Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 156 She doesn't know how many male livestreamers she's secretly dated.

After Shen An'an's affair was exposed, Yan Keming immediately realized Shen An'an's value.

Similarly, they also learned of Lin Lang's value.

Regardless of the strength of Lin Lang's team, at least for now, they have already demonstrated their value.

Shen An'an has gained her current popularity and persona, and almost all netizens across the internet know about her.

This is a huge flock of sheep.

Those who can control the flock can do whatever they want in the financial markets.

Of course, this kind of behavior will definitely damage one's public image, but it only needs to be done once when one is at the peak of popularity.

One such instance could potentially yield hundreds of millions or even billions in profit.

There's no rush now. Shen An'an hasn't reached her peak yet, and he doesn't have a suitable opportunity to intervene.

Currently, Shen An'an is being managed by Dayu Media.

He had previously thought that the list provided by Big Fish Media wasn't outrageous, but he never imagined that the internet and stock trading could be integrated in this way.

He never imagined that creating a starkly contrasting persona on the internet would become an aid in controlling the herd.

This off-market tactic is absolutely brilliant.

Looking back at that list of twelve million now, it seems not only appropriate, but even too little.

Even if he knew this method, he didn't know how much money it would cost to maintain Shen An'an's persona to its current state.

Tens of millions are definitely not enough; at least several hundred million must be lost to match Shen An'an's persona in order to dump the shares and drive up the price.

He didn't know how Big Fish Media did it, but there were only two possibilities.

Either he's truly capable, or the team behind Lin Lang is equally invaluable. Based on the private equity firm he invested in, the entire team is worth at least 100 million yuan a year.

Or perhaps Big Fish Media just got incredibly lucky and stumbled upon an opportunity, but that's also a matter of their own ability.

In summary, Shen An'an has already succeeded more than halfway; all she needs to do now is maintain her public image.

There's no need to post screenshots of your gameplay anymore; you can simply Photoshop some profit screenshots instead. There's no need to damage your public image.

Even if she just photoshopped the picture, some people will still believe it.

He had already received the message that Lin Lang was going out for a while, and he planned to meet with Lin Lang after he came out.

Yan Li said, "Dad, I don't need to borrow much money, just... fifty million."

She certainly wouldn't give up easily, since the easiest person for her to borrow money from right now is her own father.

Yan Keming said, "Lili, you overestimate the trust your fans have in you. If you can't even raise 200 million, then even if you manage to operate this product, you will only lose everything."

"Dad, can't you give me a chance?"

Yan Keming shook his head. "From establishing a fund company to launching the first product, the most difficult part is actually setting up the company structure. Without that structure, it won't pass the review. The second most difficult part is the initial capital of 100 million yuan. The easiest part is actually fundraising. We've already done the first two difficult things for you. You can't even solve the easiest problem. Do you think it's our problem?"

You were too confident in yourself. You didn't sign contracts with those distribution platforms beforehand. With those platforms around, raising two hundred million would have been a piece of cake.

Yan Li: "..."

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but the commission rates on those distribution platforms were just too high.

The so-called trailing commission is the commission that follows the user's investment. If a user on a certain platform spends 50 million yuan to buy their own fund, then as long as that 50 million yuan is not withdrawn, that platform can continue to collect commissions from Tianjin Capital.

She was just starting out, and almost all platforms required a fixed fee plus a 50% management fee.

Let alone the fact that Tianjin Capital didn't make much money in the early stages, even if it did, it was just working for those platforms.

If the traffic generation data is not ideal, or if she didn't do a good job at the beginning, resulting in a large loss of funds, then... she might even lose a lot of money.

She was indeed confident. She believed that with millions of followers and five to six million views every day, raising two hundred million yuan would definitely be no problem.

In addition, the company has 80 million yuan in its own funds.

However, the conversion rate of the internet taught her a lesson.

With nearly two million followers, it's estimated that by the end of the fundraising phase, at most only a little over four thousand will have converted to followers.

This conversion rate shattered her dreams.

She always thought she had an absolute lead in the internet industry, but it turns out... people simply don't care about that conversion rate.

It's far inferior to those third-party distribution platforms, which can forcefully push traffic to users with exaggerated headlines and don't set up discussion forums. Many people buy funds without knowing why, and often don't realize it for years.

Even if you regret it, you still have to pay a large handling fee to leave.

However, her determination is now even greater than before.

Lin Lang will be here soon with his team. If they can make it work, then... she will be able to realize her own value in life, instead of having to listen to other people's arrangements.

……

"Mom, can I borrow some money?"

Yan Li found her mother.

She knew her mother also had money; she wouldn't dare say more, but it should be around four or five hundred million.

“Your dad just called me and said I can’t lend it to him.”

"why?"

"Because he wants you to handle this yourself."

"Oh……"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Lin could tell that Yan Li was a little unhappy, so she said, "You should think of a solution yourself first. If it really doesn't work, borrow some money from your aunt. I'll talk to her later."

"My mom is still the best to me..."

Yan Li felt much relieved when she heard that her mother had come up with a solution for her.

She could certainly borrow money from others; if she asked several people, borrowing 50 million wouldn't be a problem.

It's just too much trouble to borrow that money.

They might go out for a meal or shopping, and say a lot of nice things.

She doesn't like to put herself in a vulnerable position.

"Don't tell your dad."

"Okay okay."

Yan Li knew that he hadn't really achieved anything significant. The only thing he could call an achievement was his fame in the self-media industry, but his current monetization was far from what he expected.

Even if she had over 100 million yuan, she wouldn't need to borrow money now.

My father wasn't wrong; fundraising is the simplest thing to do when starting a fund company.

She couldn't even get past the simplest hurdle.

I returned to Shanghai around 3 p.m. and checked the subscription status.

Lin Lang's side subscribed for a total of 53 million.

Without Lin Lang's 50 million, things would have been even worse.

However, she still doesn't know what Lin Lang wants.

……

"The renovation should be finished in about two weeks. Are you leaving?"

"Yes, there's a lot of work."

Lin Lang was chatting with Bing Ning.

Bingning had dinner with his family tonight, and during the meal, he mentioned that he would be away for a while. After Bingning returned, he sent him a message.

How long will you be staying?

"It will be a little over a month, they will definitely come before the New Year."

There are still more than two months until the Chinese New Year.

"Yes."

"You came to my place... I missed you."

"Does it have to be tonight?"

"Okay, after the bar closes later, I'll turn off all the security cameras. Come over, and I'll do a striptease for you."

Lin Lang: "..."

That's utterly despicable!
He was just an innocent young man, but Bing Ning had already led him astray.

Oh well, it's not the first time I've done something indecent. I'll definitely control myself next time.

Forget it this time.

I've never seen it.

Bing Ning's figure makes her dance exceptionally powerful; it's hard to imagine how alluring she could be under the influence of lights and music.

……

The fourth week of November is already more than halfway over.

Lin Lang has already booked his high-speed rail ticket.

Overall, the company is progressing very well, especially Yunyiyi. After the recent videos were filmed, traffic is recovering rapidly.

Yun Yiyi's videos have a fixed script and fixed camera angles.

First, there's the interaction between Qin Haiyang and his son Qin Dong, such as playing games, wanting to buy something, or hiding pocket money...

Just when the father and son are about to succeed after a series of scheming and intrigues, one of them turns against them, and the other side begins to suffer losses and falls into a passive position.

The other party then started spouting nonsense, saying things like, "I'm the boss at home, and I'm not afraid of anyone."

The scene then shifts to the woman in the family, who immediately becomes a coward and starts shifting blame onto each other...

The whole video is full of contrasts and is hilarious.

They even occasionally dragged Qin Haiyang's three-year-old brother into the mess to take the blame.

It takes about three days to produce one video. So far, four episodes have been filmed and two have been released.

The first episode received a good response, with that video garnering over 200,000 likes.

The second episode has only been released for a dozen hours, and it has already received over 400,000 likes.

The subject matter is definitely good, and Qin Dong's acting skills are impeccable.

As for Qin Haiyang? His original character was someone who was both silly and full of ideas, so he can just play himself.

The main problem is that Qin Haiyang's mother's acting is subpar, but that's easy to fix; just stop her from saying her lines.

The whole theme is: Family Cloud – the biggest.

An ordinary girl who marries into a wealthy family and is unconditionally pampered by them, with her word being law, is the ultimate fantasy and a killer for any woman!

After having children, you can also film footage of yourself with them.

Internet celebrities are all about making use of everything around them that they can.

Regarding the borderline project team, Bi Xiaofang has signed more than 100 borderline streamers across the entire network. After all, his team is doing well and has earned a lot of money through new media novels. Now, he receives 150,000 yuan in signing fees every month.

Lin Lang actually found several pretty, borderline-female live streamers in the entire project team, and planned to focus on training them after the New Year, and specially develop some shooting scripts.

Aside from signing contracts to come here and helping others build live streaming studios and filming locations, Bi Xiaofang also contacted more than 200 female internet celebrities across the internet for collaborative traffic generation.

The entire borderline project team is now the only profitable project for Big Fish Media.

After all, Yan Li's side doesn't belong to Big Fish Media, Yun Yiyi's side hasn't received any money recently due to the cooperation, and Mi Xiaofan's side hasn't started to monetize yet.

As for Yuan Dahua, he hasn't had any business engagements scheduled yet. He just completed his 100-day wild fishing challenge and has been back home these past few days filming some everyday scenes, as he's about to prepare for his next 100-day wild fishing challenge.

I just filmed my first daily video the day before yesterday. It mainly consisted of me coming back, taking a shower, shaving my beard, buying some groceries, and cooking myself a meal.

Next, I'll visit my parents and buy them some other things.

After all, the next 100 days will span the New Year and will be entirely in winter.

Lin Lang didn't say anything, but after he completed the 100-day challenge, he gave him 50,000 yuan and a list of cooperation fees.

Two million!
Even though he filmed most of the videos himself, the editing, operations, and scriptwriting were all done by Dayu Media.

After a period of time as a marketing account, he has gained more than 300,000 followers. Although the million mark is still a long way off, he is definitely a top figure in the fishing community.

The fishing industry is still relatively small at present; it will likely remain a major player for at least two years...

The atmosphere on the internet is constantly changing. In the past two years, most people have been working, so their sense of participation in entertainment and such has not been very strong.

As work becomes increasingly difficult, short videos, as the lowest-cost form of entertainment, will experience rapid growth.

Fishing has become a favorite pastime for many middle-aged men.

The market size reflects this: this year, the national market for fishing tackle, bait, and fishing-related equipment is only around 30 billion yuan.

This number will double in two years and reach 100 billion in four years.

For fishing streamers with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers, the promotion cost for a single bait product is often between 50,000 and 200,000 yuan.

Such promotional contracts are typically signed on a monthly basis.

Fishing streamers can take on a wide range of business opportunities, from fishing rods and bait to various outdoor products.

Competition in these industries in China is fierce, and the prices offered are often very generous.

……

On November 30th, Lin Lang called Mi Xiaofan, drove her to the high-speed rail station.

Gao Yu was also in the car. After arriving at the destination, Gao Yu drove back. Lin Lang's car would be given to Gao Yu to use from now on.

Lin Lang and Mi Xiaofan had a total of three suitcases, all of which were completely full.

That's not all, because Lin Lang also sent a package to Shanghai containing six or seven sets of clothes specially prepared for Mi Xiaofan.

Those are all business orders... each business order is around 50,000 yuan.

As for the live streaming contract, it hasn't been signed yet. Lin Lang wants to wait until his fan base officially surpasses ten million before seriously negotiating the price with the other party.

Lin Lang had just sat down, preparing to lie down in the business class seat to rest for a while, when the phone rang.

He looked and saw that it was Yuan Dahua calling.

Without hesitation, I answered the call immediately.

"Brother Yuan, is something the matter?"

Yuan Dahua sounded anxious on the other end of the phone, "President Lin, my ex-wife knows I'm back and is already at the door, what should I do?"

"Huh? This matter... Brother Yuan, you can handle it yourself."

"I...I don't know what to do." Yuan Dahua was really anxious.

Lin Lang had seen photos of Yuan Dahua's ex-wife; she was indeed quite beautiful, and even with filters, she was still about 80 out of 10.

"Brother Yuan, to put it bluntly, she's probably dated countless male livestreamers in private..."
