Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 81 Learning by Doing

"Lin Lang, when do you need the money? I'd like to transfer it to you now, but..."

"what happened?"

"But you have to buy the same thing as me. You said before that you would borrow money from me at the end of the year. After the money is in your account, you have to buy the same thing as me. We'll see how much money you have left at the end of the year. That money will be all the money I've lent you."

"What if we lose money?"

"If you lose money, then calculate it as if you lose money."

Lin Lang understood. It meant that Shen An'an had transferred one million US dollars to him, and he wanted to continue buying according to Shen An'an's previous instructions.

If by the end of the year, this one million dollars becomes two million dollars, then Shen An'an will lend him two million dollars.

If it becomes $500,000, then it's considered a loan of $500,000.

"Okay, then cash out a little and transfer it to my account."

"okay!"

……

Lin Lang arrived at Tianshui Duck Industry's live broadcast room in ten minutes.

Yun Yiyi has arrived and is checking various live streaming equipment.

At the same time, Qin Dong also called over a dozen employees as Lin Lang had requested.

In the adjacent lounge, the charity's notary personnel were already in place.

After Lin Lang went over to check for a while, he received a message from Shen An'an.

"I've got everything sorted out. It's a total of two million three hundred and sixty thousand US dollars. I've transferred it to you."

"Okay, I'll continue buying according to the contract you bought before, and I'll show it to you at the end of the year."

"Okay, it's fine even if we lose everything. Also, I'm going to Ziyun Mountain to visit my parents tomorrow, so remember to have a few meals at Sister Bing's place, and have some for me too."

“Ziyun Mountain is very close, we can come back and have a meal together anytime you have time.”

"Ah."

After a brief exchange, Lin Lang downloaded Binance and transferred all the money from his USD account into it.

This platform has malfunctioned quite a few times, but it's not a big problem for him because he has too much money in it.

The reason he agreed to let Shen An'an transfer the account was because now that he had an account, he could operate it himself.

The account used to belong to Shen An'an, and he couldn't possibly monitor it every day. Now we can leverage it again.

With double the principal, further leverage can lead to even greater profit potential.

If you open a short position worth ten million dollars when the price of Bitcoin is eight thousand, and then wait for the price of Bitcoin to drop to four thousand, you will make four million dollars.

Now, he can open a short position of $23 million when Bitcoin is at $6,800.

When Bitcoin drops to $4,000, he could theoretically earn another $717 million.

If you repay your short positions for every 10 points you earn, and then continue to leverage your principal, the returns will be even greater.

Similar to the compound interest model.

Around 7:30, Lin Lang went to confirm with Yun Yiyi again and asked her to conduct the rehearsal without going live, and also asked the employees of Tianshui Duck Industry around her to cooperate.

Behind Yunyiyi, there is a large screen that displays real-time sales figures.

As for the video that Yun Yiyi posted at 4 PM, it has already garnered eight million views and over 180,000 shares.

This data shows that the video worked, and even if some 'sane' people think there's a problem, it's not a big deal.

Because Lin Lang has a second move.

At this moment, more than a hundred online trolls were ready to go, and they all found the video posted by Yun Yiyi and started leaving comments in the comment section.

"Sisters, I know you have kind hearts, but you may not like eating Tianshui Duck Industry's products. I really like them, but I can't usually afford them. Could you send me some of the ones you don't like?"

"Female college student, I'm really craving their duck legs. Is there anyone kind enough who doesn't like them to write down my address?"

"185cm tall, pure-looking male, with abs. Ladies, fill in my address and I'll send you a picture of his abs."

"36D female college student..."

……

Lin Lang considered that some people had no interest in Tianshui Duck Industry's products, but were simply interested in charity, so he arranged for this wave of online trolls.

To be honest, Lin Lang liked to eat these things in his past life, but he doesn't like them now.

Judging others by one's own standards is certainly not uncommon.

Especially for women in their forties and fifties, you can spend thousands or tens of thousands of yuan to release animals, but if you ask them to buy thousands of yuan worth of cooked food to take home, they would probably complain that it takes up too much space.

The comment section was quickly swayed by online trolls, with many onlookers joining in, copying and pasting comments like crazy.

In the last half hour of the broadcast, tens of thousands of comments flooded the comment section, and they were all 'begging'.

Most people treat it as a joke, but quite a few take it seriously.

Lin Lang used a secondary account and received a private message from an auntie: "Young man, if you want to eat, Auntie will buy it for you later. You said you have six-pack abs? Show Auntie..."

After Lin Lang followed that aunt, he searched for a picture online and sent it to her. The aunt quickly replied.

"Young man, you're in great shape. Where are you from?"

"How much do you want? Auntie will buy you a thousand yuan's worth, how about you give Auntie your address?"

"Oh, and the phone."

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Young man, please don't ignore this auntie."

"Auntie can buy a little more, how about I buy you three thousand yuan worth? Can you take a video for Auntie to see..."

"Please tell your aunt something, she's been scared out of her wits ever since she saw you..."

"You're disgusted with your aunt?"

……

Lin Lang swore that he only posted one message.

Moreover, this account was newly registered and hasn't posted any photos or anything.

People are even messaging me privately?
He realized there was a problem; the pace might have been a bit too fast.

The reason why Douyin has transformed into a platform for everyone is simply because of its extremely strong social attributes.

Behind the social attributes lies the social desire of over a billion people.

Especially among middle-aged and elderly people, their desires are too strong.

Any short video platform targeting middle-aged and elderly people can make a fortune with its terrible ads and shameless dialogue.

Current new media novels, future short dramas...

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been an old man who saw a female internet celebrity's confession online, believed it to be true, and then went to wait for her to come and be his wife...

In real life, people are concerned about saving face, but they go wild and unrestrained online.

Who knows, some of the female streamers calling out "Mom" in the comments section might actually be a man in his sixties or seventies.

Delete comments! Delete comments!
Lin Lang decided to take it easy; the live stream had already started.

He can also log into Yun Yiyi's account and delete comments.

First, he activated the mute mode, then deleted the posts with the most likes. He never imagined that he, a reborn person, would start learning through doing.

In the live stream, Yun Yiyi first posted the store link, and then started chatting.

Ensure that users who enter the live stream can make purchases at any time.

Lin Lang didn't pay attention to the number of people in the live stream; he only glanced at it at the beginning and saw 19,000 people.

After he had been busy for half an hour and his hands were sore, he switched to the live stream with another account and found that there were already 130,000 people in the live stream.

The current maximum displayed value in the live stream is one million, unlike later versions where it was changed to one hundred thousand and then stopped displaying, only available through older versions.

The display screen behind Yun Yiyi showed a transaction amount of over nine million.

The reason for setting up tiered donation data is mainly to ensure that the rhythm of the entire live broadcast remains unbroken.

Especially when they are very close to the stairs, a group of crazy users often appear.

With just a few hundred thousand short, donations could increase by millions, making the orders placed seem more meaningful.

When sales reached over nine million, Lin Lang specifically instructed the counter to slow down its data refresh rate, updating only a few thousand or tens of thousands at a time...

When the number was only a few hundred thousand away from ten million, it suddenly refreshed its value.

Then... the number surged to fourteen million.

Yun Yiyi was moved to tears in the live stream, bowing repeatedly to everyone, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Whether it's true or not, who knows?

Anyway, when someone kneels down and says "welcome home," countless people are moved to tears, willing to endure any hardship.

Yun Yiyi seemed much more sincere.

The employees of Tianshui Duck Industry would occasionally shout in unison, "Fifteen million!"

After it jumps directly to 15 million, the threshold will be lowered.

After all, for live streaming, the less time that could easily dampen the audience's emotions, the better.

The period between ten million and fifteen million is the easiest time to lower one's spirits, but Lin Lang's actions have allowed him to skip that point entirely.

While a drop in morale might occur to some extent from the amount between 15 million and 19 million, this is unavoidable.

After all, there are bound to be many people who place orders at the last minute, and people will feel empathy for them.

It's like watching a live stream of a PvP match. You're thinking of stealing the tower in the last three seconds, and then someone else steals it, and you think it's normal.

People are prone to agreeing with what they've thought, even if they disagree.

For example, if you encounter a king cobra in the wild and someone says it's eight meters long, and you feel that it's also very long, then you subconsciously believe the number eight meters. Even if someone throws a world record in your face, you might still stubbornly insist that just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Does a world record necessarily mean it's the largest?
At this point, it's necessary to increase the refresh rate, and the orders Qin Dong prepared came in handy.

When it reached nearly 20 million, the refresh rate continued to decrease. When it was less than one million away from 20 million, the refresh rate became extremely slow, taking a full five minutes before it officially broke through the 20 million mark. Moreover, it soared to 23 million in a very short time.

The live stream has been going on for almost an hour, and the number of viewers is still increasing.

Everyone was celebrating the breakthrough in the numbers, and even those who hadn't placed an order felt honored to witness it.

Needless to say, many people who placed orders directly shared their acts of kindness on social media.

Qin Dong, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Because... even if 30% is donated, Tianshui Duck Industry can still make a profit on this batch of goods.

They usually sell them at a 100% gross profit margin.

To avoid losing money, at least 50% of the selling price must be donated.

The reality is that he couldn't sell them even when he was losing money.

And now, in just one hour, it sold for 20 million at a 'high price'.

He's seen a lot in his life, and a mere ten or twenty million shouldn't have had much of an impact on him.

But he couldn't contain his excitement; he was extremely excited.

Because he felt... the Tianshui duck industry was thriving!
If he could save the Tianshui duck industry, he wouldn't have run away.

This is a stable source of profit that can bring a steady stream of wealth to the family and ensure that he will always be a big shot in the county.

Why would he give it up unless absolutely necessary?

Even if only one such live stream is held once a month, Tianshui duck industry can slowly recover.

Even at its peak, Tianshui duck industry never reached such heights if there were two such events a month.

"Manager Lin, how many of these live streams can you do in a month?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Lin Lang said, "President Qin, there will only be this one event for the next year. However, in the next three months, our Dayu Media will shoot some footage for Teacher Yun to increase the exposure of Tianshui Duck Industry and achieve the goal of increasing sales by ten to twenty million yuan a year, as agreed in our previous contract..."

Qin Dong: "..."

Tens of millions a year?
He wants 20 million per hour!

With an annual income of 10 to 20 million, plus this live stream, the total annual income is only a little over 40 million. This is not very useful for Tianshui duck industry, and the profits are not enough to cover Lin Lang's 5 million expenses.

If it's not profitable, who would play such a big game?

"Manager Lin, surely you can't be that absolute?"

"President Qin, we really can't do that. This is like a rope being pulled too tight; it could snap at any moment. Too much of this could backfire and cause a backlash from the traffic. But... since it's already this hot today, President Qin can just go up and say he's moved by the netizens, and that to break 30 million, he'll forgo all profits, company operating costs, personnel costs, donate 40% of sales, and sell all products at cost price..."

Qin Dong: "..."

Twenty minutes later, sales reached 26 million, almost freezing, and refreshing the page only increased sales by a few hundred.

Qin Dong went up...

Forty minutes later, the number stopped at thirty-six million.

After the live stream ended, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed Qin Dong signing a confirmation agreement with the Charity Federation.

Yun Yiyi's voice was hoarse, and she was exhausted.

Two hours or so was a huge challenge for her.

After the live stream ended, Lin Lang said a few words to Yun Yiyi and then left.

He felt a little unwell because the woman had sent him some somewhat nauseating photos.

He just had a bad habit of touching things!

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Why would you click on it?
Grass!
……

Qin Dong took Yun Yiyi to get something to eat.

Even if there are inflated figures and returns, he's not really afraid of sales of 36 million.

Because... he hasn't donated any money yet.

The donation amount will be determined based on the final revenue, but it will simply be based on a 40% ratio.

He was now very excited. Looking at the exhausted Yun Yiyi, he realized for the first time that Yun Yiyi's wealth was so astonishing.

"Yiyi, you've really worked hard this time. I'll ask the school for leave for you. You can go out and have some fun for the next two weeks, relax a bit, and let Haiyang be your driver."

"No need, Uncle, I'm fine."

“If you’re free, I’ll definitely listen to you. But Lin Lang said there won’t be any more live streams like today. I’m planning to set up a separate live stream team for you, just like Lin Lang’s schedule. All the money that was originally supposed to go to Lin Lang will be yours. What do you think?”
