South City, Commercial Street.

Lin Fan arrived at a clothing store.

This store is quite large, with clothes of various price ranges hanging on the walls.

The cheaper ones are only eleven or twenty yuan, but there are also foreign brands that cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan.

In those days, similar occasions didn't involve sellers renting shops and hanging their goods up themselves. Instead, the owners behind the clothing market would proactively bring in branded clothing to hang up and sell.

This kind of cooperation model is very challenging. Clothing becomes the boss's eye; whether or not he can make money depends on whether he can introduce popular and easy-to-sell styles.

So later, with the changing times, it gradually developed into what it is today: they only provide land for rent, and they don't care whether it sells well or not.

"Hello, sir, what kind of clothes are you looking to buy? Let me recommend some to you!"

After Lin Fan browsed around the clothing market for a couple of hours, one of the sales clerks immediately came over to him.

The saleswoman, dressed in a light brown business suit, stood in front of Lin Fan with a professional smile on her face, slightly bowing and extending her hands in an invitation.

Lin Fan smiled at the sales clerk and said, "Could you please take me to your luxury goods boutique?"

Upon hearing the words "luxury goods specialty store," the salesperson's eyes lit up.

Luxury items are all from various major foreign brands, whether it's clothing, jewelry, or even watches, and they all start at least in the thousands of dollars.

The commission from selling just one item could be equivalent to two or three months' salary for him, so she was very excited.

"Sir, please come this way. Are you looking to buy clothes or something else? I can give you some recommendations."

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Take me to the place where you buy clothes and shoes."

"Okay, sir, this way please!"

After arriving at the luxury goods counter, Lin Fan looked around and secretly memorized the popular styles and fabrics sold there, so that he could improve the clothes he made when he got back.

After looking at Lin Fan for a long time and seeing that he didn't seem to want to buy anything, the shop assistant's enthusiastic smile faded considerably.

There are quite a few people who only look and don't buy, in fact, the vast majority, so he was used to it and didn't speak rudely to Lin Fan. Instead, he continued to be polite and said, "Sir, these also have styles available for trying on. You are welcome to try them on if you wish!"

Lin Fan smiled at the sales clerk and suddenly asked, "Is the owner of this clothing market here?"

The receiving clerk was taken aback, then forced a smile and said, "Sir, are you here to see our boss?"

"Our boss might be quite busy and may not have time to see you. Is there anything you need that you can tell me, and I will pass it on to you?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything, but took out the several thousand yuan he had brought with him when he left home and waved it in front of the salesperson.

"I have some business to discuss with your boss. If possible, please pass on my message. Ideally, we could meet now!"

The sales clerk's eyes widened when she saw the several thousand yuan in Lin Fan's hand.

For jobs like theirs, the daily wage is only about ten yuan, and they can earn a few hundred yuan a year. If they want to earn five thousand yuan, it would take more than ten years.

I thought this young man was unremarkable in appearance and only looked at luxury goods without buying them, so he probably didn't have much money. I never expected him to be carrying so much cash with him.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go see our boss right away!"

A few thousand dollars is certainly not worth the boss personally getting involved, since the store sells luxury goods and it's just the manager who personally serves customers.

However, since this young man was able to produce so much cash at once, it means that his net worth is far more than that, and he is qualified to have a face-to-face meeting with the boss.

Not long after, the saleswoman returned, accompanied by a rather pretty woman in her thirties.

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised when he saw the young woman. He hadn't expected that the owner of such a large clothing market would be a woman, and so young at that.

"Hello sir, I'm the owner here. Are you the one who wants to see me?"

The female boss walked up to Lin Fan, looked him up and down a few times, then smiled slightly, nodded at him, and spoke, while extending a hand.

Lin Fan, being very sensible, also reached out and shook hands with the female boss, smiling as well: "Boss, I have a business deal to discuss with you. I wonder if you're available now?"

The female boss nodded and said, "Of course it's convenient. May I ask what you would like to discuss with me, sir? This way, please!"

The female boss led Lin Fan to the innermost compartment of the clothing market, which was her usual office and lounge.

After entering, the female owner politely made Lin Fan a cup of coffee, then sat in the main seat, crossed her legs, and asked, "Sir, you seem to be quite young?"

"So young and already so insightful, sir, may I ask what kind of collaboration you would like to discuss with me?"

Lin Fan looked at the female boss and slowly said, "Boss, you must have all kinds of clothing brands here, right?"

"I'd like to collaborate with you and see if I can also list the clothes my family manufactures for sale here!"

Hearing that Lin Fan's only request was this, the female shop owner raised an eyebrow and said, "Sir, it's not difficult for me to buy your clothes and then sell them here. If the quality and design of your clothes are decent, I can give it a try."

Under this outdated business philosophy, every piece of clothing the female boss hangs here was bought directly from the manufacturer at a low price.

In other words, if the clothes here don't sell, it will suffer a direct loss, so Lin Fan's words now are more like bidding for his own products.

This is similar to a merchant selling watermelons. Lin Fan is a watermelon farmer. The watermelons first need to be bought by the supermarket owner, and then the supermarket owner sells the watermelons to make a profit from the price difference. If the watermelons cannot be sold, they will be stuck in his hands.

Therefore, the female boss had to carefully consider any piece of clothing she was introducing. She didn't directly agree to Lin Fan's proposal, but she also didn't go back immediately, leaving some room for maneuver. She wanted to see if this outstanding young man could bring her any surprises.

There are many opportunities in this era. If there are clothes that are cheap and sell well, then he can also make a lot of money.

"Boss, please don't agree yet. I haven't explained it to you clearly. My clothes are a bit special."
