In the afternoon, Hao Meng was sound asleep after his nap when he was woken up by Yang Xiaoshuang's call!
"What's up?" Hao Meng lay down, holding the phone to his ear, not even bothering to open his eyes. He had become quite familiar with this little girl; they got along quite well, and beyond their 'superior-subordinate' relationship, they were also good friends. Although she was a few years younger than him, her emotional and intellectual intelligence was no less impressive!
Yang Xiaoshuang was lying on her bed, kicking her feet. It was Sunday, so she didn't have to go to class. She had just been chatting with friends online and was about to buy something on Tiangou.com.
"Tell me, can I open an online store?" she asked.
An online store? Hao Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Sure, go ahead. You didn't call me just to ask this, did you?"
"Yep!" Yang Xiaoshuang giggled, "Are you sleeping? Did I disturb you?"
"Yes!"
Hao Meng thought Yang Xiaoshuang would apologize and hang up, but to his surprise, she giggled and said, "Sorry, but I'll have to bother you a bit more, so you can't go back to sleep!"
Damn! This girl's skin is getting thicker.
"Speak quickly, I'm feeling drowsy!" Hao Meng opened his eyes and checked the time; it was 1 PM. Wei Shufen was downstairs watching the store, so he could still sleep for another one to one and a half hours.
"Are you a pig? I'm talking seriously, why are you sleeping!" Yang Xiaoshuang pouted and rolled her eyes, then said, "I want to open an online store on Tiangou.com, specializing in electronic products. If things go well, selling hundreds of phones and computers a day won't be a dream. Just imagine, with such high sales, how much money could you make?"
Hao Meng was amused by her enthusiasm and laughed, "It's not just me who would make money, right? You don't need to tempt me. There are so many people opening online stores, but how many really succeed? If you want to try, I support you, but don't get your hopes up too high."
"Pfft, don't discourage me. If you say I can't do it, I'll show you! I'll blind you with my success!" With that, Yang Xiaoshuang hung up the phone in a huff.
Hao Meng couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep, quickly forgetting about the call.
Yang Xiaoshuang already had her own ID card. After hanging up with Hao Meng, she started registering her small online store on Tiangou.com, naming it 'Xiaoshuang Electronics.' The main products would be phones, computers, and tablets.
After passing the verification, she began to decorate her store. Yang Xiaoshuang's family was well-off, and she had a good allowance every month. Plus, she had earned some money from helping Hao Meng sell phones, so her savings were quite substantial. Since the store was just starting, its credibility was very low, with no ratings at all, and not enough attention.
Yang Xiaoshuang came up with several ways to increase the store's visibility. First, she paid a 20,000 yuan deposit to Tiangou.com. Second, all the product images were taken by her, and she didn't hesitate to use herself as a model, promoting herself to attract attention. Third, she organized six flash sales a day, featuring Hao Meng's low-cost non-smartphones. Since the prices were low, she could afford these investments.
"99% new Pear 5S, priced at 2,000 yuan, quantity: 1. Place your order quickly!"
In the QQ group, there were 2,000 people, all gathered by Yang Xiaoshuang over the past two days from online forums. She also had three backup groups.
"Wow, Store Owner Xiaoshuang is here, everyone give her a warm welcome!"
"Xiaoshuang, where are you from? How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Store Owner, I like you, let's date!"
The 'Xiaoshuang Electronics' group quickly became lively. Over 90% of the members were male, and their main purpose for joining was to admire her beauty and flirt.
"Hehe, I'm still young, and my mom says no early dating!" After typing this, Yang Xiaoshuang sent a playful emoticon to the group. Beside her computer, she muttered, "A bunch of perverts, just trying to take advantage of me. I'm not that easy to flirt with, disgusting!"
Ding: Shipping request!
In just two minutes, Yang Xiaoshuang was pleasantly surprised to find that the Pear 5S she had just listed had already been sold. Although it was sold at a low price, she didn't lose money; it was the wholesale price Hao Meng had given her.
"Non-smartphone, N79, boosting sales, brand new for 200 yuan each, supports inspection, and can be paid upon delivery. Quantity: 20. If you need it, act quickly. It's a great choice for gifts to elders, friends, and partners."
On the first day, Yang Xiaoshuang sold 69 phones, which made her extremely happy. However, she had to go to school the next day and couldn't keep an eye on her store all the time. If her grades dropped because of this, her mother would probably 'boil' her!
"Sorry, everyone. School starts today, so I can't always be here. But I've already listed new products. If you like me, please support me and see if there's anything you need. If not, at least follow the store; you might get some unexpected surprises!" Yang Xiaoshuang sent this message to the group and attached a photo of herself from that day.
When she got home from school, she was pleasantly surprised to find that all 200 phones she had listed had sold out, which was more popular than she had imagined!
"Two hundred phones, how long will it take to ship them all!" Yang Xiaoshuang, a mix of pain and joy, called her good friend Xiaofeng.
"Why don't you hire a couple of employees?" Xiaofeng rubbed her sore wrist. Two hundred packages, even split between two people, had exhausted her.
Yang Xiaoshuang's eyes sparkled, "Not only do I need to hire employees, but I also need to rent an office and register a company."
"Ambitious, but I think the most important thing for you right now is to secure your supply from Little Brother Meng. Without his supply, your online store won't last!" Xiaofeng giggled, seeing through the situation. She was also a bit tempted.
"Don't worry, if he cuts off my supply, I'll cut off his 'bird' and make it into a barbecue!" Yang Xiaoshuang said with a fierce look.
Xiaofeng blinked and asked, "Wow, that's harsh. By the way, have you and Little Brother Meng already...?"
"Get lost, you pervert. If you're in heat, I can introduce you to someone."
"Sure!" Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "Your Little Brother Meng is actually quite handsome. If you don't like him, I might make a move. Don't say I'm not a good friend for stealing your boyfriend!"
"Are you really in heat?"
"Look at you, you're already attached!" The two young and beautiful girls started to play and tease each other.
