169: Chapter 169 Showing Love to the World
On average, every minute or two, someone would send a Supreme Salute, and the other gifts were too numerous to count.
The two Female Internet Celebrities were extremely busy. After receiving an order, they immediately contacted the post-production team in Guangcheng, sent over the copy, and the post-production team, using an AI assistant, replaced the lines in the 124 pre-recorded personal blessing videos, making it completely undetectable.
Just like that, the backend data skyrocketed. The Supreme Salutes never stopped—it was like rockets and private jets, simply too many to count.
Time passed minute by minute. Young Master Hu and the others also walked over to their computers to observe the two Female Internet Celebrities' live stream and monitor the backend data.
"Holy crap, this is already over two million!"
"This skill is amazing!"
Someone asked doubtfully,
"But I feel like he's gone off-topic. Our suggestion was for him to sell flowers, but he's focused on live stream profiteering. Doesn't that violate the requirements?"
The Female Internet Celebrity immediately explained.
"That's right! Besides gifts, there's also the Little Yellow Bike feature. All the flowers on the Little Yellow Bikes have already been sold out!"
"What?"
It was only then that the Second Generation Rich realized. Previously, they thought the live stream selling flowers was just overtly asking for tips, a clear case of calling one thing and selling another.
It turned out that the flowers they suggested selling were already sold out, so to continue increasing revenue, he switched to 'selling' blessings.
"Amazing!"
Some chattered on, some admired, and some were confused, like Young Master Hu.
"I don't quite get it. Since he already sold out the flowers, why is he still live streaming? And what trick did he use to sell out all those flowers?"
When Young Master Hu said that, the Second Generation Rich also realized they completely failed to understand Chen Hao's sales strategy.
At 11 o'clock, the number of viewers in the live stream reached its peak. The blessing activity never stopped; collective blessings from the beautiful Models came one after another.
Looking only at sales, the accumulated revenue recorded in the backend had reached over five million by this point! This number was still climbing.
Looking at the comments, the bosses who had paid had turned into cheering squads, constantly praising in the live stream, saying the money spent was absolutely worth it.
The Second Generation Rich went from not understanding at the beginning to being truly impressed now, all admitting they had broadened their horizons.
Young Master Hu also nodded silently, secretly giving Chen Hao a thumbs-up.
He was already planning to get to the bottom of it after midnight, determined to ask Chen Hao what trick he used.
Soon, the time reached 11:30.
Just after the Model Group finished delivering their blessings, Chen Hao immediately called a halt.
"Turn off the tipping function for the live stream. Dear friends, I'm truly sorry. This welfare distribution can only last until midnight. As you can all hear, my voice is hoarse. Let us take a sip of water and rest for a bit."
"But please don't worry. For the big brothers who tipped earlier, I haven't recorded you yet, so don't rush. Business is all about integrity. I'll drink some water first and definitely continue recording for you."
Amidst the live stream music, Chen Hao walked to the side, took the water handed to him by a Female Internet Celebrity, and listened to her report while drinking.
"How many? You said how many orders are left? Okay, I get it!"
Chen Hao walked back to the live stream phone and said solemnly,
"Dear friends, fortunately, I stopped early. According to the accumulated backend data, we still have 108 blessings to deliver."
"Hey, why are some people still saying I'm profiteering? Sirs, we are really not profiteering."
"How about this? I promise here today that half of today's income will be used to donate to impoverished mountainous areas. Are you satisfied now?"
"Everyone is welcome to supervise and see if I keep my word! I'm not doing this for money; I'm doing it to send warmth to the world!"
"Enough idle talk, let's continue recording! Let's go!"
The recording of the congratulatory videos ended at 12:15 AM. Chen Hao repeatedly promised in front of the camera that the donation tomorrow would be live-streamed in its entirety for everyone to supervise. Finally, he bowed deeply with all the staff.
"Thank you, bosses, for donating a bit of love to the world. Great love from our friends! Bow!"
Chen Hao, the two Internet Celebrity streamers, and the Models collectively bowed 90 degrees, ending the live stream in that atmosphere.
Afterward, Chen Hao bowed in thanks to the Model Group.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Everyone worked hard."
After the applause, everyone drank water or rested.
Chen Hao and the others gathered to start calculating accounts, and the Second Generation Rich also came over to watch the excitement.
"The earnings are great. The two accounts combined netted over 13 million pure profit."
"Whoa!"
Hearing this number, even the Second Generation Rich were shocked speechless.
It was known that although they were Second Generation Rich, their fathers never gave them pocket money exceeding ten million.
Yet, Chen Hao, just from one live stream, earned 13 million in a few hours—the value of a rolls-royce phantom.
It was no wonder that Young Master Xiao and the other Second Generation Rich of Guangcheng followed his lead. Anyone would be impressed by this ability to make money.
Chen Hao calculated accounts while pontificating on the state of affairs.
"I promised the netizens to donate half of the proceeds. You two should live stream the entire donation process tomorrow; that will also earn you enough popularity."
The two Female Internet Celebrities were already blushing; achieving ten million in revenue in one night was incredibly exciting.
Chen Hao, however, remained very calm. After donating half, the remaining net profit was 6.14 million.
Chen Hao turned to look at Young Master Xiao.
"How much did the traffic cost?"
Young Master Xiao generously replied,
"Don't count my money. Just consider it my donation for charity."
Chen Hao glared.
"Hey, how can you do business like that? What the cost is, is the cost. Only after deducting all costs can we calculate the net profit."
Young Master Xiao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.
"One account invested one million in traffic."
Chen Hao mumbled while recording.
"Two accounts mean two million. Subtracting two million, the net income is still 4.14 million."
Previously, Chen Hao had promised each Female Internet Celebrity a base salary of 5,000 yuan. To simplify calculations, Chen Hao decided to give them each 10,000 yuan as hard work compensation.
"4.14 million minus 1.24 million leaves 2.90 million."
He looked up at the Second Generation Rich.
"How much did the flowers you provided cost?"
Someone rushed to answer.
"Not much, only 200,000."
Chen Hao muttered.
"Subtract another 200,000, leaving 2.70 million. Give the Guangcheng post-production team a 500,000 commission. Tonight's live stream made a pure profit of 2.20 million."
Chen Hao slammed his pen onto the table.
"Distribute the money!"
This scene completely won over the Second Generation Rich again.
It was 2.20 million earned in just a few hours.
Moreover, he unblinkingly donated 6.14 million!
What an incredibly generous act.
From this moment on, the Second Generation Rich of Guangcheng were completely conquered by Chen Hao.
