Chapter 66 Gaining Followers 2
First of all, being born an orphan is a 100% barrier for any streamer.

Although most streamers live alone, they are not really orphans.

They lived like orphans, hiding in a rented room eating junk food, without any relatives or friends, yet they didn't have the background of orphans; they were always under pressure from a disharmonious family.

Those who become live streamers generally cannot expect any help from their families.

The livestreaming industry doesn't have high requirements for academic qualifications or personal qualities.

Viewers drawn in by Tian Ersan will only feel that the platform is full of all sorts of monsters and demons.

Other male and female anchors failed to attract Tian Ersan's fans and were instead reported by female fans.

At this moment, in Tian Ersan's live broadcast room, Tian Ersan was talking to a new fan who had previously bought 500 cans of food.

[Hello Ms. Tian, ​​my daughter scored 515 points on the college entrance exam this year. What major do you think she should apply for?]

Tian Ersan replied: "The cutoff score for first-tier universities is 554, and for second-tier universities it is 471. For liberal arts students, take the civil service exam; for science students, go straight to computer science. My suggestion is to go to Qingdao University of Science and Technology or a computer science program in one of the top-tier cities."

"Firstly, computer science majors have good job prospects. It's 2013 now, and when she graduates in 2017, computer science will be taking off. At that time, she can just write computer science skills on her resume and get job offers from multiple companies."

"Secondly, computer science is a high-tech major, and there are few girls in this major. Most of the boys are honest and straightforward, making it easier for them to find a partner."

"If you're a liberal arts major, no matter what you studied, take the civil service exam and get a permanent position as soon as possible after graduation. Girls shouldn't quit their jobs casually; it's good to have a stable job close to home."

[Ms. Tian, ​​my daughter likes art. She can dance and is also good at drawing. What do you think of studying art?]

Tian Ersan said coldly, "Whether she can become an artist depends on the abilities of her parents or her godparents. Don't think I'm being harsh. Do you think those high-paying, high-benefit jobs are reserved for you? I don't know what level your family is at, but you should know yourself. Don't deceive yourself when choosing a major for your child."

[Our family is relatively well-off, we have two million yuan. If our child is interested in art, my husband and I will support him, hoping he can become a poet like Teacher Tian.]

Tian Ersan said, “Stop thinking about becoming an artist or a poet all day long. I know what level your daughter is from your description. I suggest you use the two million to buy yourself a house, put it in your own name, not your daughter’s name, and don’t use it for your daughter’s art funds.”

"Don't let her go abroad to study, otherwise she'll have a hard time finding a partner when she comes back. I know many men and women who go abroad, and they basically cut off all ties with their parents. They won't come back even when their parents are sick; they'll only come back to inherit the family property after their parents die."

“Even worse, some people report their parents for corruption and bribery after they go abroad because their parents give them too little money.”

"You can also ask the people around you who sent their children abroad, and see if their children care about them beyond just asking for money!"

This person was quickly driven away after being verbally abused; it was probably because Tian Ersan's words were too harsh.

But quite a few people did listen to it.

Tian Ersan spent three days investigating the textile industry and figuring out the admission scores for each major.

Many people don't know what major they should study, and are confusedly recommended by their parents and relatives to majors they will regret for the rest of their lives.

Tian Ersan is essentially a teacher without performance requirements. In order to sell his cheap clothes, he quickly eliminated some low-quality majors and used his skills to retain customers, selling one cheap clothes after another.

From morning to night, the clothing store's business grew to 4412 orders.

The canned food business is also seeing a slight increase.

After finishing her broadcast, Tian Ersan calculated her approximate income for the day.

"4412, 2206, add two zeros, 220,600!"

The computer calculator wasn't working properly, so Tian Ersan leaned back in his chair, pondering the profits and costs inside.

The clothing industry is a high-profit industry; as long as you can sell your clothes, you're guaranteed to make money.

"The cost is five yuan. If it's a family-run garment factory, five yuan a piece isn't high; it's already very low."

"But for large garment factories, with the division of labor on the assembly line, the cost of raw materials, water and electricity, and labor wages can be reduced to four yuan per day for businesses that produce tens of thousands of pieces a day."

"If it costs four yuan, each process costs one mao (0.1 yuan). A skilled worker can complete three to five thousand pieces in eight hours a day. There's no shortage of people, three to five hundred a day." "The cost of four pieces is sixteen yuan. Including packaging, express delivery, and other costs, the cost price per order is twenty yuan. If it can be sold for fifty yuan, that's a profit of one hundred and fifty percent!"

"If advertising and promotion costs are included, then the profit is not so much. Whether it's games or movies, marketing costs are considerable. If we don't count celebrity salaries and promotion costs, making movies and TV series is definitely more profitable, with profits more than double."

"I'm not even calculating my personal profit right now. I can take eight yuan off a can of canned goods that's 15 yuan a piece, and forty yuan off a piece of clothing that's 50 yuan a piece. I reckon there will be people willing to take those orders."

Although it's outrageous, Tao Chunyang's previous performance in the canned food industry made Tian Ersan think that those people in the clothing industry might become the king of scalpers, offering four pieces of clothing for ten yuan with free shipping.

Tian Ersan lacks the ability to maximize profits; it's not his area of ​​expertise.

It was only through my interactions with a few people in the express delivery and canned food industries that I realized the probability of the manufacturing industry producing top-scoring candidates was much higher than that of the computer industry.

The computer industry can produce people who are overworked, exhausted, or die suddenly, and that makes the news. But the number of people who die from overwork, sudden death, or even jump off buildings every year in the national manufacturing industry is nothing compared to that.

Tian Ersan believes the theoretical limit is to make a profit of 40 yuan out of 50 yuan, without doing anything like production, packaging, shipping, or storage.

However, they still get their goods from the garment workshops for five yuan each, and they also have to bear the shipping costs themselves.

If you include all the odds and ends, a single order of clothes would definitely cost twenty yuan.

"Thirty is not a small number."

Tian Ersan didn't think about maximizing profits, and he wasn't short of money at the moment. As long as everyone could make a profit on a 30-yuan deal, that was fine.

Even after the live stream ended, clothing orders continued to rise significantly.

Four summer clothes costing fifty yuan each are really cheap for consumers.

A piece of clothing costing just over ten yuan, even after the purchase price, is very attractive to families in the middle and lower income brackets.

Furthermore, after Tian Ersan's deeds were reported by the media, many people learned about Tian Ersan and placed one or two orders out of goodwill.

The big bosses and factory managers in the garment industry are well aware of the profits, and they can judge Tian Ersan's profit margin at a glance.

But it cannot be imitated.

Reputable large companies wouldn't make clothes that cost only a dozen or so yuan, otherwise the brand's price would drop.

Although I envy the huge profits involved, I just can't seem to get it done.

Even if you hire a superstar to promote clothes that cost just over ten yuan, you still can't compete with someone like Tian Ersan.

Many people spend money with the mindset of making a donation, and even if the price is lower, they still need to spend a huge amount of advertising fees to achieve sales volume.

However, poor people rarely go online. Those who go online specifically to shop are usually placing orders with the intention of making a donation, and they don't care about the small difference in price.

Small workshops that manufacture the same clothes cannot lower prices if they cannot sell them; the biggest challenge is still selling them.

Opening an online store requires paying for advertising to gain exposure and appear in the eyes of customers; this kind of investment can be a major obstacle for many people.

Just like canned food manufacturers, what matters is not the readily available products, but the distribution channels.

Tian Ersan is more impressive than movie stars in advertising and sales, making him the top livestreamer of this era!
Even if you bring together several top actors and actresses to promote a single product, they still can't compete with Tian Ersan, who possesses multiple attributes.

Even among housewives overflowing with maternal love, Tian Ersan is a truly exceptional individual.

Even if the price next door is two or three yuan cheaper, it can't steal his customers.

Even if it's ten yuan cheaper, it still can't stop a large number of customers from choosing Tian Er San's small shop.

With her advice on college application choices, Tian Ersan quickly became famous again among universities and parents, gaining a huge number of "mommy fans".
