Chapter 83

PS. Here's today's update, and I'm also taking the opportunity to promote the 515 Fan Festival on Qidian. Everyone has 8 votes, and you get Qidian coins for voting, so I humbly request your support and appreciation!

Xiaohu stood by the car, excitedly asking Ye Qing how much he had paid for the Ford Mondeo. "This car is amazing, it sounds like a supercar, and the interior is so beautiful."

Ye Qing, who was preparing to bask in the compliments, almost slapped him in frustration.

"Look, look at the car logo on the steering wheel." Ye Qing asked him seriously, "Do you see the English in the middle of the silver wings?"

"Aston Martin?" Xiaohu looked puzzled, saying he had never heard of this brand.

Ye Qing could only sigh, explaining that it was the new Mondeo, which costs about 800,000 yuan.

"Do you have any friends here?"

"Yes, I met a few pretty girls at the driving school."

"Call them and ask if they're willing to do part-time work as customer service for an online store. I need ten of them. If there aren't enough, they can bring their friends. The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan."

"Also, go to the computer city and buy twenty computers for me. Get the ones with I7 processors and 16GB of RAM. Check the prices online to avoid being overcharged."

"Buy matching computer desks and office chairs, as well as a printer and other office supplies."

After saying this, Ye Qing asked for Xiaohu's Alipay and transferred 300,000 yuan to him in one go.

"Wow, 300,000 yuan, Uncle Ye, are you opening an online store?" Xiaohu's eyes nearly popped out when he received the transfer.

"Don't be so dramatic, you're embarrassing me in front of others," Ye Qing said, giving him a light tap on the head. "Buy yourself an iPhone 6S and some decent clothes."

Xiaohu scratched his head and then took out his phone to call the girls he had just met at the driving school.

Recruiting customer service staff went surprisingly smoothly...

Xiaohu had only made three calls, and the girls were already excitedly gathering.

The reason was that the price of the Lagonda, which they had quickly looked up online, had already been revealed. Now, when Xiaohu said he was helping his uncle recruit customer service staff, they were so eager that they didn't even want to learn how to drive anymore.

Leaving Xiaohu at the entrance of the computer city, Ye Qing rushed to the city center.

The real estate market had been sluggish for the past two years, and many commercial buildings in the city center were now vacant.

Ye Qing only visited the first building, and in the manager's fawning welcome, he rented an entire floor of a super-luxury office building at a very favorable price.

This floor had previously been occupied by a large import-export company, which had gone bankrupt, but the renovation remained. Ye Qing only needed to add some basic necessities to make it operational.

He also rented an independent storage area in the underground parking lot for the workers to install the outer decorations on the mechanical engineering chairs.

Money is efficiency. By 5 PM, the company, named "Giant Heavy Industries," was ready for official use.

Ten young women were now sitting in the office, attentively listening to the master craftsman explain the various features of the mechanical engineering chairs, so they could answer customer inquiries knowledgeably.

Xiaohu was appointed as the manager, responsible for overseeing the office while Ye Qing's main activities were still at the factory in Longxi Beach.

Ye Qing was now hiding in the CEO's office, where the mechanical engineering chair was continuously massaging him.

After a day of fermentation, many professional screenwriters and authors were now sharing the videos created by Ye Qing's first batch of customers on Weibo.

The message notifications had become so numerous that Ye Qing simply ignored them all.

A 400-number call interrupted his massage.

The caller, a man claiming to be a Tmall customer manager, verified Ye Qing's merchant information and then invited his store to join Tmall.

Tmall is currently the most comprehensive brand platform in China's online shopping market and is the preferred choice for many international brands.

Joining Tmall means that as long as you have the trademark rights for a product, you can focus on production without worrying about counterfeit goods.

Ye Qing had already registered the trademark through an intermediary and submitted the design patent for the mechanical engineering chair, which could be checked on the National Patent Application website and would be approved soon.

Tmall rarely actively invites merchants to join, but Ye Qing's mechanical engineering chair had become a dark horse, shocking the data monitoring department of Taobao.

A sales volume of over ten million yuan in one morning is something many Tmall stores can't achieve in a year.

If it were fake sales, they would have been shut down, but the data department verified it multiple times and found no fake sales.

Moreover, the users buying these mechanical engineering chairs were all very active and high-quality long-term users, with purchasing power that was astonishing.

Some young staff members who enjoyed reading novels discovered the reason for the chair's popularity from the Weibo posts of authors.

After watching those videos, they believed the chair's popularity was well-deserved and that it would be unjust if it didn't become popular.

Not inviting such a dark horse store to Tmall would be a loss for Tmall, so the Tmall customer manager called Ye Qing that day.

After Ye Qing provided his business license, organization code, trademark registration certificate, national patent application status query number, and bank capital proof, his Tmall store was smoothly activated.

However, this Tmall store initially only sold one product.

The customer manager suggested Ye Qing add more products, such as accessories for the mechanical engineering chair.

The next day, the online store and the company officially began operations.

The ten customer service girls had already arrived early for work. Xiaohu and three of his driving school classmates were studying traffic rules together.

The ten customer service accounts were more than enough to handle the customers, and most of them were asking if they could get a discount.

Ye Qing instructed them not to respond to any discount requests. They were selling a high-end product, and they wouldn't sell for less than the listed price. However, they could continue to offer cashback for positive reviews with detailed descriptions.

The company was still a bit empty, and the building opposite was a Carrefour supermarket.

Ye Qing went downstairs and wandered to the entrance of Carrefour, where he bought a chicken wrap from KFC and started eating while getting a shopping cart.

"Big brother, you can't eat inside," a cute little girl around eleven or twelve years old said seriously, standing next to Ye Qing.

A woman in ordinary clothes, presumably her mother, stood beside her and smiled apologetically at Ye Qing, indicating not to mind the child's words.

"I'm not going inside, I'm eating outside," Ye Qing said, quickly finishing the remaining chicken wrap. "Thank you for reminding me, little girl."

"Okay, see you, big brother." The little girl smiled and pulled her mother's hand, leaving.

The first floor of Carrefour had clothing, home appliances, electronics, and toys. Ye Qing planned to buy a few water dispensers, TVs, and microwaves.

At the home appliance section, two staff members were promoting a high-end juicer, continuously making cups of juice from watermelons and offering them to customers for tasting.

Ye Qing had seen this juicer before. The last time he and Doudou had dinner by Liushan Lake, someone was using it to sell fresh juice.

Next to it was a juicer with the plastic cover removed. A female employee was introducing it to the customers waiting for free juice, explaining that this juicer had many functions, including juicing and mincing meat. The inner container was made of high-polish stainless steel, easy to clean, and rust-resistant.

While introducing, she demonstrated how to remove the cover and clean the stainless steel inner container with water.

Ye Qing, who specialized in mechanical processing, took a closer look. The inner container was a cylindrical structure, indeed made of mirror-polished stainless steel, with solid materials.

The mincing wheel inside was also long, different from the blade style of ordinary juicers, making it suitable for mincing meat.

Ye Qing didn't plan to buy it and left after a quick look.

The little girl from earlier was still waiting for juice and smiled at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing first went to check out the water dispensers. With a full wallet, he chose the most expensive one.

A painful scream suddenly pierced the entire shopping area.

The scream startled Ye Qing, and before he could turn around, a collective loud scream erupted, with one female scream particularly piercing.

[The 515 Fan Festival is coming soon. I hope to continue to impact the 515 red envelope list, and on May 15th, the red envelope rain can reward readers and promote the work. Even a small amount is love, and I will definitely update well!]
