Chapter 262: 262. First time bringing goods_1 Chapter 262: 262. First time bringing goods_1 Flat Peach Live Streaming Platform.
The morning always had a relaxed vibe on the live streaming platform, especially in the Tian Yuan category.
Unlike others, this section was always laid-back, without any life-or-death KPIs–after all, there weren’t many hosts capable of driving significant sales.
In the midst of this leisurely atmosphere, a continuous stream of alert tones from the management backend abruptly woke up the person in charge, who had been on the verge of dozing off!
Holy shit!!!! How come there are so many transactions?
Are these fake orders?! Even fake orders incur a commission fee!
They perked up and immediately opened the backend data:
[Tian Yuan Journal]Livestream Room
42 days since the beginning of the stream
Follower count: 5352 (Regular members 1514, VIP members 3022, Supreme members 816)
Total gift revenue: 2714 yuan.
“Huh?” The person in charge was a bit surprised: “Not bad, these are all real figures, and engagement is high.”
And to achieve these numbers after only a few streams proves it’s really sticky!
However, looking at the details of the gift revenue, they noticed that the host had signed a standard contract–no minimum streaming hours required, with a 50/50 split on donations.
The person in charge furrowed their brows.
Just like other livestreaming rooms, Flat Peach Live Streaming required a contract to withdraw gift income.
And there were several levels of contracts, with a typical host guaranteeing a minimum number of hours to get a 60/40 or even a higher 70/30 split on gift revenue.
However, some people just stream for fun, so a standard contract was normal.
So why the constant backend notifications–
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!
[First sales promotion: Promotional channel Peach Treasure]
[Total Transaction Value: 119700]
(*First-time promotion is exempt from technical service fees)
Person in charge: !!!
5300 followers, and over four thousand active accounts have completed real transactions??? And they didn’t take any commission?!
Normally, linking to Peach Treasure takes an 8% cut! Deducting the shipping fee, the commission would be almost 7000.
Still, having such transaction volume from the first broadcast meant that future losses would be minimized, and this thought somewhat comforted their wounded heart.
But they were very curious, what was being sold that made so many people buy? Were they selling Flat Peaches or Immortal Pills?
The person in charge’s eyes widened as they followed the link, only to find no image or detailed description; the entire store had only one single item:
[Tea Sample: 1g. Limited time sale, no returns or exchanges, each ID limited to one purchase.]
So, what, twenty yuan for a gram of tea? And so many people bought it without free shipping? Is there some kind of spell on it? And what’s with this half-hearted sales page?
Thinking this, they clicked on the replay, and also casually placed an order for one–only 30 yuan, no big loss!
It turned out they were lucky; just as they completed the payment, the whole page went gray–the seller apparently had money to burn and simply delisted the item.
Meanwhile, in Song Tan’s yard.
Wu Lei managed to utter a greeting, then hopped on his motorcycle with the weeping Zhu Li and left without even sticking around for a bite of lunch.
Looking at the departing motorcycle, Wu Lan felt somewhat uneasy:
“What happened? Why are you crying after going up the mountain?”
After all, she’s Wu Lei’s girlfriend. How bad it is to be neglected at his own home!
Song Tan blinked her eyes, “It’s nothing–Mom, how much sales did you just mention?”
Without waiting for Wu Lan to respond, Zhang Yanping was already excitedly reporting the data: “119,700!”
The reason for this number is because the shipping fee is set differently by region, with varying rates.
Zhang Yanping still felt a bit embarrassed, “I calculated it based on our current shipping fee and even left room for the livestreaming platform’s cut.”
“As a result, the livestreaming platform had a promotion. First-time streamer, no commission fee.”
As for the shipping fee–
Song Tan was already grinning as she started to help Brother Xiaozhang issue invoices: “Brother Xiaozhang, about our price…”
Brother Xiaozhang is a straightforward guy, and seeing Song Tan’s potential, he readily agreed: “I’ll apply with the company when I get back. We’ll base it on an average of 500 parcels a day and charge four yuan per package nationwide! Oh, remote areas will be charged extra!”
After giving it some thought, he added, “Cold shipping will be extra, too!”
Extra just means adding one or two more yuan, something Song Tan could easily afford. At that moment, she only felt pleasantly surprised, “Brother Xiaozhang, you’re so straightforward! Don’t worry, the shipping orders will only increase from now on!”
But there was no need to wait for later.
Brother Xiaozhang looked at the handheld invoice machine in his hand, feeling half ecstatic and half melancholic:
“If only you had told me you were going to sell products today! I would have installed the printer right at your home! Now look at this, more than four thousand orders, how long is this going to take me!”
He couldn’t sit still anymore, looking at the 185 orders that had been busily packed up earlier, he took all the express parcels:
“I can’t wait anymore. I’ll deliver these to the city first, then come back with enough express pouches, and bring a printer while I’m at it. I’ll set it all up so that any new orders can be printed straight away.”
My goodness, over four thousand express pouches–he hadn’t gathered 40 in total since Wind Speed Express opened! Once the printer is installed, this big client will surely stay!
No other delivery service could compete with seizing the first-mover advantage, haha!
With this thought, he drove the little delivery truck even more joyfully.
Meanwhile, Song Tan calculated her income and realized she had made a net profit of a hundred thousand. She couldn’t help but feel joyous. She had expected livestreaming sales to be profitable, but not this profitable!
She rubbed Qiaoqiao’s cheeks and cooed:
“Darling! You’ve been a huge help to our family!”
Although she had initially planned on using livestreams to sell goods, she never expected it to happen so fast, nor that it would be Qiaoqiao who set it in motion unintentionally.
This time, fortune is with me!
“I’m going to reward you–with an Ultraman!”
She had seen one online, a meter-tall battery-operated Seiro Ultraman for 188 yuan.
It wasn’t particularly expensive, but a child’s happiness only needs one.
However, Song Tan decided to give an additional 3,000 yuan as a bonus. Wu Lan had a bank card set up for Qiaoqiao, where a daily wage of fifty yuan was saved–it would go in there too.
All this talk about not having enough to spend was merely to entice him to work more.
Qiaoqiao, with a blank expression, just knew he would be getting an Ultraman, and everyone seemed happy, so he also giggled happily.
Song Tan turned to Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun, who were handling both tech and customer service: “Bonuses–for each of you, either half a pound of tea or 3,888 yuan, your choice!”
It was their first time selling goods after all, a good start.
Zhang Yanping was okay with it, just seeing it as a pleasant surprise.
He just worried: “This tea is for my parents. What will I do if they only want this kind from now on!”
His bit of savings wasn’t even enough for his own spending, let alone for this.
But for Xin Jun, he recalled escaping his life as a laborer more than half a month ago. Now, he finally had something to show his mother!
He quickly made his choice: “I’ll take the half pound of tea, send it by express!”
Being around here himself, he actually drank the picked-out leaves or tea dust along with Song Tan’s family, so he didn’t need to keep any for himself.
