Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chapter 164 You're still not satisfied with 20 million views? Why don't you go to heaven?

"That coward Wang Lei is probably hiding in his office crying right now," Wu Daqing sneered. "As for Shen Fei, he's just a drifter who makes short videos. If he knows what's good for him and shuts up, this matter will be over. But if he dares to show his teeth, I can just find some excuse to have the industry and commerce bureau and the fire department take a look at his little lousy company, and he'll have to close down tomorrow."

After hearing this, Wang Yan finally felt relieved.

"Exactly, they're not worthy to fight us." Wang Yan smiled and massaged Wu Daqing's shoulders. "My Daqing is really capable. He didn't have to lift a finger and just picked up such a big gold ingot for free."

"That's called resource integration." Wu Daqing patted Wang Yan's hand and closed his eyes comfortably.

His mind was filled with the millions of dollars in profits that were about to roll in.

As long as Wu Jingyao speeds up the packing and shipping, and quickly sells off those rotten fruits to realize cash, Li Hao will have a secure down payment on his large apartment in the provincial capital by the end of the year.

Wang Lei picked up the thermos on the table and took a sip of the slightly astringent tea. On the computer screen, the homepage of the "Anyuan Farmhouse Fresh" store on Tmall was prominently displayed.

In the most prominent position on the page, it is stated that the monthly sales of fruit blind boxes have exceeded 5,000 units.

It's been three days.

Since making that call to Shen Fei, Tianyu Media has remained completely silent, as if a stone has been thrown into the sea.

Wang Lei frowned slightly as he looked at the sales data constantly changing on the screen.

He wasn't envious of how much money Wu Jingyao had made. As a section chief in the system with a fixed salary, he had no concept of such exorbitant profits and didn't care about them.

He just found it a little strange.

That day on the phone, Shen Fei's tone was so confident, his words radiating an air of determination to deal with Wu Jingyao. How come, three days later, Wu Jingyao's online store is not only unaffected, but its business is actually booming?

Could it be that this young man inquired about Deputy Director Wu's background afterward, weighed the pros and cons, and then backed down?

That's normal. In Anyuan County, few business people dare to go head-to-head with a deputy bureau chief who actually holds power.

Wang Lei shook his head and put down the thermos.

Forget it, I shouldn't have had too high expectations for this anyway. He moved the mouse, closed the Maotao webpage, opened a new document about his rural research trip, and put his hands back on the keyboard.

He has done what he was supposed to do; the rest, let nature take its course.

Feiyu Media, General Manager's Office.

"Brother Fei, the video has been sent out."

Qin Ziyi pushed open the door and locked it from the inside.

He walked to his desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"One hundred and twenty ordinary accounts, as you instructed, started posting last night at eight o'clock. The titles all included the tags 'Anyuan Good Products' and 'Aid Farmers Blind Boxes'," Qin Ziyi reported.

He stared intently at Shen Fei, a surge of pent-up anger welling up inside him. Seeing Wu Jingyao's run-down shop raking in money these past few days had made him more anxious than anyone else. Now the time bomb had finally been planted, and he was just waiting for it to explode and kill those bastards.

Shen Fei sat in the boss's chair without looking up.

He said calmly, "Well, let's ignore it for now. This kind of negative public opinion needs to be naturally captured by the platform's algorithm in the early stages. We'll let the marketing accounts enter the fray tomorrow afternoon."

Qin Ziyi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Understood."

Shen Fei then turned his attention to Song Ting's account data.

Song Ting's Daliyuan series of videos has been released for a week, and the two videos with the highest number of views have already exceeded 20 million.

Many people in the company felt that the data was disappointing. After all, Song Ting's previous works, "Digging and Digging" and "Meow Meow Meow," were phenomenal successes.

However, Shen Fei is not in a hurry. These kinds of videos that rely on nostalgia in the early stages rely on novelty, and later on the resonance and spontaneous spread of the fan base. Without any particularly eye-catching highlights, they can only be built up slowly.

"Brother Fei, is Sister Song Ting's potato chip video going a bit slow?" Qin Ziyi followed Shen Fei's gaze and couldn't help but ask.

He was indeed a little disappointed. After all, this video was personally edited by Shen Fei, and compared to his previous hit videos, it was indeed somewhat lacking.

Shen Fei picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and did not respond immediately.

The video data this time was indeed a bit disappointing. Based on the current data, the data for these five videos will only reach a maximum of 50 million.

After all, how large is Jay Chou's fan base? It spans the entire youth of those born in the 80s and 90s. Once this kind of sentiment is fully ignited, the energy it unleashes is extremely terrifying.

Fifty million is just a drop in the ocean.

According to his estimate, the two videos should have at least 80 million views.

However, Shen Fei was satisfied with the 20 million views. Based on the platform's revenue of 20 yuan per thousand views, the direct monetization of just these two videos would amount to 1.2 million yuan.

Although Douyin hasn't released its DAU data yet, based on previous data, it's estimated to be less than 1 million. For this amount of traffic to generate millions in revenue is already quite considerable.

"You're still not satisfied with 20 million views? Why don't you go to heaven?"

Shen Fei raised his head and looked at Qin Ziyi with a half-smile.

"Brother Fei, that's not what I meant—I just feel that compared to the previous videos, this data—is a bit lacking." His voice trailed off as he spoke.

Indeed, that's what he was thinking.

Compared to Song Ting's previous two phenomenal videos, "Digging and Digging" and "Meow Meow Meow," 20 million views does seem rather bland.

In his subconscious, any project personally managed by Shen Fei must be an absolute force to be reckoned with.

"Ziyi, you need to understand something." Shen Fei's gaze shifted from the data sheet to Qin Ziyi's face. The success of "Digging and Digging" and "Meow Meow Meow" was the result of a combination of favorable timing, location, and people. Those phenomenal blockbusters are something you can only dream of.

"A mature MCN agency is not judged by how many hit videos you create, but by whether you can consistently and stably output high-quality content and maintain the account's core user base. That's our moat."

"The platform's public traffic pool is only so big each day; it's a limited pie." Shen Fei held up a finger and pointed in the air, "That girl Chen Xi who broke up with her boyfriend."

Her video went viral a few days ago, topping the trending searches. Whose traffic do you think she stole?

Qin Ziyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He was so focused on comparing Song Ting's present with her past that he forgot to include Chen Xi! Lately, topics about breakup girls have dominated half of the trending topics list, and Douyin's algorithm will definitely favor her.
