Chapter 54: Super Fun

Xu Kaiming didn't let everyone wait too long. He had already started to work on the factory.

This time, a specially hired master craftsman painted the doll's face. The plump, fleshy cotton flower is quite challenging to create.

Anyway, Xu Kaiming boasts that his is the best toy factory in Yiwu.

Although it was rushed, the quality inspection was done with the highest standards.

I can buy it at 8 o'clock the next night. The link is already open, just waiting for it to be put on the shelves on time at 8 o'clock.

Xu Kaiming thought, after all, Xiaoka was so popular before, this cotton doll should also be good.

But he still underestimated the speed of these star-chasing girls. He opened the link at 8 o'clock on time and it felt stuck.

When I refreshed the page again, the two dolls with clothes were sold out. That’s an additional 10,000 orders for each type.

Xu Kaiming even took a look at the time, which showed it was still eight o'clock.

When I turned my attention to the page, I selected the cotton doll with a skeleton and it showed that there were only three in stock. But when I refreshed the page again, they were gone.

By 8:02, even the regular naked dolls were gone.

Many people in the group said they had snagged tickets: "It was like getting concert tickets. I was so cautious even when I got to the payment page. My heart was still pounding until the payment was successful."

"Aaaaah. I wanted to collect all four dolls. But when I clicked on it and checked the hoodie doll, it was gone. I was so scared I rushed to grab the white T-shirt doll. After I bought that, only the regular naked doll was left. You guys shouldn't be so quick."

"[Post a picture][Post a picture][Post a picture][Post a picture] I got four models, but I asked my roommates to help me get them. I think they were pretty easy to get."

"Ahhh, I wanted to buy the one with the baby clothes, but when they were sold out, I got into a struggle for a while, and then the naked baby with the skeleton was gone. I was afraid the regular baby would be sold out too, so I had to buy this. Do you have a replacement? I'm willing to pay the price."

But some people remained silent. After a while, they said, "Damn, there are still so many people who haven't paid. I checked the sales volume and it shows more than 30,000. Can those uncertain ones not occupy inventory?"

"Sister, you reminded me. I'll go to a certain second-hand platform to have a look."

"Don't pay a premium for second-hand goods. Don't indulge the dealer's temper."

"Ahhhhh. Go check it out, there are so many more released. It must be Brother-in-law Duo who kicked out those who didn't pay. Brother-in-law Duo is the most handsome."

Many people were reminded by this and rushed to buy. Some got it at a bargain price, but some didn’t.

"I need to replace my crappy phone. I logged in at the wrong time. It kept spinning in circles, constantly refreshing, and then this one was sold out, and then that one was sold out. Can you please not put them in the same SKU next time? It's so difficult."

"Oh my god. Go check it out! Apple Xiaotian is looking for babies on Weibo. She wants all four, 5,000 each."

Everyone in the group knew she was a wealthy woman. I guess they didn't get the news this time.

Their most expensive item was only a hundred yuan. Those who waited in line to grab one almost always got one. After all, there were only two minutes left to buy.

No one wants to sell this cotton doll, and who knows if it will be available again next time. After all, that little card has become everyone's obsession.

But the rich fans gave too much.

Anyway, in less than five minutes, she reposted and said she received it.

That night, the factory started packing and shipping the goods one after another.

…

Qingyi Xiaochen is an online blogger who makes doll clothes. She has a group and will snatch up any cotton dolls sold anywhere. She then styles and modifies them to look like them, even undertaking cosmetic surgery.

She liked playing with dolls when she was a child. At that time, she made clothes for the dolls with scraps of cloth and filled a whole box with them. Later, when she stopped playing with them, she carefully put away the dolls.

Later, when the relative's child wanted to take it away, she made a hysterical fuss. The relative's child burst into tears, and the elder relatives also said a lot of nasty things, saying that if she continued like this, she would be a failure all her life.

Who would have thought that after graduation, she didn't go out to look for a job, but made clothes for dolls and could earn more than 300,000 yuan a year.

Those relatives who used to criticize her back then have now changed their tune, saying that they've always admired her since they were little. The fact that she can make doll clothes now is a skill she learned as a child.

When she heard that a doll dress she made could be sold for over 200 yuan, she was so shocked that her mouth twitched. After all, it was just a palm-sized piece of fabric.

This time, it was a classmate who she hadn't contacted for many years who told her about the rush to buy the cotton dolls.

She was lucky enough to get the hardest-to-get hoodie-style doll, and it was quickly shown as shipped.

When she received the doll, she carefully set up the phone holder and recorded the unboxing, so that if the doll had any defects, she would avoid any hassles with after-sales service.

But when she opened it, she saw a super beautiful box, which looked like a luxury cardboard box, pure white, with letters on it.

She was a little surprised that the depth of the box was just right for making a doll scene. She opened the exquisite box, which was filled with some raffia, and found the naked doll inside. She was fascinated by the doll at the first sight.

It is a cute Q version, with super big eyes and a big smile. The doll's face is extremely beautiful.

There is no need for a second plastic surgery at all, just apply some blush on the cheeks.

She found the small clothes in the box. She moved the doll's arms and legs, which were all mounted on brackets with various ball joints, allowing her to effortlessly create various poses. After putting on the clothes, the doll, which was originally a big-eyed cute baby, suddenly became a cool and adorable baby.

She moved it a little, and the pants had tiny hems, as if they were a one-to-one replica, very delicate.

She is in this business and understands its value best. When she was promoting it in a certain book before, she always said that her products were purely handmade, as if pure handmade products were superior to others. But now when she sees the baby clothes produced by the factory, she feels speechless.

If all factories could produce baby clothes of this quality, they would really have no chance of success.

What kind of factory is this? Even the details are so well-made?

She kept combing the doll's hair. She also made a lot of 20-centimeter cotton doll clothes and put them on them.

I found that this doll is super versatile and looks so cute when worn in a casual style.

He looks cool in a suit and even a little skirt. He is obviously a little boy's cotton doll, but his big Q-version eyes have a pitiful and aggrieved look. It's so funny.

Qingyi Xiaochen played for two hours, and when the group started urging for orders, he remembered that he had not made today's baby clothes yet.

She looked at the cotton doll in some disbelief. How long had it been since she had played with a doll so happily since she turned her hobby into a job?

I played for two hours today and still felt unsatisfied. Then I looked at the price and was like, what? Only a hundred yuan?

It is more fun than many dolls that cost three or five hundred yuan.

Looking at the sales channels, after the product is sold out, there is only one purchase instruction.

This is definitely not one of those big stores that specialize in cotton dolls. It's too... exaggerated.

Looking at this doll, she is not a fan, but she suddenly developed some affection for this unknown star.

Even the surrounding areas are made with such care, which shows how much people care about and value the star himself.

She didn't start making baby clothes right away, but instead wrote a long article about her feelings and posted it on Xiaomoushu, the platform where she has the most followers.

She has 200,000 fans on Xiaomoushu, which is considered impressive in the niche field of baby clothes.

Her fans had never seen her praise a doll so much, and their first reaction was to promote it. However, when they searched, they found that the doll had been taken off the shelves long ago.

It’s a celebrity’s peripheral product, and many of his fans haven’t gotten it yet.

So... is it really fun? Now everyone in the kiddie community is getting excited.

When they found out that the clothes for babies were only 100 yuan, they were all defeated.

"Expired wool is the most deadly."

"Oh my god. Why did I just get it?"

"Is this a punishment for not being a fan?"

"Is there anyone who wants to transfer babies? I'll buy them for a high price, 200 yuan for a naked baby."

"The guy upstairs, this doll has been sold for 5,000."

"What???"
