Star Tycoon

Chapter 21: Bringing Goods
Tian Ersan quickly resumed live streaming to make money.

"That concludes today's live stream. Thank you for watching, everyone! If you have a fever, a cold, or are feeling down, please order some canned yellow peaches from my Laibao store! Only 3.5 yuan per can, free shipping on four cans! Free shipping to Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! Dear customer~"

Soon someone in the live stream asked a question.

How can it be so cheap? Can you even make a profit on 3.5 yuan?

Tian Ersan likes to answer this kind of question, and he ignored the questions from other fans to answer this one.

"Canned goods in supermarkets cost five or six yuan, or even seven yuan, because there are middlemen involved."

"For example, supermarkets have suppliers, but suppliers don't work for free; they have to make a little profit, right?"

"Suppliers also need to deal with purchasing, and purchasing also needs to make some profit."

"Suppliers get their goods from the wholesale market, and they definitely need to make a profit at that level as well."

"There are more than two or three processes between the manufacturers and consumers, so the price goes up with each step. You probably don't know that farmers only need to pay a few cents per kilogram for a pound of yellow peaches!"

"Now the manufacturer finishes the product and gives it to me, then I sell it to you on my online store for 3.5 yuan. I make money, the manufacturer makes money, the farmers make money, and you save money!"

"Three yuan and fifty cents a bottle! Absolutely fair and honest!"

"You can also eat sunflower seeds while watching the live stream. Look at the sunflower seeds I've collected, they're all good quality, loose sunflower seeds, farm-grown sunflower seeds, four yuan per pound, free shipping for five pounds!"

After Tian Ersan finished her live stream, she checked her Laibao store and saw that she had already received her first order.

User's note: No need to ship, positive review already given.

Looking at the information of the most recent order, Tian Ersan knew that this tycoon had chosen to give the tip money to the store to order goods but did not need to receive them.

The number of orders is still rising, but it's only during the period after the live stream ends that there are more.

When there's no live stream, many people forget about this.

Tian Ersan quickly posted the recording of today's live stream on a food website, and also worked overnight to create a two-dimensional edited video, in which he included his online store address.

The more times a video is played and the longer the ad is, the more likely it is to slightly boost the store's sales.

To enhance the advertising effect, Tian Ersan began editing and producing high-quality videos.

I felt a little sleepy when I was busy until midnight.

Tian Ersan glanced around and saw that Wang Linlin and Zhang Shuya were already asleep.

Both of them made a lot of money from their live streams. Because of their good looks, and with the help of some sales techniques taught by Tian Ersan, they earned several hundred yuan in one night.

Unfortunately, withdrawals are not available at the moment.

Tian Ersan went outside the stairwell and urinated into the low-rise building on the side. After feeling better, he went back to his room to sleep.

When Tian Ersan got up in the morning, he found that Wang Linlin was still sleeping, but Zhang Shuya had already woken up.

Zhang Shuya was not only awake, but she was also giving Tian Ersan a morning massage.

As Tian Ersan leaned against the headboard, about to say something, he suddenly thought of something.

"Did you brush your teeth?"

Zhang Shuya blushed instantly, "I just got up and haven't brushed my teeth yet."

After speaking, Zhang Shuya covered her mouth with her hand and quickly got up, feeling embarrassed. "I'm going to brush my teeth."

Tian Ersan breathed on his hand to warm it, and realized he didn't have bad breath.

Suddenly I remembered that I didn't wash my hands after peeing yesterday... Oh well.

Tian Ersan quickly forgot about the unpleasant incident, took his phone from the bedside table, stretched his leg out and placed it on Wang Linlin's buttocks, and started looking at his phone while lying down.

The number of orders has exceeded one hundred.

Order four cans of food per order, otherwise the shipping cost won't even cover it.

Sunflower seeds are 3.5 yuan per jin (500g), minimum order is 5 jin (2.5kg), more is acceptable but less is not.

A single order of canned goods yields a fixed income of 14 yuan, while sunflower seeds typically cost 20 yuan per order of five jin (2.5 kg).

Sunflower seed sales are low because there are too many bundled products.

Most canned goods are sold in single orders; orders without delivery requirements are almost nonexistent.

Looking at his income of nearly two thousand yuan, Tian Ersan knew that today was a good day. If his popularity didn't improve, it would drop to a very low value later.

Wang Linlin woke up quickly, turned over and saw Tian Ersan with his feet under her buttocks. She quickly used her arms to support herself and crawled to lie down next to Tian Ersan. "Brother Tian...you got up so early."

Tian Ersan said with a smile, "Get up early to see how much money you made yesterday. Look, these are the orders from Laibao Store."

Wang Linlin leaned against Tian Ersan, looking at the orders on her phone. Tian Ersan reached out and hugged the girl he had slept with for several days, and his right hand began to wander.

Wang Linlin liked this intimate gesture, but her attention was focused on her phone at the moment.

"Brother Tian, ​​is running a shop this profitable? You make over a thousand in just one night."

Tian Ersan put down his phone, put his arms around the eighteen-year-old girl, and explained business matters.

"It's like tipping. It's not something I do every day. These orders are from people in the live stream who support me. They won't buy again after they buy these, so it's a one-time business."

Wang Linlin looked up at Tian Ersan, nestled into his arms, and said comfortably, "So, there won't be any business left?"

"Yes." Tian Ersan reached into Wang Linlin's pajamas. "We just need to retain customers with sincerity and quality. We'll call the courier to ship the goods later. Pack each one well, and when weighing the sunflower seeds, give them more than they need. Pick out any bad sunflower seeds in time."

"You two can do this. I'm busy with the shop's business today."

Wang Linlin quickly replied, "Okay!"

The two had only been talking for a short while when Zhang Shuya came in.

Seeing Wang Linlin and Tian Ersan still being intimate in bed, Zhang Shuya smiled and said, "Linlin, get up and brush your teeth."

Wang Linlin stood up shyly, wearing slippers, and said, "Okay."

Tian Ersan stretched and quickly got up to get to work.

The first thing is to move the computer downstairs again.

Zhang Shuya and Wang Linlin helped carry the power strip, mouse, and keyboard. After going downstairs, Zhang Shuya went to the kitchen to cook, while Wang Linlin went upstairs to tidy up the house.

I bought vegetables and meat yesterday, and also a used freezer. I can cook normally today.

The kitchen was an old wood-fired kitchen, but fortunately there was plenty of wood and corn stalks inside, so it could be used for a while.

Business started coming in shortly after Tian Ersan opened his shop.

"Boss, top up my phone credit."

"One yuan handling fee."

"middle!"

"Pay first."

"You recharge first."

"Pay first, my shop is here, I can't run away."

"I'm here, I can't run away."

"You top up my account first, and I'll give you the money later."

"No credit! If you're not willing to pay first, then forget it."

"Okay! You're not lying to me!"

"First, confirm your grandson's phone number. I'll top up whichever number you give me. If I top up the wrong number, that's your problem."

"How is it my problem if you transferred the wrong amount?"

"Fine, I won't top up. I'm not making money off that one dollar!"

"I'm not topping up!! What a lousy store! I'm never coming here again!"

The old man cursed and left.

Tian Ersan quickly wiped the phone credit off the sign.

I've deleted the downloaded songs and movies too. Earning money this way is too much trouble. It's much better to just sit in the live stream and quietly say, "Thank you, sister."
Tian Ersan quickly checked the daily necessities in the store, such as salt and soy sauce, and discarded any that were expired.

I won't use anything that hasn't expired; I don't trust these off-brand products.

I won't do any business that involves dealing with troublesome people.

In small towns, it's common to buy cigarettes or alcohol on credit today or tomorrow. Tian Ersan only needs one store to receive and send packages; he doesn't need to manage such a complicated business.

Tian Ersan checked the online store's business again. Because he had just released a previously created edited video, he received dozens more orders while the momentum was still going strong.
