After two more days of studying, Tang Mingyao returned home on the weekend and received a call from Huang Zhong. The guy said he had visited several cities and was already thinking about how to grow his business.

Roughly according to Tang Mingyao's suggestion, make a chain of brand stores.

He already has a general plan for brand positioning, avoiding the rapidly rising brands for young people in the past two years, starting from the gap in the market and being a brand for small successful people.

What is a small successful person?

Huang Zhong's explanation is that he is a little successful in life, better than ordinary people, but he is not very successful, and he is not a real successful person, so he is called a small successful person.

Like himself.

This group, the clothes they like begin to pursue quality and taste, and also pursue a little style, which is a very good direction of development.

This time, he called to ask Tang Mingyao if he had any good suggestions for his plan.

Tang Mingyao thought for a while and said to him: "The idea is very good, but you need to avoid those domestic and imported formal wear brands in the market." Small successful people are also successful people, they choose formal wear or choose a precipitated brand goods, you do formal wear competition is too great, it is better to turn to daily casual wear. ”

Huang Zhong said loudly: "Brother Zhong, let's think of going together."

Tang Mingyao asked again: "Where are you going to do it?"

Huang Zhong: "Do it in Dacheng first, first carry out the reform pilot in my two stores, and then go to the provincial capital when there is a foundation in the future."

Tang Mingyao thought to himself, starting a brand from a small city, is the starting point a bit low, but after thinking about it, Huang Zhong is also based on the actual situation, so he didn't say anything.

After chatting for a while, he hung up.

Tang Mingyao pondered that his chain store has developed much faster than Huang Zhong, and the company has recently entered the right track, and the next step should be to make its own brand.

Not only store brands, but also product brands.

Their franchise stores now display goods from more than a dozen different manufacturers.

Most manufacturers will put their own labels on their products.

As a result, although the goods in the store are generally uniform in style, they cannot be held and looked at in detail, because they will reveal the filling at a glance - different things, different production labels, messy.

Just do it, Tang Mingyao cleaned up, immediately went to the office, found his father Tang Hui in the office, and discussed with him how to implement the OEM with the manufacturer.

Tang Hui said: "We cooperate with too many manufacturers, OEM, we have to talk about one by one, talk about one, and the goods of this house will be replaced with our label." When the exchange is almost over, those who can't be negotiated will simply give up and replace them with new manufacturers. It may take a month to complete the negotiation of this matter, and as for replacing all the goods in the franchise store with labels with our brand, it will take at least three months. ”

Tang Mingyao said: "Don't worry, this is a series of things, and it would be good to be able to do it in half a year." And I had to find someone to design the brand LG and product labels first, which also took a little time. In this way, I will do the design, and you will go to the business with the manufacturer, and we will divide and cooperate. ”

Tang Hui said: "Leave it to me." In fact, it will not be difficult to talk about, after all, we are customers, and manufacturers will generally agree for the sake of money. ”

It was finalized here, Tang Mingyao returned home non-stop, found Yang Jing on the Internet, and asked her if she could do brand LG design.

Yang Jing: "Do you really think your sister is omnipotent?" Anything will be done. ”

Tang Mingyao said: "I really feel like this, otherwise I wouldn't think of you for the first time."

"Alright, leave it to me, I'll find someone for you to do. I did the decoration design of your store, and I also have a general understanding of the product, I know what style you want, and I guarantee that it will be done properly for you, and you will send me the text content needed for the design. ”

Tang Mingyao said: "I'll sort it out and give it to you in two days."

In the evening, Tang Mingyao was still reading, and Tang Hui came back at some point.

Silently, sitting in the living room without talking or turning on the light.

Tang Mingyao was about to go to bed, only to find him on the sofa, was startled, and asked, "Dad, what are you doing sitting in the living room, why don't you go to rest?"

Tang Hui's sigh came from the darkness: "It's too sudden."

Tang Mingyao asked: "What is too sudden, something happened to the company?"

Tang Hui: "No, it's your father's comrade-in-arms, your Uncle Wu...... After you left in the afternoon, he called me and said he was hospitalized. ”

Uncle Wu?

Tang Mingyao knows a little about this person.

In the past, his father had mentioned many times at home that he was one of his best comrades-in-arms when he was a soldier. However, Uncle Wu and his father are not from the same place, and after being laid off and dismissed, they have less contact with each other.

Tang Mingyao vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Uncle Wu died in his early forties, very young. Later, my father often mentioned him, and every time he sighed, saying that this person is too impermanent.

Estimate the time, isn't it these two years?

Tang Mingyao had a bad premonition in his heart: "Hospitalized? What disease? ”

"Advanced liver cancer."

Tang Mingyao: "......"

To be honest, after being reborn, he never thought about it.

Because Uncle Wu was only his father's comrade-in-arms, he had only met him when he was very young, and this person was not in his list of relatives and friends; And after Uncle Wu was laid off, he hadn't met his father, Tang Mingyao hadn't seen him in his life, if it wasn't for his father mentioning it today, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

At this time, when he heard the news of the other party's illness, in addition to a little guilt, he was more in a heavy mood.

Presumably, my father's heart is heavier than his.

He was about to say something comforting, but his father suddenly spoke first: "He is still in the county hospital below, and he will be transferred to the big hospital in the provincial capital tomorrow, and when the time comes, you and I will go to see him together." When you were a child, he hugged you, and when you were in my unit, you often went to his house and rubbed his canned fruit every day to eat. ”

Tang Mingyao: ???

Why don't I remember these things? But since my father said so, I had to go and see it.

He said, "Okay, arrange to go someday, you can say hello to me in advance." Dad, don't think too much, go to bed early. ”

After saying that, he went to wash up, and when he returned to his room, he planned to go to bed.

I sat on the bed and thought about it, if I went to the hospital, I would have to ask for leave, and the time for that day might not be arranged, so it was better to read some books first, do some writing tasks, and do some things that could be done in advance.

So he sat down at his desk again and began to read the book carefully.

It wasn't until half past two in the morning that I went to bed with tiredness. However, I was lying on the bed, but I had some insomnia, and I always remembered my father sitting on the sofa in the dark, and my heart was a little entangled.

I don't know how long I was in a daze, and finally fell asleep.

When he got up the next day, Tang Mingyao felt that he hadn't woken up at all, yawning and his face was tired.

When I arrived in the classroom, I was listless, and I even forgot to go to Mr. Tao at noon.

It took two days to slow down, and I barely managed to ease this state.

On Wednesday, Tang Mingyao suddenly remembered that he should go to find Mr. Tao this week. Last week, he also left a question that Mr. Tao hadn't answered for himself.

After lunch, he walked towards the office building.

As soon as he walked into the office building, he was stopped by Bai Jing in the corridor, angry: "Why haven't you come for two days?"

Tang Mingyao was inexplicable: "I don't come here to take classes, there's no need to come every day."

"Then you should tell me in advance!"

Tang Mingyao looked at her twice: "It's strange, didn't you go on a date with Zhao Hao last weekend?" What's the matter, look at this, he didn't confess to you? ”

"I confessed, but I didn't accept it!"
