Young And Boss: 16-year-old Entrepreneurs Of Slime & Sneakers | On The Red Dot | Full Episode

- Two 16-year-olds are turning social media trends into profitable businesses for themselves. Ang Jia Xin has been selling her own brand of homemade slime since she was 14. Better known as Bobbasliime to her 29,000 followers on Instagram, Jia Xin must rely on her unflagging spirit to literally churn out and sell 1000 tubs of slime each month. Remus Er buys limited edition sneakers with the help of some nifty bots and flips them for a $20K to $30K profit on a good month. But with O-Levels looming and a global pandemic affecting sales, how will the two young entrepreneurs overcome the challenges of running their own business, juggle the stress of school exams and find the time to just be teenagers?

The fact that she pointed out and featured other slime creators/sellers as well is so admirable, this girl is a gem.
Slime girl is more inspirational than sneaker reseller boy.
Ximon Whhatt omg soooo true
Ximon Whhatt the sneaker reselling boy is kinda disappointing...
Yeahhhh, especially with the whole "Sneakers give kids their identity, they just do whatever their favorite celebrity does". Like, that's a terrible message to send to your peers.
@@TheChickenRiceBowl i know, and the only he thing he does anyway is just buy sneakers and resell them for a overpriced price, only because some other children like them. really disappointing. but the slime is like running a whole business while having school stuff etc. stan slime girl
Really?
Can i just say the lady that sells slime, your handwriting is AWESOME.
Yepp
Omg yes
all for the entrepreneurship but these resellers using bots really spoil the sneakers game
Yea man
@@axmxrpwinx6402 more fun that way and share the cummulative disappointment and frustration with others as what ya'll wanted go out of stock
nice profile pic
Trueyy
@@yoboy69202 bots are used for buying high in demand products. Since they're bots, you can programme them to buy anything and any amount in a matter of seconds right after the product goes on sale.
Slime girl go for it! I
I bought 5 cucumber melon slime :)
Whatttt
lolololol slime girl
The Store that you saw with the slime is closing down
Cap
people of Singapore, please support slime girl and buy her stuff. It’s supporting her small business and I’m sure it won’t cost that much
don't worry I actually bought some of her slime and it's pretty good
my parents won't let me
using bots to buy limited edition stuff and reselling it is basically a ripoff
Surprising he agrees to be interviewed.
Agree. Scums spoiling the market.
Cant fight them join them
@@YewRisistible33 yes sadly
supply and demand. if you feel like the price is unfair, then don't buy it.
I wonder how many kids would want to try eating the slime. lol
they know how it’s made it’s literally made with glue so i really doubt anyone even a 7 year old would be dumb enough to eat it lmao
@@tencanhaveallthestarsinthe6671 nah if they could eat tide pods they’ll definitely eat slime that looks like food
@@alenaplacide4679 I mean, did the kids really eat tide pods? I only saw teenagers eating them.
Not yummy
@@tencanhaveallthestarsinthe6671 when I was little there was slime that I was playing with then I just took a bite of it...I did not eat it because it tasted bad 😂idk why I did that
slime girl: really hustle with her business. she has demanding school and slime work. her business is about marketing and creativity. she pours her heart and soul into her business and products.
sneaker boy: in a competitive industry, but send horrible message especially about the identify and copy what the celebrity do. they literally just try to buy a shoe really competitively. his business depends on speed and demand.
so your telling me in grade obsessed Singapore he doesn't have demanding school work
@@alphadisastroustie8853 exactly, don’t be hard on the dude, he suffers too.
@@hari0794 ikr
Speed and demand = profits.
How is this a horrible message.
Funny how cna is glorifying sneaker reselling, especially when they do it with bots..
@HD VRSC V-Rod school is optional ? Which part of earth do you live in?!
@HD VRSC V-Rod school may be optional in some countries but its def not an option in SG 💀
is that bad LOL idk anything about sneakers
@@toestud3791 scalping doesn't only apply to sneakers, take for example, concert tickets.
Last year, BTS held a concert in SG and the most expensive tickets were around 300+, 200+? at retail price. But scalpers, they used bots to purchase many tickets and resold it for 12k, 11k
whats bots
Slime may be a short lived trend but sneakers....
Yay it's fun seeing you in the comments
lmao u again O.o
Can you nottt
@@thespiringtonwall1590 cAn yOu NoT
OMG YOU AGAINN
Slime went from barrel-o-slime to like dozens of varieties
ikr
Narrater: she has to sell 700 hundred slimes in the next week-
Me who already knows my friend who frequently buys slimes has already bought at least one of each slime from all the stores Jia Xin mentioned: *yeah I don't think that will be a challenge-*
ask her
16 year old girl= making slime buisness selling stuff
me= sits down plays games
You= need to learn english
business*
@@ztoollzl chill, English may not be their first language.
If you think about it, there could’ve been people saving and wanting those shoes so bad only to have them taken away by a reseller. It’s so annoying and sad. The girl makes her own slime and that’s awesome. Go girl! Don’t go shoe reseller!
Shoe resellers buy stuff that has high demand thus new things or shoe price suddenly dropping which has good demand and sell it for a lot more, if you save up for it the price probably was stable which means you would have enough money to buy the one the shoe reseller is selling as the price would be a bit more than the average price so you still could buy it, just find a person.
Resellers also sell shoes that are no longer being sold. If you are an active shoe collector, you will understand. Many shoe collectors buy from resellers or on Amazon.
The shoe reseller is more successful. He has a higher chance of living a better life than the girl. Get your logic straight.
His actual skill is tapping on add to cart button
Well I wish I would earn that much by just pressing buttons
If he’s consistent on buying shoe drops then he probably uses bots, so not even tapping add to cart
Ok and? He makes more money with little effort. Success like that leads to a much better life. The slime girl will eventually have to find another job because she wouldn’t make a lot of money.
@@imafkingbeastandrewtateise9563 just because can't make it doesn't mean she can't. She can expand it to other market or use her profits for other businesses
1:36 OK but like I'd pay you lots for that handwriting
Same 😭
I JUST SAW IS HER HANDWRITTING WTF
@@mochiiattoo IKRR
@@sophieting9595 IKRR
I THOUGHT IT WAS TYPED I-
Didn't know that flipper/scalper is considered as entrepreneur
Or In the olden Chinese days it is called 黄牛党
You gotta have that rich papa to help u start up the business
@@rinreborn7364 not really I used to resell sneakers first I sold some of my old ones then bought some with the money I had and sold it off for a profit
listen a flipper is a entrepreneur the girl is basically flipping two she is getting items and turning them into something else and selling them
@@alphadisastroustie8853 beg to disagree. The girl is creating her own brand and riding on her own brand awareness. At the same time she is transforming raw materials into a product. She did make a value add to the end product. This is not flipping or scalping.
On the other hand the guy is riding on some other brand’s brand awareness and publicity. Did not create anything himself nor value add the end product by any means. You can argue that Wall Street hedge fund traders are doing the same thing, and yes indeed they are. Neither did I say traders are good, they are the least contributive group of individuals to society, rips of the poor to profit the rich, even road sweepers contributes more to the society.
I used to be obsessed with slime back then but I had no idea people are still interested in it.
this is a year ago but i heard some therapist's use slime as a stress relief toy for their clients + its just a fun thing to play with
Lets show a guy who uses bots to get sneakers, nike is a site we have .... the acting is on another level ahaha
Why is the sneaker reselling boy featured in this episode, this is so toxic
Dude you should watch americans bot they have 20 pc setups
Yeah this might sound mean, but I was so happy when his bot was detected. Then it let him use it :(. Wasn’t happy anymore.
Nothing wrong with this. Stop being delusional. This is a world we live in. If you want to watch fake ass edited it videos go ahead. It’s called competition. It’s how you make money.
@@kennyma4904 still toxic nonetheless
wait why is it toxic
Next episode : 15 Year old entrepreneurs of relx and e cigarettes juice on telegram earns 50k a month illegally importing such items
Next next episode: 15 year old entrepreneurs make millions from sim swapping and hacking paypal accounts
Wdym?
Sneaker boy is on his way to become a gambler
It's not gambling. It's reselling
@Nosferatu Zodd ever heard of limited edition ? Really.. brain is not for decorating your head , it's for thinking
@Its Lvy
hun what’s the attitude for? you making yourself sound dumb asl
@Nosferatu Zodd the reason why Reselling extists it's because things are limited edition ! They aren't coming back again and collecters need to buy them from resellers.
@@aylin.3945 I am just explaining how reselling bussiness works -_-
Reseller is a nice alternative way to say Scalper. How to tell? If they are removed from the business chain, both parties will be better off. Scalpers do nothing to add value to the chain but just add unnecessary third party costs whlist reducing supply to actual demand.
I was watching this video with interest and intrigue....until the part where the boys were trying their hardest to wipe out Limited Eds with bots.
These young kido making $$$$$$ While I’m on my bed watching TH-cam 😂
slime girl:😄❤️💗💞✨🤗😍😘🌈
sneaker boy:🧐😬😟🤑😥😂
the slime girl: actually works hard for her buisness and sacrifices playdates with her friends but only gets 200-300 🥺
the sneaker boy: uses bots for profit and gets 2000+
me: oh is this tiktok?
He’s just working smart, not hard. Don’t blame him he’s just a better business person then
@@bykeppla exactly
What am I doing w/ my life 😭
Slime girl really out there hustling though fr
much respect for the slime girllll!!!! :) hope u gain more customers through this video !
Wow CNA actually showcasing the usage of sneaker site bots lmao 🤣
A lot of ppl (below 30) knows abt it, but, only a few bother to actually go and take the time to learn how do bots actually works, and how to use bots to basically help you earn extra income.
When jia Xin is your senior in secondary school🙊
@@ok-ym1qx girl
The slime girl seems like such a nice girl in general. Her handwriting is so freaking neat, and she’s studying so hard for her test while trying to keep her business alive. Working at such a young age and earning an average 4-5k a month! Her work is goals, and she’s making all these pretty and creative slimes. I would totally buy one but my parents won’t probably let me. And she makes all her slimes by herself by herself. That’s so freaking amazing!!! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
@@Emsyaz who doesn’t lmao
How is that keymaster not gambling?
And how is reselling it for a huge margin not scalping.
the boy just resells the girl makes her own products
Right
Nice. I see we're now celebrating a shameless cheat (using bots) involved in scummy ass scalping of true sneaker heads. Classy.
its so nice to see the slime girl focusing on her studies. her business wont be enough to support her all her life
why not? It can be a steppingstone and can expand. You are thinking like a consumer and not like a boss like her
Btw the key master machine isn’t a probability machine to test your luck, it’s a profitability machine. You just set how much money it needs to get before it drops the prize. It will always be in the owners favor.
This is true. Can't believe they're talking about this scammer in positive light.
If you wanted to start a business, first you need to have the skill set and knowledge regarding the thing you are trying to sell. Then the next most important step is to have your parent trust, if your parent don't even let you open your own bank account then there's no point on starting one.
And have money
What is your point?
Nothing, just sharing my own personal experience.
@@catstalker8218 ok
You can open a bank account without your parents knowing after your 16th birthday
both of them are so grateful and appreciative of their parents even though they earn so much. such good kids!! :))
slime: "stress relieving toy"
no. stress will not be old, so slime is not an old trend.
Sooo, lumping two contrasting examples, one genuine, the other dubious and illegal into a 23 minute video makes it ok? It's like lumping 1/3 Lee Kuan Yew life story exposition with 2/3 self-styled entrepreneur James Phang exposition together. At least Jia Xin's narrative has some substance (pun intended) and worthy to share with my youths. The sad crap is to crop this horribly edited video and pull out the good stuff.
I agree
How is it illegal?
wiping the website with bots is unfair and kind of illegal
@@WONGQIANXUN-bu8dg unfortunately the resellers and their parents think its ok. Doesn't matter, the market crashed anyways
Wow the sound of the slime is ahhhhh...... amazing
I mean the slime girl is prob gonna have a hard time selling it in the future
Why?
@@anastasya2446 bc when u hop on the trend train it's bound to stop but slime has been alive for a very long time
yeah she p much acknowledges it herself near the end lol, good on her for catching the trend for as long as she can
yeah but let just wish her all the best 🤞🏻
Yeah it will but she will probably go into business and be good at it
I really admire this video, amazing and smart young individuals. This has actually inspired me, and driven more ideas to me.
The way to promote small businesses is really good 👍
Wow.. Salute to these teenagers
WOW!! Well done kiddos. It is a great learning curve to help you as you mature. I would 100% support my children if they have these type of personality. These kids understand the supply and demand concept and not many teenagers understand that. Best of luck to both of you, and may you continue your success for a long life ahead.
Although it's great that they are starting businesses. The boy in particular isn't really doing things ethically.he is practicing something called scalping and reselling the products at a higher price. You are basically stealing from the business and its overall wrong. Not to mention he is using bots to get the products first and buy a abundant amount. The girl on the other hand I fully support.
If you have parents who can help you and you are young it is probably a great time to start a business.
I thought slime died a few years ago
ikr
the trend died, but the people who love it still exists
My friend's neices and nephews are never get tired doing and playing with slime. I think it just died in your place/country.
Slimes are annoying tbh waste of borex
@@sheshe9678 actually,I live in Singapore which is where this video is at 😅 maybe I just got older
Us=*play with it and luvs it -_-
All our parents and grands in Singapore 🇸🇬:AIYO SOO STICKY!! EEE!!
_WOW MANTUL SANGAT MENGINSPIRASI!!!_
👌🏻😊👍🏻
that one kid who sells slime on the playground :
them: Young and Boss
me: Old and Jobless
Fun fact Singapore police force watched this
How do you know this...?
Unless....
Impressive.. keep in up 💙
Wow the boy is on fire at business!
Slimes are making me uncomfortable. It's like continuously stretching out my insides, but not really... I don't know... I'd prefer loombands even though they're kinda outdated nowadays...
Nah for me it’s like gum when it loses it’s flavor, it’s fun for a little bit and feels uncomfortable later
@@lukasfotto328 Good point you got there...
Good job Remus ER
Wow very creative
The girls business is so aesthetic
WHAT THE HECK IS ME DOIN IN THIS LIFE
Thumbnail : I make slime for a living
Me: Me too girl, me too
I’m rooting for the girl
CNA forgot to mention that botting is technically illegal which is the same as scalping
Actually, what the boy does just make it harder for others to actually buy those actual shoes actually.
Such practices need to stop actually. I will actually feel very infuriated if every time when I need to get something, I need to actually get it from someone who actually hoards the products and resells them to me at higher prices just because he has some ways to purchase them ahead of me.
I actually agree with the other netizens that what this boy is actually doing is almost the same as those hoarding essentials during crunch time and reselling them. He calls it smart; I call it unscrupulous, actually.
I find the use of actually too excessive. I got a split headache listening to his "actually actually."
People who complain about not being able to get their items are just people who are incompetent. You can do what he does as well, but you chose not to. So why are you bitching about it?
@@lollipoppie7207 because scalping is just not right? Some of us have morals that others obviously don't
@@lollipoppie7207 Scalping is literally borderline illegal. It's just like people who buy the face masks excessively and sell it at a higher price?
19:15 "ah ,now it work"😂
3:00 not me suddenly saying I'm going to buy that things 😂😂😂
Wow I studied at GMSS and currently I am gg RMSS too. wow!! same!!
This video is basically about plugging their products
3:01 that photocard locker right there...i want
Omg she’s really pretty - I’ve only deal-ed with her online 🌚
for those who dont know getting bots for sneakers drops is illegal
I actually bought slime from her shop. I bought Nutella Icing. It was so glossy and had great crunches.
Their parents are so cool.
not wrong
Where to buy?
If we have lockers here in nz then I'd do the same.. I saw some kids selling it at the weekend market but so overpriced
The slime girl makes me inspired cuz I wanna make a slime shop.🙂👍
I respect the girl
My whole classroom last last year was full of slime even my teacher hahahhaa
salute to slime entrepreneurs
all my slimes: *smell like bubble tea*
me: *dang, where do I get this?*
Only true sneaker heads knows what the boy doing there is off. Using bots?! Smh
Watch the americans trying to get the 3000 series
The sneakers omg he’s probably a millionaire
Stan Bobba for clear skin~ ✨
Damn i want a converse chuck joyler high sneaker yes
What does she use as her activated for slime
Plz answer!!!!!
I'm gonna buy her slimes ^^
Bruhb, their parents be supportive ashell hahahaha and my parents is like.. mm
I love slime.
Are the number in usd or Singaporeans currency?
Do you sell the slime anywhere else than Nex?
How does the payment work for the cube shops that the slime was being sold in? Is there a cashier or is it based on honesty?
I love slime
3:01 ARE THOSE PHOTOCARDSSSS
