Song Tan's Notes

The buyer was stunned.

Especially since there were two colleagues beside him watching him intently, their ears perked up.

He immediately pulled out his phone: "My dear niece, what do you mean by this?"

Then she got really angry: "What misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? I was sitting right there at the village entrance, watching him raise the price and sell those grapes!"

"And what about your uncle? Oh, my time isn't time either. I've been waiting here for nothing for days!"

My niece is still young and doesn't understand the ruthlessness and mercilessness of business warfare!

As their uncle, he should play the victim a lot to let them know that making money isn't so easy.

This behavior of a major streamer stealing the deal is outrageous!

However, on the other end of the phone, the niece was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter softly:

"If that's the case, then my brother is very career-driven and has excellent professional skills..."

Sigh, she's never been a fan of an online celebrity before, she lacks experience and doesn't know that her brother doesn't need fans to promote his products.

These fans usually have to work on data analysis, lead the charge, and raise funds to boost sales.

How come my brother has become so successful in his career without doing anything here?
And isn't this business a bit too successful? These grapes can sell for tens of yuan per kilogram!
My niece was both proud and conflicted. She felt she had a keen eye for talent and a sense of redemption from the thought of meeting someone from humble beginnings.

Buyer: ...

What does that mean? He doesn't quite understand!

After thinking for a moment, the buyer said to his niece again:
“I’ve given you all the money. Go find a professional team! The economy is tough right now, and it’s not easy to make money. I can’t let people bully me like this. Remember to write lots of bad reviews so his stuff won’t sell. Otherwise, anyone can come and kick him while he’s down.”

My niece's face was practically contorted with worry on the other end of the phone.

Thinking about the money I received, and the milk tea red envelopes I promised to give to the group of sisters, I was also wavering between liking and money, just giving perfunctory "uh-huhs" and "yeahs".

In the end, I went back to the group chat.

The group chat was still buzzing with activity, with many people tagging her:
"Group owner, have you gotten the facts straight? Qiaoqiao's career is doing so well, it must be a misunderstanding with our uncle, right?"

"Yes, I could tell just by looking at him that he wouldn't do those things."

My niece cried out in distress, "Sisters, I've confirmed it, it really happened."

In short, she gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone, please lend a hand and say a few words if you should!"

That being said, when you open the live stream, in an AI-like lush green orchard, Qiaoqiao sits there wearing a clean white short-sleeved shirt, her pupils are dark and bright, and she looks pure and well-behaved.

Moreover, she doesn't appear weak at all, nor does she have a waist thinner than a girl's.

There isn't one like this in the Chinese entertainment industry!

Stomping my feet! Frustrated!
Grape, by all accounts, couldn't possibly be his fault!

There's nothing left for Qiao Qiao to broadcast.

At that moment, he propped his chin up with one hand and carried bunches of grapes of various sizes in the other, showing them to everyone while sighing and reflecting:
"I'll know tomorrow. I'll eat it when I sell it tomorrow. I won't eat it today."

have a look!have a look!
Qiao Bao! How can Bao be so cute?!
Although he looks like the older brother, his personality is just like that of a sunny younger brother. How could he possibly be wrong?

Also, the group admin said to find weaknesses and use sophisticated satire—how to do that?
Are you criticizing this grape, or JoJo?

If they criticize them, doesn't it make their streamer Qiaoqiao seem like she's bad at choosing products?
Everyone reported their findings in the group chat, but at the end they hesitated and stammered:
"Hey group admin, didn't you say you were going to do some subtle satire? We can't just say the stuff is bad directly, so I've decided to watch two more live stream replays."

"Yes, that's what I think too. The more you see, the more you can find the pain points."

"Exactly! You have to register to watch his live stream replay. I'll go register first."

"Hey ladies, it looks like he's going to put that 9.9 yuan special on it. Since we're going to start cursing, should we place an order first and then use the order to curse on other platforms later?"

"Great idea! We can definitely support sales at 9.9 yuan!"

As if they had found a reason, everyone rushed back to the live stream room.

However, upon closer inspection: "Didn't you say it was going to be uploaded? Where's the link? Why is there only one link left that's been taken down?"

While watching the live chat, the screen was filled with comments saying "I didn't see it."

Fangirls: ...

They don't believe it!

They couldn't believe that internet celebrities could eat so well! Their idols even got endorsements only because they had to boost their rankings, manipulate data, and buy sales!

How could this be? !
Unaware of this, Qiao Qiao turned to look at Song Tan:

"Sister, Zhuangzhuang's grapes are all sold out. What should we do now?"

The broadcast starts at 5 o'clock, and it's not even 6 o'clock yet; the sun hasn't even set.

Song Tan looked at the spreadsheet Yan Ran had sent: "Tell the fans that we're going to move to a different orchard."

Qiaoqiao then happily waved to the live stream audience:

"Thank you, kids. Zhuangzhuang's grapes are all sold out. The workers are packing and shipping them out now. We're off to the next store!"

"Sister, who's next?"

Song Tan confirmed again: "It's the home of a young man named Da Liang. His orchard covers more than 20 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares) and is next to the Party Secretary's house, about 300 meters away from here. It's just right for them to plant their orchards together."

Baiyu County has more than 600 mu of grapes, and Tao Zhuangzhuang alone owns one-sixth of them. The remaining orchards that are too small don't need separate listings.

If you calculate it that way, it might finish airing tonight.

The only question is, are there any lights in the orchard at night?

The two were discussing things, while the fans in the live stream had long been used to being forgotten by the streamer.

On the contrary, the new, younger fans who met her for the first time found Qiao Qiao refreshing and unpretentious, and even felt that—

He's so well-behaved.

Yes, he calls her "sister"! He's so obedient.

Oh my god, Qiao Bao! So cute!

In other words, no one says they can't be fans of a streamer, right?

This streamer isn't even letting them spend money to boost sales. Right now, none of the products they're promoting are selling well. It's outrageous!
[But seriously, I've been watching the live stream the whole time, this stuff sold out way too fast!]

Me too! He said he'd put up a link for the 9.9 yuan deal, but it disappeared after I refreshed the page.

I checked, 5000 orders. Are there really that many people vying for them?

I wanted to take a screenshot to share, but the page I captured was grayed out.

Others were itching to make a move:

[This stuff is so expensive, and so many people are scrambling for it, it can't be really that good, right? I want to try it too.] [I think it's worth a try. Didn't the group admin's uncle spend three days waiting around here? If the fruit wasn't good, why would he need to wait so long?]

[Yeah! No wonder Uncle was so angry, it must be because the quality is so different from the others, right? I'll order some to try later.]

【I also want! 】

This is my, Qiaoqiao's, first time pushing sales! Let's go!

In short, the fans and the group owner reached a psychological consensus, and a large number of new users flocked to the live broadcast room. Qiao Qiao's ability to sell products and attract new users was equally outstanding.

This is a win-win situation for everyone.

The buyer stubbornly remained at the village entrance, making a solemn promise to his two colleagues:
"Don't worry, my niece's team is professional! They'll make sure he can't sell it!"

But her peers had lost faith in her, and were now scrutinizing Qiao Qiao's live stream from top to bottom.

"What about the bad reviews my niece gave? I haven't seen a single one."

Buyer: "..."

He then quickly sent a message to his niece.

The other party quickly sent a long voice message:

"Uncle, you don't understand. Netizens are rebellious these days. If you directly say something bad about him and say a bunch of negative things, they might still insist on buying it."

"Professionals like us are all high-level trolls. For example, we might actually place an order, and when it arrives, we'll film a video and say something like, 'It's alright, I just thought it would be really delicious for this price, but it's just so-so. It's much better than the 9.9 yuan ones in the supermarket, but it's only 10 yuan more expensive at most.'"

She sent those voice messages with feigned seriousness, and looking at Qiaoqiao's young face on the screen, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Sigh, how can the older generation understand the dilemma of being a fan?
After a pause, the niece stammered again:
"But the more realistic I want it to be, the longer the process takes—Uncle, how about I pay you back the money first? You can transfer it to me after it's done?"

The acquirer thought it made a lot of sense.

Although he wanted something simple and straightforward, the internet has always been a field he doesn't quite understand, so he decided to put aside his temper and listen to the professionals.

With two colleagues watching him, although he was tempted by the money, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Alright, you can keep it. Just let me know when you're done!"

So what if we sold 100 mu? There are still more than 500 mu left. If we can acquire those, we can still make a fortune!
The other two buyers also watched the live stream and sneered:
"It's normal for the first store to sell it to fans because they're just looking for something new and joining in the fun."

"I refuse to believe that any of these will be able to sell!"

What kind of scale is this, selling so much at once?

The three men smoked and paced back and forth, their restlessness turning into a sweat that they couldn't suppress.

At this moment, he dragged the little stool over again and carefully planted it under the shade of the tree, staring at his phone until it got hot, unwilling to miss a beat.

As they were watching, they noticed the shopkeeper in the distance staring at them.

"How long are you going to sit here? Could you please give me back my stool?"

"What?" The buyer was stunned. "We've been sitting here for days. You do your thing, do you think we'd want your few stools?"

The small shops in this county town don't have anything good. These stools are just a few movable pieces of wood with two straps. Sitting on them for a long time will definitely hurt your butt.

Why is she treating it like a treasure?

The three looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.

—Who knows?

The proprietress muttered to herself.

Besides, she was willing to lend the stools because her own grapes hadn't found a market yet.

Although three yuan a pound is infuriating, it's still money.

Nowadays—

Wow, the orders in the live stream are coming in so fast, half the county is going there.

Instead of staying at this small shop, she might as well go and inquire about ways to earn more money.

After thinking for a moment, she simply took out her phone as well:
“Secretary, yes, we can’t get through to Lao Tao on the phone. Could you help me ask him if we need to hire someone to cook for all these workers? My mother-in-law can manage.”

"Also, do you want some bottled water? I only have one freezer. He's selling so many grapes; he'll probably be treating a hundred or so people tonight, right? I need to put some in the freezer beforehand, otherwise it won't be cold later..."

These were all important matters, and even though the Party Secretary was busy and sweating profusely in the garden, he decided to go and relay a message to Tao Zhuangzhuang.

That security guard was incredibly dedicated.

On the other hand, he takes the quality of his orchard very seriously. Could you come and help out and keep an eye on things?
The shopkeeper was also happy to hear the Party Secretary agree:
"Good good."

Glancing at the three buyers again, she simply asked, "There are a lot of people over there, do you need some stools? I have quite a few folding stools and small stools here, you can take them over."

Three buyers: "..."

I'm so angry! Why isn't my niece using her powers yet?!
……

In Ningcheng.

After a busy day, the leader finally got off work. Feeling his still light and healthy body, he couldn't help but sigh at the good methods of the rural clinic.

Secretary Wang followed up at the opportune moment: "Boss, we still need to go to the doctor for moxibustion and acupuncture at this time."

As they spoke, the driver, Niu, had already opened the car door for them. Seeing his energetic appearance, Secretary Wang sighed.
"Brother Niu, I thought you didn't need the medicine from yesterday."

The driver chuckled but didn't say anything.

Director Wang said he would accept it, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't a good item, why would the other party be in such a hurry?
They even traveled so far.

In short, the driver gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the fact that the leaders were preoccupied with the affairs of Baiyu County yesterday, pretended that nothing had happened and took the medicine directly back.

As for the effect...

He looked at the two leaders with a complicated expression, thinking to himself, "No wonder so many people are watching!"
The three grown men felt somewhat uncomfortable bringing this up, while the leader asked:

"How's it going in Baiyu County? Have you discussed it with Qiaoqiao?"

Just then, Secretary Wang's phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the name, he laughed: "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Boss, it's perfect that we all listen together."

The car slowly started moving, and Secretary Wang turned on the speakerphone on his phone. A slight panting sound could be heard on the other end of the line, along with barely suppressed excitement and trembling.

"Director Wang! You and the leaders have really helped our county a lot!"

"Now the whole county has mobilized, from elderly people in their seventies and eighties to teenagers who have just finished school, no one is idle!"

The other person's joy was obvious; they seemed about to burst into laughter over the phone, but they held back, considering that they were sharing good news.

I thank you again and again:
"Boss! You truly live up to your reputation! The anchor you introduced looks young, but her abilities are absolutely top-notch! Amazing! Amazing!!!"

He ended with a sigh:
"Some people in our village initially thought the commission was too high, but looking at it today, it's not too high at all! They clearly didn't ask for more because of you!"

"Right now, several companies are kicking themselves in frustration!" (End of Chapter)
