Shen Xingang and Ninth Master returned to the Paradise Club.
As soon as the two sat down, Ninth Master said urgently, "President Shen, Hu Ling cannot be allowed to live. She must know that we are the ones who did this."
Shen Xingang snorted.
"Do you really need to tell me? They've already made it very clear."
"President Shen, should we arrange for someone to..."
Ninth Master made a throat-slitting gesture.
Shen Xingang hesitated for a moment.
"Wouldn't this be too obvious? After all, District Chief Guan was also present."
"President Shen, Hu Ling is a vengeful person. We can't wait any longer. It's better to make a decision sooner rather than later, otherwise we'll suffer when she retaliates."
Shen Xingang kept fiddling with the bracelet in his hand, his mind racing.
"President Shen, don't think about it anymore. With the power of your Shen family, even if District Chief Guan knows that you did it, he won't say anything. When you told him to leave just now, he followed you. It's obvious that he knows what Hu Ling is going to say."
Shen Xingang stopped holding the bracelet.
He looked at Ninth Master.
A decision has been made.
"Okay, arrange for someone to do it cleanly, without leaving a trace."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Knowing that Hu Ling was not dead, Ninth Master was very anxious, so he left in a hurry after obtaining Shen Xingang's permission.
Shen Xingang stood up, walked to the window and looked at the bustling Linglong Club across the street. He snorted coldly.
"Hu Ling, choosing to show yourself at this time is the biggest mistake you've ever made. Just wait, your death is imminent!"
...
The reopening of Linglong Club has generated a huge response. Its novel and unique theme immediately went viral on various short video platforms and topped the local trending search list.
Chen Zhe also invested a lot in promotion, trying to get more exposure for this topic.
However, Yang Yun and the others were still a little worried.
"Chen Zhe, your model can indeed attract people, but we can't make money at this price!"
The renovation cost nearly 1 billion yuan. Such a lavish investment, coupled with such a low price, means that it's hard to even break even, let alone make a profit.
"Who told you I was going to make money by selling tickets?"
Chen Zhe smiled.
Yang Yun and the others were taken aback.
"If you don't make money from tickets, how will you make money? Do you think you'll make money from those private rooms? I'm not trying to discourage you, but even though you sold all those private rooms today, it was only because District Chief Guan was here. Those bosses were able to come because of District Chief Guan. It will be very difficult for you to sell those rooms again later. 200,000 a night is a very expensive price, not to mention in Donghai, even in the whole world. Those bosses are rich, but they are not stupid. You think you can make 200,000 a night from them just by singing and dancing? You're being too naive."
Yang Yun's words were very realistic, and the actual situation was pretty much the same. Today's foot traffic and sales were indeed quite good; in the past, the renovation business would have been profitable.
But now that so much money has been invested and the renovation is so luxurious, the investment is disproportionate to the output. 1 billion yuan could buy a small cruise ship. With that money, wouldn't it be better to open a route and start a travel company to sell more tickets?
"Hehe, I called you all up here to discuss this issue with you. Now I'll explain the specific model to you, otherwise I'll get annoyed by you constantly asking me questions."
"You have another problem with that?!"
Yang Yun snorted.
"Your calculations are correct. We can't make much money by selling tickets; we'll only lose money doing that. But what if we add live streaming?"
Chen Zhe asked.
"Huh? What are you up to? Are you planning to start another live-streaming company?"
"No, no, no, starting a number is too difficult, and there's no guarantee we can do it."
"Then what do you say!"
"What I mean is collaborating with those online influencers. Didn't you guys check our topic volume just now?"
"Number of topics?"
"That's right. The total number of views for our videos tonight has exceeded 1 billion, and it's still climbing at an astonishing rate. I just mentioned to District Chief Guan that the tourism accounts in the North District will also help us promote them. So we're now a legitimate force, with both buzz and popularity!"
"Um, you just stopped District Chief Guan to talk about this?"
"Yes."
"How can we cooperate?"
"It's very simple. I will invite some popular online celebrities to visit the store and provide them with private rooms so they can livestream and sell products. The products they sell are local specialties from Donghai, and the companies that sell these specialties are the same companies we have worked with before."
Chen Zhe emphasized the word "cooperation," which actually referred to the companies whose shares they had seized.
Hu Ling previously used various means to seize shares in many companies, and now it's time for these companies to play their part.
They were all shocked by Chen Zhe's idea; they never expected that Chen Zhe's purpose was like this.
They never imagined that running a club could also involve live streaming. It's understandable that they didn't think about it, since running an entertainment club involves a bit of a gray area, and legitimate live streaming platforms wouldn't give them traffic.
But now Chen Zhe has reversed things, transforming his previously shady massage parlor into an entertainment and tourism project representing traditional culture.
Don't underestimate this upright and honest signboard.
Only with this flag can we truly accomplish great things.
This is similar to ancient uprisings. In order to gather more people, some rebel armies would often use very righteous slogans. With these slogans, a steady stream of people would join them, thus expanding their cause.
Seeing that Yang Yun and the others were still hesitant, Chen Zhe brought up Hu Ling again. He attributed the whole plan to Hu Ling, saying that he had done it entirely according to Hu Ling's instructions.
Yang Yun and the others were finally convinced.
Chen Zhe's tactic was to use the emperor to command the princes. He knew that with his influence, it would be difficult to make these managers completely obey his orders. Only by bringing out Hu Ling, this big shot, could these people stop questioning him.
Chen Zhe's plan went even more smoothly than he had imagined; he had originally planned to invite some internet celebrities as well.
Unexpectedly, those internet celebrities came to them.
Those online celebrities think very quickly; it's not that they can't afford a room costing 200,000 yuan a night, but that group buying is more cost-effective.
Five online celebrities shared a room.
It is divided equally among everyone.
That is, 40,000 yuan per person.
They were willing to spend the money, and Chen Zhe agreed to their plan. He wasn't the type to stick to a plan once it was made. Originally, he did intend to collaborate with these internet celebrities, but now, he seemed to have some other ideas.
Perhaps they would feel more comfortable here if they were invited to spend money.
There's no rush to start selling products. Let's first check the quality of their live streams and see which influencers are more outstanding and influential. We can discuss collaborations with them later.
The ancient costume theme of Linglong Club has been very popular these days. With the official promotion and the platform giving it a lot of traffic, the live broadcasts of those internet celebrities are getting more and more popular.
Soon, some outstanding individuals emerged.
They went from group buying to each person having a room to themselves.
A price of 200,000 yuan for one night is expensive, but their investment still pays off. Those internet celebrities who dare to do this have no fewer than 300,000 viewers in their live streams.
Each of them has at least 8 million followers.
Some merchants who saw the business opportunity also began to contact them to promote their products.
At this point, Chen Zhe did not start robbing the merchants who were selling goods, but instead focused on instructing the maids who were serving in the room.
Let them learn and see more.
Chen Zhe had previously told them that he would help them build their personal brands and make them internet celebrities.
The most direct way to create an account is to ride the wave of popularity. He wants to ride the wave of popularity of these big internet celebrities so that the people he arranges can appear in their live broadcasts. This is his slightly modified plan.
Among them, Ouyang Zixuan, a beautiful woman who had just joined the company, learned very quickly. Because she frequently appeared on screen with those internet celebrities, she always smiled very happily whenever the camera focused on her and they interacted with her, so naturally she gained more followers.
Gaining followers in a live stream with tens of millions of followers is very easy.
In less than a week, Ouyang Zixuan gained over a million followers.
Moreover, these fans are all highly active, and the other maids in the other rooms are also gaining fans very quickly, with each of them having hundreds of thousands of fans.
In addition, some of them have already started to master the skills they learned by following those big internet celebrities in their live streams in their rooms for a few days.
Live-streaming e-commerce is highly dependent on popularity, so you need to act very quickly.
Chen Zhe quickly found Ouyang Zixuan and the others, and told them about his idea to help them create personal IPs.
Ouyang Zixuan and the others had excitement in their eyes. They had been looking forward to this for days, but when it came to actually launching themselves as internet celebrities, they were also a little worried and scared.
"Manager Chen, do you really think I can do it?"
"Hehe, what's wrong? Aren't you always so confident? Are you getting stage fright now?"
Ouyang Zixuan's face flushed red.
"Saying and doing are two different things, Manager. You're not going to make me sign some kind of indenture, are you? Like one with a penalty of hundreds of millions? I'm always online, I've seen plenty of things like that."
"You've reminded me of that. Let me make this clear: the accounts we create for you are for selling goods. You'll get a commission from those sales. If you leave the company and stop working here, you'll still have to hand over your accounts to the company."
"oh……"
Some people were clearly a little disappointed.
"However, we will give you some compensation based on your performance. In any case, you will not lose out, and it will be better than working for someone else."
"Okay, as long as you don't make me pay compensation. If you really make me pay compensation, then I'll have to sell myself, hahaha."
Ouyang Zixuan is an optimist who doesn't think too much. As long as she doesn't have to pay compensation, then this matter is worth doing.
