CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 134 of Battle Through the Heavens is now available! It garnered over 10,000 favorites on its first day!
After reading the latest developments of Diting.

Lu Yiming said goodbye to the two and went to Xu Yujing's side.

Having received word that Lu Yiming was coming, Xu Yujing had prepared the materials she needed to report in advance.

Actually, there is nothing good to see.

She had already reported the news beforehand.

The excitement from the carnival a few days ago is still going strong, with daily livestream sales reaching around two million.

This may seem like a lot, but for top-tier livestreaming e-commerce hosts in the future, it could simply be about creating one blockbuster product during a single livestream.
But this is already pretty good.

It's amazing that it can operate to this extent right now.

Besides Lu Yiming's efforts in attracting traffic, Xu Yujing's contributions also played a significant role.

I learned this from Zheng Huacai.

She hasn't taken a single day off in almost two months.

After she finished her report.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "That's good! I'm very relieved to have the company in your hands. I heard you haven't had a break in two months? Take a few days off and rest!"

The words fell.

Xu Yujing wanted to say something.

Lu Yiming interrupted, "This is an order! From now on, you must have at least two consecutive days off every month!"

Seeing how assertive Lu Yiming was.

Xu Yujing swallowed the words she wanted to say.

He then thanked him gratefully and handed a document to Lu Yiming, saying, "This is the proposal you requested, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's eyes lit up.

Regarding how to use comics to drive traffic to the novel, Lu Yiming only had ideas but no concrete plans, so he arranged for Xu Yujing to help with the planning.

At this moment, Lu Yiming opened the document.

Xu Yujing said softly, "Boss, your idea is feasible. My plan is also based on your idea but with some changes. Instead of using a single account to drive traffic, we will use a matrix approach to increase exposure. This can reduce the CPM to some extent."

Lu Yiming's idea was to turn comics into videos and then operate a video account. The official price per minute (CPM) is 500, but since they are a corporate partner, the price can be reduced to 200.

CPM refers to the price per thousand impressions.

This means that he can spend two million to buy ten million views for his video.

Xu Yujing felt that the two million was too much.

It can be exposed through multiple channels such as Xiaohongshu and Kuaishou in a matrix-style manner.

The exposure remains at ten million.

However, it can be acquired for only one million.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Okay! Let's do it your way! This matter is... uh."

Lu Yiming was stunned after he said that.

After all, we had just told her to rest, and then immediately added new burdens to her. This is a bit too much.

They could also see Lu Yiming's embarrassment.

Xu Yujing chuckled.

He then said softly, "Leave it to me! I've been handling this all along!"

Xu Yujing is in charge of all the operational work.

This includes the Douyin accounts of three people: Tuantuan, Mozi, and Lu Yiming.

After all, she was the one who built the team.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had too few people he could use.

Back in the car.

Lu Yiming opened the data panel.

My attention was drawn to the second-tier secondary occupation column.

Secondary occupation (2): Online novelist (C-level 1821210/11000000)
Since the completion of the novel "Zhu Xian", the number of subscriptions has increased by hundreds of thousands in the past few months.

But this is just a drop in the ocean when it comes to upgrading.

At this moment, he sighed, "I hope the plan will succeed!"

...Divider line...

For newly-minted voice actors, the price for one episode of a TV series is around 100-300 yuan.

High-quality, experienced voice actors earn between four and five figures in salary. They generally earn even more for films, with some films fetching tens of thousands of dollars.

But for the dubbing industry as a whole...

Those who can get these kinds of orders are all top-tier individuals.

It can be said that all industries, large and small, in China are currently experiencing severe involution.

Under Zheng Huacai's arrangement.

Fu Xiaoli and the core members of the entire comic studio involved in the comic drawing spent the next few days selecting suitable voices for the characters in the comic.

There were only a few characters who appeared in the early stages of Battle Through the Heavens.

After three days of confirmation.

A total of six voice actors were signed for the Doupo comic.

Say something.

Lu Yiming originally thought this would increase operating costs significantly.

But after seeing Zheng Huacai's estimate that the total budget for recording eight episodes per month was only 15,000.

They bluntly said this industry is really cheap.

Is it cheap?
It's not cheap at all!

In fact, because a long-term cooperation contract was signed, the price for several people to record one episode was higher than the market price.

When choosing an industry, you shouldn't just look at high salaries.

Most of them could barely make ends meet.

Eight chapters of Battle Through the Heavens can be drawn in a month.

It's impossible for all six of them to have the opportunity to participate in the content of these eight episodes.

This also happened after the voice actors were confirmed.

They immediately began arranging the recording of the voice-over portion.

Compared to lip-syncing in movies and TV shows, dubbing comics is much easier. The narrator is probably the one who earns the most money among these six people, as he basically appears in every episode.

9:00 AM on July 13th.

Doupo is now available on the online novel platform.

Unlike other new books that are released with only a few chapters, Doupo was updated with twenty chapters immediately upon release, totaling approximately 50,000 words.

ten o'clock.

After Lu Yiming received the approval message from the website.

He dialed Xu Yujing's number and said with a smile, "We can begin!"

Lu Yiming had been preparing for this day for more than two months.

Now is the time to prove its feasibility.

After receiving the message, Xu Yujing...

We immediately began a matrix-style promotion.

Simultaneous promotion began on platforms including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Kuaishou, WeChat official accounts, Weibo, news websites, etc.

The first five episodes of Battle Through the Heavens were posted on a pre-registered Douyin account.

Then, we arranged for pre-arranged marketing accounts to repost the message.

Cen Xiuhui.

Lu Yiming's contracted editor.

However, Doupo is not currently using the pen name that was used to publish Zhuxian.

As an editor at Zhongdian Novel Network.

Saturday is a day off.

But at this moment, she was lying on the bed with a netbook on her chest, constantly refreshing the background interface of Doupo since ten o'clock.

Ten minutes passed.

I have collected over a hundred items.

An hour passed.

The number of favorites has reached 1,400!

At this moment, her lips were slightly parted, and her face showed a look of surprise.

What does 1,400 collections per hour mean?
Even excluding the evening, there are at least 10,000 favorites in a single day!
On the Zhidian Novel Network, the period from the new book launch to its official release is generally around fifty days. It's considered very good if two out of ten books released can get over 10,000 favorites.

The madness continues.

The time came to noon.

The number of favorites exceeded 5,000 in just two hours.

She finally couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! How did they do that?"

This kind of thing can actually be done by manipulating data.

However, she did not believe that Lu Yiming would use this method, as the data generated by artificially inflating figures could be identified through the backend system to determine if it violated regulations.

To put it bluntly, all those clicks are just ineffective favorites.

Aside from being visually appealing, it serves no practical purpose. Even if you manage to get 100,000 favorites, the editors won't give you any recommendations if they see that you've only actually read a few dozen.

at this time.

Cen Xiuhui opened the editing backend.

Seeing the completion rate confirmed her idea.

No hesitation.

He sent a private message to Lu Yiming directly.

She knew Lu Yiming wouldn't sign, but that didn't stop her from doing it. As long as she sent out the signing invitation first, no other editor could get the book signed without her for a week.

at this time.

She couldn't help but think about how the editor-in-chief would react to such a book when she went to work on Monday.

On the first day of a new book's release.

A book that achieved 10,000 favorites on its first day without any resources from the platform!
You have to understand that for a platform to generate 10,000 sales on its first day, it needs to be very effective.

It requires recommendations from several channels, and the author must also be a top-tier, highly regarded author.

. . . . . .

One p.m.

The Ninth Group of Writers on the Endpoint Novel Network.

This is a group of 1,000 people.

[Rat-a-tat-tat: Screenshot!]

[Tofu with Sugar: Bro! This picture is photoshopped pretty well! It's okay to fool your buddies, but don't get fooled yourself!]

[Rat-a-tat-tat: Screenshot! Screenshot! Screenshot!]

The first screenshot is the honors section of the work.

The catalog starts with a cumulative total of 300 favorites.

Until it reached 5,000 favorites.

All of them show as being from today.

Furthermore, the lack of monthly passes indicates that this book is not under contract. How can an uncontracted book reach 5,000 favorites in a single day?

Its authenticity is inevitably questioned.

However, the next three screenshots included the book title, author's name, and chapter publication time.

The author in the group confirmed it.

Then it exploded!
[Holy crap! What's going on with this book? The first chapter was updated this morning, and then twenty more chapters were released in a row?!]

Are twenty images the key point? What's going on with this collection?

[Battle Through the Heavens? I think I saw it on Douyin around noon. I thought it was a manga adaptation of a fantasy novel by a famous author, but it turns out to be a new book!]

[D-yin? Shouldn't it be Xiaohongshu? I found it on Xiaohongshu!]

[Holy crap! You guys need to check this out! It's reached 10,000 views! 10,000 favorites!]

[Screenshot! Incredible! Is this probably that Platinum's alt account? 10,000 favorites in a day, that's insane!]

[Waaaaah! Ten thousand a day! My best-selling item only makes four thousand!!!]

【.】

The novel circle is not large.

Group Nine is just one of them.

That afternoon, the entire Endpoint Novel Network was discussing this phenomenal book that had garnered over 10,000 favorites in just over four hours.

soon.

The discussion was conducted in groups.

After a post titled "The Ultimate Divine Book! New Book Battle Through the Heavens! 10,000 Reads in Three Hours!" appeared on Longkong.

Thousands of authors converged on this post.

Longkong is the largest online discussion site related to online novels in China.

Basically, anyone working as an online writer, whether on the main platform or other platforms, will occasionally visit this website.

Especially when there's some juicy gossip to share.

[This is outrageous! 10,000 views in three hours? Even platinum authors can't do that! Is this author using fake reviews? This is so obvious! I bet this book will be taken down by Monday when the editors come back to work.]

[It shouldn't be fake reviews. I saw promotional material for "Battle Through the Heavens" on Weibo, but can a novel really be promoted like this? 10,000 yuan in three hours is too outrageous, isn't it?]

[I suggest you search for "Battle Through the Heavens" on Douyin. The first video on that channel has already surpassed one million views, and a 1% conversion rate seems pretty good! By the way, Douyin's CPM is 500, right? One million means they spent 50,000 on promotion? I can only say amazing!] [I estimate it's more than 50,000; I've seen their promotional copy on Kuaishou too.]

[Is this author crazy? Promotion costs must be at least 100,000 yuan. Can this book even make 100,000 yuan?]

[The goal is 5 cents per thousand words, 50 cents per 10,000 words, and 50 yuan per million words. The platform takes half, and taxes 11.2%. As long as you write one million words and get an average of 4,000 subscriptions, you'll break even.]

[Easier said than done, four thousand average subscriptions! There are only a few thousand truly high-quality books on the entire platform that reach three thousand average subscriptions.]

【.】

The post was published at 1:30.

By 3 p.m., the building had surpassed 1,000 floors.

However, in just two and a half hours, Doupo's collection count surpassed 20,000.

As soon as this news came out.

The entire online literature community was in an uproar!
The time came Monday.

As usual, Cen Xiuhui clocked in for work at 9:55 a.m.

However, just after she sat down at her workstation...

The cushion hadn't even warmed up yet.

The editor-in-chief's secretary came to find her.

The editor-in-chief's office is right next door.

After a knock on the door, a steady "Come in" was heard.

Cen Xiuhui pushed open the door and looked at the middle-aged man inside, saying quite respectfully, "Editor-in-Chief~ You wanted to see me!"

Xiang Zhijian.

Editor-in-Chief of Group Nine on the Endpoint Novel Network.

He nodded and gestured for Ju Zi to sit down in front of him.

He then turned the computer screen around to face Ju Zi and said, "Was this book written by one of your authors?"

Cen Xiuhui's gaze swept to the screen.

It can be seen that this is the main interface of the Doupo platform.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes! It's the author I spoke with you about before, Editor-in-Chief!"

hiss~
It has been confirmed.

Xiang Zhijian gasped.

He arrived at the company an hour earlier because he needed to attend a meeting.

The meeting was about the book "Battle Through the Heavens".

Short video traffic generation is not uncommon, but the results have been very limited; in other words, the investment and returns are disproportionate.

Just like TikTok's CPM is as high as 500, although it can be negotiated down to 200, it still has to be 200.

Two hundred yuan for a thousand impressions—that might translate into only one in a hundred, or even less than one in a thousand, on the platform.

Just like the author of Battle Through the Heavens.

The first video reached five million views in just one day, but only more than 40,000 of them were actually saved as bookmarks, which is considered a relatively high conversion rate.

They don't know exactly how much the author spent, but they estimate it to be at least 500,000.

Is all this investment just to make the platform regress?

This is why Xiang Zhijian gasped in shock.

This person is either crazy or has extreme confidence in their work.

But it doesn't matter which one it is.

His behavior is harmless to the platform; in fact, it's a form of advertising for the platform, since the work states that the book will be updated at their end.

At this moment, Xiang Zhijian looked at Cen Xiuhui and said, "He only signed an electronic copyright agreement, right?"

Hearing this, Cen Xiuhui nodded.

Xiang Zhijian pondered for a long time.

He then said, "Sure! But there's one condition! The digital rights to the comics also need to be placed on our platform! I can promise to give him two Tier 0 promotional slots this month, but that doesn't include our promotion of his comic works!"

T0 level promotion slot.

Even among the top 100 bestselling authors, there is only one per month.

Only those in the top ten best-selling products have the opportunity to receive multiple awards.

soon.

Cen Xiuhui relayed Xiang Zhijian's words to Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming, who was playing a game, was amused when he saw the message.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Two Tier 0 recommendations? Looks like you've got it all figured out, bro!"

A top-ten bestseller can bring in at least tens of thousands of yuan in revenue for a book. This revenue is mainly based on the number of words. Some books with a lot of words can even see their revenue increase by 0 yuan due to the recommendation.

It can be said that the price Xiang Zhijian offered was quite good.

However, what Lu Yiming was after wasn't the money, but the number of subscriptions brought by the recommendation slots. To put it bluntly, the reason he spent so much money and made it so complicated was simply to increase the number of subscriptions.

Take Battle Through the Heavens as an example.

There are over a thousand chapters in total.

If the average daily subscription reaches 10,000, he can directly upgrade from level C to level B.

This is much better than him following the established procedures.

Posting one or two chapters a day would be much faster.

As for the digital rights to the comics, knowing the nature of all the platforms currently on the market, as long as the ultimate goal is simply to obtain the digital rights, Lu Yiming can certainly give them to him.

However, Lu Yiming was not satisfied with only two T0s.

At this moment, he started replying to Cen Xiuhui's messages.

Cen Xiuhui sat opposite Xiang Zhijian's desk.

How awkward it is to sit face-to-face with your boss.

All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long for news from Lu Yiming.

At this moment, Xiang Zhijian saw that Cen Xiuhui was looking down at the contents of her phone.

He was quite satisfied with the price he had set.

Smiling, he asked, "What do you mean? Do you agree?"

Upon hearing the sound, Cen Xiuhui slowly raised her head.

He said with an embarrassed expression, "He said he needs at least seven Tier 0 promotions, plus a month's worth of app portal promotion slots!"

Hear this.

Xiang Zhijian frowned.

Lu Yiming's greed angered him.

But then Cen Xiuhui's words stunned him.

"He also said that if I agree, my book will receive millions in donations on the day it goes on sale after the contract is signed, and he will invite well-known game streamers to help promote it."

After Cen Xiuhui finished speaking.

There seems to be a problem.

He then added, "It's one million! Not one million coins!"

One million coins on the platform is worth ten thousand yuan, and one million coins is equivalent to a billion-coin alliance, which is the highest milestone honor for an author.

Even if you tip yourself, it's the same.

Ultimately, Xiang Zhijian was able to offer Lu Yiming this condition.

It happened after the morning meeting.

He received authorization from higher-ups.

However, this authorization is also limited; he cannot agree to conditions that exceed the scope of this authorization.

As for the reasons behind the granting of this order by higher-ups.

That's what he didn't know.

It has to be said that this person's actions are truly outrageous.

If you previously thought this person was somewhat greedy, that feeling completely disappeared after these two conditions were met.

It can be said that these two conditions are equivalent to his requirements.

But this was no longer a decision he could make.

Xiang Zhijian immediately stood up and said, "Don't move! I'll be right back! Just tell him I'm going to ask the leader for permission!"

I felt like I was taken advantage of.
But Cen Xiuhui still nodded.

Cheng Weiming.

The newly appointed vice president of the terminal novel website.

He was appointed directly by the board of directors more than two weeks ago.

at this time.

There was a knock on his office door.

Hearing the sound, he frowned.

After pressing the side mouse button, he said, "Bro! I have something to do, could you pause this for me later?"

The words fell.

He turned off the power to the screen and, after muting his microphone, said in a deep voice, "Please come in!"

Subsequently.

Xiang Zhijian brought Lu Yiming's demands.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Weiming replied without much thought, "Okay! Let's do as he says!"

Forehead.
Xiang Zhijian didn't expect the new leader to agree so easily.

He was immediately stunned.

Upon seeing the displeasure on the new leader's face, he immediately nodded and left the office.

at this time.

Cheng Weiming watched him leave.

Then I put my headphones back on and turned on the screen.

He said into the microphone, "President Lu? Is the writer of your novel reliable? What if it falls apart later on, and we don't even recoup the costs?"

Cheng Weiming is none other than Brother Cheng from Lu Yiming's live stream.

It was only this morning, after seeing Lu Yiming's author information and contacting Lu Yiming to confirm, that I realized he was the author.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I still have confidence in my own work!"

Hear this.

Cheng Wei rolled his eyes.

He immediately retorted without holding back, "Come on! If you were that good, how did you manage to build a 3,000 yuan computer when you were broke last year? By the way, how did you even build that 3,000 yuan computer? It even came with peripherals and a monitor! I really admire you!"

Brother Cheng is a high-ranking executive at the Endpoint Novel Network.

This was something Lu Yiming hadn't expected.

However, it's not surprising, given the presence of the Heavenly Favor skill.

Liu Xiu was able to summon a meteorite to save him in a life-or-death situation. What happened to his friend on the online novel website?
He then laughed and said, "You've been hiding it well! I just found out you're a senior executive at Qidian.com!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Weiming rolled his eyes again.

He complained, "Come on! Who would want to be that kind of person? There's no freedom at all! Going to work every day is like being in prison! I don't want to stay at this crappy company for even a day longer! I'd rather be a salesperson at another company back home, someone who has to travel all over the country!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's lips twitched.

What a different company.

With Cheng Weiming's approval.

Xiang Zhijian could naturally agree to the conditions proposed by Lu Yiming.

However, Lu Yiming did not talk to him himself, but instead gave him Cao Siyun's contact information.

Subsequently.

Both parties reached a cooperation agreement on the same day.

The contract was signed by Cao Siyun on behalf of Lu Yiming at the Shark Platform headquarters the following day.

Battle Through the Heavens was added to the library at 10:00 AM on July 13th. 50,000 words were updated that day, and it has been updated for three consecutive days up to today, the 15th, for a total of 100,000 words. The number of favorites has exceeded 50,000.

100,000 words in three days.

Even the authors on the Delu platform felt inferior.

But this is just the beginning.

Subsequently, Doupo, a book considered a masterpiece by readers, maintained an update speed of ten chapters per day. After updating to the hundredth chapter on the ninth day, a post-release message was added.

He updated more than 200,000 words in nine days.

This is absolutely insane.

Readers and fellow authors watched as this book surpassed 100,000 favorites!
Meanwhile, after the status was changed to "signed" on Tuesday, the platform also provided a lot of promotional resources, and the cover of the Doupo book was displayed as soon as the APP was opened.

In addition, there are many featured spots that are only available to best-selling products.

This book is the "father" of the Endpoint Novel Network, as named by Longkong!

Even the most beloved son, Platinum, doesn't receive this treatment!
However, at the same time, I was also amazed by how amazing this author was.

After all, it's rumored online that this author invested no less than a million yuan in promotional resources to generate buzz for his new book.

All of the above.

Everyone is very curious about how well the book will perform after it goes on sale tomorrow.

Ten thousand words will be updated today.

There are currently 8000 words missing.

Requesting monthly votes! Requesting recommendation votes!
