YM778.TV Chapter 583 - 583 Three Rebellious Kids
There are actually two reasons why I’m doing this live stream tonight. One is to chat with you all and build a closer relationship.
The other, well, is to make money off you guys.”
As soon as these words came out, many viewers in the live stream started laughing and leaving comments.
“I’ve never seen someone so sincere.”
“That’s what I like about him, he says what he thinks. He’s so much better than those hypocrites who say one thing to your face and another behind your back.”
“Exactly, exactly. If you’re going to do business, do it openly and honestly, not like some people who play both sides.”
“The person above, go on, who are these some people?”
…
When doing business, the most important thing is honesty, it’s all about mutual will.
Of course, Jiang Xu would use all kinds of tricks.
But he knew well that sincerity is the ultimate move, the key to long-term success.
Just like some enterprises in later generations, such as Vivid Confectionery, Great Dragon Biscuits, and Blasting Star Snacks.
These companies all gained the support of a vast number of netizens and grew bigger and bigger because of their sincerity.
Even before he started selling anything, the viewers already felt Jiang Xu’s sincerity.
Many people already felt the desire to purchase.
Lifuzhen was also watching the live stream.
She had guessed that Jiang Xu was going to sell smartphones.
By comparison, Lifuzhen couldn’t help but smirk: “Jiang Xu, oh Jiang Xu, you think it’s way too simple, it’s not going to be successful.”
In her view, smartphones can cost several hundred or even one or two thousand, and in some cases, five or six thousand.
For many people, that’s a significant expenditure, not something they can buy on a whim like clothes or buns.
Even though there are millions of people in the live stream now, Lifuzhen didn’t believe Jiang Xu would sell much.
For Jiang Xu to sell fifty thousand units would require divine intervention.
Zhou Qingyue was also watching the live stream.
After the last incident, she had moved to an upscale villa area in Hua City.
She rarely went out and basically stayed at home for most of her activities.
She would practice singing, post on Weibo, and interact with her fans when she had free time.
Upon learning that Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were going to live stream tonight, she put aside what she was doing and sat down in front of her computer early.
Watching the two sing love songs together, livestream together, and the occasional glance that sparked an endless flame of love, Zhou Qingyue felt heartache, admiration, and a tinge of jealousy.
As she watched, Zhou Qingyue couldn’t help but start to…
Far away in Bear Country, Jiang Xiaoyan, where it was currently morning.
She too had put aside her work to watch the live stream of her beloved.
Even though watching the two of them casually show their affection made Jiang Xiaoyan frustrated,
She just couldn’t stop herself from watching.
And as she watched, she also couldn’t help but do something similar to what Zhou Qingyue did…
In this regard, the two women were of one mind.
…
At the Mei Family.
Brothers Mei Jibo and Mei Youdiao, as well as younger members like Mei Jiji, were also watching the live stream.
They had no choice, the event was too big to ignore even if they wanted to.
They also had to do this, to show their stance to the people behind them.
Mei Jiji sneered, “This Jiang Xu does have quite the following, but in my opinion, it’s all just pandering.
As a tycoon worth tens of billions, maintaining a sense of mystery is most crucial.
In my view, someone who exposes themselves in the public eye all the time, without any benefit to the company, is just a fool.”
The other younger relatives also echoed in agreement.
“Exactly, our opponents are such easy targets.”
“I’d say there’s no need for Uncle or Dad to get involved; I can take him out myself in seconds.”
…
In the whole Mei Family, only Mei Jibo, Mei Youdiao, and Mei Jiji were rebels.
The rest of the family members had no idea.
Such a dangerous affair, the fewer people who knew, the better.
If there were a traitor in the family or someone without brains, the entire clan could face destruction.
…
After an hour of buildup and with countless people watching the live stream, Jiang Xu was finally ready to start selling.
He took out a budget mobile phone and said to the screen, “Let’s talk about the cost of this phone first.
We won’t mention the development costs, just the material cost alone is four hundred and twenty yuan.
The selling price is six hundred and ninety-eight.
At that price, our net profit per phone is merely twelve yuan.”
Jiang Xu wasn’t lying about that.
Indeed, the net profit from the hardware of this kind of budget phone was only about ten yuan per unit sold.
However, these phones generally come with ten to twenty pre-installed applications.
Each app charges between one and a half to three yuan.
All told, the profit from the software on a budget phone is around forty yuan.
Jiang Xu continued, “Although it’s a budget phone, it still has the necessary features.
Big battery, large screen, the camera pixels are also quite decent.
So, what price shall we sell it for in this live stream today?”
He paused, garnering everyone’s attention before adding, “Tonight, in this live stream, this phone… will still be sold for 698!”
The moment he said this, everyone was greatly disappointed.
I mean, there’s no discount at all, no attraction whatsoever, how can you seriously offer this price!
Far away at Sansang Headquarters, Lifuzhen, saw this and the last bit of worry in her heart vanished like smoke.
“Just as I guessed, you can’t afford to engage in a price war. It seems you won’t be able to meet the sales forecast from earlier.”
Thinking this, she shifted her position, crossed her legs in an arrogantly triumphant posture, and looked down on Jiang Xu.
It was like watching a monkey perform.
…
Many in the live stream started posting comments like [No sincerity].
Without any discounts, why should I buy this phone?
A Sansang phone with equivalent features is now just over five hundred.
Wouldn’t I rather save those two to three hundred yuan to spend on snacks or internet?
Although they really liked Jiang Xu, when it came to money
and for many ordinary people, it wasn’t a small sum,
unless they were die-hard fans or blindly loyal, most people wouldn’t be willing to foot the bill.
This reaction from the audience was within Jiang Xu’s expectations, so his expression remained unchanged.
Jiang Xu continued, “Everyone, hold on, I haven’t finished speaking yet.
Any customer who buys this phone will get the LOL hero Alistar’s ‘Dark Soul’ skin for free,
worth 45 yuan, the ‘Storm’ skin of the Origin plan, valued at 69 yuan,
the Ancient War God ‘Rek’Sai’ skin, worth 129 yuan,
the Plundering Star Demonic Blade ‘Kassadin’ skin, valued at 35 yuan,
the Green Fairyland ‘Veigar’ skin, worth 23 yuan,
and the Star Wars ‘Yi’ skin, also valued at 23 yuan!”
“Boom!”
As soon as Jiang Xu finished speaking, the entire live stream erupted!
