Lu Shuangyue's reminder snapped Liu Ergou to his senses.
That's right, it's ti for the second batch of Snow Skin Cream sales. Co to think of it, it's been more than half a month... nearly a whole month. The hype for Snow Skin Cream is about to die down. If we don't start the second batch of sales, Snow Skin Cream is dood to be a flash in the pan before disappearing from the market forever.
At the thought, Liu Ergou couldn't help but shiver.
Thank goodness he had Lu Shuangyue. If he were on his own, no amount of money would be enough to cover the losses. His business sense was truly abysmal.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou said hurriedly, "Shuang Yue, I'm so glad you brought that up—I almost forgot! It's ti to sell the second batch of Snow Skin Cream. Rember to notify when you guys are back in the city! That way I can go check on how the second batch is coming along."
However, Liu Ergou never expected what ca next. As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Shuangyue imdiately shot back, "Hmph, notify you? I'm afraid that when the ti cos, you'll just say you're busy again! The three of us are already back in the city, right here at Orange Bear's streaming company. Get over here, now! And be quick about it. You have half an hour. If you're late, you're sleeping alone tonight!
"And don't even think about going to any of the other girls' places. We'll call every single one of them to warn them!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou's hair stood on end. Since when did Lu Shuangyue learn such ruthless tactics? This is terrifying!
He imdiately promised, "Don't worry! I don't need half an hour. I'll be there in 20 minutes, tops. Wait for !"
With that, Liu Ergou hung up. He said a quick goodbye to Lu Xiaoyu, then turned and got back into his car. He started the engine and sped straight toward Orange Bear's company.
To avoid sleeping alone, Liu Ergou floored it, wishing he could ram the pedal right through the floorboard.
Racing against the clock, Liu Ergou managed to arrive at Orange Bear's company in just 15 minutes. Of course, even while racing against ti, Liu Ergou didn't break any laws. His speed never once exceeded the limit.
Standing downstairs from Orange Bear's company building, Liu Ergou couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. I finally made it, and so much earlier than I had to.
With that thought, he headed straight upstairs and soon reached the top floor. When he reached the door to Orange Bear's office, Liu Ergou took several deep breaths to calm himself before pushing the door open and walking inside.
He saw Orange Bear, Lu Shuangyue, and He Mingxue sitting there chatting.
When Lu Shuangyue saw Liu Ergou enter, she said in surprise, "Er Gou, I'm surprised you got here so fast! I was sure you'd be late."
Liu Ergou replied with a smile, "How could I possibly be late? You said if I was, I'd have to sleep alone. The re thought of that scared so much I practically stomped the gas pedal into the engine! I rushed over so I wouldn't be late!"
His words made everyone laugh. After sharing a laugh, the four of them quickly got down to business.
Liu Ergou took a seat on the sofa and said with a serious expression, "Alright, jokes aside. It's ti to talk about Snow Skin Cream. Shuang Yue told on the phone that we need to start selling the second batch. So, do we have enough inventory?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Lu Shuangyue.
Seeing his gaze, Lu Shuangyue imdiately nodded. "I've already called the factory. After a stock check, our inventory is more than ample this ti around. If we sell it like we did last ti, we have more than enough stock. We could even go with a brick-and-mortar retail model!"
Hearing "brick-and-mortar," Liu Ergou shook his head. "We can't go with brick-and-mortar. The overhead is too high, and we could easily lose money if things go wrong. Selling online is better; the costs are much lower."
After discussing Snow Skin Cream, another thought occurred to Liu Ergou. "By the way, what about the other products?" he asked. "How's the stock for those?"
"I asked about that too. Everything is very well-stocked," Lu Shuangyue replied. "You can rest assured on the inventory front. There definitely won't be any problems."
Seeing Lu Shuangyue's confidence, Liu Ergou didn't press further and turned to Orange Bear instead. "Orange, I'm a bit worried about selling the new products. Do you think people will actually buy them?"
Orange Bear patted his chest. "Don't worry, Er Gou. I already thought about that, so I conducted a survey in advance. The survey responses show that many people are looking forward to our new items. A lot of them feel Snow Skin Cream is too expensive and were hoping for a more affordable alternative. These new products are the perfect substitute."
Liu Ergou breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could say anything, Orange Bear's brow furrowed. "There is one small problem, though."
"Hm? What problem?" Liu Ergou asked, frowning as he looked at Orange Bear.
Orange Bear imdiately replied, "An online sar campaign has popped up. They're claiming our Snow Skin Cream causes skin ulcers, allergic reactions, and even asles. They say they've gone to the hospital and are threatening to sue us for compensation!"
When Liu Ergou heard what the issue was, he let out a long sigh of relief. "Hah, is that all? I was worried it was sothing serious! Don't worry about those online trolls. Our Snow Skin Cream is certified, so there can't be anything wrong with it. If they think there's a real problem, let them take it to a lab for testing. They can co to us when they have an official report!"
Hearing this, Orange Bear still seed a bit uneasy. "Ah? Er Gou, are you sure that's a good idea? What if those people actually sue us? That could turn into a huge ss!"
However, Liu Ergou wasn't the least bit concerned. "It's fine. Our business is legitimate and we operate above board. If they're really trying to extort us, then they shouldn't be surprised when I co down on them hard. For now, tell your people to keep a record of everyone claiming our products caused them problems. Let's see if they make any further moves. Just keep an eye on it for now, and let know if anything develops."
Hearing Liu Ergou's instructions, Orange Bear said no more and simply nodded in understanding.
