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

Chapter 296 The pie of ideals is no match for the corruption of money!

The commission rate for live-streaming e-commerce on Kuaishou is generally between 10% and 30%.

Commissions for cosmetics are generally higher, ranging from 20% to 30%, while commissions for baby and maternity products are lower, ranging from 10% to 15%.

For food products, the levels are generally higher, exceeding 20%.

Qiuye Yanxuan has only one condition for cooperating with all merchants: no slot fee, and they directly receive 18% sales commission.

This is an extremely favorable offer.

Many food manufacturers are happy to cooperate with Ye Xian, even though he has higher requirements for product quality and after-sales service than others.

Even some manufacturers from other categories are contacting Qiuye Yanxuan, wanting Ye Xian to promote their products.

However, this would infringe upon the interests of influential bloggers.

It's fine if you don't want the slot fee, because slot fees have been gradually disappearing in the past year or two, and everyone is accepting this fact.

Such a low commission rate is somewhat against the rules.

……

Nowadays, Ye Xian's suppliers are no longer just local merchants in Haizhou, but food merchants all over the Tang Dynasty. The GMV of 1000 million+ RMB per live broadcast is not fake. Even if he has not yet reached the top, he is already a force to be reckoned with.

Therefore, some businesses will use Ye Xian's achievements and cooperation terms to negotiate with those big V's.

Look, Ye Xian, a top-tier second-tier celebrity, doesn't charge a slot fee, has a low commission rate, and sells goods so quickly. Shouldn't your commission rate also be reduced a bit?

There's more than one two-faced merchant like this.

As a result, Ye Xian unknowingly offended a large number of streamers.

Fortunately, Qiu's mother discovered the problem in time. She keenly noticed that recently some accounts were stirring up trouble in the live broadcast room, and there were also some malicious orders and complaints, as well as negative reviews.

This is unavoidable in the business world.

Qiu's mother reported this matter to Ye Xian, and Ye Xian realized that he had cut off someone's source of income.

When I first started, I was thinking of quickly opening up the market, and I had such high requirements for quality.

Now that he is about to reach 4000 million followers, he is better than a first-tier star, and his influence is not much worse than that of a first-tier star. At this point, he has become a living advertisement.

It's inevitable that they'll be taken advantage of by businesses.

However, Ye Xian does not intend to change the commission rate: "We have already built a good reputation. Raising the commission rate now will only damage our own reputation. Moreover, by giving profits to manufacturers, they can live comfortably and use a portion of their profits to improve product quality and after-sales service. This is a virtuous cycle."

The live-streaming e-commerce market on Kuaishou will inevitably undergo a reshuffle sooner or later. In the past few years, the market was just emerging and growing wildly. The quality of products sold on Kuaishou was on par with that on Pinduoduo, so Kuaishou and Pinduoduo have always had the highest return rates in the industry.

Now? Now everyone has returned to rationality and no longer blindly trusts livestreamers. After falling into many traps, they have naturally begun to return to the original form of e-commerce, using product reviews, merchant reputation, and buyer photos as the standard for placing orders. Moreover, it will be more difficult to fake orders in the future.

The difference between interest-based e-commerce and traditional e-commerce isn't as magical as some people claim. If you don't return to the essence of the product, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later. When we do live-streaming e-commerce, we need to focus on long-term benefits.

Here's what you should do, Auntie. You should tell those merchants that if they use our conditions to pressure their competitors, we might directly remove their products from the shelves. Moreover, we will be stricter in evaluating these merchants in the future, and products with quality problems will be removed from the shelves immediately.

We've moved past the stage of begging for favors; now, they're begging us to promote their products, so we need to be assertive.

After following Ye Xian in live-streaming e-commerce for so long, Qiu's mother increasingly felt that Ye Xian had a forward-thinking perspective. He didn't focus on short-term gains and losses, but rather on long-term fundamentals.

Currently, Ye Xiaobai, Zui Honglou, "Simplified Dream of the Red Chamber", Dream of the Red Chamber character figurines, blind boxes, character cards, and other self-operated products are selling extremely well, which is due to Ye Xian's insistence on developing self-operated products.

These past few days, Ye Xian has been inspecting some manufacturers, wanting to acquire some food factories. This is also because he wants to establish a foothold in the real economy and grow bigger and stronger.

After hearing about this, the four Wang brothers, including Wang Dalong, hatched a wicked plan.

They came directly to our door.

"Brother Xian, you shouldn't ask outsiders for such a good thing, right?" Wang Dalong's shiny head illuminated Ye Xian's chairman's office at the winery.

As Ye Xian gestured for Wang Dalong to sit down and have some tea, he chuckled, "You guys have pretty good information."

Li Dagang, being impatient, said directly, "Brother Xian, we were the first to cooperate. If you want to open a factory, why go through all that trouble? Just take our Hai Ma Food Factory and use it."

Ye Xian chuckled: "If I really took it, would you guys starve back in the three northern provinces?"

Ye Xian understood perfectly what these people meant.

Having worked together for so long, he was basically certain that these four men were definitely true men of character.

He originally intended to do it himself, but he didn't have that much energy. Now that these people have taken the initiative to come to him, he is tempted.

……

Among time travelers, there are many experts who can single-handedly build a business empire.

But Ye Xian never believed it, unless there was a cheat code.

Human energy is limited.

In this alternate world, Ye Xian's company has annual sales exceeding 10 billion.

Every day, people line up outside the boss's office waiting to be summoned.

Some people might queue for a whole day and still not get a chance to be seen. Sometimes, a single phone call from the boss can take more than half an hour to answer, and these calls can't be ignored because they might be from a superior or an important business partner.

In this situation, the boss's energy is divided infinitely, and he simply can't take care of everything.

Therefore, the larger the company, the more top talents it needs and the stronger the team it needs. If all the employees are hired and no profits are shared with the executives, then it is easy for the company to collapse.

If you treat your employees like employees, you'll only end up with a bunch of lazy bums.

If you treat your employees like your boss, you will definitely gain a group of business partners.

Ye Xian's greatest admiration in this other world is for Fatty, who turned the supermarket into the number one in this world and became a role model for countless business tycoons.

However, many people cannot replicate Fatty's model because they only ask their employees to learn his services but are unwilling to share profits with them. This results in increased burden on employees after learning, leading to greater complaints from them.

The boss is always wondering, "I'm paying you to study, but why are you getting worse and worse?"

If revenue doesn't increase, and you keep talking about cost reduction and efficiency improvement, speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness, and prioritizing service, how many employees can stay?

This is the fundamental reason why it's so difficult for businesses to operate nowadays.

There's a reason why Fatty was able to turn his supermarket into a nationally renowned tourist attraction and a model for corporate study tours across the country.

Therefore, Ye Xian was willing to give up his shares in the winery and also his shares in the food factory.

Only in this way will everyone be willing to work hard.

An ideal pie is no match for the corrupting influence of money.

……

Wang Dalong slapped Li Dagang aside, telling him to step aside: "Brother Xian, you're a smart guy, and we all really like your way of doing things. Let me be blunt, we want to get in your car."

Ye Xian leisurely took a sip of tea: "With your current sales volume and profits so high, are you willing to give it up?"

Wang Dalong chuckled, touching his large gold chain, "What's a little money? Even the best stuff won't sell as well as your Ye Xiaobai or Zui Honglou! Brother Xian, we've invested all our money in Hai Ma Food Factory. You can add some more, and we can form a new company. What do you think?"

Having laid his mind out, Ye Xian no longer held back and revealed his thoughts in full: "If you really want to play with me, then you have to do things my way."

The four men with thick gold chains jumped up almost simultaneously: "Brother Xian, whatever you say, we'll do! From now on, we're employees of Qiuye Selection!"
