Chapter 491: 491. Xiaojiang Helps Farmers_1 Chapter 491: 491. Xiaojiang Helps Farmers_1 Truth be told, Xiaojiang was actually a pretty reliable host.

Compared to someone like Qiaoqiao who inexplicably rose to fame unintentionally, his sudden popularity also stemmed from an accident.

It happened when he was still at university, once when he went back to his classmate’s hometown and accidentally discovered that the quality of the local red dates was quite good, but because the mountain roads were so remote, no one came to buy them, and he felt a pang of sympathy.

But as an ordinary university student, he didn’t have any channels, so he tried creating a public service account to help the farmers, and stumbled through his first live broadcast–

As it happened, whether it was because of platform adjustments, policy favoritism, or newcomer benefits, his first live broadcast was coincidentally put into the traffic pool, quickly attracting a good number of viewers.

The poor mountain village, the trees and fields full of red dates, and the pitiful-looking locals by the side… At the time, the routine for aiding farmers wasn’t so overused, and most people in the live broadcast room were moved by compassion.

Soon, the unsold surplus of over 6,000 jin of red dates was sold out completely.

Of course, because it was his first attempt, and he lacked experience and foresight, Xiaojiang himself ended up losing more than 1,200 yuan–

That’s pretty normal, after all, not all farmers are simple and honest.

Many were delighted with the deal, thinking, “Finally, no need to go to all that trouble trying to sell them,” but a handful took advantage of the fact that the college student was inexperienced and green around the edges. When sending the red dates, they couldn’t help but tamper with them a little.

It didn’t require much sophistication; just by not drying the red dates at the bottom, the weight increased, and so did the money, right?

That year, the autumn heat was particularly oppressive, and the inexperienced Xiaojiang packed and boxed the red dates in turn. By the time it came to these few packages, they had already started to spoil at the bottom.

When he traced the packaging back to the villagers, they just had a shameless demeanor, instead complaining that he hadn’t checked the goods properly, and now that there was an issue, they had to deal with him…

Anyway, despite just having helped them sell the stuck red dates, when real trouble came, everyone urged peace and conciliation. After all, he was an outsider.

There were even whispers that the red dates had sold for too little…

The 1,200-plus yuan Xiaojiang lost, he eventually had to make up for with red dates purchased from another village before he could finish shipping the orders.

After that, he knew that cheap and unselfish help often ends in loss.

After the summer break ended, he began exploring the path of aiding farmers–but he never sold those red dates from his classmate’s place again.

His classmate had still called to speak on behalf of the villagers. Of course, the others felt it was a loss of face, but since it was their hometown and the people were all relatives and elders, he gritted his teeth and went through with it.

In the end, though, Xiaojiang declined.

His tough character actually developed from that experience of helping the farmers.

And through that experience, Xiaojiang found a new path, successfully seizing the pulse of the era. The dividends of self-media, he had them secured.

Today, two years after college graduation, Xiaojiang’s reputation in assisting farmers has grown from an initial 20,000 followers to about 4 million across the entire network.

And he sells more than just red dates–corn, oranges, peaches, mangoes…

Any easy-to-transport surplus fruit, he has sold.

Now seasoned with experience, he earns money on every deal and has hired relevant financial and other staff, never falling into the predicament of losing money again.

But the low limit of human nature and the gradually deteriorating reputation of aiding farmers also make him constantly jittery, afraid of stepping onto a path of self-destruction.

Joining Qiaoqiao for a co-streamed live broadcast today was also an early plan of their team.

But at this moment, the plan stumbled a bit upon seeing the extremely joyous smile on Qiaoqiao’s face.

Let’s be honest, as siblings, with Song Tan’s outstanding appearance, there’s no way Qiaoqiao could be unattractive. Especially since he’s been eating well every day, with Spiritual Energy swirling around him. Now with rosy lips and pearly teeth, innocent eyes, he’s the spitting image of an unsophisticated little prince.

If it weren’t for the rustic straw hat on his head, which was way too down-to-earth, nobody would realize that he was essentially a farmer.

For instance, right now, upon hearing his cheerful voice, Xiaojiang’s lines also got stuck for a moment.

But, the information collected by the Team also surfaced in front of him at this moment–

“…suddenly became popular… must have bought data at the beginning…”

“…the livestream wasn’t interesting, had their company people watch it, two out of three fell asleep…”

“…the host has intellectual disabilities, but looks pretty good… playing the sympathy card…”

“…just like any other farmer selling agricultural products, no organic certification… Ning Province’s IP doesn’t have any special geographical advantages…”

“…the stuff is very expensive… the tactics of harvesting leeks are very obvious… the Taotao store is full of strategic positive reviews, the data manipulation is too clear…”

“…tea that’s 10,000 per catty, last month had sales of 29, this month it’s only been a few days but already showing sales of 16…”

“…just now a new viewer came into the live room saying they came from elsewhere, the peaches were priced at 80. Started harvesting leeks and it sparked a dispute…”

In short, with the right time, place, and people, Xiaojiang was here today to expose the fraud!

The industry meant to support farmers had become like this, and yet, there were still people muddying the waters in the market! Previously on Trembling, someone sold peculiar egg-fruit–not the tropical fruit known as egg-fruit, but literal chicken eggs hanging on trees!

And it’s frankly outrageous that they still managed to scam money with such a scam!

Xiaojiang almost had a heart attack the first time he saw it.

Nowadays, selling items through live streaming is super competitive, and just tugging at heartstrings isn’t enough anymore. Customers want it all–they want low prices and high value. They also want exceptional after-sales service and products without the slightest damage…

He’s not just selling 10 or a hundred orders, but dispatching tens of thousands of catties of fruit, how could there possibly be no after-sales issues at all!

Yet, previously when Qiaoqiao was selling watermelons online at 20 bucks a catty, his live room had shills clamoring that even without a guarantee against damage, they still wanted to buy…

Just say, how ridiculous is that?!

Luckily, co-streaming is also a great way to boost one’s own popularity. After all, with the industry being so competitive, they’ve hit a bottleneck for quite some time.

And since online customers love stirring up trouble, he slowly began to filter through some outrageous live rooms to co-stream and question them.

Of course, to avoid disputes, he wouldn’t give a verdict in the end, but as long as everyone watched the whole process, good or bad, the viewers in the live room would be able to tell.

At this moment, Xiaojiang cleared his throat, “I’ve heard that you are psychologically quite young… Can you understand what I’m saying? What I mean is, since you dared to co-stream, you won’t pretend to be dumb and avoid my questions by saying you don’t understand, will you?”

Qiaoqiao was stunned.

Although he had awaited a new guest, his visitor seemed a bit fierce.

So he also became obedient and a bit embarrassed, “Well… what do you want to ask? I just learned to solve one-variable equations, if it’s multi-variable, then I won’t know how to answer.”
