Chapter 253 The new era has finally arrived!
Chapter 253 The new era has finally arrived!
The news that Kuaishou was trying to poach Chen Jincheng spread, and indeed attracted the attention of many people in the entire Yanyin.
After all, there is fierce competition between the two platforms. Although Yanyin has the advantage now, Kuaishou is also catching up closely.
Chen Jincheng is a popular internet celebrity, so Kuaishou must have some new moves in trying to poach him, right?
President Han Shangyou also learned the news immediately. He immediately called his assistant and ordered, "Go check to see if this news is true."
Although there are many internet celebrities, and some of them are even more popular than Chen Jincheng in live streaming, Chen Jincheng does not live stream often, and his role is not in live streaming.
Unlike other internet celebrities, he is an internet celebrity with his own distinctive style and personality, the kind that cannot be copied or replaced.
There are not many internet celebrities like Yanyin.
The key is that the other party also has an MCN company. Although it has only passed the 2-star review, with the potential of Ershi Xingchen and those female Internet celebrities, it will soon reach 3 stars.
At present, the strongest MCNs are only 3 stars, and there is no 4-star guild yet.
Therefore, if Chen Jincheng was poached by Kuaishou, it would really have some impact.
Han Shangyou has been thinking about this question and waiting for news.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Shangyou finally received a report from his assistant: "Boss Han, I have heard some news through my connections. Kuaishou does have a plan to poach people, but it has been kept secret."
"I also contacted the blogger who posted the message. He didn't elaborate, but only said that he has friends inside Kuaishou and is very sure that this is true."
Han Shangyou immediately asked: "What special actions have Chen Jincheng and Ershi Xingchen taken recently?"
The assistant reported, "No, Chen Jincheng just participated in the music festival of Sujiang Satellite TV, and Ershi Xingchen just released two plans, one is "The Art of Waves", and the other is stripping at the beach, both of which have become hot topics."
"By the way, Chen Jincheng himself also posted a video of shredding clothes. It has received over 200 million likes now. Many internet celebrities are following his example. It should be on the hot list by evening."
"From this, we can see that even if Kuaishou has contacted Chen Jincheng, at least he has no intention of changing jobs. After all, our daily active users are higher than Kuaishou's now."
Han Shangyou nodded and said, "Well, contact Second Generation Star and give Chen Jincheng SS-level traffic, and Second Generation Star will also provide some traffic support."
Although the daily active users of Yanyin are higher now, it is impossible for Chen Jincheng to change jobs, but no matter what, this matter has become a big deal, and Chen Jincheng has to appease it and provide some resources.
Moreover, the fact that the news of Kuaishou digging up Chen Jincheng became a hot topic so quickly might not be due to Chen Jincheng himself fanning the flames.
If this is the case, the other party is also showing that he has no intention of changing jobs, so it is reasonable to give him some benefits.
"By the way." Han Shangyou immediately asked, "Has the shopping cart function been completely resolved?"
We had previously asked Chen Jincheng to experiment with the shopping cart function, which had already proven its feasibility, so the technical department has been working hard to perfect this function during this period.
Even for this National Day, two departments did not work continuously and would not take a holiday until this function was launched.
Now it's finally safe.
This functional section is also regarded by them as a trump card to defeat Kuai Shou.
Moreover, the horrific results that Chen Jincheng had achieved when he helped test the shopping cart function probably also attracted the attention of MCN companies and big internet celebrities.
We should have been preparing for this period of time.
He himself is looking forward to the launch of this feature.
When the assistant heard this question, he also replied: "Boss Han, it's basically complete, and we're just waiting to release the announcement on time in the evening."
Han Sangyou nodded.
……
As this news became a hot topic, Kuaishou naturally found out about it quickly.
The person in charge of Kuaishou is naturally the famous Mr. Chen Yixiao.
When Mr. Chen saw the news, he frowned slightly and immediately asked the relevant person in charge: "What do you think of this matter?"
The person in charge immediately said, "There are two possibilities. One is that someone in our organization leaked it. The second possibility is that it was leaked by Chen Jincheng. Otherwise, it couldn't have been Chen Jincheng."
Mr. Chen nodded and said, "Yes, but it doesn't matter. We can't hide the fact that we poached people. Have those people responded?"
The person in charge shook his head and said, "They are all the same as Chen Jincheng. They didn't respond, nor did they refuse."
Mr. Chen laughed when he heard the news. "We are the type who won't release the eagle until we see the rabbit. There is no need to be too anxious now. ACFUN's barrage function and new data algorithm have been basically perfected after three or four months of integration."
"After compatibility debugging, the update will be available online next month. That will be the time for us to launch a counterattack. We will contact these influencers then. I believe they will make a decision."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." The person in charge replied.
Mr. Chen, however, looked at a video on his mobile phone.
It was the video where Chen Jincheng ripped his shirt to pieces, revealing his muscles.
He immediately said, "I just researched this Chen Jincheng and his Second Life Star, and found that he is a bit special. He is an irreplaceable internet celebrity. Plus, his Second Life Star also has many high-quality female stars. It will be worth spending the money to poach him when the time comes."
The person in charge nodded and immediately wrote down the matter.
...
in the afternoon.
Chen Jincheng asked Wang Yuan to drive his BMW 5 Series to see the conditions of the three breweries.
Since Cai Xiaoyi had just arrived in Linhai City and nothing had been arranged, I had no choice but to take her with me.
As soon as she got in the car, she hugged his arm again and leaned her whole body on him. She was already used to this kind of intimate behavior after coming across Su Jiang.
In fact, the pendulum not only put pressure on his arm, but also caused him to rub against it.
She obviously did this on purpose, and took her pursuit one step further.
The divorced young woman really has no modesty at all.
Wang Yuan saw the situation in the back seat through the rearview mirror and naturally pretended not to see it. How could he not know how fickle his boss was and how the girls around him kept changing.
He really believes what the boss says online about being single, because he really doesn't have a girlfriend, he just has a lot of girls.
At this time, Chen Jincheng received another call from Sister Hong: "Boss, Yanyin contacted me, and they will give you another SS-level live streaming resource."
"Before, you gave an SS-level live streaming resource to the girls in the company, which greatly increased the popularity of the girls' live streaming."
"If we can do it again this time, it will be of great benefit to our goal of becoming a 3-star guild. The recommendation resources of a 3-star guild are incomparable to those of a 2-star guild."
Chen Jincheng naturally knew this. The resources that Yanyin gave to those guilds were naturally not to be distributed to those famous Internet celebrities, but mostly to train newcomers.
Because many recommendation resources don’t have much effect on internet celebrities with millions of fans, but they are very effective in cultivating new talents, which may allow a new talent to stand out.
The more of this kind of resource there is, the better it will be.
Moreover, the streaming of this SS-level live broadcast room can be of great help to his subsequent plans.
However, he said, "Sister Hong, I plan to use this SS-level live streaming room after I go to the Rice Group to deal with the Rice Group's advertising matter (Chapter 215). By then, it can be used to a greater extent."
Sister Hong naturally knew about the invitation for the new mobile phone advertisement from the Rice Group, which was also on October 10th after the National Day.
This advertisement is for the new mobile phone of Rice Group.
If the boss can get the advertisement for the Rice Group, it would be awesome, and it would be equivalent to doing something that would make a sensation in the internet celebrity world.
But she didn't know that her boss was going to do more than just that.
Sister Hong continued, "In addition, Yanyin will also give us a wave of resources for the Second Generation Star. With this wave of resources, if we can plan to promote more artists, then impacting the 3-star guild will be a sure thing, and it can even be completed in a short period of time." Chen Jincheng heard this and understood what Sister Hong meant: "Leave the planning to me. I will write a few plans and let Lao Chen lead the filming."
Afterwards, he asked, "Sister Hong, regarding the news that Kuaishou was trying to poach me, did Yanyin say anything else besides giving me these resources?"
Sister Hong immediately said, "Boss, with all the hype we've created, we've been able to get an SS-level live streaming room to promote the stream, and the entire Second Generation Galaxy has also received a wave of resources, which is already a big gain."
Chen Jincheng understood what Sister Hong meant. Apart from that, Yan Yin did not make any other unnecessary movements.
This is understandable. After all, at this stage, Yinyin is still ahead of Kuaishou, not to mention that the shopping cart function section is about to be launched.
Yanyin intends to rely on this board to defeat Kuaishou.
In this case, why would Yanyin care about Kuaishou's poaching behavior? Being able to provide streaming resources to an SS-level live broadcast room and a wave of resources to Ershi Xingchen is already a very generous performance.
But no one knew that this important shopping cart section would cause trouble for Yan Yin, and put Yan Yin, who was already in adversity, into a desperate situation again.
In another world, in 2024, Yanyin has basically become a giant like Penguin, but few people know that Yanyin’s rise was actually due to several times when it was almost killed, and it was not all smooth sailing.
Chen Jincheng recalled carefully, not missing any details.
In fact, the reason why he asked Sister Hong to hype up this matter was to bring it to light and make both parties pay more attention to him.
In that case, when Kuaishou integrates ACfun resources and launches a new data algorithm, its traffic once exceeds that of Yanyin, and the shopping cart section of Yanyin is in crisis due to false advertising, both parties will remember him.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he must demonstrate sufficient effectiveness and gain the attention of both parties.
The launch of the shopping cart of Yanyin is his opportunity to demonstrate his value, as well as the Hanfu Travel Day in cooperation with the Linhai City Propaganda Association.
Think about it, when Yanyin was in a desperate situation and was almost killed, even Penguin launched a bloody siege at this time, and even the D round of financing was almost stranded, what would happen if Yanyin knew that Kuaishou was trying to poach him again, and the key is that he is still very important?
Similarly, what would happen if Kuaishou was so important when he was about to beat Yanyin to death?
So, we need to plan well next time.
"Sister Hong, after returning to Linhai City, pay attention to some small e-commerce companies and acquire one directly." Chen Jincheng gave one more instruction and hung up the phone.
Whether it is selling products through videos or live streaming, logistics must be the most important aspect, especially product selection. Therefore, directly acquiring a small e-commerce company can accomplish this matter the fastest.
……
There are many domestic breweries because of the huge demand for beer. Another reason is something that everyone knows: OEM factories or fake beer.
There are also factories set up nearby by agents of various brand liquors, which specialize in producing special liquors for supply to nightclubs.
Many people know that with the same wine, you may get drunk after drinking 5 bottles outside, but you may not get drunk even after drinking 10 bottles in a nightclub.
Simply put, wine is the raw liquor supplied by brand manufacturers and can be diluted.
You can say it’s fake wine, but it’s only supplied to nightclubs.
There are many such breweries in Linhai City.
The three breweries Wang Yuan found all had to be sold for various reasons.
Chen Jincheng and Wang Yuan spent an afternoon checking the conditions of three wineries, all of which were quite large.
Wang Yuan has already asked someone to check it out, and there is absolutely no problem with the hardware.
As for some other small details, Chen Jincheng didn't want to argue about them any more, as he didn't know how much time it would take.
There was a series of negotiations over price, and in the end, the acquisition of the three breweries, including their production licenses and customer resources, would cost a total of 6000 million.
After the negotiation, Chen Jincheng directly signed the contract with the three parties. As for the subsequent delivery matters, Wang Yuan was responsible for it.
All he had to do was send the money.
By the time we got back to the Soda Company, it was almost dark.
Chen Jincheng also instructed Wang Yuan: "After the winery is completely delivered, I will transfer another 2000 million to the company. You must quickly revamp the production line and purchase materials to produce soda wine. As for the outer packaging design and LOGO, I will send them to you later."
The production of soda wine is different from that of other wines. Soda wine relies on configuration, not brewing. It is the selection of alcohol, whiskey, brandy, etc. as the base wine, and then combined with auxiliary ingredients such as white sugar, fruit juice, alana, as well as food additives such as citric acid, sodium benzoate, tartrate, and edible flavors.
Naturally, the most important raw material: water.
Adding more water or less water can also be used to judge whether the soda is real or fake.
The cost of a box of genuine products is more than 40 yuan, while the purchase price of a box of fake wine is 25 yuan or even more than ten yuan, depending on how much water is added.
A box of soda that costs a dozen yuan is basically a drink with a little alcohol.
Therefore, even if there is no soda in this world, he can still make a special version for nightclubs and add more water to it, and still make money as quickly as possible.
If he doesn't do this, other fake wines will soon do the same.
Even in another world, authentic wines do this privately.
The biggest problem is that the preparation method of this soda wine is not difficult.
So, in another world, after soda wine became popular, within just half a year, various brands of soda wine emerged and competed for the market.
Therefore, he has applied for a patent for the soda wine formula. Even if it is cracked, the other party will not be able to use this formula for production and will need to select alternative materials, which can delay some time.
What he needs to do is to seize the market as quickly as possible.
In order to seize the market, the output of these three wineries alone is definitely not enough, and they have to continue to acquire wineries. At least they have to reach the limit of producing 5 boxes a day.
This is also the reason why he initially calculated the investment to be 3 million.
Therefore, he added: "In addition to producing the wine as quickly as possible, we must continue to acquire wineries. If there are none in Linhai City, we can go to Linhai City to investigate."
"Okay, boss!" Wang Yuan responded immediately, with a look of enthusiasm on his face.
The boss gave him such a big project, so naturally he had to do a good job.
After Chen Jincheng gave Wang Yuan instructions, he had to consider another issue, which was funding.
His current funds are enough to acquire three wineries, but the funds required to maintain the production of the three wineries will run out.
Therefore, we can ask Sister Hong to urge the sales of "Dimples" at Penguin, but this is still a long way to go. We still have to rely on the original plan, get a loan through the relationship with the Publicity Association, and then borrow some money from Lin Hao.
Chen Jincheng thought about it and took Wang Yuan and the companies recruited by Soda Wine to a nearby restaurant for a meal, so that all the employees would know who the boss was, mainly to give them confidence.
After all, the boss is a big internet celebrity, which will always make these employees more confident in the company mentally. After all, he still has a bit of celebrity effect.
You can tell from the fact that the employees couldn't help but take pictures of him with their cell phones.
Chen Jincheng also said: "For now, the company only has you guys, but the company has acquired three breweries, and the follow-up investment is as high as 3 million. When everything is on the right track, I will give you a big red envelope."
This statement indeed motivated the employees.
Especially the talk about 3 million investment and big red envelopes.
One employee even joked: "Boss, I recorded what you said, you can't go back on your word."
"Yes, boss, I took a picture of it too." someone agreed.
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "Then you can keep it as evidence. If I don't do it, you can expose me online."
As he was talking, Sister Hong called him urgently: "Boss, please check out the new announcement from Yanyin."
When Chen Jincheng heard Sister Hong's anxious voice, he immediately opened the Yanyin APP. The first video he opened popped up an advertisement for a new feature of Yanyin.
When he saw this content, a smile appeared on Chen Jincheng's face.
The new era 2.0 has finally arrived.
