Chapter 14 Planning the first step
Luo Fan himself has no interest in anime, two-dimensional, etc.
But Li Jingyi is a complete otakus, she loves to play otome games, and she likes to watch anime or light novels with some skewness. She has also been very knowledgeable about normal anime.
In order to pursue Li Jingyi, Luo Fan got into the trap of anime.
When Luo Fan graduated from university in his previous life, there was something in the AG circle that was particularly famous. A clothing factory owner watched anime because his son loved to watch anime.
The owner of the clothing factory who watched it thought some anime characters were cute and could be printed on the clothes and sold.
At that time, there was no copyright in the animation in China. It could be read on any website, and people were printed on clothes, and no one would care about doing things around.
The boss took advantage of this loophole and made several small goals from 2008 to 2012. It was not until the capital entered the market in 2013 that major websites began to compete for the copyright of animation and introduced regularization of animation. The boss gave up doing business around the surrounding areas.
Luo Fan felt that he could operate this way.
Just now, e-commerce is beginning to emerge, and it will also appear at the end of this year’s Double Eleven. After you find a clothing factory to customize clothes, you can use the online platform to sell it.
When he made money, Luo Fan was about to make his next mini-game - Fruit Ninja.
Luo Fan remembers that this game appeared in April and May 2010, when smartphones began to become popular. This game caught up with the east wind of smartphones' popularity and became popular all over the world like wildfire.
Of course, it is not realistic to knock out the fruit ninja by Luo Fan alone. After all, the fruit ninja is not like 2048, with semi-public codes and imitation games everywhere.
Luo Fanwei's game company has also made similar imitations in 2048. He has long been familiar with the code of 2048, so he can only type it out by himself.
Fruit Ninja Luo Fan was just playing it and was not clear about its code, so he definitely needed a professional team to help.
At least 2 to 3 people must cooperate to make this game in a short period of time.
Where does the money for hiring someone, buying a computer, and renting an office come from?
Of course, it is by harvesting a wave of dead houses, which is the first step in Luo Fan's plan.
When Luo Fan ran to the wholesale market, it was already completely dark and some merchants were about to close their stalls.
He walked around the mall for a long time and finally stopped at the door of a middle-aged uncle who had no customers.
"Uncle, how do you sell T-shirts here?" Luo Fan walked in and asked.
"The amount of 25 plus cotton is 22, and the amount of 30 pure cotton is 27." The uncle said without raising his head.
"Did your family make these clothes by themselves?" Luo Fan continued to ask tentatively.
"How do you know?"
"I saw that there was no trademark on it!"
Hearing this, the uncle raised his head and said, "Young man, don't worry, the quality of my clothes here is absolutely fine, it's the same whether it is a trademark or not.
Many big brands get goods from me, and after that, they put their own brands on and sold them.”
"Uncle, can you add a larger area of pictures on your clothes?" Luo Fan continued to ask.
"Yes! But if you customize it, you will need at least 200 pieces."
"If I order a few thousand pieces, can you give it a little cheaper?"
"Several thousand pieces? Young man, are you not kidding? You are still a student in your dress, right? Can you order thousands of clothes?" The uncle looked up and down and said.
"Of course it can! Uncle, I have money! But I want to see if your family's craftsmanship is qualified first. You have to make a sample and let me see it."
"Make a sample? No! I need at least 200 pieces to customize here." The uncle refused without thinking.
Luo Fan was not anxious to hear this and said, "Uncle, I just switched this clothing city and counted 6 of them sold these unlisted ones. The other 5 businesses are all good, but there are no one in your family..."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean we can work together for a long time, as long as you prove that the quality of the clothes you make is OK."
"I'm a small business here, can you get the funds?" the uncle hesitated and asked.
"Of course, we can go to the bank now and I'll show you the balance in my card."
After hearing what Luo Fan said, the uncle believed it a little. After thinking about it, he asked, "How much money do you have?"
"The card I carry is more than 100,000 yuan, I don't know how much it is." Luo Fan replied deliberately in a casual tone.
"More than 100,000? How many T-shirts can you customize?"
"I said I would like to start with a few thousand pieces, at least 1,000 pieces, but we must ensure quality and price.
"Don't worry about the quality, absolutely no problem. If the price is, I'll give you a piece of pure cotton, and add 5 pieces to the printed image."
Luo Fan didn't believe what he said to the uncle. No one in business would explain his bottom line from the beginning. There must be some negotiations on this price.
However, even if the uncle gives the price now, an ordinary cotton T-shirt costs 15 yuan, and the extra 5 yuan is added to print an image of an anime character, the cost is 20 yuan. Luo Fan has 115,000 yuan to get 5,750 clothes.
But Luo Fan couldn't do all the clothes. He could do it by himself when opening an online store, but it would be useless if he didn't promote it.
Moreover, the express delivery fee is also money, and there are other sporadic expenses. You always have to leave some money to turn over. The initial stage of 3,400 pieces is probably the limit.
Clothes cost 20 yuan, and the express delivery fee in 2009 is relatively expensive, so it is estimated that it will cost 10 yuan per order. In addition to other messy expenses, the cost of a T-shirt is about 30 yuan.
The cost of 30 yuan is that the price of this piece of clothing costs less than 100 yuan.
Currently, the pure cotton T-shirts on the market are about 50 yuan per brand, and the premium of the brand is quite serious. In general, about 100 yuan is not too expensive. After all, there are everyone’s wives on the T-shirts! It is absolutely not a loss to pay for love!
Of course, this is just an estimate based on the lowest price mentioned by the boss. When it comes to serious talks, it is not a big problem to push down half of it.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan made up his mind to do it. He and the uncle left a phone number, told the uncle the pattern they wanted to print, and then made an appointment to come to see the clothes tomorrow afternoon.
According to Luo Fan's estimate, as soon as the reports from other departments end tomorrow, military training will begin the day after tomorrow. He must order the T-shirt before the military training, and the T-shirt should be completed by the end of the military training.
Of course, Luo Fan did not completely believe this uncle. He planned to find a lawyer to come tomorrow, and have a lawyer to be a witness, so he would be more at ease signing a contract or something.
In fact, the uncle also had a similar idea. Luo Fan was obviously a student at such an age, and he was just a poor person who was not very good at doing things, so the uncle didn't dare to believe Luo Fan completely.
The uncle, like Luo Fan, planned to find a more famous person to come and testify to prevent Luo Fan from running away without paying for clothes. His factory could not afford the second blow.
