Chapter 83: The screams
Translated by me, edited by dpetro.
In the car, Xu Xiaohu happily asked: “How much did you get this Ford Mondeo for? This car is just too awesome! Sounds just like a supercar and even has such beautiful interior decor.
Ye Qing, who was just about to welcome him, was pissed to the point of wanting to smack him silly.
“Look you dimwit, look at the logo on the wheel.” Ye Qing angrily stated: “You see the silver winged English logo?”
“Aston Martin?” Xu Xiaohu, with an expression full of incomprehension read and asked ‘what brand is this? I’ve never heard of it……’
Ye Qing upon hearing this could only submit, saying this was a new Ford Mondeo, costing around 800k.
“You got any friends here?”
“Of course, I know some beautiful girls from the driving academy as well.”
“Call and ask them if any of them want to do sales marketing, or be a customer service representative. I need 10 in total, if you can’t find enough ask them to bring their sisters, as for pay, 3000 a month.”
“Then go to the electronic market and get me 20 desktops with i7 CPUs and 16GBs of RAM. Get a sense of how much it costs online, before you get ripped off over there.”
“Also, gonna need matching sets of office desks and chairs, printers, copiers, and every other necessity for an office.”
Having finished listing everything, Ye Qing asked for his bank account and immediately wired over 300,000.
“Holy shit 300,000? Uncle, you opening a net store?” Having received a transfer of 300,000, Xu Xiaohu almost threw his phone out the window.
“God damn it, don’t be shocked at whatever you see alright? If you’re like this outside, then there goes all my face.” Ye Qing smacked the back of his head: “Also get yourself a new iPhone 6S, and a couple sets of professional clothing.”
Xu Xiaohu scratched his head, then pulled out his cell phone, and gave a call to those girls whom he had just met.
The hiring of customer service representatives was surprisingly successful……
Xu Xiaohu only made 3 calls before those girls filled all the spots.
And reason was all due to Ye Qing. That Lagonda of his had its price immediately Baidued out by them. Now upon hearing that Xu Xiaohu was looking for people to work for his uncle, they immediately gave up on trying to learn how to drive.
Having dropped Xu Xiaohu in front of the computer market, Ye Qing raced off towards the downtown area.
In recent years, property values had kept on dropping. The buildings in the golden downtown area had many many open areas up for rent.
Ye Qing only made one visit before the manager treated him as his god of fortune, and offered him an exclusive offer to rent out an entire floor in a super select office building.
It used to be the office of an import export company. Now, the import export company has become bankrupt, they still left all their decors behind. All Ye Qing needed were some minor tweaks and it would be fully usable again.
There was a stand alone warehouse in the underground parking lot that was also rented out by Ye Qing, to be used as the packaging area for the engineered chairs.
Cash money is efficiency. Ye Qing and Xu Xiaohu, having busied themselves for a whole afternoon, by 5, had an office with the [Monster Heavy Industry] logo printed on the doors that was already furnished and in use.
10 young and youthful girls were all sitting in the meeting room listening to a master artisan explaining to them everything they needed to know about the Mechanical Engineered Chair, so that they were actually able to answer some questions when asked.
Xu Xiaohu was immediately assigned to be the acting manager by Ye Qing, his responsibility: help Ye Qing take care of everything here, as Ye Qing’s main office was still at the Dragon Creek Beach factory.
Right now, Ye Qing was hiding behind his president desk, and receiving a wonderful massage from the Mechanical Engineered Chair below him.
After a full day of brewing, the entire Weibo was full of professional screenwriters and authors, liking and sharing the creative videos from Ye Qing’s first batch of customers.
The notifications were still pouring in like there was no tomorrow, so Ye Qing simply stopped trying to respond to all of them.
A sudden call headed by a 400 number interupted Ye Qing’s massage session.
Answering the call, someone stating himself as Tmall client Manager, asked Ye Qing some identification questions, and then welcomed Ye Qing’s web store into being a member of Tmall Shopping Center.
Tmall was currently the nation’s most comprehensive online shopping brand. It was also the only shopping center in the country that all international brands were willing to join.
Joining Tmall meant that you would receive the full trademark rights, the ability to completely focus on manufacturing, and completely not have to worry about the problem with fakes.
Ye Qing had already applied for the the trademark rights through an agency, and even filed for patent protection for the Mechanical Engineered Chair. If someone were to go on on the national patent site, then they can easily find it.
Right now, Tmall shopping center very rarely gave out invites to private stores, but Ye Qing’s Mechanical Engineered Chair, just like a black horse, shocked the whole TaoBao data monitoring team.
Tens of millions in transactions in a single morning. That kind of data wasn’t even possible for many of Tmall’s existing stores.
If it was fake purchases then it was as simple as sealing the store, but after the data team had examined it multiple times, there wasn’t a single fake purchase.
Furthermore, the buyers of these Mechanically Engineered Chair, were all active VIP users. The purchase power of those users was quite extraordinary.
Within the data team were several novel addicts, who from those authors public Weibo account, found the true reason behind the popularity of these Mechanically Engineered Chairs.
When they finished watching the videos, they all came to the conclusion that this many sales was actually normal. If after all this it’s still not popular then something’s really wrong with the world.
If these kind of black horse stores don’t join Tmall, then that was a loss for Tmall, hence the call invite from the Tmall’s client manager.
After Ye Qing provided his business permit, organization code, trademark registration certificate, inquiry number for the national patent application status, and his bank certificate, his Tmall store was successfully created.
However, his Tmall store currently only sold one product.
The client manager told Ye Qing to add some individual parts of the chair to the store just to fill up its emptiness.
The next day, the web store, as well as the customer relations office, officially entered full service.
The 10 customer relations girls, all arrived nice and early for work. Xu Xiaohu and the 3 driving academy female classmates, were all together trying to remember all the rules to the trade.
10 customer relation representatives were more than enough to cope with all the incoming calls. When Ye Qing made his rounds, most of the calls from customers were asking whether or not they could get a discount.
Ye Qing told the girls to refuse everyone seeking a price cut. Not even a cent less was allowed for our product. But if someone were to write some nice reviews after the purchase, then cash rebates could be considered.
The office right now still felt empty, but at least there was the RT Mart supermarket right across the street.
Ye Qing headed downstairs and arrived at the main entrance of RT Mart, got some nice fried chicken from the next door KFC, and headed inside while eating.
“Big Brother, you’re not allowed to eat inside.” A 12 year old girl standing beside Ye Qing cutely commented.
Beside the little girl was a very normal middle aged woman, probably her mom.
She apologetically smiled at Ye Qing, meaning don’t mind the little kid’s nonsense.
“I’m not gonna take it inside, I’ll finish it all outside.” Ye Qing wolfed down the rest of the fried chicken, and roughly cleaned up after himself: “Thank you sister for the notice.”
“En~ Bye big brother.” The little girl happily took her mom’s hand and left.
The first floor of RT Mart was filled with stuff like clothing, household appliances, electronics, and toys. Ye Qing was looking for some water dispensers, televisions, microwaves, and other office appliances.
There was a big promotion going on at the household appliance sector, 2 workers standing behind a massive, top of the line, high tech juicer, continuously juicing out watermelons for clients to taste.
Ye Qing had seen this juicer before: the juice he and DouDou had the other day was juiced by it.
There was also a juicier with its plastic casing removed on the side. The female worker was giving off a sales pitch to the customers who received free juice, saying how there were many different functionalities to this juicer, apart from juicing, it could also mince meat, and how the highly reflective stainless steel on the inside was not only dishwasher safe, but would also stay rust free forever.
The female worker while introducing, also taught the customers how to remove the casing of the machine to wash the stainless steel inners.
Ye Qing, who worked in the mechanical sector, took a special glance. The circular structure inside was actually made out of reflective stainless steel, and was actually very thick and sturdy.
The crushing wheels inside was also very long, unlike those regular juicers with their blades, able to mince meat with no problems.
Ye Qing had no use for it, so naturally he left after a quick look.
The little girl from before, was also there waiting for the juice and smiled at Ye Qing when she spotted him.
Ye Qing left for the water dispensers, right now he had tons of money to burn, so he straight up picked the most expensive one.
A sudden burst of painful screams, echoed throughout the entire shopping center.
The screams gave Ye Qing quite the shock, but before he could turn around, another wave of screams and cries sounded out, where a specific female scream sounded vividly gruesome.
