Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Stockpiling 10,000 Ultraman Hairpins!

Jiang Tao first took a screenshot of the Ultraman Hairpin worn in Liu Tianxian’s hair.

Then he searched for the same model on Taobao.

The search results were somewhat unexpected for Jiang Tao.

There were fewer than 10 sellers offering this hairpin.

Moreover, the top-selling shop had only sold 108 pieces.

The sales at other shops were just a few to a dozen or so each.

So far, the sales of this hairpin looked rather average.

Looking at the hairpin picture on his phone, Jiang Tao didn’t find it very attractive.

From his aesthetic point of view, it was very average, extremely average!

He figured even if he bought it for his daughter Jiang Xue, she’d probably complain!

The only reason this hairpin might see a sales boom would be related to Liu Tianxian.

After all, her haute couture outfit, million-dollar necklace, and tens of thousands of dollar bracelets aren’t something ordinary people can easily get.

Only the Ultraman Hairpin in her hair, priced at just 19.8, is extremely affordable.

Even students can purchase it without any pressure.

Jiang Tao analyzed that the reason the Ultraman Hairpin became a sensation had nothing to do with its design and quality.

It was just because it was the same style as Liu Tianxian’s!

In marketing terms, this is the celebrity effect.

Fans see their idols wearing or using certain clothing or accessories and follow suit in purchasing.

Considering Liu Tianxian’s immense fanbase of over 70 million.

To boost the sales of a hairpin priced at just 19.8, it was a piece of cake.

Previously, due to a diving champion, a small turtle toy had also experienced a sales frenzy.

The manufacturer had to work overtime for months and made a huge profit.

Liu Tianxian’s influence and appeal surpass even that of an Olympic champion.

Making a hairpin go viral was quite easy!

After analyzing the two pieces of information, Jiang Tao had a preliminary plan in mind.

The most pressing thing tomorrow, of course, is to first go to the lottery shop to sell the lottery ticket; this can’t wait.

Tomorrow is the last day to claim the prize; after that, it would just be a piece of waste paper.

As for what the lottery shop owner does with it, that’s not Jiang Tao’s concern.

He can do whatever he wants.

There’s also the matter of stocking up on Ultraman Hairpins!

It so happens, Jiang Tao’s younger sister Jiang Bing is involved in personal e-commerce.

One person, one computer, no need to stockpile, and no need to handle deliveries personally.

She buys from Alibaba, sells on Taobao, earning the difference in the middle.

Of course, it sounds easy, but doing it involves certain thresholds and difficulties.

According to Jiang Bing, she spends two to three thousand each month on Taobao promotions.

Plus, the model or whatever she bought that provides trending search data costs her another two to three thousand a month.

Adding items to her shop isn’t just about randomly adding a lot.

It really tests a person’s vision and sensitivity to Taobao products.

If her vision is good, she can blow up several products in a month, which brings more profit.

If her vision is poor, all added products will have mediocre sales.

Busy for a month, but after promotion fees and various expenses, she doesn’t make much profit.

The month Jiang Bing made the most money, she earned over 60,000 because six products in her shop went viral simultaneously.

Usually, it’s around 6,000 to 8,000.

After all, it’s an old shop that’s been running for four to five years, with a decent customer base.

Even in a month without a viral product, there’s at least a basic income to avoid poverty.

After making a plan in his mind, Jiang Tao tucked into bed to sleep.

He slept until 7:30 the next morning.

Upon waking, Jiang Tao’s first action was to pick up his phone and call his sister Jiang Bing.

Ring ring, ring ring—

The phone rang for a while before it was answered, and Jiang Bing’s voice, sounding a bit sleepy, was heard from the other end.

"Why are you so lazy, young lady? It’s so late and you’re still sleeping."

"Come on, wake up, and do something for your brother."

"If you do this well, I’ll give you a big red envelope during the New Year!"

"Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you, your second brother?"

"I’ll send you an image; please check how much it costs to source this hairpin and order 10,000 pieces for me."

"I’m not crazy; just wake up quickly, this is urgent!"

"If you ruin my good thing, I’ll set you up with 10 blind dates when you come home!"

"I’ve already sent the image to your phone. Please find the original manufacturer for me and try to get the lowest price."

"Alright, I’ll hang up now and wait for your good news."

Jiang Tao briefly instructed his younger sister over the phone before hanging up.

Leave the professional tasks to the professionals.

His sister is in e-commerce, and finding the original manufacturer is much more her expertise.

Jiang Tao was confident in leaving the matter to her.

After ending the call with his sister, Jiang Tao got dressed and got out of bed.

After a simple wash-up, he went out and headed straight to "Old Guo’s Shop" for breakfast.

A steamer of dumplings and a bowl of steaming wonton soup warmed him up instantly.

While eating, Jiang Tao received a call from his sister.

She had already found the original manufacturer of the Ultraman Hairpin.

The manufacturer is a small accessory company from Yiwu, specializing in producing various hairpins.

The Ultraman Hairpin is just one of the dozens of their products.

For a one-time order of 10,000 items, the lowest price is 6 yuan each.

Coincidentally, the factory only had just over 10,000 Ultraman Hairpins in stock.

Jiang Tao decisively decided to take them all.

The cost is 6 yuan, and the selling price is 19.8 yuan, yielding a profit of 13.8 yuan per piece!

Selling 10,000 pieces results in a profit of 138,000!

Jiang Tao immediately transferred 60,000 yuan to Jiang Bing, instructing her to make sure the seller shipped the items immediately.

The shipping address was filled out as Jiang Bing’s address.

Jiang Bing was baffled, wondering why her second brother suddenly wanted to buy 10,000 pieces of a women’s hairpin.

Moreover, she felt the hairpin wasn’t very good, just average.

Checking online, she found that the sales for this hairpin were also rather average.

Nonetheless, her second brother insisted on buying them, threatening to cut off their sibling relationship if she didn’t.

Left with no option after failing to persuade him, she complied with his orders and wired the payment to the manufacturer.

Also, she requested the seller to ship within the day.

...

Yiwu, Tongle Accessories Processing Factory, Factory Manager’s Office.

"Okay, okay, rest assured, we’ll ship your order this morning!"

"There are around 10,200 pieces in total, and I’ll just give you those extra 200 as a friendly gesture."

"We have many styles of accessories, so if you see anything else you like in the future, just let me know, and I’ll give you the best price."

"Happy cooperation, happy cooperation!"

"Alright! Goodbye! Bye-bye!"

Hanging up the phone, Shan Teng’s chubby face was beaming brighter than the sun.

Seeing that it was less than ten days to the end of the year, the factory was about to go on holiday.

Today, he suddenly received a large order of 60,000 yuan.

Moreover, the style they wanted was one of the less popular hairpins in the factory.

Perhaps heaven sent this person to clear out my inventory!

Checking his phone, he saw the payment had already arrived.

Shan Teng immediately contacted a regular logistics company he worked with and personally went to the warehouse to arrange shipping.

For a small factory with a daily sales volume of only five to six thousand.

The 60,000-yuan order was considered a large order.
