Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 77: Traditional Chinese Brands (Please add to your collection)
This is an old brand of toothpaste. Lin Yuan remembers using it when he was a child, but after junior high school, he rarely saw this toothpaste in supermarkets.

As far as I can remember, this toothpaste is pretty good. I wonder if it has changed over the years.

To be honest, there are many kinds of toothpaste on the market, but I don’t see many that can really whiten teeth. Toothpaste can clean everything except teeth, and I don’t know why.

The advertisements are all exaggerated, as if using them can make you immortal. A toothpaste is hyped up as high-tech, and a lot of research costs are invested in it, etc.

To be honest, do consumers care about how high-tech it is? What they care about is whether it can whiten teeth!

Lin Yuan is also aware that the consumption power brought by the country's large population and the lack of domestic brands at that time have made this "big cake" of the Chinese market a "gold-making field" for "foreign brands". Many brands have even been deeply rooted in people's hearts and are mistakenly believed to be domestic products.

Soon, Lin Yuan added the other party on WeChat and the two sides communicated further.

He then learned that this toothpaste has not changed, even the packaging is the same as before. Perhaps it is this unchanging nature that has caused this toothpaste to fail to keep up with the times, gradually decline, and even linger on until now.

Before long, Lin Yuan reached an online agreement with the other party, agreeing to help advertise and put the product on his homepage showcase, but would not specifically broadcast the product.

At this time, in an old factory area in China, a little girl shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, Brother Lin agreed."

Yang Mengmeng was very happy and felt that she could definitely help her grandfather this time.

This business was the hard work of her grandfather, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Both families were trying hard to save it, and she was no exception.

Unlike other people in her family, she believes that the reason why the company declined is that it could not keep up with the pace of the times and did not reap the dividends of the times. If she wants to revive toothpaste, she must actively integrate the elements of the times.

In recent years, offline store sales have been very unsatisfactory, and online sales have become popular, especially the live streaming model.

So, she set up an official live broadcast room in the factory. In the past month, she has been working hard to broadcast live every day, but the effect is not very good because the traffic is too low.

The family doesn't have much money for her to buy traffic or something like that.

Yang Mengmeng realized that relying on live streaming on her own would not lead to any success, so she thought about finding an anchor to promote her products.

However, they have limited funds, so hiring big anchors is out of the question. Hiring small anchors doesn't seem to work either. These days, Yang Mengmeng has been keeping an eye out for anchors who are just starting out but have the potential to become a big hit.

Finally she found Lin Yuan.

Although Lin Yuan currently has few fans, only a little over 100,000, she is very optimistic about Lin Yuan and thinks this anchor will definitely become popular. The most important thing is that the number of people online for each live broadcast is now stable at around 10,000.

This is very rare. You know, some anchors with millions of fans cannot guarantee that the number of online viewers in their live broadcast room will reach 10,000.

Yang Mengmeng persuaded her grandfather to squeeze out 20 yuan of funds.

Then I contacted Lin Yuan. I thought it would be a difficult negotiation! Unexpectedly, Brother Lin was so easy to talk to. After learning about the product first and knowing that the product adhered to the original intention and did not cut corners, I agreed to advertise.

Unfortunately, Brother Lin is unwilling to sell goods through live streaming.

A white-haired old man came over. For the sake of the business he founded, he insisted on working in the factory late at night. His family members did not approve of it at first, but they could not persuade him because of his persistence.

"Mengmeng! Has the young man you mentioned agreed to help us sell goods?" he asked with a smile.

Yang Mengmeng saw that her grandfather looked a little tired, so she advised: "Grandpa, why don't you go to bed first! Brother Lin promised to advertise for us and put our toothpaste in the window of his homepage, but he would not sell the goods live.

Grandpa, I transferred the 20 yuan to him, is that okay?"

The old man opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't bear to blame his granddaughter.

How could the money be transferred so quickly? They didn't even sign the online agreement. This silly girl might be sold out and count money for others. Now, we can only hope that the anchor will keep his promise.

"No problem! Let's do this! Our Mengmeng is really awesome. We managed to reach an agreement so quickly." The old man not only did not blame her, but also gave affirmation and praise.

When Yang Mengmeng received praise from her grandfather, her eyes immediately turned into crescent shapes when she smiled.

"Grandpa, don't worry! Brother Lin will definitely be popular, and he will also make our toothpaste popular."

……

Seeing that the other party transferred 20 RMB without any warning, Lin Yuan was also stunned, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Isn’t this too unprofessional?

However, this also represents other people's trust in him, and Lin Yuan naturally doesn't want to let them down.

"Brothers, Lao Lin is getting better now. Just now, a well-known domestic toothpaste brand found me..." Lin Yuan announced solemnly.

He didn't express any patriotic sentiments, saying things like if you want to be patriotic you have to buy domestic products.

Instead, I told everyone about the difficulties faced by domestic products, and asked everyone to support them if they are able.

Seeing that everyone was asking how much advertising money he received, Lin Yuan did not hide it and announced 20 yuan on the spot. He also promised that the 20 yuan would be used for domestic charity.

Some people were about to make fun of or even ridicule, but when they heard Lin Yuan's words, they were speechless.

What else can I say? They don't plan to earn a penny, they just donate it all.

Moreover, they have made it very clear that the money will be used for domestic charities, not foreign charities, so you can't find any fault with it.

Then, everyone's attention returned to the product itself. Some people born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s recalled this toothpaste and said that it was good in their memory and made their teeth clean, but it is no longer available in supermarkets.

Some people even found out that this toothpaste company donated money back to society almost every year during the years when it was profitable, and only stopped during the years when it was losing money.

It is a conscientious enterprise!

For a moment, everyone's desire to buy was aroused.

"Brothers, wait a minute, I don't know how to do it yet." Seeing everyone calling for the link, Lin Yuan hurriedly said.

Li Qiushui came over: "Brother Lin, I'll help you, give me the phone."

So Lin Yuan handed over the phone.

Soon, the toothpaste appeared in the window of Lin Yuan’s homepage.

"Brother Lin, it's done."

After getting his phone back, Lin Yuan continued to talk to the fans in the live broadcast room: "Brothers, if you can, please support us. Of course, we should also consume rationally. Although toothpaste is a necessity, we don't use more than one tube a month, so there is no need to order too much."

However, it was no longer Lin Yuan's decision. Some people bought several boxes, dozens of boxes, or even a whole box. In their words, if they couldn't use it all, they could give it to people around them.
