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

Chapter 535 Yes, Zhao Zilong is me! (Seeking monthly votes)

Ye Xian quickly used a new topic to suppress the news of his official announcement.

On March 20, a new store opened in Beijing, and the entire mall was packed with people that day. The mall had to implement crowd control measures to keep out the fans who came after hearing the news.

Ye Xian personally attended the opening ceremony of the new store, and friends and celebrities from both inside and outside the industry, including Afif, came to celebrate.

Ye Xian used his own account to livestream the opening of the new store.

[Qiuye Select offline experience store? Is this a formal move to expand into offline retail nationwide?]

I've been to Haizhou's flagship store; they have so many rare and unique items. I never imagined that Brother Xian would open his first branch in Beijing! I really want to go!

[I heard this store not only sells goods, but also has all sorts of interactive games and activities. Group leader, please show us around!]

This kind of shop is destined never to come to our small city. We can only say we might pop in while traveling. I'm so jealous of the late-night food scene in Beijing!

……

Ye Xian greeted his friends for a while, then took the live-streaming phone from Sun Li.

"Haha, hello everyone, this is Ye Xian! Today is the opening of the Beijing branch of Qiuye Yanxuan's offline flagship store. I was busy with the ribbon-cutting ceremony just now, so I didn't have time to do a live broadcast. Now, I will personally give you a tour of this flagship store!"

Even after becoming a top streamer with 1 million followers, Ye Xian still tries to do his live streams personally as much as possible, because he knows very well that everything he has comes from his fans. If he doesn't serve his fans well, then everything will be lost.

"I've been to the Haizhou flagship store and tried some of the late-night snacks. The difference between the Beijing store and the Haizhou store isn't that big. If I had to point out a difference, it would be that the Haizhou store is larger, has a wider variety of products, and offers more interactive experiences."

The first thing you see upon entering is a life-size model of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, dressed in the most popular Baoyu-Daiyu couple outfit.

On the left is the Bingxue Micheng Beijing store, Bingxue Micheng's first store in a first-tier city. This year, Bingxue Micheng will also be opening stores in first- and second-tier cities. We hope everyone will come and support us.

When Ye Xian mentioned that Ice and Snow Honey City was starting to expand into first- and second-tier cities this year, the fans cheered.

Previously, Bingxue Micheng had been focusing its expansion on third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier cities, which puzzled many fans. However, when Ye Xian zoomed in on Bingxue Micheng's price list during the live stream, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

[Wow, the price is exactly the same as Bingxue Micheng in my fifth-tier city! This is Beijing! The labor, rent, and utilities here are several times higher than back home! How can Xian Ge make money?]

[No wonder Brother Xian has never opened a Bingxue Micheng (Ice and Snow Honey City) in first-tier cities; if he had opened a store in Beijing at this price point, he would definitely have lost money!]

[Now that Ice and Snow Honey City has taken off, this price might be a bit low, but since it's located next to an experience store and they mutually attract customers, it's likely to be profitable!]

[I heard that Bingxue Micheng is going to implement a store manager partnership system this year, and more than a thousand store managers are now frantically pushing for sales targets, all in order to secure more equity when signing the contract.]

……

Seeing that fans had mentioned the price of Bingxue Micheng, Ye Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Bingxue Micheng will have the same price across the country. It won't increase because of first-tier cities, nor will it decrease because of fifth-tier cities. It's just a matter of making a little more or a little less profit. So everyone, just wait for the Bingxue Micheng near your home to open!"

"The island display in the center of the store is divided into different areas according to different categories such as food, fruit, daily necessities, cosmetics, and anime merchandise. All the products that have sold well in Qiuye Yanxuan's live broadcast room are sold here. Drop shipping is also supported here, so if friends who are traveling come to visit, they can choose to have them shipped home."

Ye Xian didn't introduce the ordinary product area much, since everyone had seen it many times in the live stream. Instead, he went to an area decorated with red volcanic lava: "This is the interactive experience area. You can play interactive card games such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Dream of the Red Chamber Kill, as well as script-based murder mystery games. You can form a team with friends or team up with strangers."

There's an electronic team leaderboard here. Every time you win a match, you can enter your team's name. If you want to challenge a team ranked higher than you, you can also issue a challenge here.

This is the first season. Teams can earn different levels of honor, such as Bronze, Challenger, Diamond, and Master, based on their points. These honors can then be exchanged for corresponding badges in the shop.

Seeing this interactive design, many fans were immediately impressed. These kinds of interactive games for parties are what young people love most these days. This offline experience store provides a place for everyone to play, so you can imagine that many trendy players in Beijing will gather here.

And this points leaderboard is especially ruthless!

What young person isn't full of youthful vigor? The competition for rankings will undoubtedly be fierce. Bronze medals, King medals, Diamond medals, and Master medals will, needless to say, become the most sought-after collectibles among anime and manga fans.

Damn, Brother Xian really understands young people!

……

After visiting the interactive area, Ye Xian led everyone to the game area.

That's right, this store also has a super-large screen video game area.

"There are some games adapted from my works here, such as Dynasty Warriors, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber: The Making of a Child, Pokémon, etc. You can participate and experience them here. In the future, this place will also be the designated competition venue for these games. At that time, you will see a huge crowd of spectators."

The design of this area was previously kept highly confidential; even the flagship store in Haizhou didn't have it. No one expected that Ye Xian would act so quickly, already producing test versions of several games.

[What did I just hear? A Dream of Red Mansions Raising Diary? Doesn't this game sound a bit too unserious? Does it mean Jia Baoyu is building a harem?]

[As expected, Xian Ge understands anime and manga best! No game compares to harem simulation games! It's a pity there's no H/version, otherwise I would definitely buy it!]

[The Three Kingdoms War Chronicles sounds so exciting! The Romance of the Three Kingdoms comic and animation are now available online and are already a huge hit! When will this game be released? I'm pre-ordering!]

[Pokémon games? Are they the kind for kids? That doesn't quite fit the store's style.]

……

When Ye Xian saw a fan asking, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "The audience for Pokémon isn't as small as you might think. In fact, many young people also really like Pikachu. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see the Pokémon section."

Ye Xian turned around and walked towards another area, which was the Pokémon Research Institute. Various wonderful and cute Pokémon figurines attracted many young people to take photos, check in, and buy them.

Further on, in the Three Kingdoms area, Zhao Zilong of Changshan stands at the entrance, carrying a bright silver spear. His lifelike appearance gives one the illusion that this is Ye Xian in ancient costume.

"You didn't see wrong, hehe, the original model for Zhao Zilong is me!"

Ye Xian touched Zhao Zilong's face, looking narcissistic.

"Of all the characters in the Three Kingdoms period, my favorite is Zhao Zilong, so I plan to play that role in the TV series adaptation of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'!"
