Chapter 942: Live Streaming Platform

To tell the truth, Zhang Yanping had been waiting for this call for a long time.

Although Qiaoqiao had chosen the live streaming platform at random when he first started, it turned out to be a happy accident; this platform hadn't intended to focus on e-commerce initially, so there were no restrictions on the content of the streams.

For instance, he would often wander out of frame while streaming, or he would frequently promote the benefits of his products in a straightforward, earnest manner—all of these were perfectly acceptable in his stream.

E-commerce could even be integrated through various platforms; it was just that the commission rates differed.

Of course, its market share wasn't as massive as Douyin, but the overall fan loyalty and purchasing power on this platform were excellent, which could be considered a major advantage—

Actually, Zhang Yanping felt that this "high fan purchasing power" might just be a result of Qiaoqiao's influence...

But regardless, the overall atmosphere of the live streaming room was far better than those massive, explosive platforms, and since Qiaoqiao himself didn't care about the data, they hadn't thought about switching.

Since the other party had reached out, Zhang Yanping had to respond seriously.

And coincidentally, this was the only streamer on the entire platform with such strong fan loyalty and purchasing power! Even if other streamers had millions of followers, the conversion rate and view counts were the most direct metrics!

Therefore, the operator's tone was cautious: "Hello, we've noticed you've been using Taotao Bao links all along. Is there something about our platform's shopping experience that isn't quite suitable?"

"After all, compared to the commission rates on the Taotao Bao platform, our own platform's rates are quite favorable."

Based on the other party's tone, Zhang Yanping instantly understood the power dynamic of this conversation.

He smiled and didn't play hard to get, simply saying, "It's not that we haven't considered it, but we're used to Taotao Bao and hadn't thought about it before... Also, I've heard that big streamers get signing bonuses, and since we hadn't received any such invitations, we assumed we weren't significant enough."

In this era of traffic, live streaming platforms are popping up everywhere, and a big streamer with their own fan base is an IP in their own right. Therefore, inviting streamers with signing bonuses is common practice in the industry, though usually, only those with over a million followers get noticed.

But Zhang Yanping felt that, given Qiaoqiao's charm, they could certainly vie for one.

This had nothing to do with whether they needed the money; it was purely because if the platform invested capital, they would naturally be more attentive to ensure their investment wasn't wasted.

The operator on the other end was pleasantly surprised!

They weren't afraid of demands; they were afraid of having no demands at all!

Furthermore, they had already discussed the invitation terms during their meeting, so they didn't hesitate and said directly:

"Rest assured, our platform treats streamers and fans fairly and impartially. We've seen Qiaoqiao's charm and his results with our own eyes. The conditions you mentioned are all negotiable—however, please forgive my forwardness, but given Qiaoqiao's unique situation, we might need authorization from his immediate family. Would it be convenient for us to visit in the next two days?"

The other party was clearly accustomed to a fast-paced rhythm, and without waiting for Zhang Yanping to reply, they rattled off a series of arrangements:

"The winter break is coming up, which is a peak period for traffic. If the negotiations go smoothly by the end of the month, we can officially announce his entry on the website's homepage on New Year's Day—"

The arrangements were quite good, and although the specific terms hadn't been discussed, the other party had clearly expressed their sincerity. After all, using the homepage announcement to drive traffic to Qiaoqiao was a massive investment.

But Zhang Yanping thought for a moment and replied:

"New Year's Day won't work."

He smiled confidently: "Signing on New Year's Day is too rushed, and I think it would affect your assessment of Qiaoqiao."

"If you are willing, I invite the person in charge of the platform to come to my home on January 10th, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, to attend a pig-slaughtering feast."

"After this feast, we can discuss the specific terms, including the details of the shopping cart integration, after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Does that work?"

Just kidding! He had never lost out when helping his parents sign contracts with imported fruit merchants or collecting premium produce directly from orchards.

Qiaoqiao had fewer than a million followers right now; the fact that they were willing to talk meant they were making an exception.

But after attending the pig-slaughtering feast, if they didn't double the signing bonus or reduce the commission on the shopping cart... then his name wasn't Zhang Yanping!

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yanping looked at Qiaoqiao, who was still washing radishes by the irrigation ditch for everyone to see, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Qiaoqiao, I've really racked my brains for your sake! Don't forget your cousin when you make it big."

Qiaoqiao was stunned, then looked up: "Why would I forget you? Are you afraid that too many people will come to the pig-slaughtering feast and you won't be noticed?"

As a thoughtful, good-hearted boy, Qiaoqiao was quite quick-witted and comforted him: "I'll give you one of the gifts I prepared for the kids when they arrive, so you won't be forgotten!"

Zhang Yanping thought of the Ultraman and Peppa Pig stickers he had received as goods a couple of days ago, and fell silent.

The live streaming room, however, was pleasantly surprised:

【What kind of gift!】

【The announcement says fans attending must wear the gift given by Teacher Qiaoqiao... what is it?】

【Is it a badge? Do you have badges of Big Wang?】

【I want Big Bear's! Are you going to release merchandise?】

【I'm different; I want a body pillow of Big White flapping its wings and ready to peck people.】

【Streamer, you're almost at a million followers, release some merchandise for everyone!】

【Does this merchandise have to be worn? Can it be eaten? Give us something edible!】

【Streamer, use the radish in your hand as merchandise; I'm willing to hang it around my neck.】

【The person above, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Can you even attend the pig-slaughtering feast?】

【Damn, you stabbed me right in the heart.】

【Hehehe, hahaha, the round-trip tickets are already bought.】

【Bought mine too, brothers! Is anyone arriving in Yuncheng on the 9th?】

【I only managed to grab a ticket for the 10th; I have to get up at 3 AM for this.】

【Damn, there are only a few spots, why are you all chatting so excitedly as if everyone has one!】

【I bought a ticket too, brothers! I've created a group in the comments section, everyone join!】

Qiaoqiao washed the radish, handed it to Zhang Yanping, and wiped his hands with his fluffy scarf, his movements mimicking the way Wu Lan usually wiped her hands on her apron...

He then held up his phone: "Kids, I'm going to take you to see the strawberries now! And the cucumbers, watermelons, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers..."

Live streaming room:

【!!! And you still say you aren't growing anything!】

【Please, sell us a watermelon! I'll pay for the shipping myself!】

【Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! Qiaoqiao, express delivery is next-day or second-day now, you know you can send strawberries!】

【Ahhhhh, there's no me at the pig-slaughtering feast, and no strawberries for me either. Why am I still not leaving!】

【Willpower training zone streamer—Teacher Qiaoqiao!】
