Chapter 92: Pilot Live Streaming Emerce


    He Xueqian: I asked, and he’s still making money from futures. He even acquired a live streaming guild recently.<div>


    ssmate E: Holy shit, a live streaming guild!


    ssmate R: Short videos are all the rage now. Acquiring a live streaming guild seems like a smart move.


    ssmate Y: Xu Yang really has his eye on the trend. He must be making a killing, otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.


    ssmate U: @Xu Yang, I think I have the potential to be a vlogger. Can I sign with your guild?


    ssmate I: It’s not so much that you’ve got potential to be a vlogger, more like you think you’ve got a shot with the female streamers, eh?


    ssmate O: Nonsense, I just want to be a vlogger, nothing else. I’m very pure-hearted.<div>


    ssmate P: If you’re pure-hearted, then there’s no such thing as innocence in this world.


    He Xueqian: Guys, I’m heading back to my hometown tomorrow. You’re all wee to visit. It’s Ancheng in Sichuan West Province. Just contact me if youe, I’ll be your tour guide.


    ssmate A: @He Xueqian, why are you going back to your hometown?


    ssmate B: What else could it be? Life in Jiangcheng isn’t easy.


    ssmate C: Jiangcheng isn’t exactly weing to people like us. It’s better to go back home. Have a safe trip.


    ssmate D: @He Xueqian, if I ever get a chance to visit your hometown, I’ll definitely hit you up.


    ssmate E: Sigh, another ssmate’s leaving, who knows when we’ll see each other again.


    …


    On the bus.


    Zhao Yuxin couldn’t stopughing as she read the messages in the ss group chat, and she shared the updates with Xu Yang in real time, asking him if he wanted to reply.


    Xu Yang said, “Don’t bother with them, no need to reply.”


    Most of the messages in the group were for entertainment. There was no need to take them too seriously.<div>


    Like the thing about acquiring the live streaming guild, there was no need to reply. Nobody really wanted to know.


    “Mm-hm,” Zhao Yuxin naturally knew that was the case. “But Li Hai is right, with Xue Qian leaving, who knows when we’ll get to meet again?”


    …


    In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Day arrived.


    Today was the day that Fengcai Guild and Douyin coborated to pilot a live streaming marketing event.


    It was scheduled to start at ten o’clock at the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel.


    Nine in the morning.


    At the entrance of Jiangcheng Grand Hotel, a red carpet had beenid out.


    Fengcai Guild had booked the first and second floors of the hotel for the entire day.


    A crowd had gathered at the entrance.


    The streamers of Fengcai Guild each had over a million fans.


    These fans may not be as fanatical as those of popr celebrities, but they were enough to draw a crowd.<div>


    Plus, some media reporters were invited to cover the event, boosting the hype even more.


    Upon arrival, Xu Yang was quite pleased with the scene.


    This was the impact he wanted. He aimed to make Fengcai Guild a household name.


    Xiao Dongsheng, supervising on site, saw Xu Yang and immediately came to greet him.


    Xu Yang asked, “Old Xiao, how’s everything going?”


    Xiao Dongsheng immediately replied, “All set, don’t worry. Judging by the streamers’ fans’ feedback, this live streaming event is going to be a hit.”


    Xu Yang smiled and nodded. He trusted Xiao Dongsheng a lot and asked, “When does Li Liangping arrive?”


    The sess of this live stream marketing event was pivotal to determining whether Douyin could carve a share of this lucrative market. Douyin’s CEO, Li Liangping, attached great importance to it and nned to attend the event personally.


    Xiao Dongsheng checked his watch: “Li Liangping just called me a while ago, said he’snded and is on his way here. He should arrive by nine-thirty.”


    Xu Yang nodded, “Good.”


    Suddenly it was nine forty. A Bentley pulled up at the hotel entrance.


    Li Liangping, apanied by his assistant, stepped out of the car, and Xu Yang and Xiao Dongsheng immediately went forward to meet him.<div>


    “President Li, thank you for attending this event,” Xu Yang shook hands with Li Liangping.


    “President Xu, no need for formalities. This is a joint event, and I’ve been looking forward to it,” Li Liangping said with a smile.


    Afterward, Li Liangping also shook hands with Xiao Dongsheng.


    Speaking of which, Li Liangping and Xiao Dongsheng were quite familiar with each other.


    After all, it was Xiao Dongsheng who had contacted Li Liangping.


    After exchanging a few words, they started to take photos together for keepsake.


    This was an indispensable part, needed for thepany’s promotional material.


    Just as they were taking the photos,


    a Porsche drove past the front of Jiangcheng Grand Hotel.


    Two people were sitting in the car, Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei.


    Today being New Year’s Day, Chen Guanglei had invited Zhao Yulu to go hiking in an attempt to foster their rtionship.


    “Huh, what’s this event about? It looks quite lively,”<div>


    Chen Guanglei, upon noticing the bustling scene at Jiangcheng Grand Hotel, slowed down the car.


    “Don’t know,” Zhao Yulu said, looking around curiously.


    “Yu Lu, how about we stop and take a look?” Chen Guanglei suggested.


    Such a lively scene seemed worth checking out.


    “Okay,” Zhao Yulu had no objections.


    After all, they were just out for fun, and taking a look wouldn’t hurt.


    Chen Guanglei drove into the hotel’s open-air parking lot.


    After parking the car, they both got out.


    Zhao Yulu saw a car diagonally across from them and frowned.


    “What’s wrong?” Chen Guanglei asked, puzzled. Following Zhao Yulu’s gaze, he eximed, “Huh, that’s a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, must belong to some rich person.”


    Even for him, a second-generation rich kid, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan was notmonly seen.


    Those who could afford such a car were usually super-rich.<div>


    “That’s Xu Yang’s car,” Zhao Yulu stated.


    “What!” Chen Guanglei eximed in shock, “How could he possibly afford that car? Has he gone mad?”


    He knew that even his father, a tycoon worth several billion, didn’t own such a car.


    It wasn’t a matter of affordability, but rather he felt unworthy of it.


    This was a top-tier luxury car.


    How would someone worth several billion be viewed by billionaires worth hundreds of billions or even a trillion when driving such a car?


    Simrly, being a little rich second-generation with assets worth several billion, Chen Guanglei might buy a sports car worth a few million at most, ten million tops.


    He couldn’tpare to those second-generation rich whose families were worth hundreds of billions or a trillion.


    They drove hypercars worth thirty or forty million, so you couldn’t drive the same.


    Otherwise, how would those other rich second generations feel?


    Drive a humble car, and others would say you’re thrifty, low-key.


    But you can’t be too showy, you have to be mindful of others’ gazes.


    If not, others would start to resent you.


    Once they resent you, your good days are over.


    So in certain circles, what car you drive matters quite a bit.


    Xu Yang just made some money specting futures and picking up antiques, what qualifications does he have to buy a Rolls-Royce Cullinan?


    In his eyes, Xu Yang was crazy.


    “It’s definitely his car, I remember the license te number,” Zhao Yulu said.


    “This country bumpkin made a bit of money and bought a Rolls-Royce Cullinan to show off. He really doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!” Chen Guanglei said with disdain.


    Zhao Yulu didn’t say anything.


    She too didn’t quite agree with Xu Yang’s choice to buy a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.


    After all, no matter what, Xu Yang could not bepared to billionaires with assets of tens or hundreds of billions.


    Buying such a car was indeed too ostentatious.


    “What is this guy doing here?” Chen Guanglei frowned, his eyes flickering, “Yu Lu, do you think Xu Yang could be here cheating on your sister with some other woman?”


    Zhao Yulu was taken aback, not expecting Chen Guanglei to suggest that and shook her head, “That’s not possible, Xu Yang is not that kind of person.”


    After being in a rtionship for four years, Zhao Yulu knew Xu Yang quite well.


    Back in university, many girls had a crush on Xu Yang, but he never crossed the line.
