CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 289: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Lin Wanwan listened to Gu Jingyu’s words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, starting is always the hardest, but we have to give it a try."

Gu Jingyu saw she was serious about starting a cross-border e-commerce business, rather than just talking about it casually, and then asked, "What products are you planning to sell? Have you done market research? Stocking too much or too little has its own issues.

If you stock too much, you might face a clearance by Amazon, and by then you not only lose your goods but also have to pay clearance fees; if you stock too little and run out, your link traffic might go to waste, and your initial advertising investment could be a waste."

Lin Wanwan replied, "I plan to sell embroidery."

"Embroidery? Is there a market for embroidery overseas? Have you researched it?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "First, tell me about the current Amazon-based model, and I’ll see if it’s feasible."

Gu Jingyu was naturally candid, and thus began to detail the introduction while not forgetting to eat at the same time, as the food was extremely delicious.

After listening to all the difficulties and the authoritarian nature of the platform described by Gu Jingyu, Lin Wanwan still decided to go into cross-border e-commerce and extended an olive branch to Gu Jingyu.

Gu Jingyu hesitated a bit: "Wanwan, to be honest, I’m quite happy with my current company and job. Although it’s not a government unit or civil service, it’s definitely among the top in private companies.

You know my fiancé’s salary; our family can’t afford any troubles. In the future, we might have to rely on my salary to support the child."

Lin Wanwan said, "Your current monthly salary is seven thousand, right? I’ll give you nine thousand. How about it? At the moment, we don’t need to expand, just one operator like you, and I’m sure I can afford it."

Gu Jingyu considered for a moment, ate the last piece of pork knuckle, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright! Then I’ll follow you! When do you plan to start? When should I report to work?"

Lin Wanwan said, "Within a month, just in time for you to resign and hand over your duties."

"Great, do you currently own a company?"

"No, but registering a company is simple."

"That’s true. Since you’re sincere about opening an Amazon store, I’ll go back and submit my resignation report immediately. But don’t you dare tell me later that you’re not doing it anymore after I resign."

Lin Wanwan laughed: "Relax, am I that unreliable?"

Gu Jingyu also laughed: "Haha, with you saying that, I’m relieved."

Then she spoke about her expertise: "Wanwan, if you’re really planning to sell embroidery, I suggest you open the Japan market. After all, Japanese people recognize and appreciate our Huaxia intangible heritage treasures.

Of course, you can also open the US market. The store I’m managing now has both the US and Japan markets.

I graduated with an English major and took Japanese as a minor language. If you count my internship duration, I’ve been working in my current company for almost three years. I’m capable of handling both language and operations, so you definitely won’t regret hiring me."

Lin Wanwan smiled: "I obviously know your abilities; otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked for you first!"

The meal was enjoyable for both host and guest, and Gu Jingyu had no issues, now waiting for Lin Wanwan to prepare the stage.

As they were leaving, Lu Shouyue was still around, they exchanged greetings, and Lin Wanwan drove Gu Jingyu home, stopping by a small supermarket on the way to buy two boxes of Ferrero chocolates.

One box was, of course, for little Qingyu, and the other was given to Gu Jingyu, who also loved chocolate.

On the way back, Gu Jingyu started complaining about her fiancé’s family.

Things like the trousseau being very thin and fine, with her future mother-in-law claiming it was fashionable to be delicate now. She also mentioned they didn’t have a diamond ring, and she had to drag her fiancé to buy one, spending half of her own money, yet deceiving her parents by saying it was all from the groom.

There were many other issues.

As the wedding approached, there were so many problems that it made Lin Wanwan more cautious about marriage.

It’s far from heading towards happiness; it’s clearly wearing away at love. No wonder they say marriage is the grave of love.

Gu Jingyu has always been serious about her work, and perhaps her most blinded decision was falling for her current fiancé; love indeed makes one blind.

However, regarding matters of love, Lin Wanwan couldn’t say too much.

No matter how much Gu Jingyu complained to her, she never joined in the criticism or directly advised breaking up.

The couple is about to get married soon, so what else can she say besides congratulations?

Some things the person involved can complain about, but others shouldn’t join in, otherwise when the couple turns around and becomes all loving again, Lin Wanwan would end up being the only fool, just imagining it is awkward.

Regarding matters of male-female relationships, Lin Wanwan, being single and inexperienced, should better stay quiet; there’s no qualification to point fingers at others.

Since Gu Jingyu is determined to marry her fiancé despite her abundant complaints, there must be reasons she finds difficult to let go.

Perhaps it’s the high sunk cost of love, perhaps it’s love itself, who knows.

After dropping off Gu Jingyu and returning to her small villa, Lin Wanwan opened the website and checked the company registration matter; it was indeed quite simple, and she felt she could handle it.

Now it’s all electronic registration, allowing the choice of fully online mode, and the business license can be chosen to be sent via courier, quite convenient.

Since it’s nighttime, there’s no time to operate, so Lin Wanwan plans to apply during normal work hours tomorrow during the day when she returns to modern times.

Although Lin Wanwan hasn’t handled administrative work, these matters are simple enough that she can manage them herself.

Now that she has the operational talent, and the supply will be handled, once she gets the business license, she can start recruiting a professional finance team and cashiers.

Once everyone is in place, a small-scale company can be opened!

Actually, Lin Wanwan’s idea of doing cross-border e-commerce and selling embroidery isn’t purely for making money.

If her sole focus was on earning money, she’d rather buy gold and jade jewelry and antiques directly in the Great Tang, or trading in wood would be simpler than selling embroidery.

She wants to sell embroidery simply to contribute to Huaxia’s intangible heritage, like how she posts videos of Heng Wu playing Konghou Melody and performing Hu Xuan Dance on international platforms.

These are treasures of Huaxia culture, and it would be a pity not to pass them on.

Thinking of intangible cultural heritage, Lin Wanwan took out her phone, opened a VPN software, looked at her YT account, and found that not only did the click rate increase significantly, but there were also thousands of comments.

Lin Wanwan read through the comments rapidly, and most of them hoped she could reveal the Konghou melodious scores.

This is no difficult task; it was part of her plan.

The Konghou of ancient times has long been lost, letting the Konghou Melody resurface in the world after a millennium, allowing people worldwide to experience the classical civilization of Huaxia is one of her aspirations.

Seeing she still had time, she took two Konghou melodious scores she had organized from the drawer of the desk, took photos, slightly processed the images, and posted them on her YT account.

The people following her "My Home in the Tang Dynasty" account numbered in the millions, and as soon as she posted the scores, it stirred excitement among her fans.’

Afterwards, Lin Wanwan closed the foreign network and didn’t manage the follow-up.

During her busy return to the Tang Dynasty time, a few big names in the music festival community who were always following her YT account soon saw her updated scores, causing a stir in the music circle.
