Chapter 485 - 262: Securing the Rice Phone Ad
On Tiao Yin, curiosity about what products Chen Jincheng would be selling quickly landed him on the trending list.
And the topic was climbing higher and higher.
This made countless people marvel at his popularity—he hadn’t even done anything yet and was already attracting so much attention.
But what no one knew was that Chen Jincheng had orchestrated this hype himself, having Yijin’s clip accounts work behind the scenes. Otherwise, no matter how much people wondered what he would sell, it wouldn’t have been enough to get on the trending list.
This was all part of his marketing and warm-up strategy.
Just as everyone online was wondering what products Chen Jincheng would sell, he received a call from Sister Hong. "Boss, something to report. The people from Kuaishou are contacting us again. They’ve made a lot of offers this time. Should I respond?"
Chen Jincheng laughed when he heard this.
’Looks like the shopping cart feature has already made them take me more seriously.’
’But not seriously enough.’
He said to Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, don’t respond. Ignore them for now!"
’The timing isn’t right yet.’
’Tiao Yin hasn’t been hit by the false advertising and product quality crisis yet.’
’Kuaishou’s new algorithm hasn’t gone live.’
’The war hasn’t reached its critical point.’
’I need to make myself even more important.’
’That’s why this trip to Rice Group is crucial. I have to win the Rice Phone ad campaign.’
「Time passed.」
The next morning, after waking up and washing up, Chen Jincheng took out his phone to check the sales data for Jiang Xiaobai and the other girls.
Overnight, Jiang Xiaobai’s sales had reached 40.85 million yuan, with over 600,000 orders.
At this rate, her video sales would easily surpass the order count from last time.
Yinyin’s stocking sales had reached 25.32 million yuan.
Ximeng’s, 15.25 million yuan.
Sister Feiye’s, 19.21 million yuan.
The total sales had already surpassed 100 million.
Reaching a final sales figure of 150 million shouldn’t be a problem.
In his past life, it was commonplace for livestream sales to break 100 million. There were 275 brands that surpassed 100 million in livestream sales, and 111 streamers who did the same on their channels.
One channel even set a record with total sales of 6.4 billion.
But this was 2018, and Second-Life Star’s video sales record was absolutely one of a kind.
And that was the truth. Other influencers and MCN companies were simply no match for them.
And this was before he had even started selling products through his own videos.
Chen Jincheng closed Tiao Yin and sent a message to Sister Feiye, inviting her to breakfast.
Sister Feiye immediately agreed. A short while later, she emerged wearing a qipao with a "young stepmom" vibe, her hair meticulously styled. The combination of the qipao and that particular aesthetic truly held an indescribable, forbidden allure.
"Boss, how do I look?" Sister Feiye said, stopping in front of him and giving a little spin.
Chen Jincheng looked at her teasingly. "Sister Feiye, with a figure like yours, of course you look good. If my father were still alive, I’d want him to marry you."
Hearing this, Sister Feiye looked at him boldly. "Boss, are you hitting on me? As my would-be stepson?"
Chen Jincheng retorted, "Sister Feiye, why do I get the feeling you’re the one hitting on me?"
Sister Feiye actually nodded. "What if I am? Does the boss want to play a game of the naughty stepson who spies on his young stepmom?"
"Uh..." Chen Jincheng threw his hands up in surrender.
’Seriously. He had all those other girls wrapped around his finger, but he was truly helpless against Sister Feiye.’
’He’d never once managed to get the upper hand with her.’
After they finished breakfast together, they headed straight for the Rice Group headquarters.
The pitch for the mobile phone ad campaign was scheduled for 10 a.m. Moreover, the big boss himself, Lei Xiaojun, would be personally attending to review the proposals.
The participants in this ad pitch were essentially the most famous advertising agencies in the country, along with other creative, award-winning firms.
A total of nine companies had been invited.
Including Chen Jincheng’s Second-Life Star, there were ten competitors in total.
Rice Group had already set up a reception desk in the first-floor lobby of their headquarters, with dedicated staff to welcome those participating in the ad bid.
When Chen Jincheng arrived, he saw the reception desk and walked over. He noticed that the representatives from the other nine advertising agencies were already there, signing their names on a dedicated sign-in board.
The arrival of Chen Jincheng and Sister Feiye naturally drew the attention of the reception staff, all of whom looked surprised.
’Chen Jincheng was incredibly famous now. Not only was he talented and handsome, but the internet was buzzing with news about him today.’
’Even though they knew Chen Jincheng would be coming to the company, seeing him in person was still exciting.’
One of the female receptionists hurried over and said, "Mr. Chen, please sign in on the board here. I’ll take you to the pitch hall."
"Alright." Chen Jincheng took the pen and signed his name on the board.
"This way, Mr. Chen." The receptionist led the way with a warm smile, guiding him to the pitch hall.
The pitch hall at Rice Group was massive. Though the people from the other nine agencies had arrived and were seated in their respective areas, the hall still looked spacious and empty.
At the front of the hall, a huge presentation screen was set up on a platform, ready for the competing agencies to present their proposals.
Chen Jincheng’s entrance captured everyone’s attention.
After all, they had all more or less come across the influencer’s videos while browsing Tiao Yin.
Sometimes, his videos would just pop up in their feeds while they were scrolling through Tiao Yin.
The people from the nine companies were clearly aware that he would also be competing for this ad campaign. After all, Boss Lei himself had posted about it on Weibo last time.
