Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

For the ten days before and after the New Year, it was Zhong Tingyue who managed the company and handled various matters.

When Li Yuan asked about the company’s revenue situation,

Zhong Tingyue, the "executive director" and "personal secretary," immediately provided the recent revenue data for "Tea Color Moonlight."

"Overall, it’s okay. Although many people returned home for the New Year, since it’s the Spring Festival, spending capacity has increased a lot. It’s maintained at a similar level as before, with daily revenue fluctuating between 3 to 4.5 million..."

"Because it’s the Spring Festival, we’ve set high overtime wages, and the expenses for labor and materials have significantly increased, resulting in a decrease of about a quarter in daily net profit compared to before..."

When Zhong Tingyue talked about company matters, it was like she transformed into a different person, immediately adopting the demeanor of a powerful woman, talking incessantly.

"The high-end market in Modu is already saturated. According to feedback from our customer service, many customers hope we can quickly open branches in other major cities."

"Haha, by the way, these female customers left messages asking you to hold concerts in various big cities."

Zhong Tingyue thought of the method Li Yuan devised, integrating the "lottery" activity into milk tea sales, which was truly a brilliant idea.

This completely attracted a large number of fans and music lovers, transforming them into loyal customers of "Tea Color Moonlight," bringing in a continuous stream of revenue. The reason "Tea Color Moonlight" has come this far is not only due to various "youth literature" marketing and the best quality, but largely because of the fame Li Yuan brought.

When those crazed music fans and followers found out that by buying milk tea they could participate in the "lottery" and win Li Yuan’s autographed prizes or even concert tickets, they went mad.

Some affluent fans treated buying milk tea as a pure "scratch card," solely for the lottery and to win rewards...

Moreover, this kind of "lottery" has an element of luck involved, making it much more appealing than directly selling concert tickets at high prices.

After all, the unknown is the biggest attraction.

Now, in the "music" section of the "Zhihu" forum, some users share prizes they’ve won in the "Tea Color Moonlight" lottery every day, even reselling them at high prices.

Apart from selling concert tickets and autographed CDs as memorabilia, some second-hand items are gradually being listed for sale on the Zhihu website...

Thinking of this,

Zhong Tingyue suddenly had a bold idea in mind, looking at Li Yuan with eager eyes.

"Senior, I suddenly thought of a new e-commerce idea. I wonder if it’s suitable."

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Oh, a new idea? Well, tell me about it."

Zhong Tingyue boldly voiced her thoughts:

"Senior, there’s often second-hand goods trading on the Zhihu website. Shouldn’t we do something in that space?"

"Like building an e-commerce platform, establishing a section for second-hand goods trading so sellers and buyers can trade online, and we can charge a transaction fee?"

Upon hearing Zhong Tingyue’s idea, Li Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep look at this top-tier beauty with both intelligence and allure.

Her idea was essentially a second-hand trading site, similar to Dangdang, Zhuanzhuan, Shihuo, etc...

It’s just 2009 now, e-commerce hasn’t fully taken off, and there’s still some time before reaching the true peak.

This second-hand goods trading site isn’t very different from a true e-commerce platform.

It’s just that the targeted market is more niche, not drawing much attention.

Starting it may not require a huge upfront investment, allowing us to gain some experience to prepare for future e-commerce ventures.

Directly entering e-commerce now might stir up trouble, with investments beyond current financial capabilities, potentially drawing suppression from e-commerce giants...

Li Yuan quite agreed with Zhong Tingyue’s idea.

Start with a niche market, accumulate management experience, otherwise rushing into a huge investment in a new field might result in a complete disaster.

It’s entirely different from running milk tea and gaming businesses.

"Tea Color Moonlight" and "Honor of Kings" quickly became popular because these areas were still a blank market, paired with his enormous influence...

"Little Moon, how did you come up with this?" Li Yuan curiously smiled and asked, also wanting to test her perspective.

Zhong Tingyue smiled sweetly and replied: "During the New Year period, when you weren’t around, I was bored and browsed the Zhihu website, then I noticed that in some sections, many users were trading second-hand goods, like your autographed CDs and so on..."

"Then I thought of opening a second-hand goods trading section on the Zhihu website, providing a more convenient trading method for many users..."

"Senior, what do you think of this idea? Can it be done?" Zhong Tingyue gazed into Li Yuan’s eyes full of anticipation, feeling a bit anxious inside.

This time, she proactively suggested venturing into an entirely new business domain, unlike the expansion of "Tea Color Moonlight."

Li Yuan didn’t immediately answer but instead posed another question.

"Little Moon, if we do second-hand goods trading this way, why not directly create an e-commerce platform?"
