On the screen (bullet comments).
"Time gives civilization history, and LeBron James is truly eloquent. I love it and have already placed an order."
"Even after taking LeBron James' online course, I still have to make up for one more order!"
"James, stop talking now. You need to restock. It's all sold out."
"No, you've already bought everything before I even finished introducing it. I haven't bought anything yet. I especially love that butterfly; its wings are so beautiful."
…
Finally, seeing the doll-like woman next to him blinking repeatedly, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, Zhan Chengwen stopped telling the story of bamboo weaving and asked, "Xiao Hui, are you feeling unwell?"
The doll sister rubbed her forehead and said, "Brother Wen, we're over time! If you keep going, we won't be able to talk about anything else today."
Moreover, the bamboo-woven insects are sold out.
Zhan Chengwen was slightly embarrassed: "Okay!"
"I'm dying of laughter. James really thought he was giving a lecture. He was talking about ancient poems, history, and schools of thought. He even went over time in the end."
"Look how anxious our doll sister is, her eyes are all red from blinking."
"Am I the only one who noticed Watson sitting alone in the corner, drinking tea and chuckling to himself? He's definitely a slacker."
…
In the live stream, the doll-like woman placed a bag of rice in front of the live stream platform: "This is rice produced in our small town, Xiashan rice. I won't take up any more time. Brother Wen, keep it brief, and watch my signals later!"
"Look, she broke down the doll sister's defenses in one go. How can the live stream continue smoothly now?"
"You think you can just blink at me? Do you think you're the only one who can do what you're told? How about you come to my house and have a go?"
"When others are selling their goods, family members, I'll count to three, everyone hurry up and grab them, hurry up and grab them, or they'll be gone."
LeBron James's product promotion left netizens confused. Wasn't it already sold out? Why was he still discussing its history and culture?
"Haha, other people's live-streaming sales are all fast-paced, they say things like, 'It's cheap here, hurry up and buy, buy, buy!' If LeBron were to say these things, it would probably be more painful than being beaten to death. But since it's also doing a good deed for his hometown, I can only talk about culture."
…
Zhan Chengwen glanced at the rice on the table and said:
"This is rice produced in our town. We are a town located in Yunmengze."
An ancient poem says, "The place where I slept my fill all my life is the southern land of Yunmengze!" Yunmengze has been the Jiangnan water town in the mouths of poets since ancient times.
In ancient poems, Yunmengze is described as a river of misty water reflecting the clear sky, with houses on both banks connected by painted eaves, and water lilies amidst a patch of pale autumn light.
They watched the seagulls dance again and again, as the fragrant breeze rolled up the ten-mile-long beaded curtain. Painted boats arrived from the horizon, and wine flags fluttered in the wind.
This is how the ancients saw Yunmengze, a place with charming and alluring colors, and a graceful and misty beauty.
And even today? She is still stunningly beautiful.
While you are writing work reports, dandelion seeds have already drifted away on the mountain road.
While you're engrossed in the game, the rapeseed flowers in your hometown have already bloomed, covering the mountains and fields in a golden sea.
While you are in your car, woodpeckers in the woods are teaching their chicks to fly.
While you are arguing with someone, the lotus seeds in the pond and the mulberries in the woods ripen.
This is our hometown! It's still so beautiful.
There's always some air you can't smell in the midst of superficial glamour.
There are always people you can't meet in some cities.
There are always some childhood memories that we can't let go of.
We saw the rhythmic sway of the rice paddies in the wind, the chirping of cicadas in the summer night, and the heartfelt joy of a bountiful harvest…
"I'm so moved, I'll buy it, I'll buy it, okay?"
"You're making me homesick. I inexplicably ordered three bags. Will I be able to finish them all?"
"Is this rice? This is cultured rice. I placed ten orders. I love listening to James talk. It's so comforting."
…
In the following period, some more agricultural products were sold, and Hua Disheng also cracked jokes and was urged by netizens to research some useful products.
The live stream has ended, and all items are sold out!
Multiple hashtags, including "Doll Sister's First Broadcast," "Zhan Chengwen Helps His Hometown," "Zhan Chengwen's Literary Talent," and "Huadisheng Makes His Own Car," trended on social media.
Many brands that had previously been rejected by Hou Wenjie have contacted Banana Media again.
Many manufacturers have recognized Banana Media's strength.
Doll Sister is already a top female internet celebrity on Douyin.
Zhan Chengwen is regarded as a cultural icon by many netizens because of his rich cultural knowledge.
With his quirky thought process, useless inventions, and eccentric personality, Watson has a large number of die-hard fans within a specific group of people on Douyin.
Stephen Chow's acting skills in "Close Combat Agent" have also garnered him a large following among netizens and attracted the attention of investors.
It's fair to say that investors went crazy when they saw the first live stream generate over ten million in sales and all products sell out.
The commercial value of these individuals has skyrocketed in the eyes of investors.
It's worth noting that while celebrities and internet influencers have been invited to speak and commentate on live-streaming e-commerce before, the results have generally been mediocre.
Live-streaming e-commerce is merely a supplement to online e-commerce sales; to put it bluntly, it's a complement to the industry chain, more of an embellishment.
But no one expected that such big waves could be created in this shallow water.
It turns out that live-streaming e-commerce has a vast potential.
Hou Wenjie naturally had no reason to refuse the enthusiasm of investors.
Although many people dislike capital, a company cannot grow rapidly without the support of capital.
Hou Wenjie also dislikes capital, but in the world of capital, not being a partner means becoming a competitor.
In the following period, Hou Wenjie contacted numerous companies, proposing to transfer a portion of his equity, but he did not concede any control over the company.
Hou Wenjie has too many cases in his memory that show that the dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon himself.
Too many idealists have been driven to ruin by the allure of capitalism.
Capital is a vicious wolf that can turn on you at any time, but as long as you are stronger than it and can provide it with food, it will submit.
Negotiation is a lengthy process, which Hou Wenjie handed over to his legal team.
The first thing Hou Wenjie did during this period was to establish the Xiashan Agricultural Products E-commerce Base.
The news of the establishment of the e-commerce base was a shock to the people living in Xiashan Town!
They never imagined that the seemingly ordinary young man in their eyes would accomplish such a great feat.
The propaganda vehicle from Xiashan Town government, with its horn blaring, drove to villages even further from the town for many days.
Subsequently, such propaganda vehicles could be found in various towns and villages throughout Yunmeng City.
"Xiashan E-commerce Base selects agricultural products from Yunmengze, shares green ecology, and contributes to rural revitalization!"
For a time, Hou Wenjie remained behind the scenes, and many people only knew his name but never saw him.
As the big boss of the e-commerce base, he has become a somewhat mysterious and legendary figure in the eyes of many people in Yunmengze.
“My cousin is married in Xiashan Town. I heard that Hou Wenjie started a media company on their street. Many people laughed at him. Nobody expected that it would develop like this so quickly and that he would become a billionaire.”
"I've heard about it too. I heard he used to drive an excavator. He's awesome! He founded Banana Media and signed a lot of big internet celebrities. That must have cost a fortune."
"To be honest, he did a good deed. Last year, I raised ducks, but many died from disease. When the ducks matured, they were sold by the piece for only 15 yuan each, and I lost tens of thousands of yuan. Now he runs this farm, and I went to ask him. They buy in bulk, and the good quality ones are selling for 30 yuan each! It's much better than the old channels."
"Yes, many agricultural products can be sold through his e-commerce base, but the quality control is quite strict, and the prices are much higher than the original purchase price. I'm just worried it won't last long!"
"It should be fine! With such a big push for it, I heard they're going to expand the logistics park and build an agricultural product processing plant. I heard there's a sauerkraut factory, a seafood processing plant, and other factories too."
If the factory is really built, I'll call my son back. It's better for him to work at home than outside; at least we won't have to rent a place.
