There was only one word that could describe Wang Yan’s current feeling: confused.

What was this?

This was not the reward of the sports department?

The Level 10 system seemed to no longer adhere to the original rules and became even more mysterious.

Double… ahem, to be able to talk about this kind of thing in a drama, how weird.

I have good taste, why should I improve it?

He turned his head to look at the bed. The two students were trying to recover the energy consumed by the performance — they were sprawled on the bed and asleep.

Feeling that the two of them would not be able to get up for a while, Wang Yan decided to start flipping through the photo album now.

He went to the small bar and found a bottle of Merlot’s new wine. The young master sat on the sofa, drank the wine, and started to look at the photos.

He flipped to the first page. Poof!

He spat out a mouthful of wine.

F*ck, where were the freshness and naturalness?

Little sister, where are your clothes?

It was a distorted, extravagant, indulgent, and depraved nude photo of the human body. But miraculously, the shadow formed by something happened to block the key areas, making her, who was supposed to be obscene, become a symbol of light and shadow.

A bitter feeling assaulted everyone’s face. Anyone who saw this picture would try their best to discern the truth hidden by the shadow. However, after looking carefully for a while, Wang Yan felt an impact that was greater than desire.

Is this legendary art?

Trying his best to feel the light and shadow, composition, segmentation, proportion, and other details, the young master seemed to have realized something — the photographer could definitely see it!

F*ck, your profession is really strange.

After a while, the young master flipped to the next page.

Very good, the lady finally had clothes.

It was a smiling face under the sun. The smile could not be seen clearly, but the cheerful and lively vitality was overflowing in all the tiny bits of light.

This photographer is amazing, alright, I’ve wronged you.

He flipped over, and right there again, another fully naked in the forest!

Wang Yan was curious as he read. There were so many mosquitoes, centipedes, crickets, and caterpillars in the forest. Did those who liked to cause trouble in the wild not receive punishment from nature?

Putting aside the dangers, the photo itself was still very beautiful. Wang Yan felt the effect of the filter on it.

Slowly flipping through it, he lamented and sighed. The young master finally finished reading through the entire photo album.

When the last page was closed, the book suddenly turned into a ball of light. The ball quickly spread out and exploded into a sphere. The effect was incredible.

The insight… was vague.

It seemed to be there, but it also seemed to be nothing.

What was certain was that the book did not bring Wang Yan any improvement in his attributes.

There was no reflection in the quantifiable data.

However, after flipping through the entire photo album, Wang Yan finally agreed on one thing — art was indeed not something created by a few elites to deceive people.

A work of art might be, but art itself was like an ocean, and it could give birth to all kinds of messy things.

Those things made Wang Yan a little restless.

He had felt something, it seemed to be an urgent desire to express himself.

No matter how hard he tried, there was still no definite direction or shape.

“So… it was a waste of time in the end?”

The young master smacked his lips, shook his head, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Forget it. It’s a reward that I picked up for nothing anyway. I’ll just treat it as I’ve learned more postures…”

The young master was in a lazy state where both his body and mind were extremely satisfied. As a half-step sage, he had a stable state of mind and easily looked past it.

He returned to the bedroom and patted the two students. To each of them, he transferred 50,000 yuan to complete the last step of the teaching work.

The money did not even bring them energy. The two of them hummed a few times. They were like the students who had not written a single word when they were about to hand up their homework after winter vacation. They buried their heads in the quilt and pretended to be dead, completely ignoring everything that was exposed.

After another lesson, the young master could still handle another one, but the two of them really could not.

Therefore, everything was uncertain. In the face of death, everything was just a story.

Walking back to the Shangri-la restaurant, Wang Muye and Yan Xiaoyu were sitting at the table and writing quickly.

It was a good time to have supper together and study the changes to the script.

Professor An’s new lines were even crazier and cooler. She didn’t wag her tail and beg for mercy until her death. There was a strong sense of confidence in them.

The character image was made stronger, and at the same time, her death would bring great suspense to the audience — the plot was not over yet, what else was hidden behind it?

Then, she cut out all the riddles in the last plot of the original version and left it to the second film.

The whole film would be controlled within 105 minutes. It was neat, concise, and smooth.

..

On the 29th, the CEO of Wangting Entertainment left everything to the capital branch of Wangting Entertainment and sat in the company for the whole day.

Zhu Jike did a good job. His management was a little far from being well organized, but he had a good grasp of the situation online.

This kid spent 18 hours in his host’s live broadcast room every day. He developed a field control system for every host, and he became familiar with all the big brothers who were farming money.

The so-called field control system was the person who helped the host manage the room, liven up the atmosphere, deal with Hei Zi, and maintain discipline in the live broadcast room.

It was ideal to use one’s own staff, but yet it could not be achieved.

A large guild had hundreds of hosts, so it was impossible to have staff manage every single one of them. The cost of manpower could not be sustained.

So, they could only seek help from netizens.

A particularly rich big brother would definitely not do this job, but the admirers of a beautiful female host could not all be rich. There were definitely plenty of men who had a lot of time but no money who would like to pay the goddess.

An excellent field controller could prepare their own dry food, stay online to accompany the streamer for 12 hours, and also manage the fan group part-time.

Not only did they not need to be paid, but they could also contribute 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.

The young master felt that this kind of thing was a little funny, but that was the truth. There were too many people who were willing to fork out 300 to 500 yuan to get the streamer’s personal contact information. There were so many that they could pick and choose among them.

“Is there a group?”

The young master was extremely curious. He suddenly wanted to sneak in and see what they were thinking.

Zhu Jike was stunned. “A group with crowd control? That’s not it. It’s all maintained by the host herself. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause problems.”

Young master simply went to Gao Ya. “Give me your phone.”

Gao Ya immediately unlocked the phone for Wang Yan, completely ignoring the many flirtatious texts and her own privacy inside.

She had two WeChat accounts. Her alternate account was called Viya, and she had a total of about 100 chats related to live-streaming.

When she opened them, she realized that it was complete junk.

Some nagged her about how to live stream, earnestly explaining the rules of a live streamer’s life.

While others greeted her in the morning and evening. “Have a good rest”, “Drink lots of hot water”, “Don’t tire yourself out”, “I’ll always be here waiting for you”.

Some people expressed themselves crazily, “You’re too beautiful”, “You’re so beautiful today”, “I love you so much”.

Yet others tried pushing her into their friend’s arms, “You should talk to Brother X more privately”, “Brother X likes you, hold on”, “XX is someone’s Big Brother, you have to steal him”.

The weirdest type were those who tried to borrow money from Gao Ya.

There was another type who thought that they were too handsome and wanted to form a stable relationship with Gao Ya.

The older ones who spent more money were actually simpler. There were only two types.

The first were those who kept saying “Let’s go out for a meal” or “Come on out to play”.

The second were those who replied after a long time and said very little.

In any case, there were all kinds of people. It was an eye-opener for Wang Yan.

After reading enough excitement, she returned the phone to Gao Ya. She took the time to ask Wang Yan, “Director Wang, I wish to be transferred to Taobao to do a live broadcast…”

“Eh? Aren’t your broadcasts pretty good? If you don’t count the official channels, there are 70,000 to 80,000 streams a week.”

Wang Yan was a little puzzled.

Gao Ya’s results were ranked top amongst all the new streamers. Since the beginning, she has had many rewards, and at her peak, she was very likely to break through a million.

Every month.

Gao Ya’s expression was a little broken. “I’m tired, Big Brother! In the past, I flirted with two or three people, but now I have to flirt with hundreds… and I can’t maximize my advantage.”

What advantage do you have?

Is your EQ high?

Wang Yan pondered for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out what her advantage was in the live streaming industry.

Gao Ya replied matter-of-factly, “I have a rich and clear understanding of clothes and cosmetics! From ordinary clothes to luxury goods, from cost-effectiveness to practical effects, there’s nothing I’m not familiar with, and I like the feeling of sharing experiences.”

Oh!

Wang Yan suddenly understood.

This girl’s fanaticism towards clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics was very exaggerated — in short, she loved to dress up, be pretentious, and be flirtatious.

But she didn’t have much money, so she was very picky.

From her teenage years until now, she had basically used everything and had formed a rich and unique theoretical system. Moreover, she often bargained with the shop owners until they were drenched in sweat while shopping.

From the looks of it, she was really suitable to become an e-commerce live streamer.

“Okay, wait for me to discuss it with President Wang.”

Young Master Wang nodded happily and immediately contacted Wang Yunxi.

“Brother Xi, how is our cooperation with Taobao coming along?”

It went very smoothly.

Taobao live streaming was the product of Alibaba’s leader, Jack Ma. However, it was different from what outsiders had imagined. At this moment, Taobao live streaming was just a very cautious small attempt.

Live streaming is currently one of the most popular topics on the internet. However, all the glory is attributed to live streaming of shows and games. The industry and the outside world generally believed that classic platforms are the future.

What is Taobao live streaming?

Positioned as a consumer type of live streaming, it looks no different from traditional TV shopping. It lacks opportunity and imagination, and scored lots of negative points!

Under such circumstances, Taobao’s live broadcast was unusually low-key, and it was not as strong as its counterparts from other companies.

For Wangting Entertainment, who took the initiative to come to their door, the live broadcast department treated it like a boss, and all kinds of conditions were extremely favorable.

When Young Master Wang heard this, his heart moved.

“Hey, do we have a chance to eat up that live streaming platform?”

Wang Yunxi was so scared that she almost peed her pants.

“Wang, that’s Taobao! It’s Jack Ma’s Alibaba!”

Wang Yan burst into laughter and shook his head, no longer letting his imagination run wild.

The problem was not whether they would lose money or not.

It does not matter if the live streaming platform earned 200 million or lost 200 million a year, it would not affect the other party’s established strategy.

Bat’s character was always the same: even if they had cut off their own platform, they would still make it impossible for outsiders to get in.

If it was on a track that they felt was necessary to persevere on, then they would throw money and cut prices to hurt others. They would drag their competitors into the losses and see who would give up first.

If they wanted to take advantage of Jack Ma, the current Young Master Wang was still not qualified enough.

“Alright, anyway, Taobao’s live streaming platform must be based on Alibaba’s big data before it can be played. Let’s just take over the content provider quietly… are you sure the conditions are good enough?”

Young Master Wang quickly understood the situation and decided to make money from this steadily.

Wang Yunxi nodded heavily. “Very good!”

Taobao’s live streaming was still in its infancy. It needed a strong partner who dared to invest. A partner could not be a live streaming platform of the same nature. It could only be a merchant or a management guild.

And at the current time, there was no guild bigger than Wangting Entertainment.

The eight internal guilds of Douyu platform added together were only slightly bigger than Wangting Entertainment, and most of the streamers were game streamers, so it was impossible to transfer them.

Next was the well-known yoga guild in the industry, which had a crooked foundation and claimed to have more than 300 streamers.

As for quality…

It was not an exaggeration to say that Wangting Entertainment currently did not have any girls below 90 points.

Of course, beauty was not everything, but beauty was the foundation of everything.

And the most perfect thing was that only Wangting Entertainment had the spare strength and was willing to cooperate with Taobao’s live streaming strategy.

The other veteran guilds were all lying in their comfort zones, happily counting their money, neither wanting nor being able to change the track.

Wangting Entertainment was on all new streamers, taking a high-quality strategy, controlling the quantity of broadcasting on various major platforms, and was able to pull out quite a number of high-quality rookies to enter Taobao’s live streaming platform.

Therefore, the cooperation was very smooth, and the offers were bleeding.

First was the percentage of CPS, 8:12:80. Taobao got 20%, and Wangting Entertainment got 80%.

It was a miracle percentage.

Taobao provided the database, the reputation, the funds, and the environmental foundation, but they only got a fraction of the profits.

Taobao’s live streaming department had a huge operating cost, but they still only got a small percentage.

The profits were all given to Wangting Entertainment.

For the other partners, the normal percentage was 10:20:70.

It seemed like they only got 10% more, but this 10% could sweep everything away.

To be honest, the final net profit of many mature industries now was only 3% or 5%. Anyone with a bit of business sense could understand how scary this 10% was.

The platform didn’t take a share of the V mission of Taobao’s live streaming.

Normally, the platform would take 20% in the two modes of “Name cooperation” and “Live streaming window”.

This discount was even scarier.

The final focus was on traffic promotion. In a single statement: Wangting Entertainment enjoyed the highest priority.

Of course, this was the initial stage. After the model matures, the traffic distribution would follow the rules, and the big data algorithm would ensure fairness.

In short, Wangting Entertainment got the biggest piece of meat.

However, Wang Yunxi was still not confident.

“Xiao Yan, do you think this kind of consumer live streaming can be done?”

In fact, Wang Yan was not sure. Bat was not omnipotent. There were many industries and projects that had collapsed.

Based on the current situation, the prospects of consumer live streaming were far inferior to games. It might even be inferior to mukbangs.

However, Wang Yan’s ambition was different from that of other guild bosses.

“Whether we can do it or not, this is a new track. Wangting Entertainment’s goal is to occupy all the tracks. If we succeed, we’ll take the biggest profit; if we fail, we’ll do it another way. We can afford to lose.”

Wang Yan’s confidence was in the endless stream of high-quality streamers.

Instead of putting them on the same platform to fight each other, it was far better to spread them out to explore more possibilities.

Profit-oriented guilds did not dare to be reckless, but the godly tycoon Wang, whose goal was to wash horse milk, wanted to be reckless. This was the biggest difference between them.

Thus, the strategy of selecting 20 beautiful women and recruiting 10 male anchors to switch to Taobao was thus decided upon.

Regardless of whether the development was smooth or not, the internal transition between show and e-commerce anchors was very easy, and the way out was clear.

Having money and daring to spend it was close to being invincible.

In assurance to Director Wang, the girls who were selected did not have any resistance and were willing to try.

This project involving e-commerce live streaming was advancing rapidly.

Before the end of December, the young master had received a share from Wangting Entertainment and finally took down the underground water purifier.

On January 1, the first day of 2016, the mall was refreshed again.
