Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

"Fewer SKUs, top-selling items, high conversion rates, secure private domain traffic, and achieve compliance ahead of time!"

"Earn profits from traffic, profit from fans' trust, make short-term windfalls while laying the groundwork for a long-term brand."

After spending half a day studying in front of the computer, Lin Shu firmly wrote down two core positioning and operating principles for his online store.

The title of number one in the Chinese League of Legends server is indeed a prestigious one, bringing immense popularity that countless people crave from the very beginning.

Conversely, the greater the traffic, the more venomous the eyes that are watching him.

His every move in the future will be under the spotlight, and he won't be able to hide it even if he wants to.

Simply put, when it comes to traffic, if you have the ability, you deserve to eat your share, no problem. But there's also a group of competitors lurking under the table, watching you closely and waiting for you to make a mistake.

If you take even one wrong step, these people will pounce on you from all directions, kick you into the pit, and then seal the pit opening with cement, giving you no chance to climb out.

Therefore, every step must be taken carefully.

"Snacks... try to stick to brands that haven't had any major scandals in later generations. Try to taste them before buying; safety first." Lin Shu squinted and thought for a moment, then quickly wrote a few lines in his notebook... Youchen, Qiaqia, Razer...

"The same goes for esports peripherals; I don't consider no-name brands at all, to avoid problems with after-sales service."

"As for the surrounding area..."

His pen paused for a moment.

"Let's start with something simple."

Customized mouse pads, game-themed T-shirts, and keychains are low-cost, easy to make, and popular with gamers.

High-quality individual items can be promoted, while those that emphasize cost-effectiveness can be given away as gifts with orders or redeemed for discounts.

Try not to promote it as a standalone profit-generating tool – it's not worth the effort for such a small amount of money.

Not only do they not earn much, but they are also prone to making mistakes in quality and quality control.

However, if it's a free gift, young Chinese people will praise it even if it breaks the next day. They'll say it's broken in a unique way.

Although it was her first time getting married, she had never seen a pig run before, but she had certainly eaten pork before.

They sell counterfeit and substandard snacks, expired products mixed in with other items, and offer generic peripherals and refurbished fakes. They only sell goods and don't retain customers; they discard data once it's used up.

These are common problems that exist in 90% of e-sports Taobao stores in recent years. He just copied the answers, and by copying, he could have avoided these problems in advance.

With his thoughts clear, Lin Shu's fingers began to fly across the keyboard again. He scrolled through the online forums of several universities in Jiangsu Province, page after page.

"We need to hire a customer service representative first."

Yes, customer service.

Although he had already decided to temporarily operate the store using a "distribution and dropshipping" model;

In other words, you don't have to keep the goods in your own hands; the manufacturer ships directly. But the most basic thing for an online store is that someone has to support it, right?

If a customer clicks in and asks, "Hi, do you have this mouse in stock?", you can't exactly be playing ranked games while replying to their message, can you?

"Hey, could you wait until I finish this team fight?"

However, full-time customer service is not necessary for the time being.

This job doesn't require much technical skill, and initially it's mostly done online, so the most cost-effective way is to give it to college students as a part-time job.

She's beautiful and has a sweet voice, and most importantly—she's cheap.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu subconsciously slapped himself.

bad!

He really is letting his position dictate his thinking. He's only just become a boss, yet he's already instinctively thinking about how to cut costs.

Of course, a college student customer service representative with a pleasant voice and fast typing speed is very useful.

Just squat down at Want Want, and you can solve 90% of the problems that customers encounter during the sales process.

As for the remaining 10% that cannot be resolved, it's simply a matter of returning or exchanging the goods; we can deal with that later.

He casually typed the title of the job posting on the forum—

"[Esports Goods Recruitment] University students preferred, online store customer service, flexible hours, excellent compensation!"

After thinking about it, I added a sentence at the end: Girls first, nice voice is a bonus.

Yes, that makes sense.

……

While Lin Shu was busy in his rented room, checking wholesale prices and writing job postings, making final preparations for the opening of his small online store.

YY's marketing offensive has finally reached its final stage.

In the past few days, the entire Chinese League of Legends community has been kept in suspense by YY – Emperor, the guy who treats 2400 MMR solo queue kings and pro players like bots, is finally going to start streaming.

However, not a single word was leaked about the specific date or channel from beginning to end.

Players were so frustrated they were practically jumping up and down, spending all their time browsing Duowan Box and Tieba, leaving all sorts of comments and messages, practically pressing the F5 key until it wore out.

Finally, the day of the end of October arrived.

The banners on the Duowan Box homepage, pop-ups on the YY Live client, and pinned posts on major esports forums all seemed to have been preordained, exploding simultaneously at the same time.

[On November 2nd at 11 PM, join Emperor on YY Live channel 900010521 to experience the charm of peak LOL matches!]

The news caused an uproar throughout the Chinese server.

The first to react were the video comment sections of Duowan Box.

Emperor's tutorial video, which has already garnered sky-high views, and its prominent placement on YY's homepage, saw hundreds of new comments appear within just ten minutes.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This day has finally come!

【900010521? I'm going to go and have that channel number engraved on my keyboard right now!】

[November 2nd, 11 PM? Don't contact me that day, I need to take the day off!]

[Hey bro, it's Friday night at 8 PM, what are you asking for leave for? Don't tell me you have to work overtime.]

[Front row, front row! I'm sending rockets as soon as Emperor starts streaming!]

Stop bragging, upstairs. First, check how many coins you have left in your pocket.

[Brothers, channel 900010521 is open, hurry up and join!]

[I've already followed. Anyone who tries to take my channel spot will have to deal with me.]

The forum was even more lively.

The homepages of major League of Legends forums were almost entirely flooded with posts on the same topic, with increasingly outrageous titles—

[Breaking News!] The stream schedule for Emperor, the top player on the Chinese server, has been set! Let's go, guys!

[Rational discussion: Will Emperor's premiere draw over 10,000 viewers?]

[Over 10,000 points? You underestimate the prestige of the top player in the Chinese server with 2,600 points! I bet 50,000!]

[Fifty thousand? A hundred thousand is possible! You have no idea what my roommates are like, they've watched that one slut video over a dozen times.]

Indeed, just one tutorial video was uploaded, and it garnered four to five million views on Duowan alone, not counting other platforms—that's terrifying.

Does anyone know what Emperor looks like? Will his face be shown?

[I don't care what he looks like, even if he's bald, I'll still look. We're here to learn skills, not to chase after celebrities!]

It was precisely in this heated discussion that...

YY Live has already started its pre-event promotion.

Although channel 900010521 hasn't officially launched yet, its homepage already features a promotional poster—black background with red text, a large "Emperor" ID in the center, and a simple slogan:

"A peak match awaits you."
