Chapter 32 Signing a contract with Kuaishou
More than 80 kilograms of goods were sold out, including some given away as gifts. Xia Wu packed up and took her brother home.
The weather turned cold, and the temperature in the mountains was no higher than in the city. Yang Guojun set up a stove early and put some sweet potatoes and peanuts next to the stove. After Xia Wu returned home, he first drank a cup of hot honey water, picked up a roasted sweet potato and ate it, and then he had the mind to calculate the money he earned from selling strawberries today.
Today, there are 55 orders shipped online, each worth 50 yuan, with a total revenue of 2,750 yuan, excluding the shipping fee of 440 yuan, leaving 2,310 yuan.
The remaining strawberries were transported to the market and sold for 15 yuan per pound. I had cash and online banking, totaling 1,200 yuan.
As for small items like plastic bags and packing boxes, Xia Wu did not keep careful accounts.
By this calculation, I earned more than 3,000 yuan today.
Xia Wu wanted to share the money with her parents, but Yang Guojun and Liu Guizhen refused to accept it. They insisted that she wait until she saved more before giving them her salary.
Xia Wu knew that this was just an excuse, so he could only do as he was told, thinking about compensating his parents in other ways in the future.
However, the money she gave to her brother could not be decided by her parents. Xia Wu planned to take Yang Hongwen to the town bank to apply for a bank card, and deposit the salary she gave to her brother into the card.
When she told this story, she received unanimous approval from her family.
The Yang family never thought about helping Yang Hongwen get married and have children in the future, so it would always be good to save more money for him.
As the weather gets colder, Xia Wu goes up the mountain less frequently. Apart from taking care of the strawberry garden, he spends the rest of his time managing his video account.
She edited the footage of Yang Mingyue and her brother picking strawberries and selling them at the market today. She censored the parts that needed to be censored and blurred the parts that couldn't be censored, and then released a new video.
The strawberries are ripe. Let's experience a day of taking my brother to the market to sell strawberries and see how much money we can make in the end.
Many people in the city have never had the experience of picking and selling strawberries. Xia Wu was also a first-time bride in a sedan chair. She thought the experience was quite interesting, so she simply filmed it into a video.
After posting the video, she stopped caring about it. The messages in the background piled up to the sky, and it was a bit slow to click on them. Xia Wu wanted to clear the messages.
There were comments asking for updates, and discussions about the plot of the video. Xia Wu just took a quick look and left. There were also many private messages, some wanting to buy strawberries, and some asking where her strawberry garden was.
Xia Wu thought about it and contacted customer service to inquire about how to open a Kuaishou display. The process was surprisingly simple. She had followers, so she could easily sell her products herself. In less than fifteen minutes, Xia Wu had uploaded the information and successfully displayed 50 kilograms of her own strawberries in the display.
At this time, many people have watched her latest video.
Li Yun is one of them.
She has been following Xia Wu for some time and trying to contact her through various means, but the blogger Xia Xia seems to have disappeared. Not only has she not posted any videos for half a month, but the private messages Li Yun sent her have also fallen into the sea.
Last time, Li Yun was qualified to taste the strawberries. Her persistence and the taste of the strawberries convinced her supervisor Xu Zhiyi. After much persuasion, the supervisor finally agreed to try to sign "Xia Xia in the Mountains", and Li Yun was fully responsible for this matter.
Who knew that she would suffer a setback right at the beginning. Xia Xia didn't update the video and couldn't be contacted.
For a moment, Li Yun was caught in a dilemma and once again became a laughing stock among his colleagues.
Li Yun did not give up. Instead, he kept following Xia Xia's account. As soon as she posted a video, Li Yun would quickly comment below and then send a private message.
But every time, it was ignored.
As soon as Xia Wu released the video of selling strawberries at the market today, Li Yun immediately clicked on the Kuaishou video and left a message.
Perhaps it was God's will that Xia Wu finally noticed it.
"Hello, I'm the account operator at Kuaishou. I'd like to sign an exclusive contract with you. Are you interested?"
Xia Wu almost deleted the private message. Without hesitation, she clicked on it to check the account of the sender. It was a private account. Could it be a scammer?
Seeing that the message he had sent was in the read status, Li Yun was extremely excited and quickly sent another message: "I won your strawberry before, do you still have a record of it?"
Xia Wu flipped through the pages and discovered that this person had sent her more than one message. She had responded to the first strawberry she had sent him, but it was buried in a pile of private messages, so Xia Wu missed it.
What's even more strange is that based on the frequency of Li Yun's message sending, she should have been added to Zhou Hui's group long ago.
In the end, Xia Wu could only conclude that the avatar Li Yun used was too... like a liar.
Two months later, Xia Wu finally received an invitation to sign a contract. She added Li Yun's WeChat. Li Yun sent her his work badge and then sent her a document introducing the process of Kuaishou Company signing bloggers and the conditions that could be offered.
"I'm sending you an invitation application from the backend. You can choose from three different cooperation models."
Xia Wu clicked on it and saw that the bloggers, who were contracted to Kuaishou, could choose to become exclusive, release their videos for five days, or release them for three days. Signing an exclusive with Kuaishou meant the videos could only be released there, but the revenue from the videos would be significantly increased. With a five-day or three-day release, the videos could only be released on Kuaishou for the first three days, and could only be released to other platforms after that period.
At present, Xia Wu has not received any invitations to create works from other platforms, and she does not have too much energy to create too many tracks. Shooting videos is originally a way to monetize the resources at hand.
After comprehensive consideration, Xia Wu decided to sign a three-year exclusive contract with Kuaishou.
"I'll send you the contract when you go to the company tomorrow morning. Xia Xia, welcome to join our company!"
Xia Wu felt relieved. Li Yun seemed even happier than her. He kept saying how much he liked her videos, which was why he wanted to sign an exclusive contract with her. If Xia Wu had any questions in the future, she could ask her.
"Thank you, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!" Xia Wu thought for a moment and then asked, "Would you like to join the group?"
"What group?"
"The fan group, the people there are quite interesting."
Xia Wu successfully pulled Li Yun into the group, and soon, Li Yun placed an order on the WeChat store.
Not only that, Li Yun also posted Xia Wu's WeChat store on his Moments, "The strawberries grown by this beautiful young lady are super delicious. You'll never forget them after trying them once. Highly recommended!"
She didn't block anyone in this circle of friends, including the group of colleagues in the office who didn't get along with her. Then she sent a private message to Xu Zhiyi: "Sister Xu, do you still want the strawberries from last time?"
After a while, Xu Zhiyi replied to her: "Where to buy it?"
"I'll buy it for you, sis," Li Yun sent a cute emoticon. "I've contacted Xia Xia. I can send her the contract tomorrow. She said she wants to sign an exclusive contract."
"One thing is one thing, I have to sign. I can do the shopping myself."
Li Yun had no choice but to forward Xia Wu’s WeChat store to her.
After Xia Wu released her video, the number of orders on Kuaishou and Weidian has been increasing. Because they are fresh food, she specifically marked that refunds are given for damaged products and returns are not allowed. This shows that the pressure on delivery has increased again.
After yawning, Bugs Bunny went to defecate on his own. Xia Wu used wet wipes to clean it, wrapped it with his hands, stuffed Bugs Bunny into the quilt to warm the bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep in one go.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xia Wu was woken up by Bugs Bunny again.
When I opened the curtains, it was the snake brother from last night again. It seemed to be looking for something, hovering around the window and refusing to leave. It held its neck high, staring straight into Xia Wu's eyes with its head, spitting out its tongue.
"Hey, you don't need to hibernate?" Xia Wu knocked on the window curiously. The king cobra showed no intention of attacking. It swam gracefully and moved closer to her hand.
The weather is so cold that normal snakes should hibernate, but this guy not only does not hibernate, but also knocks on her window every night as promised. Could it be true, as the [rabbit snake] guessed, that it is too cold outside and the snake wants to spend the winter in her room?
Xia Wu was only not afraid of snakes because there was a window between them. If she really let it in, she would be a little scared, not to mention that it was one of Bugs Bunny's natural enemies.
For some unknown reason, Xia Wu took out the bowl that Bugs Bunny used to drink water from and added some spiritual spring water into it. She carefully pushed open the window. The king cobra took two steps back and was not hit by the window. Of course, it had no intention of attacking Xia Wu.
Xia Wu was frightened, nervous, and a little excited. She gently placed the bowl of spiritual spring water on the windowsill and whispered, "Did you drink all the water I put in there earlier? You still want some, right?"
Of course, snakes can't talk. The king cobra just kept drinking water, and its huge body coiled together seemed to be showing some goodwill.
In the dead of night, in the cold wind, this scene looked both strange and terrifying.
Xia Wu swallowed nervously and stretched out his hand tentatively: "I'm just going to touch you, please don't bite me."
Brother Snake just drank water.
Xia Wu successfully touched the snake's body. The coldness and biting chill of the scales instantly spread from her fingertips to her tail vertebrae, making her shiver involuntarily.
After a while, the snake finished drinking the water, raised its head and nodded twice, then slid its body away from the windowsill and disappeared.
Xia Wu took Bugs Bunny's bowl away, closed the window, and exhaled. She'd previously placed half a cup of water on the windowsill to test the effects of the spiritual spring water. Every morning, the cup would be empty. Had the snake drunk it?
She should have thought of it earlier. The spiritual spring water has a great attraction to the animals in the mountains. Even Bugs Bunny likes the spiritual spring water very much. She hopes that after Brother Snake drinks it, he will not come again tomorrow night.
He was woken up in the middle of the night and didn't feel sleepy until around four in the morning. He finally managed to sleep until six. Thinking that he had to continue shipping goods today, Xia Wu could only struggle to get out of bed.
Since starting to sell strawberries, Xia Wu has been sleeping later and later and getting up earlier and earlier.
The first thing Xia Wu did when she got up in the morning was to add food and water to Bugs Bunny's bowl. After that, she went out to wash up. Liu Guizhen and Yang Guojun were already up. She greeted Liu Guizhen and said, "Good morning, Mom."
Liu Guizhen: "It's getting late. Yang Mingyuan is here. He's picking strawberries in the strawberry garden outside."
Xia Wu was a little surprised, "You came so early?"
"Yeah, he said he had to go to school soon, so he came early."
Xia Wu nodded and went back to the house, planning to change clothes and go to work in the strawberry garden.
When I entered the room, I saw that the water in Bugs Bunny's plate had not gone down at all. It hid beside the plate with a wronged look on its face, as if it wanted to eat but didn't dare to.
Normally, it would have drunk up all the spiritual spring water in the plate.
Rabbits cannot drink too much water, so Xia Wu only puts a little water at the bottom of the plate every time.
Of course, Bugs Bunny would drink up all the water every time.
Xia Wu soon figured out the reason. She had used this bowl to feed the snake last night. Rabbits are afraid of snakes, and the bowl was left with the smell of snakes, so Bugs Bunny would definitely be scared.
Xia Wu had no choice but to replace Bugs Bunny's bowl with another one and put Snake's bowl away. Soon, Bugs Bunny lay down in front of the plate, began to drink water, wash his face, and enjoy his breakfast.
Xia Wu rubbed Bugs Bunny's little head and said softly, "You are still good at enjoying life. I'm going out to work now."
After changing clothes, Xia Wu walked out of the house. Yang Mingyuan had been there for more than half an hour. After two days of practice, he was picking strawberries faster and faster. There were already five baskets of strawberries piled up in the aisle.
Yang Guojun was also among them. Xia Wu rubbed his face and cheered himself up.
Today's strawberry orders are more than the previous two days combined. On the one hand, the first batch of strawberries has arrived, and the same-city express delivery will arrive the next day. After many people tasted the strawberries, the repurchase rate is quite high.
This time, Xia Wu didn't impose purchase limits. Many people even bought two at once, some giving them to friends and family, others just for themselves. Four kilograms of strawberries for 100 yuan, all natural and pollution-free, safe for children to eat.
Meanwhile, Xia Wu opened a Kuaishou (TikTok) account, where she has amassed a significant following, attracting a lot of interest in her strawberries. Recently, she faced criticism for her work, and she rallied netizens to film a video to disprove those who questioned her. Zhou Hui's ghostly videos, which sparked a brief surge in popularity, sparked widespread curiosity.
So when Xia Wu's display window opened, over 100 people started placing orders. Kuaishou and Weidian combined saw nearly 200 orders. Xia Wu estimated the number of ripe strawberries in the farm and decided to ship them in two batches: one today and one tomorrow.
At 7:10, Liu Guizhen prepared breakfast. Yang Mingyuan had to go to school at 7:40. It took at least 20 minutes to walk from Yanggou Village to the school.
Yang Mingyuan hurriedly finished his breakfast, put on his schoolbag and was about to leave. Xia Wu stopped him and gave him today's salary. Although it was only ten yuan, he was obviously very happy.
After all, which left-behind primary school student can afford to pay a huge sum of ten yuan?
Xia Wu simply rode his bike to send Yang Mingyuan to school, and then turned back to continue picking strawberries. Without the help of Yang Mingyue and her brother, the Yang family was busy until the morning before they picked all the strawberries, packed them and sent them for express delivery.
After lunch, Xia Wu delivered the strawberries to the town and was almost exhausted.
Not only her, but the whole family was exhausted and didn't even have time to sleep in.
As business gets better and better, the workload will definitely increase, and we have to find ways to add more manpower. Xia Wu doesn't want to be trapped by these tedious tasks.
There is another problem. Xia Wu is busy in the morning every day, and has free time in the afternoon. She calculated the money needed to reclaim the land in the spring of next year and decided to think of some ways to make more money.
