After careful consideration, Hu Ling decided to give up on Xu Renshan, but at the same time, she asked Chen Zhe to replicate Xu Renshan's live-streaming model.
"If you have someone analyze his rhythm and speaking style to find someone to replace him, the cost will be much lower."
"Sister Hu, other companies should already be doing the things you mentioned."
The speed of information dissemination on the internet is extremely fast. In Chen Zhe's experience, after Xu Renshan became a hit, some people started to imitate him. Other companies launched counterfeit products, and if his own company launched a few more imitators, he wouldn't be able to gain much traffic.
"At this point, this is the only way to do it. We simply can't accommodate 2,000 positions. That kid's request is too much; I would never agree to it."
Chen Zhe thought for a moment, then asked, "So, Sister Hu, you really intend to give up on him, right?"
"Yes, just do as I say."
Chen Zhe nodded, then fell silent and returned to his room, where he began to ponder again.
[Such a talented person as Hu Ling is giving up? Does she think livestreaming talent is so easy to find? Since she's given up, shouldn't I seize the opportunity?]
With such a person joining the company, Chen Zhe couldn't possibly not report it to Hu Ling. However, he had a little idea in his mind: since Linglong Club couldn't win him over, could he give it a try himself?
Chen Zhe got out of bed, made some plans, and didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m.
the next day.
Chen Zhe invited Xu Renshan to the Linglong Club. He rejected Xu Renshan's proposed conditions, which disappointed Xu Renshan, but he seemed to have expected this outcome.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer."
Xu Renshan stood up and left.
Half an hour after he left, Chen Zhe also got up and left the office.
He arrived at the gate of Donghai Vocational School.
Then they arranged to meet Xu Renshan again at a nearby milk tea shop.
Xu Renshan was somewhat puzzled; "President Chen, you didn't invite me out just for something as simple as having milk tea, did you?"
Chen Zhe held the milk tea stirred with a straw in his hand, took a small sip, and then chuckled; "Teacher Xu, I actually want to ask you a question. I don't understand it. Can you help me answer it?"
"you say."
Why are you so confident that you can double the sales in my live stream?
Chen Zhe investigated Xu Renshan and found that he had no prior experience in this area; he had always worked as a teacher at Donghai Vocational School.
For someone with no experience in this field to fulfill their boastful promise, they must either be incredibly lucky or extremely confident. Lacking experience, they likely lack confidence, and incredibly lucky? Can someone's luck really be that good?
Chen Zhe couldn't understand why Xu Renshan was so confident. He didn't seem like a fool.
Upon hearing this, Xu Renshan chuckled and said, "President Chen, did you come all this way just to ask me this question?"
Chen Zhe nodded; "Teacher Xu, I hope you can answer my question."
Xu Renshan looked around and, finding that no one was paying attention to them, said, "Actually, it's very simple. At first, I used a move to turn the tables."
"Turning the tables?"
Chen Zhe was a little confused.
"That's right, it's about turning the tables. I'll ask you to give me the best account in the company, and then I'll replace that streamer. Her fans will naturally become my fans. That's turning the tables."
Chen Zhe nodded; "That's a smart move, but even if you take over that account, you might not be able to sell that many products. Our streamer is the best in the company, and she can only make a maximum of 30 million in sales a day. What makes you think you can do more than her?"
Xu Renshan explained, "With the same number of followers, it's unlikely that I can sell more than her. But what if I more than double the number of followers and the number of online users? Wouldn't that make it possible?"
"Hehe, Teacher Xu, you should know that increasing the number of fans and online users is not an easy thing."
Chen Zhe had tried streaming before, but the results weren't very good. It seemed that Ouyang Zixuan's live stream reached a bottleneck after a certain number of viewers, and it was difficult to break through it.
"Mr. Chen, it might be difficult to increase the number of online viewers from 100 to 200, but it's much easier to increase it from 10,000 to 20,000. The more people watching the live stream, the easier it is to double the number. I'll use a feint, a deliberate attempt to pique their curiosity and increase their interaction. Then, I'll create some buzz, and the atmosphere will heat up."
[He was indeed well-prepared, and he had a firm grasp of his rhythm. It seems he wasn't just relying on luck; he has real talent.]
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe felt a surge of excitement. Xu Renshan in front of him was definitely a talent. His way of thinking and speaking was one in a million. It wouldn't be easy to find someone to imitate him. Hu Ling had given up on him, so he had to seize the opportunity, even if it meant paying a higher price.
However, he still had one question.
"Teacher Xu, I have another question. You clearly told those people not to buy, so why are you still confident in achieving a turnover of 60 million? Aren't you afraid they'll listen to you?"
"Mr. Chen, before I answer your question, let me ask you something first."
"you say."
"If you were a random viewer in my live stream and I advised you not to buy this product, what would be the first thought that pops into your mind?"
Chen Zhe paused for a moment, then began to put himself in Chen Zhe's shoes.
"My first thought would be to be curious about this thing, and then I might click in to see what it is."
"Haha, that's right. You'll click in, and then you'll find that the prices inside are actually cheaper than what you buy elsewhere. And when the streamer tells you not to buy, you'll feel compelled to buy it. You'll think you're getting a good deal."
Chen Zhe's pupils dilated, and he gasped. Thinking about it carefully, it really was true. As long as he clicked into their product introduction, Chen Zhe believed there was a very high probability that he could win over that customer, because their prices were indeed very cheap.
Xu Renshan laughed heartily; “President Chen, Hegel said in his philosophy of history that the only lesson mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history. Rulers in history, when they were powerful, all hoped that the country they had conquered could be passed down for thousands of generations, so they gave a lot of instructions to their descendants and established a lot of rules. But what was the result? The result was the change of dynasties, and the cycle repeated itself. In all my years of teaching, I have never met a student who completely listened to me. Most of the students I have met have always done the opposite of what I said. I told them not to do something, but they insisted on doing it.”
Chen Zhe couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Professor Xu, you have truly broadened my horizons. You are indeed a rare talent. I have one more question..."
Xu Renshan smiled and looked at Chen Zhe; "President Chen, this is already your third question."
"This is the last question..."
Xu Renshan reached out to stop Chen Zhe; "Let me guess, Mr. Chen. Are you trying to ask me why, since I'm so confident about this, I don't do the live stream myself?"
Chen Zhe nodded. This kid was indeed smart; he guessed right away.
Xu Renshan squinted, still smiling as he looked at Chen Zhe; "President Chen, I believe you already have the answer to this question in your heart, so I don't think there's any need for me to say it out loud."
Chen Zhe did have a vague answer in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure.
Seeing that Chen Zhe didn't speak, Xu Renshan said directly: "Without resources, it's very difficult for me to build up so many fans from scratch. What I talked about in the live broadcast yesterday, 10,000 people can listen, hundreds of thousands, or even a million people can listen, but for a dozen or twenty people, it takes a long time to persist. With the current high-speed and developed network, I don't have that much time to waste, so I must have a big platform, and that platform is like yours."
Just as I thought!
Just as I had imagined.
Suppressing his excitement at the prospect of attracting talent, he asked another question: "Professor Xu, have many people contacted you since yesterday?"
Xu Renshan did not deny it; "Indeed, many live streaming companies contacted me, wanting me to work for them, and they offered very attractive prices."
Chen Zhe's heart skipped a beat.
Did you agree?
Xu Renshan shook his head; "I've said it before, my interest is in being a teacher, not in selling goods."
Chen Zhe could imagine that other companies must have offered Xu Renshan a very good price. It was truly admirable that this vocational school teacher was able to stick to his principles and not be tempted.
"Teacher Xu, so your requirements haven't changed? You still want to help those 2,000 students find jobs?"
Xu Renshan nodded; "That's right."
“I understand, but to be honest, it’s unlikely that we can get those 2,000 people to work for companies under the Linglong Chamber of Commerce.”
"Then there's no need for us to continue this conversation..."
Xu Renshan stood up and was about to leave.
Chen Zhe called him back again; "Wait a minute, Professor Xu, how about we change our thinking? You start a company and have those students work for you, what do you say?"
Xu Renshan turned his head and paused for a moment.
"Mr. Chen, I don't understand what you mean?"
Chen Zhe chuckled. "Teacher Xu, what I mean is that I'll fund the start of a company for you. I'll set up the resource platform and everything else for you. You can arrange the positions for your students yourself. What do you think?"
Xu Renshan took a deep breath. Since last night, many companies had offered him attractive positions, but none of them were as generous as Chen Zhe. Chen Zhe's generosity made him a little uneasy.
"Mr. Chen, you're going to invest so much just because I did well in one of my live streams? Aren't you afraid?"
"Haha, if it were just one successful live stream, it would indeed seem very risky, but based on our conversation just now, I'm quite convinced that you're not a simple person, and I'm willing to bet on you."
Xu Renshan's expression was no longer calm. The temptation Chen Zhe offered was too great, and he was really tempted, but he did not agree immediately.
"Mr. Chen, please give me a day to think about it."
Chen Zhe nodded; "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing: you can't mention what I'm telling you today to anyone. This is a secret between you and me. And my future investments won't go through me; they'll go through other people. Do you understand?"
Xu Renshan nodded; "I understand."
Xu Renshan turned and left. Watching his departing figure, Chen Zhe pondered many things. This was probably the biggest bet he had ever made. Could he win? He wasn't entirely sure.
Back at the apartment that evening, Chen Zhe told Hu Ling about rejecting Xu Renshan. Hu Ling nodded; she had already seen everything from the surveillance room.
But then she asked another question: "If you rejected him, why did you still go to his school to look for him?"
Chen Zhe sneered inwardly. This woman was indeed monitoring him at all times, even knowing that he had gone out to find Xu Renshan.
"Sister Hu, after thinking about it, I want to confirm whether he has been recruited by other companies. If so, I want to know the specifics to prevent him from posing a threat to us."
Hu Ling nodded. Chen Zhe's explanation was very reasonable, and it was in line with her cautious approach to things.
"And what was the result?"
Chen Zhe frowned; "The result is pretty much what I expected. Many companies have offered him jobs, and he's still hesitating."
Hu Ling's expression darkened upon hearing this, but she didn't believe this person posed a significant threat to her.
"Keep an eye on him; if he tries to rise up, nip it in the bud."
"Of course, I know how to do it."
