Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 631: Second Senior Brother: I’m Embarrassed
Although East Gate East has a timid personality and loves to cry, he also has many strengths such as honesty and being exceptionally tolerant and magnanimous towards East Gate West. No matter how harsh the things East Gate West said, he could just laugh it off.
Even now, after realizing that East Gate West was looking down on him, he still suggested good-naturedly, "Your residency registration hasn’t been processed yet, you can’t go abroad. You can help out domestically this time."
East Gate East asked gruffly, "How can I help? Stay in the live streaming room every day and send bullet comments?"
East Gate West: "Why not? Even a bit of popularity is a gesture of goodwill unless you think a bit of popularity is unimportant to Miaomiao."
East Gate East looked down upon a bit of popularity, but he suddenly thought of what his junior sister had said.
"Every little bit helps; it can accumulate over time. Just like the sixth senior brother, who has been pondering how to break through since he was young, has thought about it for many years, for many days. Because every day he made a little progress, he eventually became so powerful!"
Having received recognition and praise from his junior sister, he was just happy at the time. Now that he thought about it, his junior sister was indeed right, accumulation over time matters.
East Gate West: "Hmph, I’ll post several more every day then."
East Gate East was very pleased, his brother finally listened.
Ji Zhangzhuo burned the midnight oil to write a plan, and the next day happily posted it in his friend circle, seeking online investment.
The plan detailed responsibilities distribution, economic benefits, and reputation effects.
Firstly, regarding responsibilities distribution, Ji Zhangzhuo stated that as long as one is willing to invest, they need not worry about anything, as Ji Zhangzhuo would arrange everything perfectly. Additionally, he made a guarantee with the Martial Arts Association to certainly ’enhance national prestige and promote martial arts’.
Next, regarding economic benefits, Ji Zhangzhuo guaranteed that the live stream’s popularity would reach a certain level, and small scripts would be specially written for the advertiser’s products to be performed during intermissions. It was filled with many grand promises, such as helping the advertisers’ products go abroad and become internationally renowned.
Finally, regarding the reputation effect, this section is almost filled with words of praise for the advertisers, elevating this investment action to a level of patriotism and promoting traditional culture.
Even businessmen like to beautify their actions. Many businessmen often do charity.
Many people think that businessmen doing charity is actually a form of advertising. But if businessmen gain business through charity, and the underprivileged get help, isn’t it a win-win? Once win-win situations frequently occur, more businessmen will give back to society, even if these acts of giving back carry other motives.
Having been in the modern age for some time, Ji Zhangzhuo often deals with businessmen and is adept at grasping their thoughts. In his era, he once hoodwinked... used personal charisma to win over a few grain and cloth merchants.
Additionally, being a socialite, Ji Zhangzhuo’s friend circle is several times larger than those of other senior brothers.
Once the plan was posted, some businessmen indeed showed interest and contacted him.
Initially, Ji Zhangzhuo accepted everyone and, while other businessmen were hesitating and probing, he created an illusion that there were many people wanting to invest and there wouldn’t be any spots left soon.
Once the number of interested investors reached a certain quantity, he and a few senior and junior brothers tested the potential investors’ products, collected some data, and then selected the best.
During this period, Gu Qize inevitably heard the commotion and expressed willingness to become the biggest investor, and proactively helped connect with a live streaming platform.
This live streaming platform could only squeeze into the top five at the moment, inferior to the top two, but it had fewer scandals than those two platforms, its review process was rather strict, and its complaint feedback speed quick, adopting an evidence-based attitude towards complaints rather than based on volume, differing significantly from platforms that allowed controversial videos to trend for traffic.
Gu Qize honestly remarked, "Runze Group holds shares in this company."
Despite pampering his sister, Gu Qize is essentially a businessman. If he became the biggest investor, he would certainly prefer to recommend a platform he has shares in rather than give the business opportunity to other platforms.
Ji Zhangzhuo also admitted honestly, "In fact, the earlier platforms are all watching and testing the waters. Qize, since you’ve been so decisive, we won’t hesitate either, this platform it is, then."
His words indirectly implied that only Gu Qize sees this conference’s broadcasting rights as a sumptuous opportunity, while other platforms are still busy weighing the pros and cons.
Gu Qize was a bit surprised, "No matter how you look at it, since last year, promoting traditional culture has been the trend, right?"
Don’t they want the broadcasting rights for an international exchange conference? Did the management of those platforms have water in their brains?
Hearing this, Ji Zhangzhuo felt a bit guilty, "Um, Qize, do you want to look at our specific plan and quote?"
The word ’quote’ was muttered very softly.
Upon receiving the plan and quote, Gu Qize was silent for over ten seconds.
This plan required the live streaming platform to arrange for the best equipment and send out the best team, and within a certain period, promote this live broadcast, just stopping short of outright saying to top the live stream.
Mistaking the silence for retreat, Ji Zhangzhuo quickly explained, "Qize, you also understand, when masters are dueling, their skills are incredibly swift, without good equipment, viewers simply cannot see clearly. Also, we specifically stated that if good equipment couldn’t be provided, we could use the advertiser’s investment to purchase it."
What truly made those platforms hesitate was the good team and promotion.
Some platforms indeed wish to promote traditional martial arts to ride the wave of popularity, but all the strong teams inside the company have been sent to handle more popular events. Additionally, large platforms’ promotion is extremely valuable.
Users often see trending videos when entering the live streaming software. Some are truly popular, or the platform gives them free promotion, but others are paid, with the platform providing the service for money. This is akin to how some software’s trending topic lists can be purchased.
Gu Qize immediately identified the issue.
The group has invested in a live streaming platform, so he naturally needs to understand the industry a bit.
"It seems like they haven’t invested, but actually sending good teams and daily promotion during the conference is a form of investment. They don’t think it’s worth it."
Claiming to be observing, it’s actually thinking that shelving so many advertisements for a martial arts exchange conference’s promotion is too unfortunate.
Rather than becoming renowned, they prefer to earn quick money.
Many live streaming platforms and short video platforms operate on a quick cash-out route, with an overall style of being fast-paced, restless, eye-catching, and conflict-inducing.
Ji Zhangzhuo was inevitably somewhat anxious.
He could secure investments, even if each contributed a little, accumulation over time ensured investments wouldn’t be an issue. But finding a live streaming platform with substantial traffic was hard! If it really came down to him spending money to buy advertising spots on the streaming platform, the gathered investment wouldn’t suffice!
Yet catching hold of Gu Qize, the CEO, for such business advantages every time, even as thick-skinned as he was, he would feel embarrassed.
