The live-streaming by New Oriental(新东方直播)is very popular now. You can learn English and shop online at the same time.
Dong Yuhui, one of the teachers at New Oriental, became a famous star on Douyin. There were about 108, 000 people in the online studio(工作室)on Friday, with sales hitting(销售额达)15.34 million yuan. Such a way of teaching English and selling things at the same time made young people show great interest in it. For example, when Dong sold rice, he also introduced the English word “rice”, and how to use “rice” in a phrase or a sentence. In this way, Dong sold more than 6,700 bags of rice in just a few minutes. Many people left messages in the comment section(评论区留言), saying it seemed to send them back to class at New Oriental.
Yu Minhong, the company’s leader(领导), also showed in the studio, selling things with the teachers or hosts(主持人). So far, the studio has had about 2. 5 million followers. On the evening of December 28, 2021, Yu just had the first live streaming of agricultural products(农产品)on Douyin. But it set his studio “on fire” in less than a week. Yu talked about selling products in two languages, and he said this was a very important change for New Oriental.
“They have changed from being teachers to being live-streaming hosts.” Yu said.
