Chapter 346 Preparing for Live Streaming Sales!

His profile, outlined by the sunlight, was so perfect it resembled an ancient Greek sculpture, captivating even the photographers nearby.

"Traditional sales channels are still too slow."

He suddenly said something softly.

Mui Yim-fong thought he was talking to himself and casually replied.

"It's already very fast. Once we get on this end, the village's wine will have no worries about sales."

Xiao Chen shook his head, turned his head, and his obsidian-like eyes flashed with a light that no one could understand.

"Sister Mei, I'm thinking... could we help them sell it faster, more directly?"

Leslie Cheung also became interested.

"Oh?"

"What good ideas does Ah Chen have?"

Xiao Chen put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and spoke with an undeniable authority.

"Let's do a live stream."

"live streaming?"

The moment he uttered those words, everyone present was stunned.

The show's executive director happened to be passing by and, upon hearing this, stumbled and nearly fell.

He leaned against the doorframe, asking with a puzzled look on his face.

"Teacher Xiao, what do you mean by 'live stream'?"

"Like a live broadcast on television?"

"But this is a pre-recorded program, technically..."

Dilraba tilted her head; she was more familiar with new things online, and asked tentatively.

"Brother Xiao Chen, are you talking about online, with a webcam pointed at you, and many people can watch at the same time?"

Xiao Chen affirmed her statement and then added.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Not only can you view it, you can also place an order to buy it directly."

Even Wang Jinhua looked surprised.

In 2010, e-commerce was still in its infancy, and the concept of "live-streaming e-commerce" was unheard of, like a fantasy.

The director shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, absolutely not! Teacher Xiao, you must be joking."

"Leaving aside the fact that we don't have such a live streaming platform, the network signal in the village is simply not strong enough to support a stable live stream!"

"It'll freeze like a slideshow!"

Xiao Chen's tone remained calm, yet it conveyed an unwavering certainty.

"I'll handle the technical issues."

He looked at the surprised and uncertain faces of the crowd and slowly explained.

"Traditional propaganda methods involve a long information transmission chain and significant losses."

"Live streaming allows us to bypass all intermediaries and directly reach tens of thousands of potential customers."

"We can let them see the brewing environment firsthand, hear the village chief's story, and feel the sincerity of this product."

"This immersive experience is unmatched by any other gamer."

His words silenced everyone present.

They seemed to see a door to a new world, and although the view behind that door was blurry, it was deadly alluring.

The director was still hesitant; it was far too advanced and completely beyond his understanding of program production.

Xiao Chen didn't offer any further explanation; he simply looked at the director with a calm and profound gaze.

"Director Wang, all you need to do is have the production team prepare the best sound recording equipment and high-definition cameras."

"Then, bring in the most stable dedicated network line."

He stood up, the setting sun casting a long shadow over him.

"Leave the rest to me."

That domineering confidence silenced all dissenting voices.

As everyone watched his retreating figure, only one thought occupied their minds.

This man seems to always be able to do things that defy everyone's expectations.

And what they are about to witness may be the birth of yet another miracle.

Xiao Chen walked to the corner of the yard, took out the specially made custom phone, and dialed Wang Jinhua's number.

"Aunt Hua, use all the company's technical resources to open a live streaming portal on Shiba Culture's official website."

Wang Jinhua, who was on the other end of the phone, was sitting in her office in Beijing's CBD when she paused, her pen in her hand.

"Live broadcast? Ah Chen, do you mean a TV broadcast, or that lab project you mentioned before?"

Xiao Chen leaned against the earthen wall, one hand in his pocket, the afterglow of the setting sun outlining his breathtaking profile.

Even in a remote mountain village with poor signal, his superstar aura still captivated several passing village women.

"It's the latter; I want to sell alcohol directly online."

"This is insane, can the internet speed even handle this?"

Although Wang Jinhua expressed her doubts verbally, she was surprisingly proactive and had already begun to instruct her secretary to contact the technical department.

Xiao Chen chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of carefree playfulness.

"Aunt Hua, believe me, this is called 'dimensional reduction attack.' When has your son ever lost money?"

As Xiao Chen's manager, who raised him from the bottom and treated him like her own son, Wang Jinhua knew all too well how terrifying this young man was.

"Okay, I'll have the entire company cancel half a month's worth of announcements to fully cooperate with you."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen turned his head, the shrewd composure on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by a bright smile.

"All done, brothers and sisters, let's get started and have a great time!"

Mei Yanfang walked over with some concern and reached out to touch Xiao Chen's forehead.

"Ah Chen, what you just said sounded like magic to me?"

Leslie Cheung also came over, still holding the script in his hand.

"Ah Chen, you mean, if we just wave these little phones in front of people, they'll buy alcohol?"

Xiao Chen blinked, his deep eyes seeming to sparkle with tiny starlight.

"Brother Rong, this is called monetizing your charm. With your figure standing there, wouldn't your fans break the internet connection from all the traffic?"

Chen Xiaochun squatted on the steps smoking, his brows furrowed in a frown.

"I've seen a lot of things, but this thing... it's risky."

Wu Zhenyu fiddled with the camera on the side, saying little, but his eyes were full of confusion.

At that time, Dilraba was still a young girl who had just debuted, and her eyes were full of pink bubbles of admiration when she looked at Xiao Chen.

"Brother Xiao Chen, will there really be a lot of viewers?"

Xiao Chen patted her head, the gesture natural and affectionate.

"More than you can imagine."

At the same time, all of Shishiba Culture's portal websites, forums, and partner media outlets displayed a major news item.

[Tonight at 8 PM, Oscar-winning actors Xiao Chen, Anita Mui, and Leslie Cheung will gather online for the first time, launching a mysterious "live stream"!]

The entire online world was instantly paralyzed.

Baidu Tieba, Tianya Forum, Mop—every corner was buzzing with discussion.

"What is a live broadcast? Is it like a late-night performance?"

"I don't understand, but there's Xiao Chen! He's a Grammy winner, the guy whose song 'Baby' became a global hit!"

"Jack! My Jack! I'd go even in a helicopter if I could just see his face, let alone do a live stream!"

In 2010, the public's understanding of online videos was still limited to the idea that a 5-minute video needed to buffer for 3 minutes.
