What surprised the director and cameraman was that Ye Xiaohe, despite her immense popularity, was extremely cooperative.
She filmed exactly as instructed!
It was truly incredible.
What they didn't know was that as long as it concerned Wang Yi, Ye Xiaohe would give her all and cooperate wholeheartedly!
If it were any other client, the level of cooperation would depend on Ye Xiaohe's mood.
Of course, for the artist's privacy, the photographers and directors arranged by Song Sining were all female.
After all, the scale of this kind of magazine shoot was quite daring.
Not only do men love to look at beautiful women, but women do too!
The difference is that men look at the overall picture, while women pay more attention to details.
At 1 PM, Meiyou Mall's revenue surpassed 40 million!
Subsequently, Meiyou Mall's revenue soared like a rocket.
It broke 50 million at 2 PM, 60 million at 4 PM, and 70 million at 6 PM!
By evening, it was thought that the growth rate would continue to slow down.
However, due to office workers getting off work and having sufficient time to shop, the growth rate actually accelerated!
It broke 80 million at 7 PM, and 90 million at 8 PM!
By 10 PM, Meiyou Mall's revenue had already surpassed 100 million!
Such a terrifying growth rate startled Wang Yi.
One can only say that the "pure desire" style autumn wear deeply resonated with people.
In reality, summer dresses are more likely to show off one's figure and enhance temperament.
Autumn wear, however, due to reasons like bulkiness, is less likely to stand out.
This point caused many women a lot of headaches.
But the emergence of Meiyou's "pure desire" style autumn wear completely solved this problem.
For example, dozens of knitted hip-hugging long skirts, which show off the figure, enhance temperament, and keep warm, are simply a must-have for autumn!
They have already been adopted as essential clothing by many Meiyou users!
Especially northern users, almost everyone bought two or three pieces.
A single piece might only be 599 or 799, but with more items, the price adds up.
If paired with a few blazers, sweaters, thigh-high socks, and trench coats, thousands of yuan wouldn't be enough...
It can be said that this wave from Meiyou directly emptied many people's seasonal budgets for new autumn clothes in one go!
After all, they would have to buy them sooner or later, so why not buy early and enjoy early?
Under this mindset, Meiyou's "pure desire" style autumn wear completely sold out on its first day of listing, quickly exceeding 100 million!
However, this was only online revenue.
Meiyou's offline northern flagship stores, as well as one hundred newly opened specialty stores and one hundred authorized stores, also sold exceptionally well.
Wang Yi opened the inventory management system, and today's offline revenue was already out.
Flagship stores in different cities had varying revenues.
For example, the five flagship stores in the imperial capital had daily revenues ranging from 5 million to 7 million!
All of them broke previous records!
After all, previously they only sold "pure desire" style summer dresses; now it's "pure desire" style summer dresses + new "pure desire" style autumn wear sold together, so revenue is naturally higher.
The five flagship stores in the imperial capital today had a total revenue exceeding 30 million, with a net profit of around 20 million.
The revenue of other northern flagship stores, such as those in Jizhou, although significantly less than the imperial capital's flagship stores, more than doubled compared to before!
Their single-day revenues also exceeded 1.5 million, with profits over 900,000, some even exceeding 1 million!
Due to the launch of the "pure desire" style autumn wear, the revenue of northern flagship stores more than doubled.
Southern flagship stores also saw a 50% surge in revenue due to the ZARA incident, which greatly increased Meiyou's visibility.
By September, Meiyou had twenty-three flagship stores open, with total daily revenue exceeding 45 million and total daily profit exceeding 27 million!
Before the end of the month, another twelve flagship stores are about to open.
Next month, Meiyou will have over sixty more flagship stores opening!
By then, with nearly a hundred flagship stores, Meiyou's revenue will reach an even higher level!
Currently, the more capital Meiyou has, the more flagship stores it opens, and the more staggering its revenue and profits will be.
This is a positive cycle!
Moreover, Meiyou's flagship stores are all generously located.
They are either in the most central location of a mall or a standalone mall in a commercial district, typically spanning two or three floors.
Currently, only selling clothing and lipstick seems a bit wasteful.
But next, beauty products will be launched simultaneously, and even mobile phones next year!
Wang Yi has planned all this; by then, phone counters and beauty product counters will be next to the clothing counters.
Someone who originally only wanted to buy clothes might see the Xingyi phone, find it good, and spontaneously buy one.
Someone who originally only wanted to buy a phone might discover Meiyou Beauty products are also excellent and casually pick one up.
The main focus is a linkage effect!
Subsequently, Wang Yi checked the revenue of the specialty stores.
Today, one hundred specialty stores opened in the north, with total revenue exceeding 70 million, an average of 700,000 per store.
Total profit exceeded 21 million, with an average profit per store of over 210,000!
One hundred authorized stores had total revenue exceeding 45 million, an average of over 450,000 per store.
Total profit exceeded 9 million, with an average profit per store of over 90,000.
Both specialty stores and authorized stores surpassed the initial openings in the south in terms of revenue and profit.
Of course, this doesn't mean northern consumers have higher spending power, but rather that southern specialty stores only sell summer wear, while northern ones sell both summer and autumn wear!
Even if summer wear sales in the north aren't high in September, they can still sell a fair amount.
Combined with autumn wear, revenue is naturally higher!
For a time, whether specialty stores, authorized stores, or provincial and city agents, all were excitedly grinning from ear to ear.
They thought joining Meiyou would be profitable, but they never expected it to be this profitable!
It was truly incredible!
That night, countless bosses were too excited to sleep.
Even Wang Yi stayed up until midnight, checking all the revenue before finally going to sleep.
On September 21st, Meiyou Mall's revenue exceeded 110 million!
Coupled with the 45 million revenue from twenty-three offline flagship stores, Meiyou's total revenue for the day surpassed 155 million!
These figures do not include revenue from specialty stores and authorized stores.
After all, their revenue and profit belong to the franchisees; Meiyou's profit was already paid in full at the time of purchase!
Total profit exceeded 100 million, breaking records once again!
Of course, this achievement benefited from the first-day launch of autumn wear, as well as the ZARA incident, widespread public attention, and trending topic traffic.
Subsequently, it will likely be difficult to achieve such high profits.
However, even if subsequent revenue were to halve, leaving only 75 million in daily revenue and 50 million in net profit, Wang Yi would still be content!
There's plenty of time ahead!
If daily revenue were 150 million and profit exceeded 100 million every day, the factories wouldn't be able to keep up.
Only when the second phase of Qiuyun Garment Factory starts mass production next month will Meiyou's revenue take another step forward!
However, with the continuous increase in flagship stores, specialty stores, and authorized stores, Meiyou's revenue will continue to rise.
When offline physical stores reach a formidable level, it's not impossible for Meiyou's single-day revenue to consistently exceed 100 million.
While Wang Yi slept soundly, many senior executives at ZARA were collectively dumbfounded.
They were indeed forced by Davis to stay up until dawn.
The entire conference room was brightly lit, filled with senior executives!
"Damn it, I'm exhausted, I've had five cups of coffee and still haven't come up with anything!"
"That damn Davis, he's despicable. He made us work overtime all night here to figure out how to deal with Meiyou, but he himself is nowhere to be seen, truly detestable!"
"No choice, he's the CEO, after all? We're just subordinates."
"Sigh, a higher rank can be crushing."
Duo Ke frowned slightly:
"Alright, stop talking, let's think of a way to deal with Meiyou!"
"Deal with what? Haven't you seen, Meiyou's revenue surpassed 100 million today."
"This is just online; add offline, and who knows how much Meiyou's total revenue is!"
"Can't think of anything, absolutely no way. We ZARA really can't beat Meiyou; besides cutting prices, there's no other option."
"But that idiot Davis doesn't want to cut prices! He insists ZARA is a mid-range brand aiming for high-end, and shouldn't devalue itself!"
"No price cut? Look how terrible today's revenue is? Everything will just pile up, eventually to be sold as junk!"
"Sigh! Don't even mention that good-for-nothing. I bet that guy is already with his lover, rolling in bed, long forgotten that we're still working overtime!"
"Hahaha, quite possible!"
Outside the door, Davis lowered the hand he was about to use to push it open.
He had originally planned to tell everyone to go home, but they were talking about him like this behind his back!
"Fine, you're all so capable! Cursing me behind my back, are you?"
"Calling me an idiot, a fool, fine!"
"You all can continue to suffer! I'm going back now, to roll in bed with my secretary!"
Davis left in a huff, called his secretary, and went straight to a hotel.
He had just taken office today, and the pressure was already immense; he needed to relieve it properly.
Also sleepless all night was Hu Zixuan!
Watching Meiyou continuously grow, gaining more and more momentum, even taking down ZARA.
Hu Zixuan completely understood that Meiyou was no longer something he could contend with.
To put it plainly, Meiyou developed too quickly; Hallyu Tribe was no longer fit to be Meiyou's opponent!
Now Meiyou's opponents were international giants like ZARA and H&M.
"I used to think about taking down Meiyou, what a joke. Hahaha."
However, Hu Zixuan laughed and then couldn't laugh anymore.
Especially when he saw the one hundred specialty stores and one hundred authorized stores opened in the north, he was completely stunned.
Among these two hundred stores, more than fifty were in the Northeast region.
That is, the Northeast market developed by Zhang Chuanfang!
"That's not right, didn't Chuanfang say that Meiyou didn't send anyone to penetrate the Northeast market? So how did they open so many stores? Incredible!"
"Was Meiyou's operation too secretive? Chuanfang didn't discover it."
"Or did Zhang Chuanfang deceive me?"
Hu Zixuan's expression changed dramatically, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.
"Have I trusted Zhang Chuanfang too much?"
"No, Zhang Chuanfang wouldn't betray me! She wouldn't dare betray me, I have leverage over her!"
"But how to explain the Northeast market situation?"
Hu Zixuan's face turned pale; he quickly pulled out his phone, made a few calls, and finally, in anger, overturned the table:
"Liu Zhixuan, Meiyou's provincial general agent for Gusu Province!"
"Zhang Chuanfang's daughter!"
"Hahaha, hahaha."
"Zhang Chuanfang, oh Zhang Chuanfang, on one hand, you say you share my hatred and will fight Meiyou! On the other hand, you let your daughter become Meiyou's provincial agent! What a brilliant trick, 'the darkest place is right under the lamp'!"
"You old hag, are you making a monkey out of me?"
"Fine, very fine!"
"I've spent my life hunting eagles, never thought I'd be pecked by one in the end!"
"Zhang Chuanfang, you're really something!"
"No wonder when you developed the Southwest market, all the franchisees, provincial agents, and city agents you cultivated suddenly defected and joined Meiyou."
"And now, the Northeast market you developed has also completely defected and joined Meiyou!"
"So you were using your own resources to develop for Meiyou from the very beginning!"
"No wonder Wang Yi let your daughter become the provincial agent for Gusu Province!"
"So, you had already settled the terms from the start!"
"Fine, truly fine!"
In an instant, Hu Zixuan completely understood everything, his gloomy eyes became utterly chilling:
"But by betraying me like this, have you forgotten that I have leverage over you? Aren't you afraid I'll send you to jail?"
"Or does this woman have other backing? Completely fearless?"
The always suspicious Hu Zixuan felt more and more uneasy the more he thought about it, and actually began to lose confidence.
After much thought, he still called Zhang Chuanfang.
The phone connected quickly; it seemed the other party had been waiting for him for a long time:
"You finally called."
Hu Zixuan: "..."
Indeed, the other party was waiting for him.
"Why did you do this? Why did you betray me?"
Hu Zixuan asked angrily.
Even he, usually calm and composed, couldn't keep his composure.
Zhang Chuanfang gave a cold laugh, her mockery undisguised:
"Nonsense, if I didn't do this, didn't betray you, was I supposed to follow you down a dark path? Idiot!"
"Do you really think you're Meiyou's opponent? Go pee in a puddle and look at yourself!"
"You!"
Hu Zixuan was furious.
Was this still the Zhang Chuanfang he knew?
The Zhang Chuanfang who was always submissive, full of admiration, and utterly supportive of him?
Zhang Chuanfang smiled:
"What? Are you surprised? Do you think I've changed?"
Hu Zixuan: "..."
"Heh heh, Mr. Hu, this is the real me. My previous obedience to you was just playing games. Did you really think you had some kind of charisma, some leadership quality, that would make me respect you so much, even be devoted to you?"
Hu Zixuan: "..."
"If it were Boss Wang, I would actually be like that. But you, Hu Zixuan, a scumbag, are you worthy? Bah! You're nothing but dog shit!"
Hu Zixuan: "..."
"Thinking back all these years, I endured humiliation, suppressing the disgust in my heart, flattering you, and feeling wronged, disgusted, nauseous. It's truly unbearable to recall! You garbage human! Why don't you just die!"
Hu Zixuan: "..."
"Fortunately, I don't have to anymore, it's all over, hahaha!"
Listening to Zhang Chuanfang's unrestrained laughter and deeply cutting insults, Hu Zixuan was consumed by rage, his face becoming distorted:
"Zhang Chuanfang, so all of this was fake!"
"Nonsense, you're only just realizing it!"
"You!"
Hu Zixuan was furious beyond measure, but still suppressed his anger:
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. You betraying me like this and siding with Wang Yi, aren't you afraid I'll expose all your secrets and send you to jail?"
"Afraid? Afraid! Of course, I'm afraid! I'm scared to death! Hahaha!"
Zhang Chuanfang acted as if deranged:
"It's just that thing called leverage, do only I have it, and you don't?"
"You... what do you want to do!"
Hu Zixuan's expression subtly changed, an ominous premonition seizing him.
He was constantly surrounded by debt collectors, so the company's full authority could only be handed over to his partner, Zhang Chuanfang!
If the other party wanted to do something, it would be truly too easy.
Zhang Chuanfang laughed:
"What? My Boss Hu, of course, I'm sending you in! Weren't you going to send me in? Then let's go in together and see who gets a longer sentence!"
"Crazy! Crazy! You're really crazy!"
Hu Zixuan's face changed dramatically, cold sweat profusely beading:
"Chuanfang, don't be impulsive, let's talk this through properly! Please don't be impulsive, I didn't mean to send you to jail. Really, I didn't, don't be impulsive!"
