Chapter 110 Living Together
In the next few days, Xu Yuan, Wen Miao, and Wen Lei signed up for a "Golden Ring" tour group, visiting all the large and small attractions in Moscow and the surrounding areas.Then, they set off for St. Petersburg together.
After Wen Lei sent Wen Miao to the school she attended, he went to the National Normal University to help Xu Yuan go through the admission procedures.Originally, Xu Yuan was embarrassed to bother him, but because he insisted on his own initiative, she readily accepted it.
Ever since they came to Russia together, Xu Yuan always had a strange feeling. Wen Lei couldn't tell, it was different from before.
In September, Xu Yuan and the others started a one-year preparatory study.
The so-called preparatory course is the preparatory education before going to university. All universities in Russia require overseas high school graduates to take a preparatory course for about one year to adapt to the Russian learning style.After the international students complete the preparatory course, they will decide whether they can be promoted to the institutions they originally chose according to their grades.In addition, as long as you pass the entrance examination, you can also voluntarily transfer to other universities for study.
At the National Normal University where Xu Yuan works, there are two to four classes a day for preparatory studies, and teachers will check attendance in each class. This is related to whether the three-month preparatory visa can be renewed.If you cannot successfully renew your visa, you will be deported to your home country.
Originally, Xu Yuan thought that she had a good foundation in Russian and could still pass the final preparatory exam without going to class. In this year's time, she could start to start the "foreign trade" business that she had thought about before.But because of the attendance system, she has to go to class step by step every day, so she can only buy time after class to start her own "tertiary industry".
After receiving the reward, Xu Yuan immediately discussed with Wen Miao about doing business, and Wen Miao raised her hands in agreement: "That's great! When we both make a lot of money, I won't have to look at my mother's face every day to live. I want Let her and my brother see, without them, I, Wen Miao, can still support myself!"
"Well, I don't want to always rely on my family. 'The economic foundation determines the superstructure'. If you want to have the right to speak in the family, you must control the economic power." Xu Yuan is also thinking selfishly. If he makes a lot of money, he wants to like himself in the future. Even if her father doesn't like her, she can stick to her original intention.
"You're so right! I don't have the right to speak at home, and no one has ever heard what I say. Let's take the matter of Xinning's mother as an example. I don't believe that Aunt Zheng will steal things." Wen Miao He pouted and said dissatisfied.
"Stealing things?" Xu Yuan asked in surprise, "How is it possible? Auntie Zheng is such a strong person, even if we offered to help her, she would not accept it. How could she steal things?"
"That's right, that's what I told my mother. There must be some misunderstanding, or she forgot where she put it. But she insisted that Aunt Zheng stole her earrings, and then ran to Aunt Zheng's room to search. , I lost face at all, so I resigned on my own initiative." Wen Miao said.
Xu Yuan thought to herself, Su Qianyun, who is so exquisite and smart, should not be aimless, and Wang Xinning's mother is absolutely impossible to steal, so there must be other problems between them.Su Qianyun said that this is a drunkard who deliberately finds faults and drives people away.
In school, the one who slept with Xu Yuan was a Korean student studying abroad.That girl went out to study abroad with her boyfriend, so she often took her boyfriend back to the dormitory to stay overnight.Xu Yuan felt awkward and inconvenient, so she wanted to move out.
After discussing with Wen Miao, the two girls hit it off and decided to rent a house to live together. Firstly, their school is not far away, so they have a caretaker living together. Secondly, it is convenient for them to start their business. Thirdly, Xu Yuan can also provide counseling. Wen Miao speaks Russian, otherwise, she would have a problem with the department entrance exam.
They rented a three-bedroom apartment, each living in one room, and keeping the other room as a warehouse.
After moving into the rented house, Xu Yuan and Wen Miao used their spare time to roam the streets and alleys of St. Petersburg, looking for imported products that were cheaper than domestic prices and Russian products that could have a domestic market.After many investigations, they finally determined the main business direction, which is the mobile phone and international famous cosmetics that Xu Yuan first took a fancy to.As for the sales method, Xu Yuan proposed Internet sales.
In [-], it was the third year that Ma Yun's Taobao was established.At that time, unlike now, online shopping has occupied most of people's lives and has become the most important channel to exert the national purchasing power.On the contrary, not many people knew the word "online shopping" at that time, and most of those who knew were skeptical.After all, everyone is accustomed to the traditional purchase method of "shopping around" and "paying for it and delivering it".If you can't even see the actual product, and you have to wait for several days to get the goods after paying the money, how can you guarantee after-sales service?Anyone who has never experienced it is not "liver trembling"?
In those days, how many people could have imagined that a humble English teacher would become what everyone called "Papa Horse" ten years later?
Wen Miao was also skeptical about Xu Yuan's proposal. She asked, "This is an online sale, can anyone buy it?"
Xu Yuan knew that she would have this question, and immediately replied: "I have thought about the lack of popularity. Compared with physical store sales, the biggest advantage of online sales is that online sales do not require store costs. Manpower is almost zero cost. We can use that part of the cost of renting stores to advertise to make up for the disadvantage of not being as well-known as physical stores. Moreover, I have done research, and now college students’ support for online shopping is increasing year by year, and we sell mobile phones. The most important consumers of cosmetics and cosmetics are also these young people."
"What about the trust of consumers? If I were to buy such expensive cosmetics, I would definitely go to a big shopping mall to rest assured. I wouldn't dare to buy them without trying them." Wen Miao raised another question.
Xu Yuan replied: "I've thought about this too, and there are two ways. First, encourage consumers to go to the mall to try it first. After the trial, compare it with our price. It's self-evident which one you should buy. Because I know big shopping malls There are free trials of cosmetics, and some people even try full-face makeup directly.”
"Hahaha, isn't this a bit immoral? But, they sell such expensive cosmetics, so it shouldn't be too bad." Wen Miao covered her mouth and laughed.
Xu Yuan continued: "The second way is that we sell trial packs. We can divide the more popular products into sub-packages, such as 30 grams of liquid foundation, and divide it into twenty or so small packages of 1 gram, so that the price will feel cheap. It’s cheap, everyone can buy it and try it out, and then buy formal clothes after trying it out, without too much financial pressure. Moreover, this method of selling only makes money but not losses.”
"This is a way, you are too smart, Yuanyuan!" Wen Miao was a little moved by Xu Yuan's words.
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "It's not that I'm smart, it's that there seems to be no other choice besides online sales. Think about it, we can't keep going to China to bring goods regardless of our studies!"
Wen Miao nodded, agreeing with Xu Yuan's opinion.
