Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 165 - 138: Fifty Thousand—Not a Cent Less
It looked no worse than any online store Li Shang had seen on shopping apps.
"Hmm... There’s not enough time, and some things couldn’t be designed by professional designers quickly, so I had to just put something together for now."
Ye Zhixia didn’t seem particularly satisfied with it.
However, Mu Yunchu thought it was already very good.
"If we’re in a hurry, we can put the products online now, and people can order right away."
Of course, listing products required Mu Yunchu to be present. He didn’t know what the store was selling, nor could he set prices by himself.
Mu Yunchu nodded, "Okay."
She sat down on a nearby chair.
But after thinking for a moment, she stood up again.
Because she realized there were many things that neither of the two "people" in her store could handle.
Li Shang was somewhat better, but Ye Zhixia’s newly deceased body was probably unsuitable.
She quickly walked into the store, brought something back, and placed it casually on the stone table in front of Ye Zhixia.
The latter just glanced at it briefly.
Having no understanding of such matters in life, he didn’t take it seriously at all.
"Hmm... What’s it called?" Ye Zhixia asked.
"Five Emperors Coin," Mu Yunchu replied.
"What’s its purpose?" Ye Zhixia hesitated slightly with his fingers on the keyboard.
Most things online have long names. This is because when sellers are searching, it helps maximize exposure, increasing the chance of clicks and purchases.
So Ye Zhixia thought just these three words weren’t enough and wanted to include the general purpose in the name.
Mu Yunchu said, "To ward off ghosts and avoid evil."
Upon hearing "ward off ghosts," Ye Zhixia’s eyelid twitched, and he instinctively glanced at the calmly placed Copper Coin, feeling a bit doubtful inside.
Is it really that powerful?
Although he thought this way, his hands didn’t stop, typing while moving the mouse to select options.
"The price?"
He thought Mu Yunchu would say a few hundred, at most no more than two thousand.
"Fifty thousand."
"Wh-what?!"
Is she crazy?
This string of Copper Coins, worth his ten months’ salary???
Ye Zhixia thought of advising Mu Yunchu. Nowadays money is hard to earn, it’s better to go the route of small profits and quick returns. Setting the price so high, no one might buy it.
But Mu Yunchu was resolute.
"Fifty thousand."
"Not a penny less."
After all, that’s already very low.
This made Ye Zhixia, who was about to price it at forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine point ninety-nine, abandon that thought and go with her suggestion for a round number.
Whatever, whatever, it doesn’t affect him if it doesn’t sell.
His five-thousand-yuan salary doesn’t depend on store commissions.
He just hoped that no one would complain about the price through the customer service channels, accusing him of having a screw loose.
After setting everything up, the inventory was maxed out, and the item was listed for sale.
"Done!"
Normally, new stores get a little bit of platform promotion.
It’s just unknown whether Whale would promote them.
Back when Ye Zhixia was alive, he’d assisted quite a few failed online stores.
The products were good, but due to the lack of platform traffic, they eventually closed down.
After all is said, Ye Zhixia still had some concerns.
After putting it online, he started refreshing the backend data repeatedly. Sure enough, after five minutes, only a few people clicked in, and no one bothered him through the customer service channel.
This left him a bit disappointed.
Perhaps subconsciously, he still hoped Mu Yunchu’s online store could succeed.
"What if... we try lowering the price?"
"And change the last two decimals to .99."
This is a tactic almost all merchants use.
Especially platform merchants like Whale, who often host live broadcasts. They usually rely on people’s impulsive purchasing desires to sell products.
As everyone knows, there’s an insurmountable gap between 10 yuan and 9.99 yuan. The feeling they bring is completely different.
When buying the same product, seeing these two prices, the former feels ’so-so’ and worth reconsidering, while the latter feels like ’a great deal’.
It’s the same rationale for 50,000 yuan and 49,999.99 yuan.
But when Ye Zhixia made such a suggestion, he turned around to find Mu Yunchu fiddling with her phone.
His heart sank.
He remembered many unpleasant memories from when he was alive.
Many bosses he encountered at work were like this, pushing all responsibilities onto him. Clearly, it was the product and price that were problematic, but if sales were poor, they’d blame the operations team. Even optimization suggestions he proposed were never accepted.
At this moment, he saw the shadows of those people on Mu Yunchu.
However, just then, Mu Yunchu interrupted his thoughts.
"What are you zoning out for?"
"Send me the online store’s link, and I’ll post it in the fan group."
It took Ye Zhixia a full ten seconds to respond. He immediately created a very attractive business card, attached with the online store’s QR code link, and gave it to Mu Yunchu.
When Mu Yunchu sent this to her several fan groups one after the other, the group’s fans instantly went into a frenzy.
[!!! Someone tell me if I’m seeing things!]
[The streamer finally stopped ’painting cakes’ and is now actually baking them for us to eat.]
[So does this mean the person from the third prediction during yesterday’s live stream has already started working at the streamer’s shop?]
[I think we can’t jump to conclusions yet, after all, we haven’t even discussed whether they are actually human.]
[What are you doing! The store is right in front of us, and you’re discussing whether the staff member is human??? Even if they’re a ghost, or a wraith, I’m shopping today regardless.]
Those words served as a reminder.
Now wasn’t the time for chatting and discussion.
Amid their excitement, the smart ones already scanned the QR code and placed orders on the platform.
[Let’s hurry! First come, first served! I’ll buy at least ten items today no matter what!]
[Wait, what??? Why does it show only one product on my end? Is my screen frozen?]
[It’s not frozen for you; it shows the same for me. The streamer might only have listed this one type for now.]
[Doesn’t matter, let’s buy it first. You’re not getting a raw deal by buying it; you can always buy other things when they appear.]
[I knew saving my dowry fund would come in handy. Five Emperors Coin for fifty thousand each? I’m buying five right away, for the whole family, plus one for my future girlfriend.]
...
As they placed orders, they didn’t forget to spread the news gleefully on Weibo. While promoting, they also reminded many who weren’t constantly tuned into Whale news.
And it wasn’t just Mu Yunchu’s fans on the Whale platform.
When she sent out the message, Whale’s manager, Lin Tianyou, was also informed.
He first went in and placed an order, then ordered his people to give her more platform promotion.
After all, according to platform rules, every time Mu Yunchu sold something, they would earn a commission too.
This was different from her usual fortune-telling that teared through the Heavenly Mechanism; Lin Tianyou could also benefit.
The result was that Ye Zhixia, who had been staring at the backend data, was completely dumbfounded.
He instinctively refreshed the page and saw over 2000 clicks on the store.
He blinked, thinking it was a glitch.
After another refresh, it became over five thousand.
Meanwhile, he saw the left side had already become 99+ order dispatch reminders and gasped.
The five-thousand-yuan Five Emperors Coin, had just sold over a hundred pieces in a blink of an eye!
And the number continued to grow as time passed.
Do people have this much money these days???
