I'm A Baller

Chapter 293: Pretentious

All the way to the fruit supermarket, He Miaomiao was unhappy.

Wang Yan didn’t even say a word of comfort. He picked up a sweet plum, peeled the skin and gave it to her.

The young lady had originally despised it, but in the end, she couldn’t resist the fragrance of fresh fruits. With just one bite, she immediately beamed with joy.

“Watermelon is out of season. Wang Yan, I want to eat longan, grapefruit, and kiwi!”

Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh. “You really know how to eat. They’re all fresh varieties that are in season.”

“Of course!”

He Miaomiao smugly flicked her hair, and then she stuck to Wang Yan’s side, looking at the fruit stall with eager eyes.

After buying the fruits, they reconciled.

“Wang Yan, when are you going to help me deal with Wang Zhong?”

Looking at He Miaomiao’s expectant little face, Wang Yan was very straightaway. “The day after tomorrow is Saturday. Think of a way to tell Wang Zhong that you’re going shopping on Saturday. If he and you bump into each other, we’ll officially start implementing the plan.”

“Then what if we don’t bump into each other?”

“Stupid!”

Wang Yan flicked her head and scolded her jokingly, “If you gave a good hint, how could he not follow ? If it really doesn’t work, find someone to encourage him!”

“Don’t get physical with me!”

After scolding him fiercely, only then did she realize that in front of Wang Yan, she was becoming lazy to use her brain.

In any case, she was unable to use her brain!

Wang Yan ignored her protest and confirmed once again, “You can fish him out in two days, right?”

“No problem! Wang Zhong loves to get close to me whenever he has the chance.”

He Miaomiao nodded her head with full confidence. After which, she asked curiously, “What’s the specific plan?”

“There’s no specific plan. Just adapt to the situation! In any case, I’ll definitely help you pin him down.”

Young Master Wang shrugged with relaxed expression,

I refused to flatter, I was professional!

The matter was settled, the two of them had nothing else to do and drove back to school.

In the afternoon, there was only one professional class. After class, Wang Yan brought the boys to the playground to practice.

They were all exhausted.

Around 6 o’clock, Wang Yan took everyone out to eat stewed beef. They then took a hot bath and had a massage.

It was a regular massage to relieve boredom instead of creating boredom.

After returning to school at around nine o’clock, Wang Yan and Liu Li cuddled for a while. Then, hey walked to the balcony and dialed Wang Yunxi’s number.

“Xiao Yan, what instructions?”

Wang Yan asked, “Regarding the design of the third big eater competition, do you have any good plans on your side?”

He didn’t mention his own ideas first. Instead, he listened to the opinions of the company’s management. This was another upgrade of Wang Yan’s way of controlling the situation.

He would give them the opportunity to show their initiative. If they had a good idea, they would directly add it to the final plan.

In this way, the management would have the initiative and could accurately find the direction. It was the best of both worlds.

Wang Yunxi replied, “We are still doing internal discussions. We have only had preliminary contact with Haidilao. The other party is very enthusiastic, but we feel that the hotpot might be a little monotonous and not stimulating enough.”

“Yes, the point on the excitement level is very accurate!”

Wang Yan nodded in approval.

Usually, live streaming and competitions were two different concepts.

Daily live streaming was by a single person. Having a good meal, having a good conversation, and having a rhythm was a very good experience. There was no need to chase after the novelty of food.

Live streaming was at least once a day. How could there be so much novelty?

Right now, for the four food streams, the most important thing was to stabilize the already large-scale fan club and form the concept of family and group.

The fan club had cohesiveness, and when new traffic came to the live broadcast room, they would be more willing to join the group.

It was human nature to group together and seek a sense of identity.

Then, they would occasionally look for excitement, and their popularity and fame would steadily rise.

If the daily was used to soothe nerves, then the competition was a large-scale fan abuse scene.

Not only was there a big eater competition organized by Wangting Yule itself on the platform, there were also many official events.

Guild Wars, New Star Competitions, annual awards, and so on.

Cutting leeks was the main purpose, but while stimulating consumption, it would also increase the loyalty of the big and little brothers to the streamer.

Where did the commercial value of the streamer come from?

Popularity, influence and ranking.

Among them, popularity was from those who watch, reward by the rich and fake figure by the platform.

Influence was from the spread outside the platform such as Weibo, ABCD station and public account.

Leaderboard was via big brother’s tipping and self consumption of guild.

In any case, in the age of traffic, making a name for yourself would earn you a lot of money.

The annual big reward was the best activity to make a name for yourself within the platform, and the big eater competition was the best opportunity to get out of the ring.

As long as the fan club clearly recognized the importance of the competition, when the time came, there would be rhythm, anger, and goals. Gifts would be given out in a hubbub, and influence and money would be greatly reaped.

Therefore, the competition itself had to be explosive, and it had to be more exciting than the daily eating and broadcasting of mukbang.

It could not just be a competitive gimmick, and everyone would laugh and chat.

That would not have the effect of stimulating it.

Wang Yunxi knew the key, so he appeared to be in a difficult position.

“Working with Haidilao, it is difficult for us to find a particularly exciting point.

The core of the hot pot is instant-boiled beef and mutton. However, the A5 and beef we ate last time were already at the peak. Not only were the ingredients rare, but the price was also difficult to surpass.

The same principle applied to the bottom of the spicy hotpot. The garlic from the last time was already stimulating enough. If we were to make a fuss about the degree of spiciness, it would also cause aesthetic fatigue…

So our idea was, could we create a dual heaven of ice and fire?

The heavy spicy instant-boiled pot and ice-cream had the same weight. 100 g meat with 100 g ice-cream. Only if we ate all of them at the same time would we be considered a unit…”

What the heck!

You guys were excellent!

Wang Yan was very happy. The management team of Wangting Yule, led by Wang Yunxi, was not only working hard, but also growing very fast.

After a while, Wang Yan might not have to worry about anything anymore.

“Good idea! You guys have a very open mind for work. Very good!”

Young master was not stingy with his praise. Then, he followed the other party’s thoughts and checked for loopholes.

“But there are some areas that need to be slightly refined.

For example, beef and mutton. Just remove it. There’s no need to repeat it.

You can talk to Haidilao. The new breed will first need to satisfy our needs. Then, depending on the effect, you can decide whether to make it a regular dish or not.

We’ll choose the Australian green dragon. Remember, we want the deep sea green dragon, not the freshwater green dragon.

The meat is firm and extremely sweet. The price is high enough, but it’s not too expensive.”

Wang Yunxi interrupted weakly, “Wait a minute, how much is it exactly?”

He was afraid that Young Master Wang would not agree with him and create the big scene like the last time.

Wang Yan had asked about the price of the Australian green dragon.He did not feel that it was expensive at all.

“For more than one kilogram and less than two kilograms, the price of a live one is about 1,000 to 1,500 yuan. Let Haidilao prepare 300 to 500. It’s not much.”

“Oh my God! Three to five hundred?!”

“That’s right.” Wang Yan nodded as if it was a matter of course. “One kilogram of live shrimp only produces slightly more than 100 grams of meat. Three hundred kilograms is only 40 kilograms of net meat! Six big eater, six kilograms per person on average. That’s about right.”

Wang Yunxi did some calculations and shook his head silently.

“They can’t eat six kilograms. We have to add another six kilograms of ice cream. That thing melts fast, but it still takes up space and stimulates the stomach.”

“Oh yes?”

Wang Yan thought about it and could only regretfully reduce his target.

“Then let’s guarantee 30 kilograms of net meat. They will definitely have no problem with an average of four kilograms. My friend and I will add up to two kilograms and leave some space.”

Wang Yunxi did not ask Wang Yan why he wanted to participate in the competition.

“How do we select the other two spots?”

“Give one to the platform, and bring out the other one for the audition.”

“Okay, I will communicate with the platform.”

Wang Yunxi nodded and asked again, “What about the ice cream? Do you want to continue working with Stupid Cow?”

“Let’s contact Haagen Dazs first. If Haagen Dazs is really not interested, then we will consider Supid Cow. But it’s best if we can get Haagen Dazs.”

Wang Yan’s starting point was still the price of the ingredients. How expensive was Haagen Dazs?

A small spoon of spicy food, 100 ml, could be sold for 50 yuan, but the actual weight was 80 grams.

What about the same amount of Mengniu?

It was less than 5 yuan.

Wang Yunxi immediately understood what Wang Yan meant and nodded excitedly.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of Haagen Dazs! Such a big gimmick can not be missed!”

Haagen Dazs, deep-sea green dragon and spicy bottom of the pot…

It was a combination of gods and immortals!

It sounded full of the enticing aura of money and the arrogance of a nouveau riche. It was full of postmodern deconstructionism’s pompous parody. It made people dumbfounded and could not help but curse: F*ck, idiot!

After cursing, they laughed and watched. They were so happy that they slapped their thighs: WOC, you guys played beautifully!

Don’t doubt it, most of the netizens were the same.

Watching the streamer suffer was a great pleasure. It could satisfy a hidden and dark psychological state, and the excitement was absolutely explosive!

Then, there was time to be happy, there was time to feel sorry for her, and there was time to spend money. Wang Ting Entertainment’s third big eater competition would then be stable.

At the same time, He Miaomiao’s emotions would be stable as well.

Wang Yan did not believe that the young lady would not be in a good mood if she joined in the fun and watched the performance! live.

The cost of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan for a table multiplied by 80 times the mood factor…

Wow!

20 million yuan!

It was just enough to expand the size of the guild, pay the online celebrities a penalty fee, and give them a base salary!

After the whole process, from beginning to end, there was money everywhere.

It was awesome!

Wang Yunxi did not know what benefits Wang Yan could get from the card, but when se calculated the business profits, he was also very excited.

“I’ll make a plan right away. After I confirm with the partners, I’ll immediately go to Mei Ko and talk to them. When that time comes, I’ll directly turn Haidilao’s flagship store into a big show hall and completely make the name of our Wangting Yule famous!”

“Yeah, I must do all the details. Whether the guild can fly or not depends on this event.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll definitely blow up!”

“Then work harder. I’ll go take a look after some time.”

“Okay. Hey, that’s right…”

Wang Yunxi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

“Little Yan, haven’t you logged into your account recently to take a look?”

The way he winked at him was very comical.

Wang Yan was very puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“Take a look, haha!”

“Okay, we’ll communicate on WeChat if there’s anything.”

Young Master Wang hung up the call, went back to his desk, opened his laptop, and logged into Douyu’s account.

At first glance, he saw the bright red 99 sign on the post.

When he opened the private message bar, the alienware laptop reacted for a while, and then a dense stream of messages flooded the screen.

Oh, so it was the streamer flirting with the Big Brother?

Wang Yan instantly understood what was going on, but he still didn’t take it seriously.

It wasn’t new, was it?

In the end, he looked at a few of them and almost dropped his eyeballs.

What the heck, was it so big?!

A confession letter was nothing. It was nothing more than a set of tricks and a complete set of tricks.

The amazing ones were all kinds of short essays. How could you believe those with melodramas !

Wang Yan immediately wanted to call Douyu’s operations director.

Not to misunderstand. It wasn’t a report. He just wanted to make a small suggestion —

Ask your programmers to work overtime and add a function that could send pictures to the station’s letter!

The picture and the text were well-written.

Otherwise, just relying on imagination would tire me out!

…

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was an eye-opener.

It was needless to say that all kinds of female streamers were trying to get close to each other. The players on the platform were performing all kinds of acts.

The scammers, the beggars, and the ones who were hugging the thighs started to spew all kinds of nonsense out of the blue. It was simply a myriad of things in the world.

Among them, the more normal ones were only those small tycoons.

Although they also came with various purposes, at the very least, their performance was not that eye-catching.

After scanning through the private messages of a few small tycoons, Wang Yan went to look at Ling Ya’s list. When he found the corresponding ID, his heart suddenly moved.

He immediately sent a WeChat message to Xi Zige.

“Expand the event into a fan club. Try to invite more nouveau riche on the list and the hardcore fans in the live broadcast room. Haidilao’s flagship store is big enough. We might as well book the entire place.”

Wang Yunxi replied, “I was just about to mention this to you. Quite a number of nouveau riche want to get to know you. Let Ling Ya and the others invite you in private. With you supporting the scene, many people will be willing to come. It’s just the right time to make the momentum bigger and at the same time, to lay a solid foundation.”

The current Young Master Wang was not afraid of attending any so-called big events.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately made the decision. “Yes, it’s just the right time to expand my network and lay a foundation for the future. Guests are guests. I’ll personally pay for the hotel room. You can make the arrangements and make the statistics more accurate.”

With a simple sentence, he upgraded the event once again and added a lot of work.

When he was done, Wang Yan called President AL of Shanghai Kerry on the spot.

The room could not be fixed for the time being. The main purpose was to communicate feelings and also to invite him.

As for the guests attending the ceremony, not only must there be guests, but also must have enough cards.

Vice President of Mei Ko, Vice President of Haidilao, Vice President of General Mills China, Director of East China of Mengniu, President of Douyu operations, Vice President of Weibo operations…

They were all public relations targets.

Their levels were about the same, but they had enough cards and wouldn’t overpower the host. It just served as a foil to my handsome Wang.

At that time, I just got my custom-made suit, and I was destined to crush the whole audience…

Well, it’s not that I wanted to pretend, it’s just that I needed to do my job, so I couldn’t do anything about it!

If I made the standard of the event up, I wouldn’t need to work hard to make it popular!

I didn’t dare to compare myself with those young studs who had returned to China. However, in the entertainment industry’s lower ecosystem, Wangting Yule could be the Big Brother.

Wang Yan had already thought of the banner that the soft article was going to use — the first batch of Chinese new concept internet celebrities, weren’t they handsome?!

Well, it’s actually a little old-fashioned.

But regardless of whether the public opinion was positive or negative, a pioneer was a pioneer.

To be one step ahead is to establish Wang Yan’s personal label — having vision, courage, and boldness.

It would be a business card that led to the upper level.

Wangting Yule’s temporary weakness would not affect Wang Yan’s personal ability to be recognized.

One recognition could be split into many, eventually forming a combined force that pushed Wang Yan to a reasonable position.

If there was only money, but no position, then he would not be a qualified god tier tycoon.

Didn’t you see how many nouveau riche fell on the road of ranking and could only be a rich man?

Therefore, Wang Yan had been thinking about how to break through the barrier. He had thought that he would have to wait for a while more, but unexpectedly, an opportunity had come unintentionally.

He had to seize it!

Once he succeeded in getting a seat, the game in the future would be fun.
