270. If you want to promote, no problem, 20,000 yuan an hour
Li Xiao swiped his card with satisfaction. Twelve people got 42,000, which is 3,500 per person.
However, considering that I ordered a bottle of wine that cost more than 10,000 yuan, the price was not very expensive, and the other party also gave me sugar water, which was indeed very affordable.
It wasn't until everyone heard a payment prompt of 42,000 yuan coming from the cash register in Manager Cai's hand that everyone was sure that the price they just heard was not wrong.
Li Jianguo had a look of pain on his face, but he didn't speak when he saw there were outsiders in the room. After Manager Cai and Li Xiao had finished greeting and left, he approached his son and asked in a low voice:
"Forty-two thousand, do we eat dragon meat here? Is it so expensive?"
I know that my son can make a lot of money now, but this is not what he spends his money on. This meal cost more than 40,000 yuan. What family can afford it?
As for why he didn't stop Li Xiao from rewarding his sister's son with a car worth 300,000 yuan.
That's because the college entrance examination is only once in a lifetime, and Yu Qing is not an outsider. As the best-student in the entire family, she may have the highest academic qualifications.
Li Jianguo felt that it was appropriate to be rewarded. In the eyes of the older generation, studying was the most promising thing.
After all, everything is of low quality, except for good academics, so when Li Xiao said that he would reward Yu Qing with a car and 300,000 yuan, he had no objection.
If it could help Yu Qing study better, let alone 600,000 or 1 million, he would think it was worth it.
And as the youngest child in the family, he, as the eldest brother, has always loved the little sister the most, and the little sister also has a conscience.
Even after he got married, he still knew how to come back to help when the family was in trouble, unlike his two incompetent brothers.
Therefore, he really didn't mind giving her a reward for her child, but he was really reluctant to spend 40,000 yuan on such a meal.
However, Li Xiao already had an explanation. He gave an example and said:
"Then you can't think like this. Think about it differently. You used to earn 200 yuan a day at work. So, is it expensive to spend 200 yuan on a New Year's reunion dinner for a dozen people?"
Li Jianguo blurted out without thinking:
"Of course it's not expensive. A meal costs 200 yuan, and there are so many people."
Li Xiao quickly continued what his father said:
"Then my son can earn more than 40,000 yuan a day now. Is it still expensive to spend more than 40,000 yuan to have a New Year's reunion dinner for more than a dozen people?"
Hearing this fallacy from his son, Li Jianguo, who was originally aggressive, was stunned. There was nothing wrong with what he said.
If you can earn 200 yuan a day, spending 200 yuan for a meal will feel cheap. Why can you earn 40,000 yuan a day, but spending 40,000 yuan for a meal will feel expensive?
After thinking for a long time, Li Jianguo couldn't figure out what the problem was. He could only sigh softly.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't continue to worry about it. After all, he thought that what his son said did make sense.
His son can earn 40,000 yuan a day, so spending 40,000 yuan on a meal is not outrageous. He cannot ask his son to earn tens of thousands of yuan a day and eat instant noodles every meal. This is not realistic.
Just as the father and son were talking in a low voice, a slight cough came, and the eyes of several people were immediately attracted by the cough.
The person who coughed was none other than Second Uncle's wife, Sun Yan. As her name suggests, Second Uncle's wife was indeed pretty.
She has big chestnut-colored wavy curls, bright red lip gloss, and a plump figure. Although she has gained weight with age and her skin has lost elasticity, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.
Sun Yan had a flattering smile on her face:
"Xiao Xiao, I heard from your mother that you went there before the Chinese New Year, and your second uncle and third uncle built some kind of B&B project for them? I heard that it was done well? Is there such a thing?"
Li Xiao glanced at his mother secretly, "Good guy, tell them everything. It's not like they don't know the nature of these guys."
But since the other party had already asked, he could only nod:
"Yes, this is indeed the case."
Li Xiaoke had no intention of answering. He roughly understood what Sun Yan wanted to say without even thinking about it, so he didn't want to talk to her at all.
However, Li Xiao still underestimated the thickness of the other party's face. Although Li Xiao showed an indifferent attitude, the smile on the other party's face did not diminish at all.
Sun Yan smiled and said:
"It's like this. My mother's house is not far from your second uncle's and third uncle's house. You also went there when you were a child."
"Otherwise, when you are free, you can go over and help my mother-in-law's homestay promotion. We also have undeveloped islands there, which are also very suitable for traveling."
As expected by Li Xiao, the other party really wanted something from him, and his purpose was his.
My mother and two uncles' wives are from the same place, but the three of them came from different villages.
The reason why this happened is very simple. My grandfather was a technician in the factory back then. He was assigned to work in a local factory in those years, so my father and his two younger brothers met their current brothers there.
Wife.
So when Sun Yan spoke, Li Xiao guessed what the other party was going to do.
However, he had no intention of agreeing, after all, the two families were not far apart.
If you promote one of them yourself, if the traffic you can bring is 100, then promote it to both, then it will be obvious that a small part of the traffic from the side you promoted at the beginning will be diverted by the latter.
Li Xiao was not familiar with Sun Yan's natal family. He had no memory of visiting her when she was a child.
In his mind, having no impression means non-existence. It would be a bit baffling to talk about something that does not exist in front of him.
Besides, your mother's family's affairs are none of Li Xiao's business. The reason why I helped my second uncle and third uncle was not because I was bored, but because the relationship between the two families was good.
Li Xiao couldn't help but secretly complained about how bad the relationship between Sun Yan's family and his own family was. Could it be that the other party didn't know it?
Even if he was bored, he would never be able to help their family with any promotion. Not only would it be a thankless effort, but it might also bring down the B&B business that his second uncle and third uncle had just developed.
Li Xiao shook his head, but he did not refuse directly. After all, his family was here. Although the relationship was not good, it was indeed too much to slap him in the face, so he spoke tactfully:
"I'm sorry, Er Niang, I haven't been free here recently because I participated in a parade on the Mao Mao Live Platform and had to travel to different places across the country, so I guess I won't be able to help you within this year.
It’s your turn, let’s talk about this later.”
I feel that what he said has been quite tactful and clear. In the adult world, without a clear agreement, it means rejection.
However, Sun Yan seemed to pretend not to understand Li Xiao's rejection and continued to say with a smile:
"Oh, it's just a matter of way. Don't you want to go to the whole country to eat and drink? Then come to our house by the way. I will ask my brother and the others to entertain you well. It won't take you long, only a dozen
It’s just heaven.”
Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this. Guy, are you thinking that your time is worthless? It's only ten days?
Can’t I use so much time to live broadcast elsewhere? I can earn tens of thousands of yuan just by live broadcasting in one day, and it will be hundreds of thousands in these ten days.
It really gave him a headache to say it so lightly in the other person's mouth.
Seeing Li Xiao pretending not to hear, Sun Yan said persistently:
"If a family doesn't talk about two things, when my eldest brother's B&B starts building, I'll give you half of the shares, that is, you don't have to do anything, and we will give you a share."
"If you can earn 1 million, we will give you 50,000 yuan. As long as my eldest brother keeps doing it, we will keep giving you money."
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched, good guy, the other party's tone sounded like he had taken advantage of him?
Please, how long will it take you to earn 1 million as a B&B?
And you only get 50,000 yuan for yourself after earning 1 million? It does sound like a lot, but by doing this B&B, you can earn 20,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, which is as high as 30,000 to 400,000 yuan.
In other words, the amount of money allocated to them in a year is only twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and this is only possible if they do not cheat or make false accounts.
However, not to mention anything else, just promoting him for more than ten days by myself is worth hundreds of thousands, and my popularity now is even more popular than when I promoted him for my second uncle and third uncle.
At that time, there were only more than 1 million fans, but now there are more than 3 million, and now it is ready to break through the 4 million mark. The popularity and traffic it brings are not of the same magnitude.
If there really is such a B&B promotion, then the other party's quotation may start at least 1 million or more, after all, the working time is more than ten days.
Li Xiao can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb this time, after all, this is what everyone has said.
He spoke softly, with a very calm tone:
"It's like this. Erniang, you may not know much about the current situation in the live broadcast industry. I'll just briefly talk about my own situation."
Seeing that Li Xiao finally responded, Sun Yan's face showed joy. She thought that no matter what the other party said, as long as the other party was willing to respond to her, she would definitely be able to use her status as an elder to subdue the other party.
After all, it's the Chinese New Year, so the other party won't make things too tense, but you can take the opportunity to take the initiative in your own hands.
Just listen to Li Xiao say
"I won't go into details, but just a few days before the Chinese New Year, an old classmate of mine opened a restaurant and asked me to go over there and do a two-hour live broadcast promotion."
"The market price is 200,000 yuan. Because he and I are very, very good friends, I gave him a friendship price and directly discounted it in half. Then this is 100,000 yuan for two hours, which is equivalent to one hour on average.
The cost is 50,000 yuan.”
Hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone in the room was shocked except for Li Xiao's parents. Yu Qing, who had been drinking coconut milk with her head down, also widened her eyes.
In Yu Qing's career plan, he envisioned that he would be admitted to a good 985 school, and then graduate in four years. If he did not choose to go to graduate school, he would receive an offer from a big company.
At that time, his monthly salary will be as high as more than 10,000 yuan. Of course, this is only the salary during the internship. Once he officially joins the job, his salary will start at least 20,000 yuan, and he will have an income of nearly 200,000 yuan a year. It will suddenly be better than working.
The salary of the father who has been working for more than 20 years is even more.
But what does he hear now?
My cousin can now get 50,000 yuan for one hour of live broadcast promotion???
Moreover, this 50,000 yuan is purely the promoter's promotion fee, and does not include some reward fees incurred during the live broadcast.
In other words, my cousin can now earn more than 50,000 yuan an hour. Although he does not earn that much every hour, it is already very impressive.
You only need to take seven or eight orders a month to get a promotion fee of about 700,000 yuan, which is equivalent to three years of salary in your career plan.
So much so that his young mind was seriously hurt, and he had some doubts about life, and was considering whether to change his career plan and follow his cousin to become an Internet celebrity anchor.
Sun Yan was also shocked by this number. Although her math calculation ability is not as good as Yu Qing's, she can still barely do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
She originally thought about letting Li Xiao go and stay at her eldest brother's house for 10 days and a half.
You don’t need to live broadcast for long every day, 10 hours of live broadcast is enough, and the remaining fourteen hours can be used to rest.
But now she was frightened when she heard the price Li Xiao said.
If it’s 50,000 yuan an hour, then 10 hours of live streaming in a day would cost 500,000 yuan.
Even if you only live broadcast for 10 days, it will cost 5 million. Even if you add a family price on top of the friendship price, it will still cost 2.5 million after half the discount.
This number was too much for her to imagine, and her surprise was not over yet, because Li Xiao continued to speak.
"Then the next day I helped another friend go to his factory to bring goods and help him sell clothes."
"The sales are not many, just a turnover of more than 10 million. This time I did not collect his promotion fee in advance."
“Because it was the first time I did it, I didn’t know how effective the promotion would be, but the effect was pretty good, so my friend rewarded me with a reward of 700,000 yuan, which meant that the live broadcast lasted for about seven or eight hours. That’s 100,000 yuan per hour.
That’s it, not a lot.”
This time, the people around me were completely shocked. Good guy, the income of 50,000 an hour just now has shattered everyone’s outlook.
Now there is an even more outrageous price of 100,000 yuan per hour, which can equal the annual salary income of most people here.
After speaking, Li Xiao smiled and said to Sun Yan:
"Well, as for me, since I haven't bought any shares, I'm too embarrassed to ask for shares shamelessly."
"But the promotion fee still needs to be paid more or less. After all, brothers have to settle accounts. Since we are relatives, we should charge less. The market price is 100,000 yuan an hour. I'll pay you two
That’s 20,000 yuan an hour.”
"Look at how long your brother needs me to live broadcast. I will arrange a time after the Chinese New Year to go over and help him promote it."
Sun Yan's mouth twitched when she heard the price you mentioned. This price was something she had never thought of.
After all, her current salary is only more than 4,000 yuan a month. It is unimaginable for her to go without food or drink for five months and save money for Li Xiao to promote for an hour.
Seeing that Sun Yan was no longer entangled, a smile appeared on his lips. This trick of retreating into progress was really effective.
She directly agreed to help the other party, but she had to pay for it, and she directly offered a 50% discount, leaving her no room to negotiate.
Sure enough, Sun Yan hesitated and showed an awkward smile:
"That's it. I really don't understand. I didn't expect my eldest nephew to be so promising now. Then I'll discuss it with my eldest brother when I go back. I'll come back to you when I'm sure."
Li Xiao laughed, nodded and did not continue to answer.
There was silence in the private room for a while, but this silence did not last long, because soon there was a knock on the door, and a lovely waitress came in.
The young lady’s voice was very sweet and she greeted everyone politely:
"Happy New Year to all distinguished guests. I wish you all a happy New Year, smooth work, good health, a smile, good fortune, and advancement."
“Today’s first dish is [Good things to make a fortune].”
The dishes are as exquisite as ever, with small plates for each person.
There is a huge oyster on the plate. Oyster is also called "dried oyster" and is a raw oyster product.
There are two ways to make oyster sauce: Generally, fresh oyster meat and juice are cooked together, and then sun-dried or dried. The resulting oyster sauce is called "cooked oyster sauce".
If you want to maintain the full flavor, do not cook the oyster meat and dry it directly to become the famous "raw sun-dried oyster sauce".
The one in front of you can tell you that it is raw oyster at a glance, because it is lighter in color and plumper and rounder.
The oysters are placed on the top, surrounded by a circle of black nostoc, and a layer of emerald green lettuce underneath.
The presentation of the products is quite beautiful, and everything is covered with a thin layer of abalone juice. You can smell the rich aroma from a long distance away.
Seeing that the food was finally served, Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. Because the atmosphere in the private room was really weird and awkward, he quickly greeted everyone:
"Don't stop chatting here and there. During meal time, we can talk about work and use your chopsticks to try the food here. This is a dish worth 40,000 yuan per table. Let's try it carefully and see how it compares to the food that costs 400 yuan per table.
What’s different?”
With that said, as the oldest person at the table, he picked up the oysters and threw them into his mouth.
After all, according to the custom here in Dongguan, the person who uses chopsticks first at the table is either the person with the most power or the person with the oldest age, and in an environment like a family banquet, age is of course considered.
Therefore, Li Jianguo was the first to use his chopsticks without hesitation, so there was no problem.
After Li Jianguo broke the silence in the room, the other people also smiled and greeted each other.
One by one, they started to greet the dishes in front of them, and soon they were exclaiming in exclamation, because the first dish was amazing enough.
Li Xiao chewed the oysters carefully, and his mouth was filled with abalone juice. The oysters were hard and chewy, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became. The rich and good flavor kept washing over the tip of the tongue, and the sweet abalone juice had a long-lasting taste.
The density is really good.
Although this dish is more of a New Year blessing, having vegetables means getting rich, and oysters means good things (a good market).
But it is worthy of being a six-star high-end restaurant. Even this quite traditional Cantonese dish is made quite exquisitely and deliciously. Although the cooking method is still very retro, it tastes quite delicious and does not look old-fashioned at all.
