Chapter 481 - 260: This Sales Gap Is Way Too Big
Chen Jincheng, however, had already put away his phone. He and Sister Feiye headed for the airport exit. Once outside, they went to the hotel that Sister Hong had booked for them.
After checking in and having a quick lunch, Chen Jincheng returned to his room, opened Tiao Yin, and checked the situation online.
The shopping cart feature would go live at 12 PM sharp, officially kicking off the era of video-based e-commerce.
Just then, Sister Hong called. "Boss, it’s almost 12. We’ll be posting the four sales videos simultaneously. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Just upload the videos when the time comes," Chen Jincheng instructed before hanging up.
They had prepared more than enough. Now, all that was left was to watch the data roll in.
Besides, he had adapted another visually explosive video, and with the added hype from that visual style, he was very confident in the numbers.
It wasn’t just Chen Jincheng. At this moment, with 12 PM approaching, countless influencers and MCN companies were eyeing the shopping cart feature, ready to embark on a new journey of monetization.
Over at Tiao Yin, Han Shangyou was personally overseeing the launch of the shopping cart function.
He had high hopes for this feature.
So, the moment the clock struck 12 and the feature went live, he immediately ordered, "Monitor the data in real-time. After one hour, the order count and sales revenue leaderboards will update their rankings live."
...
For ease of communication, Chen Jincheng had already created a group chat, adding Sister Hong, Jiang Xiaobai, Yinyin, Ximeng, Sister Feiye, as well as Li Ya from the three brands.
Representatives from Yijin and several video-clipping accounts were also added to the group.
As soon as it turned 12, he gave the order to upload all four videos simultaneously.
Almost at the same time, Yijin and the video-clipping teams also sprang into action. They released their edited clips of the four girls’ sales videos, rapidly generating buzz and creating trending topics in the shortest time possible to drive traffic to the main videos.
The people at Yijin and the clipping teams were also looking forward to seeing the results of the Second-Life Star girls’ video sales.
After all, Brother Cheng had told them that in the future, their clipping accounts could also attach the product links from Second-Life Star’s sales videos, allowing them to do their own video sales with the clips.
This would give them another way to monetize their content.
Although their accounts hadn’t been approved for the feature yet, it didn’t stop them from being excited.
After receiving Chen Jincheng’s order, Sister Feiye uploaded her sales video immediately. In just a short while, her backend dashboard lit up with notifications of rapidly increasing likes.
And comments started pouring in:
"HOLY SHIT, Chen Jincheng’s a genius! That handful of dandruff left me speechless."
"I thought this shampoo was for making your hair smooth, but who knew that handful of dandruff would prove it’s an anti-dandruff formula."
"Sister Feiye, the concept Chen Jincheng gave you is mind-blowing enough to rock the entire universe!"
"..."
Sister Feiye wasn’t surprised by these comments. She thought the video was quite a spoof herself. She also wasn’t surprised by the rapid increase in likes, even though it had already reached 40,000 in just a few minutes.
After all, this was a video personally planned by Chen Jincheng.
When it came to making videos, Chen Jincheng’s name was a brand in itself—one that was 100% pure gold.
’Seriously, having Chen Jincheng personally help with a video... just watching the data skyrocket is thrilling. It’s addicting.’
But right now, she was more focused on the order data for the shampoo. Her eyes were glued to the backend as notifications of new orders flashed across the screen.
And the numbers weren’t ticking up slowly.
Within 10 minutes, she clicked on the shopping cart and saw that 7,654 units had already been sold.
Her contract with the product company stipulated a commission of 13 per unit sold. That meant in just 10 minutes, she’d earned nearly 100,000 in commission.
At this rate, it was definitely possible to earn several million in commission by the time the video’s popularity faded.
Her video sales contract with Second-Life Star stipulated that for normal sales videos, the company would take a 20% cut. But for videos personally handled by the boss, she only got a 30% share. That meant out of 100,000, she would get 30,000.
At this rate, if the data continued to grow like this, she’d have no problem earning 2 million by the time the video’s hype died down.
Keep in mind, her advertising fee for this shampoo product was only 500,000.
’In the future, the value of ad videos personally handled by the boss will be even higher. Having him handle an ad video is basically like getting paid to lie down and do nothing.’
The thought of ’earning money lying down’ made a bashful expression appear on her pretty face.
The reason she hadn’t brought an assistant this time was that she wanted to fight for the female lead role when he landed the Rice Phone ad.
But now, seeing these kinds of order numbers, even without the Rice Phone ad, it seemed...
As she thought about it, she subconsciously covered her face with her hands.
’It’s so hot...’
...
Chen Jincheng had been monitoring the order situation for all four girls.
Of the four, Jiang Xiaobai’s video undoubtedly had the best data. It couldn’t be helped; there were just too many pervs out there. Her video was the most seductive, especially with the lingerie-style nightgown that used very little fabric and was incredibly alluring. She was really giving her fans a treat.
The data was good, the traffic was high, and the nightgown orders were piling up.
In just 10 minutes, she had 17,651 orders. Looking at the comments, it was no surprise the numbers were so high.
"HOLY SHIT, Jinghong Women’s Clothing finally released a new lingerie-style nightgown!"
"Xiaobai and Jinghong Women’s Clothing’s nightgowns are still a match made in heaven!"
"After buying the last one for my sister-in-law, I knew I’d definitely buy the new one!"
"Haha, there’s so little fabric on this one. I’m afraid one won’t be enough to ’play’ with, so I’m buying three!"
"..."
The Jinghong Women’s Clothing lingerie-style nightgown cost 68 per piece, with a commission of 13.6. That was already over 240,000.
Yinyin’s video data wasn’t growing as fast as Jiang Xiaobai’s, but her orders for Luna Stockings were even higher, reaching 30,000 units in 10 minutes.
This was mainly because they were cheap, and stockings could be worn on many occasions, even outside. Many people ordered several pairs at once.
However, because the price was low, Yinyin’s commission from those 30,000 units was only 150,000.
The video with the worst data was naturally Ximeng’s. Consequently, her orders were the lowest, with only 2,307 in 10 minutes. However, her product had a unit price of 200 and a commission of 40, so she still earned over 90,000.
Of course, Ximeng would also earn a share of the remaining profit from the orders, as she owned 49% of her studio.
Therefore, among the four girls, Ximeng was certain to earn the most this time.
Second-Life Star.
Sister Hong had also called Ximeng, Yinyin, and Jiang Xiaobai into the conference room to watch the video sales data in real-time.
Seeing such results in just 10 minutes, she was deeply moved. "I finally understand why the boss valued the shopping cart feature so much. The speed at which this makes money is just too fast."
The three girls nodded frantically, their hearts filled with delight.
’The boss really does dote on us the most,’ they thought. ’After all, he gave this opportunity to us.’
Li Ya and her group were just as happy. Seeing the increasing order numbers, they knew that choosing to cooperate with Chen Jincheng was absolutely the right decision.
Meanwhile, at OST, the boss, Yuan Peng, was also closely monitoring the sales data of his own artists.
This time, they had five products, meticulously planned and prepared for a long time. The video data was a pleasant surprise for them, as the numbers were very good.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Yuan Peng immediately ordered his subordinate, "Report the latest data for the five products."
The assistant reported at once, "Boss, the sales commissions for the five products are 172,100, 165,000, 216,700, 262,100, and 184,500 respectively. The total commission has broken one million."
These numbers made Yuan Peng’s face light up with excitement. This was a huge success.
He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if all the artists in his company started doing large-scale video sales.
After their scouts had recruited a large number of girls from bars and foot massage parlors, the company now had over 1,800 artists.
Even if most artists’ sales data wasn’t great, many small streams make a large river.
Their plan was to expand next year and have 5,000 signed artists.
As Yuan Peng thought about this, he said with even more excitement, "Do you think our sales data for these products can beat Chen Jincheng’s?"
Hearing this, the assistant said awkwardly, "Boss, the ’like’ data for Chen Jincheng’s four sales videos is terrifying. In one hour, they’ve all basically surpassed 300,000 likes. That’s way more than us."
Yuan Peng’s cheek twitched when he heard that. A high number of likes meant high traffic and more viewers, which definitely meant their sales figures wouldn’t be low.
Just then, another employee suddenly reported, "Boss, the shopping cart’s order count and sales revenue leaderboards have been updated."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Peng immediately picked up his phone, opened Tiao Yin, and tapped into the leaderboards to see the updated rankings.
But when he saw the data for the top four spots on the leaderboard, he was so shocked he froze.
’The gap is this huge?’
