Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

"Absolutely true! Look, this photo was taken yesterday when they were discussing it." Shen Fei affirmed without changing his expression. He then took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and handed it to Zhao Dong. The photo was taken at the company yesterday. Zhao Jun was staring at Song Ting practicing dance with a lovesick look, while Zhou Yun was sitting on the sofa next to her reading a book. However, because the shooting angle was extremely unconventional, it looked like the two of them were sitting together having a serious discussion.

Pointing to the photo, Shen Fei said in an infectious tone, "Zhou Yun believes that your inventory is not junk, but rather a current trend. She encouraged Zhao Jun to revitalize this batch of goods, and even... she said that if Zhao Jun can succeed in this, she will look at him with new respect."

!!!

Qin Ziyi, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. The boss was really too cunning; he could even make up something like this.

Zhao Dong stared at the photo for a full two minutes before he could believe that the person in the photo was his son.

"Uncle Zhao, you know Zhao Jun. He's the kind of person who's obsessed with saving face, even if it means suffering for it. He's afraid of losing face in front of you if this doesn't work out, so he wants to achieve something first and give you a surprise. As for me..."

Shen Fei smiled, looking completely open and honest: "I run a media company, and business is business. I also have my own selfish motives. If this batch of goods can be sold through my channels, I can also earn some commission. That's a win-win situation."

After listening, Zhao Dong nodded thoughtfully.

"Xiao Shen, here's the deal: I can give you 10,000 pieces of inventory, and I'll give you a 20% cut. I'll also pay you the market price for the slot fee. We can sign a contract for these 10,000 pieces. If you can take this deal, we can expand our cooperation further. How about it?"

"Uncle Zhao, let's not rush into discussing price. How about this: take a look at my proposal first, and I'll come see you in a while. Our company will be organizing a lead generation event in a few days; you can check out the results then."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhao Dong was a bit confused. He couldn't understand what Shen Fei was trying to do. If it was for cooperation, he had already given it to him.

Not enough stock?

With his small company and barely any fans, how much merchandise could he possibly sell?

Followers on short video platforms are not valuable, unlike live streamers on Taobao, whose followers are genuine buyers.

But this guy left too abruptly, which made him a little uneasy.

......

After leaving Anyuan Garment, Shen Fei did not return to the company; instead, he went to work at a food OEM factory.

He went to see Zhao Dong for no other reason than to get to know him and tell him that he could do live-streaming e-commerce.

As for why they didn't accept the other party's order, it's quite simple: given Feiyu Media's current size, the other party simply couldn't offer a good price.

He wants to raise prices, but he has no leverage. After all, he doesn't want a one-off deal; he wants long-term partners.

This factory is not large in scale and mainly does ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) OEM manufacturing.

Shen Fei went in and came out less than twenty minutes later, with an urgent order in his hand.

He ordered 50,000 cotton candies shaped like cat paws.

The packaging is extremely simple: a transparent bag containing five pink and white cat paw marshmallows, each with a cute cat sticker on top.

The cost is extremely low, even outrageously low, only 50 cents a pack.

After returning to the company, Shen Fei immediately called Qin Ziyi over and asked him to apply for a business license in Zhou Yun's name, with the business scope limited to the sale of pre-packaged food.

Then, in the name of Feiyu Media, a live-streaming sales contract was signed with Anyun Foods, with a revenue sharing ratio of 40% and a contract term of three years.

"Brother Fei, what kind of operation is this?" Qin Ziyi was bewildered after hearing this.

"The logic is simple: our company needs to inflate the price of our products in order to raise the fees for subsequent product sales contracts. However, our company currently doesn't have enough leverage to secure a good contract, so we have no choice but to inflate the price ourselves."

"Then...then this order was a waste?" Qin Ziyi thought to himself. As expected of his godfather, even though I don't understand it very well, this roundabout way of speaking just feels really awesome.

"No waste. This time I directly found a manufacturer to process them. The total price of 50,000 cotton candies is 27,000 yuan, and I only paid a deposit of 7,500 yuan. I plan to put them on sale as soon as I get the short video e-commerce permission. I'll use this product to make a good sales report and give Feiyu Media a makeover."

Qin Ziyi gave a thoughtful "oh": "Using Feiyu Media's massive user base to directly drive huge sales?"

"It's hard to say for sure. After all, I'm just speculating right now. We'll have to wait and see how the sales go. The most important thing is that we can't get a good price right now. If we accept the current price, it will be difficult to sign a good contract later."

"Is it like saying 'It's not scarcity we worry about, it's inequality'? But can't we just keep the prices private?"

"Not making it public? Ziyi, you're too naive. Do you really think these capitalists are so rule-abiding? Making prices public is what maximizes their profits. If they make their prices public, we can't raise them. Everyone can come up with their bottom line and negotiate with us. That way, we'll only be able to back down in every negotiation. It's like buying a house. If you already know the developer's bottom line, would you be willing to buy it at a price higher than that?"

After listening, Qin Ziyi hissed, "Godfather, how come you know so many fancy tricks? Where did you learn them all?"

"Self-taught".

Shen Fei replied casually, then stubbed out his cigarette.

What could he say? That he was reborn? That these so-called shady tactics would just be a basic introductory course for MCN agencies ten years from now?

"Read more books in your spare time, instead of watching Wang Kai's live streams all day. How's the novel distribution project on the WeChat official account going? I'll arrange a new project for you once things stabilize."

"I've already set up my WeChat official account. I've signed 20 influencers and over 100 marketing accounts. I've also reached an agreement with the novel platform, and we can sign contracts in a couple of days."

"Well done. I remember you mentioned before that you're currently renting a used luxury car pawn shop for your car model shoots, right? Your next expansion should start with this pawn shop. Have the models learn more about used car sales in their spare time. The potential of the used car market in the short video industry is beyond your imagination."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll go to the pawnshop with you when the time is right."

Since Qin Ziyi joined the company, Shen Fei has had a lot more free time, especially since he can confidently delegate some tedious tasks to him.

Qin Ziyi's most valuable quality is that he will never act on his own initiative when he is unsure about something; he will report it immediately.
