I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 239 What's with all this competitive spirit on the screen?

Ye Xian leads a line of singing, and all the landlords sing along.

however.

When the landlords opened their mouths, Ye Xian was stunned, Qiu's mother covered her face, and many fans burst into laughter.

[The best names have all been given by dogs: Haha, these landlord uncles are so funny, they have all sorts of accents!]

[A sigh: Perhaps God gave them a golden key, but not a golden voice?]

[Having learned my lesson in the cornfield: I feel that if all else fails, our late-night karaoke club should step in!]

[Masked Man in the Cornfield: No, no, no, I feel that if we let the members of Cape No. 7 sing, I think that as soon as they open their mouths, the opponents will laugh so hard they won't have the strength to row.]

……

Ye Xian never expected that these uncles, who frequented nightclubs, KTVs, and clubs for years, would sing so off-key.

Autumn's mother was surprised to find that after several years, the landlords' singing skills were still as terrible as ever.

Once the landlords opened their mouths, they also discovered the problem.

Ye Feng glared at Ye Li sideways: "Captain, was that a donkey braying just now?"

"Bullshit! I was on key the whole time, you sang like a donkey!"

Ye Li, of course, denied it, pointing his finger at Ye Feng's nose and yelling, "You were always the worst singer when we were kids! I knew you were tone-deaf a long time ago! You always dragged us all down!"

A younger man pointed at the two of them without any mercy and yelled, "Uncle Li, Uncle Feng, neither of you should say anything to the other. Standing next to you just now, I felt like I was listening to a tug-of-war!"

"Ye Hong, you little bastard, do you even have the right to speak?" Ye Li and Ye Feng immediately turned their anger towards Ye Hong.

Ye Hong remained unfazed: "What? Our family owns just as many buildings as yours, so why don't I have a say?"

[Yan Zhi You Li: I can't laugh anymore! Turns out, the landlords' team speaks based on real strength!]

[Steel Pipe Beauty: Tsk tsk tsk, so whoever has money can have a loud voice? If that's the case, I feel like my voice must be the quietest!]

[Frequent drownings: This is truly the world of the rich! Even their mockery is so blatant!]

[There's plenty of time: In other words, does being broke disqualify you from arguing? Look, even Brother Xian doesn't dare to speak up!]

……

The landlords' loud arguments caused the number of viewers in the live stream to surge again, exceeding 100 million.

Where else can you see a billionaire pointing fingers and cursing like this, especially without spending a penny? Many late-night diners, with a "let's watch the show" mentality, called out to their friends.

"Come and see, billionaires are arguing online!"

"Billionaires got into a fight because they were tone-deaf!"

"Dozens of billionaires are arguing in Brother Xian's live stream!"

……

In just over ten minutes, the number of viewers in Ye Xian's live stream reached a new high, heading straight for 120 million.

Ye Xian watched the landlords blaming each other and wanted to speak up to mediate, but Qiu's mother stopped him, saying, "Don't try to stop them, let them argue! They'll quiet down in a bit without you having to!"

Ye Xian expressed his doubts.

This group of people are arguing so much they're almost fighting, and you're telling me they'll quiet down soon?

Soon, Ye Xian saw Ye Li walk to the front, press his hands down, signaling everyone to stop arguing: "Alright, I'll say a few words."

The landlords gradually quieted down, but some of them still harbored resentment towards each other.

Damn it, it was clearly you who sang terribly, and now you're criticizing me.

"Some people really don't sing very well!"

Ye Li's first words drew criticism: "Among those 'some people,' are you one of them?"

Ye Li blushed and said, "Alright, let's not worry about these details! Our priority now is to learn this song! How about this, we'll stay here for now, listen to Ye Xian's instructions, learn how to sing it, and then we'll move to my house's karaoke room."

Same rules as always: whoever can't learn or sing well tonight has to buy midnight snacks.

"good!"

The landlords have everything they need, except to save face.

How much does it cost to buy a late-night snack?

It would be shameful for anyone to buy it!

[They've got the willpower, but they're short on cash: What's with all this competitive spirit on the screen?]

[The Longest Song in the Tang Dynasty: A single song ignited the competitive spirit of these billionaires? They weren't even this eager to collect rent!]

[Wind Blows, Egg Doesn't Cool: Installing a karaoke system at home, is this some kind of impromptu singing session? The problem is, why did I think the team leader sang the worst?]

[Foolish to the extreme, yet endearing: Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear! He's my landlord! If he finds out, my rent will go up again this year!]

……

More than a million viewers gathered in Ye Xian's live stream just to watch a group of billionaires sing off-key.

The scene was absolutely beautiful.

Ye Xian was almost laughing himself to death. These grown men remembered all the words correctly, but they were completely off-key!

By the end of the song, Ye Xian had lost all will to live!

"Gentlemen, this is such a great team song, you don't want other villages to learn it and sing it better than us, right?"

"That's impossible!"

Ye Li waved his hand and pointed towards his house: "Come on, everyone, let's go to my house. Tonight, whoever sings badly will have to kneel in the ancestral hall."

The landlords, howling and shouting, rushed towards Ye Li's house, while Ye Xian stood still, showing no desire to give anything away.

[Save me first, she has a boyfriend: Xian Ge has lost! Xian Ge debuted three and a half months ago, 100 days ago, and released 26 hit songs, yet he's been defeated by a group of billionaires.]

[The fairy with a beer belly: The problem is, Brother Xian doesn't dare to lose his temper. These people are either his elders or richer than him!]

[Nothing's more popular than Aunt Flo: Shivering, Xian Ge can only find a semblance of dignity when teaching songs! Come, Xian Ge, find solace in your sister's strong embrace!]

[The Carefree Ghost: Get lost, you pervert! Where's Brother Xian hurt? He needs a full-body massage to relax.]

……

After seeing off the landlords, Ye Xian turned to look at the live stream camera.

"Hey everyone, please soothe my wounded heart. Let's all come to the shared bike, choose our favorite products, and place our orders to cheer me up."

Everyone burst into laughter, and fans in the live stream flooded the chat with comments like, "We're just looking, not buying. Our main focus is on providing companionship!"

Ye Xian tried to joke with everyone, but seeing that they weren't fooled, he laughed and said, "Alright, it's late, everyone should get some rest. There's no training camp tomorrow, so take a day off to recharge for the competition the day after tomorrow. However, the filming of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' will still be broadcast live tomorrow, so I hope you all enjoy it. That's all for today's broadcast, goodnight everyone."

Goodnight, Brother Xian!

The late-night snackers reluctantly flooded the screen with messages, and Ye Xian signaled to Qiu's mother to end the live stream.

Ding Zhan stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Is your body able to handle it? You've been pushing yourself too hard lately!"

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "I'm still young. The training these past few days has actually made me more energetic. I don't even need to take a nap anymore. After the amateur group competition the day after tomorrow, the training camp won't be so intense anymore, and then our rhythm will return to normal."

By the way, how are the sales of Ye Xiaobai and Zui Honglou?

Ding Zhan shook his head and said, "Offline channels are basically closed. People are unwilling to sell new wines. Online, your store, Li Xin and Duan Fei's stores, and Chen Xu and Li Hong's stores combined have sold less than 10,000 bottles in this period."

Ye Xian was quite satisfied: "Uncle Ding, you should be content! For an unknown new brand to be able to pre-sell 10,000 bottles in such a short time is already a great success. What you need to do now is organize production."

Don't rush the sales. Once the first batch of goods reaches the customers, positive reviews will naturally drive repeat purchases and lead to new customers. Sales in the internet age are different from before.

Don't bother with those offline people. After a while, they'll be begging you to open up agency rights to them!

Okay, the day after tomorrow, for every fan from our Cape No. 7 Dragon Boat Team who comes to cheer us on at the event, I'll give each of them a bottle of Ye Xiaobai liquor and a bottle of Zui Hong Lou liquor. All expenses will be charged to my account through the company.

In the early stages, you must be willing to make sacrifices!

You have to give up something to gain something!
