Chapter 75 - 37: Persona
The three of them browsed through the electronics market, bought the rest of the necessary equipment, and also purchased two new Huawei phones each for Zhao Jingyi and Xia Mengxue.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to buy iPhones; the two of them simply preferred Huawei.
One would be for live streaming and editing videos, and the other for daily use.
As for the rest of the equipment, she naturally had the store arrange for it all to be delivered.
Jiang Li looked the two of them up and down for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "It looks like you two don’t have many clothes. I’ll take you to buy some outfits and jewelry later."
Zhao Jingyi refused without a second thought. "There’s no need to go to a physical store for clothes. We can just buy some from one of those discount shopping apps."
’Even if this isn’t a completely free investment, we should save every penny we can.’
A single piece of clothing from a boutique could cost hundreds or even thousands, but on those apps, you can get things for just a few bucks or a little over ten. The value is incredible.
To be fair, Jiang Li used to enjoy shopping on those apps herself. The prices were low, and the customer service was fantastic.
Though she mostly just bought fruit.
But Jiang Li disagreed. "You’re the first influencers for the company, after all. We can’t just wing it."
She looked at Xia Mengxue. "With your refined looks, you could pull off the ’wealthy heiress’ persona."
Then she turned to Zhao Jingyi. "As for you, you can build an inspirational persona of someone who came from a poor mountain village."
To be an influencer, you had to have a persona.
Besides, the internet is a mix of fact and fiction. Who really cares what’s real and what isn’t?
Though both were familiar with the internet, this was their first time becoming influencers, so they couldn’t help but lack confidence. "Can we really do that?"
Jiang Li nodded emphatically. "Yes, of course you can."
"If you’re committed, forget about just a wealthy heiress persona—you could even claim to be the daughter of the world’s richest man."
Zhao Jingyi and Xia Mengxue exchanged a look, then turned to Jiang Li and said with solemn resolve, "Boss, we’ll do whatever you say."
Jiang Li smiled, satisfied. "Alright, let’s go shopping at the mall."
’If they’re going for the wealthy heiress persona, then luxury goods and custom-tailored items are a must.’
’Of course, besides the wardrobe and accessories, they’ll also need cars and houses.’
’Since I’m going to make them famous influencers,’ she thought, ’I might as well just buy a few villas.’
’They won’t just provide a backdrop for filming; they can also be used as sets.’
’Once you have the influencers, don’t you also have the cast for short video dramas?’
’These days, fewer people are watching traditional TV, while more and more are watching short video dramas.’
’Why not seize this opportunity to make an absolute killing?’
First, Jiang Li took the two of them to the mall and bought a mountain of clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.
Then, she contacted Liu Bo and bought ten villas in one go, each with a different style of interior design.
After buying the villas, she went to a dealership and bought ten supercars and ten luxury sedans.
Jiang Li’s wholesale-style shopping spree completely stunned Zhao Jingyi and Xia Mengxue.
They knew Jiang Li was rich, but they never imagined she was *this* rich.
She had spent hundreds of billions in one fell swoop. It was as if money wasn’t even money to Jiang Li—just a string of numbers.
At the same time, they were incredibly glad they had approached Shen Yanzhi earlier that day; otherwise, they never would have met such an amazing boss as Jiang Li.
Just as she finished wiring the money to the car dealership, she got a call from Zhong Xu. He cut right to the chase: "Boss, they’re asking for 800 trillion."
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Li nodded in agreement. "Fine. Send me the payment details."
’It’s only 800 trillion,’ she mused. ’It won’t even make a dent in my bank account balance.’
Zhong Xu couldn’t help but gulp. "Are you sure?"
"This is 800 trillion! Not 8 million, not 800!"
Jiang Li pursed her lips. "I don’t need a nagging assistant."
The implication was clear: if he kept questioning her, he’d be out of a job.
An assistant’s job was to follow orders.
Do what the boss says, and don’t question any of their decisions.
Zhong Xu knew he had overstepped his bounds and immediately said respectfully, "Understood. I’ll send you the other party’s payment information right now."
A second later, a message came through on WeChat: a string of numbers for an account, followed by a name.
Jiang Li opened Alipay, entered the amount, and initiated the transfer.
Once the transfer was successful, she took a screenshot and sent it to Zhong Xu.
After all that was done, Jiang Li put her phone back in her bag. "Alright, let’s go. Since we’ve bought the hotel, we’ll head back there now."
She had bought the hotel to serve as their employee dormitory, so now that the purchase was complete, there was no need to find another place for them to stay.
It just goes to show, you have to push yourself. Otherwise, you’ll never know your own limits.
