Chapter 183 Is this how you sell goods?

No, how exactly was it sold?
You can just say a few words on your phone and someone places an order, but what about the money?
Chaochao also asked this question, "Uncle Sun, have all these oranges been sold? Where is the money? How did everyone pay?"

"The money everyone paid is temporarily held on the platform... well, the money is with the middleman on the phone. After we ship the oranges out, once they receive them and confirm that the goods are intact and there are no problems, they can confirm receipt on their phones. Then the middleman will transfer the money to my account, and I will then take the money out and distribute it to everyone."

Chaochao wondered, wouldn't the middleman pocket the money?
But seeing how everyone seems to have gotten used to it, it probably won't happen again.

So, they really sold 25,000 units so quickly?

That's amazing!

The expressions of the people of Daqi under the sky were fascinating.

Emperor Jingxuan's expression was even more complicated. "So that's how it is. So that's how you can buy things."

The others were also shocked, especially the merchants from Daqi, who were amazed. They had no idea that goods could be sold in this way. They didn't need shops, employees, or to go around soliciting customers or hawking them in. All they needed was a mobile phone, a table, and an introduction to sell their products.

That's just too...unbelievable.

Has it developed into this way in later generations?
Oh right, they suddenly remembered that Jian Yunsang had never gone shopping, but she had bought a lot of things for Chaochao.

I originally thought it was because the He family was rich and powerful that merchants would automatically deliver goods to their door with just one phone call.

Just like some wealthy families, when they need to make clothes for the changing seasons, the manager of a fabric shop will come to their door with the latest fabrics to take their measurements, and the owner of a jewelry store will come with the latest jewelry styles for them to choose from.

In later generations, it was also very convenient for ordinary people to buy things.

"In this way, we can save a lot of costs." There's no need for shop rent, no need to hire someone to watch the shop all year round, and the prices won't be too high, deterring customers.

"But if that's the case, then we don't need to open shops anymore. But I see there are still many shops on the street."

"Perhaps these shops are for customers who want to see the goods in person. Didn't you hear what they said earlier? That previous livestreamer sold inferior goods, causing many customers to end up in the hospital, so he was criticized. This shows that some people might buy counterfeit products on their phones. If customers mind that, they might as well go directly to the shops to buy."

"That's right."

Sun Huanyu was already preparing to end the live stream. "That's all for today. I'll be back tomorrow, starting around 10 a.m. To the family members who placed orders today, we'll have someone pick the fruit tomorrow and ship it to you as soon as possible."

The village chief hurriedly said, "No need for tomorrow, we'll go pick them right away. It'll be quick. We'll try our best to pack the oranges tonight and ship them out first thing tomorrow morning."

It was around 3 p.m., which was not late at all for the villagers of Jinwen Village.

They could easily hire more people to process these 20,000-plus kilograms of oranges; if there's not enough time, they can pack them up tomorrow.

The villagers were very excited and eager to ship the oranges on the spot, fearing that something might go wrong and the oranges would rot in their hands. They were very grateful to Sun Huanyu and Chaochao, and Chaochao was very happy. After Sun Huanyu ended the live stream, he still said to the village chief, "We don't need the slot fee or the labor fee, but the contract still needs to be signed. We haven't shipped the goods yet, so let's get this sorted out first. Let me make this clear from the start: these oranges can't be of inferior quality. They all have to be picked and shipped immediately. They can't be small and sour. If someone receives the goods and says the quality is too poor, I definitely won't pay them. I'll refund my fans. You're the village chief, so you have to oversee the quality."

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about that. We plan to make Jinwen Village's oranges bigger and stronger. If I'm short-sighted and only care about immediate interests, and my reputation is ruined, how will we make a living from this in the future?"

The village of Jinwen started making money by growing oranges after he became the village head.

In recent years, more and more oranges have been planted, and many villagers who had gone out to work have returned. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that their oranges are delicious. This year, he agreed to let online influencers promote the brand through live streaming, and they even made special packaging boxes for it.

Who knew such an accident would happen? Fortunately, the oranges have still been sold.

Sun Huanyu nodded, and Uncle Qi and the others came over to thank them. Then they called out to everyone to happily go pick oranges.

The village chief then took out the contract, which was the same template he had signed with the internet celebrity. He Nanzhou took a look and found that Jinwen Village had made quite a few concessions.

However, it must be said that the prices of goods sold through live streaming by online influencers are indeed higher than those sold directly to fruit vendors, so the villagers can still make a profit.

After signing the contract, it was already quite late.

Chaochao took advantage of this season to go for a stroll around the neighborhood with Jian Yunsang and Su Fangrong, and even dug up some winter bamboo shoots, planning to bring them back to her grandparents as an extra dish.

Originally, everyone was supposed to eat at the Su family's house, but because of the live-streaming orange sales, the village chief had already asked his family to prepare the meal early on. He not only invited Chaochao and others, but also brought Grandpa Su along to join them.

The village head wanted them to stay in the village, but Jian Yunsang and the others had their toiletries at a hotel in the county town.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group set off to return.

Chaochao was a little tired and fell asleep in the car.

As darkness fell, the people of Daqi couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief.

Emperor Jingxuan rubbed his temples; he had received a lot of information today.

First, he learned about greenhouse cultivation in the rural fields early in the morning. Then, he learned about cement manufacturing, which can be used to build bridges, roads, and houses. Next, he discovered that the natural gas that could be lit by hand was the fire well they now use. What excited him even more was learning about the existence of potatoes, and that they, along with sweet potatoes and corn, were the three treasures for disaster relief. Finally, he learned how trade was conducted in later generations. The functions of a mobile phone are truly amazing.

The information received was so overwhelming that, starting from the morning, unless there was an urgent matter to attend to, all officials of the third rank and above remained in the main hall to discuss the contents of the sky, and even their meals were eaten in the palace.

Now, it's finally over.

Emperor Jingxuan was exhausted, but he still took advantage of the time while Chaochao was sleeping to review the memorials.

In particular, the production of cement is the most urgent matter that needs to be addressed immediately. Hopefully, Kang Sheng can successfully test it as soon as possible and put it into the construction of Daqi.
