Chapter 484 - 261: The Importance of Chen Jincheng
As the head of Kuaishou, Chen Yixiao also saw Tiao Yin’s updated leaderboard data right away.
When he saw Jiang Xiaobai’s sales figures of over 7.3 million in one hour, his expression soured. The data on the leaderboard was undeniable proof of the potential of Tiao Yin’s new feature.
"Damn it," Chen Yixiao cursed.
They had already integrated their resources, and their new algorithm was about to go live. The original plan was to use it to poach from Tiao Yin and deal them a major blow.
But now, the competition had launched this feature, and its potential was clearly immense. This was definitely not good news.
When he saw the data his secretary handed him, he froze for a moment. "Four of the top five on this list are artists from Chen Jincheng’s company?"
That was truly astonishing.
In other words, half of the top ten were Chen Jincheng’s people.
That was terrifying.
A glint appeared in his eyes. He immediately ordered his assistant, "Get the tech department to start developing this shopping cart feature right now. I don’t care what it takes. I want this feature launched as fast as possible."
"Also, have our people keep trying to contact Chen Jincheng. He didn’t explicitly reject us last time, did he? That means there’s still room to negotiate!"
Since Tiao Yin’s feature had already shown its terrifying potential, the only thing they could do was launch the same feature themselves.
Once they did, as long as they could poach Chen Jincheng, their shopping cart feature would immediately have the strength to compete with Tiao Yin’s, allowing them to catch up quickly.
Then the shopping cart would no longer be Tiao Yin’s exclusive advantage, and Kuaishou’s new algorithm could still deal them a heavy blow.
"Understood, President Chen." The assistant nodded and immediately left the office to make the arrangements.
...
Over at Second-Life Star, Sister Hong and the others were naturally ecstatic.
Especially Jiang Xiaobai.
Over 7.3 million in sales meant a 20% commission of 1.46 million. Her 30% cut of that was over 400,000.
Over 400,000 in a single hour.
She was making money just by lying down again.
Although Yinyin didn’t make as much, she still pulled in 250,000 in an hour. She was also making money just by lying down.
Ximeng naturally earned the most, since she not only got a commission but also a share of the studio’s profits. She, too, was making money just by lying down.
’Their eyes lit up, and they all started thinking about how they should lie down when he got back to make him even happier, to make things more exciting.’
They knew exactly who they had to thank for being able to earn all this money. Wasn’t it because they knew *how* to lie down? If they didn’t lie down well, how could it be their turn to make money while lying down?
Also celebrating, of course, were Li Ya, Piaorun Shampoo, and Luna Stockings. Seeing Second-Life Star’s sales data for just one hour, they couldn’t help but start sending out red envelopes in the group chat.
If anyone at Second-Life Star wasn’t completely happy, it would only be Sister Feiye. Or rather, she was both happy and unhappy.
After all, she was a dedicated advertising influencer with over 18.5 million followers. When it came to promoting products through videos, she considered herself the best at Second-Life Star.
Her numbers were great, but the gap between her and Yinyin and Jiang Xiaobai was just too wide, especially with Jiang Xiaobai.
She could make the excuse that a product like shampoo naturally had a smaller market than stockings or lingerie.
But she also clearly recognized one thing: the most important factor was the boss’s planning.
Take PK streamers like Gao Yanyan. They had more followers than her, but their sales data was still worse, let alone comparable to Yinyin’s and Jiang Xiaobai’s.
It was all due to the boss’s planning.
Looking at Jiang Xiaobai and Yinyin’s numbers, she knew that without the boss’s plan, their fanbases could never have generated such results.
So, it all came down to the boss.
Chen Jincheng was also looking at the two shopping cart leaderboards. He wasn’t surprised by the four girls’ sales figures.
Compared to the livestreaming sales records from the other world, these numbers were nothing.
However, he also noticed some differences from the other world.
For instance, two influencers from OST were ranked very high, and three other influencers also had good numbers. This was different from the other world.
In the other world, the initial shopping cart experiment hadn’t produced such good results, so MCNs hadn’t paid much attention to the feature at this stage.
Things were clearly different now.
And OST truly lived up to its reputation as the MCN that reached 5-star Guild status the fastest in the other world. They were indeed formidable.
The one thing that was roughly the same was the performance of the PK streamers.
In the other world, PK streamers had been all the rage right after the shopping cart feature went live. This was mainly because they had huge fanbases at that stage, and their "armies" had immense spending power.
Fans who would spend money on donations could also be convinced to buy some products to show support. This continued until those PK streamers started shamelessly fleecing their fans and scandals broke out, which led to their eventual decline.
’This is for the best,’ he thought. ’With this false prosperity from the PK streamers, the scandals will erupt just like they did in the other world.’
As time went on, the video sales data for various influencers grew rapidly. The two leaderboards naturally became a hot topic, drawing everyone’s attention.
Jiang Xiaobai’s nightgown sales continued to soar, leaving people breathless.
As night fell, however, the growth trend for Yinyin’s stocking sales actually surpassed Jiang Xiaobai’s for a time.
It was clear just how successful the two ad videos Chen Jincheng had filmed were. They truly created an overwhelming desire to buy.
Who could resist imagining it? Jiang Xiaobai in that sexy nightgown, with that ecstatic expression on her face... Who could truly understand that feeling of immersion?
And just then, guided by one clip account after another, people following the matter started to turn their attention to something else.
Why wasn’t Chen Jincheng promoting any products?
What was he going to sell?
