Chapter 100: Starting to Sell Cat Food

Liu man went back home that evening, cleaned up the cat’s poop, poured out some cat food into the bowl, had dinner, and hurriedly logged onto her live-stream.

“Good evening, everyone. Before I start my live-stream, I would like to quickly advertise something. The fans who have been following me on Wei Bo should already know I’m working on becoming a cat food dealer recently. Now, everything’s all set.

Starting from tonight, everyone can start purchasing all kinds of Cats’ Garden cat food from my live-stream. I sell three types of packages: cat food in 8-pounds, 12-pounds, and 16-pounds. They include the chicken flavor, the deep-sea fish flavor, the venison flavor, the beef flavor, and the mixed flavors. No matter how fastidious your cat is about food, it would be satisfied with one of our flavors.

My Daylight enjoys the chicken flavor the most, so I would recommend it. The chicken flavored cat food has a higher price-performance ratio, too.

The fans who have just entered, if you didn’t hear what I said just now, you can go to my Wei Bo. I have a chart introducing all kinds of cat food flavors in my album.”

“Sis, how much does each type of cat food cost?”

“The 8-pounds package costs 609 RMB, the 12-pounds package costs 809 RMB, and the 16-pounds package costs 989 RMB. If you want to buy the deep-sea fish flavor or the venison flavor, you will need to pay 50 RMB more than the price I just said.”

Liu Man had just started her business, so she didn’t dare set her prices too high. She knew her fans would compare her prices with the price in Hong Kong. Liu Man double-checked her cost. Take the 12-pound package, for example. She spent 665 HKD to get it from Hong Kong Westland. The customs tax was around 80 HKD, since if 500 was subtracted from 665, which would be 165. 50 percent of 165 would be approximately 80 HKD. If that was added to the 665 HKD, she would be spending 750 HKD on one pack of 12-pounds cat food. It was way over 690 HKD, the original price in Hong Kong.

No wonder nobody was willing to be a dealer on Mainland. It cost too much.

To attract more customers at the start of her business, Liu Man felt it was reasonable for her to earn around 60 RMB per bag.

“Great! It’s cheaper than I imagined it to be. I’ve already ordered two bags of 12-pounds.” — I’m Tingting

“I’m going to buy 8-pounds of deep-sea fish to see if our Garfield likes it or not.” — Big Faced Cat

“I’m buying 16-pounds of chicken because that’s the most reasonable thing to do for me. I live in the north-western part of China, and the air is dry so I can store the cat food.” — Pancake

…

All the old cat fans of Princess Man made their order to support her.

There was a shopping cart feature on the live-streaming platform. The audiences could buy whatever the live-streamer was advertising by clicking on the shopping cart icon on the bottom left corner. Even if the live-streamer was offline, the fans could also find the shopping cart button on the live-streamer’s profile page and purchase the products at any time.

Liu Man had already written down all the different types of cat food, the packages, and the prices in her settings. Selling these here was different from selling things on Tao Bao, for this live-streaming platform will not vouch as a third party. Once the fans made their payments, the money would go directly to the live-streamer’s account, and the live-streamer would be able to exchange that currency for cash in reality. The platform would take one percent of the money as a service fee and two percent as tax. These fees would exactly offset the exchange rate of HKD and RMB.
