Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

Chapter 505: Chapter 406: Competing with Toys

Ye Zi looked at the object in Cheng Zhu’s hands, completely dumbfounded.

At first glance, she really thought it was a Bluetooth earphones case!

But it turned out to be a toy?

Cheng Zhu introduced it proudly, "The design of this earphones case is actually like a mobile charging box."

"It can be carried portably and it also disguises what’s inside."

"Besides, more importantly, it can relieve battery life anxiety."

"Of course, those are the benefits for the users."

"For us merchants, the benefit is that its innovative appearance attracts more attention. The design of the Bluetooth earphones case highlights its class and sophistication."

"Moreover, when pictures are uploaded online, they are less likely to be blocked, which is beneficial for our promotion."

As a bigwig in the QQ goods world, who among those popular online influencers wouldn’t give him some face?

Once they bought the product and posted pictures with the caption: "Brother bought me new earphones, I like them so much."

The censor wouldn’t block it at all and wouldn’t perceive any problem.

A violation? Where is the violation?

Ye Zi asked herself, if she were to buy this thing, she would definitely choose the one Cheng Zhu was holding.

Not to mention its privacy and safety, just the appearance alone seems more upscale than other products.

Bluetooth earphones are quite a luxury these days.

Any slightly better-known brand of Bluetooth earphones is expensive.

And this toy disguised as Bluetooth earphones only costs a little over a hundred.

Ye Zi even thought it was quite a bargain!

Of course, that’s because it was only 2015.

By 2020, such models would definitely sell for 200+.

All said and done, women’s money is easy to earn!

Holding the "Bluetooth earphones," Cheng Zhu spoke like a live-streaming sales host, detailing everything.

After he finished explaining, he also shared with his right-hand woman Ye Zi the future development direction of the product.

"Like this ace model I’m holding, I plan to introduce a ’Remote Interaction’ feature, focusing on smart companionship!"

Ye Zi was quite confused; after pondering for a moment, she said with a slightly accusing yet expectant tone, "Boss, do you mean adding the function for remote control by another person?"

Could it be that when I’m at home, the boss can remotely control me... Hmmmm!

"Exactly, this is also a trend of internal competition within the industry. It makes the product usable by both women and men," Cheng Zhu nodded.

He had said the latter half of his statement when selling QQ lingerie.

No helping it, the myriad paths within the QQ world all lead to the same destination!

—All roads lead to the same path!

For some reason, Ye Zi already felt that the toy in Cheng Zhu’s hands was going to sell explosively.

For the currently lagging toy industry, this could be said to be a revolutionary product!

Not to mention the research directions Cheng Zhu spoke of.

If ’Remote Interaction’ became widely available and maintained its stability, it could even indirectly affect... the female live streaming industry.

Who would have thought that the underground emperor of the online influencer world, after crossing into new product development, could ascend even higher!

But Ye Zi was not clear on how much Cheng Zhu expected the QQ toys to sell.

...

...

Inside the apartment, Cheng Zhu was guiding Ye Zi in a hands-on photography session.

Having been separated over the holiday, the slight physical contact caused Ye Zi to feel somewhat restless.

"Focus a bit more," Cheng Zhu reminded.

He cared about QQ toys even more than QQ lingerie.

Even just considering the domestic market, he felt that toys had a better profit outlook.

"Young people’s stress is increasing year by year."

"People’s thoughts are also changing each year."

"According to big data, the number of users of QQ toys is exploding each year."

"By 2020, just any single item easily sells tens of thousands online each month."

"No choice, brothers and sisters are increasingly paying attention to... quality of life, right?"

Yeah, why couldn’t that improve the quality of life? Why couldn’t that become a necessity for human life?

In his view, this is at least a hundred-billion-level market, possibly even higher!

However, eventually the big brands that sold well turned out to be those associated with family planning.

As the toy market improved, brands like Jissbon and Durex all entered the scene and started producing these things.

Later, even NetEase Yanxuan joined in. The male toys they made were quite impressive, filled with technological appeal, and the upscale models could even interact with 3D virtual characters.

As expected, they all sold explosively.

If you can’t manage to create a well-known brand yourself, you’ll ultimately face this kind of result.

Ye Zi indeed had some talent in staging homes for sale, and she wasn’t bad at photographing items either, getting the hang of it quickly.

Perhaps it was because she had been a bartender, often taking pictures of fancy cocktails.

For several ladies’ toys, Cheng Zhu had Ye Zi shoot them independently.

After checking her work, he found it all quite good, she had learned his essence; therefore, he patted her peachy buttocks as a way of commending her.

Sure enough, Ye Zi worked even harder.

"Who says there isn’t a perpetual-motion maiden in this world? As long as my palm is active enough, Ye Zi will keep going," he thought to himself.

The first batch of ladies’ toys will be launched in 3 models, each in 3 color schemes.

Since Ye Zi had just started, her efficiency was not very high.

Cheng Zhu watched from the sidelines, not in a hurry.

"You just need to simply Photoshop these photos later, adjust the filters and such, it definitely saves more effort than shooting models," Cheng Zhu said, sitting on the sofa.

"That’s right, I actually think the most tiring part is the subsequent Photoshop phase," Ye Zi admitted honestly.

Especially now, because of Cheng Zhu’s orders, models in Persistent Visit were changed very frequently; a model would be replaced after a few shoots, and sometimes several people would be brought in for a batch of new products.

This would also indirectly slow down the efficiency of Photoshop work because several different faces needed to be edited.

Taking photos of the toys was indeed less worrisome and less labor-intensive.

By three o’clock in the afternoon, all the ladies’ toys had been photographed.

What remained were the treasures for men.

Cheng Zhu had only allowed the factory to launch two cup models initially.

The technological sense was not strong, and they were similar to mainstream products on the market.

He indeed harbored thoughts of provoking an "industry Holy Grail war," but not now.

The reason was simple, Cheng Zhu still disdained the spending power of the male demographic.

You see, according to data from e-commerce platforms, the self-spending capability of men is damn worse than a dog’s!

—Men never learn to treat themselves a little nicer, how exasperating!

Fortunately, this phenomenon would change a few years later, and male spending power gradually soared; during that period, he even saw products selling over 100,000 units per month, and each priced in the hundreds.

Of course, this had to do with the advancement of technology and the development of products.

From the perspective of the sensory experience, the mainstream toys of the market in 2015 were indeed trash.

The competition in those days only knew to hire globally famous teachers to make molds.

Not like later, the functionality was comprehensive.

With confidence in the products, the slogans shouted were more arrogant one after the other.

"But the market needs to be captured ahead of time," Cheng Zhu was clear on this.

At the same time, he was willing to make a heartfelt promise for his brothers:

"Although I won’t earn much from my brothers initially, for their experience, I will continue to invest money into research and development!"

A person lives a life to make some significant contributions, right?

Isn’t this contribution significant enough?

I’m practically an angel!

At this moment, the shooting efficiency for the two toy models was very high.

Overall, these products also fit well with the theme of the store name, Persistent Visit.

After the shoot, Cheng Zhu began to review the photos.

He was incredibly satisfied, so he slapped Ye Zi’s buttocks again, causing waves of tremors as a way of commending her.

Ye Zi looked at the array of new products on the table and, after feeling the pain, asked softly, "Boss, they’ve been disinfected before leaving the factory, right?"

"Of course," Cheng Zhu said, "that’s the most basic thing."

"Later on, we’ll even launch those package deals that come with a ’disinfection box.’ That’s also one of the future trends," Cheng Zhu mentioned.

Nothing else, it’s mainly about promoting cleanliness.

Ye Zi, like a water snake, began to lie across Cheng Zhu’s body, then asked in a very soft voice, "So does that mean... they can be used directly now?"

"What, you want to try?" Cheng Zhu looked at her in surprise.

Today, Ye Zi was wearing a tight, high-neck sweater tucked into dark grey skinny jeans, currently lying in his arms, looking up at Cheng Zhu with a mixture of pleading and inquiry in her eyes.

In his memory, Ye Zi wasn’t into this stuff.

Only that slightly chubby fox back in Shanghai enjoyed playing with these things.

Cheng Zhu suspected this thing stimulated her creative inspiration.

Ye Zi, with a big burst of her M attribute, found these toys a bit... too artsy for her.

To his surprise, Ye Zi then said, "Boss, would you like to try?"

"Huh?" Cheng Zhu was slightly stunned, "Me?"

Even though it was his own merchandise, he never really thought about experiencing it himself.

He wasn’t into that stuff.

Neither in his past life nor in this one, was he too busy with real people.

Not interested at all!

"Do you have some kind of trick up your sleeve?" Cheng Zhu looked down at her, seeing through some of her little schemes.

He didn’t believe that after so long without seeing each other, Ye Zi didn’t expect something today.

Sure enough, Ye Zi picked up something from the table, then leaned into Cheng Zhu’s ear, her breath as sweet as orchids.

"Boss, use it first, then use me, alternating between the two."

"I want to compare myself to it."
