In the live broadcast room, skepticism still lingered.
However, the words "no refund if ineffective" made it hard for the negative comments to gain traction.
Thirty minutes.
Not long, but not short either.
Chen Yinuo was extremely nervous.
She knew there was no need to worry about future sales of the Perfecting Cream. With its astonishing and unrivaled effectiveness, dominating the market was inevitable.
But this was its debut.
It was impossible to stay calm.
The thirty minutes passed quickly.
As the live broadcast ended, the product link was taken down.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Jingshan's phone rang.
"Hello, how much was sold?" Zhang Jingshan asked urgently.
"Mr. Zhang, across all five broadcast rooms, a total of 31,489 bottles were sold!" said the voice on the other end.
"Only 31,489 bottles?"
The total viewership across the five streams easily exceeded 100,000.
And yet, only 31,489 bottles were sold?
"Alright, got it." Zhang Jingshan hung up, his expression sour.
He had hoped to sell at least 50,000 bottles-only then would he consider the performance acceptable.
Selling just over 30,000 left him unsure of how to face Ye Chen and his wife.
Before he could speak, Chen Yinuo's phone rang.
"Hello, Manager Tang!" Chen Yinuo took a deep breath and answered.
"Ms. Chen, by the time the link closed, the backend showed 31,489 bottles sold!"
Manager Tang sounded thrilled.
She had been with Lezi Company for a long time.
In the past, Lezi had tried influencer marketing, but sales were dismal.
Yet tonight, over 30,000 bottles of Perfecting Cream were sold in just half an hour.
At ¥399 per bottle, the total sales exceeded ¥10 million-more than an entire quarter's revenue!
"Yes, this is a great start!" Chen Yinuo replied breathlessly.
As she hung up, Zhang Jingshan finally spoke.
"Ye, Yinuo... I'm sorry. We only sold just over 30,000 bottles. I don't know what to say."
"Mr. Zhang, you're being too hard on yourself. When I joked about selling 100,000 bottles in one stream, I wasn't serious! Selling over 30,000 bottles on our first launch is already more than enough. I'm not just satisfied-I'm thrilled!" Chen Yinuo said, trying to contain her excitement.
At ¥399 per bottle, the pure profit was already around ¥10 million.
A million yuan profit in just half an hour-how could she not be satisfied?
And this was only the beginning.
Despite the "no refund if ineffective" policy, she wasn't worried. The cream's effectiveness was undeniable. Any returns could only mean someone was deliberately stirring trouble.
"Jingshan, this is already a strong start. Keep in mind, this product had no brand recognition, and our company had no reputation. Even with the refund policy and bold claims, few would take the leap. Reaching this number is already impressive," Ye Chen added.
"It's still not enough... Ye, tomorrow I'll hire internet promoters to create buzz. I promise the next stream will sell 50,000 bottles!" Zhang Jingshan said with determination.
"No need. Perfecting Cream will trend naturally tomorrow. With the refund policy and product claims, someone is bound to stir controversy," Ye Chen said calmly.
"Competitors won't miss the chance to attack us. Rival influencers will surely hire people to smear us and boost their own standing. This will only drive Perfecting Cream into the spotlight. You might need to endure some negativity, but once the product proves itself, public opinion will shift."
Zhang Jingshan was stunned, then smiled wryly.
"Wise words! But being attacked doesn't matter. Yunshan Network has been through worse. We've seen every trick in the book. I'm not worried about the smearing."
"Good. No rush for more streams. Let's process tonight's orders. Consumers need a few days to see results. Let's resume in five days. Don't stream too long-stick to the usual times. I'm worried we won't keep up with demand," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Got it. I'll follow your lead."
"It's late. Let's head back. Thanks for tonight."
Ye Chen patted Zhang Jingshan's shoulder and smiled.
"I'll walk you two out."
As they left Yunshan Network and drove back, Chen Yinuo sat in the passenger seat of the Mercedes G-Class.
She was about to speak when Ye Chen interrupted.
"Call me 'husband' first."
"What...?"
Chen Yinuo blushed.
Even during their early marriage, Ye Chen had never made such a request.
"Call me husband," Ye Chen repeated.
"Our child is in the back. I can't!" Chen Yinuo said shyly.
From the backseat, their daughter chimed in.
"But Mom, isn't Dad your husband?"
For once, Ye Chen felt the warmth of having a daughter.
"Cough..."
Embarrassed, Chen Yinuo cleared her throat.
"Husband."
She quickly followed with, "Did we really make ¥10 million in thirty minutes?"
"Pretty much. But this can only happen in the broadcast room. Once Perfecting Cream becomes a household name, selling tens of millions of bottles annually will be easy," Ye Chen said confidently.
"So... we'll earn billions annually?" Chen Yinuo's eyes widened.
"At least."
She was speechless.
A single product generating billions every year?
In ten years, they could accumulate over ¥100 billion.
Given their young age, if no competitor emerged, Perfecting Cream could dominate the global market indefinitely.
With this, they didn't even need to expand into other industries-they could become the nation's wealthiest just by selling Perfecting Cream.
Unlike other sectors, all profits would be pure cash flow with no debts.
The thought made Chen Yinuo tremble.
"Have you thought about expanding into other industries, or will we focus on Perfecting Cream?" she asked hesitantly.
Despite the potential, she feared Ye Chen's ambition.
As expected, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled.
"Perfecting Cream is just a piece of the puzzle in my vision."
"So... what's your goal?"
"To build a business empire," Ye Chen said confidently, his gaze steady.
