Star Tycoon

Chapter 131 Refund and Repayment

"I don't want to be an internet celebrity anymore, and I don't want to do live streams every day."

Tian Ersan appeared in the live broadcast room, sat down in a chair, and greeted the people in the live broadcast room.

【Hello】

What happened to my second brother?

Is the streamer moving to a different platform? Which one?

[Hello host, let's be friends]

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "It's not about going anywhere. I've made enough money for now, so I'm planning to take a break for a while and we'll talk about it next year."

No! I just wanted to see you.

If you're tired, take a good rest and let things settle down.

[Host, aren't you going to school?]

I'm unfollowing if you don't broadcast.

If you don't want to broadcast it, then don't. We won't miss you.

Tian Ersan ignored the insults. As a live streamer, one must remain calm and not break down so easily.

This is not easy.

Whether male or female, including many popular streamers, they are all easily vulnerable.

After all, you're dealing with people who are deliberately looking for trouble, sometimes there are thousands of them, so it's normal for them to break down after just a few words.

Therefore, try not to stand against the audience, and try not to argue with them.

“I said before that I would repay those who supported me when I had money. Now I have more than 500 million in my account. This is all after taxes. I have earned this much in the past few months. I still need to set aside some money for development and to pay salaries.”

"I started live streaming around June 7th or 8th, and then around July 1st I received donations from many people."

"Now that I've decided to repay this kindness, I'll be generous. To everyone who supported me before August 1st, whether it was those who tipped me or those who bought my canned food, sunflower seeds, or clothing, I'll return ten times the amount you spent!"

【real? 】

Does tipping now count?

[Screenshot taken! I kept my word!]

Liars are sons of bitches.

[I'm asking for a refund for the tip I gave!]

【ten times!】

Tian Ersan immediately said, "If we only count the period before August 1st, I wasn't pitiful back then. I have always refused other people's sympathy and donations. I have never accepted any donations from anyone over the years. But we all know that the reason why my canned goods and clothes sold so well back then was indeed due to sympathy."

"The people who have supported me the most are the uncles and aunts, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters from Zhongzhou Province and Lu Province. Now that I have achieved success in my career, I want to repay this kindness while I have the money in my hands, so that I won't owe anyone anything in the future."

"Those who tipped me back then can contact me using their tipping records from June and July. I've had Shanshan check them here these past few days. I have all the details of my income in June and July. Even a tenfold return wouldn't amount to much."

"Please don't give me any more tips. I'm only doing this once."

"Let me add one more thing: I will not donate to anyone. Paying taxes legally every year is my responsibility and obligation as an entrepreneur. I don't care about anything else. Don't come to me for money just because there are some bad things happening outside. I don't compare myself to anyone, and I don't owe anyone anything!"

【well said! 】

[You heartless bastard]

I've unfollowed you.

[Get out of here! The streamer is right!]

I support you!

Even though Tian Ersan no longer needs these people to give him tips, there are still people sending gifts in the live stream.

Tian Ersan continued, "I'll explain the rules clearly and then we'll proceed. Friends who shop online in June and July, regardless of whether they've received their goods or not, as long as their payments have been confirmed, will receive a tenfold reward."

"People who want to change their phones can contact our customer service through their accounts. I earned about 50 million in sales during those two months. I borne the taxes, salaries, and store operating costs myself. In short, I will return ten times the amount you donated."

"I have a few million left in my account, which is enough for me. I don't buy luxury goods, nice cars, or mansions. I don't indulge in drinking, gambling, prostitution, or smoking. In short, it's enough for me."

“From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow, I will arrange for people from our company to check. Please inform each other. I will return all the money before the Chinese New Year.”

"I won't be doing live streams for a while, but I'll be posting videos of my daily life every few days. I'll exercise when I need to and do chores when I need to. But I think these are all routine things, nothing worth recording. Besides, it would be too much work for me to do these things while I'm working or exercising."

"Business will continue, mainly clothing. Chengbang Apparel also accepts some custom clothing orders. If you need school uniforms or work uniforms, please contact our customer service for large quantities."

"The prices are affordable. My main goal is to provide female garment workers in Taoxian County with a job to earn a living and support their families. However, I will not allow them to wear low-quality clothes. From now on, I will strictly control the quality of the clothing. I apologize to everyone for the many low-quality products I sold in June and July."

After Tian Ersan mentioned the refund, the live stream became even more lively.

【it is good! 】

[Thanks, host! Now I have money for internet access!]

【Awesome! 】

Great news!

[The host is awesome!]

[Domineering]

The news that Tian Ersan had given away 500 million yuan quickly made headlines in major media outlets.

[Game chat groups for young people in Shandong Province]

"Is this just a publicity stunt?"

"No, my mom received the money."

“My dad just wanted to use my computer to watch the live stream. He bought clothes for 100 yuan in July, and 1,000 yuan has been deposited into his account.”

"Damn! Why don't I have any?"

Did you buy canned food?

"Did not buy."

"Then what do you have?!"

Damn it! I should have bought it!

***
A family chat group in Zhongzhou
“My grandma bought a can of food for thirty yuan, and they gave us three hundred yuan back. My grandma said she would buy clothes from Chengbang from now on.”

"middle!"

"middle!"

"I also bought 160 yuan worth of things, and I got a refund of 1,600 yuan today. I can use that to buy some food and clothes for the New Year."

“My mom is in charge of everything at home. I’ll ask if they’ve refunded the money. I remember buying canned food and clothes before.”

"Second Uncle, let's send out a red envelope after we get the money back, so we can all have some fun."

***
Many people in Shandong Province received refunds, followed by those in Zhongzhou Province, and then users in other provinces.

Tian Ersan kept his word and returned the money he had earned to the others.

Although his main income comes from the shopping street of Baba Mama, his act of giving away 500 million yuan has made those who once supported Tian Ersan praise the boy with great satisfaction.

The canned goods and clothing businesses improved significantly, and a large amount of capital once again flowed into Tian Ersan's Chengbang shop.

Although Tian Er San's brand is based on affordable prices, others simply can't compete with Tian Er San in a price war. A single piece of Tian Er San's clothing sells out at 15 yuan, while other brands' clothes go unnoticed at 7.5 yuan.

***
Tian Ersan frowned as he looked at the orders in his shop.

"Damn, orders are piling up again! I really don't want to make money!"

****
The Chengbang Trade compound was filled with luxury cars, with cars worth millions being commonplace.

However, the car parked in the shed was an ordinary car worth less than 100,000 yuan.

Tian Ersan's car is quite conspicuous because it is covered with various anime girl images.

He doesn't care about being shameful; his image is upright and righteous, yet he can cleverly incorporate the hobbies of various young people.

Other teenagers' preference for watching cartoons and playing video games is a drawback.

These problems are all advantages for Tian Ersan.

Society and the public have a very high tolerance for Tian Ersan. No matter if Tian Ersan runs a company with female employees or spends his days creating videos related to anime and manga, no one criticizes him for it.

As a nationally recognized poet, even if he went to a KTV to drink and have fun, no one would think there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, they would feel that this is how things should be.

It's no big deal if he sleeps with female celebrities in their thirties or forties; people will just think he's starved for love and is trying to make up for it.

Tian Ersan has now established a solid foundation.

I also found something I wanted to do.

Tian Ersan just wanted to play games quietly, and when he was bored, he would come out to rest and enjoy the busy and fulfilling life outside.

There are just too many things to deal with right now, which is quite frustrating.

Inside the conference room of Chengbang Group, Tian Ersan sat down with the CEOs of over a hundred companies to discuss matters.

The project was spearheaded by provincial leaders, and it was a joint effort between Shandong Province and Zhongzhou Province.

Tian Ersan is riding high, and the companies that cooperated with him in August, as well as many companies in Shandong Province, know his strength.

After Tian Ersan refused to continue operating and selling goods, various companies approached their superiors to exert pressure.

It can't be said that they're passing on pressure; they don't think so.

"Mr. Tian, ​​look, everyone is rushing to give you money. The commission is negotiable. Everyone knows your abilities."

Jiang Junqing smiled and tried to persuade Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan's attitude was not good. He replied directly, "I don't want to make this money. I want to quietly resolve Chengbang's own problems for a while."

The leaders of Zhongzhou Province asked, "What's wrong with Chengbang?"

As a major taxpayer in the province and a key enterprise receiving support, Chengbang Group has received a lot of attention and support from the province.

The biggest support is not providing company buildings, but tax breaks.

Tian Ersan replied, "Chengbang's motto is 'A nation of integrity, treating people with sincerity.' Currently, the quality of Chengbang's clothing is very poor. I plan to take a break for a while to upgrade the industry, purchase machinery and equipment, and establish formal factories and production workshops."

“I have no stock left to sell, and the prices at Chengbang Shopping are much lower than elsewhere. Selling such low-priced products in the long run will impact many other businesses.”

"For example, the canned goods I sell have almost wiped out one-tenth of the canned peach enterprises in Guantou Town, Tao County, and many other places in the south."

"We've already made enough money this year. The market is only so big right now, so it's time to give everyone else a chance to have a meal during the Chinese New Year."

Tian Ersan explained his considerations.

He never mentioned that he wanted to play games in peace.

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but those around him had mixed feelings after hearing his reasoning.

A female entrepreneur in her forties said, "Mr. Tian, ​​don't think like that. Doing business is about making money through your own abilities. What consumers buy is their business. We're making money through our own abilities, not doing anything illegal."

Tian Ersan looked at these people.

"If you bosses sell your products at low prices here, won't those distributors say anything? Their products that are a few dollars or tens of dollars more expensive will definitely be affected, right?"

The CEO of a food company with annual sales of over 100 million yuan said with a smile, "It has indeed been affected. Those who can sell at high prices will definitely not sell at low prices. However, we sell our brand, not those small workshops outside. Building long-term and stable customers is what the company needs for development."

"Chengbang Shopping can stay open indefinitely. Those who want to buy from Chengbang can buy from Chengbang, and those who don't can leave it at that."

"The market is only so big. If we keep our factory price unchanged, it's better to let Mr. Tian make the money than to let those distributors make money."

“We came here because we know that Mr. Tian is capable of doing long-term business, and we also want to use Chengbang’s channel to let more consumers know about our brand.”

The CEOs all shared similar sentiments, and the leaders of both provinces also hoped to reach a cooperation agreement.

This is a market of 200 million people!

However, Tian Ersan really didn't want to earn this money.

"Controlling quality is too troublesome. I'm not interested in making money now, and I don't want to make myself so tired."

Upon hearing this, a nearby business owner smiled and advised, "Mr. Tian is still young, he should work hard and achieve great things."

Tian Ersan showed little emotion. "Enough to live on is enough. If you don't have fun when you're young, you won't be able to when you're old. What's the point of spending your best years at eighteen with your peers instead of attending meetings and making useless money? I've made four or five hundred million, and I've realized that being a boss or a tycoon is not what I want."

"I just want to live a quiet life by myself, stay at home, not see any guests, play games when I want to, talk to people downstairs in the office when I want to, eat when I want to, and sleep when I want to."

"The business doesn't need to be that big. I'll figure out a way when I need to make money. I just need to put in a little effort."

The person in charge of this matter in the province asked, "This is just like last time, it can be done in a day, it's not troublesome."

Tian Ersan looked at everyone and said, "Why don't you all just create your own website to sell your goods?"

This is a good suggestion, theoretically feasible, but after looking at each other, the dozens of entrepreneurs all knew it wouldn't work.

Zhu Fuhan said, "President Tian is joking. We don't have that kind of ability. Don't be fooled by the fact that we are all big entrepreneurs in the province. In fact, even in this city, there are not many people who know us."

Tian Ersan was certainly aware of this, and he said it on purpose.

"Well then, I see that everyone has their own website, and there are several shopping platforms that are even bigger than Chengbang Shopping now. You can try other websites."

"I will also help sell some things here, but I will only sell one type of each item. For example, I will only sell one type of ham sausage and instant noodles, and I will only sell my yellow peach canned goods. I will only sell my style of cheap clothing. I will not put anything else on the shelves."

"From food to various daily necessities, I only offer one item of each, and they must be affordable. I don't offer any coupons or discounts; the price is what it is. This cultivates users' purchasing habits, encourages them to pay habitually, and saves them the time of comparison."

"If the quality is not good and there are too many complaints, then if I am sure it is really not good, I will change the person and change the goods!"

"Chengbang aims to build its reputation: a nation of integrity, shop with confidence!"

"You can sell your other products elsewhere, or you can sell the products you put on Chengbang elsewhere as well. Chengbang Shopping's commission is the sales price plus eight percent, and any amount less than one dollar will be calculated as one dollar. I will be responsible for advertising and technical services, and I will not charge any additional fees."

Several entrepreneurs worth hundreds of billions looked at this young entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions.

"An 8% commission... isn't that too much?"

Tian Ersan smiled confidently, “Merchants can switch platforms at any time, or choose to sell on multiple platforms at the same time, but they must accept Chengbang’s arrangement on the sales price. If they are not satisfied, they can stop. I don’t charge any penalty for breach of contract.”

“If taking an 8% cut means you can’t make any money, then there’s no point in cooperating at all.”

An 8% commission is actually not much at all. The difference between the ex-factory price and the final selling price is definitely more than 8%. It is normal for the selling price to be 100% higher than the ex-factory price.

Tian Ersan only takes 8% of the commission, leaving the rest—customer service and shipping—to the merchants, thus saving on their own labor costs.

The last shopping festival went very well, and everyone felt that we could cooperate.

With the help of several entrepreneurs, everyone soon decided to give it a try.
