Chapter 48: We Must Treat the Boss Like Royalty
The entire streaming room, inside and out, was completely dumbfounded at this moment!
Paper levitation magic is quite easy to figure out.
Anyone who knows a bit about magic can understand what's happening.
It's nothing more than hiding the props in the sleeves and using visual tricks to make it look like the paper is being lifted, as if floating in mid-air.
What about the magic Lu Li performed?
His hands were right in front of the camera, with no place to hide any tools.
The most crucial point, Lu Li was several centimeters away from the floating paper, which doesn't make any sense at all!
That would be enough, but then you have the paper floating in the air magically fold itself into a paper crane?
This is simply impossible!
No magician could do that.
Unless this was an edited video.
Everyone knows this isn't edited.
Because it's live streaming right now!
For this reason, more than 20,000 viewers in the live room were all dumbfounded.
In the corner of the streaming room, dozens of colleagues, whether it's Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, or others, were all watching with eyes full of amazement, seemingly trying to find some clues.
Unfortunately, not even these dozens of colleagues, let alone the 20,000 viewers in the live room, could figure out Lu Li's magic trick!
Silence!
Dead silence!
Everyone was staring in stupefaction at the paper crane floating in mid-air, utterly dumbstruck.
Lu Li, indifferent to everyone's reaction, just smiled slightly at the camera, "So, can anyone crack my magic?"
Everyone was in a state of shock, but upon hearing Lu Li's voice, they suddenly snapped back to reality.
Instantly, the comment section exploded!
"Holy shit!"
"I'm bowing down! Great God Lu Li, I bow to you!"
"What's up with this magic?"
"Please explain it, I'm begging you, I'm really on my knees in front of the screen!"
"Great God Lu Li, I admire you, I truly admire you!"
This was the reaction of some stupefied viewers.
And there's a small group of viewers who seemed a bit skeptical.
"Magic always has flaws!"
"Hang in there, everybody, I'm about to ask a magician to figure this out!"
Many skeptical viewers were yelling as they ran off to find someone to crack the magic.
Lu Li didn't care about their actions and continued speaking to the live camera, "The gentleman who said he would order a hundred robotic vacuum cleaners, did my magic meet your expectations? If it did, please uphold your promise."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately placed an order for a hundred robotic vacuum cleaners on the side screen!
Apparently, that wealthy gentleman kept his word!
Amid this, the self-proclaimed magic-master who was yet to crack it also sent a comment: "A gentleman's word is his bond. Although I am not as rich as the wealthy gentleman, I promised to order five robotic vacuum cleaners if I couldn't crack the magic, so I'm ordering now!"
After that, someone immediately ordered five units on the side screen!
Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and Xiaoqing were still immersed in Lu Li's astonishing magic, but seeing these orders, they all went into ecstatic excitement.
Impressive indeed!
Deputy Manager Lu is simply amazing!
His first live selling broadcast sold 105 robotic vacuum cleaners for the company, which is truly encouraging!
Manager Zhou's hands were shaking with excitement.
Vice Manager Lin jubilantly punched the air to express his joy and excitement.
Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, and Xiaomei quietly cheered continuously.
Dozens of colleagues were extremely thrilled.
They truly did not expect Lu Li's live-selling performance to be so successful, bringing such impressive results for the company.
Perhaps Lu Li's magic performance lifted the mood.
Although no one placed large orders like the wealthy gentleman or the magic-cracking master, small orders kept coming one after another.
One person ordered!
Five people ordered!
Twelve people ordered!
In just a short while, the number of orders skyrocketed!
The audience in the streaming room was showing their appreciation for Lu Li through actual actions!
Of course, not all orders were for robotic vacuum cleaners.
Some were for other relatively cheaper products.
Not only were orders being placed, but many people were also following the streaming room, becoming fans.
But regardless of whether they placed orders or followed the streaming room, Lu Li never revealed the secret of the magic.
Well, he couldn't reveal it.
How could he explain something done with his super strong spiritual power?
Unknowingly, time flew by, nearing ten o'clock.
The live selling broadcast was coming to an end.
The group who went online to search for ways to crack this magic returned to the streaming room in defeat.
As expected, they didn't find any similar magic tricks, let alone cracking methods.
Although the live stream was nearing its end, the audience was still clamoring for Lu Li to reveal the magic secret.
Lu Li checked the time, then smiled at the camera and said, "I won't reveal the secret of this magic for now. Moreover, I promise that for the next month, if anyone can crack this magic, feel free to tell me in the streaming room. My promise of giving out a free robotic vacuum cleaner remains valid!"
"I will definitely crack it!"
"Yes, Great God Lu Li, don't be arrogant, just wait for me to crack it!"
"Hmph, I'll crack your magic trick tomorrow and make you bleed by giving me a robot vacuum cleaner!"
A group of defiant viewers kept shouting in the bullet chat.
The corner of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but curl up, thinking to himself that even he couldn't figure out this magic trick, so there must be something wrong if they did.
The live broadcast time was almost up.
He was about to say goodbye to the viewers.
Suddenly, a fan of the Blazing Babe asked: "Great God Lu Li, I'm confused about something. Your live broadcast room advertised that Blazing Babe would be selling products live, why hasn't she shown up?"
"Yeah, where's my Blazing Babe?"
"Where exactly did she go?"
A group of Blazing Babe's fans kept asking over there.
Lu Li frowned slightly.
To be honest, if he exposed Blazing Babe's disgusting deeds to the company now, she would definitely face a lot of criticism.
After all, he had evidence, and the other party wouldn't be able to deny it.
However, after careful consideration, he decided not to "ruin" Blazing Babe immediately.
Because he was considering a lot of factors, hoping to gain more benefits from Blazing Babe.
With a calm expression, Lu Li explained to the live camera: "We did discuss a collaboration with Blazing Babe, and she was supposed to do a live product selling session tonight. However, some unexpected events occurred, preventing her from making it. I'm not able to reveal the specifics at the moment. How about this, you can ask her yourself when we do another live stream tomorrow or the day after?"
"Alright then."
"Ask her when she goes live."
A few of Blazing Babe's fans replied sparsely.
"No, Great God Lu Li, I enjoy watching your live streams."
"Right, who wants to watch Blazing Babe? I just want to see your broadcasts!"
"Great God Lu Li, you must appear in the next live stream, or else I'll unfollow and switch my fandom!"
The majority of the audience didn't care for Blazing Babe, expressing their love for Lu Li instead.
Lu Li didn't expect everyone to like him so much.
He chatted with the viewers for a bit more and then said to the live camera: "That's it for tonight's live stream. Thank you all for your support. Let's meet again in the next day or two!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Assistant broadcaster Li Shishi turned off the live stream.
As soon as the broadcast ended, Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and all the remaining colleagues rushed over.
"Wow, Deputy Manager Lu, I didn't expect you to be so awesome!"
"Haha, what a great start! With Deputy Manager Lu's first appearance, our first live stream got an instant huge response!"
"Our live stream room really became famous this time, we gained tens of thousands of fans!"
"Overnight, we got several tens of thousands of fans, Deputy Manager Lu is amazing!"
Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, Xiaomei, and others were all beaming with joy.
Vice Manager Lin rushed forward and gave Lu Li's shoulder a strong pat, loudly praising: "Deputy Manager Lu, well done! You've truly rescued our company from a crisis today!"
Hearing the direct subordinate's praise, Lu Li felt wonderful, but he spoke with great humility, "Just lucky, just lucky. Didn't expect to have so many viewers."
"How is this luck? It's clearly your strong capability!"
Manager Zhou also came over, his previous dismissive attitude completely gone.
He threw an arm around Lu Li's shoulder affectionately and said: "Deputy Manager Lu, for bringing such excellent results to the company's live product selling session tonight, I must organize a celebratory banquet for you!"
Lu Li couldn't believe Manager Zhou wasn't holding a grudge against him at all.
Since Manager Zhou was opening up to him, Lu Li certainly wouldn't show any hostility. He smiled and said: "Alright, I'll go along with you tonight, Manager Zhou. Just make sure it's a high-end restaurant."
"It'll definitely be a high-end restaurant, let's all have a nice meal to celebrate." Manager Zhou was extremely excited, even cracking a joke, "Look at this utterly clueless guy I was before, barking away at the beginning, little did I know our Deputy Manager Lu was so capable. I, uh, will never doubt Deputy Manager Lu's skills again!"
"Haha!"
"Manager Zhou, you're so funny!"
Everyone joined in the laughter.
Actually, everyone understood that Manager Zhou was apologizing to Lu Li in a joking manner.
Just as everyone was having a lively chat, event controller Qian Yu came over with the statistics sheet, "Manager Zhou, Deputy Manager Lu, the order count and sales amount from tonight's live stream are out."
"Oh?" Manager Zhou quickly turned his head, "How many orders? And what are the sales figures?"
Lu Li also looked at Qian Yu.
Vice Manager Lin pricked up his ears.
Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, Xiaomei, and dozens of other colleagues reacted in unison.
Everyone was staring at Qian Yu, wanting to know how much revenue tonight's live stream brought to the company.
Qian Yu looked at the statistics sheet, his face showing a slightly incredulous expression, "Tonight, there were as many as two hundred seventy-six orders, and the sales amount... seventy-nine thousand!"
"Whoa!"
"Seventy-nine thousand in sales on the first live stream?"
"Oh wow, that's quite an impressive sales figure!"
When everyone heard this statistical number, they all jumped up.
Don't be fooled by super hosts like Zhang Qiqi and the Three-headed Bull, who can make sales figures of tens of millions or billions in one session, seventy-nine thousand might seem small in comparison, but in reality, it's no small thing.
Generally speaking, if a live product selling session yields sales worth tens of thousands of yuan, it's already considered good.
For example, in Blazing Babe's previous live streams selling snacks, she was able to earn four thousand per session, making it possible to demand an "advertising fee" of thirty-five percent from the "patron".
Snack sales are usually relatively large, so a high number of orders is normal.
Vox's products are not snacks but high-tech home products.
A single robot vacuum cleaner costs three to four thousand yuan.
Even the cheaper products are at least a few hundred yuan.
The order count would definitely be less than for snacks.
Two hundred seventy-six orders can be considered very impressive.
A sales figure of seventy-nine thousand is truly astounding.
With this, Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, Xiaoqing, and dozens of other colleagues looked at Lu Li with even more fervent eyes because he is now the company's prized asset, single-handedly supporting a live stream and generating seventy-nine thousand in sales overnight. They must treat this distinguished guest well!
