Chapter 175: Popular peripheral products

Gu Yanqiu is the biggest dark horse this summer, and his popularity even exceeds that of the top contestants in previous years.

Someone calculated that before he appeared on the show, he only had a little over one million followers. In just over a month, his followers skyrocketed to over ten million, a first in the entertainment industry.

In the one and a half months since appearing on the show, it has been on the hot search list more than 200 times.

New fans have almost dug up all the shows and interviews he has participated in.

For example, Li Ziyue changed her career to become an internet celebrity. Now that the online market is good, she could have made a lot of money.

But as Gu Yanqiu became famous, his past bad deeds were exposed, and now his career as an internet celebrity has come to a halt.

Along with him, Jin Yuchen, an intern at Orange Media back then, was also out of the picture. Because he was close to Li Ziyue, he was the main force in the dirty laundry. Later, when Li Ziyue fell out of favor, he was immediately terminated.

Having seen the prosperity of the entertainment industry, he had no way of finding an ordinary job again.

For the past few months, he's been so cyberbullied that he can't leave the house. Now that Gu Yanqiu has become famous, some of his former friends have come to him to ask for his opinion and whether he has any regrets.

Isn't this just rubbing salt into his wounds?

He was so angry that he blocked everyone.

Do you regret it?

How can I not regret it?

It's all Li Ziyue's fault. He could have just said something ambiguous, but he insisted on going to the parking lot to record a short video. As a result, he was caught red-handed by the paparazzi who were lurking there. He was so stupid and he also implicated him.

Jin Yuchen grew increasingly angry. He used a secondary account to curse him. But he found his message couldn't be sent. There was only a red exclamation mark. It turned out that all the numbers had been blocked.

hateful.

He got even angrier...

As for Orange Media, it was once known as the top choice for trainees. Their contracts were relatively less stringent and termination was easy, so many high-quality trainees would choose them first.

But Gu Yanqiu's departure from the court was a crushing blow to them. With Gu Yanqiu's rise to fame, all the trainees left, and even capable agents chose to move on. It was undeniable that the boss had such poor judgment. He only promoted those with ulterior motives, leaving the truly talented Gu Yanqiu to languish in the dust.

Netizens are right. If they had invested heavily in Gu Yanqiu to create a stage and new songs, perhaps she could have led the entire company instead of the current situation.

The boss of Orange Media was constantly ridiculed. He couldn't stand it anymore and personally disbanded the company he had run for ten years.

Boss Orange felt mixed emotions when he saw Gu Yanqiu's current abilities and reputation.

…

Many of Gu Yanqiu’s new fans want to buy peripheral products.

As a result, I found Chen Duo's online store, clicked on it, and saw only a link to prevent photography.

"You can find a purchasing agent. Sister Duo opened a small shop nearby Beijing. There are people in our group who do purchasing on your behalf. They don't charge any purchasing fees or postage." An old fan explained.

"Oh, that's embarrassing." said the new fan.

"Don't be embarrassed. It's live every Friday. Do you want to stay? If you do, I'll send you the link."

"Give it to me." said the newcomer.

The shopping host had just arrived at the store this week. When she opened the live broadcast room and shared it in the group, she was shocked to find that the number of people online in the live broadcast room had exceeded 30,000.

There are about 5,000 people watching the live broadcast every week. How come there are so many more people all of a sudden?

When she posted this question, some new fans said they wanted to buy it.

The online store is of course better, but Chen Duo and her husband don’t open it regularly.

Many people are eager to buy it right now, especially those who've shared it with other fan groups. They've bought photo cards before and want to see if this one is as amazing as everyone says!

The host also responded to everyone's questions: "We really don't charge any purchasing fees or postage!"

"It's not purely voluntary. I can make a little money. It's nothing, really. Spending over a thousand here gives a small gift. It used to be a magazine, but now it's a cotton doll. This one's really popular on the secondhand platform, a certain fish. So the agency fee comes from that." Plus, she'd already negotiated a price with the courier. It wouldn't cost much.

Soon she turned her camera to the card section. She loved buying small cards for people. They didn't take up much space and were very easy to hold.

And the most representative.

Sure enough, every time she moved the camera closer to Xiaoka, the comments in the barrage would be shocked.

“So handsome.”

"I want the one with the white shirt."

“I’ve seen it before in a certain book, but seeing it in person is truly amazing.”

"Anchor, take a look at the others!"

The host asked people to join the group and report their numbers, and she kept count.

Everyone is eager to buy. This is a product that even online stores are short of.

And it was the time when fans of Gu Yanqiu were crazy about it.

Small card? Buy!

Buy it!

Banner? Buy!

3D printed photo frame? Buy it!

Keychains, phone cases, pain bags, cotton dolls? Buy, buy, buy! ! !

The reason they stopped was not because they had bought enough, but because the purchasing agents ran out of money.

Who understands? The two credit cards she used for the purchase, plus her WeChat Pay account, were maxed out. Everyone was still enthusiastic. She could only apologize profusely and promise to do livestreams the next day and the day after.

Before, there was only one shopper in the fan group. But now that there's money to be made and demand for shopper services, there are over a dozen more. Every time they come, they clear out everything on the shelves!

The store manager hurriedly called Xu Kaiming after the warehouse was completely emptied of goods worth millions.

When Xu Kaiming received the call, he was stunned: "No, I just sent the goods, and they sold out in one day?"

"Well, you could actually get a little more," the store manager said, meaning he was being too conservative with the stock.

Xu Kaiming hung up the phone with a complicated expression.

It's outrageous. I heard there are so many purchasing agents these days that they can spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on each order. The store already owes hundreds of dolls to the purchasing agents.

He owns factories, and they are all big toy factories. When he opened these small houses nearby, it was to give fans a place to check in and meet up. Everyone started spending like crazy, which was really scary.

This time, we immediately placed an order for 30 million worth of goods from the factory. This includes small cards, dolls, baji, and pain-relieving bags. We're fully committed to production.

I just don't believe that his factory's production speed will not keep up with the speed at which everyone buys.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Kaiming began to admire Chen Duo. A single piece of merchandise could send the entire internet into a frenzy. Who would dare to criticize her for being a celebrity fan now?

When the wealthy first generation mentioned Chen Duo, they always praised other people's children. This was what Ning Zhiyi told him!

Xu Kaiming was secretly happy.

The fangirl who went viral on the internet is his wife. I really want to show off my brother-in-law addiction online!

But since his last fake hickey attempt went wrong, he plans to slowly show off again!
