"What video?"
Yelena found it strange; this director was usually quite composed, so why was he so easily startled by a video?
My eyes were drawn to the phone screen, and a striking headline immediately caught my eye.
[Would anyone really break their own ribs to make soup for someone else?]
What does this mean? The title is all in Chinese characters, but I can't understand it when they're put together.
Before Yelena could react, the video started playing, and a gentle male voice rang out, without any major emotional fluctuations, as if it were just a simple statement.
"Recently, a well-known education group in the province issued a statement announcing a donation of 23 million yuan to thousands of impoverished senior high school students in the province to improve their lives and pay for their first year of university tuition and living expenses."
"According to current statistics, each impoverished student will receive an average of nearly 10,000 yuan in aid."
The voice paused for a moment, and then two images appeared on the video.
One of the images is a screenshot of a trending topic on Weibo, where Wanluo Group's donation ranked fifth.
The second image is a screenshot of a Weibo comment: "No way! You're almost bankrupt, and you're still donating money? Are you even going to keep your company running?"
This screenshot has tens of thousands of comments and likes.
"After the donation was announced, news about Wanluo Company immediately became a trending topic. However, what's a little sad is that it wasn't the donation itself that trended, but rather the comment below that pushed it to the top."
"Come on, everyone, take a look. This is a comparison of financial reports I found. These are the financial reports of three similar education companies in the province last year."
Immediately afterwards, a simple data comparison chart appeared.
Yip's Education Company's net profit last year: 471 million
Mo's Education Company's net profit last year: 81.45 million
Wanluo Education Company (formerly known as Wenshi Education Company last year) net profit: -34.12 million yuan.
"We can see that Wanluo Education Company was already in a loss-making state last year. According to insiders, the company's net profit this year is not enough to make up for last year's losses, only about 30 million yuan."
"A source, suspected to be an employee of the company, revealed that the company's finance department appears to be undergoing bankruptcy liquidation, leaving behind a portion of severance pay for employees and some cost expenditures, while the rest has been donated."
"Some netizens commented below, 'I never heard of such a philanthropic and socially responsible domestic company before. They're so low-key!'"
"Finally, please give more support to these companies. Helping them is helping our own children."
"I'm not going to say anything more. I'll go to Wanluo Education's platform right now to see if there are any courses that suit me and buy one to support them."
The video ended there. After Yelena looked at the view count, which had exceeded one million, she felt that ominous feeling she had just had was magnified to the extreme.
"Oh no! Quickly open Wanluo Education's live stream and take a look!"
Yelena was also somewhat flustered. She couldn't give orders to specific people, and without specific instructions, most people were at a loss.
At this moment, the technician closest to her reacted first and immediately searched for the live stream and clicked in.
"Chairman Ye! The live stream is now open."
Yelena stepped forward, not even bothering to praise the technician, and immediately focused on the live stream.
At this moment, the live stream was completely surrounded by countless comments and gifts. She could hardly see any specific images, and could only hear a pleasant and sweet voice anxiously calling out.
"Please consume rationally! Everyone, please calm down! We currently only have 2,000 online one-on-one courses available! If we add any more, we won't have any teachers left to take on classes this month!"
At this moment, the barrage of comments flooded into the live stream again.
We don't need teachers, we can learn on our own! Hurry up and share the link!
[You've already made a reckless donation, and now you're telling us to consume rationally? I advise you to mind your own business!]
[Did you hear that? People with the surname Li are all out spending money! Where are all the people with the surname Li?!]
My mom's last name is Li, so I can also make purchases!
My wife's surname is Li, so I can also make purchases!
My neighbor's third uncle's eldest nephew's cousin also has the surname Li, so I can also use her!
"Our teaching materials are being reprinted, the printing press is already smoking! Everyone, please stop rushing us! Calm down!"
[Did you all hear that, guys?! Their printing press is still running! Still smoking! But it's still not powerful enough!]
[Charge! We'd be doing a disservice to their donations if we didn't cripple the printing presses!]
Stop printing! Send me the paper version! Send me the electronic version! We'll print it ourselves!
【That's right! We can print them ourselves! No, we should print them for them! Hurry up! Send over the paper! We'll print them!】
"Even if you're thinking of buying, please let me explain the course! Don't be in such a rush, listen to the details before you decide whether to buy or not!"
The livestream hostess was almost in tears; the livestream had completely spiraled out of her control.
[So much nonsense! What details do you need! Just post the link! I'd buy it even if your link is full of nothing!]
[Details? You didn't even consider the possibility of going bankrupt when you donated money, so why should we be concerned about the details of your courses now?]
"Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, I need to have a sip of water. I'll continue after I have a sip of water."
[Get off the plane now, stop talking, we'll buy it ourselves!]
[Exactly, all the streamers can take a break. We'll just buy whatever we have; we don't need your introductions.]
[Are you selling that light in the live stream? Are you selling the screen? Hurry! Post the link!]
After finishing her water, the livestreaming girl quickly went back into the livestream room, and seeing the comments, she could only continue shouting.
"Please! There really aren't any more! Not a single class left!"
"Now all that's left is the course replay!"
[Holy crap! I knew there was more! Hurry up and upload the replay link too!]
【This is great! There's definitely no limit to the number of servings, hurry! Give me ten servings first! I'll get one for each of my relatives' children!】
[Still hiding something? Give it to me!]
[Wanluo Education, I advise you not to be ungrateful. Hurry up and hand over everything you can! I'll buy all the waste paper you've sold for!]
"Holy crap! Bro! Don't send gifts! This is a real live stream selling courses! Don't send so many gifts! 400,000 gifts! Just kill me!"
[I'm determined to be the top contributor today! Even Jesus can't stop me, I'm telling you!]
[Ha, you're determined to be the one? I, Ye Liangchen, love to fight those who believe they have the ability. Here, 500,000!]
【I, Zhao Ritian, am here to lend my support! I'll start with 700,000!】
The pleading voices of the livestream girl, the overwhelming barrage of comments, and the ever-increasing number of gifts echoed throughout the cafeteria.
All the senior executives of the Yip Group felt like their brains were about to shut down.
No, what kind of amazing live streaming method is this?
"ah!"
Yelena was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise before immediately issuing the order.
"Everyone! Get back to your workstations immediately! Compile data on changes in customer numbers and online course purchases over the next three hours!"
Before the executives present could react, Yelena slammed her fist heavily on the table and roared out in a rare outburst.
"Didn't you hear my order? Go now!"
