【FULL】Something Just Like This EP01 | 青春创世纪 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available] Babes, you guys are super punctual. Our live stream will only start after ten minutes. The room is a bit cold today. I’ll wear a denim jacket first. I’ll put it on. Of course I’m a person who keeps my promises. Today, the top 15 babes
Will get a red envelope coupon worth 15 yuan. [Yeah, only 15 people.] [Only 15 people!] [So, you have to hurry.] [If you didn’t get] [the red envelope coupon, that’s okay.] [Because in today’s live stream,] [I’ve prepared a lot of] [surprises for you.] Ran Ran, come here. I’ve something to tell you. Okay.
My throat is better now. I have you who cared about me when I’m busy working, I’m so blessed. I show you my heart. How’s the UK? It’s kind of underwhelming. But the UK economy is not so good now. It’s far worse than China. China is good now. Since China is so good,
Stay here from now on. Tell me about your specific plans in the future. In the future? I’m going to relax and scout around. See if there’s any suitable business opportunity. Do you want to… Please spare me, Father. I won’t go to QE. The streamer’s outfit looks nice?
[Xi Xi is not working in QE anymore.] [I don’t want to be involved in this sunset industry either.] [Xi Xi left QE] [because she wants to rely on herself] [and not us.] [She went to an e-commerce company] [to do live streaming.] I like it too.
That’s the new company which I invested in last year. [Rui Live] [Father, you invested in a live streaming company?] Mr Chen, please sign this. Your current investment foresight is very good. [Is it nice?] But there’s no link for this jacket today. The stock is running out, so there’s no link.
Didn’t you say Xi Xi doesn’t want to rely on you? That live streaming company is yours. She didn’t mention me at all when she went to the interview. She was hired because of her own ability. Do you really like it? Do we still have stock for this? It seems to be running out.
It’s running out? I remember we have stock. Go check the warehouse. Why are there two of the same outfit? Mr Chen. Yuan Yuan asked for your advice. See which one is better to stream first. I trust Yuan Yuan, ask her to choose. -It will be okay. -All right.
If this jacket is in stock, I’ll upload the link for you. But I want to remind you that the inventory is really low. If it’s in stock, you have to place the order quickly. Xi Xi’s live stream will start in ten minutes sharp! Amazing. You have an incredible foresight.
Of course I have to surprise them. Besides, this jacket’s inventory is low. If we promote it directly, where’s the surprise? And that sentence, “the streamer’s outfit looks nice”, was sent too early. She’s doing really well now. She’s a popular streamer and a director. She can be a popular streamer? You’re doing good today.
Why? Are you going to attack Yuan Yuan? It’s still early to surpass Yuan Yuan. This is just a small fight. You must be confident in yourself. I’m leaving now. Post the link halfway through the live stream. -Su Su. -Mr Chen. How is Xi Xi’s preparation? Buyers’ expectations are very high.
Expect a little upsurge today. Go to the control room and monitor it. Once the data comes in, push the product down the chain. -Okay, Mr Chen! -Same goes for the others. -Okay. -Whose clothes are these? It’s still here. Don’t keep mentioning Xi Xi. Why do you always compare me to her?
I also want to work hard and start my own career. Okay. I’m going to take a look. I’m going to get my feet wet. You should learn from others. Mr Chen. -Mr Duan Jr is here. -Why is he here? I saw him get on the elevator.
Give me the walkie-talkie. You get back to work. Okay. All departments get ready. We’re going live in five minutes. Today is the last day of the spring-summer special. I hope everyone will focus. It’s three hours of live streaming. Today’s the day we break two million. Everyone, if we break two million,
I’ll increase commission by one percent. Mr Duan Jr. Just call me Duan Ran. I’ll call you Mr Duan Jr. We’re too busy today. The last day of spring-summer special. I’m so busy. I can see that. I’ll show you around. -Okay. -This way please. It’s buzzing with activity. [We Are Young] [Episode 1]
Mr Duan Jr. Are you familiar with China’s live stream e-commerce industry? No. My father said China’s e-commerce market is doing well. I’m here to experience it myself. When the company was founded in 2016, no one was optimistic about live stream e-commerce. All thanks to Mr Duan. Check out the company’s decor
And the art pieces. It’s all from Mr Duan. QE is a big company after all, it’s different. My father values design greatly. He has an eye for aesthetics. Mr Chen, the opening survey just came in. I’ll get back to work. Feel free to look around. Yes, I just said the specific size measurement.
Look at the link. Babes, latest news! This denim jacket that you love so much, there’s still limited stock left. [There are 50 pieces each for S and M sizes.] [Only 50 pieces.] [L Size is even fewer.] [How many pieces are there for L size?] [It’s this jacket.] [It looks nice on me too.]
[It’s super nice, right?] -[Only 30 pieces left.] -[Hurry up and place your order!] The smooth-talking saleswoman Qian Xi Xi is doing live streams now? Stop joking. She’s like your sister. You don’t know what’s going on? She was going to be promoted to floor manager back then. But she decided to work here instead.
I gave them a target of two million today. Xi Xi is doing well today. There should be no problem. [Sometimes, we wear a T-shirt] [with a skirt or a pair of shorts.] Sometimes, when the T-shirt is tucked in, the body might get exposed… Mr Duan Jr. Don’t underestimate these salespeople.
The company now has a total of 52 streamers. They are influencers and models. But more than half of them are top salespeople or sales manager I’ve poached from big companies. They bring presentation skills and experience. They’re easy-going and hardworking. People like Qian Xi Xi also count as easy-going?
I’d say she’s the hardworking type. Pair this shirt with small boots to make your outfit pop. Sometimes, you can even match it with a pair of white sport shoes or a pair of high heels. It’ll make you… We only made it this far because of one philosophy. Seize the opportunity.
We must seize every opportunity we get. You can pair it with any kind of shoes. Xi Xi has explained it clearly. This makes sense. Live stream platforms have really caught on in this age of internet. Plus the resource from QE, of course it’ll be successful. Xi Xi broke the record.
Come and take a look! Xi Xi broke the record. Hurry! You can use it on any occasion. Look, Xi Xi is killing it. I posted that comment. Amazing. What’s that? Xi Xi has broken her own record. She broke 50,000 in 30 minutes. [Hurry up.] You guys are wrong. This isn’t your
Ordinary T-shirt and white half-skirt. I’ll show you in detail. Do you see it? She’s quite impressive. Not only does Xi Xi excel in live streams, she’s also good in planning and negotiation as well. Of course, it’s rumple-free. Look. I’ll jump and turn around. As you can see, this skirt
Won’t rumple no matter what. At the rate she’s going today, her commission should be a few thousand yuan. Really? Su Su. Hurry up and post Xi Xi on the homepage. She’s quite impressive. [As I expected,] [on the first morning after I returned to China,] [I found Qian Xi Xi to be cocky.]
Duan Ran, wake up. What are you doing? Get up and help me find my clothes. Find what clothes? [Just because I studied abroad for three years,] [she started working and making money earlier than me.] Why did you put it in my closet? Don’t you have a closet?
Your closet has been empty since you went abroad. Why shouldn’t I use it? It’ll be wasted if I don’t use it. You use it because it’s empty? Ever heard of “the dove occupying the magpie’s nest”? Qian Xi Xi. I’m talking to you. [I suddenly realised that] [in my two years of absence,]
I’ll take this. [my room,] [closet,] [towel] [and even my parents] [were taken away by her.] Good morning. Uncle Duan, good morning. It’s still early. Why do you wake me up? [It seems this long, drawn-out war] [between us] [is about to get longer.] Wake up! -Hurry! -[The grudge between me and Xi Xi]
[started since childhood.] -Here, Uncle Duan. -[Xi Xi is fatherless since childhood.] There are eggs and meat. [When she was in primary school,] [her mother died in an accident.] [She became an orphan overnight and] -[captured my mother’s heart with tears.] -I want to eat fried vinegar pork.
-Okay, I’ll buy it this afternoon. -[Since then,] [Qian Xi Xi went from a neighbour] [to a regular member of our household.] Pay some attention to me, will you? I feel like I’m invisible. [My parents treat Xi Xi as my sister.] [They treat her better than me.] [But this girl is frugal.]
[Every month, she pays for] [utilities and food.] Can you stop bullying Xi Xi? [She became the textbook that my parents use] [to force me to get my act together.] Don’t keep mentioning Xi Xi. I studied abroad on a full scholarship. Sorry to keep you waiting. Does it look good? A sexy goddess.
Whether you’re on a date… A dress. Surpassed. Xi Xi’s record has been surpassed. By whom? Yuan Yuan. She’s our top salesperson. She graduated from acting school. She’s an ex-actress. She’s a former entertainment broadcaster. Now, she’s here to be an e-commerce streamer. So this is your cash cow. This is called mutual achievement.
Let’s go. Come to my office and we’ll talk. What do you want to drink? How about whisky? I’m not drinking, I need to drive. Have a seat. Pour me a glass of water. The live stream e-commerce industry was a wasteland prior to 2015. In 2016, it became a street stall.
In 2017, it became a wet market. And in 2018, it finally became the real deal. A towering industry. There are many people who make money from this industry. Also, many young girls nowadays are obsessed about becoming a streamer. The decoration in your office is quite good. It’s not bad. Mr Chen.
I’m streaming half-day today. My friend got me an appointment with Mr Wu from Pineapple. I’ll go negotiate with him again. Thank you. I’ll get going. Okay. Why are you here? Is this the way to talk to your brother? I’m talking nicely. Are you going out? In a minute.
Okay, I’ll give you a ride. We’ll leave now. Where are you going? An appointment. Qian Xi Xi, you’re so cocky now. I’m talking to you. You wouldn’t answer my calls. You ignored me. Great. Now my whole mouth is red. Can’t you see I’m busy? I’ve been busy trying to figure out
How to sell that denim skirt all day. I didn’t have the time to check my phone. Fine. Let’s have lunch. You didn’t celebrate my return. I did. Didn’t we celebrate it yesterday? I don’t have time. What about dinner? Dinner? I’ll take a rain check. I need to see a client this afternoon.
I went there twice. But they ignored me. I don’t know what will happen this time. I’ll go this afternoon. Don’t touch my hair, I just did it. Can’t you see? I’m not like you, loafing around every day. I’m so busy. Why are you so busy? Where are you going? To change my clothes.
Is it so hard to see you? I’m busy with streaming. Streaming? I’m talking to you, can you stop? Are we having lunch or not? Don’t pull my hair. Let go. Don’t pinch me. Have lunch with me, will you? I told you, I don’t have the time. I have something to do at noon.
Me and Jia Yun are going to meet a client. You still need to eat. Is eating more important than business? What? Let me drive. You sit in the passenger’s seat. Are you for real? Darn it. Duan Ran. I can see it. You’re not here to have lunch with me.
Are you here for this car? Do I need to do that? This car can’t be touched by others, but I don’t feel bad if my sister drives it. Actually, I came to your company to see what my sister does when I’m not around. I’m worried you might get cheated. I’m worried about you.
If I were ever bullied, it’d be by you. Come on, I’m in a hurry. Look what you did. Hurry. Let’s go. To escort and protect. Don’t put things here. What’s the matter now? How unnecessary. I suddenly remembered something. Why did you sit on Chen Lang’s chair? He asked me to have a seat.
That was the closest chair. Well, I have news for you. He may have let you sit on it and didn’t say anything, but he’s probably scolded you a hundred times in his heart. Let him be. Duan Ran. Why are you here today? Someone said you’re replacing Chen Lang.
I have to tell you this. This company is huge. You can’t manage it. And I finally found a job that I really like. Please don’t mess up our company, okay? I don’t care about your small company. What do you sell? It’s only clothes costing tens of yuan.
Even the most expensive ones are less than 200 yuan. Your small commodity wholesale market… Low-price and high-volume sales. That’s how live streaming companies are. This is the sales strategy of live streaming companies. We’re going to negotiate the new season special with Pineapple Xpress as well as a collaboration with Nishiyama Yohji.
Have you closed the deal? No. Why are you boasting to me if the deal is not closed yet? I’m going to negotiate with the boss now. If I’m the boss, I wouldn’t cooperate with you. It’d only lower my brand’s value. Just stick to your low price, high volume strategy. You’re not the boss.
You just don’t get it. -Yes. -Are you biting your lip? Stop hitting me! Why is he here today? Did Duan Sheng Yun receive any tips? That’s impossible, Mr Chen. Our plan is foolproof. I chatted with him just now. Guess what he said to me. What?
He said he didn’t want to go to QE at all. And he came here to take a look-see. He doesn’t want to go to QE. He wants to come here. There must be a deeper meaning to him sitting in your chair. But he didn’t seem to have any motive today. I think
He’s here to see Qian Xi Xi. They don’t look like siblings. They look like a couple. I’m not interested about their relationship. I’m just thinking what Mr Duan and Mr Duan Jr are up to. Listen. If you can’t add value to their brand, then in their view, you’re lowering their brand value, understand?
Duan Ran, stop arguing with me. Anyway, I’ll close a deal with Pineapple later. All the best to you. I’ll do my best. Get off. The car keys, please. How am I supposed to go back? By taxi. I have something else on later. Why don’t you ever feel sorry for me?
You don’t know how to feel sorry for me. You did well today. Thanks for sending me over. Get off now. I’ll clean it up for you. What for? It’s clean. Duan Ran, hurry up. Hurry, I… The one you took is the spare key. The master key is with me. Happy negotiating.
From now on, I’ll retain the right to use this baby. Goodbye. Duan Ran! Get off! You liar! You liar of the century! You said the car is for me! Why are you so petty? Xi Xi. I’m furious! -Who’s that? -Duan Ran! Listen.
He pretended to go to the office and asked me out for lunch. I was wondering why he was so nice to me. See? He’s here for the car. Isn’t that infuriating? Why do you guys quarrel whenever you meet? Why did you expect? What’s so special about me and him?
Thanks again for setting me up with Mr Wu. You’re welcome, Mr Wu is our regular client. But this is the third time you’re meeting him. Are you confident? I have to be confident. I made a bet with Duan Ran. Mr Wu, please wait. Qian Xi Xi, why is it you again?
I didn’t expect you to remember my name. I’m so happy. Qian Xi Xi, I’ve told you many times. I’m not interested in your live streams. Don’t look for me anymore. I… Jia Yun. How many times have you been to the company? It’s a pity that you’re not doing sales. No, Mr Wu.
I’m thinking about you. Live streaming e-commerce is popular nowadays. We should keep up with the trend. Mr Wu. The live streaming e-commerce industry really took off in recent years. If you have time, I can explain it to you. After I’m finished, you’ll understand why we are unstoppable. It’s useless even if you’re unstoppable.
At present, people have a bad impression of live streaming. It lacks value. Besides, Pineapple has been the youngest and most active online brand in China for the past two years. Tell me. What benefits can you bring me? What’s the value? The value? Greatly increase your internet traffic, brand value -and sales. -Greatly increase?
How great? It’s just great. Extremely great. Super great. We’ll call you. Not again. Good. You mentioned increasing sales. There is a chance. [Paragon Center] My dear. Can you stop? If Pineapple rejects you, I’ll find another client for you, okay? Now there are more and more live streaming e-commerce platforms.
We can’t just rely on price wars and sell low-end goods. This is not a long-term solution. We must rely on the brand support. Okay. My dear, you can save those words for your company. I’m curious about Duan Ran’s return to China. Tell me. What did he say to you after he came back?
I want this pink cake. Me too. What did he say? Duan Ran? Yesterday, at four o’clock, Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Duan Ran’s first sentence to me was, “Qian Xi Xi, you’re fat.” His second sentence was, “Qian Xi Xi, you’re as fat as a pig.” That’s it. No way. What else? That’s all.
That’s how Duan Ran and I are. We have nothing to talk about. Qian Xi Xi, can you honestly say you and Duan Ran are just siblings? We’re siblings. Hello, here’s your cake. Our cake? Have you scanned it? Thanks. Done. Wait for me! Why do you think we’re not siblings? See?
The more you deny it, the more guilty you are. Do you get commission if we got together? Sister. Are you just going to sit there and eat cake while I toil away for you? We had a deal. I take you to see Mr Wu, you work for me. Don’t interrupt, where was I?
Why can’t you and him be together? It’s simple. Not only are we incompatible, Mr Duan and Mrs Duan have always regarded me as Duan Ran’s sister. Even if I like Duan Ran… I’m saying if. All these years, I’ve been eating their food and staying in their house.
If I take their only son too, what kind of person would I be? A dove that occupies some magpie’s nest? Miss. Don’t think too much. Miss, it’s you who think too much. Don’t ever think about it again. No commission for you. Here. Is it nice? Look, your Chen Lang.
Is he here for you? Is this easy to fix? We can handle it if the paint is intact. Fix it. Help me to fix it. Check if there are any other problems. Okay. Remove all these ornaments. Clean the double-sided tape stain. There’s a weird stain on the front passenger’s seat.
-Clean it up for me. -Okay. -Change out the air conditioner filter. -Okay. The car smells. Is there enough money in my card? It may not be enough. Not enough? Top up the card for me. I’m sorry, the credit card machine is unavailable today. Please use WeChat Pay. I can’t pay with WeChat.
We accept Alipay as well. Forget it, I’ll just transfer directly to your boss. You get back to work. Which floor is he going to? What are you doing? What are you doing? Who are you trying to catch? Why do you follow me? Who’s following you? Who are you trying to catch?
That’s none of your business. Why did you appear at this time? When should I appear then? You shouldn’t appear. Don’t you want to go racing? Just go. You have the gall to talk about cars? Funny you should mention cars. Did you know you’ve ruined my car? I hit your car,
But I’m too busy to fix it. At first, I wanted to fix it before returning it to you tomorrow. That won’t be necessary. I’ve fixed it. Thanks. I’ll transfer the money to you. Did I ask for money? Are you trying to show off the fact that you’re making money? No, I’m not.
Don’t want it? Fine. [Value] -What are you looking at? -Value? What did you see? You haven’t closed the deal with Pineapple, right? Do you know what value is? I’ll tell you what value is. Forget about work. Let’s have lunch. No. Tell me what value is first and I’ll have lunch with you.
It’s a small matter. Value is the return on investment. Ordinary people look at the quality-price ratio when buying things. For companies like Pineapple Xpress, they look at ROI. There’s a tool for calculating ROI, it’s called a value proposal. And? And I’m hungry. Come on. Don’t be hungry.
-Don’t make me starve. -Don’t be hungry. Let’s go eat. -Hurry. -Tell me over lunch, okay? No problem. Let’s go. Mobile payment is so popular in China right now. Don’t you know? [Paragon Center] Mr Shen. What’s your impression of Duan Ran? Not bad. I think he can do great things,
But he’s a little impatient. But if I were him, I’d be impatient too. Aren’t young people always impatient? It’s true. Mr Shen, I’ll be straightforward. Do you think Mr Duan will arrange for Duan Ran to work at my company? I knew you would ask me that.
Mr Duan does want Duan Ran to go to QE, but youngsters always have their own ideas. If Duan Ran wants to work at your company, Mr Duan wouldn’t object. Pineapple’s investment portfolio is huge. Duan Ran. Come here and take a look. I did a calculation using the ROI formula you gave me.
See if it’s correct. [Pineapple Xpress’ clothing sales chart] Correct. You know, I did a little counting. Our company has 52 virtual live stream rooms. Each room sells 1,000 pieces a day. One hundred yuan per piece. The gross profit for Pineapple Xpress is 30 percent! The value is 1.56 million.
This is just an estimation. It’s inaccurate. Tell me what’s accurate then. If you want to be more accurate, make a statistical analysis table based on its past sales. Only then can he see what kind of profit you can bring to him. Don’t make it that big. I just told you.
It’s too noisy, don’t disturb me. I’ll rush to Mr Wu’s office tomorrow. I’m not afraid of anything. Okay, don’t disturb me. Go. You throw me out after using me. Sales figure… Year 2018. Don’t make it too big. Silly. I’m so good at this. Venue fees. I can’t use so much equipment. Mr Wu!
Wait a minute. Don’t walk so fast. I want to report something to you. Mr Wu, didn’t you ask me how great it is? -I really figured it out. -Qian Xi Xi. I’ve made myself very clear yesterday. Do you still not get it? I’m going to a meeting now. Mr Wu.
Let’s begin our meeting. I think your logo is too big and too pink. I don’t think it’s innovative enough. Drink more. It does wonders for your circulation. Father, Uncle Shen. Ran Ran, you’re back from the UK. My mother made soup. She asked me to bring it here. Uncle Shen, try some.
Did you just wake up? Why are you dressed like that? Are you treating my company as your home? I’m just here to deliver the soup. I’ll be gone in a minute. Change your clothes and come back. Let Uncle Shen show you around. No need to. I’ve known this building for ten years.
I’m more familiar than you, don’t you know? I’ll go back now. Goodbye, Uncle Shen. This brat never gets serious. Yesterday, Chen Lang asked me about your plans for Ran Ran. What did you say? I told him the truth. I asked Duan Ran about his thoughts on Rui. He’s not even interested in QE.
Let alone Chen Lang’s company. It’s normal for youngsters. You were like this when you were young. Ran Ran is in his prime and is high-spirited. You should let him forge his own path for a few years. Mr Wu. Is the meeting over? Not yet.
It’s okay, Mr Wu, just give me a few minutes. I’ll explain it to you. I figured out the value of our collaboration. Let me go to the bathroom, okay? Mr Wu. I spent the whole night calculating the ROI. You just need to provide samples and an activity fee of 100,000 yuan.
Qian Xi Xi. I want to go to the bathroom. Mr Wu, sorry. Take your time. I came in just to tell you I’ve calculated the ROI. You only need to provide samples and an activity fee of 100,000 yuan. It’s expected to bring you 1.56 million in gross profit
And 5.2 million in sales revenue. A sales revenue of 5.2 million? Yes, 5.2 million. Are you sure? [Invest 100,000 yuan] [and make 1.56 million?] [How is this possible? What business is that?] [Don’t make it too big. Silly.] Are you sure? For every 10,000 yuan short,
I’ll clean the men’s room for a day. No caps. Would you put it down in the contract? Are you going to sign the deal? Can I use the bathroom now? Hello. Duan Ran, I’ve signed the contract. I’ll treat you to dinner as a token of gratitude. You choose the place.
[I choose the place?] [I’m afraid you can’t afford it.] I need to pay even if I can’t. Stop talking, come and pick me up. Who’s treating whom? It’s no trouble at all. When I opened the door, Mr Wu was shocked. That’s pretty awesome. Look at it. 5.2 million?
Qian Xi Xi, are you crazy? What are you thinking? What can I do? 1.5 million in gross profit. 5.2 million in sales. A company would be happy to have an ROI of three times a year. This is 15 times. How can you do it? You’re crazy.
I told you not to make it too big. You even signed a deal with him. You’re something else. Duan Ran. If I can’t do it, for every 10,000 yuan short, I’ll have to clean the men’s room for a day. Do your best. Do my best?
I may have to clean the men’s room for days. Perhaps you’ll be cleaning the bathroom for the rest of the year. What are you doing? Duan Ran. Don’t cry. Hold it back. You must help me. I can’t help you, the figure is too big. Don’t cry! Only you can help me.
What should I do? Why don’t you help me? Hold it back. 5.2 million. I can’t do it. Don’t cry. Xi Xi. Xi Xi. -I’m finished. -Xi Xi. Don’t talk to me. I’m too sad. Xi Xi. I’ll help you. Don’t cry, okay? Let’s drink. Duan Ran, you’re indeed my brother. Bottoms up. Let’s drink.
[She’s crazy.] [Qian Xi Xi has gone crazy.] [She signed an astronomical contract,] [yet she still jokes around without a care!] Cheers. [I felt obligated to stand up right there and then] [and scold her loudly.] [But then,] [she told me a lot about the live stream.]
[Actually, it’s not a problem at all for her company to achieve] [the agreed sales figures.] [I’ll just let her be.] [I found out that my sister has indeed grown up.] [I decided not to argue with her for the time being.] [So,] [our life is back to the way it was.]
Duan Ran, wake up. Wake up. Come on! [The familiar scenes.] The familiar smells. You want to see me use the bathroom? Come in then. [I thought I could use the opportunity] [to turn the tables against Qian Xi Xi.] [To recover lost territory] [and attempt a comeback.] [Also, to live a relaxing life.]
[But there’s one thing that I didn’t expect.] [Shapowei Art Zone, Art, Life, Live] [That night, I promised] [to help Qian Xi Xi] [and our lives were never the same again.] Why isn’t anyone at work? What’s happening? [Pineapple Xpress Special Live Stream Day] What’s going on? No one’s here. What’s the occasion?
Where is everyone?
