Upon hearing that Chen Zhe intended to keep the arrogant Xu Renshan in his presence, Lu Anguo could no longer sit still.
"Mr. Chen, you can't listen to this kid's nonsense. You can't trust people who spout such lies."
Chen Zhe reassured Lu Anguo slightly: "Professor Lu, we can verify whether he is trustworthy or not. Since he believes he has real talent and ability, why not give him a chance?"
"But Mr. Chen..."
"It's alright," Chen Zhe interrupted him.
Chen Zhe looked at Xu Renshan; "Teacher Xu, since you are so confident in yourself, how about I give you an account and you give it a broadcast?"
Xu Renshan did not refuse.
"Of course! But I have one condition."
"What are the requirements?"
"I demand that you give me the account with the most followers and the best traffic in the company."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuanyuan couldn't sit still any longer; "You really dare to ask for this? You just joined the company and don't know anything, yet you ask for the account with the most traffic. Who do you think you are? What if you get the account banned?"
Lu Anguo, who was standing next to him, immediately agreed: "That's right, President Chen, this kid is really here to cause trouble. I even feel like he was sent by another company to sabotage things."
Chen Zhe didn't dare to easily agree to the request. He did admire Xu Renshan's performance just now. Although he was arrogant and didn't know how to be humble, he was quick-witted and had silenced Lu Anguo, a university professor, with just a few words. However, the best person in the company was very important to them. If there was even the slightest mistake, it could lead to big problems for the company.
Seeing Chen Zhe hesitate, Xu Renshan asked again, "May I ask, Mr. Chen, what is the daily sales volume of the company's best-selling account?"
Chen Zhe looked at Wu Yuanyuan, who immediately chimed in, "30 million? Why are you asking about that?"
Wu Yuanyuan's eyes were also somewhat wary, and she was also a little concerned about what Lu Anguo had just said, wondering if Xu Renshan was sent by another company.
"Give me one day, one day, and I'll double this sales!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Anguo laughed so hard he almost couldn't stand up straight. "I was actually flattering you when I said you were arrogant. This isn't just arrogance; it's clearly daydreaming. You're not mentally sound. Do you know what 30 million a day for one account means? Do you know how big that number is?"
Seeing that Chen Zhe was still hesitant, Xu Renshan promised again: "Half a day!!! Sales must exceed 60 million within half a day!"
To be honest, Chen Zhe was tempted, but he also felt that the amount was very unrealistic.
"Do you realize that what you just said is like making a solemn pledge?"
“I know that I have made a solemn pledge. Since I dared to say that I would make Linglong Club the number one live streaming company on the entire network, I must achieve 60 million a day.”
What if you can't do it?
Wu Yuanyuan asked sternly.
"If I can't do it, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Wu Yuanyuan was speechless and said in a very irritable tone, "What you said is as good as nothing. You didn't even place a single bet."
"Even if I can't do it, you won't suffer too much loss, so I don't need to place a heavy bet."
"Who says we don't suffer losses? If we let you broadcast for a day and your sales don't go up, wouldn't we lose money?"
She turned to look at Chen Zhe; "Mr. Chen, I think it's best to ignore this person. He's really unreasonable."
Chen Zhe waved his hand.
"I promise you, I'll let you broadcast it."
Wu Yuanyuan and Lu Anguo tried to stop him after hearing this, but Chen Zhe was determined.
Losing a day's sales was something he could afford. Although he didn't completely trust the person in front of him, he did see one thing: the man's eyes were full of passion and confidence. He could understand a young man being confident, because he was young too. But for a young man to maintain such confidence in front of a high-ranking boss, someone like himself, was either crazy or truly capable.
Whether he's a madman or a capable man, we'll have to take a gamble.
In order to break through the current bottleneck, Chen Zhe is willing to take a gamble.
The account with the most traffic in the company right now is Ouyang Zixuan's. This girl is sharp-tongued. She is not a technician here. She is a graduate of an art school and was recruited. She has good speaking skills and speaks humorously, which always gets people to make purchases in her live broadcast room.
In addition, she has now recruited several assistants, and these assistants are not simple. They used to work in the entertainment industry. One of them is quite famous, named Liu Ruyi. Speaking of Liu Ruyi, she almost persuaded Ouyang Zixuan to accept the unspoken rules of the industry, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Zixuan turned her around and brought her over to do live streaming together. The entertainment stars joining her live streaming room also brought her a lot of traffic, so she became the top seller at Linglong Club.
When Ouyang Zixuan heard that Chen Zhe was going to give up her account to someone else to broadcast, she felt a little wronged.
"Mr. Chen, did I do something wrong?"
Chen Zhe comforted him, "You did nothing wrong, you did very well."
"Then why did you give my account to someone else?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, Zixuan's broadcast is going well, and you're asking us to give up our accounts? That's not fair."
Liu Ruyi was also unwilling. She received a commission from Ouyang Zixuan's live stream, which was much more than she earned in the entertainment industry. Now she was going to give up the account, which would be like taking away her livelihood.
"Don't worry, I'll just let him stream for one day, and the account will still be yours after that."
It's impossible to give this number to Xu Renshan completely, as that would incite internal conflicts among company employees. Even if he were truly capable, Chen Zhe wouldn't do that.
Hearing Chen Zhe say this, they felt a little more at ease. Chen Zhe continued, "No matter how many units of this account we sell today, the commission is all yours. If it doesn't match your previous sales, I will make up the difference."
Ouyang Zixuan quickly shook her head and refused; "No, no, no, Mr. Chen, this number belongs to the company. We will do whatever the company tells us to do."
Chen Zhe promised not to take the number away, which was already very kind to Ouyang Zixuan, as she wasn't the type to be particularly petty.
Since the top anchor had said so, Liu Ruyi and the others naturally didn't have much of an opinion.
"It's alright. I will definitely give you what I'm owed. Don't worry."
Ouyang Zixuan is now the company's most popular live streamer, so she can't be shortchanged when it comes to money.
After the communication was completed.
Xu Renshan also came out of the changing room.
What made everyone frown was that he hadn't changed his clothes at all; he was still wearing his faded shirt and wrinkled black trousers.
"How can you be like this? Didn't we prepare clothes for you? Don't you know our company specializes in period drama live streams?"
Wu Yuanyuan stepped forward and asked.
Lu Anguo chimed in, "I told you he was just here to cause trouble. He didn't even change his clothes and has no manners at all."
Chen Zhe was also a little curious; "Teacher Xu, do the clothes not fit?"
Xu Renshan shook his head; "I just tried it on, it fits well, but I'm not used to wearing it."
"What's there to be unaccustomed to? It's company policy!"
Wu Yuanyuan emphasized.
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Promoting traditional culture doesn't necessarily require wearing ancient costumes. Your view is a shallow prejudice."
"I……"
Wu Yuanyuan was so angry she almost swore. How could this person talk so infuriatingly? Could he really do a good job of live streaming?
"Hehe, it's alright. Since Teacher Xu isn't used to it, then he shouldn't wear it. Just follow his instructions."
Chen Zhe didn't intend to pursue such a trivial matter; what he wanted was a result. If Xu Renshan could produce a result, then even if he came dressed as a beggar, he would be willing to let him broadcast it.
After laying the groundwork, Ouyang Zixuan introduced Xu Renshan. Since he didn't have many titles, Ouyang Zixuan had to rack her brains to introduce him.
The performance wasn't very well received; the live stream chat was filled with comments telling Xu Renshan to go down.
Xu Renshan was plain-looking and dressed in a dowdy style; he was nowhere near as pretty as Ouyang Zixuan and the other girls.
Chen Zhe and Wu Yuanyuan were monitoring the data in the background.
They also saw the comments section.
Wu Yuanyuan frowned slightly; "President Chen, it seems the audience isn't buying it. He didn't even say a word before some people wanted to kick him off. Should we listen to the audience?"
"Wait a minute, let's take a look first."
Wu Yuanyuan nodded worriedly, then turned her attention back to the live stream.
...
Xu Renshan looked at the dense barrage of comments in the live stream telling him to get lost, but he remained expressionless and calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.
"Most of the viewers in the live stream don't know me and don't want to see me. You want to see beautiful women and hear their sweet, delicate voices, right?"
Live stream chat;
Amidst the wind and rain; [Isn't that obvious? Who are you? Do we need to know you? We have no interest in knowing you. Give our Zixuan back right now!!]
Little White Rabbit; [Yes, hurry up and switch back to Zixuan. If you don't, I'm going to unfollow. I followed this account because of Zixuan.]
Big Chicken Neck; [I want Zixuan, I want Ruyi, I don't want you, you bespectacled dog.]
[What exactly is Linglong Club up to? Isn't this Zixuan's account? They didn't explain clearly just now, why give the account to this person to broadcast? Is this person a relative of Chen Zhe? Is there some invisible capital force at play?]
Building Materials Bro Wang (AA): [I'm giving you 10 seconds to bring back Zixuan, Ruyi, and Ayan, or I'm returning the goods I bought the day before yesterday!! I mean it!!!]
...
As more and more negative comments like these emerged, Wu Yuanyuan, who was backstage at the live stream, was extremely worried. She kept glancing at Chen Zhe, but when she realized that Chen Zhe didn't seem to be calling for a halt, she held back.
Xu Renshan looked at the comments and then picked out a few of the most vicious ones to read aloud.
After reading it, he laughed and then asked the camera, "I see your questions. You're all curious about how I got in, right?"
Whatever; [I don't care how you got in, get out the same way you got in!]
...
Most people still wanted Xu Renshan to get out! They had no interest in listening to what Xu Renshan had to say, but there were some exceptions who were just there to argue.
Big yellow dog: [I want to hear it, I want to know!]
A naive female cockroach; [I'd like to hear your story too!]
One person said they wanted to hear it, and then everyone else said they wanted to hear it too. After all, there must be a story behind how this seemingly ordinary person suddenly took over the most popular account at Linglong Club.
The desire for gossip about stories is ingrained in many people's minds; everyone is simply curious.
Xu Renshan said, "My real identity is an ordinary teacher. I did use some tricks to get into this live stream today and become the host. If you want to know what tricks I used, please type '1' in the live stream chat and let me see how many people do it."
