How much should I add?
"200!"
"Hey, I thought it would be much. I'll add 500 for you, and let me go first."
"What? You go first? Brother Lin, I'll give you an extra 800! I'll go first!"
"I have 1000!"
"I have 2000!"
"Hey, bosses, stop arguing. I'm not that kind of person. I'm not going to make it 200. I'm honest and fair. But I don't accept cash. I only accept payment methods that are reasonable."
"Brother Lin, we're all Taobao merchants, why don't you use Alipay?"
"Are you stupid? If I introduce Taobao merchants to Panda TV, would I still dare to use Alipay? What if Alibaba bans my account?"
"Oh, right, you're right. I really forgot about that. You wait here, I'll go download Huasuan Pay right now."
"Haha, you can't do that. I can transfer money directly using Mixin. Here, Brother Lin, I've already transferred it to you. I'm the first one."
"Yes, I know. I'll definitely arrange it for you first."
"Hey? Old Wang, how do you know all this?"
"Oh, my daughter is in college, and young people like to use Mixin to chat, so she installed it for me. Hey, you know what? It's pretty convenient to use. You can just press and hold to send voice messages without typing. It's like a walkie-talkie. Isn't that amazing?"
"It's so useful! I'll download it too."
In this way, Lin Xixi not only collected an extra 200 yuan from each merchant, but also promoted Huasuan Pay and MiXin for free.
Jack Ma thought to himself, "This time there shouldn't be any problems, right? No matter what, we're serving Taobao merchants. Even if, like last time, the entire live stream time is booked by one merchant, it's still serving Taobao, which means their business is doing well."
At worst, Taobao Live can just keep recruiting new streamers, so they can take orders from other merchants.
Therefore, he specifically called the data department to inquire, and the data department stated that all data was normal and that the situation had not occurred as before.
This put his mind at ease.
He just didn't expect that this time it was only because Huang Zheng was a step behind, and the previous orders hadn't been broadcast live yet, so the data that Ma Yun saw was normal.
A few days later, Pinduoduo once again monopolized the Taobao live stream, with the entire live stream paid for by Pinduoduo!
Huang Zheng and Zhang Yong arranged to get foot massages while splitting the kickbacks. The young women getting the foot massages couldn't help but lift their skirts a little as they listened to the two men talking about millions or tens of millions of dollars.
Lin Chen happily accepted the money from the Taobao merchants, helped them jump the queue to livestream and sell goods on the Panda TV platform, and even received a thank you in the end.
This made Lin Chen feel like he was a truly helpful and exemplary young man!
And so, Taobao Live's subsidy program continued for another half month, and Zhang Yong, Huang Zheng, and Lin Chen all made a fortune. Of course, Jack Ma thought so too.
He ran into the young man who had previously given him a tip in the elevator again.
"Hey, young man, what a coincidence."
"Mr. Ma, hello, what a coincidence."
Seeing the young man's constipated expression, Jack Ma asked him with concern.
"What's wrong, young man? Do you need to use the restroom? Or you can just press any floor button and go down first?"
"No, no, Mr. Ma, there's just something I don't know how to tell you."
"What is it? Please speak freely, hahaha."
"Exactly, I feel like something's off about this event."
"Huh? Something's not right. Didn't I tell your data department to run the data and observe it before? Did you run the data?"
"I was the one who ran it, but that was only for the first few days, and there were no problems at all."
"Then everything's fine, right? Why does it feel off again?"
"I ran the data again today and found that the same situation occurred again, but I don't know if this is normal."
"What? You're saying we've encountered the same situation as last time? Is it one of our Taobao merchants?"
"That's true."
Jack Ma breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the merchants were his own Taobao sellers, there was no problem.
"That's not a big problem. Anyway, they're all serving our Taobao merchants. We should try our best to meet their needs, no matter what they have. We can't refuse them just because they have too many orders. If we do that, will any big merchants dare to come to us in the future?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ma is right. It seems I still have a lot to learn."
"Haha, young man, you've already done very well. Keep it up, I believe in you!"
After thinking for a moment, Jack Ma took out his phone and called Zhang Yong.
"Zhang Yong, how come another merchant has monopolized all the orders on Taobao Live?"
"Huh? Mr. Ma, really? Didn't you say the data was normal before?"
“I just heard about it too. Go and check it out. If there are no problems with the merchants, then quickly recruit more live streamers. We also need to take orders from other merchants.”
We must treat everyone equally. We can't reject someone just because their order is small. If we do that, will any small businesses dare to come to us in the future?
"Yes, Mr. Ma, I'll take care of it right away."
At this moment, the young man next to me was practically burning out: Wait a minute, why does this sound so familiar? Mr. Ma is indeed Mr. Ma; it seems I still have a lot to learn!
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yong didn't even need to verify anything. What was there to verify? He knew exactly what was going on. So, he skipped the verification step and went straight to the process of recruiting live streamers.
Moreover, in order to show Jack Ma his hard-working side, he personally interviewed each of the female anchors.
However, he soon experienced the same joy that Little Ma had felt back then.
What an amazing job! Every day I see a group of talented, long-legged, slim-waisted ladies speaking softly to me, singing and dancing for me, hoping to hear the word "pass" from my mouth.
No wonder the emperor stopped holding morning court from then on. Can we blame the emperor for this?
Moreover, Zhang Yong only recruits young female college students as anchors; he rejects all those who are already anchors.
Because he saw what those female anchors looked like without makeup, beauty filters, and special effects—it was simply…
It has to be a female college student anchor, all natural and unpolluted.
After the recruitment was completed, Zhang Yong had the newly recruited female anchors learn from the veteran anchors, starting with some basic assistant work, learning and observing as they went, and mastering the anchors' talking techniques and skills.
The female college student anchors obediently agreed. After all, they had just started working, so of course they would do whatever the company assigned them. Besides, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it; they were learning by doing.
At the same time, Zhang Yong also instructed the veteran anchors to do their best to mentor the newcomers for the sake of the company's development.
