Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

A mysterious tycoon gifted over 20 million yuan to Huo Wanxi's live stream.

In this age of information overload, it's impossible for such a thing to remain unknown to the world.

The recorded video of Meng Chuan and Sun Yishan vying to give virtual gifts last night is already circulating everywhere.

After all, nobody wants to miss this opportunity to gain attention.

Although, normally, as long as the data of Douyin is not exposed.

Nobody knows that the ID "[Meng Po won't give me soup]" is Meng Chuan.

However, while others were unaware, Liu Qian was.

After all, Liu Qian was involved in Meng Chuan's investment in Douyin from the very beginning.

When Douyin (TikTok) was launched, Liu Qian registered an account as soon as she found out.

This is her man's first investment, how could she not support him?

At the time, Liu Qian even asked Meng Chuan what his nickname was.

Meng Chuan told her without any hesitation, "The Old Woman of Forgetfulness won't give me any soup."

Liu Qian also asked Meng Chuan curiously why he chose such a name.

Meng Chuan smiled and said, "Just for fun!"

Liu Qian immediately chose the name "Meng Po".

It's easy to understand, she's Meng Chuan's wife!

Therefore, upon seeing this ID, Liu Qian knew it was definitely Meng Chuan.

Is there really anyone else in the world who happens to have this name?

And it's such a coincidence that someone with this name would donate 20 million without batting an eye?

Of course, it's not that Liu Qian is petty.

Huo Wanxi is just too beautiful.

Young and vibrant.

Moreover, she was classmates with Meng Chuan, both from Shanghai University.

Liu Qian clicked into Huo Wanxi's homepage and happened to see Huo Wanxi openly expressing her admiration for Meng Chuan in the live broadcast room.

All of this would make any woman, let alone Liu Qian, uncomfortable.

"Wait, don't hang up yet, I can explain."

Meng Chuan hurriedly spoke up.

Meng Chuan originally wanted to get away with it.

But clearly, Liu Qian is not so easily fooled.

"Okay, try to explain it to me and see if I can believe you."

Liu Qian's voice was slightly cold.

"First of all, the person who competed with me in wealth was Sun Dashan's younger brother, Sun Yishan."

Meng Chuan immediately brought up Sun Yishan.

This is the younger brother of my love rival, so it's definitely credible.

“I had some conflict with Sun Yishan some time ago, and I took the opportunity to humiliate him. That’s one of them.”

Meng Chuan continued to explain:

"Secondly, Douyin's live streaming function has only been online for a short time. Although there are many new streamers, most of them are ordinary people, and there are very few celebrities. I'm just doing this to advertise for Douyin."

This reason is indeed of paramount importance.

Before 2018, many celebrities disdained opening Douyin accounts.

Firstly, Douyin's influence was not high at the time.

Furthermore, Douyin's current positioning is also mainly focused on entertainment and appealing to young people.

The style is quite down-to-earth.

In other words, there are more grassroots streamers.

Celebrities often boast about being high-class and sophisticated, which is inconsistent with their actual status.

Of course, these are all secondary.

The real reason is that celebrities cannot see the benefits that joining Douyin will bring them.

With no profit to be made and feeling that it would lower their status, naturally no celebrities are willing to join.

But as long as celebrities see it, opening a Douyin account can make money.

Identity, class, and face are no longer important.

Money is the most important thing.

Therefore, these 20 million are just a stepping stone.

It is also a catalyst.

Meng Chuan believes that this applies to both celebrities and ordinary people.

After today, everyone will rush to join Douyin.

In particular, as time went on, Douyin's monetization model gradually became clear.

Business opportunities such as brand collaborations, product placements, and live-streaming e-commerce are constantly emerging.

Celebrities who once ignored Douyin will now find it impossible to reach Douyin.

"You really have absolutely no feelings for her?"

Liu Qian suddenly interrupted Meng Chuan's long explanation.

"No, absolutely not. How could I like that kind of woman? She's got no curves at all, nothing like my wife's... Hehe, and she feels good to touch?"

Meng Chuan said in a cheeky tone.

"Are you trying to kill me? I'm in the office!"

Liu Qian blushed deeply after Meng Chuan made her face turn bright red.

Look around cautiously.

Fortunately, my colleagues had all gone to eat.

Liu Qian quickly calmed herself down and resumed her cold demeanor.

At school, she remained an awe-inspiring "ice queen".

Whether they were colleagues or students, they all kept their distance from her.

She only showed her girlish side in front of Meng Chuan.

Only Meng Chuan dared to say such frivolous things in front of her.

"Okay, I'm going to eat now. You need to study hard!"

Liu Qian quickly gave some instructions and then hung up the phone.

If the conversation continues, who knows what other demands Meng Chuan might make.

Actually, Liu Qian wasn't really angry.

If she were really angry, given her personality, she wouldn't call Meng Chuan.

Liu Qian has always been very rational.

First of all, she trusted Meng Chuan.

Secondly, she knew that Meng Chuan never liked to be high-profile.

Meng Chuan never seeks the limelight when there's no benefit to it.

Therefore, Meng Chuan was able to publicly spend over 20 million yuan to tip a female streamer.

There must be something to ask for.

Therefore, the more high-profile Meng Chuan is in his actions, the more guiltless he must be.

The more reassured she became.

But, you know how women are! They may be rational, but when they're jealous, they're genuinely jealous.

Meng Chuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after hanging up the phone.

Only then did he excitedly go to eat.

For the next two days, Meng Chuan resumed his routine of going back and forth between his dormitory and the library.

Meng Chuan wanted to catch up on the knowledge he had learned in the second semester of his freshman year as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the other freshmen could only sweat profusely during military training on the playground.

At the same time, Meng Chuan gave Zheng Muchen a check for 100 million yuan in the name of the Lin Group.

It is worth mentioning that since meeting the old man of the Chen family, with the help of the Chen family...

The Liu Group has been listed on the stock exchange for some time now.

After its listing, the Liu Group officially entered the real estate industry.

With the support of Hongda International's supply chain, the Liu Group's supermarket business has also flourished.

Liu Fu now wakes up laughing every day.

He has finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the CEO of a listed company.

Liu Dong is the one who suffers.

Liu Dong is currently in charge of the real estate industry.

Since the Liu Group successfully went public.

Liu Fu is practically semi-retired.

He was intentionally cultivating Liu Dong's management skills.

Two days later, Zheng Muchen finally called Meng Chuan.

The "Meng Po won't give me soup" guild has been successfully registered.

Meng Chuan invested, holding 90% of the shares, while Zheng Muchen only needed 10%.

This equity distribution was insisted upon by Zheng Muchen.

After all, Meng Chuan helped him pay off 80 million yuan in breach of contract fees before granting him his freedom.

Zheng Muchen even considered giving up equity and being content with a fixed salary.

But Meng Chuan wanted to be his legal representative and chairman, so on the surface he was the boss.

Meng Chuan was just a hands-off manager; Meng Chuan wanted to give him 30% of the shares.

Zheng Muchen insisted on not accepting it.

Now that the union has registered, he has contacted Huo Wanxi.

Huo Wanxi's straightforwardness surprised Zheng Muchen.

Just as Meng Chuan had predicted.

Upon hearing the union's name, "Meng Po won't give me soup," I immediately agreed to sign the contract.

They had no objection to the commission deduction in the contract.

However, she was the first internet celebrity to sign with the union.

The conditions offered by Zheng Muchen were quite reasonable.

Normally, online celebrities split their income 50/50 with the platform.

The union will take a cut of about 30%.

However, Zheng Muchen only takes a 10% commission.

In other words, if a user tipes 1,000 yuan, an average streamer will receive 350 yuan.

Huo Wanxi, on the other hand, would receive 450 yuan.

After all, Huo Wanxi is now a true top influencer among ordinary people.

Even many celebrities don't have 1000 million fans yet.

She already has the potential to become a phenomenal internet celebrity.

Her leadership in signing the union agreement will greatly benefit the union's development.

The next step is the collaboration between the union and the Douyin platform.

Zheng Muchen plans to fly to Beijing tonight to meet with Douyin for discussions.

He asked Meng Chuan if there was anything he needed to explain.

After all, the union had only just been established.

Zheng Muchen was going to negotiate with Douyin, but he still lacked confidence.

"Just talk normally. Trust the people you employ. You make the decision yourself."

Meng Chuan didn't offer Zheng Muchen any objections.

This made Zheng Muchen smile wryly.

"By the way, we need to establish our union's training mechanism as soon as possible, and provide professional training and support to the signed internet celebrities. Also, we need to set up a union music room. I have a few songs that need to be produced. Once they're finished, you can decide who's best suited to sing them."

Meng Chuan gave his instructions.

"Mr. Meng, you... can write songs?"

Zheng Muchen asked suspiciously.

Isn't Meng Chuan a scientific research talent?

Zheng Muchen already knew that Meng Chuan and Jiang Zhenyu had published a paper.

It solved one of the three major problems in economics.

You're saying someone like that can write songs?

"Just writing for fun."
