6. Business Model (2)

After the break, it was their turn to present. Su Yeon had a mini sandwich and juice for lunch, as it will give sufficient energy and will not make her dizzy.

While everyone was coming into the auditorium, she was practicing backstage. Yan Su was scared to her wits even if she wasn't the one who will be presenting. Min Seong was equally nervous and reciting the details and numbers.

Moreover, they both were more nervous because Su Yeon, who is going to present, wasn't showing any kind of anxiety. She was calm as water.

For outsiders, this was the impression of Su Yeon but in reality, Su Yeon was nervous too! Presenting in front of the class and presenting in front of everyone on the stage is different. She closed her eyes and started taking few deep breaths.

When the professor called out her name, she came out taking elegant, calm, and confident steps. While standing at the center of the stage, her heart almost came out in her throat. It was thumping crazily.

She once again took a deep breath and smiled. Yes! Her smile was her Ace Card which completely overshadows her anxiety and nervousness.

Min Seong was in charge of adjusting the ppt. She started the ppt and looked at Su Yeon. The three of them shared glances and Su Yeon started the presentation while pacing on the stage,

"Hello everyone, umm.. before starting with our introduction, I would like to ask you one thing. How many of you have THE PERFECT LIFE? Please raise your hands…"

This was unexpected! From the control place, Min Seong and Yan Su looked at her.

Yan Su started getting panic. "What?? This is not how we decided to start! A perfect explanation and witty but correct answers, this is what we were supposed to do! Oh my god, is she feeling nervous?"

Min Seong smirked and said, "As expected from our Su Yeon. Hey! What else do you expect from that psycho, I knew from the beginning. When I was showing the presentation to her in the cafe, she smirked and then gave a cheeky smile. That time I realized that she is up to something. She just didn't want us to get nervous."

Min Seong smiled and was waiting for Su Yeon's next move. Yan Su started praying.

Only a few people raised their hands. Su Yeon looked left side at her friends and said, "Hey! Why don"t you raise your hands? You both have me so of course, your life is also perfect!"

Everyone started laughing. Yan Su whispered, "She is really a psycho!"

Su Yeon continued, "Apart from few lucky people and my two friends, everyone has something imperfect in their life. So, add us to your life to make one thing in your life perfect, your CONFIDENCE! We will heartily help you to make you look perfect.

It is said that, if you feel positive, everything around you becomes positive for you.

Yes! This is Yoon Su Yeon. Me and my partners came up with this wonderful plan of a fashion boutique to offer you the best choice outfit which will make you feel perfect and confident!"

Su Yeon changed her light attitude to a serious attitude and started explaining every detail patiently and carefully but within their pre-decided time limit.

She began her explanation with the introduction of the business idea. As the word suggests, it wouldn't be a manufacturing company but a classic boutique.

Then she gave a detailed explanation about business processes, various business functions like key activities such as how they are going to acquire the raw material, customer relationship strategy, cost structure, and revenue system.

For the recruitment of employees, she divided it into two parts; for normal employees like general staff, they will go with the traditional method of hiring, and for designers, they will search for young aspirants through various competitions and will hire few experienced ones to be their supervisors.

After explaining the core process, she then started giving the SWOT Analysis, in which she explained the analysis of her boutique as well as of other competitors.

In the end, it was a time for their prospective target and a very neat five-year future plan.

She concluded everything within twenty minutes.

The professor called the other two partners on the stage. It was the time of critics' round. This time Prof. Song said first, "Very good Miss Yoon, you and your team have done a great job, but I think you forgot a very critical point in your later slides."

Both the girls looked at Su Yeon and got shocked by her smiling face. She said, "Thank you Prof. Song. May I know what mistake we have done?"

While she was saying, something flashed in the eyes of his Secretary. Mr. Secretary thought, 'That look… sly look… is way more familiar! Now I am completely sure that I was right! Master, I was right!'

Prof. Song asked, "You didn't mention that how you are going to enter the market of Imperial City, which is loaded with competitors in this industry. Do you have any plan?"

He looked at three of them. One was stiff, one was thinking and one had a smile on her face.

On the stage, the real condition was like this; Yan Su was mustering up her courage, Min Seong looked at Su Yeon as she remembered something, and Su Yeon was waiting for Yan Su to speak up.

The Chief and other Professors knew that Su Yeon can answer this question. Looking at her face, she must have a plan but was waiting for something.

Yan Su glanced at Su Yeon's assured face and then said by looking at the professors, "In the case of Imperial City, it is almost impossible for a new brand to enter this market. So, we will start by partnering with the existing one."

"I don't understand, how will you establish your brand name when everyone here is almost slandering the new competitors, please enlighten me more," Prof. Song asked curiously.

Yan Su was having difficulty speaking in front of so many eyes. The other two smiled and assured her to continue.

Yan Su explained, "Partnering means we will boost up a company which was in a dormant state.

As everyone knows, the fashion and garment department of the Song Empire has been dormant due to a lack of variation. Even if Song Empire is a top company in technology and some other fields, it is having negative growth in this sector.

So, we will persuade them to have a partnership with us. We will be benefiting from their reputation and they can have positive revenue because of our new ideas. Since we will be getting the supply of raw material from City K, we can introduce new material and pattern with low cost of production and which was never introduced by Song Empire."

One of the professors asked, "It is good to have a great dream but approaching Song Empire is way more difficult, don't you think?"

"Umm for this we can persuade our Chief to give us a chance of presenting our model to Song Empire. Our Chief once said that he is on good terms with the Vice President of Song Empire…" Yan Su paused, and looking at Prof. Song with a smile she continued, "And I think the President will at least give us a chance to present our idea in front of their team."

Prof. Song smiled and said, "Well done, it was a bit unexpected from you. I was expecting this answer from Miss Yoon, but the least expected one gave it."

Chief commented, "Even if Yoon Su Yeon has given the answer, she could not give the reference of my connection, this kid always sleeps in the lecture!" Everyone except Prof. Song and his secretary started laughing.

Both of them were shocked because of this comment, but the reason behind it was completely different. There was a hint of sadness in Prof. Song's eyes, meanwhile Mr. Secretary was staring at Su Yeon with a hint of happiness on his aloof face.

Three of them saw Mr. Secretary was looking at Su Yeon, two of them didn't get the meaning but Su Yeon caught this happiness in his eyes! She thought that maybe she is hallucinating and brushed it off.

The other professors asked the three of them few questions. All of them answered. Everyone saw that the scared Yan Su has gained a bit of confidence now because of the earlier explanation. Su Yeon answered all business strategy related questions and Min Seong and Yan Su answered all data-related questions.

When everything was done, everyone clapped for them as it was a full-pack presentation. It had a wonderful start, precise and timely explanation of each element, perfect and witty response to the critics with the sprinkle of a joke from their Chief. After bowing, they left the stage.
