I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 624 - 622: Give Me a 15% Discount
Five live streaming rooms were suddenly flooded with countless customers, and the stock in all five rooms lasted only a few minutes before running out, even making it difficult to adjust the inventory.
However, the faces of the hosts and staff at Hongxinerke were all aglow.
Usually, their live streaming rooms wouldn't sell 50,000 yuan in a day, but now, one room's highest turnover exceeded one billion yuan, and the least still had forty to fifty million!
The factory had started working overtime to rush production, and the sewing machines were almost smoking!
Upon hearing the news, the owner of Hongxinerke rushed to the live streaming room overnight, initially wanting to take advantage of this hard-to-come-by traffic for a live broadcast session, but by the time he arrived, everything had already sold out.
With no choice, the owner had to become an entertainment host. A shopping live stream, having nothing left to sell, began showcasing talents.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, am I still in a sales live stream?"
"Host, drop the link!"
"Host, put up the link for the guitar in your hands, I can still buy that!"
"Buy stuff at Hongxinerke in the morning, have a cup of Honey Citrus in the afternoon, and go trash Hu Qian on Weibo in the evening, what a fulfilling day!"
"Guys, they've run out of stuff to sell, let's shift our battleground!"
"Right! Noble Bird next door just declared bankruptcy and donated 30 million!"
"They also have a debt of 4 billion, right? Let's go, charge!"
...
Soon, Noble Bird's live streaming room faced the same situation, with everything in the room selling out, but this still couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the netizens.
The products might have sold out online, but there were still offline stores!
The huge throngs of netizens then stormed into these conscientious state-owned enterprise retail outlets and started their frenzied shopping.
"Give me ten of these!"
"This pair! This pair! This pair! I want them all!"
"Sir, we've really sold out!"
"Hey! Don't be rough, let's talk nicely, don't strip off the model's clothes!"
...
The offline stores were quickly stripped bare as well, with not a single item of clothing or pair of shoes left in sight, even the clothes and trousers on the models were directly bought by the crazy shoppers.
What's more absurd, some people who couldn't get clothes or shoes picked up a clothes hanger, threw down a hundred-yuan bill, and left, which both touched and amused the staff at Hongxinerke.
Kind-hearted netizens also began to remind everyone that unless absolutely necessary, please do not return the purchases. A return would cause severe inventory issues, which for these companies already in dire straits, would be a catastrophic disaster.

Yet the netizens also expressed en masse that they would never return the products even if it meant calling off an engagement.
A sales revenue of over one billion created a miracle in live stream selling, and an almost zero return rate was another miracle in the e-commerce industry, showcasing the solidarity of the people of Huaxia.
By the time the CEO of Hongxinerke got home, it was already the next day. To handle the company's debts, he had sold the company's cars and even went to the live stream on a shared bicycle, getting annoyed when the bicycle was taken by someone else.
But with the help of netizens, the company was revived from the brink, reigniting a fierce fighting spirit within him.
He had just gotten home when he received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, I'm Wu Guang. May I ask who this is?"
"Hello President Wu, this is Zhang Menglong."
"Zhang Menglong? President Zhang?" Wu Guang was somewhat flattered. Over a decade ago, when his career was at its peak, he had even met many big shots who were usually only seen on TV.
But now, he was just a small owner of a declining private enterprise in the sports apparel brand, and he was burdened with debts of several billion yuan. His company was always in a state of loss; what business could he possibly have with someone like Zhang Menglong?
However, he was not afraid of anything, as he never did anything unscrupulous and did not worry about Zhang Menglong causing him any trouble.
"I don't know what President Zhang would want with me."
"I'd like to order a batch of sportswear from you," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "20 million sets of sports equipment, including outfits, pants, shoes, and jackets! I have already transferred the funds to your company's account!"
"Tw... Twenty million sets?" The number immediately made Wu Guang's lips twitch.
In all his years of business, he had scarcely received orders for tens of thousands of sets, and now suddenly there were 20 million sets in one go—how could anyone handle that?
"Wife, check our account!" Wu Guang immediately said to his wife beside him.
Wu Guang's wife quickly logged into the company's account, and the string of zeros almost made her jaw drop.
"20 billion? No, no, no! 200 billion?"
According to the usual selling price, each piece of their sports apparel would sell for around 200 yuan. The items Zhang Menglong ordered would not exceed 1000 yuan per set. Even if calculated at cost price, it would be just a few hundred yuan.
If it's a bulk wholesale, this wholesale price could even be brought down to five or six hundred or even four or five hundred!
But the price Zhang Menglong was offering was directly 1000 yuan per set with no discounts at all—could this be the legendary world's richest man?
"Mr. Zhang, this price is a bit..."
"What, is the price reasonable?" Zhang Menglong asked. "Give me a quote, and I'll transfer the difference."
"Mr. Zhang, it's not that," Wu Guang said with a wry smile, "usually, when we have such large shipments, we can offer a discount. If you order more than ten thousand sets from our factory, we can give you a 50 percent discount."
"What, you look down on me, huh?" Zhang Menglong suddenly became displeased, "A discount is fine, but 50 percent is too much, 15 percent I can consider!"
Wu Guang was dumbfounded. Goodness, these netizens have been spending until they're out of their minds, how has Zhang Menglong also begun wild spending?
"President Zhang, our company has already improved a lot with everyone's help. I know such a large order from you is to take care of us, but you really don't need to waste like this."
"What waste? How come you have no sense of the big picture? A small-minded thinker!" Zhang Menglong said, "You had your fun with wild donations, and I haven't had enough fun with wild spending yet. You have to take this 200 billion whether you want it or not!"
"Just contact me directly when this batch of clothes is ready!" Having said that, Zhang Menglong hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Wu Guang couldn't help but laugh and cry. It was his first time seeing business done this way; wasn't this just forceful buying and selling? But damn, this forceful sale was kind of endearing.
"Thank you!" Wu Guang put down the phone. With this 200 billion, not only could the company's debts be cleared, but they could also use this fund to make a comeback and try once again to compete with Adidas and Nike.
But Zhang Menglong's spree was just beginning.
"Hello? Is this the owner of Honey Citrus Tea? I want to order 50 million cups of drinks! Huh? Delivery? No need for delivery, just hand them out on the street once they're ready!"
"Hello? Huiyuan Juice, right? Yes, I want 10 million boxes of juice, not for myself to drink, I just feel like supporting Africa while I'm free recently!"
"Noble Bird, huh? Zhang Menglong here, I want 20 million sets of clothes! Huh? Can't produce that much? No problem, I can wait 10 years to receive the goods!"
"Fangda Group, isn't it? What do you sell again? Oh, you sell steel ... well, since I've made the call, why don't you refine a few ten thousand tons of steel for me? Huh? Build what ... um ... build rockets, I guess!"
...
No disaster is too great to overcome, as long as everyone works together; there's no hurdle we can't clear!
Several days later, the flood slowly receded, leaving the whole of Nanhe City and other affected areas in a mess, but everyone believed that in front of the industrious people of Huaxia, there were no insurmountable difficulties; rebuilding these things was just a matter of time...
