Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

Chapter 104 One hundred and thirty million! One hundred and thirty million!

The snow outside the window has been falling all day.

Lin Shen leaned back on the sofa in his hotel room, his laptop on the coffee table, the data on the screen jumping at a visible speed.

Yang Chaoyue sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding a tablet in his hands, his eyes wide open.

23: 45.

The sales figures in the "Trajectory" Tmall flagship store's backend have exceeded 120 million yuan.

Lin Shen's gaze was fixed on that number.

One hundred and twenty million.

What does this number mean?

This means that within two months of the trajectory being launched, daily sales exceeded 100 million yuan.

This means that the money Lin Shen initially invested has begun to multiply. It means... "Brother Shen! It's gone up again!" Yang Chaoyue was so excited he almost jumped off the carpet, pointing at the screen, his voice nearly splitting, "One hundred and twenty-three hundred million!"

Lin Shen didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

During the National Day pre-sale, the company sold over 48 million yuan worth of goods. Although the numbers were good at the time, he knew in his heart that it was supported by the fan economy.

The real test is Singles' Day, the test of casual shoppers, and the test of repurchase rate.

And now, it's 100 million.

This means that the brand has shifted from Lin Shen's brand to a brand that everyone thinks is good.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

The words "Chang Bin" appeared on the screen.

Lin Shen answered the call, and Chang Bin's hearty laughter immediately came from the other end: "Lin Shen, how did your Singles' Day sales go? I've seen so many posts about Tracking's failure on my WeChat Moments!"

"Not bad." Lin Shen smiled, his gaze sweeping across the screen: 125 million. "Brother Bin, are you up so late just to check my performance?"

"Why would I check your performance? I don't get any bonuses." Chang Bin laughed, then quickly changed the subject, "I'm thinking about something else: Teacher Chen's script, is it finished yet?"

Lin Shen leaned back, somewhat helpless.

The vice president of Tencent Video started asking about the progress of "The Thunder" at the end of October, and made no less than five phone calls in a month.

It's always the same routine: first, small talk; then, probing; and finally, a reminder, as if afraid he'll turn around and sell the project to Kiwi.

"It'll be soon," Lin Shen said. "We're already in the interrogation stage."

"They've interrogated you?" Chang Bin's voice was noticeably brighter; his excitement was palpable even through the phone. "When will the project be approved?"

Lin Shen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "Brother Bin, you know this process better than I do."

Projects with the Ministry of Public Security involve processes like review, project initiation, and approval; each step takes several months. I can only wait for notification.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Chang Bin laughed: "Alright, alright, I'm just in a hurry. We agreed beforehand that you'd let me know first if this project could get started. I've already prepared the money, just waiting for you to ask."

Lin Shen glanced at Yang Chaoyue. The little girl was suppressing a laugh, looking down at her tablet, her shoulders swaying.

"Don't worry, Brother Bin, I'll definitely let you know first," Lin Shen said sincerely. "If Kiwi asks, I'll just say my schedule is full."

Chang Bin laughed even harder: "I love what you said, Mr. Lin! Alright, I won't disturb your holiday any longer. Let's have a drink later!"

The phone hangs up.

Lin Shen had just put down his phone and hadn't even picked up his teacup when the screen lit up again.

This time, the person who popped up on the screen was "Zhang Yuxin," the representative of kiwifruit.

Lin Shen answered the phone, a smile already on his face: "Sister Yuxin, you're still up so late?"

"Mr. Lin, you're joking. It's Singles' Day, who can sleep?" Zhang Yuxin said gently. "I just saw your tracking data, it's selling very well. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Sister Yuxin," Lin Shen said with a smile. "It's all thanks to everyone."

"By the way, I called you mainly for two things," Zhang Yuxin said. "First, how's the progress of 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles'? I heard from Lao Luo that the snow is too heavy in Changbai Mountain, and sometimes they have to stop filming midway through?"

Lin Shen nodded: "Yes, the weather here is indeed a bit troublesome. But the progress is okay, and if we follow the plan, we should be able to wrap up filming in less than two months."

"That's good." Zhang Yuxin paused for a moment. "The second thing is that this year, Kiwi is going to hold a Scream Night in the capital in early December. You must come!"

Scream Night.

Lin Shen thought about the event. This year was indeed the first time Kiwi had held such an event, so they were definitely going all out to make a good impression.

As the male protagonist of "The Lost Tomb" and a deeply integrated partner of the platform, it would be unreasonable not to participate.

"Since Sister Yuxin has spoken, I'll definitely be there," Lin Shen readily agreed.

"That's good." Zhang Yuxin smiled and casually asked, "President Lin, there's something else I'd like to ask about."

coming.

Lin Shen picked up his teacup, waiting for the rest of the story.

"I heard you have a pretty good project?" Zhang Yuxin asked tactfully, but the meaning was clear: "If you need investment, be sure to think of us."

Lin Shen paused for a moment, then smiled.

Well, another one.

Chang Bin's team just finished their match, and this team arrived right away. Both sides are shrewd; everyone knows what this kind of project means.

"Sister Yuxin, you're really well-informed. But to be honest, this project is still stuck in the approval stage," Lin Shen said discreetly. "I don't know the specifics either; I'll have to wait for notification. I'll definitely let you know as soon as I have any news."

Zhang Yuxin didn't press the matter, and replied with a smile, "Alright, then I'll wait for President Lin's good news. I won't disturb your rest any longer, see you later."

The phone hangs up.

Lin Shen looked at his phone screen and gave a slight smile.

A penguin and a kiwi were both eyeing the piece of meat.

But what they didn't know was that he didn't have control over the project at all; he was just a guide at best.

Yang Chaoyue looked up, his face full of gossip: "Brother Shen, did these two plan this?"

"What are we going to talk about? It's like we're fighting over food." Lin Shen tossed his phone onto the sofa. "Everyone wants to get the exclusive."

Yang Chaoyue blinked: "Then who should we give it to?"

Lin Shen glanced at her but did not answer.

to whom?

No one needs to give it to you.

For a project of this caliber, it's already a miracle that the platform can participate; why be so picky? When it's time to actually get the project approved, there will be plenty of people lining up.

Lin Shen withdrew his gaze and continued staring at the screen.

It's already 23:59 PM.

The final total sales figure from the backend data is: 132,847,693 yuan.

Lin Shen stared at the string of numbers, his fingers pausing on the keyboard.

One hundred and thirty-two million.

He quickly went through the accounts in his mind.

The pre-sales during the National Day holiday reached 48 million, and the sales on Singles' Day reached 130 million.

In just two months, the cumulative sales have exceeded 300 million.

Based on an average gross profit of 40%, the profit is over 120 million.

After deducting operating costs, promotion expenses, and logistics expenditures, the net profit is at least 70 to 80 million.

That is, a little over two months.

And this is just the beginning.

Lin Shen couldn't help but recall those Taobao brands from his previous life, such as Han Du Yi She, Inman, and Liebo, which created legends on Singles' Day, and then raised funds, expanded, and went public.

The trajectory is currently following this path.

But it took those people three to five years to achieve this, while he only took two months.

"Brother Shen!!!"

Suddenly, Yang Chaoyue jumped up from the carpet, grabbed his arm, and shook it violently, shouting, "One hundred and thirty million! One hundred and thirty million! Brother Shen, did you see that! It's one hundred and thirty million!"

Lin Shen laughed as she shook him, and slapped her hand away, saying, "Alright, alright, calm down."

"I can't stay calm! Brother Shen, do you know that I just checked and the threshold for the top ten women's clothing category during last year's Double Eleven was only 80 million!"

If we participated in the rankings, we could at least make the top ten!
