Chapter 929: 911. Sold Out [Lots of Bullet Screens]

The first live broadcast ran into hiccups, and the two novice hosts were so flustered they totally neglected the live stream.

Tian Tian stuffed the remaining half of her steamed bun into her mouth and craned her neck towards the backstage area, bun still clenched between her teeth.

"I...I can’t click it, why is it still grayed out?"

Darn it! The people who knew how to handle a live stream weren’t around—panicking! Even the pros with a million fans never faced such a situation, so why are they running into troubles right at the start?

While in a flurry, their phone rang, with Zhang Yanping’s voice coming through: "Uh... haven’t you guys sold out already?"

Huh?

The two exchanged glances, then looked at the barrage of comments, only to see a tide of words that seemed ready to leap out and wallop them—

[Scammers!! You bunch of scammers!]

Secretary Xiaozu’s heart skipped a beat!

Looking further down, the cries in the comments seemed to grow louder.

[Wuwuwu, new hosts still playing with my feelings]

[You said you weren’t interested in the regular kudzu powder, then why couldn’t I snag any even with my keyboard keys falling off?]

[Who on earth cleared out all the kudzu powder ahhh!]

[Host, stop fussing, the problem isn’t with your stream, it’s that the stock listed is sold out, hurry up and restock!]

[Quick, restock, post the link!]

[Hey hey! I’m one of the first batch who grabbed it, so happy!]

[Ahhh, it was gone by the time I paid, so frustrating! Waiting for the second round!]

[Post the link, post the link.]

[Don’t panic, last time during the live stream Teacher Qiaoqiao said they could make over two thousand pounds... don’t panic]

[Guys, who knows? Seeing it at 88 yuan per pound, I felt like it was almost free]

[Me too! I paid swiftly.]

[88 yuan per pound of kudzu powder can last for months, if it weren’t for fear of farting I could eat 88 yuan worth of sugared chestnuts in one night]

[Economical! Great value! Got it, hope it tastes good!]

Secretary Xiaozu and Tian Tian exchanged a look, feeling completely frazzled now.

Just... over two thousand pounds of kudzu powder, Boss Zhao and another boss took two thousand pounds, the rest, Song Tan and Secretary Xiaozu each had a hundred pounds...

Ah this, ah this, there are only these five hundred packs in total, at most a hundred and ten packs, and no more!

What do we do now? How shall we post the link in a bit? Post thin air?

Looking back at the barrage of comments, the fans had started urging her to stop with the hunger marketing and post the product already...

Who would understand? They hadn’t even begun to relish their success, and they were already worrying about sales.

After a while, Tian Tian finally swallowed the dry steamed bun and managed a strained smile: "Sorry everyone, that’s all the kudzu powder we have..."

The comments fell silent for a moment, then exploded:

[Pants off already, and you give me this news?]

[???? Host, I urge you to come clean]

[Ahhh, you two ladies better not follow Host Qiaoqiao’s steps! Hunger marketing has no future!]

[I don’t buy it! Are you planning to hike the price?]

[That’s right! If you’re going to increase prices just say so! I’ve been waiting all morning!]

"No, really, it’s not that!" Tian Tian was on the verge of panic, having completely forgotten all the preparations made beforehand, she quickly grabbed her phone and ran over to Old Zhao who was wandering around the mountain looking at radishes...

Secretary Xiaozu’s phone wasn’t cheap, and it had a pretty good sound pickup, but without a mic in their setup, all that could be heard in the live stream were the whooshing winds and panting breaths.

Then the camera turned, zooming in on Old Zhao’s rough face:

"Sorry everyone, we’re really not lying, there’s just too much kudzu powder and we were afraid we wouldn’t sell it all during the live stream, so Host Qiaoqiao introduced a couple of bosses to us."

"This is Boss Zhao, he’s taking a thousand catties."

Secretary Xiaozu also stepped up to explain: "Yes, and there’s another boss who needs his delivery sent off tomorrow morning... We’re really not doing hunger marketing, thinking since we’re new, we were afraid it wouldn’t sell, so we didn’t dare keep too much..."

Secretary Xiaozu truly sighed: "Selling to wholesalers is even cheaper, had we known we’d keep it for the live stream, we could have made more money for Uncle Zhang."

Excluding postage, packaging, and labor, selling a catty here can earn us ten more bucks than wholesale.

The audience in the live stream, looking at Old Zhao’s bewildered and displeasing face, cried out "waah"!

[Thought it was a hunger marketing ploy by a pretty young lady, but didn’t expect an old man to beat us to the punch]

[Aaagh, dammit! Cursed capitalists!]

[Host missy, please have a little more faith next time, okay?]

[Exactly! There are two to three hundred thousand fans in the live room, how could you dare to only sell 500 orders?]

[Crying aggrievedly, I was full of confidence thinking that getting ten orders today would be a breeze... and I didn’t spend a dime in the end]

[Kudzu powder! Kudzu powder!]

[I never liked drinking this stuff, but now that I didn’t get any, I dream about drinking it!]

[Looking at my pending order, I suddenly feel like I’ve found a treasure, so precious!]

[Hahahaha, I’ve snatched it!]

[Missy, kudzu powder is hard to sell, I have experience—Boss Zhao hoarding so much isn’t practical to sell, ya’know]

Old Zhao didn’t care about the others, but he zeroed in on this comment, feeling very indignant:

"Who says? My family’s shop is also somewhat famous in our city, this kudzu powder has only been listed for half a month and I’ve sold 476 orders."

"Don’t say anymore..." Tian Tian weakly interrupted him:

"Boss Zhao, our online shop just sold 500 orders in less than ten seconds... What you’ve got... maybe... is it possible..."

Old Zhao turned pale with shock: "Ten seconds? 500 orders? Five hundred catties? Is live streaming really such a money-making venture now?"

Live room: ...

[You guys really don’t treat us as outsiders, huh.]

[Not every live room is out to rake in money like this]

[I follow a hundred and ten live rooms, but I don’t miss a single episode of Teacher Qiaoqiao’s]

[As long as there’s a chance to buy from Teacher Qiaoqiao’s home, it’s a blessing, never mind money]

[Stop blabbering, just tell us if you can spare those 500 orders, will ya?]

[Please, I beg you, Host Qiaoqiao’s is too expensive, can you give me a chance at this 88 yuan one?]

"Right, Old Zhao," Secretary Xiaozu earnestly said: "Look at you, after pre-sale for half a month, you’ve only sold a bit over 400 orders, you’re not doing enough with customer retention... Why not just give up the 500 catties!"

Old Zhao was really irritated: "What do you mean ’only over 400 orders’? Where am I lacking customer retention? I’ve got a total of 418 people in my VIP fan group!"

He grumbled resentfully: "You think Song Tan can supply me with much produce? Summer peaches are sold by the piece!"

In their small city, where low income and high expenses abound, there are many people without money, but even more who are willing to spend. If he opened up his VIP fan group wide, who knows how many would join!

But there’s no stock!

Bearing the infamy of "hunger marketing" every day, what’s wrong with him, Old Zhao, just a common middleman?

Old Zhao also felt wronged.

"Usually scrapping and scraping by, enforcing a limit per person, I’ve opened a shop but I really do proper business for no more than two hours a day... Don’t you think I want to expand and strengthen my business?"

He also wanted to sell ordinary items on the side, but his daughter just wouldn’t allow it... But there was no need to mention that now.
