Chapter 46 Another Twenty Tons!
"It's too hot at noon, I can bear it, but the machine can't! The computer is getting unbearably hot. It'll be cooler in the afternoon, so I'll go live again at four o'clock."

Tian Ersan said something, then left the store's URL on his personal homepage and in the live stream introduction before getting off the machine and moving it into an air-conditioned room to cool it down.

After the machine arrived in the room, Tian Ersan sat on the bed, half-lying down.

"I'm exhausted! Xiaoya, please wash my feet."

"Okay!" Zhang Shuya knew that Tian Ersan had worked very hard today, so she quickly went downstairs to fetch water.

Wang Linlin sat to the side and handed Tian Ersan a towel to wipe his face.

"Boss, we've already received five thousand orders. If we get any more this afternoon, we definitely won't have enough canned goods."

Zhou Shanshan exclaimed excitedly, "Five thousand orders! That's one yuan per order, that's five thousand yuan a day!"

Wang Linlin sat next to Tian Ersan, also wearing a happy smile.

"Many people placed multiple orders, and one person even placed a hundred orders. How can he possibly finish all of that by himself?"

Zhou Shanshan didn't care about that. "Who cares how they eat it! As long as it sells! I'm exhausted today, I can't handle it even with two more hands. Boss, shall we hire a few more people?"

Looking at the order information, Tian Ersan noticed that many people had placed four or five orders at once.

It's not even noon yet, and there are already over six thousand unshipped orders. There's a good chance there will be another one or two thousand more this afternoon, and that's an understatement.

"Let's recruit people in the group. Shanshan, please tell the girls in the group that it's 60 yuan per person per day, from 8 am to 5 pm, paid daily, and lunch is provided."

Zhou Shanshan picked up her phone and muttered, "It's been almost a month since graduation. She should have gone out to work by now."

Tian Ersan asked curiously, "Weren't the scores just released a few days ago?"

"Huh?" Zhou Shanshan was puzzled for a moment, then quickly became embarrassed. "I didn't even care what score I got, it's all the same anyway. I'll just ask in the group."

For struggling students, it doesn't matter whether they get a score or not; it's all the same anyway.

Sixty a day is already quite a lot, especially since it's summer vacation now, and many girls who are short of money have nothing to do at home.

They quickly recruited three girls and five rural women.

When it comes to chores, rural women are faster.

Eight people are paid 480 yuan a day. If the profit per can is 7 yuan, at least 70 more cans need to be sold to cover their wages.

The women were all from the neighborhood, and soon they also sent their sons and daughters to help with the work. By the time the broadcast started in the afternoon, there were twenty or thirty people in front of the door.

Tian Ersan frowned. "Go inside and work. Don't get near the computer or look here when I'm working on it, or you won't be working here at all."

"The children all go inside the house and to the courier station to help out. Child labor is not allowed; if it's discovered, you'll be fined."

To improve the live stream, Tian Ersan quickly moved the young women and children more than ten meters away, leaving only a few elderly women to pack the canned goods. He also did the moving himself, leaving only a few people in the house to help organize the canned goods.

The foam factory kept delivering goods by truck, and the courier station quickly called in more available couriers to help with printing. Even Wang Linlin came downstairs to help fill out the thank-you letters.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to be afraid of those people anymore.

At least I no longer need to hide in the building all day and be afraid to go out.

After working from 4 PM to 7 PM, Tian Ersan quickly sat down in his chair, too tired to move.

"I'm done streaming. I'm too tired to say anything more today. I'll go have a meal, wash up, and go to sleep after this stream."

Just as Tian Ersan was about to end the broadcast, the fans in the live stream became unhappy.

【Fill it in after you finish eating!】

How much is the meal? I'll pay for it!

What does the host want to eat tonight?

Let's take a look. We've been watching all day. Let's finish watching before we eat.

[I want to see the streamer eat. You're so tired, what will you eat for dinner to make up for it?]

Tian Ersan originally wanted to end the broadcast immediately and go to his air-conditioned room to sleep, but he was indeed hungry, and then he heard his fans say this.

"Let's finish eating before we cook. Let's have something good to eat tonight. Let me think about what we want."

Tian Ersan quickly picked up the phone. "Hey, Boss Niu, send me three bowls of fried chicken soup, five catties of beef, four servings of cucumber cold noodles, one hundred steamed buns, and one hundred yuan worth of side dishes."

Niu Jian readily agreed, and although he stopped sending canned food and melon seeds to Tian Ersan, he frequently delivered meals to him.

Can you finish this all by yourself?

Too many.

Don't waste it.

"Why don't you want beer?" Tian Ersan explained, "I'm not eating alone; I share with others too. I have beer at home."

The people helping with the work are still working; they'll definitely be working the night shift to deliver packages today, but they're only eating boxed lunches.

The courier station brought in a lot of people to help, and couriers from eight nearby online stores came to earn overtime pay.

Tian Ersan quickly moved the computer into the house, showing everyone the rural cottage that wasn't much better than the one outside.

After turning on the lights, you can see old walls, a large pile of cans, various beverage bottles, and shelves displaying sunflower seeds.

The refrigerator in the house is also an old one.

Tian Ersan randomly picked out a can of food.

"Let's fill our stomachs first." Tian Ersan demonstrated eating a can of yellow peaches on the spot, chatting as he ate.

Zhou Shanshan and Wang Linlin sat inside the house, afraid to go in and disturb Tian Ersan's live stream, so they worked at the door while waiting for him.

There were fifty or sixty people working in front of the door. Wang Linlin wasn't afraid of those bad people and was packing canned food with Zhou Shanshan at the door.

The foam factory was also working overtime to deliver boxes continuously.

Nearly an hour later, Niu Jian finally delivered the items.

Zhou Shanshan paid the bill and reminded him, "Don't talk, the boss is working. Just put the things on the table."

Niu Jian said generously, "Okay! This soup is hot, you can't carry it, I'll do it."

Niu Jian quickly placed the soup bowl on the table, then looked at it with a smile but couldn't see anything wrong before leaving.

Tian Ersan realized that the audience liked watching him eat, so he brought over a big bowl of chicken soup, ate a big bowl of chicken soup in front of the camera, then ate a few steamed buns and cold dishes, and finally a bottle of beer.

After finally being able to shut down the computer, Tian Ersan never realized he could eat so much.

"Is this what an eighteen-year-old's body is like... When I was eighteen, I was busy studying and didn't get enough exercise. I was also trying to save money by eating and eating less to buy reference books. I never imagined that I would be so strong when I was young."

After closing the door, Tian Ersan lay half-reclined on the second floor to digest his food, while Zhou Shanshan and the others focused on eating.

The delivery and shipping work is now being handled by the courier station and temporary workers.

By 10 p.m., the total number of orders had reached 10,000!

It was almost all canned food; sunflower seeds only cost a little over a hundred yuan.

Tian Ersan took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello, Mr. Tao."

Tao Chunyang was entertaining clients at a karaoke bar when he heard this and said with a smile, "Mr. Tian, ​​is there anything I can help you with?"

Tian Ersan said, "The canned goods are sold out. Order another twenty tons."

Tao Chunyang felt it was a bit noisy around him, so he quickly got up and left the private room.

"Didn't they just deliver fifteen tons? How could you have sold them all?"

Tao Chunyang didn't believe it. It couldn't be that fast. Fifteen tons were just delivered yesterday, and they were sold out in one day?
Tian Ersan said lazily, "Give me another twenty tons, cash on delivery. If you don't have the goods, I'll find someone else."

"Yes!" Tao Chunyang said quickly, "But Mr. Tian, ​​what if you can't sell all that stock? I'm doing this for your sake."

Tian Ersan said with a smile, "I sold more than 10,000 orders of canned goods today, 40,000 bottles, and we are currently facing a severe shortage."

"How can they sell so many?" Tao Chunyang wanted to laugh, but found it absurd.

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "I know Boss Tao doesn't believe me, and I'm too lazy to explain. If you don't deliver it tomorrow, I'll find someone else. Business matters can't be delayed, so I hope Boss Tao understands."

"No!" Tao Chunyang quickly calmed down. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I didn't expect Boss Tian to be so capable. I'll have someone load and ship the goods first thing tomorrow morning!"

Tian Ersan said directly, "We'll load it tonight! If I'm slow in shipping, it will affect my reputation. If twenty tons of goods aren't worth Boss Tao working overtime to get them delivered a night early, then it just means Boss Tao isn't sincere!"

Tao Chunyang asked, "Is it still cash on delivery?"

"Yes." Tian Ersan added, "I don't have much money on hand, but I will at least pay half of it. If you don't believe me, Mr. Tao, you can take a look at my shop and you'll see."

"Okay! I'll have the workers load the goods tonight," Tao Chunyang agreed first.

After agreeing, Tao Chunyang found the laptop he had brought with him when he came out to discuss the cooperation. After logging into the online store, he discovered its incredible sales volume and popularity.

Because of its immense popularity, which brought in many new users, the website still gave it a featured spot even though no one had purchased one.

"Damn it! Our company also opened an online store, so how come he's making so much money?"

Tao Chunyang couldn't figure it out and wondered if he should also become a live streamer to promote his own canned goods.
