At 10:00 a.m. on February 5th, Ye Xian, Qiu's mother, and Ding Zhan sat around the tea table, checking the backend data together.

Last night's events were over. Wang Feifei and the other two girls went out to play. Ye Xian was preparing to have a frank discussion with Ding Zhan about the contract. Since they were going to talk, they naturally wanted to be open and honest. Ye Xian didn't intend to hide anything and showed all the data from the backend.

Because of the influx of fans, the account's data looks better, but this is a false prosperity, and some followers will be lost in the future.

Of the 8400 bottles of Haizhou Laojiu (a type of Chinese liquor), 367 bottles were sold, leaving 8033 bottles remaining.

During this period, the combined online and offline income, after deducting all expenses, resulted in a surplus of 4.4 yuan.

After paying platform service fees and taxes, there may be a surplus of around 4 yuan.

These wines have no purchase cost, so the overall profit is decent, but not as good as expected.

Of course, the remaining 8033 bottles of Haizhou Laojiu are worth 955927 yuan.

Book value.

If we also consider the initial fixed asset purchases, the two service fees that were ripped off, and the investment costs of Lanxing Yexian, all these miscellaneous expenses add up.

Ye Xian is still operating at a loss overall.

However, for a live-streaming e-commerce host, achieving this level of success in just half a month is already a very good start.

"Now, the account as a whole has established itself at the bottom of the mid-tier streamer level and has reached the milestone of 10 followers."

Ye Xian brewed tea for his two elders.

The "188,000" Lao Ban Zhang is incredibly smooth to drink.

Ding Zhan took a sip of tea and said:

"Personally, I think we have several areas that need to be developed. The most important is to do a good job in short videos and live-streaming e-commerce. This is your goal and direction, and we need to focus all our efforts on this direction."

"We can hold off on major changes this February, but in March, we'll need to recruit professional operations talent and build an account operations team to completely free you up. We can't let you do everything yourself. Late February and early March is peak recruitment season, so this should be our top priority."

"The second thing is that live-streaming hosts need to have products. As you yourself have mentioned in your live streams, it's very difficult to sell single products, and the conversion rate is very low. So we need to add new products. This requires analyzing your fan profile and then selecting products according to your positioning. This is also a top priority."

"The third thing is song promotion. You'll need to work on all your future song releases, including releases on other platforms and commercial licensing negotiations."

"All three songs have now entered the top 30 of the Kuaishou (a popular Chinese music streaming platform) charts, but moving up a notch will be a bit tricky!"

"The top 20 songs on Kuaishou's trending chart, especially the top 10, all require capital investment. To be honest, I'm very surprised that you've achieved this level on your own! Of course, this is all thanks to your talent and ability."

"With limited funds in the early stages, we need to focus more on our fans. Promotion is a long-term endeavor, but it must be taken seriously; we can't let the song develop freely."

"The fourth thing is your songwriting. As an important part of your 'short videos,' you are a professional singer with a commercially operated account. In the future, including your short videos and live streams, you can only use your own music in all copyright-related areas. No one else can help you with this; you must handle it yourself. After you have finished all the music, hand it over to the operations team to avoid future copyright disputes."

"The fifth thing is your fan club. I've checked the backgrounds of these three girls, and they're all clean, so it shouldn't be a big problem to let them set it up. But we need to sign an agreement with them."

"Yesterday's sasaeng fans were something I didn't expect. If they hadn't let it slip, no one would know what these fans had been up to behind the scenes."

"There's a fan called 'Cute-faced Auntie' who's been fighting with Aile's fans for so long, which has caused you some negative impact. You ignored the first confrontation, which could have ended completely, but then you did that, and this second confrontation looks like we're inciting conflict, dragging others down, and trying to extort money."

"Once the fan club is established, I will have Wang Feifei and the others focus on cracking down on and managing obsessive fans like 'Mengmian Dashen'. I will also organize them to reach a reconciliation with Aile's fans as much as possible."

Upon hearing Ding Zhan mention "sasaeng fans," Qiu's mother coughed and picked up her teacup to take a sip.

Ye Xian nodded. The things Ding Zhan summarized were also things he had been thinking about recently. He had promised Qiu's mother to help him to reduce his own pressure. Now that the account was doing better and better, the formation of a team was inevitable.

Team building, account operation, merchandise organization, music creation, release operation, fan management, public relations... these things came one after another, faster and more urgently than expected.

"Besides that, the uncle needs to find a new live streamer!"

Ye Xian pointed out a strategic direction that Ding Zhan had not seen: "In the future, I will be the main streamer on this account, but there must be co-streamers. There are two considerations for this. First, the live streaming room will gradually be developed into a multi-streamer live streaming room. Second, we need to incubate a group of streamers that belong to us."

"You want to fight a matrix-based multiplayer battle?"

Ding Zhan immediately grasped Ye Xian's strategic plan: "You little rascal, you've got quite the ambition!"

Ding Zhan initially thought Ye Xian only wanted to package himself as a top streamer, but he didn't expect Ye Xian to have a bigger and more comprehensive plan.

"Since we're sincerely discussing cooperation, I'll definitely lay out everything I need to do!"

"Nowadays, bloggers with two or three hundred thousand followers dare to take on apprentices indiscriminately. As someone who focuses solely on managing my account, I naturally won't go it alone."

Ye Xian laughed and said, "In the future, it would be best if I could leave this live-streaming room!"

"Besides that, I have some bigger plans that I haven't fully considered yet, and we're still in the early stages, so it's a bit too early to talk about them."

"Working for someone else will never be as comfortable as being your own boss!"
