195: Live stream giveaways

After finishing breakfast, the few of them sat around the table. Chen Gang was busy cleaning up, watching the three of them discuss with a curious expression.

"Don't you think the number of rods is a bit low?" Gao Xiaofan flicked his cigarette ash, squinting as he asked.

Li Yuer had finished eating and was about to go upstairs to pack for fishing when he stopped her, telling her about the day's giveaway plan.

"It is a bit low, but where can we get more rods now? And if the quantity is large, it's no small amount of money."

After listening, Li Yuer thought for a moment and spoke.

"Let's contact Zhang Dali. I'll order a batch from him, help him clear out some stock while we're at it~" Gao Xiaofan thought about it, then smiled and continued.

"I had Brother Gu post a video yesterday to build hype. There will probably be a lot of people today. The main thing we need to discuss now is a proper plan, so the livestream doesn't get chaotic!"

After hearing this, the two of them realized—this guy isn't short on money. Worrying about the cost of rods for him was pointless.

They discussed for over half an hour before finally settling on a plan. Chen Gang had finished his chores and sat by the table listening, though he only half-understood.

"Brother Gang, where's Little Orange?" Gao Xiaofan tossed him a cigarette, casually asking.

"Still sleeping. She usually doesn't eat breakfast. Let her wake up on her own." Chen Gang put the cigarette in his mouth and chuckled.

Gao Xiaofan nodded, picked up his phone, and directly dialed Zhang Dali's number. The three of them had pretty much finished their discussion.

100 Han Ding Zhan 6.3-meter rods, 100 Leichen Fishing Boxes, 200 Square Small Fish Keepers, 200 Yiwei Water Buckets, 500 portions of bait. He originally planned to use Tianyuan's Silver Carp and Bighead Carp bait, but the Kings Battle incident left Gao Xiaofan very displeased, so he refused to use a single pack.

"I saw your video this morning and knew you'd call me, hahahaha~" Zhang Dali's voice came through the phone on speaker.

"Brother Dali, you're awesome. I'm here to help you clear out your stock." Gao Xiaofan placed the phone on the table and listed everything he needed.

"Holy shit, such a big order?" Zhang Dali on the other end of the line was shocked.

"Just calculate the total quickly. Let me know, and I'll transfer the money to you."

"It's not that... I don't have that much stock!" Zhang Dali's tone was helpless.

"??? You run a fishing gear shop and you're telling me you're out of stock?" Gao Xiaofan looked incredulous.

"Bro, look at how much stuff you're asking for. At most, I can gather about a third of it~"

Gao Xiaofan was taken aback. What Zhang Dali said made some sense.

"Alright then, I'll help you figure out how to source the goods. It shouldn't be a big problem. You go ahead and start your livestream. Getting the full quantity for you won't be an issue."

After hanging up, Gao Xiaofan scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward. They had discussed for so long, only for the most reliable part to run into problems. But since Zhang Dali said it was fine, it probably was.

Three minutes later, Gao Xiaofan's WeChat notification sounded. Opening it, he saw a message from Zhang Dali.

The price of the rods, the price of the fishing boxes, etc.—some even precise to the decimal point. Looking at the final total, Gao Xiaofan pursed his lips.

He directly transferred 150,000 yuan, then sent a voice message.

"What's this? Are you running a shop aiming not to make money? Take this money. You'll probably have to help with shipping later anyway~"

Zhang Dali's quote was only a little over 90,000 yuan—clearly calculated at cost price again.

Zhang Dali sent a silly grin emoji, then accepted the money. Gao Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. If it were always like this, he'd feel bad.

"Starting the livestream in ten minutes!" Gao Xiaofan glanced at the time and stood up first. The others immediately got busy.

All the lights in the room were turned on, tables were pulled apart, clearing a large space. Qiu Gu ran outside to get a tripod from the car and even pulled out a brand-new fill light from the very bottom of the car.

Chen Gang, helping move the table, couldn't help but smile at the scene. They were really going all out professionally.

Ten minutes later, Gao Xiaofan and Qiu Gu sat on stools, both looking conflicted.

"I'm saying, Xiao Yuer, do I really need makeup too?" Qiu Gu looked pained as Li Yuer shaped his eyebrows.

"Can you stop complaining? We're all on the same team. Why shouldn't you get it too!"

Gao Xiaofan pursed his lips, grabbing Qiu Gu beside him to stop him from running away.

They had already packed up and were about to start the livestream when Li Yuer stopped them again, insisting on tidying up the two of them.

There was no lipstick or anything messy—just simple eyebrow shaping. Of course, they also trimmed their nose hair. Honestly, after shaping the eyebrows, the whole person looked much more energetic.

When Li Yuer finished, both of them couldn't help but sigh in relief. Luckily, they both had short hair. If it were long hair, they'd probably have to mess with some hair gel too.

"Start the livestream, start the livestream. It's almost 10 o'clock."

Gao Xiaofan took out his phone and handed it to Qiu Gu. Qiu Gu mounted it on the tripod and hurriedly started the livestream. With a three-second countdown, viewers flooded in.

"Hello everyone, I'm Brother Wo Zi. The Streamer is always here. If you like us, please follow~"

Gao Xiaofan stood in the open space, holding Qiu Gu's phone, watching the barrage in the livestream room.

"That's right, no fishing today. We're giving away some benefits to all the Brothers. Let's wait for a few more people to join~"

Gao Xiaofan glanced at the viewer count in the top right corner—it had already soared to 100,000 and was still climbing.

"Drop the Lucky Bag, drop the Lucky Bag. Brother Gu, drop a 9999 Dou-coin one."

Hearing Gao Xiaofan, Qiu Gu nodded and tapped quickly. They had already discussed it—Lucky Bags non-stop, either rods or Dou-coin.

Gao Xiaofan's account earnings these days hadn't been withdrawn. With 2 million in there, they couldn't run out even if they gave away all day. Due to the 5-minute time limit on Lucky Bags, they could only send 12 per hour at most, and that's without a single minute of delay.

Within just a few minutes, the viewer count stabilized at 200,000. Although it was still climbing, the speed wasn't as fast anymore.

"Alright, everyone probably saw yesterday's video, right? That's right, today is the giveaway! 100 Han Ding Zhan 6.3-meter rods, 100 Leichen Fishing Boxes, 500 portions of bait—until they're gone!"

After saying this, Gao Xiaofan looked at the barrage filled with '666' and couldn't help but smile.

"Lucky Bags every five minutes. Let's draw for rods first—that's a relatively fair method."

"But just waiting is boring. Xiao Yuer, bring over your catch from yesterday~"

As soon as Gao Xiaofan finished speaking, Li Yuer, who was ready nearby, pushed a small cart with a Black Carp lying on it into the frame.

"Brothers, this is what Xiao Yuer caught yesterday at Taiping Lake. Of course, we also have to thank the owner of the Lakeside Cottage for taking us to the fishing spot! If any of you want to visit Taiping Lake, our top recommendation is the Lakeside Cottage!!!"
