Chapter 593: Chapter 592: New Ideas
Since the dairy factory was now on the right track, Zhen Yu naturally wouldn’t dwell on this long-term development project for the time being.
So she turned her attention back to her original trade.
Despite Sincere Internet Cafe having only two branches in Qi City, its profitability was anything but slow!
Even though there were already numerous other internet cafes near First High School and even more so around Qi University, only Sincere Internet Cafe had the oldest qualifications with the newest, fastest, and best machines!
Therefore, Sincere Internet Cafe had the most members, to the point where non-members could hardly ever get a computer slot!
Business was booming! Thus, Zhang San and Li Si had suggested expanding the shop or opening a few more branches nearby. However, Zhen Yu had never agreed to it.
Because she knew clear as day in her heart! The glory days of the internet cafe business were just for a few more years!
She could not possibly consider it as a lifelong career...
The reason she had originally suggested to Mrs. Zhen to enter this business was purely to accumulate initial capital quickly!
Now she had the capital! Though not much, it was enough to support her in bold trials like ’investing in the dairy factory’!
And just by looking at the system’s scores, Zhen Yu knew she wasn’t cut out for business!
The money she had made so far was nothing more than taking advantage of her pre-reincarnation memories to speculate.
So as for how much development and achievement the dairy factory could have, Zhen Yu really had no clue at the moment.
Fortunately, she understood a principle many smart people know—that is, don’t put all your eggs in one basket!
Therefore, Zhen Yu had never planned to confine herself to just one field!
--
With nothing else pressing, it was a good opportunity to expand her thinking!
Zhen Yu decided to calm her mind and consider, when the internet cafe industry declines or even disappears in a few years, how she should smoothly transition using her own advantages and into which industry she should seek development?!
"In fact, there’s no need to wait for a few years! I can start preparing now..."
Once this thought emerged, Zhen Yu couldn’t control her brain anymore! Her mind became incredibly active.
"Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, work, entertainment! Clothing, food, housing, transportation..."
After thinking for a long time, Zhen Yu finally set her sights on ’clothing’!
Because ’transportation’ involves cars! The capital required for this is too high, easily costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which she couldn’t afford!
’Housing’ involves properties, which is best to simply buy and hold for appreciation! Property speculation is definitely not a decent job!
And ’food’! Just the thought of those busy days starting up a delivery service was enough to make her give up on it!
It was too exhausting! Really not worth it! And that was just the delivery industry - wouldn’t cooking be even more demanding?!
But clothing was different!! Because it doesn’t require after-sales service, once sold there’s basically no responsibility!
Even if Zhen Yu wanted to transition across dimensions to deal in clothes, she wouldn’t need to worry about brand issues! After all, there are so many different clothing brands in the world that not even a thousand-armed deity could count them all! What’s a few unknown brands more?!
The more Zhen Yu thought about it, the more she felt it was a good business!
Just that... it’s still a long way off from the emergence of a certain treasure platform!
So if Zhen Yu wanted to start selling clothes now, then she wouldn’t only need to prepare a shop, but also recruit sales staff!
--
For a time, Zhen Yu indeed faced a dilemma!
The best course would be to wait for the emergence of a certain treasure platform then close the internet cafe to open an online store, with perfect timing.
But during these years, should the funds accumulated by the internet cafe just sit idle or all be used for buying property?!
How come just thinking about it like this gives me the feeling of a shameful waste...
Just as Zhen Yu was tangled up and couldn’t make a decision, Su Xuan suddenly initiated a dimensional connection with her!
Su Xuan: "Sister Zhen, why didn’t you trade me Bai Xue’s piano practice video yesterday? Were you held up by something?"
"Um! Indeed! The video might have to wait until next week to be sent to you."
Su Xuan: "Is that so... Well, okay! Am I interrupting your class right now?"
"No! I’m not in class right now!"
Su Xuan: "Oh, that’s good! Sister Zhen, could I ask you for another favor?"
"Just say it! Anything within my power will be no problem!"
Su Xuan: "The personal clothes you sent me last time..."
"Oh! I understand!" Zhen Yu readily caught on and promptly responded, "Do you have any specific requirements?"
Su Xuan: "The same size as last time, as well as a few slightly larger and slightly smaller ones. Go for lighter patterns, five sets each..."
----
After disconnecting with Su Xuan, Zhen Yu zoned out for a bit before initiating a dimensional connection with He Baihe.
As soon as the connection was established, Zhen Yu relayed Su Xuan’s request to her.
He Baihe instantly accepted and began to discuss with Zhen Yu about the new order she had just received that weekend, asking Zhen Yu to help her place orders when she had time!
After finishing all the serious business, Zhen Yu cautiously broached another subject.
"Sister He! I’m thinking about dealing with clothes across dimensions!"
He Baihe: "That’s a possibility! So, you’ve come up with a new idea, huh?"
"It’s indeed a new idea, but it’s a bit difficult to implement right now."
He Baihe: "What do you mean?"
"The online shopping platforms here haven’t popped up yet! And I find managing a physical store too troublesome!"
He Baihe: "Then just go wholesale! If you don’t do retail, isn’t that settled!"
At first, Zhen Yu thought that idea was brilliant! But then she began to spot a flaw!
"The profit margin for wholesaling is too low; I might not make any money!"
He Baihe: "...There are so many types of clothing, maybe you should start by finding items that have a price differential!"
"That still requires Sister He to take some time to help me compile a list of general prices over there!"
He Baihe: "That’s not a problem! But why don’t you consider making use of Su Xuan? Just selling modern fabrics to the ancient market at random, you’d be making real gold and silver!"
"No way! Su Xuan made it clear to me early on that she doesn’t do business,"
He Baihe: "Tsk, so stubborn! If she doesn’t sell goods, you can still have her buy things for you! Just like me! Whether it’s traditional clothes or embroidery, both are valuable goods. Even bringing back a handkerchief could earn you a fortune!"
"So you mean—go for the high-end?"
He Baihe: "Of course! What kind of clothing makes the most money? Luxury brands, custom orders!"
"Give me a moment to think it over! I’m going to disconnect now, okay!"
