Chapter 93: 93 Lying Down and Making Money
Chapter 93: Lying Down and Making Money
“Yu Lu, you are too naive. People like Xu Yang, who used to have no money, would be honest. But once they become rich overnight, it’s very easy for them to lose their true self and look for other women. It’s too normal. He is not like me, who comes from a superior family background, so I won’t have such problems. When I love someone, I wouldn’t flirt around.”
While belittling Xu Yang, Chen Guanglei did not forget to elevate himself.
Only someone as shameless as him could make such a statement.
Keep in mind, he had stayed at the club just last night and hadn’t even gone home.
He was up until two in the morning, playing with a model, and was still a bit sleepy this morning.
While driving earlier, he had yawned several times.
“Not possible,” Zhao Yulu still didn’t believe Xu Yang would do what Chen Guanglei described.
As for Chen Guanglei’s self-aggrandizing behavior, she turned a blind eye to it.
She was unaware that Chen Guanglei often spent the night at the club, otherwise, she would not have agreed to go out with him.
“Yu Lu, you really are too naive. How about we don’t go hiking today and just stay here to enjoy the show? I bet Xu Yang will definitely come out with a woman,” Chen Guanglei said with a smile.
“I still believe in Xu Yang. There’s no need to stay here,” Zhao Yulu said.
“Yu Lu, I’m doing this for your sister’s sake. If he hasn’t cheated, that’s great. But if he really brought another woman to a hotel, you could save your sister. You wouldn’t want your sister to be deceived by a scumbag, would you?”
Chen Guanglei had already convinced himself that Xu Yang had come to the hotel with another woman.
“Okay, then.”
Hearing Chen Guanglei say this, Zhao Yulu felt it was indeed necessary to stay and see for herself.
If Xu Yang had indeed done something to betray her sister, she would have to tell her.
The two left the parking lot and squeezed into the crowd.
They just happened to see Xu Yang, Xiao Dongsheng, and Li Liangping taking pictures together on the red carpet.
“Holy shit, that’s Xu Yang!” Chen Guanglei exclaimed, drawing odd looks from the people around him, though he seemed oblivious.
“It really is Xu Yang!” Zhao Yulu also saw Xu Yang, standing on the red carpet, taking photos with others, “Could this event be related to Xu Yang?”
“Standing on Xu Yang’s left is the CEO of Douyin, Li Liangping, and on his right is the president of Fengcai Guild, Xiao Dongsheng. How could this be?” Chen Guanglei’s face was full of disbelief.
He had been considering investing in and acquiring live streaming guilds recently and had read some reports about Douyin’s CEO, which included photos of Li Liangping.
As for Xiao Dongsheng, he had met him once, wishing to acquire Fengcai Guild, but his offer was too low, and Xiao Dongsheng had not sold it.
“What, the CEO of Douyin? The president of Fengcai Guild?” Zhao Yulu was shocked.
Douyin was developing rapidly and was about to catch up with Ku Shou.
Everyone believed that Douyin would soon become the leading short video platform.
Why would the CEO of Douyin be taking a photo with Xu Yang?
And the president of Fengcai Guild—she had heard from Chen Guanglei that Li Liangping was the president of Fengcai Guild, and Chen Guanglei had been planning to acquire it.
But because they couldn’t agree on a price, Chen Guanglei did not make the acquisition, saying he would wait to buy it when the other party was at a dead end, for a lower price.
Later, when Chen Guanglei contacted Xiao Dongsheng again, Xiao Dongsheng had said the guild was already acquired by someone else.
Afterward, Chen Guanglei had expressed several times that he felt it was a pity they didn’t acquire Fengcai Guild.
Fengcai Guild had recently trained many internet celebrities and was the most prominent guild on Douyin.
Looking at the positioning in the photo, Xu Yang was undoubtedly in the central spot.
Why was Xu Yang in the central spot?
“What event is this, and why would Xu Yang be taking a photo with the two of them?”
Chen Guanglei felt it was necessary to find out why Xu Yang was taking photos with them and what the event was to understand what was going on.
As for Xu Yang finding another woman to come to a hotel, that obviously wasn’t the case anymore.
He asked someone nearby and found out that it was a joint live streaming and e-commerce event organized by Fengcai Guild and Douyin.
“If it’s a joint event for live streaming e-commerce piloted by both parties, why would Xu Yang appear here and take photos with them, and why in the central spot?” Chen Guanglei frowned, suddenly thinking of a possibility, and couldn’t help exclaming, “Holy shit, no way?!”
Zhao Yulu frowned, “What’s wrong?”
Without responding, Chen Guanglei took out his phone and checked the business registration information for Fengcai Guild.
Seeing the information, his face changed: “The legal representative of Fengcai Guild is Xu Yang—he’s the one who acquired Fengcai Guild!”
“What!” Zhao Yulu was shocked once again.
You should know, nowadays the Fengcai Guild is at its peak, developing very well.
According to Chen Guanglei, they make at least tens of millions every month.
And the behind-the-scenes boss of such a guild turns out to be Xu Yang.
“This son of a bitch, he’s got too much good luck, to have acquired Fengcai Guild, this is making money while lying down.”
“If I had known Fengcai Guild would develop this well, I would have bought it for five million back then.”
Chen Guanglei was both envious and regretful.
Zhao Yulu had a complex expression on her face.
If the acquisition of Yuhuo Renjia Hotpot by Xu Yang, renamed to Jiangdilao, was a bad move, and Jiangdilao would not survive and close down, Xu Yang would lose a lot of money.
Xu Yang’s investment in Wu Jing’s “War Panther,” with its bad theme, would also lose money.
But by acquiring Fengcai Guild, it was definitely profitable, and not just a little bit.
It could completely make up for the losses of those two investments and continue to make money.
After Xu Yang, Xiao Dongsheng, and Li Liangping took photos together, they entered the hotel.
They arrived at the hotel’s largest banquet hall.
This place had already been set up, as the pilot live stream for selling products would take place here.
The two of them, along with Li Liangping, conducted an inspection, while Xiao Dongsheng explained the preparations that had been made.
Li Liangping checked it out and was very satisfied.
He felt even more confident about the upcoming live streaming event.
Soon, ten o’clock arrived.
The joint live stream sales event by Douyin and Fengcai Guild officially began.
The first session was started by Nan Zi, the ace female anchor with the highest popularity and fans in the tens of millions.
She was selling a cosmetic product.
Money from women is the easiest to earn.
Fengcai Guild was aiming for a strong opening.
Indeed, as anticipated by the three, the start was a success.
With proper publicity, not only did Nan Zi’s fans show up, but many Douyin users came as well.
In just a few short minutes, the number of online viewers in Nan Zi’s live stream room exceeded a million, and it was still growing at a terrifying speed.
With such a viewership, the effectiveness of selling products can be imagined.
The first cosmetic product, priced at sixty-nine, with a stock of one hundred thousand, sold out within one minute.
Seeing the data backstage, Xu Yang, Xiao Dongsheng, and Li Liangping couldn’t help but be astonished.
They had thought this event would be successful, but they hadn’t anticipated data this good.
And this was only the beginning.
With the increasing number of viewers, the sales in the following segments of the live stream would be even more formidable.
The trio looked at each other and all revealed knowing smiles.
…
At the entrance of the hotel.
Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei saw Xu Yang and his group enter the hotel, and then the two of them left.
There was no longer any point in continuing to watch the event.
The better the event went, the worse Chen Guanglei felt.
Zhao Yulu wasn’t feeling much better, as Xu Yang’s success further proved that her choice had been a mistake.
Neither of them had the mood to go hiking anymore.
