The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 233: It’s so sexy, can you bring some positive energy?

Jian Xi used to not believe in such a thing as "fate", but after traveling through time, he gradually began to believe in it. And the time when he was truly convinced that there was such a thing as "fate" must have been an accidental discovery in his previous life. Rather than using the word "fate", he felt that "coincidence" might be a more accurate description.

Especially today, when he casually walked into this KTV and saw Nan Xiang, the feeling of "coincidence" was so strong.

Of course, he doesn't go to KTV alone just because he's bored, although he usually does this kind of thing after traveling to a new world, mainly to observe the customs and habits of different eras!

But today, the dog man came here with a few friends to keep in touch with each other for business matters. It’s serious business!

Although we are friends, we have only known each other for a few days.

Jian Xi has also thought about it during this period. To meet the requirements of low cost, high return, and quick money making, the most important thing is an interesting project. In the past two years, there may be a track that is very suitable - the Internet celebrity economy.

It’s not that he has really lost his mind and wants to be an internet celebrity, but he has set his sights on this hen that lays golden eggs and is about to take off.

Well...from another perspective, he is just raising chickens in advance, which can be regarded as another kind of financial investment.

Jian Xi had thought about it before and felt that the time he came to this world was neither too early nor too late. If he had come a few years earlier, he would still have had the opportunity to repeat Huang Zhenhua's path. Although it was impossible for him to reach the upper limit at that time, it was still possible for him to drink some soup.

But now, we are on the eve of the next wave of Internet economy, and if we want to make money quickly, it is indeed a good idea.

The internet celebrity economy that he is targeting is currently in the 3.5 era.

The era of Internet celebrities 1.0 is an era of grassroots rise and the development of online literature. In the 64s, a K international dedicated line was connected, which opened up the Internet era in my country. After that, the rise of portal websites and forums made Internet celebrities appear among netizens who used text as a carrier...

The era of Internet celebrity 2.0 is the era when the culture of "aesthetics of ugliness" emerges and people become famous for their "personality". Because in the st century, network bandwidth has increased and the Internet has entered the picture era, which is even crazier than the first generation that was limited by broadband and could only output through text, and what followed was madness.

At that time, the "welfare girls" and "female bodhisattvas" were much more kind than the internet porn in later generations. That was real charity!
People are not after the money, they just like this thing, but this also reflects that netizens have a strong desire to express themselves. With so many netizens, it is difficult to stand out, so some donate their bodies, some show off their wealth, and some make fun of others... In short, reject mediocrity!
So there is a very popular saying in this era - without personality, you are not an internet celebrity.

By the time of Internet celebrity 3.0, people have basically figured out half of the Internet rules and started to use the celebrity effect. Of course, this is also because of the progress of the times. From traditional forums and blogs to Weibo, opinion leaders like "big Vs" have begun to be favored.

However, precisely because these so-called "big Vs" were too arrogant, supervision began to tighten. Overall, the embryonic form of the internet celebrity economy had already appeared at this time.

It is indeed just a prototype, because Jian Xi is very clear that no matter how popular these so-called "Internet celebrities" are, they are confused about the ultimate goal - monetization.

In 2014, the 3.0 era had not yet ended and the 4.0 era had not yet arrived.

After all, the 4G era had just begun, and it was not yet fully popularized. The internet celebrity economy was highly dependent on wireless communication technology, so this was indeed the darkness before dawn.

Next year or even the year after, the Internet celebrity 4.0 era will arrive, which is the IP era. It can be monetized, but only in the form of capital. It is still quite difficult for Internet celebrities to monetize like self-employed individuals like in the future.

Therefore, Jian Xi knew very well that he had never thought of cheating the poor because it took a long time, the money was not much, and the cost-effectiveness was low. If he wanted a high cost-effectiveness, of course he should cheat the gentlemen!

No matter whether it is MCN or other internet celebrity capital companies, he eventually plans to cash out and leave. The longer it takes, the more likely problems will arise. Anyway, the masters have a lot of money and are not afraid of bleeding!

It is worth mentioning that in 2014, there were no real MCN agencies in China. This model derived from YouTube was still in its infancy in China.

The next two years will be the development period for domestic MCNs. At the same time, they will start to grab land with the help of capital. They will accumulate internal strength first, and when the Universe Factory explodes, the MCN organizations will also explode.

However, as an old stock investor, Jian Xi has studied and researched the spirit of the A-share market in depth. If any capital masters dare to invest money in him in the future, he will dare to sell directly...

Of course, this is a later story. Currently, Jian Xi has set his sights on two easy-to-monetize categories in the internet celebrity economy.

One type is e-sports influencers, and the other type is fashion and lifestyle influencers.

Needless to say, the former is that e-sports is gradually beginning to develop and will have broader prospects in the future. By adding it in, it can not only suck blood from the players, but also suck blood from the fans in the market, and then turn around and raise the valuation before reselling it, which is a win-win situation for all parties!

The latter, on the other hand, is moving towards e-commerce, which can greatly increase the valuation and sell the hen at a good price.

In a word, Jian Xi is still in the preparation stage, but he has already thought about how to sell it in the end.

After all, he comes from a financial investment background, and investment, financing, management and withdrawal are ingrained in his bones. Why would he want that thing if he can't sell it at a good price?

And the few friends he brought here today are related to the industry he expected, uh, a little bit related.

For example, there are small bloggers who have been active on Weibo recently, and there are people in the e-sports industry who appear to be doing data analysis but are actually ordering takeout for their teammates... There are not only men, but also women.

Of course Jian Xi didn't expect these people to have much ability, but just in case, he decided to find out the situation first and make preparations before officially joining the game.

The reason why he was able to gather these people together was nothing else but pure money. In those days, prices were not yet raised in all walks of life like in later generations. A few tens of thousands of dollars was a windfall for a marginal figure in the industry.

Jian Xi also chatted with them online a few days ago. After having dinner with them today, he invited them to KTV to chat again and get a better grasp of their situation. It is estimated that he will not contact these people again in the next two days.

And precisely because he was so generous and young, these people immediately thought that he was some rich second-generation who wanted to enter their industry and wanted to cheat them. So these people boasted about their own industry while eating and drinking to their heart's content.

Jian Xi naturally didn't care. He just wanted to verify what he remembered to see if there were any major changes. The more these people boasted, the better he could estimate the current state of the industry.

Just like the guy who ordered takeout for the e-sports players, he only dared to brag that he was very familiar with the players, helped them review and analyze the games, and occasionally gave them some tactical advice...

This is so limiting. Jian Xi remembers that in the original world there was also a person who ordered takeout for the team members, and later on he could become a coach and lead the team to conquer the world!
While Jian Xi was chatting with them, the door of the KTV box was opened and Mommy led a group of girls in.

Although Jian Xi's group includes both men and women, in fact, unless there is a specific request, everyone will still default to the girl.

Especially in gatherings that are mostly business-oriented, even if a female friend likes male models, she generally will not actually add male models to the group of girls.

Moreover, in this situation, everyone assumes that it is a plain party. Everyone comes together to chat, sing, and talk about work from time to time. It still has to be more or less decent.

If you are just hanging out with familiar friends, then it doesn't matter.

So when the first batch of girls came in, the host Jian Xi followed everyone's advice and kept two before changing the group.

Even if he was a simple boy, he was not a casual boy.

When the second group of girls came in, Jian Xi didn't think anything at first, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

Then the expression on his face was very interesting.

"I didn't expect Nan Xiang to come here to be a princess. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Obviously, Nan Xiang also saw him this time, and she lowered her head and dared not look at him.

"She stayed."

Jian Xi pointed at Nan Xiang and said with a smile, and after hearing this, Nan Xiang regretted very much why she didn't just run away.

I was deducted money, but I didn’t even have the courage to step forward to the door!
In fact, the two have not been in contact for more than a month since Nan Xiang tried to report the situation to Lin Xiao but was answered by Jian Xi.

And when she saw that Jian Xi really didn't threaten her anymore, she thought that he had forgotten about it, or had a change of heart... Well, she thought that was impossible.

In Nan Xiang's eyes, this Jian Xi absolutely overturned her previous cognition. When she thought that Jian Xi had been pretending and hiding for so many years, she felt a little chilly.

It doesn't look like he would have a change of heart at all!
But everything was fine for more than a month. Nan Xiang didn't expect to meet Jian Xi again, and in a place like this!

For a moment, she recalled the fear of being dominated by the other party at school.

……

After everyone had chosen their food, the atmosphere in the box became more lively. Although it was a casual party, it didn't mean that these girls were just there to drink.

At this moment, a girl had already started singing love songs with the people brought by Jian Xi, and the dog man looked at Nan Xiang, who was sitting next to him and looked very stiff, and asked with a smile:
"What's your name?"

"..."

Nan Xiang, who had her black straight hair permed into a slightly curly color because she had to work here, lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. Jian Xi looked at her with a playful look, but not annoyed. He picked up two glasses of wine from the table, handed one to her, and continued to ask, "Then let's have a drink first and then talk slowly. There's no rush."

In addition to his friends and the girls he ordered, the mommy who was responsible for livening up the atmosphere was also in the box. She knew very well who the leader of this group of people was. Seeing that Nan Xiang was like a mute, she quickly said, "Handsome guy, Xixi just got here not long ago and is still a little shy, especially when she sees someone as handsome as you, she is so shy that she can't speak."

"Xixi!" Jian Xi smiled even more brightly.

At this time, Nan Xiang reluctantly took the wine glass from Jian Xi's hand under her mother's secret prodding, forced a smile and said "hmm".

"boom!"

The glasses clinked and the three of them drank one glass.

The atmosphere in the box gradually heated up. Although several of them were drinking with their sisters, they still boasted as much as they should, and they boasted even more happily when their sisters were around.

After having a few drinks with Nan Xiang, Jian Xi stopped paying attention to her and focused on leading the topic towards the direction that interested him when chatting with other people.

Nan Xiang was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing whether to speak or not. Finally, it was not until Jian Xi handed her a plate of melon seeds that she found something to do.

There are two most embarrassing things in the world. One is meeting an acquaintance when you go out to call a prostitute, and the other is meeting an acquaintance when you go out to work as a prostitute.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to use the word "chicken" to describe it now, the awkward feeling in some aspects is still very similar. However, this embarrassment only exists in Nan Xiang's heart.

After a while, Jian Xi sent Mommy away and asked her to go play games with them, so this place became a little empty for the time being.

At this time, Jian Xi, who had found some free time, turned his attention back to his girlfriend's good friend.

He just thought about it and it seemed that Nan Xiang had come to the KTV to accompany drinking in the original drama, but he didn't expect her to come so early.

"Have you peeled the melon seeds?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiang handed over the peeled melon seeds in her hand.

"Thank you." The dog man took it with a polite smile, and then said, "You look a lot like a friend of mine."

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Jian Xi smiled and said, "But you look much better than her. My friend looks clean, but she does dirty things behind the scenes."

"what on earth do you want?"

Finally, Nan Xiang, who was stabbed in the lungs in front of her, couldn't bear it anymore, and her stiff expression just now turned into an angry look.

Unfortunately, Jian Xi ignored the other party's eager look and ate the peeled melon seeds slowly before continuing to ask:

"I'm talking about my friend named Nan Xiang. Why are you so anxious? Isn't your name Xixi?"

After a pause, the bad man smiled and added: "By the way, I have known Nan Xiang for many years. The biggest difference between her and you is her long hair. When it is loose, she looks like a ghost. As for you..."

Jian Xi looked up and down at the "Sissi" in front of him, who was wearing a red suspender dress and had slightly curly hair, and then continued, "She is much prettier than her."

"..."

Nan Xiang took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and said, "I just found out that my friend who I have known for many years actually cheated on his girlfriend and came to a place like this. He used to be the prince charming in the hearts of many girls in school."

"That's right. The one riding on a white horse is not necessarily a prince, just like the princess is not necessarily in the castle." Jian Xi smiled, "It could also be in the box, don't you think, Princess Sissi?"

"I'm Nan Xiang!" Nan Xiang, who had been ridiculed continuously, directly revealed her cards, "Jian Xi, what on earth do you want to do?"

"I didn't intend to do anything! What can I do when I come to the KTV to have fun?" Seeing that she admitted her identity, the dog man smiled and said, "I don't know Nan Xiang in the box. I just met someone named Xixi."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiang immediately got up and left.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you afraid of being deducted? Don't want tips? I'm going to complain." Jian Xi's tone did not change. Seeing the other party pause, he continued, "But I suddenly remembered that friend named Nan Xiang. I don't know when she had the courage to turn her face away like you."

"..."

Nan Xiang, who was about to stand up and leave, suddenly remembered that the other party still had something on her. After her face changed a few times, she sat back down obediently.

Jian Xi then brought over another glass of wine and continued to say with a smile, "Princess Sissi, I hope you can abide by professional ethics. If I'm not satisfied, I will really complain."

Seeing the stupid man's smile, Nan Xiang began to feel nauseous again, but she really didn't dare to adopt the same attitude as before. Wasn't this the reason why she didn't dare to leave before?

So she had no choice but to pick up the glass and drink it all while resisting the urge to retch.

"That's all? When you were accompanying other guests before, were you just here to get some free drinks? Look at your other sisters, their job responsibilities seem to be different from yours."

As I said, even if it is a plain venue, you can't avoid being molested once you get here, and some people even start to touch and sing.

After hearing this, Nan Xiang glanced at the others and then reluctantly moved closer to Jian Xi. Seeing that he looked like he was ready to threaten her at any time, she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and stretched her legs into his arms.

"Snapped!"

Jian Xi slapped the big white legs that stretched out from under the red skirt off her body, then frowned and said, "Stop being so coquettish, can you be a little more positive?"

"You..." Nan Xiang was angry, but under Jian Xi's gaze, she endured it and returned to her humble and submissive look.

"You came here to work after leaving school?"

Seeing that the other party was normal, Jian Xi did not continue to stimulate her. He gestured for her to continue peeling melon seeds for him, and then changed the topic of conversation.

Nan Xiang silently peeled a few melon seeds before answering in a low voice: "I have a job at a fashion design company, and here... I came here because I needed money recently."

"Part-time job." Jian Xi nodded, and didn't ask why he needed money. It went without saying that it was related to the other party's gambling mother. But unfortunately, he didn't have any intention of saving others from dire straits.

He asked around in the massage parlor, whose life story wasn't as miserable as Nan Xiang's?
Besides, if Nan Xiang really wanted to pay off his debts, he could just go back and ask Gu Li for money. It was not his turn to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, and he had no interest in that either.

However, after seeing Nan Xiang again, Jian Xi gradually had other ideas in his mind. It happened that he had never known how to use her before, so he had to squeeze some money out of her this time.

So Jian Xi said again: "Stand up and turn around twice."

"Turn around twice?" Nan Xiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was going to do something to humiliate her again, but the situation was stronger than the person, and she had no capital to show confidence in front of Jian Xi.

Finally, I had to stand up, close my eyes and turn around twice in front of the other person.

"Okay, sit down." Jian Xi nodded, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Have you ever learned dance before?"

Nan Xiang, who didn't know what the other party was up to, was already feeling uneasy. When she heard the other party ask this, she nodded and said, "I learned a little bit with them in middle school."

"Oh, yes!" Jian Xi then remembered that Gu Li had danced with the Times sisters at the graduation ceremony. Although their dancing was ugly, given Gu Li's personality, she must have asked someone to help them lay some foundation.

That's a little easier. Jian Xi put on a smiling face again and said softly:

"Nan Xiang, do you want to become rich? Become rich on your own and live the same life as Gu Li. Are you interested?"

The IP era will begin next year. Originally, he thought his hopes were not very high, but now he has found a good way.

Nan Xiang's hair is smooth and beautiful, and it is obvious that she is a good candidate for being a rocker.
