Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

At this moment, Shen Fei and Qin Ziyi were heading towards a reservoir deep in the mountains. He had come across a video that morning.

In a reservoir, there were five elderly fishermen who had been fishing for a long time. Their fishing skills were quite good. They had been posting videos for a while now, posting videos every day. However, their videos were like a diary entry, completely lacking any core message. He decided to go over and have a chat with them.

As for Zhao Dong's proposal to buy out Li Yuanyuan's contract, as long as Li Yuanyuan agrees, it doesn't matter. He has a cooperative relationship with the artists under his management, and he is happy to make money together.

It's no big deal if we have to go our separate ways.

……

The next day, in the chairman's office of Anyuan Garment.

Shen Fei and Zhao Dong met for the third time.

Shen Fei took out a document and handed it to Zhao Dong.

"Mr. Zhao, this is Li Yuanyuan's termination contract and her operating cost list."

Zhao Dong picked up the list and began to read it; his pupils contracted sharply.

Without a doubt, the numbers on the list are alarming.

In just over twenty days, a total of fifty videos and nine live streams were produced, and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation quoted a price of one million yuan!

After reading it, he remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Shen, this list is very detailed. However, I have a question: what standard did you use to determine this price?"

Shen Fei smiled and said, "Of course, it's based on market standards."

"Market standards? Mr. Shen, you must be joking. Five thousand for a single photoshoot? Three thousand for a single lead generation? What kind of market standards are those?"

Zhao Dong originally thought that buying out Song Yuanyuan's contract would cost at most a few hundred thousand yuan. It's just a Douyin account, right? A few hundred thousand yuan is already outrageous, okay? Zhao Dong's expression clearly turned ugly.

The results of it?

Shen Fei offered one million, which is clearly an attempt to rip him off. He made such nice promises before, saying that a single live stream slot and short video promotion would cost 400,000, but now he's offering to buy out Song Yuanyuan's account for one million. This is too blatant.

Shen Fei pretended not to see Zhao Dong's expression and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

"Uncle Zhao, calm down. No matter what, the data from Li Yuanyuan's account is right in front of you—tens of millions of views every day. That's incredibly rare across the entire internet. Do you agree with that, Uncle Zhao?"

"That wouldn't cost a million!"

Shen Fei smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhao, do you know what a traffic pool is? Do you know what account weight is? Do you know what the catfish effect is? And..."

Shen Fei put down his teacup and leaned forward slightly: "Did you know that video editing and scriptwriting not only require technical support, but also intellectual support?"

"This one million yuan is not just for our team's operating expenses, but more importantly, it's for the revenue generated by Li Yuanyuan's account. Do you know how much revenue this account can bring us every month? Do you know how much revenue it can bring us in the future? If you think anyone can do it, you can try spending one million yuan yourself and see if you can create an account with one million followers and tens of millions of views every day."

Shen Fei leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and smiled, "If I can make it, I won't take a single penny."

Upon hearing Shen Fei's words, Zhao Dong's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he couldn't utter a single word.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "This list... I will have it evaluated by professionals. If the prices are reasonable, I'll accept it. But if they are unreasonable, we can only reclaim our rights through legitimate means."

Shen Fei chuckled: "Alright, Mr. Zhao, do as you please. But let me make this clear from the start: the list I'm giving you now only covers up to today. The account will continue operating, and costs will keep increasing. By then, Mr. Zhao, please don't complain that the prices are too high."

"What do you mean? Don't provoke me. I'm buying this account, and I don't need you to manage it afterward. I'll have someone evaluate it in the next few days."

"Oh, you don't need us to manage it? No problem. But let me remind you, if the account stops updating, it will lose 10% of its traffic every day, and the account's weight will gradually decrease. It won't be easy to get back to its current traffic level then."

……

After Shen Fei left, Zhao Dong sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

The main reason why Zhao Dong didn't want to take out more than a million yuan was that he wanted to pay for it himself, instead of having Anyuan Garments pay for it.

If the company were to pay for it, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

He plans to establish a media company under Zhao Jun's name, initially leveraging Li Yuanyuan's popularity to boost Anyuan Clothing's sales, then apply for a bank loan, and gradually develop the media company thereafter.

Song Ting's live-streaming sales videos and Shen Fei's previous proposals greatly inspired him. Now that we live in the Internet age, Anyuan Clothing cannot develop without the Internet.

Most importantly, if Anyuan Clothing signs a 30/70 revenue split contract with Li Yuanyuan and then sells through the internet, he can legally and legitimately take money from the company.

His own schemes were not something a mere novice could understand; his actions were beyond the comprehension of anyone who hadn't reached a certain level of expertise.

A lousy TikTok account, made some low-quality videos, and dares to ask for a million? Even robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast!

Although the money was nothing to him, in his eyes, it was just a guy who had just graduated from college and always looked down on him.

If I weren't so ignorant about the internet, I'd be lucky to get 300,000, let alone a million.

Earning 300,000 yuan in just over 20 days, Shen Fei should be satisfied.

……

After leaving Anyuan Building, Shen Fei called Song Ting and asked her to go find Xu Lu together.

After signing Xu Lu, Shen Fei didn't chat with her at all, simply because he was too busy.

Now that Zhao Dong's storyline has stopped, it gives me time to work on Xu Lu.

The popularity of the "Stocking Goddess" is far beyond what Li Yuanyuan can match.

As for the price Li Yuanyuan asked for to buy out the contract, it was by no means an exorbitant amount; in fact, it could be said to be extremely cost-effective.

One million? That's not much at all.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the strategy. Zhao Dong thought he was buying an account, but in reality, he was buying a proven business monetization model.

Li Yuanyuan's account, during the twenty-odd days of cooperation with the used car dealership, brought the company a net profit of over 300,000 yuan just from the GG fee and car sales commission, not even counting the value of the account itself.

The value of a mature account with a stable traffic pool cannot be simply measured by the number of followers.

Of course, Shen Fei is not responsible for how much value this account can bring to Zhao Dong.

Shen Fei took out his phone and dialed Li Yuanyuan's number.

"There's something I need to tell you. Zhao Dong wants to buy out your contract, you know that, right?"

"I...I know, my uncle told me."

"Okay. Before the contract is officially finalized, you are still an artist under Feiyu Media and cannot accept any commercial activities on your own. Please read the contract terms carefully. Also, I just had the finance department calculate your live streaming and GG revenue sharing during this period. It's 150,000 yuan, and it's already been transferred to your account. Please check it yourself."

Li Yuanyuan was silent for a while on the other end of the phone.

"...Mr. Shen, thank you."

In just a few short months, Li Yuanyuan felt as if she had been on a roller coaster.

From initially looking down on Shen Fei, to being signed by him and witnessing firsthand his ability to turn lead into gold in the short video industry... she now only feels awe towards Shen Fei; this man is more capable than anyone she has ever met.

"President Shen..." Li Yuanyuan took a deep breath and lowered her voice, "I...I'm pregnant with Zhao Jun's child."
