Chapter 629 - 323: Hanfu Outing Day! Killing Three Birds with One Stone
Han Shangyou thought for a moment, then said to his assistant, "Contact them. I’m also curious to see what they want to talk to me about."
"Yes, President Han." The assistant nodded and immediately got to work.
A short while later, from his hotel room, Chen Jincheng was on a video call with Han Shangyou.
This was the first time Chen Jincheng had seen this President Han in this world. Compared to his counterpart in the other world, this one was much more full of vigor.
"President Chen, this is the first time we’ve spoken." Han Shangyou thought for a moment before starting with the title "President Chen." After all, the man had certainly earned it now.
Between President Lei’s investment and Second-Life Star’s 15 billion valuation, the man’s assets were far beyond his own reach.
After the greeting, he continued, "Also, congratulations on acquiring Black Cat TV’s streamers. With the upcoming guild evaluations, Second-Life Star will soon be Tiao Yin’s only 5-star Guild."
"Second-Life Star still relies on Tiao Yin, and I’ll be counting on President Han’s support in the future." Chen Jincheng offered this small assurance, signaling he had no intention of leaving Tiao Yin.
After all, establishing a branch guild on Kuaishou right now would definitely provoke Tiao Yin. Now that he had provoked them and they had given him the resources he wanted, he could use the momentum to promote the Black Cat TV streamers on Tiao Yin. It was time to ease the tension.
That would make the rest of their conversation go more smoothly.
Han Shangyou naturally understood. He felt a sense of relief. As long as Chen Jincheng didn’t go to Kuaishou, Tiao Yin’s shopping cart feature wouldn’t be affected, and it would prevent any negative fallout.
So, he followed up with a smile, "President Chen, our shopping cart section is booming right now. I was wondering, when do you plan on hosting another sales stream?"
Chen Jincheng’s ability in video e-commerce was the gold standard. The numbers from his two sales streams had been absolutely terrifying.
Given the current trend, every sales stream he hosted would generate more buzz for the shopping cart feature.
The only issue was that he rarely did them. Unlike other influencers who, after a successful sales stream, were eager to host one every day, Chen Jincheng hadn’t done one recently. Only some of Second-Life Star’s other talents were being scheduled for them.
But without Chen Jincheng personally running the show, those talents’ sales streams were only slightly better than other influencers of the same level. They couldn’t achieve the kind of overwhelming dominance his events did.
That’s why he naturally hoped Chen Jincheng would host a few more sales streams.
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng also smiled and said, "President Han, I do have plans for a sales stream in the near future."
"Do you know what kind of products it will be?" Han Shangyou asked curiously.
Chen Jincheng explained, "It’s apparel. It’s for a National Style Hanfu brand that Second-Life Star created ourselves. President Han, you must have seen the new directive from the higher-ups, right? As a public entertainment organization, it’s only natural for Second-Life Star to respond to the call."
Han Shangyou was stunned.
He never would have thought that Chen Jincheng was also paying attention to that directive from the higher-ups.
Most influencers paid no attention to these things, thinking they were irrelevant. They would just wait for Tiao Yin to launch a related event and then scramble to get involved.
’But Chen Jincheng noticed it the moment the directive was issued?’
’The key is that he said "National Style Hanfu." Isn’t that exactly the kind of National Style content I wanted to promote?’
This just went to show how right President Lei had been when he said Chen Jincheng had a great eye for business.
So, it was no surprise that he had achieved so much.
But he quickly realized something was off.
’He said he created the National Style Hanfu brand himself. The directive was just issued, and he’s already created a brand?’
’It’s impossible to be that fast.’
’Unless... he had already started working on it long ago. Did he know about this in advance? Or was it just a coincidence?’
’Those two possibilities meant two completely different things.’
If it was just a coincidence, then Chen Jincheng’s luck was simply off the charts. But if he had known about the news in advance... that was terrifying.
After all, even they at Tiao Yin had only found out when the directive was officially released.
This kind of information was kept absolutely confidential before its public announcement. While not impossible to dig up, it would require significant official power, and connections in Beijing at that.
’Could President Lei have helped him find out? No, that’s not right. The investment from President Lei was too recent. There’s no way he could have launched a clothing brand in such a short time.’
’But besides President Lei, how could an influencer like Chen Jincheng possibly have those kinds of connections?’
If that really was the case, it was genuinely a bit frightening.
Finally, Han Shangyou asked, "President Chen, in that case, how can we at Tiao Yin coordinate with you?"
Regardless of how it came to be, he understood that if Chen Jincheng was hosting a sales stream, he would definitely need to build hype. That was why he had reached out.
Right now, Tiao Yin also wanted him to produce good numbers from his sales stream, so it was a perfect match. Of course they would cooperate.
Chen Jincheng smiled and explained, "President Han, here’s the situation. I have a collaborative plan with Coastal City. They have an Ancient City scenic area project, and I want to promote National Style Hanfu. So, we’re working together on a ’Hanfu Travel Day’ project, which also happens to align perfectly with the directive from the higher-ups."
"So, when the time comes, we’ll need Tiao Yin’s traffic support. I imagine this will be very beneficial for Tiao Yin as well. Coastal City gets its Ancient City scenic project, I get to promote my National Style Hanfu, and Tiao Yin gets a surge in popularity. It’s killing three birds with one stone!"
Han Shangyou was truly shocked now. He thought he might finally understand how Chen Jincheng knew about the directive in advance.
