Once the catch was processed, Huang Ji sold it to leave some money for Shi Tian to cover fuel costs. Zhang Hongjin Qiang and Big Red Spot took away the standard fish, while the substandard ones were left for Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell. The remaining cheap fish, which Shi Tian had no time to handle this time, were also left for Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell.
A group of people helped tidy up the boat, and it was a hassle for Scallion and Ginger to take Old Lin across the street to handle matters for the online store. Shi Tian needed to hurry and dock the boat at the Yacht Dock. Shi Ye Kong Jun and his crew would be back next week; after that, they would go out to sea with the Air Force, so he didn’t have to worry too much.
After parking Mini Air Force, he turned around and climbed aboard the Air Force. The boat hadn’t been started in months, so it was time to warm up the engine. He inserted the key, checked everything, and started the engine, letting it run for a while.
Shi Ye and his crew were returning, and he couldn’t let this slip to Old Master or anyone else; otherwise, they would rush back immediately. If that happened, it would likely scare the Air Force crew into canceling their tickets and staying in Africa indefinitely!
He wondered what good things these few would bring back. He had promised them Boat Rods, so he needed to prepare those. However, Wo Liao had to be kept hidden; without some leverage in hand, it wouldn’t be easy to extort good items from them.
He decided to make a set of Boat Rods for each of them; he still had some Points left, though they were a bit tight. Pingtou Ge had mentioned he could sell him ten or eight sets. This money was meant for repaying debts, so he needed to push out some Hooks quickly. If he could get the online store up and running in a few days with good sales, then Points would come rolling in!
With this determination, Shi Tian brought the Fishing Box onto the Air Force and dove into his room. He connected the Power Supply and got started on making three Boat Rods!
Something felt off! Last time Pingtou Ge took a break, Li Ziyu went missing; as soon as Pingtou Ge returned to the platform, Li Ziyu came back too. What was their relationship? Both shared the surname Li and were close in age—father and daughter was impossible; could they be siblings? Or something else? No matter what, he needed to find a way to pry some information from Li Ziyu later!
But that was secondary; there were bigger matters at hand! With Points being the priority—once he had enough Points, he could repay his debts! Resolute now, he locked away the Boat Rods for the three men in his room, turned off the Engine, and set off for something important!
Taking a taxi back to the store, Old Lin was quite efficient—everything was being listed one by one. Although all photos were taken without makeup, they would suffice!
“Old Lin,” he said, “raise the price of thirty sets of Hooks to $8.88 each. Let’s start with ten thousand units and add ‘Xingpai Fishing Gear’ in the title!”
The delivery deal was finalized; Shi Chui personally negotiated it. The price he got from Old Lin was not far off—four dollars per order.
What profit could be made at four dollars per order? The store had already hired three people; selling one Hook earned only a few dimes. After deducting Packaging costs, even selling a thousand orders a day barely covered wages—this was a losing business!
“Boss,” Old Lin said cautiously, “we can raise prices, but changing titles might lower our ranking. How about we wait until the Images are out before making changes? That way we only lose ranking once; we can recover quickly after selling thousands of units!”
Shi Tian’s sudden change left Old Lin bewildered; hadn’t they agreed on this before? He had said that online store matters were under his control—how did everything change so suddenly? If Shi Tian continued being so unpredictable, Old Lin would have to reconsider whether staying in Sanya was worth it.
Once the Images were out, they could create a new Link easily. This Link could help them make quick money; by changing titles just once to include ‘Xingpai Fishing Gear,’ how soon could they get it searched?
Shi Tian didn’t understand much about online stores but had inherited some marketing skills from Yun Wan'er; he knew a bit about how things worked. As long as they waited for those keywords to come through, he could make things happen!
Changing keywords usually took about an hour for results; if it was just for quick cash, they might as well create a new Link instead of wasting time on this one. A single keyword Link required seven to fifteen days of nurturing—changing this keyword Link would take too long!
Old Lin’s reminder sparked an idea in Shi Tian’s mind: why bother trying to manipulate this Link? They could simply switch to a new one!
“Yes! Let’s create a new Link with ‘Xingpai Fishing Gear’ as a keyword! Don’t forget to make an anti-counterfeiting tutorial for scanning codes! Set Hook pricing at $8.88! Once we’re done with that and have made a few sales, let me know when those keywords come through!”
After finishing up with Old Lin, Shi Tian immediately grabbed the computer he had bought but never used and began researching Dog Dong and Black Cat. He wanted to register a store for both Dog Dong and Black Cat.
If he wanted to make Xingpai Fishing Gear a hit, he needed to come up with some clever strategies. Accumulating a good reputation bit by bit? That wouldn't work; competitors would crush him before he even had a chance to shine!
Registering for Dog Dong and Black Cat was a bit more complicated than for regular stores, but it wasn't too troublesome for Shi Tian. The hassle lay in the various licenses, which he had all ready from when the Air Force provided him with those documents.
He submitted the necessary materials, and within three days, the review was completed. Once approved, he paid a hundred thousand as a security deposit, and just like that, a flagship store was opened!
The store was set up first; this online shop was just for fun. Shi Tian estimated that it wouldn’t last more than a month before he got bored and moved on to Dog Dong Black Cat, where the real battlefield awaited him!
He had five storefronts; one was turned into a Fishing Tackle Shop, while the two in the middle were for Li Ziyu—one became a milk tea shop and the other transformed into a Coffee Shop, giving it an artistic vibe.
The last two storefronts were tidied up by Shi Chui. The two downstairs were kept by Shi Tian for shipping purposes, while the two upstairs included one for Old Lin's residence, as per his request, allowing him to quickly run over and cast a couple of lines whenever he wanted.
The other upstairs space was designated as the office area for the online store, currently occupied by just three customer service representatives, making it feel quite empty.
After finishing up with the store matters, Shi Tian had to rush back to prepare fish for Yun Wan'er and Li Ziyu and help Li Ziyu catch some fish. His schedule was indeed quite packed!
