Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Yan Ming felt displeased after hearing Shen Fei's conditions.

This is a bit too much! Every single one of these conditions crosses the platform's bottom line, especially the demands for the right to know and the right to IP autonomy. It's simply impossible to agree to these!

Yan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "President Shen, your conditions... if I may be frank, are impossible for us to agree to."

Shen Fei seemed to have expected this, and smiled faintly. He never expected Douyin to agree. The outrageous conditions they threw out right away were just asking for too much and using it as a stepping stone for him.

"Oh, in that case, I just want the platform to give my artists algorithmic weighting, plus a special traffic pool privilege. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Yan Ming's expression froze instantly. He had just rejected Shen Fei's conditions, and now that the other party had taken the initiative to back down, only mentioning algorithm weighting and traffic pool privileges, it would seem that he was being unreasonable if he refused again.

He frowned slightly. Moderate algorithm weighting only increases the weight of cold starts and recommendation priority, and will not damage the overall ecosystem, nor will it affect the platform's ultimate control over the content.

As long as the extent is controlled, it's not impossible to agree to.

Moreover, President Chen clearly has a high opinion of Feiyu Media. With that in mind, Yan Ming no longer hesitated and readily agreed, "Alright, since President Shen has conceded, I'll give you a straight answer. Algorithm weighting and traffic pool privileges are no problem."

In fact, Shen Fei knew very well that back in 2018, short videos had just exploded in popularity, and Douyin was constantly worried about how to attract MCN agencies to create high-quality content. Feiyu was the hot commodity in their eyes.

At this critical juncture, all that talk about autonomy is nonsense. As long as you get the boost in account authority and traffic privileges, you can skip the grueling cold start period for ordinary accounts. Even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place at the right time.

That's why he spent so much time talking today.

......

The video conference window closed, and Yan Ming's face disappeared from the screen.

Shen Fei leaned back in his chair, a happy smile on his face.

All done. Feiyu Media has successfully connected with the platform and is now on the right track. As long as Feiyu Media performs better and better, the platform will give it more and more support. Feiyu Media's future path is now paved with a layer of asphalt, making it very smooth.

He opened the backend and checked Song Ting's account data.

With 6.8 million followers, the video of the "Meow Meow Meow" hand gesture dance received over 1.2 million likes, and the product-selling video received over 300,000 likes.

This is the effect of platform promotion. If you only rely on the quality of the work for system promotion, more than 10 million views is already very good. Only when the platform reviews and provides manual promotion can you break through the traffic pool, enter the natural traffic pool, and be recommended across the entire platform.

Especially for product promotion videos, these videos are tagged by the system from the beginning and can only be promoted within a limited traffic pool. Normally, it is already difficult to get tens of thousands of likes, let alone hundreds of thousands.

Shen Fei shut down his computer with satisfaction, grabbed his car keys, got up, and went to discuss the contract.

He hadn't touched the 530 since Qian Hong gave it to him.

His father, Shen Jianguo, was overjoyed. These past few days, he's been driving to work every day, and he's also picking up and dropping off his mother at get off work.

He tells everyone he meets, "Ugh, this car is no good. The steering wheel is too light, it has no feel. My old, secondhand Santana was so much more fun to drive. But my son is so filial, he insisted on buying it, and I couldn't let him down, could I?"

In fact, Shen Fei knew very well that his parents would only be like this for a few days, and once the excitement wore off, it would be over.

It's nothing more than bragging to colleagues and friends. But to actually make them drive to work every day would be too much of a hassle for them. In this small county, driving a car is really not as good as riding an electric bike.

Shen Fei felt it was time to buy his father a car. Although he wouldn't drive it regularly, the couple could still take it for walks around the neighborhood on holidays.

……

Anyuan Garment Building.

Shen Fei met Zhao Dong in the chairman's office on the top floor.

Zhao Dong's attitude was much warmer than last time. He personally brewed Shen Fei a cup of tea and said, "Little Shen, that video of yours really opened my eyes. I have to admit, we old guys are really out of touch with the times."

Shen Fei quickly accepted the tea with both hands, saying modestly, "Uncle Zhao, you flatter me. No matter how sophisticated our internet strategies are, we can't escape the foundation of real-world industries. Without products as good as Anyuan Clothing, no matter how capable I am, I can't generate sales."

"You're too modest, too modest. This is the internet age. A few videos you shoot can earn us one or two months' worth of revenue. We employ so many people, yet you can't even make as much as a few hours of work at home. Times have really changed."

Despite saying that, Zhao Dong still found Shen Fei's words quite agreeable.

This young man is neither arrogant nor impatient, and speaks with maturity; he's truly remarkable!

Thinking of this, Zhao Dong thought of his son again, and felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"Xiao Shen, let me be frank. I have no objection to the 50/50 split you mentioned last time. I called you here today to see your specific proposal."

Shen Fei didn't waste any words. He took out a document, pushed it in front of Zhao Dong, and said, "Uncle Zhao, live-streaming e-commerce, to put it bluntly, tests two things. The first is traffic, and the second is users."

"We don't lack traffic right now. With platform support, each of Song Ting's videos consistently reaches tens of millions of views. So, our focus is on the users."

"How so?" Zhao Dong straightened up.

"What we need to do next is to tell a story, a story that belongs to Anyuan Garment. If Anyuan Garment collaborates with us, we will tell this story through short videos. For example, Anyuan Garment has been committed to employing disabled people for many years and donates clothing to children in mountainous areas every year. These actions of taking social responsibility are the direction of our short video promotion, in order to gain the resonance and recognition of netizens."

Shen Fei looked at Zhao Dong and continued, "We'll turn these stories into short films so netizens can see a company with warmth and compassion. When they resonate with and develop a positive impression of Anyuan Clothing, consumption will naturally follow... We'll also..."

Zhao Dong listened intently; Shen Fei's words had given him great inspiration.

They had indeed done some charity work before, and the factory also had corresponding quotas for supporting disabled people, but these were all to complete some political tasks and obtain some official support. He never thought that this could become a lever to boost sales.

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. This young man not only understood the Internet, but also had a clear understanding of the lifeline of marketing in traditional industries!

He directly stated the core of the whole matter.

Traffic and marketing are both indispensable.

Simply having traffic and then forcing yourself to sell products won't make you much money.

I used to think that live-streaming e-commerce was all about the number of followers, but I never imagined there were so many twists and turns involved.

Zhao Dong took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Xiao Shen, you... you really are a young hero."

He paused for a moment, then said, "That disabled employee you mentioned, we do have such a master craftsman in our factory. He had an accident in the workshop twenty years ago and lost a leg. The factory has been supporting him ever since, and he still helps out in the guardhouse. We also donate clothes every year, but we've never thought to mention it..."
