Chapter 497: Chapter 291: News of the Jinghai Garden Pickup Race
"Long hours of high-intensity livestream selling really consume mental and physical energy, your performance is already excellent!"
Zhang Yang gave Chen Xiu high praise for her performance.
"Really? In a few instances, I didn’t handle well, felt like I neglected the host accounts that were competing for rankings!"
Chen Xiu was slightly dissatisfied with her performance and started to review the livestream casually.
"No worries, you’ll get the hang of it next time! Everyone’s here for the livestream traffic, so there’s no need for emotional fluctuation when you receive gifts—it’s just mutual needs, as long as you can manage appearances!"
"Speaking of gifts, weren’t we supposed to have twenty ranking supporters follow us? Why did it change to ten at the last minute? The timing for ticket ranking was also different from what we initially planned!" Chen Xiu continued to ask humbly.
Zhang Yang grinned: "Jiadiaoni and Mermaid are clashing; I certainly won’t let them have their way!
Other hosts aren’t a threat to us, but they are company accounts; when their popularity rises, they threaten us!
Reducing the number of followers was a decision I made spontaneously; there’s an idiom ’rare goods worth hoarding’, and we hold the traffic code, it requires a certain stance!
Fewer spots mean fiercer competition, and indeed, as I predicted, we didn’t receive less gift money, and it even reduced your time on connections.
Didn’t you notice? Connecting with ten accounts took you over an hour!
If we followed the original plan of twenty follower points, we’d never complete the flow by now and would need another hour till closing!"
The pair were quietly discussing the livestream matters when the assistant responsible for background data brought over freshly compiled statistics for tonight.
"Brother Yang, Brother Xiu, all statistics for tonight’s livestream event are out!"
"Oh? How’s it? What’s the sales turnover?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu stood up impatiently, grabbed the printed paper from the assistant’s hands.
"Damn, not bad, sold over fourteen million!! The gift income alone is nearly two million! Brother Yang, look!" Chen Xiu hurriedly handed the statistics to Zhang Yang for review.
Zhang Yang glanced briefly and returned the data to Chen Xiu: "This is just the beginning, this trial is to familiarize ourselves with the workflow, once we gain experience, aim for breaking twenty million next time!"
"Such high revenue, the giveaways we paid out should not be at a loss!" Chen Xiu continued.
"Loss? With the free shipping products at eight yuan each, we only bought five hundred tackle boxes and those five hundred fishing rods worth some money, in total just sixty to seventy thousand!
Next time we hold an event, use all welfare items branded with our own logo! Treat it as advertising expenses, won’t lose money, truly a loss, it’ll be on me!"
Chen Xiu: "That’s great! The profit isn’t clear yet, but it’s definitely profitable, I’ll compile detailed accounts later and send it to you first thing!"
Zhang Yang grinned and waved indifferent hands, said: "Money matters are not urgent, there will be some return and after-sales later, after all costs are calculated, settling with the company won’t be late!
Here, I especially remind you, selling products is just the start, ensure shipping and after-sales issues are handled accurately!
Reputation is built over time, but can be ruined by just one livestream, instruct the team clearly to avoid any hiccups!"
"Got it! Ensuring no issues, I’ll personally oversee the details!"
Seeing Chen Xiu’s repeated assurance, Zhang Yang felt reassured, the pair chatted for a while more, and Zhang Yang, noticing the late hour, went back to his temporary accommodation to rest.
Zhang Yang left, but the team didn’t have the same privilege.
Chen Xiu recovered some energy after a brief rest, quickly gathered everyone for a post-event review meeting, summarizing all experiences and lessons from this large-scale livestream, working until past 2 AM before dispersing for rest.
The following week, Chen Xiu’s team was engrossed in high-intensity packing and shipping tasks.
The logistics company dispatched large semi-trucks daily to collect parcels, while the warehouse hired temporary workers for three shifts, creating a bustling scene even at night, aiming to ship out all goods in the shortest time.
...
As Chen Xiu successfully concluded her event, other keen hosts on the platform quietly delved into research.
This welfare-giving, product-selling and gaining followers business model is quite innovative, played well, it’s a win-win-win situation. Many were privately exploring execution challenges, gathering related resources.
At this time, Chen Xiu’s welfare-selling event had relatively high thresholds.
Firstly, ordinary small hosts aren’t financially equipped to provide as many products as Chen Xiu’s event.
Secondly, small hosts often operate solo with no mature product selection team or logistical support.
Finally, accounts supported by companies are short-lived, with relatively few followers; establishing a personal brand isn’t an overnight venture, requiring time to build.
With these factors considered, Chen Xiu’s core competitiveness becomes evident.
Under current conditions, unless Zhang Yang uses his flagship account, it might match Chen Xiu’s event’s popularity and effectiveness.
