I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Xiaoyu has been back at school for ten days.

Lin Xiaoyu, who had refrained from watching Kuaiyin for a long time, finally decided to take an hour to relax after finishing her evening self-study session today.

This time, her goal was very clear.

Ye Xian, that handsome boy.

She hasn't been using Kuaiyin much lately, but her classmates keep recommending it to her.

"Did you know? There's a streamer named Ye Xian now, he's super handsome!"

"Yeah, he can cook and sing, and most importantly, he's super handsome!"

"Ye Xian has released a new song! I feel 'When' is better than 'The Farthest Place I Can See'!"

"I prefer 'Take Me to Nightlife'."

……

Whenever someone recommends something, Lin Xiaoyu remembers that she was the first person to like Ye Xian's post, and she can't help but curl her lips into a smile.

Having not seen Ye Xian for so long, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but watch all 12 of his short videos, including the one featuring Xin Ge and Fei Ge.

Ye Xian has made a lot of new dishes!

Each video is different.

I really want to eat it.

Will someone this handsome cook for me someday?

The new song "The Farthest Place I Can See" is good, and "When" is also very nice. I don't quite understand the new song "A Person Like Me" that was released today.

Maybe I'm just too young.

Ye Xian has a fan club?

Is it still called "midnight snack"?

That's definitely his style; he never forgets to eat, no matter where he goes. But I really like this name. Hmm, I'll follow his late-night snack fan page.

Please also pay attention to this, Aunt Qiu. She's such a kind person.

Ding Zhan? Too old, not my type, get lost.

No, Ye Xian's agent might send some news from him, so let's keep an eye on it too.

Brother Xian is so kind, he doesn't want everyone to waste money on him. Hmm, buying your songs isn't considered wasting money, is it?

Lin Xiaoyu downloaded all four of Ye Xian's songs from Sea Lion Music to her phone for a fee, so she could use them as background music when doing her homework.

Xin Ge and Fei Ge's short video is really well made, and the narration is also very pleasant. No wonder it has over 20 likes.

However, it should all be thanks to Brother Xian's new song, right?

definitely is.

After watching all the videos, Lin Xiaoyu checked the time.

One hour, just right!

Somewhat reluctant to leave, Lin Xiaoyu resolutely turned off her phone.

Before I got into university, my watch was more useful than my cell phone.

You must restrain yourself.

But if I don't watch Kuaishou, can I listen to music?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyu turned on her phone again and put her Bluetooth earphones into her ears.

As Ye Xian sang, Lin Xiaoyu's breathing gradually became heavy.

In her dream, Lin Xiaoyu dreamed that she had been admitted to Imperial University, but she insisted on being transferred to Haizhou University.

Isn't Haizhou better than the capital?

……

On the morning of the 7th, Ye Xian and Ding Zhan saw Wang Feifei and her two daughters off at the high-speed rail station.

These girls took leave to come; they can't stay long and have to go back to school or work.

Ye Xian and Sun Li agreed that once the number of fans reached a certain level, Sun Li would resign and come to Haizhou to officially join Ye Xian's company, where she would be responsible for Ye Xian's fan management and customer service.

Wang Feifei and Wang Yin could only watch helplessly; they still had more than a year before they could graduate.

Now, they can only work as low-level staff, cheering and waving flags in the super topic and fan groups.

This is also a major reason why no one objected when Sun Li proposed to be the first leader of the troupe.

After seeing the three women off, the two immediately picked up Qiu's mother and then went to meet four fans.

That's right, these four fans are the same four "golden chain brothers" Ye Xian encountered when he first connected with them in the live stream.

Li Dagang, Wang Dalong, Hong Tie, Zhang Qiang.

Four large gold chains stood by the roadside, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Ye Xian spotted Wang Dalong's shiny bald head from afar.

"Oh, my dear Xian-ge, it's so rare to see you!"

"Hello Brother Long, hello Brother Gang, hello Brother Tie, hello Brother Qiang!"

Ye Xian greeted everyone in turn, then turned to introduce Aunt Qiu and Ding Zhan, but Wang Dalong had already clasped his hands in greeting: "Aunt Qiu, Uncle Ding, I've seen you in videos before, it's so nice to finally meet you in person!"

Hello!

Autumn's mother sized up the group, then looked around at the surroundings, and nodded with satisfaction: "Dalong, your processing plant looks pretty good!"

"That's right!"

Speaking of his profession, Wang Dalong thumped his chest loudly: "Our processing plant has the highest food safety standards in the entire Haizhou. It absolutely meets national safety certification levels, and we have all the necessary certificates."

"We brothers came from the three northern provinces to start a business in Haizhou because of the abundant fruit resources here. Our main products—durian lava cakes and durian pastries—are fresh products with a short shelf life of 45 days and 19 days respectively because they do not contain preservatives. Unlike some manufacturers who use durian powder and additives to fool people, we genuinely add durian pulp."

Indeed, Ye Xian and his two companions came to Wang Dalong's factory to explore new sources of goods.

Previously, Ye Xian had no money, no people, and no time. Now that Ding Zhan has joined, Qiu Mama has also been freed up. The first thing the three of them do is to prepare to enrich several product categories, otherwise the current conversion rate of the live broadcast room is too low.

Selling a few dozen bottles of wine every night would be enough to support Ye Xian alone, but if he wanted to expand and grow the business, he didn't know when he would be able to make a living just by selling wine.

Previously, Ye's mother had communicated with Wang Dalong and the others about the address backstage and sent two cases of wine to them via same-city express delivery. Wang Dalong casually mentioned that he produced durian cakes and would send one to Qiu's mother later.

Qiu's mother is from Haizhou, so she naturally has no resistance to durian. The two chatted for a while, and then Qiu's mother keenly realized that Wang Dalong's processing plant was lacking an effective sales channel.

These short-shelf-life foods are actually the truly good products among food products, because they are the healthiest products without preservatives.

If you add in the absence of other advanced technologies and rudimentary techniques, then it's definitely a product of conscience.

Many business owners who are willing to produce short-shelf-life foods are driven by passion and dedication.

However, bosses with passion and ideals generally have very poor profitability.

Capitalists who are focused on making money have no sense of social responsibility.

No, to be precise, it has no feelings!

Wang Dalong's poor sales and profits are largely due to its short shelf life.

19-day shelf-life durian pastry, 45-day shelf-life durian cake.

This thing doesn't keep well.

Producing too much can easily lead to inventory buildup, and once it expires, it's all over.

If production is too low, it's easy to fall behind sales, and distribution channels will abandon the business.

If orders are uncertain, workers cannot be supported long-term, so in the end, only short-term workers can be hired.

Short-term jobs are unstable, which can lead to problems with the quality of production.

But once the machine is turned on, gold is worth a fortune; the losses involved are simply too great.

With all these factors combined, it's really difficult to make a profit from short-shelf-life food products.

In the past two days, Qiu's mother bought some durian cakes and durian pastries from different supermarkets. She tasted them herself and also invited a few close friends and students to try them. Everyone felt that they tasted very good.

Thus, today's on-site inspection came about.
