279 The eleventh store.
◎I am just an ordinary businessman. ◎
One day in Guandao is equivalent to five days in the shopping street.
For Lu Yao, time passes even more slowly.
Open during the day and work overtime at night, one night is like three years.
On the surface, the owner seems to have paid off the 10 million loan in just three days, but no one knows the hard work behind it except the Dream System and Alfred.
The big stone that was pressing on her heart was finally removed, and Lu Yao's tense heart was relieved for a moment, but she was already thinking about how to play the new task in her mind.
0815 just sent a message that he would come to the store in the afternoon to discuss project assistance, which might be related to her new task.
The popularity required for the live broadcast mission has nothing to do with the popularity value of the Dream Fulfilling System, but is related to the number of viewers of the store live broadcast, the number of gifts, and the sales of goods. The three will be converted into live broadcast popularity at a certain ratio. If the popularity accumulates to 100 million points within 32 days and a total of 20,000 books are sold through live broadcast, the mission is completed.
When Lu Yao opened his first store snack bar, he also did live broadcast missions.
The content made at that time was relatively rough, and there was no rigid sales target. The charm of the food alone attracted many customers.
The biggest difference between the interstellar age and the dreamland is that this is a world of the living that is highly free and full of temptations. Interstellar navigation, mechanical bodies, electronic computers that upload consciousness, artificial intelligence, holographic technology, painless brain-opening technology...
The technology in this world is far beyond Lu Yao's cognition. Facing a group of guests whose sensory thresholds are infinitely raised, how can ancient and simple books attract their attention and make them willing to open their wallets for them? This is a question that needs careful consideration.
Lu Yao vaguely has some ideas, but there are still many questions that need to be confirmed in an interview with 0815.
...
Two and a half hours later, an airship stopped at the door of the bookstore, and two robot jailers walked down.
0815 and 0877.
They arrived at the store at a good time. The break had just ended and the guests had left one after another.
0815 and 0877 pushed the door open and came in. Lu Yao was packing up the books in the reading room. After receiving all the instructions, he walked to the door and asked them to find a seat.
The glass in the reading room has a good soundproofing effect. Now there are no guests, it is very suitable for talking.
0815 and 0877 chose a seat in the corner and sat down.
Robots don't need to drink water or eat food, so they don't even need to be entertained.
Lu Yao sat down opposite the two and got straight to the point: "Regarding the live broadcast project, I have many details I want to confirm with you two."
0815 was the main contact person, and nodded: "What do you want to ask?"
Lu Yao raised his hand and showed the star ring on his wrist: "I actually want to find the previous live broadcast records, but my star ring permissions are restricted on the island, which is not very convenient. The boss who opened a store here also live broadcasted before. How popular was it at that time?"
After the store in District 8 has been open for a period of time, there will be this assistance project. Lu Yao used the time and space key to understand that this topic is not beyond the line.
However, regarding the live broadcast situation, the Dream Fulfilling System did not find relevant information on the island.
0877 was a little surprised: "Before going to the island, you didn't watch our live broadcast?"
Lu Yao: "...I have watched it, but I was just a spectator at the time and didn't pay attention to the live broadcast. I actually don't like this kind of noisy entertainment, so I usually pay less attention to it."
0877 didn't say anything else.
Before the bookstore appeared, 0877 would indulge in the "noisy entertainment" that the owner mentioned after work, but in recent days he has been immersed in the world of books, and he seems to understand what the owner means.
The tranquility and peace of reading books is indeed difficult to find in other entertainment venues.
0815 opened the Star Ring and sent some data that is difficult to obtain from the outside to Lu Yao.
He lowered his head slightly, a little embarrassed: "Based on confidentiality regulations, Guandao itself is not allowed to release any information outside the island. The permission for resident merchants to broadcast live to the entire star region is a condition that Director Jilan has worked hard to obtain. Every time a new resident merchant broadcasts live, the data is pretty good at the beginning, but it gets worse and worse later, and basically they can't do it for long."
When Guandao first opened up the quota for resident merchants, it attracted a large number of interstellar merchants.
Even though the entry fee is extremely high, merchants who want to settle in are still like crucian carp crossing the river.
After several accidents, money is not as important as life after all, especially in this era where everyone has the opportunity to gain eternal life, the fear of the spirit being strangled is particularly shocking, and the number of resident merchants slowly began to decrease.
Jilan couldn't find a suitable resident merchant, so he spent a lot of effort to get the conditions for live broadcasting from above - after the popularity of the resident store in Guandao reaches a certain level, as long as it abides by strict confidentiality regulations, it can start live broadcasting across the entire star region.
To settle in the eighth district, one must pay a high settlement fee and face life threats at all times.
But if one obtains permission to live broadcast in Guandao, even if one can only live broadcast the business situation in the store, in addition to the revenue from goods, it can still bring many invisible benefits to the store owner.
With this condition, more and more interstellar merchants want to settle in the shops in the eighth district of Guandao, including many big bosses.
However, based on the current data, the effect of live broadcasting in resident stores is not good, far from their expectations.
It was really embarrassing to talk about it. Director Jilan ordered the secretary to hide the live broadcast data, and even did not allow it to be open for inspection on the island.
Because Lu Yao communicated with 0815 on the Star Ring, 0815 temporarily extracted this data.
The light screen floated in front of him, and the live broadcast popularity, number of viewers, sales volume, interactive popularity...all kinds of data were sorted out very carefully.
Lu Yao took a quick look. After the eighth district opened the conditions for live broadcast, the first live broadcast of the first store was the peak of this project so far - the live broadcast popularity exceeded 20 million, and the real-time viewing number exceeded 5 million.
This value was maintained for less than an hour, and the number of viewers began to decline rapidly. Lu Yao didn't quite understand the calculation method of the gifts, and the on-site live broadcast sales were only around 2,000.
The current owner runs a shoe store, and the average price of a pair of shoes is between 200 and 800 Star Coins.
Lu Yao suddenly looked down at the feet of the two prison guards under the table. They were wearing black prison guard uniforms, and their shoes were also custom-made leather boots, which pressed their trouser legs tightly against their calves.
0877 understood and took the initiative to explain: "The uniforms and shoes are both work clothes, and the wearing strength and functionality are different from ordinary shoes, and the cost is also different."
That is to say, the shoes sold by the shoe store owner are not very attractive to the prison guards, and it is estimated that the same is true for the prisoners.
Lu Yao nodded: "Have you studied the reasons for the sudden drop in popularity of this live broadcast?"
0815 pondered: "According to the analysis of real-time messages, it is probably still restricted by confidentiality regulations. We are not allowed to show the true faces of customers in the live broadcast. Whether it is prisoners or prison guards, they will go through some screen processing."
"I roughly understand." Lu Yao nodded, and then said directly: "The first live broadcast was so popular. The audience obviously came for the gimmick of 'Guan Dao', but you wanted to do a live broadcast, but you were secretive and not generous enough. In addition, the boss's products lack core characteristics, so the popularity dropped sharply."
The words were too direct and really unpleasant to hear.
0877: "If Director Jilan hadn't fought hard, no interstellar merchant would dare to broadcast live on Guandao in a hundred years. After all, Guandao is a prison, a place to manage prisoners, and the relevant rules are all concessions for this project. This is the limit of what we can do. In the end, it didn't work out, but it was just because they were not capable enough."
0815 kicked 0877 under the table.
Lu Yao pretended not to hear it and continued to watch. Every time a resident merchant was replaced, the popularity of the first live broadcast was higher than the subsequent ones, but it never reached the popularity of the first live broadcast in District 8.
Before Lu Yao took over this store, the popularity of the live broadcast of the Machinery Lubricant/Lubricant Store was already quite poor, but the popularity of the last live broadcast slightly increased.
Without asking, one would know that the incident of the store owner being held hostage by criminals was on the social news page and attracted a wave of attention.
This kind of timely news is ultimately short-lived and cannot save this bleak project.
Lu Yao found something useful in the information that seemed to be printed with the word "failure" on the screen. The way of interstellar live broadcast is slightly different from the live broadcast she knew.
It cannot be said to be completely different. Interstellar live broadcast can be simply divided into two categories.
One is the more traditional flat live broadcast that is only carried out through a light screen. It is probably the model that Lu Yao is more familiar with. The anchor brings his goods to the small live broadcast room to tell jokes, make plots, display products, and shout hard to attract customers.
The second type is a virtual live broadcast room that combines holographic technology and the functions of the Star Ring. The customer's consciousness can directly reach the virtual live broadcast room through the Star Ring, and the customer can directly touch the goods in the live broadcast room, just like strolling in a real shopping mall.
If it is a live broadcast of a clothing store, the customer can even try it on directly in the virtual live broadcast room.
In the information provided by 0815, the owner of the independent clothing design has live-streamed the site to tailor clothes for customers, and the popularity was quite good at that time.
After the customer takes a fancy to a certain product, he can exit and place an order, deduct the money through the Star Ring, and have the goods delivered to the door by the own interstellar logistics.
However, the main development direction of the technology tree in this world seems to be in the fields of mechanical ascension and robot research, and the development of holographic technology is far behind the Tomorrow City.
Take the virtual live broadcast room as an example. Guests can touch the goods in the live broadcast room, feel its texture, texture, and temperature, but cannot smell it.
If the goods on display are food, only its appearance can be displayed, and guests cannot taste its taste and flavor.
In the virtual world of Tomorrow City, you can buy food with different tastes. Although the taste is bland, you will still feel full for a short time after eating it. This advantage alone makes this technology lead by a large margin.
However, the interstellar virtual live broadcast room connected by the Star Ring is still very interesting. Lu Yuan is very glad that he communicated with the counterpart before making a decision.
Lu Yao reached out and pushed the suspended light screen to the sides, looking at the two prison guards opposite: "I already have an idea about the bookstore live broadcast. But there are some things that need your help."
0877 couldn't understand what the owner was thinking. Her expression when she was thinking was very vivid, but he still couldn't tell what she wanted to do. He almost couldn't wait to ask: "What?"
Lu Yao and the two prison guards discussed the details of the live broadcast room and made a final request: "I hope you can provide logistics services."
0877 was surprised: "You don't want to ship from the island, do you?"
Guandao is an artificial planet. Because of its special function, its location is not shown on the star map.
If you are not a relevant person on the island, you don't know how to get here.
Every time a merchant enters the Eighth District, there is a special guard to pick them up, and the goods can only be transported by a special fleet.
Interstellar merchants who are able to enter the Eighth District basically have more than one store, and very few particularly powerful bosses even have cargo cabins throughout the star region.
The goods they sell on Guandao live broadcast are generally shipped from outside the island.
This is actually the intention of the bosses to take a fancy to this live broadcast room - to use the name of Guandao to expand their own business.
However, the Guandao pie is really hard to chew. Many people failed halfway, not only capsized, lost money, but also got sick.
Lu Yao lowered his head a little embarrassedly and pursed his lips gently: "I am just an ordinary businessman, I can't compare with those big bosses. In order to come here, I bet my entire fortune. The goods and people are all on the island, so I can only ship from here."
0877 said without thinking: "Impossible. You definitely can't do that. There is no interstellar courier on the island."
Luyao shook his head helplessly: "So your department can't generate income. Your brain is not flexible at all. There is no courier on the island. Your department can build a temporary post station. We can cooperate. Just give me a reasonable quote. The packages in my store are sent out every day along with the fruits and vegetables from the vegetable base, the clothes from the sewing workshop, and the tables, chairs and benches from the furniture workshop. It costs a little and it doesn't take much effort."
There are often customers coming to the Ninth District. There is no need to ask them actively. You can understand the general projects there by listening to their conversations. This information is not a secret.
0877 suddenly felt the owner's cunning.
She said it very tactfully, but to the point.
This is not difficult, and it can also bring in extra income.
However, since the Eighth District's assistance program was launched, no merchant has ever actually shipped goods from the island.
This is due to security regulations, and it will never change because of a small businessman's proposal.
0877 slowly clenched his hands on the table into fists, and his attitude was gentler than before: "No means no."
Lu Yao continued: "For every sale through live broadcast, the store will deduct the postage from the sales, and give an additional 1% to the Eighth District... Well, 3%, this is the biggest concession I can make. If you still can't do it, then I can only give up this aid project."
0815 silently calculated in his mind, assuming that the cheapest book costs 50,000 star coins, and the fee is charged at a rate of 3%, then one book will cost 1,500 star coins.
Because books are expensive, even if they only take 3% of each order, the accumulated fees are considerable.
If they agree to build an additional post station for the bookstore, there will be a postage income.
This part of the income is still a considerable profit after deducting various costs.
0877 has already calculated the bill in his mind, and he can no longer say it cleanly.
0877 turned his head to look at 0815, but unfortunately the two iron masks could not communicate their specific thoughts even if they blinked their eyes.
They had never seen such a bold and efficient store owner, and they felt like they were being forced into a dead end when negotiating with her.
But she has to hang a carrot in front of you, and then stand aside to watch you struggle.
Finally, 0815 stood up and said, "We can't decide on this matter. We will contact you after discussing with the director." Lu Yao
stood up and saw them to the door: "Looking
forward to hearing from you." After everyone left, they all spoke, feeling very distressed: "We have to pay for postage and take 3%. This is too much of a rip-off."
Lu Yao: "Without their involvement, we can't do it. Apart from anything else, the package must be delivered by the customs. Island. It's only 3%, don't feel bad. It's estimated that there will be a reply soon. I still need to think carefully about the construction of the live broadcast room and the goods during the live broadcast. "
Jun still felt bad: "3% is too much."
Lu Yao: "It's okay, we will double the profit."
Lu Yao returned to the reading room and continued to pack up the trial books that he had not finished packing. The mobile phone in his pocket kept ringing with new message notifications.
The owner was busy with the bookstore work during this period. Most of the time, she kept abreast of the situation of other stores through the map on the store manager's panel. She hadn't been in the employee group for a long time.
The clerk didn't dare to disturb her. It seemed that she talked a lot about the new store in the group.
[Author's words]
Horror story: 0496 brought a pile of books back to the dormitory, and accidentally saw the back of the plant atlas that I exchanged with the store owner, and was struck by lightning.
