There was the Titanic sinking before, and if a plane crashes tomorrow, we can livestream it.

In the future, even if the Titanic crashes into a plane, Shanhaiguan can seize the opportunity to thrive.”

“Bro, you seem a bit too passionate about your career.

Publicity stunts aren’t worth risking your life for.”

“What’s the big deal?

When the time comes, we’ll each grab a side of the cabin door.

I’ll shout ‘you jump,’ and you shout…”

“Wait, isn’t that line supposed to be together?

You shout ‘you jump, I jump,’ and I shout ‘don’t do it.’

“You just don’t get it.

We’ll start with half the line, then let the viewers send rockets to continue.

If they don’t send rockets, aren’t we livestreaming for nothing?”

“…!

Cheng, you’re really a genius!”

“Right?

What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“Bro, you’re going to discuss the prospects later on.

How about we cut the chatter and you get ready?”

“What’s so difficult about that?

With CEO Gu backing us and Dongxin Group’s name, it would be strange if these upstream suppliers didn’t give us face.

Besides, sweet words are useless.

You need to grind more to create profits for Shanhaiguan.”

“With profits come valuation, and once the valuation goes up, it’ll be easy to do whatever we want in the future.”

“Then I want to eat the most expensive thing!”

“Perfect, I’ll make a reservation.

You can shoot a vlog of dining at a top restaurant for lunch.

What do you think?”

“Forget it.

Has Mi’er already left?”

“Yes, she’s gone back to America to recruit people.

After Christmas, she’s sending a team to Hua Country.

Starting next year, OC will fully enter Hua Country.”

“So, your trending on the hot search again is another marketing stunt for OC’s entry into Hua Country?”

“It also keeps me trending.

Nowadays, those traffic stars are shameless, all bots and data manipulation.

If I want to trend, I can’t do it without some thought.”

“She’s gone, Lisa’s gone too…

then let’s go to Wuyuan Bay and cook lunch ourselves, shall we?

Cooking vlogs are more interesting than restaurant vlogs.”

“We’ve got to sign a contract with Home Good Products this afternoon, which is…”

“Come on, pretty please~”

There’s no resisting.

You simply can’t say no.

How could you refuse a kind, beautiful, smart, justice-minded, principled, empathetic, logical girl who makes reasonable arguments and works hard alongside you in your startup venture?

Especially when her request is not overbearing at all, and she just flew across oceans to help you with your business…

CEO Cheng couldn’t refuse.

“No problem!”

—————–

The supplier issue was easy to resolve.

Cheng always picked high-profit products—electric toothbrushes, massage pillows, facial cleansing mousses, body washes, and stamina pills.

Shanhaiguan had registered a bunch of sales companies, playing the game of private labeling.

Why do so many video bloggers in the future take on ads from companies like Growing Seed Home and Magical World?

Because there’s profit!

Cheng was now in control of both traffic and goods, with no middlemen to take a cut.

His main strategy was to ruthlessly earn big.

If advertisement-driven sales proved to be lucrative, Shanhaiguan had the chance to stop seeking financing altogether—Dingyi’s money wasn’t easy to get!

In the first half of next year, they’d stabilize cash flow via sales, and in the second half, they’d launch full-scale live-selling, expanding nationwide.

The preliminary integration attempts of the supply chain were in preparation for the upcoming live-selling craze.

Once live-selling took off, going public wasn’t an elusive issue anymore.

The goal of listing before next March was to have a financing platform for the influx of foreign capital.

But if money wasn’t an issue, there was no urgent need to go public yet.

Time was on Cheng Daqi’s side.

MCN provided a traffic foundation for Cheng’s ventures, and on top of that, live-selling was a golden opportunity easily within sight—just look at how Boss Yu from New Oriental turned his fortunes around with it!

But beyond live-selling, with the power of traffic, there was much more Cheng could do.

For instance, social e-commerce and cross-border shopping.

Therefore, Cheng Daqi supported Zhao’s and ‘Home Good Products’ tussle and even roped in Shanhaiguan to stand up for them.

Infamy, sometimes with just a bit of transformation, can turn into tremendous traffic.

Of course, Cheng was no fool; he set up two firewalls.

The first was the variety show “Let’s Farm,” with Shanhaiguan as a producer.

The company’s influencers would promote the show’s portrayal of rural revitalization in Southern Fujian, a “righteous cause.”

The second was Ai Guobei, who was on his way back to the country.

Before his return, Cheng had already assigned him a task.

For a while, he would play the role of an ‘unpunished Joker,’ transforming from an attacker of Cheng into a regular current affairs influencer lying low.

When the time was right, he’d stir up the Southern Group to attack Shanhaiguan and Cheng again.

At that point, Cheng would sue Ai Guobei a second time.

The law would exonerate Cheng, and regretful tears would prove he was wronged.

This was why Cheng dared to push Home Good Products to the edge.

In the traffic business, reputation is important, but sometimes, taking calculated risks without crashing can bring great rewards.

Cheng Daqi was confident he wouldn’t crash!

Of course, Cheng wasn’t always at the forefront; there were things he couldn’t do himself—for future deniability.

In the Shanhaiguan headquarters’ meeting room, Dong Zecheng, accompanied by Yang Yuan, Cao Yueyue, Zhao Hongjin, and others, was negotiating with Wang Xiaoxiao, the chairman of ‘Home Good Products.’

“Chairperson Wang, you are a remarkable woman.

I thought Manager Zhong Yajun was impressive, but then I found out that you, Chairperson Wang, are also a woman.

I’m truly ashamed!”

Dong Zecheng was cursing inwardly, smiling outwardly, and delivering flattery while his whole being was torn.

What could he do?

Under the weight of the big boss’s orders, he had to deal with swindlers like Wang Xiaoxiao who transitioned from pyramid schemes.
