Chapter 1001: 981. Live Streaming Platform

To be honest, Zhang Yanping has been waiting for this phone call for a long time.

Back then, when Qiaoqiao picked a livestreaming platform, it was totally random. But as luck would have it, this particular platform didn’t initially plan to focus on sales, so the content restrictions were minimal.

For instance, he often wasn’t even on camera during his streams, or he would casually break down the product features one by one... These types of streams were still totally viable here.

Selling products could even be done across different platforms, with the only difference being the commission rates.

Of course, this platform doesn’t have as much market share as a giant like TikTok. But it does boast high audience loyalty and strong purchasing power—an undeniable advantage.

In fact, when it comes to "high audience purchasing power," Zhang Yanping suspects it’s mostly thanks to Qiaoqiao...

Either way, the overall vibe of Qiaoqiao’s stream compared to those big-name platforms is honestly leagues better. And since Qiaoqiao himself doesn’t care much about metrics, no one has seriously considered switching platforms.

Thus, when this offer came in, Zhang Yanping took it very seriously.

Conveniently, on a platform with such strong audience engagement and buying power, Qiaoqiao is basically their one-of-a-kind star. Other streamers might have tens of millions of followers, but their conversion rates and view counts are far more straightforward measures!

So, the other party approached carefully: "Hello, we noticed you’ve been consistently linking Taotao Treasure. Is there something about our platform’s shopping experience that seems inconvenient?"

"After all, compared to Taotao Treasure’s commission rates, ours are significantly more competitive."

The polite tone immediately made Zhang Yanping understand who held the upper hand in this negotiation.

He chuckled lightly, not trying to posture, and casually replied: "It’s not that we haven’t considered it, but Taotao Treasure has been convenient to use, so we haven’t thought much about switching... Besides, I’ve heard that top streamers usually get signing bonuses, but we’ve never received such an offer. Thought maybe we didn’t stand out."

In today’s traffic-centered era, livestreaming platforms are popping up everywhere. Any major influencer with a built-in fanbase is already a valuable asset. Offering signing bonuses is industry standard, but for this platform, the threshold is typically over a million followers to even get noticed.

Still, Zhang Yanping feels that with Qiaoqiao’s charm, they should absolutely give this a shot.

This isn’t about whether they need it—it’s about the platform investing resources. Once they’ve committed funds, they’ll be even more motivated to protect their investment.

The operator on the other end was thrilled!

It’s not demands they fear—it’s the lack of them!

Moreover, they’d already discussed the terms during internal meetings. Without hesitation, they replied:

"Don’t worry, our platform has always treated streamers and fans fairly. Host Qiaoqiao definitely has the charisma and the achievements we’ve seen firsthand. Anything you’ve mentioned, we’re open to discussing. However, forgive me for being direct, Qiaoqiao’s situation is unique, and we may need authorization from immediate family members. Would it be possible to visit your home sometime in the next two days?"

Clearly used to an efficient work rhythm, they didn’t wait for Zhang Yanping’s response, seamlessly rattling off their plan:

"The winter holidays are approaching, which is a peak traffic period. If we finalize discussions smoothly by the end of the month, we can officially feature the onboarding announcement on our homepage by New Year’s Day—"

The plan sounded solid. While they hadn’t yet discussed specific terms, their sincerity was evident. A homepage announcement during New Year—an enormous traffic period—was clearly meant to funnel attention to Qiaoqiao’s channel.

However, Zhang Yanping thought it over and responded:

"New Year’s isn’t good for us."

He confidently smiled: "Signing around New Year would be too rushed, and I think it might affect your team’s evaluation of Host Qiaoqiao."

"If you’re willing, I’d like to propose January 10th—Laba Festival—as the date. We’re inviting the platform’s representatives to our home for a pig-slaughter feast."

"After the feast, we can delve into specific terms, including details like which shopping links to keep in use going forward. How does that sound?"

Come on! Whether it was signing contracts with imported fruit merchants or premium farms, he’d never been outmaneuvered.

Qiaoqiao’s fan base hasn’t hit a million yet, but if they’re coming to negotiate, that’s already breaking tradition.

And after attending the feast, if they don’t double the signing bonus or reduce the shopping link commission... well, he wouldn’t be called Zhang Yanping!

Ending the call, Zhang Yanping glanced over to where Qiaoqiao was busy washing radishes by the canal for the livestream audience. He sighed helplessly:

"Qiaoqiao, I swear I’ve worried myself sick for you! If you make it big, don’t forget your cousin."

Qiaoqiao blinked in confusion before looking up: "Why would I forget? Brother Yanping, are you worried that if too many people come to the pig-slaughter feast, you won’t stand out?"

Always quick-witted, Qiaoqiao cheerfully reassured him: "Then I’ll give you one of the kids’ gifts too, so you won’t feel left out or forgotten!"

Thinking about the Ultraman and Peppa Pig stickers they’d just been unpacking a few days ago, Zhang Yanping suddenly fell silent.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat went wild:

[What gift is that?!]

[The announcement said participating fans must wear a gift from Teacher Qiaoqiao... What exactly is it?]

[Badges? Can I get one with Da Wang on it?]

[I want one of Daxiong! Seriously, do you sell merch at all?]

[I’m different—I want a giant Big White pillow with flapping wings for drama!]

[Host, you’re close to hitting a million fans already! How about releasing official merchandise for us?]

[Does the merch have to be wearable? Can’t we eat it? Give us edible merch!]

[Host, just consider turning the radish in your hand into merch—I’d happily hang it around my neck!]

[What kind of daydreaming nonsense is this? You think you’re going to the pig-slaughter feast?]

[Ugh, you totally got me there!]

[Haha, I’ve already bought my round-trip tickets!]

[Same here—anyone arriving in Yun City on January 9th? Let’s meet up!]

[I could only snag January 10th tickets. I’ll have to wake up at 3 AM to get there on time!]

[Ugh, there are barely a few slots. Why are you all chatting like everyone’s got one?!]

[I bought tickets too, folks. I’m creating a group chat—join in!]

Qiaoqiao handed the clean radish over to Zhang Yanping. Then, wiping his hands with a fluffy scarf, he mimicked Wu Lan’s habit of using an apron to dry her hands...

He raised his phone and announced cheerfully: "Alright, kiddos, let’s go check out the strawberries! We’ve also got cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes, and peppers..."

The livestream exploded:

[!!! Yet you keep claiming you’re not growing anything...]

[Please, I’m begging you—sell me a watermelon! I’ll cover the shipping costs myself, alright?]

[Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! Host Qiaoqiao, nowadays express shipping gets items delivered the next day or the day after—can’t you send strawberries already?]

[Aaaaah, I can’t go to the pig-slaughter feast, I can’t get strawberries... Why am I even still here?!]

[Host Qiaoqiao, you’re like a resilience-training influencer!]
