On the other side, in the office of Starstone Entertainment.

At this time, Wang Xi was holding her cell phone and her fingers were furiously clicking on the screen.

Zhou Qi came over and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Buying fruits in the livestream channel of Brother Cheng and Momo’s farm,” Wang Xi replied.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows: “Are you planning to help them cheat?”

“No way, the fruits they’re selling in the livestream channel are really cheap.” If you see a good deal, you couldn’t not pick it. And if you don’t hurry, it would all be gone.

“And there’s no need for us to cheat. Do you see this? With this level of competition from online buyers, is there an need to cheat?” Wang Xi handed the phone to Zhou Qi to look at.

Lin Momo and the others have sold every kind of fruit in the warehouse, and every item had a huge discount. Unfortunately, Assistant Xiao Yang only sold 50 pieces of each kind of fruit, so if you were slow, you wouldn’t be able to grab it.

At noon.

Lin Cheng returned to the farm.

As soon as he walked into the office building, Lin Cheng saw Lin Momo squatting in front of the steps next to the entrance of the office building. She was holding her face in her hands, and she seemed a little depressed.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng walked up to Lin Momo and asked.

“Dad, you are back.”

“Yeah…”

Lin Momo wrung her fingers, then looked at Lin Cheng with a guilty look and whispered, “I seem to have lost money you money.”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Lin Cheng looked at Assistant Xiao Yang standing to side.

“That is…” Assistant Xiao Yang briefly reported the whole incident to Lin Cheng.

“After all the costs were accounted for, it’s not actually a loss,” Assistant Xiao Yang said. He glanced at Lin Cheng and said, “But the profit is not much.” It could basically be just break even.

Hearing what Assistant Xiao Yang said, Lin Cheng nodded, but he had no intention of blaming anyone. Instead, he looked at Lin Momo with a smile.

“Have you contacted the packing and shipping parties?” Lin Cheng asked.

“It’s all been arranged. The farm’s promotional information will be printed on the outer packaging of the product. This part of the work as well as the packing will be provided directly by the carrier.

“In terms of delivery, all orders placed today are expected to be shipped before 8pm tonight.”

Lin Cheng nodded when he heard this.

At this time, Assistant Xiao Yang thought for a while and asked, “Boss, do you think we should recruit a few professional sales streamers?”

“It’s not necessary for the time being,” Lin Cheng said and glanced at Assistant Xiao Yang, his eyes seeming to say, ‘Aren’t there a few of you who have nothing to do?‘

“…Okay, I understand…”

After Assistant Xiao Yang left, Lin Cheng knelt down in front of Lin Momo, rubbed her head, and comforted her, “Did you hear what Uncle Xiao Yang said? We didn’t lose any money.”

Lin Momo and Assistant Xiao Yang’s sales that morning were indeed not a loss.

According to fruit storage standards, the best picking period was when the fruits wre not yet fully mature. However, due to the previous closure of the farm, most of the fruits in the orchard had already ripened. Lin Momo and Assistant Xiao Yang were able to sell off these ripened fruits on the same day they were harvested. They were sold fresh from picking and didn’t need to take warehouse space. This was also a resource and cost saving measure in itself.

Moreover, although Lin Momo and the Assistant Xiao Yang did not make any money through their livestream, they at least made the livestream channel a bit popular and brought out a sales rhythm, which was not a loss.

“If the people who buy the fruit think it’s good, they will buy it again in the future, and they may even go to the farm to pick it in person. This is a good start for the farm’s operation,” Lin Cheng patiently said to Lin Momo.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lin Momo seemed to be relieved and nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng chuckled twice, rubbed the top Lin Momo’s again, and said, “Let’s go have lunch, and then you can take a nap obediently.”

Lin Momo nodded when she heard ‘eat lunch’, but quickly shook her head when she heard ‘take a nap’.

“Ah, no, I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and I don’t have time to take a nap,” Lin Momo said seriously.

After learning from this morning’s sales livestream experience, Lin Momo decided to look at their own shortcomings and learn from them—and the biggest, most glaring problem with their livestream was insufficient preparation.

So, after lunch, Lin Momo couldn’t wait to run to Lin Cheng’s office and start preparing for the next livestream.

Lin Momo first made a list in her little notebook, listing all the fruits available for sale on their farm, and then marked the price of each fruit in turn.

Learning from previous lessons, this time, Lin Momo decided on the price of each fruit by checking the price of similar fruits at other stores online and asking many uncles and aunts on the farm.

Later, Lin Momo took her mobile phone and went to other livestream channels to watch for a while, and then imitated how others sold goods. She wrote a few opening remarks and warm-up greetings in her notebook.

Finally, Lin Momo carefully added a detailed introduction and an catchy slogan after the name of each fruit in her list.

After doing all this and looking at the fruits of her labor, Lin Momo nodded with satisfaction.

… …

Before the livestream began that evening, Lin Momo solemnly handed her masterpiece to Lin Cheng.

T/N: Wang Xi and Zhou Qi talked about helping the Lin team ‘cheat’ because the dad and baby teams are supposed to get through the week on their own, without relying on their star power. Of course, with the other teams, fans-disguised-as-passersby kept giving them rides, buying them food, fulfilling their quota etc.
