The prices in England were more expensive than in China, and the expenses were high. Luo Li had to scrimp and save for more than 1,000 pounds (10,000 dollars) a month, so she decided to start her own business.
At that time, a classmate recommended Luo Li to work in a local restaurant. She could earn five to six hundred pounds (five to six thousand RMB) a month, but the students were all applying for student visas, so they were not allowed to work. Although many students secretly called, the disadvantages were that first, they did not sign a contract. In the end, the employer would not give you a salary without legal protection. Second, if they were reported or found out, there was a possibility of being sent back.
At that time, there were also many seniors who were doing purchasing services, such as milk powder and luxury jewelry, but most of them were done on WeChat. They earned money from relatives and friends, and it was not a big deal. Luo Li wanted to change the platform. After a few rounds of investigation, she set her sights on Ali Daddy, Taobao, and the UK's ebay.
Many Chinese people liked to find people to buy on their behalf. Firstly, there were too many fake goods in China. Secondly, the products bought on their behalf were cheaper than those in China.
Luo Li first registered a Taobao shop and paid 1000 yuan as a security deposit. After that, she was going to sell the products. Luo Li learned from a senior that there was a discount village nearby that took 50 minutes by car. There were all kinds of luxury brands, and there were often discount events. Sometimes, the original price of 20,000 yuan was only sold for a few thousand yuan. Luo Li heard that she was going to go on the weekend. She originally planned to take Wang Zhengguo's car to go, but she thought about it and decided to take the bus herself.
On the weekends, Luo Li woke up early and caught the first bus to the discount village. On the way, she wanted to see the scenery, but there were only trees on both sides of the road. Luo Li leaned against the window and took a nap. Ever since she was young, she liked to lean her head against the window. This way, when the car was bumpy, her head would move along with it, making people feel a sense of existence.
When they arrived at the discount village, the sun had just risen. They entered the discount village under the light of dawn. They originally thought that it would be like a high-rise shopping mall in the country, but they realized that it was not. There were single-story houses, and the tallest was only three stories high. There were all kinds of brands from first to second and third tier. Luo Li looked at them one by one and took photos of the products as she looked at them. When the staff found out that Luo Li wanted to get the goods from here to sell, they took the initiative to help her with the clothes and decorations. They took photos from morning to noon, ate a KFC meal, and continued to take photos until the sky was about to turn dark. She had just taken the bus back to Manchester City when she bumped into a few classmates who were also shopping. They were all carrying big and small bags.
After arriving at the dormitory, he took some of the products one by one and took a photo of his student ID card to prove that he was a real buyer.
Then, he bought a renovation template to renovate the Taobao shop. He worked until two in the morning before he washed up and went to bed.
After that, it took two days to upload all the photos.
Often, keywords were very important. Because she had never done Taobao before and was too lazy to read the tutorial, Luo Li directly copied the precious title of the seller in front of her to her shop.
On the first night, she checked that there were only 50 or so views, and none of them bought it. Luo Li summarized the problems that she thought were due to the description and price. She then used the description of her peers as a reference and revised them one by one. Then, she marked the front page with a 10% discount for the entire store.
After that, the number of customers who came to ask increased day by day. On the same day, he received his first order. It was a Givenchy handbag that cost 1,200 pounds (12,000 dollars). Luo Li sold it for 14,000 dollars. After the discount, he made a net profit of 600. He was so excited that he took the bus to pick up the goods that day. In the afternoon, he bandaged it and sent it to Lin Zilan's shop.
Lin Zilan had a partnership with China Post. Every day, someone would come to her store to collect the goods. When Luo Li delivered the goods, Violet Orchid glanced at her and ignored her.
Luo Li walked to the counter and placed the goods on the counter. She handed over the cash and said,"I want to deliver the goods."
Lin Zilan lowered her head and didn't say anything. Luo Li ignored her and walked out with the goods.
When he reached the door, he heard Lin Zilan's voice,""Come back, where should I send it?" Luo Li turned around."To Shanghai in China."
Lin Zilan said,"Give it to me." Luo Li handed over the goods, paid the money, and prepared to leave.”
Girls needed to be coaxed when they were angry, but Luo Li really didn't want their friendship to develop into a couple. Luo Li was already very satisfied with the current situation. No matter what, she didn't want to be buried in her memories.
Luo Li had just turned around when Lin Zilan said,"Wait."”Luo Li asked without turning around.
Lin Zilan lowered her head as she wrote the list.""I'll treat you to a meal."
Luo Li said,"I'm very busy."
Lin Zilan said," Just as friends."
Luo Li said,"I'm really busy."
Lin Zilan threw her pen on the table and said,""What's there to be busy about? You just want to stay away from me. Then don't send express mail in the future."
Luo Li turned around and slowly walked towards Lin Zilan. She placed both hands on the counter and looked at Lin Zilan.
"You're a good girl, it's my fault."
Lin Zilan said,"I don't understand. Explain yourself."
Luo Li sighed and looked outside the door."Let's go for coffee and talk."
" Alright, I'll get someone to look after the shop," Lin Zilan said.
After that, Lin Zilan took the car keys and was about to start the car when Luo Li said," Don't drive, let's walk over."
"Isn't it a little far?" Lin Zilan asked.
Luo Li said,"It just drizzled and the weather is refreshing. It would be nice to chat while walking."
" Alright, I'll listen to you," Lin Zilan said as she tied her hair.
