CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

The house is ready for immediate move-in.

The family moved in the following day.

This house is planned to be used by the whole family for the winter.

In fact, this is also a helpless move.

The old saying goes.

A poor man stands at a crossroads wielding ten steel hooks, yet he cannot catch his own flesh and blood; a rich man wields knives, spears, and clubs deep in the mountains, yet he cannot scatter his unrighteous friends.

As Lu Yiming became more and more wealthy in the public eye.

Troubles followed one after another at home.

Even distant relatives will bring gifts to your door and try to establish a connection.

Then came complaints about how unsatisfactory life was.

In the end, they either ask to borrow money or ask for favors.

At first, Lu Yiming's mother believed that since they were all relatives or neighbors, she would help them if she could.

The money was gradually given out, totaling nearly one million.

As for repaying the money, it's not impossible, but after paying off the old debts, they'll start taking out new ones.

They even borrowed money once and then borrowed it again a month later.

The excuse has changed.

But they just wouldn't mention when they would repay the money.

Lu Yiming arranged this trip to Sanya after hearing his mother's complaints. Ostensibly, it was to bring his family to spend the winter, but in reality, it was to escape the year in peace and quiet.

Elevators are a standard feature in luxury homes.

Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli lived in the master bedroom on the second floor.

I had invited my parents-in-law to come over before.

However, both of them politely declined.

Lu Yiming guessed that the two wouldn't come.

However, the invitation process still needs to be followed.

This is a matter of attitude.

Lu Yiming started his broadcast in the evening on New Year's Day.

When the live stream ended.

Many viewers in the live chat suggested that he broadcast outdoors.

After all, it's a rare treat to come to the beach.

Looking at the comments, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Outdoor broadcast? Sure! What kind of content would you like to see?"

The streamer asked viewers about the content of the live stream.

This is quite a bizarre scene.

However, Lu Yiming's fans didn't care and were busy sending messages in the live chat about the shows they wanted to see.

There's a hope that he'll go to the beach to find beautiful women.

Some people also hoped that he could go fishing at sea.

Looking at the comments, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "I understand! Beautiful women and going to sea, right? Give me a few days to prepare! I'll make the arrangements for you then!"

This answer was unexpected by the viewers.

Many viewers flooded the live chat with comments like, "Mr. Lu, are you serious?"

There was no response from Lu Yiming.

Wait until the live stream closes.

Lu Yiming's fans were looking forward to this day.

How much does it cost to rent a yacht?

It just so happens that the property management of his house offers yacht rental services.

After contacting them the following day.

The property management sent someone to deliver a booklet.

Lu Yiming chose the ship marked as being 32 meters long.

A luxury yacht with three decks.

It costs 28,000 yuan to rent it for one hour.

Minimum rental period is three hours.

For sessions exceeding three hours, a 20% discount will be applied.

The ship is equipped with one captain, two sailors/lifeguards, one cook, and two waiters.

The boat looks very small in the picture.

Until they arrived at the port that day.

Once on board, I realized that a 30-meter-long boat accommodating only six people seemed a bit too extravagant.

After boarding the ship, Lu Yiming went directly to the top deck.

Sitting on the sofa, I started the live stream with a gimbal in hand.

The original plan was to start the broadcast at noon.

It's now two hours earlier.

But thousands of people flooded into the live stream within three seconds.

Holy crap! CEO Lu really chartered a boat to go out to sea!!!

Wow! You've really got guts! If I hadn't been scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) at the time, I probably would have missed it!

Why did it start broadcasting early?! Was it canceled?

[Look upstairs! Isn't President Lu on the ship right now?]

[Mr. Lu! You promised there would be beautiful women!]

【.】

The live stream chat room instantly descended into chaos.

Lu Yiming started the live stream mainly to test the network.

This sea voyage is planned to take us to an area ten nautical miles away.

There was no cell phone signal when I got there.

At this point, only the satellite signal on the ship is converted into WIFI.

High-speed networks up to 2G are free.

If the data usage exceeds 1GB, it will be charged at $20 per GB.

Whether it's expensive or not, let's put that aside for now.

Lu Yiming mainly wanted to test whether it could be used for live streaming.

It would be funny if they found out they couldn't do the live stream.

It's set to high definition.

The live stream jumped 30 megabytes in one minute.

It works out to be about 1 GB per hour.

Only then did Lu Yiming see the comments.

He immediately laughed and said, "Beautiful lady? Go change your clothes! You'll see soon enough!"

The words were not finished.

Lu Yiming heard footsteps coming from not far away.

The camera was immediately turned around.

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream also heard it and thought that the beautiful woman Lu Yiming had mentioned was about to appear.

But then a middle-aged man with sunglasses, a full beard, a bare chest and shorts, and a slightly overweight body appeared in the picture.

The visitor had a completely comfortable expression on his face.

Until he saw Lu Yiming holding the gimbal with a wicked grin on his face.

He immediately covered his chest with both hands and said, "Holy crap! Mr. Lu, you're not filming me, are you? Don't do this! The live stream will be banned!"

Live streaming has been strictly monitored recently.

They're so strict that even male anchors aren't allowed to show their nipples.

As soon as the voice came out, everyone on the live stream recognized who it was.

Haha! I thought it was someone else! It's just an eggplant!

[Damn! This Boss Zha said he took leave yesterday because he had something to do, but he just came to visit Boss Lu!]

【.】

The appearance of the eggplant delighted Lu Yiming's fans.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind Eggplant.

The crowd already had a guess about who would arrive next.

soon.

Tuantuan and Mozi walked onto the deck one after the other.

Everyone wore expressions of astonishment.

But footsteps could be heard right behind the two of them.

When Bao Ge and PDD appeared.

This completely set the live stream room ablaze with excitement.

[Holy crap! I'm so mad at you! Brother Bao, you finally showed up!]

[Teacher P is here too! President Lu is here! The two of them have been off-air for more than three months!]

[Waaaaah~ It has to be President Lu! I thought the two of them had gone into the sewing machine!]

【.】

Since the Shark platform controversy began in September.

Bao Ge and PDD haven't streamed for three months.

He appeared in public very few times during that period.

The most recent time was when the two attended Lu Yiming's wedding.

It was taken by someone at the wedding and posted online.

soon.

The news that the two had appeared in Lu Yiming's live stream began to spread like wildfire.

The number of viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream quickly exceeded 100,000.

There are currently no D+ options available.

The live stream announcement was for 12 o'clock.

Lu Yiming didn't even trigger the live broadcast notification, so it's fair to say that he attracted over 100,000 people entirely through word-of-mouth.

The number of people currently online is still increasing at an extremely rapid rate.

Lu Yiming looked at the comments and said to the last two to come on stage, "Brother Bao! PDD! Your viewers are asking when you two will start streaming!"

at this time.

PDD sat down directly opposite Lu Yiming. He pouted at Bao Ge and said, "If Bao Ge starts streaming, I'll start streaming too!"

Lu Yiming remembered that PDD seemed to have said something like that.

The camera then focused on Brother Bao.

Bao Ge said with a grin, "It will air after the New Year! Please wait a little longer!"

Neither of them gave a specific time.

This left the two fans who rushed to the scene quite disappointed.

However, the fact that the two of them appeared in Lu Yiming's live stream already says a lot.

At this point, some viewers suggested that the two players switch to a different platform.

For example, he could follow Lu Yiming's example and start live streaming on Douyin.

The ship hadn't even left port yet, and everyone's phones were still connected to Lu Yiming's live stream. Looking at the comments, PDD laughed and said, "Actually, starting a live stream before the new year isn't out of the question! It mainly depends on what President Lu says."

Hear this.

Bao Ge nodded and looked at Lu Yiming with a smile, "Yes! President Lu is very important!"

This outdoor live stream was scripted.

However, only three people on this ship received the script.

at this time.

Eggplant, Tuantuan, and Mozi all looked at Lu Yiming with curiosity.

I don't know why the two of them said that whether or not they start a live broadcast is related to President Lu.

at the same time.

Shark Platform Headquarters.

Mr. Zhang looked at Yang Chengshun and said, "Let's get started!"

Hearing this, Yang Chengshun nodded.

Then he picked up the landline phone on the table and made a call.

That was after the call ended.

A trending topic quietly climbed into the top twenty.

Then it was like riding a rocket.

Its popularity is soaring, heading towards the top ten.

Major Shareholder Reshuffle at Shark Platform! Mr. Lu Invests 1 Billion Yuan to Become One of the Platform's Largest Shareholders!

Lu Yiming's request was eventually granted.

Or rather, they had no other choice.

Currently, the only one who can save the Shark Platform is Lu Yiming.

They will purchase 30% of the shares for 1 billion.

This is practically the same as giving it away for free.

It's important to understand that Shark Platform isn't short of money; it has over a billion yuan in cash on its books, even after repurchasing some shares. Otherwise, its cash reserves would exceed three billion yuan.

This is still the cash flow after deducting the embezzled funds!
The contract was for 35% of the shares, which amounted to 1 billion.

But this also applies after the contract takes effect.

They then learned that Lu Yiming had acquired approximately five percent of the shares on the secondary market.

This means that Lu Yiming holds approximately 40% of the shares.

It has already exceeded the holdings of the company behind Mr. Zhang.

Currently, Lu Yiming holds 39.8% of the shares in the Shark platform, General Manager Zhang holds 32.7% on his behalf, the stock market holds less than 20%, and the remainder are held by some small shareholders with less than 1% of the shares.

It can be said that Lu Yiming has become the person with the most say on the platform.

When the news suddenly appeared on the trending searches.

Lu Yiming responded to their words, "Don't look at me! Go ahead and broadcast if you want! I'll be back after the New Year anyway!"

Will you be back after the New Year?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's viewers in the live stream were taken aback.

Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, they were overjoyed.

At this time, many people who saw the trending topic rushed to Lu Yiming's live broadcast room.

The news, when combined, immediately caused an uproar in the live stream!

at this time.

The moderators in the live stream displayed a complex expression.

Logically, they should have done something about what Lu Yiming said.

But Lu Yiming is a shareholder!
They dare not
The number of viewers watching the live stream surged to one million by noon that day.

The news that Lu Yiming became a shareholder of the Shark platform also made it into the top three trending topics.

Until 1 p.m.

It miraculously surged to the top of the trending searches.

This infuriated a certain rock singer.

The live stream that day emphasized a relaxed atmosphere.

The live stream didn't have any particularly explosive effects.

However, the fact that these people could appear in the same frame was already considered a phenomenal live stream effect by many viewers.

Not to mention that Lu Yiming actually became a shareholder of the Shark platform.

And he's the largest shareholder!
That night.

US stocks open.

Before the market opened, Shark Platform's market capitalization was $270 million.

The price per share is $0.89.

Ten minutes after the market opened.

The market value increased from 270 million to 550 million dollars.

The price per share rose from $0.89 to $1.78.

100% increase
There are no limits to the rise and fall of US stocks.

In other words, theoretically it can rise indefinitely or fall to nothing.

However, the fluctuations are usually not very large.

It's unlikely that there will be sharp rises or falls.

Just like the Shark platform, it took several months for its stock price to fall below one dollar per share.

The so-called "limit down" is just something netizens are joking about.

In reality, it is the adaptive mechanisms of the US stock market that are controlling the magnitude of stock price declines.

The fact that Lu Yiming has become the largest shareholder and that he stated in a live stream that he will return to the Shark platform after the New Year are both major positive developments.

Doubling your money in ten minutes is practically a basic skill.

In general, when the stock market crashes, institutional investors are the fastest to exit, while most of the investors on the Shark platform are retail investors who are trapped.

The stock price has now rebounded.

Now it's the turn of these trapped retail investors to stand up straight.

They all came down from the rooftop.

Sitting on the sofa.

He brewed a cup of Americano, and the green light reflected from the screen shone on his face, highlighting a cheerful expression.

The market closed in the early morning.

The stock price rose by more than 200% in a single day.

what does this mean?
Lu Yiming purchased 30% of the shares for 1 billion yuan (the extra 5% was promised to be given away for free by General Manager Zhang), and received 4.9% in the secondary market for 100 million yuan.

A total investment of 1.1 billion.

This means that Lu Yiming's initial investment of 1.1 billion yuan has resulted in a current share value exceeding 3 billion yuan.

at this time.

Everyone knows this is just the beginning.

Shark Platform's previous peak stock price was over thirty dollars per share.

However, as the pool of shares in the market shrinks, stock prices will normally decrease. After all, investors of any stock are worried that too many stocks will flood the market at once, and they are very cautious about buying stocks before the market reaches a certain level.

at this time.

They are all waiting for the Shark platform to inject new shares into the stock pool.

Then comes the price increase.

next morning.

PDD and Bao Ge met at the hotel restaurant.

The two sat behind a table.

PDD looked around and, finding no one nearby, leaned forward with a wicked grin and whispered, "Brother Bao~ how much did you buy?"

Upon hearing this, Bao Ge calmly extended a finger.

PDD smiled broadly and flicked out two fingers.

Then Bao Ge said with considerable envy, "You're really something! I actually wanted to buy more, but unfortunately I just don't have enough funds!"

Hear this.

PDD almost burst out laughing.

Just then, Eggplant brought breakfast to their table.

Looking at the two of them, he asked, "What are you chatting about that makes you so happy! Tell me and cheer me up!"

Upon hearing this, PDD looked at Eggplant and asked if he had bought any stocks.

Hear this.

Eggplant said with a strange expression, "The stock market? You can't touch that stuff? Aren't stocks supposed to be the biggest breeding ground for韭菜 (a metaphor for retail investors) in the 21st century?"

Upon hearing this, PDD said with great surprise, "Don't you know that President Lu is returning to Shark Platform?"

Hear this.

Eggplant scratched its head and thought for a moment.

He then nodded and said, "President Lu did mention to me that he might be coming back! But is there a problem with that?"

PDD and Bao Ge's expressions turned strange when they heard the answer "eggplant".

The two of them immediately looked at the eggplant with sympathetic expressions.

This annoyed Eggplant, who said, "Can't you just say what you mean? Your expressions and attitudes are really irritating! It's like you're looking down on my intelligence!"

The two ignored these words.

Lu Yiming had already hinted at it to him.

But the eggplant didn't seize the opportunity.
Since they can't figure out the key point, it's hard to say whether they understand it too well.

After all, these are profits in a gray area.

If you manage to snag one of these bargains, just be happy about it. (End of Chapter)
