Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Games, Storm
The online popularity is gradually growing.
Jiang Heng knew it.
Because the number of likes reached 100, the little cousin started to report to her loudly. When it reached 500, she was already jumping up and down.
It scared the furry kid who came to use the air conditioner because it was too hot at noon. He looked at the two-legged beast in front of him hesitantly, wondering if it was sick.
However, when asked whether he wanted to expose the store to the public, Jiang Heng hesitated.
It's nothing else.
It’s just that the store’s traffic is already large enough, and production can’t keep up, which only makes it even more difficult for customers who already have difficulty purchasing.
There is no need to rush at this moment.
In the second half of the month, lettuce and spinach can be harvested. Let's see how the purchasing situation is.
If there is excess production capacity, we can promote it.
Seeing that the two videos posted by my cousin are becoming a little popular, even after ten or twenty days, they should be able to attract some traffic. But at the same time, we must be prepared. Hers is obviously a niche and high-priced store, and once it is posted online, there will definitely be some unfavorable comments.
Qin Siqi was quite open-minded. She had seen all the scandals on the Internet. This was the price of being famous!
When the number of likes reached 1,000, the kid started to hesitate whether to delete the... well, the ghost videos he had posted before, as if it would pollute the quality of the previous two videos.
Jiang Heng thought it was okay, since it was just for fun, so he just followed her wishes.
Qin Siqi gritted his teeth and deleted it.
Because she considered the issue of privacy leakage at the reminder of her friends.
What if it really becomes popular?!
It turns out that sometimes luck really does come your way.
The number of likes keeps increasing.
Although it didn’t get hundreds of thousands of likes like those amazing videos, it got over 5,000 likes on the first day and exceeded 10,000 on the third day.
The popularity subsequently faded, but her 800 fans have become just over 1,000, and some people are urging her to release the next video.
Qin Siqi was already very enthusiastic, and after being flattered like this, he felt even more dizzy.
It just so happened that no one had filmed the mushrooms, so she filmed them one by one. Since she couldn't pick mushrooms with Jiang Heng, she asked Jiang Heng to record the video while they were picking mushrooms, and she only needed to film the cooking video. She could edit a video every few days. The video was filmed well, and the editing technique was also very pleasing to the viewers. The number of likes for each video was increasing, and the highest one reached more than 30,000 likes.
Apart from releasing a video every now and then, Qin Siqi tried hard to restrain himself from replying to comments, considering that the more he said, the more mistakes he made. This was the only update he made online.
And in the past ten days, everything has gone according to plan.
Except for the fact that we were unable to pick mushrooms and blueberries due to rain, everything else went as usual.
Every other day, about 130 to 140 kilograms of goods are put on the online store, and they are sold out in seconds every time.
Previously, there were very few items on the shelves, the order volume was also small, and each product did not receive many positive reviews.
With the release of cucumbers, large and small tomatoes, the positive reviews have visibly increased.
Jiang Heng's income also increased visibly.
Every Monday, I can sell around 100,000 dried mushrooms alone.
On the following four days, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, about 4,000 worth of vegetables and fruits will be sold. The daily order is about 15,000. Since there are no new products on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the income is around 4,000 each time, which is a lot lower than before. At the same time, there are also a lot more new customers.
Adding her previous income, excluding wages, furniture purchases, daily expenses, etc., her originally dwindling total savings has exceeded 500,000!
This is because the online store revenue is not received immediately, and it takes a long time to confirm receipt, otherwise a large sum of money can be recovered.
It just so happened that it was mid-July and the various subsidies that I had applied for previously were finally received.
Yesterday, Friday, Jiang Heng paid the three-year contract fee in one go. The subsidy helped to reduce a lot of expenses. Even for three years, it only cost less than 200,000 yuan. Starting from the fourth year, the subsidy was much less, but compared with the contract fee of just over 100,000 yuan, it was still a lot of money.
So Jiang Heng's money was reduced by a lot again.
But their village is rich now!
At the end of the year, each household can get a good amount of dividends.
After paying the contract fee, Jiang Heng finally felt like he was debt-free.
I just returned to the village and owed a large sum of money to my relatives. After paying them off, I owed the village a large sum of money again. Now all the money has been paid off.
Starting from the fourth year, she only needs to transfer money to the village account step by step every year, and she can earn the annual contract fee in less than a month.
Jiang Heng herself is feeling happy these days.
So the speed of cultivation is even faster.
When Jiang Heng woke up on Saturday morning, he found that he had made another breakthrough!
The sixth level of Qi Refining.
The pleasant mushroom and blueberry picking trip ended at eight o'clock. When we got home, Qin Siqi was already up.
I get up around seven o'clock every day.
He got up later than Jiang Heng and Chen Aying, but it was still early. He would even take a nap at noon. He successfully did not have the same schedule as his friends, so he played games alone.
For example, at this moment, it was past nine o'clock. Jiang Peng went to deliver the goods, and the remaining goods were also sorted out. Qin Siqi, who had nothing else to do, started playing games alone.
Jiang Heng hadn't thought about it at first, but when he saw her playing the game, he suddenly realized that he hadn't harvested vegetables for several days, so he started playing her farming game. However, he was on the verge of quitting the game and was not very active in growing vegetables in the game.
While playing, a head popped up next to me: "Sister, you have reached the top of this game, it's boring, how about we change the game?"
Jiang Heng understood and handed over the phone: "Help me download it."
Qin Siqi immediately took it happily and took her sister to play with full confidence.
This is a 5v5 mobile game.
It requires teamwork, and everyone has different divisions of labor. The goal is to push the tower. Jiang Heng listened to the explanation. Hmm, it sounded very familiar. It seemed that her previous colleagues would occasionally mention it. However, at that time, the company was full of rollicking people, and they rarely talked about it.
Jiang Heng's life at that time was very "fulfilling" every day. She hardly watched short videos or anything like that. Even though it became a national game, she never touched it.
Now a complete novice, I listened to my cousin’s explanation and immediately said, “I play shooter!”
she!
The world of immortal cultivation has been playing with bows and arrows for hundreds of years!
——
So Jiang Heng was led by his little cousin onto the road of no return in the game.
Qin Siqi plays mid-lane and particularly likes to hide in the grass. Teach her where to hide in the grass and she will hit the target accurately.
Jiang Heng...just happens to like squatting too.
If the squishy shooter doesn't hide and hasn't developed yet, it's simply a waste of time. The two of them have very similar game concepts. Apart from the fact that their favorite lanes are not connected, there is no other impact. After the novice tutorial at the beginning, I tried to play two matches and got the hang of it quickly.
Two games with each hero is enough.
Just as Jiang Heng was about to try to rank up, Qin Siqi's phone started beeping.
She had no choice but to interrupt her queue and answer the phone: "What's wrong? Why are you up so early?"
It’s only ten o’clock. At this time, people who like to stay up late are not awake yet.
I heard a young girl's anxious voice on the other end of the phone: "Hurry up and check your video account, something seems to have happened! I sent your video and online store to my mom. She just saw someone saying your store's prices are unscrupulous, so she woke me up. Damn, that's scary! I was dozing off, but suddenly I was alert..."
Jiang Heng and Qin Siqi exchanged a glance. The latter responded and hung up the phone first: "If you have anything to say, let's talk on QQ!"
They both quickly turned on their phones.
One looks at the video account, and the other looks at the online store.
Jiang Heng can see a lot of messages in the background as soon as she clicks in. The number of inquiries has remained at about a dozen a day recently. Because there is not much to inquire about her products, the prices are clearly marked and the stocks are replenished at regular times and locations. There are only some customers who come in by mistake and raise some questions. The other customers want long-term supply, or if they can't find the goods, they hope the store owner can open a separate link for them to buy.
At this time, the number of inquiries has reached 99+.
[Why are you charging so much? Is this test certificate fake?]
[Boss, it seems like some people are scolding you online. You have to hold on. Don't pay attention to those words. We all think it's delicious. Your almost 100% positive reviews can prove it!]
[Black-hearted boss, selling it at such a high price, are you making a fortune? ]
[I'm from the short video business. Boss, do you think the Industry and Commerce Bureau really agrees to this price?]
[Boss, the hands in the video aren't yours, are they? You're a young lady, right? Your hands are so pretty!]
[Sorry, sorry, I thought the video account was your new streaming account. I had a coupon there, but couldn't find the purchase link, so I asked about it. I didn't expect everyone to ask about it, and someone even mentioned your store. I'm sorry...]
[Boss, I'm sorry. I thought everyone wanted to buy your food, so I sent the name of your store. I didn't expect it to get like this. I've deleted the reply, but it was screenshotted...]
Is it truly natural and pesticide-free? What if the test shows pesticide residue? Can I get compensation?
[Boss, why is it out of stock? Isn't this marketing? I really want to buy it, please restock it!]
【……】
There were both good and bad comments, including some extreme ones that questioned and even insulted her store, saying the prices were unscrupulous.
There are always people like this in this world who will insult others without verifying anything when they find something they are dissatisfied with.
Jiang Heng believes that among the many customers before, there must be many customers who have questioned whether her dishes are really worth the price, but they may be recommended by relatives and friends. The customers are all normal. Even if they question the price, they are normal and polite. After purchasing, they become loyal customers.
Unlike the frowned-on words used nowadays.
It seems like he is just venting his frustration.
*
Qin Siqi pursed her lips and read the comments, trying to find out the cause and effect.
Seeing her face getting paler and paler, Jiang Heng simply snatched the phone away: "Put your phone away, you can't play with it for the time being."
Qin Siqi looked eagerly and asked, "Sister, do you know what's going on?"
After seeing those somewhat scary comments, her mind went blank and she didn't see any useful information.
Jiang Heng explained truthfully: "A customer saw the video and realized it was from our store. She thought it was a promotional video for the store. She happened to have a coupon on the app and wanted to buy it, so she asked about it. Then netizens discovered it was the store and asked for the name. Another customer happened to see it and mentioned the store name."
Qin Siqi pursed his lips when he heard that and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
If this were in a comic, it would look like two fried egg eyes.
She complained: "What does this have to do with us?!"
Jiang Heng chuckled and rubbed her head. "It's okay. It's always like this. Anything posted online will cause a lot of discussion, and there will definitely be people who will take the opportunity to vent their emotions. Didn't I tell you this before? Do you remember what you said then?"
Qin Siqi: "But... after actually experiencing it, I realized it was completely different from just watching from the sidelines... It's so scary..."
Jiang Heng said gently, "But this isn't your fault. They're concerned that my shop's prices are too high and they think I'm cheating them. I was wondering if a customer who stumbled into our shop by mistake would be caught. Now they're just a little early."
This is the truth, I'm not trying to comfort my cousin.
Since she sets her prices so high, she can often hear people who don’t buy from her muttering things like, “She’s so mean, the prices are so high, only a bunch of fools would buy from her.”
If this kind of talk is posted online, it will only be amplified countless times.
Even if she doesn't post a video, as her store's influence grows, sooner or later she will encounter people who will put her online, and it will be too late now.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "When I first started selling vegetables at such high prices, some people even said I was robbing them."
Qin Siqi's eyes widened: "Ah? Then, did they do anything to you?"
Jiang Heng said calmly, "Face to face, what's the big deal? Anyway, this customer is now a regular at our stall. They can only speak so harshly because they are connected to the internet. If they were in real life, they would definitely not do this."
Qin Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, but was still unwilling to accept it: "So we're just going to let them scold us like this?"
Jiang Heng pulled out her phone and put on a sly, slightly cocky smile. "Of course not. Reasonable doubt is normal, but inciting trouble, malicious speculation, and verbal insults are illegal. Most people don't pursue it because they don't have the energy or money, and it just so happens that your sister and I both have both."
Qin Siqi: “!”
Then she stared blankly at Jiang Heng as he called a man named Lawyer Luo.
After transferring a sum of money as a deposit and sending the online store account and Qin Siqi's video account information, the matter was settled.
In less than an hour, the other party said that the evidence had been collected.
Jiang Heng also cooperated by posting a pinned reply on both her online store and the video: [This matter has been fully entrusted to Mingjing Law Firm. The relevant comments and information have been registered. Lawyer's letters will be delivered one by one...]
——
At half past eleven, everything that needed to be done was done.
No explanation, no self-evidence.
Direct attack.
Although Jiang Heng had been off the internet for hundreds of years, she knew that speech was the most difficult thing to control, and she didn't want to be too well-known. Even if she planted all the contracted area without leaving any gaps, it would only be a planting area of more than 200 acres. The rest was mountainous land, and there were still no fruit trees. Therefore, it could not supply too many people.
She has no desires or demands for these people, so naturally she will be tough to the end.
After the pinned message was sent, the official account of "Mingjing Law Firm" also came to the video account to interact and explain the progress of the commissioned task.
Qin Siqi was not as fragile as imagined.
After all, he is still a rebellious teenager.
Therefore, after discovering her cousin's decisive counterattack, she also stood up again. The underage child also straightened her back, insisted on returning her phone, stopped playing games, and concentrated on observing the situation. If someone scolded her, she would immediately record the screen and click on the other party's homepage to record it, and then forward the information to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng was also happy about this.
It's boring to just cry when you are bullied.
I will fight back.
Therefore, every time I say seriously, "I have forwarded it to the lawyer, and they will register it immediately."
"Siqi is awesome! You can find even the most obscure words here."
But this situation soon disappeared because——
The little girl excitedly held up her phone and said, "Sister, it was deleted again! I saw a lot of them just now, but now they are all gone..."
"Wow, the online store couldn't withdraw the order, so they apologized. Hahahaha..."
"When you cursed, you were so extreme, I thought you were awesome!"
Jiang Heng was eating. While waiting, she went to Pond No. 1 and caught two fish. She felt wronged today, so she had to have a good meal. She couldn't eat other meat, but she had enough fish. One was steamed, the other was stewed, and she also had a plate of super delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of spinach with garlic. Three dishes and one soup would make it a complete meal.
She glanced at the person who was only focused on his phone and had barely eaten a bite of his meal. "Wow, that's great! But just a reminder, we're running out of time for dinner. It's almost twelve o'clock, and we need to start packing and shipping. Today is Saturday."
Saturday, the day for online store restocking!
Qin Siqi was startled. He looked at the time again and saw that there were only fifteen minutes left. He hurriedly said, "Let's eat now!"
Take a quick bite of rice and a piece of steamed sea bass.
The sea bass meat is so tender and delicious!
The scallions were drizzled with hot oil, which brought out a strong scallion aroma. When it fell on the fish, the aroma became much lighter and mixed with the sweetness of the fish, it was particularly delicious.
Another spoonful of spinach.
The spinach in a small vegetable patch nearby has not grown up yet, but the two acres of spinach and lettuce that were replanted in late June are already ready to be harvested. They picked a lot today, not only to supply them to Jiang Peng for delivery, but also because they thought that the things in the online store would not be sold out in seconds.
It is fresh and tender, covered with minced garlic, and tastes great even without being put in the hot pot.
I heard that a hot pot restaurant owner has privately chatted with Jiang Peng three times in the past few days, just to find out when the spinach will grow up. Today, when he received the news that the spinach was back on the shelves, he wanted to drive over directly to get it, but was unfortunately rejected.
Wrap the soft and tender spinach with a ball of rice and put it into your mouth. Chew it and then drink a sip of the delicious fish soup, and you will feel refreshed all over.
All the unpleasantness of the morning disappeared, and my mind was filled with the heavy workload today.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Peng, who didn't cook, was responsible for washing the dishes, while Jiang Heng used the computer merchant backend to replenish the goods.
At twelve o'clock, the goods become available for sale on time.
Today we sold a total of 50 kilograms of cucumbers, 50 kilograms of large tomatoes, 40 kilograms of small tomatoes, 15 kilograms of blueberries, 300 heads of lettuce, and 200 kilograms of spinach.
The total weight of the goods is about four or five hundred kilograms.
But it was still sold out in seconds.
Three hundred heads of lettuce and two hundred kilograms of spinach were not enough to keep the sales going for any longer.
However, the order address distribution is completely even.
Now that's better.
Many old customers have been squeezed out, and I am afraid they will cry again.
These new guests...
In the backend, one can see which customers have ordered once and which have ordered several times. Compared with the past, the proportion of new customers has increased from less than 10% to 60%. Jiang Heng is a little confused. Faced with such expensive products that are far above the market price, aren't they afraid of learning a lesson by placing an order?
How come there are still so many new customers eager to buy?!
——
Xiang Qiongshi silently looked at the result of her watching the excitement—
Two heads of lettuce, a pound of blueberries, a pound of cherry tomatoes, and one hundred and fifty yuan missing from Alipay, I was a little confused.
She's just a fun person.
I usually just eat melons and watch the fun, never express my own opinions, and at most when I see a beautiful woman I shout "Sister, kill me!"
It’s just a face control, those who understand will understand.
Not to mention that she has already agreed to never buy those marketed products again.
result……
I found out that the food video I watched once, twice or three times a few days ago was actually a marketing promotion for a store.
The prices of goods in this store are sky-high!
The mushrooms inside are expensive.
Vegetables.
How dare you sell it for thirty yuan per pound?!
Some people made righteous accusations, some took advantage of the situation to gain popularity, and some simply liked to stir up trouble. Anyway, this matter only caused a small-scale uproar. When she watched it, there were only a few hundred likes. But when she looked for it this time, the number of likes on this video had exceeded 50,000.
The number of likes for other videos also increased rapidly.
Even in the short video track with huge traffic, this number of likes is very good.
The comment section has collapsed.
Some accuse merchants of hunger marketing, unscrupulous pricing, PUA customers, fake orders and fake reviews, and even accuse merchants of deliberately setting such high prices to attract attention, and say that the test reports must be fake and there is no way there are no pesticide residues, or that there are some other technological tricks that do not fall under the category of pesticides.
Some people spoke up for themselves, saying that if the product quality is really as stated in the test report, then the price is still acceptable. There are many people who pay three-digit prices for a serving of vegetables in those high-end restaurants, and the boss doesn't use any tricks. He clearly marks the prices and doesn't even participate in any discount activities on the app itself. In this case, both the buyer and the seller are willing, so there's nothing to blame, right?
But most of these words were drowned out by more intense rhetoric.
If it was just this, Xiang Qiongshi would have taken a few glances to satisfy her curiosity and then retreated.
As soon as the results were refreshed, a pinned message popped up.
The merchant did not give any explanation and directly hired a lawyer to take action.
The lawyer said that someone paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan and asked them to collect evidence one by one to sue others.
And this isn’t just any small law firm!
Enthusiastic netizens showed up to explain the power of this law firm, leaving Xiang Qiongshi dumbfounded by this originally ordinary farce.
No, aren’t merchants so tough?
So there was a massive deletion of comments.
【This is so funny, the comment is deleted right now?】
[Such a quick reaction, could it be that he has been watching the whole time? ]
[It is well known that murderers love to return to the scene to view their work (side-eye smile)]
Hey, hey, hey, I just said something to a business owner, and someone accused me of leaning towards the capitalists. Actually, I just said we should wait and see the specific situation before making any decisions. He was really fierce at the time, but why is he deleting the comment now?
[Just hire a lawyer to sue. I've already paid a 100,000 yuan deposit. Who wouldn't be scared?! The boss is so handsome! I love him...]
[I'm used to it. Some people have no rationality at all.]
[The boss is so tough, he doesn't say a single unnecessary word, and doesn't even try to prove himself]
[The boss didn't do anything, did he? A little girl posted a short video, and it got all the attention. It's really unlucky. I saw it a few days ago, and I thought it was pretty good, so I even gave her some encouragement. But last night, I realized something was amiss.]
【Why are you being targeted? 】
[It was actually discovered by an obscure marketing account at first. They made some exaggerated complaints and then posted the video. That video went viral, and that’s when a lot of people got to know about this video account. Otherwise, why would this video, which was only half a month old, suddenly become such a big deal?]
[(Smiling) It seems you're quite concerned about the boss? Don't worry, I won't delete the comment. I'll just leave it there. Am I wrong? We're all normal vegetable farmers, so why are they charging such high prices? If not shady money, what is it?! The 100,000 yuan deposit and legal fees are probably all shady money. How else can a vegetable farmer have so much money?!]
【6666 If you have the ability, don’t delete it】
…
That's how Xiang Qiongshi found the online store.
The law firm said they'd paid a 100,000 yuan deposit and that all the accounts needed to be settled clearly. This isn't a major financial dispute, so how many lawsuits would it take to use up the deposit? Not to mention there seemed to be no cap on the final payment.
The boss is so tough!
Xiang Qiongshi's numb heart was aroused by the various amusement activities. She couldn't help but want to see what was going on in this shop. How could it be so tough?!
I found that not only the promotional video of this store is mouth-watering, but also the promotional pictures.
It's a pity that they are all sold out at the moment.
Although other products can be added to the shopping cart, they cannot be purchased, and the inventory of each product is also displayed, which is very low.
The key point is that each product recommendation picture actually says that it will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Saturdays every week. The quantity is limited and it is on a first-come, first-served basis.
To be honest, apart from the promotional pictures and videos, everything else about this store touched her sore spot.
Pre-sale is really troublesome!
The quantity is limited and you have to snatch the tickets. She has never been able to get the tickets for her favorite singer’s concert!
But after clicking on each product one by one and looking at the positive reviews below the products that were obviously from real people, Xiang Qiongshi began to get eager to try it, and just at this moment, the time had come.
She just added a few items to the shopping cart.
So before the brain could react, the hands had already clicked to buy, checkout, and pay.
All in one go!
One hundred and fifty yuan is gone.
If it doesn’t taste good…
Xiang Qiongshi looked at the comments again, as well as the inquiries here 'Ask those who have purchased it'. Without exception, all of them said that it was delicious. Even if there were complaints, it was about there being too few stocks and sometimes not being able to get it.
Forget it, I won’t necessarily step on a landmine this time.
The same thing, I bought it.
If it doesn’t taste good again, she will definitely swear again that she will never buy these marketing products again!!!
——
There were also some guests who came to watch the fun and happened to see the refresh at 12 o'clock.
Um?
Can I buy it now?
Thinking about the merchant's promotional slogans and looking at the inventory, without waiting for their brains to react, they quickly clicked on the direct purchase option, paid, scanned their faces, and the transaction was completed.
Some people are still a little dazed after buying it.
Is this really not just a promotional tactic for businesses? This sense of urgency is truly incredible.
After buying it, besides feeling a little sad, I was also a little... surprised.
There were so many people in the comment section complaining about not getting the prize, but she actually got it!
*
At the same time.
Lei Jigang deleted a complaining video that had finally gone viral, looking unwilling, and saw the message on his phone: [Purchase failed, insufficient quantity of goods], his face turned green.
Fortunately, the assistant said happily at this time: "Brother Lei, I bought it! I bought all of them!"
Lei Jigang's expression improved: "Okay, take a screenshot and I'll send you a preview."
The assistant nodded quickly and sent him a screenshot.
Soon, a new blog post with pictures and text appeared under the "Heaven is Thunderstruck" complaint account: [Some people say I'm exaggerating and complaining without any evidence. Now I've bought it. I heard that the express delivery is the next day. Tomorrow night I will be a review blogger on the live broadcast. Let me see if the sky-high price of vegetables is worth it (looking forward to the jpg)]
