Chapter 503: Xiaojiang receives goods_1 Chapter 503: Xiaojiang receives goods_1 Boss Wang was far more meticulous than Boss Qian.

He walked several rounds in the Peach Garden, randomly picking large, small, intact, and slightly twisted peaches, one by one washed them in the bucket, and tasted them, eating with such satisfaction!

Boss Qian watched with complex emotions, “Come on, you can tell if the peaches are good just by tasting one. Why pick so many, as if there could be a bad one? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll spoil your appetite and won’t be able to eat lunch?”

“That’s true,” Boss Wang replied honestly. “But don’t you think it’s really interesting how every time we eat peaches, this dog sits beside us staring without even blinking?”

Boss Qian: …Who is the real dog between you and Dawang?

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dawang walk over to the red bucket, disdainfully splash the water with his paw twice, then dunk his head in, making a “kuakuakua” drinking noise.

Boss Qian: …

He looked at the peach in Boss Wang’s hand.

Boss Wang: …

Was he still able to swallow the bite in his mouth?

Finally, as if to throw caution to the wind, he saw the sun rising and decisively concluded, “Alright, let’s partner up and take the whole orchard!”

As long as it was about business, no one would know he washed the peaches with the water from the dog’s bowl.

Hearing this, Boss Qian wasn’t sure whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel a sense of loss, “I was thinking, if you don’t take it, I could borrow some money from you…”

“Look at you!” Boss Wang said, pretending to be angry. “Isn’t it better to share the risk with someone? Later on, we can even complement each other, you watch the goods while I run to the market…”

That crafty old thief! Boss Qian was enraged: “Why don’t I run to the market?”

“It’s all the same, all the same!” Boss Wang reassured him. “The goods still have to go through you, and when I come back from the market, you just add your contact information. It’s the same thing.”

Is it the same? One already negotiated, while the other only appears when signing contracts, people who want to do business next year will definitely prioritize the one they’ve negotiated with!

This sly old Wang!

The two of them went back and forth, bargaining hard.

In the end, after discussing with Song Tan, they settled on a price of 50, and then just waited for the peaches to be weighed and loaded onto the truck.

…

Brother Xiaozhang came early in the morning today.

His wife had scolded him till midnight for the few boxes of peaches he brought home yesterday–they were just too expensive!

But after eating one, she didn’t say that anymore. Instead, she confiscated Brother Xiaozhang’s share of the peaches.

Saying she’d give them to him depending on his behavior…

Nevertheless, Brother Xiaozhang felt he had no chance, so he simply took advantage of the quiet morning to help Song Tan with packaging, maybe even score a couple of peaches to eat.

Song Tan was short on hands, so seeing this, she quickly handed him the orders from yesterday that hadn’t been packed yet to help check, while she picked and packed two more boxes of peaches to send to Imperial City.

The peaches on the mountain were said to be all taken, but in reality, a few trees in the corners with slower growth were left untouched.

Even though Boss Qian and Boss Wang said they took the whole garden, in fact, those little peaches not yet matured weren’t allowed to be picked–the small peaches couldn’t sell for much, could easily affect the overall quality, although they tasted good, picking them now would be a waste, wouldn’t it?

Just leave them on the trees.

That way, Song Tan’s family could still enjoy a burst of peaches every now and then…

All parties were happy with the cooperation, including Wu Lei, who was hauling things up and down the mountain–
Every time he thought about how these peaches, a mix of his hard work and money, would end up in his parents’ and Lili’s hands, he could taste happiness amidst the hardship, bubbling with joy.

Seeing this, Song Tan could only shake her head–
What can I say? Even though they think Lili has many flaws, and the emotional investment is not equal, the person involved is happily engrossed.

Indeed, falling in love is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it’s cold or warm.

…

Meanwhile,
Xiaojiang, the day after passionately photographing peaches, received the passionate delivery from Wind Speed Express.

There were three boxes in total–one roll of straw matting, one box of farm products from the store, and a box of peaches.

For this, he specially took photos and posted a teaser, announcing a live broadcast promptly at 8:00 PM.

Perhaps due to the minor popularity gained from the previous argument in the live streaming circle, as soon as he started the broadcast, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded into the room, and the number was steadily climbing, causing him to nervously sweat in the palms of his hands.

The team beside him also furrowed their brows.

Before the broadcast, they had had a round of debate.

The team meant–
“Xiaojiang, today’s strategy is, whether good or bad, you have to pick out the positives first. Then point out one or two key flaws–praise before you criticize, you know?”

“After picking out the issues, we then sincerely apologize at the end. Just say, no matter what, we should not use our mental superiority to hurt the innocent Host Qiaoqiao…”

These lines were the common strategies used by major hosts over the years, nothing novel, but sure winners in effectiveness.

But Xiaojiang found himself unable to speak.

He had a vague feeling of another idea in his mind.

His assistant, however, seemed hesitant:
“Don’t do this… let’s just say it as it is, I think that’s better. The audience has seen too many of these apologetic routines, it might backfire if we try to be too clever.”

“Brother Xiaojiang, since we said it’s an unboxing live stream, let’s not bother with those things, let’s just say whatever comes during the live broadcast!”

“The old fans like us for being straightforward; if it’s not good, we should criticize it… ”
“You don’t understand!” a colleague objected.

“You all saw the last live stream, how high was the traffic when Xiaojiang started off aggressive and confrontational? It was just a moment of carelessness, getting caught by someone else’s tactics, which led to a reversal of public opinion, everyone began speaking well of that Qiaoqiao, and Xiaojiang lost a lot of fans!”

“If we don’t show a change of attitude this time, the new viewers attracted by that broadcast will all be lost!”

He spoke earnestly, “Xiaojiang, think about it! It’s very hard to win back old fans once they’re gone. Let’s not bother with them. But if you can’t retain the new ones, the data will only get worse and worse!”

“This time, you must subtly instill your blameless philosophy to everyone in this way! Only by doing this can you secure your fan base!”

The assistant looked at Xiaojiang hesitantly.

Xiaojiang didn’t speak but silently moved the several boxes onto the live streaming desk, then said, “It’s time.”

It was 7:50 PM.

Everyone hurriedly adjusted the camera, cleaned up the background, and then prepared themselves. The team set up reminder keywords behind the live streaming camera and patted Xiaojiang on the shoulder:
“Don’t worry, I’ll go online and search for a few flaws of the peaches for you to talk about later–don’t start with the peaches, warm up with the other two boxes first, and wait until after nine o’clock when the flow of people is at its peak to start on the peaches.”

Then, taking another look at Xiaojiang: “Not bad, you look slightly worn out, which is good, I’ll lower the filter for you later.”

Xiaojiang didn’t respond but simply opened the live streaming room–
“Good evening. To the new friends here, good evening!”

“Thank you, everyone!”

“Thank you for still being willing to support the live stream…”
