This director is vindictive.

Chapter 578 Among the monkeys on the mountain, my butt is the most famous: 300 million butts overpower all others
Inside the VIP business suite.

The group of venture capitalists looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Goodness, even netizens have figured it out! It's getting harder and harder to fool people these days!"

"Who can argue with that? But guess who will ultimately win?"

"They're already listed companies! After all, they have more money!"

Just then, when the price broke through 8000 million, an ID named "Mixue Ice Cream" suddenly popped up and bid 1 million. The live chat was silent for a moment, then exploded:

"??? Even affordable milk tea brands are getting involved?"

The next second, the ID added: "Sorry, it was a slip of the hand. We were just here to watch the drama (Snow King scratching his head.jpg)"

This joke almost made everyone laugh hysterically.

Sure enough, the comments section was already in stitches:
[Snow King: Everyone here is a little brother (sunglasses, straw in mouth.jpg)]

[1 million yuan is enough to buy 1666 million cups of lemonade!]

[I suggest renaming it "The Listed Companies' Show-Off Contest"]

Because Mixue is already listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it doesn't mean that being listed means you can't do this kind of marketing. On the contrary, just as those venture capitalists say, listed companies spending this money can have more immediate results.

The same is true.

With Mixue's unexpected entry into the market, if the previous incident involving a young woman's milk tea caused a stir in the milk tea industry, triggering a bidding war among milk tea companies, then Mixue's latest move has directly stirred up the nest of a listed company.

Six Squirrels offered 1.11 million yuan: "Director Chen, would you consider Nut Cinema?"

Perfect Diary adds 1.22 million yuan: "Seeking advice on how to manage seven spokespeople simultaneously."

Pop Mart invests an additional 1.33 million yuan: "We want to customize the Seven Fairies blind boxes (the hidden version features Chen Mo in a bathrobe)."

The bullet screen went completely berserk:
"Are these listed companies just printing out their financial statements and burning them like a game?"

"I suggest the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) come to the live broadcast room and arrest people!"

"Chen Mo is now like a top host at a nightclub, with rich women showering him with money!"

"No, look at these bids, it's obviously a game!"

However, each session of tonight's auction has a time limit.

Chen Mo's dinner auction lasted a little longer, but only 15 minutes.

At this moment, the comments section was in complete disarray, filled with messages from various listed companies, as well as those companies that were about to go public or were about to conduct their final round of financing.

At first, it was just these second-tier companies, but as the bidding time became shorter, a bunch of companies suddenly emerged, including those in the mobile phone industry and domestic car companies.

But what's most unexpected is that even internet giants have started to get involved.

After all, when it comes to financial power, internet giants are truly the most powerful!

The countdown has reached its final 10 seconds.

The live stream suddenly stopped working.

Unfortunately, there are too many special effects being bid on simultaneously, and phones with insufficient specifications simply freeze.

When the live stream finally resumed streaming, all the viewers held their breath, staring intently at the final transaction information flashing on the screen—

"Transaction price: 3 million!"

"Winner: Of all the monkeys on the mountain, my butt is the reddest."

The entire comment section was instantly flooded with question marks and exclamation marks.

"??????"

"Who the hell is that?"

"Wow, he managed to mock all the business leaders in the live stream?"

"No, the worst part is that it even mocks itself!"

"Three hundred million!! That's a direct knockout from the record for the Buffett lunch!!"

Not only were netizens bewildered, but the CEOs of those companies were also bewildered. They had finally seized such a good opportunity, and where the hell did this monkey come from?
Are you some kind of Monkey King, Sun Wukong? You come here and start causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

Venture capitalists, investors, and media who were following the auction were all stunned.

All I can say is that this live stream exceeded everyone's expectations.

3 million! Anyone who can come up with 3 million to bid for Chen Mo's dinner must be no nobody.

But this account ID is so damn unfamiliar, okay?

This has never happened before.

"Who the hell is this?" Inside the VIP room, several venture capital bigwigs, including the already balding Mr. Xiong, cursed out loud.

"I want to know too!"

"This is really something, you wouldn't even dare to make up a story like this!"

"Who exactly is this monkey? This name is totally mocking!"

"Look at Chen Mo's expression, hahaha!"

"Could it be random filming? After all, the deposit was only one million!"

"That would be awkward!" In fact, Chen Mo himself was also completely bewildered at this moment.

Who the hell is this? He felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Ahem, let's verify if the funds have arrived!" Chen Mo had to say.

Soon, a staff member sent a message: "The funds have been received!"

"Who is the other party?" Chen Mo asked again into the headset.

"They requested that this be kept confidential for the time being!"

Chen Mo is in Spartacus!

Viewers in the live stream were completely stunned.

"Holy crap, who the hell is this? And they're anonymous?"

"@Douyin Official, could you please reveal who the monkey with the reddest butt is?"

"So you're really just spending 3 million to play around? Other people would be eager to show off, but this monkey is just making a fool of everyone?"

This auction was completely beyond everyone's expectations; no one could have predicted it would end this way.

At the same time, this live stream completely dominated the trending topics on Weibo's entertainment section.

[3 Million vs. 1.9 Million] The financial world is in an uproar! A securities analyst posted a comparison chart: Chen Mo's influence = 1.6 Buffetts (in RMB).
"How many dishes does Chen Mo have? Can he compare to Buffett?"

"Heh, why can't Chen Mo be compared? What Chen Mo does has a real and tangible impact. And Buffett? He's just a middleman!"

"No problem. Putting everything else aside, no one can replicate Chen Mo's 814 Welfare Festival! Moreover, he started from humble beginnings, his words carry weight, and he can influence the entire market with a single statement. Who else can do that?"

"Just look at the bids, and you'll know. Chen Mo is such a dreamer! It's a pity that this monkey is too shameless. He was still waiting to go all in on the last stock purchase, and now he's dumbfounded!"

"So here's the question: who took the picture of Chen Mo's dinner?"

"The listed company held several meetings, but in the end, the whole thing was taken down by the monkeys!"

"Hilarious! This monkey's butt is definitely the reddest. I can't wait to see who's going to be at the banquet!"

Of course, the most popular one is #My Butt Is the Most Popular Among the Monkeys on the Mountain (Explosive)#.

After all, this reversal was truly unexpected.

Moreover, the other party kept their identity a closely guarded secret, keeping even Chen Mo completely in the dark and having no idea who they were.

Not to mention the capitalists who were sharpening their knives to fleece the common people; their expected outcome was completely disrupted.

Then all sorts of speculations arose. Some guessed that Chen Mo had orchestrated the whole thing himself, but after all, Chen Mo's expression at the time couldn't be faked, and there was no need for it.

Some speculate that she is a die-hard, wealthy fan of Chen Mo, and her gender is definitely female.

In any case, for a time, the monkey's identity became the hottest topic everyone was digging into.

Some media outlets have even offered a reward of millions of dollars to anyone who can provide the true identity of the "monkey."

However, the live stream has ended, but the matter is still unresolved.

Of course, this live auction was an unprecedented success, and the funds raised were enough to make countless charity auctions green with envy.

More than 5 million yuan in donations!
However, it also sparked some controversy.

These days, there will always be people who like to nitpick and find fault. For example, this live broadcast was originally intended as a charity auction to combat domestic violence, but in the end, it turned into a nationwide entertainment frenzy.

Public opinion quickly split into two camps:

Opposition and skepticism:

"Consuming suffering, entertaining to the death."

A well-known media personality criticized: "The Tang case has been edited into a 'suspense drama,' and the auction of the bathrobe has objectified women. This is a secondary harm to the victim!"

"What should have been a serious topic has turned into a nationwide carnival. What's the point?"

However, this was quickly refuted by supporters:

"This is the new way to do charity!"

Netizens posted a comparison of photos from previous traditional charity galas: "In the past, bigwigs would hold champagne and fake smiles; now, everyone can watch the drama and donate. Which is more meaningful?"

"I don't understand why this group of people would jump out. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and no one is perfect. In any case, the funds raised at this auction are real, so what's wrong with that?"

"These people are hypocrites, contradicting themselves. On the one hand, they think it's about exploiting suffering, and on the other hand, they say serious topics shouldn't be entertaining. Goodness, you've said it all."

Consumer hardship? Did Chen Mo profit? No, right? Where did this consumer hardship come from?
Furthermore, shouldn't serious topics be trivialized? Then here's the problem: you said earlier that exploiting suffering causes secondary harm to victims, but what's the reality? You forbid trivialization? Ha! Everyone's silent when donating, but then you expose your true colors?

"Fighting domestic violence shouldn't be a bitter and resentful affair."

A branch president of a women's association published a lengthy article: "What's wrong with using entertainment to attract attention and ultimately make more people aware of domestic violence cases?"

"Entertainment is a means, not an end. If no one pays attention, fighting domestic violence will always be a niche topic."

This comment received countless likes.
