CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 71 The end of the universe is live-streaming e-commerce!
As the year comes to a close.

This means that 2018 is coming to an end.

The last day of December.

Lu Yiming received a call from home; this was the fifth time he had contacted his family since his rebirth.

His father was a worker in a state-owned factory. After the factory went bankrupt in the early 2000s, he was laid off. He worked as a carpenter and an electrician until a few years ago when he reached retirement age. With the purchase of his years of service and the payment of social security contributions, he finally received a monthly pension of more than 3,000 yuan and was able to retire.

The mother's situation was similar to the father's. The two worked in the same unit and opened a small shop after being laid off. Since it was a business near their home, they couldn't make a lot of money, but it was enough to supplement the family income and support Lu Yiming from elementary school to university.

Regarding the existence of Fu Xiaoli.

The family already knew about it during the third phone call, and this call was to inquire about the couple's plans for the Lunar New Year.

Fu Xiaoli was right next to Lu Yiming when she answered the phone.

The two had already discussed the arrangements for the Chinese New Year.

When Lu Yiming looked at her, Fu Xiaoli smiled and nodded.

After getting the signal.

Lu Yiming said softly, "Mom! This is what Xiaoli and I plan to do! I'll visit her family on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then pick her up to meet you."

Taking Fu Xiaoli home for the Chinese New Year directly is somewhat disrespectful to the woman's family.

Lu Yiming's mother, Liu Lijuan, was very satisfied with the arrangements made for the two of them.

However, she had nothing to talk about with Lu Yiming, her son with whom she had no family ties, so she immediately asked him to hand the phone to Fu Xiaoli.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming also looked helpless.

After graduation, I went to work in Changsha on my own and only went back home for the Chinese New Year. I spent less than ten days at home in a year, which directly led to me becoming the son without family affection in my mother's eyes.

There are reasons why I'm not going back.

Lu Yiming's father had four brothers and sisters, and his father was the eldest.

Their family was the poorest among them, but because his father was the eldest son and lived with his grandmother, the family would usually gather at their house for meals during holidays.

In Lu Yiming's generation, he was considered the least promising member of his family.

The logistics college I attended was all thanks to my second uncle's connections.

Of his two younger brothers and one younger sister, the least successful of the three, all obtained the qualification for targeted training as non-commissioned officers after the college entrance examination. When Lu Yiming started working, this younger brother had already entered the army and was directly awarded the rank of corporal.

As for now.

If he remembered correctly.

This year, my second uncle will bring the good news that his son is going to be promoted to sergeant during the Lunar New Year.

Lu Yiming wasn't actually jealous, but he was upset by the envy on his parents' faces when they heard about the achievements of their sons.

This led Lu Yiming to not want to go home for the holidays, or rather, he used to choose to escape.

But today is different from the past.

Lu Yiming is no longer afraid of being compared to others.

Or you could say you don't care.

After handing the phone to Fu Xiaoli, and hearing her sweetly call his mother "Aunt Liu," Lu Yiming shook his head and walked out of the bedroom.

The two talked on the phone for about half an hour.

Then Fu Xiaoli found Lu Yiming on the living room sofa with her phone, sat down next to him, handed him the phone, and said with a smile, "Auntie said she'd cook a huge feast for me when I get to your house! Hehehe~"

The two have such a harmonious relationship.

Lu Yiming naturally hoped to see this.

However, remembering that he was going to Fu Xiaoli's house, he took the phone and said with a wry smile, "You've definitely passed the test at my house, but when I go to your house..."

Looking at Lu Yiming, whose expression had become complicated.

Fu Xiaoli's face also turned slightly red.

One morning, her mother sent her a video call request, and she answered it without thinking much because she was still sleepy.

This allowed her mother to see not only her, but also Lu Yiming, who was still asleep beside her.

It wasn't until her blurry eyes saw her mother's expression turn strange, and at the same time, half of Lu Yiming's face appeared in the picture.

She then realized what was happening and hurriedly hung up the video call.

But it was too late. Faced with her mother's second phone call, she didn't know what to do.

Until the ringtone woke Lu Yiming.

Upon learning of the situation, Lu Yiming immediately threw off the covers and began to get dressed.

Then they faced her angry mother together.

Seeing Lu Yiming's embarrassed expression, Fu Xiaoli grabbed his arm and said sweetly, "Don't be afraid! I'll be there for you! If your family doesn't agree, I'll elope with you!"

Hear this.

Lu Yiming rolled his eyes.

He immediately and sternly told Fu Xiaoli not to say such things to her family.

Fu Xiaoli stuck out her tongue dismissively.

She was joking, of course, but it wasn't exactly a serious joke. Anyway, she was determined to be with Lu Yiming, and her family's disapproval wouldn't change that.

Seeing Lu Yiming, she still wanted to lecture him.

She changed the subject, saying, "By the way! I'm planning to start a video account with Sun Yawen after the New Year! Do you have any good suggestions?"

Fu Xiaoli has tasted the benefits of short video platforms.

Currently, Lu Yiming's account earns around 20,000 yuan per month, and she even receives private messages asking if she accepts advertising offers.

The highest bid came from an unboxing website.

They said that as long as she put their promotional ads at the end of the video, they would settle the advertising fee according to the number of video views. When Fu Xiaoli estimated that she could earn more than 10,000 yuan in advertising fees per video based on the average number of views of the current video, she excitedly took the relevant information to Lu Yiming.

However, Lu Yiming refused without hesitation.

She stated directly that this was an illegal online gambling advertisement, which terrified her.

Fu Xiaoli has things she wants to do.

Lu Yiming naturally supported it.

Bilibili's current incentive program is indeed profitable, but it's only promising for the next two years. After that, the incentive program will be halved, and the income will be far less than it is now.

However, it will take at least two more years.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yiming said, "I have a suggestion. You two can try creating a cosmetics review account! Record videos testing mainstream cosmetics. In the early stages, focus on the practicality of the products or find affordable alternatives to high-end cosmetics as the selling point of the videos. Later, as you gain more followers, you can start taking advertisements from brands."

Many money-making opportunities only become clear when you're not making money.

This is also the biggest advantage of being reborn.

For example, there was a time when Lu Yiming came across a video of Luo Yonghao tearing into Wang Ziru. Just looking at Wang Ziru in the video, Lu Yiming thought that this person was pretty stupid. Later, it was also big data that led him to come across a video where someone analyzed his rise to wealth.

I was just watching it for fun at the time.

It wasn't until later, when many video bloggers borrowed his business model and achieved some success, that Lu Yiming belatedly realized why he hadn't seized the opportunity back then.

It can be said that this applies to the next few years.

The entire evaluation industry is basically just constantly replicating Wang Ziru's successful template.

From technology reviews to beauty product reviews and even toys, etc.

The core of Wang Ziru's success formula is that third-party reviews not only generate income by accumulating followers, but also by receiving subsidies from upstream manufacturers.
This model can even seamlessly connect to the future era of live-streaming e-commerce.

As the saying goes, the end of the universe is where live-streaming e-commerce ends!

The person who created this model was no mediocre talent.

of course.

His character is truly awful!

With Lu Yiming's suggestion.

That afternoon, Fu Xiaoli approached Sun Yawen.

Cosmetics were not unfamiliar to either of them, and after some discussion, they created an account named Xiaoli Beauty Review that same day.

The two each contributed 10,000 yuan as development funds for their video accounts.

They then began planning their first video, following the ideas provided by Lu Yiming.
