Chapter 254: Chapter 165: Hurry Up, Time Is Tight and the Task Is Heavy
Many people commented on the video, waiting for shipments from Guangdong Province.
This was the mindset of most Chinese people—once a product was domestic, they found it hard to accept a high price tag!
Another group of people, however, were fans of the GY National Style Treasure Box and held GY’s products in high regard, so they were also very excited about this new bag.
Gao Yuan knew about the company’s promotional plan and was very supportive of it. However, he hadn’t expected it to cause such a stir online.
He only found out because the System had issued a new quest.
Since he was driving, Gao Yuan didn’t check the quest right away. He waited until he got home to take a closer look.
[DING! Charming Uncle - Brand Growth Quest 1.0 initiated.]
[Quest]: Sell out all GY National Style Bags within one week.
[Quest Reward 1]: AI Design Workshop.
[Quest Reward 2]: 15 experience points.
[Note: The Host need only use the System to generate the desired design. Products manufactured from this design will be inimitable.]
According to the System’s quest requirements, he had to sell 9,999 bags in one week.
That was nearly 200 million in sales revenue!
Moreover, the System’s rewards were very generous this time. The first was the AI Design Workshop, which meant he could use it for all his future designs.
This would drastically reduce design costs. Plus, the System’s designs were inimitable. Gao Yuan didn’t even have to think to know how badass that was!
On top of that, the quest was worth 15 experience points.
’The System is so generous!’
After marveling at the System’s generosity, Gao Yuan’s brow furrowed in concentration.
’Ten thousand bags!’
’That’s 200 million in sales!’
He went straight to his desk and turned on his computer.
He needed to check exactly how many of the National Style sets had been sold and see if the number had surpassed ten thousand.
He checked the data from the three online stores and found that sales for the National Style set hadn’t yet broken ten thousand; there were only a little over five thousand orders.
That was still less than half the target. Besides, the chances of a customer who bought skincare also buying a handbag were significantly lower.
They might bite the bullet and buy a skincare set, or coax a boyfriend or husband into buying one for them, but getting them to buy another bag at the same price point was probably unrealistic.
’So, completing this System quest is going to take some clever thinking.’
’Relying on direct sales from the stores probably won’t be enough. I have to build some hype, make this bag a hot topic!’
’As for building hype, I need a plan. Going through high-traffic platforms like TikTok would probably be difficult and take too long. The brand recognition isn’t strong enough, so people don’t have that trust yet.’
Just then, Gao Yuan heard a clamor of voices from the television.
He glanced up and saw Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing watching the variety show *Ace vs. Ace*.
Instantly, Gao Yuan’s eyes lit up.
’Celebrities!’
’I need to leverage the celebrity effect!’
At this thought, Gao Yuan realized he really would have to ask Wang Sichao for help.
He was acquainted with a few celebrities, but they didn’t know him.
Besides, Wang Sichao knew plenty of online influencers. They represented a huge amount of spending power, and their desire to one-up each other was intense.
With this in mind, Gao Yuan picked up his phone and called Wang Sichao.
’It’s only a little after 9 PM. He probably hasn’t started his nightlife yet, right?’
The call connected quickly. Gao Yuan didn’t beat around the bush. "Young Master Wang, are you familiar with people in the entertainment industry?"
"Of course!"
"Which starlet have you got your eye on?"
"Let me tell you, I’ve got so much tea..."
Gao Yuan had barely gotten a sentence out before Wang Sichao started rambling on, claiming he had tons of celebrity gossip.
’He wasn’t calling for gossip. What did he care about celebrity scandals!’
"We’ll come back to the gossip later."
"Mhm, yeah. We can come later, too."
Gao Yuan was speechless. ’He meant ’come back’ to the topic, not the other kind of ’come’... What the hell was this nonsense!’
"I was wondering if you have any connections in Hollywood?"
"Damn! Brother Yuan, you’re playing that wild now?"
"But hey, I’ve got some tea on Hollywood stars, too."
Gao Yuan had just mentioned Hollywood, and Wang Sichao had misunderstood again.
"Hold it!"
"I’m calling you about something business-related."
The moment Gao Yuan said that, Wang Sichao’s tone on the other end of the line turned serious. "Brother Yuan, you’re not about to open a round of financing, are you?"
Sensing Wang Sichao’s shift in attitude, Gao Yuan said softly, "It’s not about financing. I have something I need your help with."
"Help? Of course. Go ahead, Brother Yuan."
"My family’s film and television company has some partnerships with Hollywood. If I can help, you know I will, no questions asked."
Then, Gao Yuan explained his idea.
Gao Yuan’s plan was simple: he wanted Wang Sichao’s help in getting some Hollywood superstars to buy a GY set and handbag.
Then, if possible, have them post about their purchase on social media.
That way, GY could arrange for a paid online marketing team to build buzz for the bag and hype it up.
"Oh, that’s it?"
"That shouldn’t be a problem. The logistics of them buying it might be a bit tricky, but I can take care of that for you too!"
When Wang Sichao heard Gao Yuan mention Hollywood, he assumed he was trying to arrange a celebrity endorsement for GY. He didn’t expect it to be such a minor request.
He knew about GY’s National Style set; he’d even bought it for his girlfriends. After all, it was a huge hit online, and many women saw owning the skincare set as a symbol of being loved.
As Eldest Young Master Wang, he was naturally happy to satisfy his girlfriends’ wishes.
’But why isn’t Gao Yuan just gifting it to them?’
