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

Chapter 354 Afraid of getting a sore throat? Drink some herbal tea.

Everyone in the live stream burst out laughing. The number of viewers, which had initially declined due to the need to sell products, began to increase rapidly, and many people couldn't help but join in mocking Ye Xian.

[Wind Blows on My Butt: Brother Xian, are you getting too cocky? You come up with Ye Xiaobai, Zui Honglou, and Zui Gui Jiu, and you think you're a marketing master? I could come up with ten versions of this design in an hour, no designer needed!]

[This old monk, whose Buddhist name is Random: Although I know Brother Xian's products are always of guaranteed quality, how can I present such low-quality packaging? At class reunions or gatherings with girlfriends, wouldn't it be embarrassing to bring a drink like this?]

[Fifth-Rank Brick-Bearing Guard: Is it possible that, Brother Xian, you weren't planning to sell this Hai Ma Coconut Juice to us young people? Is your target customer group the rural market?]

[The boat will sink when it reaches the bridge: You know what, it's actually possible! This design perfectly matches the style of a banquet! Brother Xian, tell me, did you get the inspiration while eating at a banquet?]

……

There were those who mocked and those who agreed, and those who agreed had rather unique perspectives.

[The Egg That Has Nowhere to Go: Am I the only one who thinks this packaging design is funny? Although it's a bit ugly, wouldn't it be something to talk about when I take it out for a meal?]

[This old monk only flirts with flowers, not grass: Ye Xiaobai gave everyone a double dose of inspirational and cynical wisdom, while this Hai Ma coconut juice gives everyone the feeling of extreme LOW! Ugliness to the extreme is trendy! I call it "Ugly Trend"!]

[This humble Taoist priest, whose Buddhist name is Kidney Deficiency: No matter what you think, I'm going to buy a few bottles. Just thinking about bringing out such an ugly drink at a party gives me a sense of exhilaration! I can't wait any longer, get in the car, I'm going to show off!]

[My grades are always causing trouble between me and my parents: This is freshly squeezed coconut juice with no coconut milk or artificial flavoring! So what if the packaging is cheap? Anyway, anything from Brother Xian is guaranteed to be top-notch, so hop on board and place your order!]

……

Seeing that some people were criticizing while others were agreeing, Ye Xian couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth: "I saw someone from a late-night snack shop say that with such beautiful packaging, taking it out for a dinner party would definitely be a showstopper. I have to say, your idea is exactly what I'm looking for!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and many people were typing "Brother Xian is shameless" in the chat.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Seahorse brand coconut juice, currently only available in 1L size, but other sizes will be added later, 13.9 yuan per bottle. Order now, and it will ship in 3 days. 321, get on board!"

"Get on the bus!"

At Ye Xian's command, the backend operations team immediately popped up a link, and many onlookers immediately saw the numbers jumping wildly at the top of the pop-up.

1000 bottles!

2000 bottles!

5000 bottles!

10000 bottles!

In just 5 minutes, 5 bottles of Seahorse Coconut Juice were sold! This sales speed amazed many people, including Qiu Mama, Ding Zhan, and Sun Li.

Everyone thought that with such low-quality packaging, no one would place an order, and even if someone did, it would only be a few die-hard fans.

Who would have thought that 5 bottles would be sold in a short time.

If the production line hadn't just been debugged and production couldn't keep up, and we were to start selling tonight, we probably could have easily sold over 10 bottles.

Standing to the side, Wang Dalong excitedly rubbed his big head and then grabbed Li Dagang, slapping him repeatedly: "It's a success! The first product is a success!"

Li Dagang felt like he was in a dream.

When the "water strategy" was first formulated, everyone wholeheartedly supported it.

But when the packaging design was finalized, everyone felt that there was definitely something wrong with the design. How could anyone be willing to buy such a low-quality drink?

However, no one can accurately predict the aesthetics and preferences of young people today.

As it turns out, Ye Xian has always been at the forefront of fashion.

Even if this fashion is a bit low-class.

Seriously, being so unfashionable is actually the coolest thing ever!

……

Seeing that Seahorse brand coconut juice was selling quite well, Ye Xian reached under the table and pulled out another product.

The packaging design for this product is much more normal.

"What we just sold was a specialty of Haizhou, coconut juice. Now, we're introducing a new product, also a specialty of Haizhou—herbal tea!"

A while ago, I had my birthday and we all ate hot pot together. I don't drink alcohol, but I still got a lot of pimples after eating hot pot.

So, from the family heirloom cookbook, I reconstructed a herbal tea recipe—"Three Flowers, Three Herbs, and One Leaf," namely chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, frangipani, licorice root, mesona root, prunella vulgaris, and buza leaves. After extensive testing, it was found to have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, soothing the liver and stomach, removing dampness and promoting urination, and clearing stomach heat…

Listening to Ye Xian's serious introduction of the red can of beverage in his hand, everyone felt like they were listening to gibberish.

[Red Cloud Fat Fox: So, Brother Xian, is your herbal tea a beverage or a traditional Chinese medicine?]

[The 82 "Fat宅快乐水" (a popular Chinese beverage): It's all Chinese herbal medicine, it's definitely Chinese medicine! Turning Chinese medicine into a drink, Brother Xian, I have to say, your idea is brilliant!]

[My Chinese was taught by the PE teacher: There are plenty of people selling herbal tea, Brother Xian isn't exactly original, is he? It's just that the marketing story is well-crafted. Worried about getting a sore throat from hot pot, he digs up some family heirlooms and creates a herbal tea drink. Typical Brother Xian, he always manages to come up with a whole story for every product he designs!]

[Matcha Soy Milk: Absolutely! He writes books before selling alcohol, and consults ancient texts before selling drinks! Who can resist that? Speaking of which, I thought Brother Xian had forgotten about the ancient book "The Cookbook," but it turned out to be a game-changer!]

……

Upon seeing someone mention the phrase "afraid of getting a sore throat," Ye Xian immediately showed the front of the red can of beverage to the camera: "I named this herbal tea 'Hailaoji,' and the catchy phrase is just like what that late-night snack guy said earlier: 'Afraid of getting a sore throat? Drink Hailaoji!'"

Everyone was stunned when they saw this GG word.

You're a real genius, isn't the term "GG" really that simple and straightforward?

Ye Xian chuckled and said, "Hailaoji is positioned as a hot pot companion. If you're worried about getting a sore throat, have a can of Hailaoji!"

Because of its lower unit price, Hailaji (a type of herbal tea) is sold in cases. A case contains 12 cans and costs 33 yuan. Order now and it will be shipped in 3 days. Get ready! 3, 2, 1, get on board!

"Get on the bus!"

Herbal tea is more acceptable than coconut juice, since the packaging of Hai Ma coconut juice is so unconventional that it's hard for people to accept.

In the same 10 minutes, 3 bottles of Hailaoji were sold out.

Seeing such a fast sales speed, Ye Xian was very satisfied: "Thank you for your support. I know that these two new products have just been launched, and people are buying them more because of me."

However, I believe that once everyone has tasted these two drinks, they will definitely love them! Okay, I'll leave the rest of the time to Auntie. I'll have a drink of water and rest for a bit, and then we'll have a late-night snack together online.

The camera was then turned to Qiu's mother, and Ye Xian approached Wang Dalong and the others. Several men with large gold chains were already bursting with excitement, shouting, "Brother Xian, it's done!"

Ye Xian happily high-fived them, saying, "Now it's all up to you guys!"

Wang Dalong thumped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on the quality."

"Also, start distributing the goods immediately!"

Ye Xian instructed, "The fans are right about these two products; they are mainly targeting the lower-tier market, so seizing offline channels is more important than online channels."

In addition, we must accelerate the acquisition of our key offline stores and the training of our staff! That is our top priority.

A dazzling light shone in the eyes of Wang Dalong and the others.

If Ye Xian's "water strategy" plan was like a pie in the sky before...

Now, Ye Xian's "water strategy" has completely shown them a money-printing machine!

The money is right in front of you, so just go for it!
