I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 291: The Expanding Market

As time passed, Qin Yun continued promoting the hot pot seasoning!

Li Xuan is a fan of Celestial Fortune and has great admiration for Qin Yun, even changing her Douyin name to "Empress of Qin Yun’s Harem."

"It’s almost July, I wonder what new styles Celestial Fortune will release?"

Li Xuan thought to herself while scrolling through Douyin videos.

She had been shopping at the Celestial Fortune clothing store since it was first established, and under her watch, Celestial Fortune grew bigger and bigger. When it was revealed that the owner of Celestial Fortune was Qin Yun, she became a die-hard fan after seeing his appearance.

"Eh? Celestial Fortune’s official website released a new video?"

Suddenly she noticed a notification and clicked on it without hesitation.

The video showed a bubbling hot pot with bright red broth, looking extremely tempting.

The video was also accompanied by some copy.

"President Qin said it’s nice to eat hot pot in the summer, and having Qingwu hot pot base at home tastes even better..."

Some information appeared, catching Li Xuan’s attention.

She was someone who really enjoyed hot pot.

Watching the bubbling broth, she couldn’t help but swallow.

"Celestial Fortune hot pot base? Did Celestial Fortune develop this? Aren’t they only selling clothing?" Li Xuan murmured to herself.

"Huh, there’s a link here?"

After finishing the video, Li Xuan saw a link. When she clicked it, it led to the hot pot seasoning purchase page.

Without hesitation, Li Xuan clicked to buy three packs, planning to try the taste.

The hot pot base shipped quickly, and since she was also in Jinling, she received it in less than a day.

In the evening when she was eating, Li Xuan specially used half a pack.

"Hey, Li Xuan, are you making hot pot?"

Li Xuan lived with others in this rented house, but today she had the day off while her roommate worked.

Her roommate walked over and curiously asked.

"Yes, Zhang Yue, come and taste it," she invited with a smile.

"Then I won’t be polite." Zhang Yue chuckled, pulled up a chair, and sat right next to Li Xuan.

Tasting a bite, Zhang Yue’s eyes lit up, "Hmm, this tastes good."

"Of course!" Li Xuan replied smugly.

In fact, she had already tasted it earlier.

"Li Xuan, where did you buy this? I’ve bought hot pot bases before, but they tasted slightly different," Zhang Yue quickly asked.

"This is from the Celestial Fortune brand," Li Xuan explained.

She proudly introduced it to her roommate.

...

Zhang Yan is a student at Jiangyuan University in Jinling City, but hails from Zhe Province.

During the summer vacation, she finally returned home.

"Yan is back!"

As she arrived home, her family came to greet her.

"Sis, what goodies did you bring back?" Her younger sister, who is only in middle school, asked with bright, curious eyes as she rummaged through what Zhang Yan had brought back.

"Huh, what’s this? Hot pot seasoning? Sis, why did you bring this back?"

Zhang Yan’s sister asked curiously, holding a pack of seasoning.

Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang also took a look, then Mrs. Zhang said, "Yan, don’t we have hot pot seasoning at home? Why did you buy it from Jinling? Isn’t it a waste of money?"

"Mom, I didn’t buy this; it was given out at school," Zhang Yan replied with a smile.

"Why would your school give this out?" Father Zhang asked curiously.

Zhang Yan giggled and said, "Didn’t I mention before that our school has an alumnus who started their own company."

Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang nodded, remembering their daughter’s earlier words, their eyes filled with amazement, scarcely believing what they had heard.

A freshman the same age as their daughter, starting from scratch, achieved such success, with a monthly income reaching tens of millions!

It was truly astonishing!

Their lifetime of savings was far less than what Qin Yun earned in a month.

"This hot pot base was produced at the factory owned by that alumnus. For promotion, every Jiangyuan University student received a free pack,"

Zhang Yan said with a smile.

She felt a sense of pride as she spoke about such an impressive figure emerging from her school.

Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang nodded as they finally understood.

Father Zhang marveled, "This Qin Yun is really capable!"

At that moment, Zhang Yan’s sister’s eyes shifted, and she said with a grin, "Dad, Mom, since sis brought back hot pot seasoning, why don’t we have hot pot tonight?"

"What? You got heat rash just a couple of days ago!" Mrs. Zhang scolded her younger daughter.

However, in the end, Zhang Yan’s family decided to give it a try that night.

"Hmm, this hot pot base is quite good, better than the few packs I bought."

"Once we’ve used it up, let’s buy a few more packs as backup."

After tasting it, both Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were impressed.

...

There are many fans like Li Xuan who follow Celestial Fortune’s Douyin account, and many Jiangyuan University students like Zhang Yan, as well as Celestial Fortune employees.

They took the Celestial Fortune hot pot seasoning home, giving many people a chance to encounter this brand.

Compared to other newly developed products which struggle greatly when entering the market, Celestial Fortune faced much less resistance, partly because Qin Yun was generous and gave out samples for free.

Many startups wouldn’t dare to do this; even if they did, they wouldn’t give away tens of thousands of packs so freely.

While it required some expenditure, the results were quite apparent.

At the factory, a middle-aged man in his forties approached—this was Sun Guotao, the manager of the Celestial Fortune Hot Pot Base Factory.

"President Qin," Sun Guotao quickly came over when he saw Qin Yun arrive.

"How’s it going?"

Qin Yun asked.

Sun Guotao excitedly replied, "President Qin, in just these few days, we’ve sold 290 packs of hot pot seasoning online!"

This number isn’t particularly high, especially compared to the tens of thousands of packs Qin Yun distributed.

But it’s only the beginning, just a few days have passed, and most of the samples haven’t been tasted yet.

In fact, Yu Leyao is truly talented in cooking; even Qin Yun wouldn’t choose any hot pot base over the one developed by Yu Leyao after trying it.

So, he specifically built a factory for it.

If the taste wasn’t superior, he wouldn’t have confidently and generously distributed the product.

Looking at one area in the factory, he saw several people packaging, clearly indicating more orders had come in.

"How’s the negotiation with the supermarkets going?"

Qin Yun asked.

For hot pot seasoning, Qin Yun did not plan to open his own stores, so he had to collaborate with supermarkets.

Sun Guotao shook his head and said, "So far, seven supermarkets are willing to stock our hot pot seasoning, ordering a total of 300 packs."
