Chapter 54 Preparing for Cat Winter
In fact, Li Xiang's commission is still small.
The commission ratio for coffee live streaming is usually between 20% and 40%. The specific ratio may vary depending on the brand, the influence of the anchor and the terms of cooperation. For example, the commission requirements for domestic brands usually start at 40%, while the commission requirements for foreign brands start at 20%.
Because the cost of domestic production is lower, of course, the price is also relatively cheaper.
Li Xiang has just started, and he cannot take 70 to 80% commission like some black-hearted anchors. For example, a certain person once sold an eyebrow pencil. For every 79 yuan eyebrow pencil sold, Earning 63 yuan, I still think the buyers are not working hard enough. I need to reflect on the fact that my salary has not increased for so many years.
Many times, it's not that everyone doesn't work hard enough, but the problem of the platform and environment. It is a social problem, not an individual problem.
People control you tightly. No matter how much you can earn or spend, you will be dead long ago. No matter how hard you try, without special opportunities or help from noble people, it is basically impossible to break through the bottleneck.
Big data, macroeconomics, control, harvesting, profound knowledge.
Coffee itself is a high-profit product. Since He Zhixiang is the first brand owner, he also enjoys profit margins. Compared with coffee of similar quality on the market, his products are reasonably priced and high quality.
Even so, since the estate sells directly, there are not so many middlemen making a profit on the price difference, so if Li Xiang takes 25%, He Zhixiang can still make a lot of money.
He Zhixiang was very happy. The money was credited to his account after the live broadcast, including previous advertising fees and appearance fees.
Li Xiang felt that the cooperation was quite pleasant. Before leaving, He Zhixiang came to see him off, asked the driver to help carry his luggage, and drove Li Xiang directly home.
The resort hotel is located halfway up the mountain. Standing on the balcony, you can see coffee trees all over the mountain. Li Xiang felt that He Zhixiang was a good person, so he couldn't help but ask: "Are your coffee trees resistant to cold?"
He Zhixiang was stunned, nodded and said: "It's not bad, it's no problem to resist one or two degrees of zero."
Li Xiang looked at the horizon, pondered for three seconds, and reminded: "This winter may be different. I have a feeling that there will be a super heavy snow, and the temperature may drop to minus ten degrees. You need to prepare your coffee trees for cold protection." .”
Coffee trees are actually tropical plants, and the average temperature they are most suitable for growing is around 20 degrees Celsius. Although they have a certain degree of cold tolerance, they are really not resistant to freezing. If the coffee trees are damaged or frozen to death, next year's harvest will naturally suffer. It is not easy to grow a coffee tree. It takes about 3-5 years from planting to fruiting.
"Is it true?" He Zhixiang's eyes widened, a little unbelievable. Although he trusted Li Xiang very much, he still felt that Li Xiang was talking nonsense. He couldn't help but pointed his finger and retorted, "Brother, you know we save Kapok? Well, it’s just a touch of red over there.”
In the corner of the hotel, a piece of kapok has been planted. It is blooming in colorful colors, bright and enchanting, like a cloud of fire.
Seeing Li Xiang nodding, He Zhixiang continued to introduce: "In other places, kapok may bloom from March to May. Here we are like spring all year round. Kapok blooms in November, and the flowering period can last until next year. In March, you said that there will be super heavy snow in such a warm place, and it will be more than ten degrees below zero? It’s not that I don’t believe you, buddy, how can you believe it?”
"Alas~" Li Xiang sighed softly and smiled, "Just think I'm joking."
He had predicted it, but no one believed it.
He had also thought about warning the government or the military to prepare in advance, but it was obvious that the time had not come. Let alone mentioning the end of the world, even if you mention this heavy snowfall, no one would believe it.
"I'm leaving. Please contact me if you have anything to do in the future. This cooperation is very pleasant!" Li Xiang shook hands with the other party.
"Well, it's a pleasure to cooperate, and the future is bright. We will be good brothers from now on." He Zhixiang shook hands and hugged Li Xiang. He felt Li Xiang's strong muscles and was filled with envy. He felt that it was time for him to get fit. This fat body, not to mention many indicators exceeding the standard during the physical examination, also affected his image. Even though, at his stage, he was not a rich man, he still had no shortage of beauties.
……
After Li Xiang returned home, he rested for a night, and the next day he rode a three-bengzi to the county town to purchase supplies to prepare for the cat winter.
When he came to the vegetable market, he passed by stalls selling live chickens, ducks and geese, and scanned them with the "mutated organism identification function". It turned out that none of them had extraordinary potential. Wait until you have time to go to the zoo or pet market.
In fact, he felt that there were the most "potentially mutated creatures" in the wild, but unfortunately the animals were very vigilant and did not give him a chance to get close.
I was thinking that maybe the aura on my body is too strong now, so I can exchange it for a method to cover the aura, which will also make it easier to "walk in the world" in the future.
Li Xiang bought fifty kilograms of pork, including pork shoulder, pork loin, and pork belly. They were all good cuts and very fresh. The boss said they were freshly killed this morning. There were also twenty kilograms of ribs and twenty kilograms of beef. Six pork knuckles, as well as some seasonings, bean paste, oil, vinegar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, marinade packets, etc.
As for garlic, coriander, chili peppers, and chili sauce, you have plenty of them at home, so there’s no need to buy them.
I bought 50 bags of salt packed in 500g bags. The boss thought there was going to be a banquet at his home.
Then there are thirty pounds of soybeans and five pounds of plaster of paris powder.

He plans to make tofu at home. On a snowy day, stew a pot of pickles, roll tofu, and add some meatballs, cabbage, vermicelli, etc. How delicious it will be.
The gypsum powder he bought was not industrial gypsum, but edible gypsum that was labeled as a food additive and complied with the national standard GB1886.6. The ingredient was calcium sulfate.
Tofu is divided into two schools: north and south. The difference between north and south is not the region, but the production process.
The one made with edible gypsum is southern tofu, and the one made with brine is northern tofu. There is also a kind of lactone tofu, which is a production method introduced from childhood, using β-gluconolactone as a coagulant.
The tastes of these types of tofu are naturally very different. Among them, southern tofu is Li Xiang's favorite. Because southern tofu is more tender and white, while northern tofu is relatively rough and hard in texture.
Grandma is old and did not plant soybeans this year, so there are none at home. Li Xiang will plant some next year. Soybeans fix nitrogen and are good for the earth.
Legumes, especially soybeans, work with symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in their roots to convert nitrogen from the air into nitrogen that the plants can absorb. This process not only provides sufficient nutrients for the soybeans themselves, but also "stores" nitrogen in the soil for other plants to absorb and utilize, thus improving the fertility of the land.
Simply put, growing soybeans is equivalent to automatically applying nitrogen fertilizer to the land.
