng also accelerated his cooperation with Zhong's father, and under Wu Cheng's lobbying and with the cooperation of the Urban Entertainment Newspaper, Zhong's father was finally persuaded by Wu Cheng.
Because he has indeed heard a lot of people around him talk about the topic of 'fashion' recently, he has gradually admitted that Wu Cheng seems to be a bit of a trick to do this.
However, he didn't have much savings, and he scraped together a lot of money, and it was only in his early 50,000s.
Wu Cheng directly took out 200,000 yuan, of which 100,000 was borrowed from Wu Shulan, adding up to 250,000. It's just that there are only these 250,000 yuan, and it is possible to acquire a small garment factory, but if you add raw materials or something, it is not enough to see, especially the 'Red Girl' clothing is still a mid-to-high-end route.
Yes, after finally discussing, I placed an order directly with the big factory, and then set the brand of "Red Girl", specializing in the production of urban mature beauty series, several styles of the girl series.
As for those evening dresses, Wu Cheng asked Father Zhong to make them by hand.
The brand of the red girl was drawn by Wu Cheng himself, in fact, it is very simple, it is based on Zhong Chuhong, of course, it is the 'red girl' who will mature in the future, not the young her now.
The whole is red, just the outline of a character, but it's actually very simple.
After discussion, Wu Cheng, with the help of Wu Shulan, directly ordered two series of several styles and a total of 100,000 pieces of women's clothing of several colors from the Wu family's own garment factory, and under Wu Shulan's guarantee, 250,000 yuan was used as a deposit, and the rest was repaid after three months.
Of course, the incident was the one who came forward, and Wu Cheng didn't want to be too showy. And the garment factory is still owned by the Wu family, if Wu Cheng comes forward, it will not look good.
Of course, if Wu Cheng knew that the Wu family had its own garment factory, he would not be willing to cooperate with them, because if he really cooperated with them, he would definitely earn less.
Ten days later, the semi-monthly magazine of urban entertainment and fashion began to be published and put on sale, and 10,000 copies were sold out in less than a morning on the first day, so the newspaper office stepped up its efforts to print 20,000 copies.
The Urban Entertainment Newspaper once again became an instant hit.
The cover of the entertainment fashion semi-monthly magazine is Zhao Yazhi's dress in a floor-length dress, her hair is slightly pulled, her fragrant shoulders are slightly exposed, her right hand is lightly holding a goblet containing a small half glass of red wine, and her left hand is holding her right elbow behind her left hand.
In the whole of Xiangjiang, seven out of ten men who bought this semi-monthly magazine came for this cover. No one has seen it before, and there can still be a woman who can be so beautiful as this.
opened the semi-monthly magazine, which published a lot of photos of Zhao Yazhi and Zhong Chuhong, as well as the introduction of those matching clothes and clothing brands.
In these introductions, each piece of clothing has a different style and meaning, whether it is graceful, or capable, or cute and lively......
Especially when some bosses saw the picture of Zhao Yazhi wearing an office suit, their eyes couldn't help but light up secretly, and they wondered if they should also buy a set for their secretary.
In fact, after the appearance of this semi-monthly magazine, the secretaries of the entire Xiangjiang and more than half of the companies have changed into such professional suits.
And the Urban Entertainment Newspaper also spared no effort to tout this semi-monthly, plus some tabloids published a photo of Zhao Yazhi in a dress and holding a wine glass and smiling back in their own newspaper in order to increase sales, making the sales of that semi-monthly magazine continue to rise.
In the end, if Wu Cheng hadn't stopped Wu Shulan from frantically printing, it is estimated that Wu Shulan would not be satisfied with the current sales of 50,000 copies. For a semi-monthly magazine, this sales volume has already broken the industry record. It's even about to catch up with the sales of the newspaper itself, which is a bit incredible to think about.
And the whole thing, there are a lot of people who benefit, among which the biggest benefit is naturally the City Entertainment News, which once again established a position in the industry, not to mention, but also completely stabilized the status of the City Entertainment News. After that, Zhao Yazhi and Zhong Chuhong, because they can be said to have become famous overnight, but this fame cannot be measured by money!
After that, it was Wu Cheng and Father Zhong, because of this semi-monthly magazine, the brand of the red girl became famous, and most of the 100,000 pieces of clothes were sold in only half a month.
Of course, a large part of this sales volume was subscribed by other clothing stores, as well as some Taiwanese businessmen and overseas Chinese businessmen from Southeast Asian countries.
The average ex-factory price of 100 yuan, the average wholesale price of 150 yuan, and the average retail price of more than 200 yuan, Wu Cheng and Zhong's father directly earned more than 3 million net profits.
This speed of making money directly scared Zhong Chuhong and his family enough!
However, Wu Cheng is very calm, if it weren't for the lack of funds, the money he made this time would definitely not be only so little, and the Ye family's garment factory would also benefit.
He also knows that this kind of thing, it will be difficult to form such a height in the future, even if he comes up with some clothing styles, but after everyone has a certain ability to accept it, even with the cooperation of entertainment and fashion semi-monthly, it is impossible to be so crazy.
In addition, other clothing stores have also begun to imitate this style of clothing, and the 'Red Girl' still has a long way to go if they want to compete with them.
"Cheng Zai, you are amazing!"
Zhong Chuhong knows better than anyone how much money she makes from the 'Red Girl' clothing, because she is also one of the accountants involved in the statistics, and the other accountants are accountants from accounting firms.
Zhong Chuhong, who participated in the whole process, knew too well how much money they made this time. Even after deducting the various taxes payable, the final income is still more than 3.5 million.
"It's a pity that we are taking the mid-to-high-end route, otherwise, we can produce more. Zhong Chuhong shook his head and sighed regretfully.
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said: "Take the low-end route, the brand of 'Red Girl' clothing is really going to be rotten on the street, and you don't want your brand to become a roadside stall!" After a pause, Wu Cheng continued: "Besides, taking the mid-to-high-end route does not necessarily mean that you will make less money." ”
"Cheng Zai, what are you going to do next?"
It was Father Zhong who asked this question. The current Father Zhong no longer treats Wu Cheng as a child. If it weren't for Wu Cheng's lobbying, he wouldn't have made a profit.
The investment is only a small 250,000 yuan, but the profit he earns is ten times the profit, which is much better than his tiring and tiring work to make clothes.
You must know that their family of six lives on this women's clothing store, and they have four children who need their support, and the pressure is not ordinary, especially in Xiangjiang, a high-consumption place. Yes, Zhong Chuhong is going to come out to help the family when he is so old.
And at this time, Zhong Mu looked at Wu Cheng's expression, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, especially when she heard that Wu Cheng was also fifteen years old this year, two months older than Zhong Chuhong, she was even more satisfied.
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "This money, according to the proportion we invested before, I will get 2.8 million, Uncle Zhong, you will get 700,000, as for the ones that have not been sold, we will divide them later." ”
"In addition, I take out 2 million from it, and the remaining 800,000 will continue to be invested in the 'Red Girl' clothing company, Uncle Zhong can take 200,000, and the remaining 500,000 will be invested in the company, and then acquire a garment factory, and put into production of other styles of clothing in the 'Red Girl' clothing in the shortest possible time, the design will be done by me, I will account for 51% of the company's shares, and Uncle Zhong will account for 49%, what does Uncle Zhong think?"
When Zhong Chuhong and his mother heard this division, they both knew that Wu Cheng had suffered a big loss, and they were even more grateful to Wu Cheng. Father Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not fair to you to divide it like this! Originally, I made a lot of money by taking your ride this time, but I couldn't help it." In fact, even if you don't cooperate with me, you can find a manufacturer to produce ......."
