give you a soft spot

This time I came here specifically to learn from the scriptures. Yunshang Watermelon, whose real name is Zhao Ran, is two years older than me. She has opened an online clothing store for almost six years. She studied economics and management and dropped out of a key university to start clothing in her freshman year despite her family’s opposition. In the business, I started selling for others, but after figuring out the way, I decided to handle every link by myself. She is a heroine with dreams, responsibilities and courage.

After having dinner together that night, she took me to visit her studio. It was ninety o'clock when we went, except for a few customer service personnel sitting in front of the computer on the second floor, there was no one on the first and third floors.

She patiently led me around from downstairs to upstairs. I watched carefully and listened carefully to every word she said.

"If you know design and have done planning, you should know that the fashion industry is very expensive. The start-up capital must be rich, so that you won't be clumsy and afraid to move forward."

"If you're just starting out, it's best to use rented stores. After all, it's not sure which city the brand core will eventually be located in."

"Clothing studios also often serve some clothing brands. Some big brands will outsource a series of clothing designs to excellent studios. Only with customer resources can they have an advantage. I know a circle of colleagues, and his design company is now He has successfully participated in the development of many domestic sports brands. He has a deep network in the circle, except for those Internet celebrity friends, he is also familiar with half of the entertainment stars."

"Talk about the garment factory, this is the most important thing that cannot be ignored. No matter how good the design drawings and sales plan of your studio are, as long as the finished product is not checked well, the things you make are unsightly, and it is equivalent to talking about it on paper. In the end, the loss in the end is immeasurable. Many workers in garment factories do not understand the professional knowledge of clothing, and they can only follow the gourd. Get involved with your workers and communicate more."

"Since you graduated from the fashion department, I don't need to tell you about the equipment and personnel required by the clothing studio. You know it well. You have the advantage that you can take on the design responsibility, unlike me, who only do fixed design. There are only three teachers, not to mention, and occasionally I have to go outside to get design drafts, and often the design ideas are deviated, they don’t understand me, and I don’t understand them, it’s a headache.”

"Now all kinds of clothing studios are blooming everywhere. There are too many who want to build their own brands, but too few succeed. The most important thing is not to give up. Even if your designs can't be sold at the beginning, you must persist and stop. It's better than running away."

"My personal suggestion is that choosing a good graphic model is not as good as choosing a good photographer. The focus of photos is on retouching. The model is not bad, but the photographer must be excellent."

......

Zhao Ran talked to me about her experience over the years in that one hour, and let me really know what it means to be a person who has experienced it.

I am very grateful for her seemingly unreserved and enthusiastic guidance, and I will communicate with her in depth when I encounter things that I don’t understand.

In the end, what she said was dry with lips and tongue, but my blood boiled when I heard it.

When we sat down to rest, I couldn't help but say thanks, but she turned me down before I had finished speaking.

"Don't thank me. I had such a difficult start at the beginning. Sometimes I couldn't even pay your manuscript fee. You never gave up on working with me. Your encouragement and support really meant a lot to me. "Zhao Ran smiled and looked at me sideways, "You gave me a lot of design drawings for free at that time. The new stores in the entire first quarter of that year were all your works. After accumulating funds, you were able to regroup. It is a very important turning point. I asked you why you helped me, do you still remember how you answered?"

I shook my head and smiled slightly: "It's been too long, I really don't remember."

"You said you like people who are brave enough to pursue their dreams."

When it comes to dreams, Zhao Ran and I are definitely on the same path, which is why we can always talk.

"That's it for today, and tomorrow I'll take you to see the garment factory we cooperate with."

After she got up, she said she was going to take me back to the hotel, and I quickly stopped her: "No, I'll take a taxi or take the subway back, and I've already troubled you."

"I'm on my way, let's go, don't be shy."

After getting up, the woman inadvertently glanced at my lit phone screen, and asked with a smile, "Is that Xi Zhuo next to you?"

Hearing Xi Zhuo's name, my heart shrank suddenly, I turned off my phone and nodded: "Yeah."

"Although I don't follow stars, I still like him," Zhao Ran said while walking, "He always reminds me of an English word."

I responded with interest: "Words?"

"It's Perfect," she said with a tone of emotion, "Excellent in every aspect, not what perfection is."

I didn't answer the call, or more precisely, I didn't want to continue this topic. I walked into the night and looked up at a certain drink advertisement on the huge screen in the square not far away. I knew both the man and the dog in it, and I felt sad. , and finally changed to a silent wry smile, opened Zhao Ran's car door and got in.

During the few days I went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for inspection, Bi Gong was starting to rent a shop. After I came back, he immediately showed me several cost-effective ones and asked me to finalize one.

I ridiculed him for not opening a noodle restaurant well because he wanted to change his career.

He curled his lips: "You are not righteous, I am kind enough to help you, and you still run on me."

I smiled: "Follow me, are you not afraid of losing money?"

He boldly said: "Money is a bastard, if we lose it, we will make it again."

I compared those few facades and said: "The reason why I didn't choose to start in another city is because I don't want to waste my contacts in my hometown, so that it is relatively easier to register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and handle taxation..."

Bi Gong interrupted: "Ah Ming."

I thought he was about to express his opinion, so I turned my head and listened carefully.

"You look so attractive when you focus on one thing," he tilted his head to look at me, "If I bend over, I'll take you in."

I almost rolled my eyes: "Ah bah, you think we don't have selection criteria and anyone can do it? You like me and I don't like you, you are so ugly."

Bi Gong held his chest as if he had been shot, and his face was full of pain: "My heart is pierced."

"Are you still thinking about it? Yuan Miao just posted a status saying that she didn't drive or bring an umbrella. What are you still doing here? She's leaving get off work soon."

Bi Gong got up immediately and said: "It's over, it's over, I forgot about this matter."

I snorted and said, "If you catch him, you won't know how to work hard. Don't turn around and run away from me, crying."

Bi Gong suddenly stopped at the door: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"what's up."

"Bi Jing called me this morning. You know, he will never contact his family in 180 lifetimes."

I guessed: "If you encounter difficulties outside, ask for help from your brother who is almost forgotten by him?"

Bi Gong shook his head: "He only asked me if you were at home."

I was surprised: "Ask me?"

"Strange?" Bi Gong shrugged, "I asked him carefully but he didn't say anything."

I frowned and looked out the window, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "How did you answer?"

The person at the door is gone.
