Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 475: Chapter 258: Will Set a Terrifying Record

To everyone in the conference room, Rice Group was a behemoth, completely out of their league.

When Sister Hong revealed Chen Jincheng’s intentions, everyone was stunned.

This was especially true for Li Ya and the other two; it made them even more confident in this collaboration.

Chen Jincheng did indeed plan to promote the Rice Phone through video marketing.

Top-tier corporations like that had their own sales channels and physical stores across the country. In 2018, something like video marketing was definitely not on their radar.

If any other company tried to negotiate such a deal, they would have almost no chance of success.

They wouldn’t even give an internet celebrity a second glance.

But a big shot like Lei Xiaojun was different. He had a unique vision and perspective. He was the first to recognize the importance of online promotion and, more importantly, the first magnate to personally become an internet celebrity.

Therefore, video marketing was something they could actually discuss.

Besides, he knew that the phone Rice Group was about to launch was the Rice 8PAY.

In the other world, this phone had been all the rage when it was first released in 2018.

Not only did it have a beautiful design, but at a price of just 2,200 yuan, it was very popular among young people.

Most importantly, the Rice 8PAY sold a million units within half a month of its launch. Furthermore, the model wasn’t discontinued until 2022 due to becoming technologically obsolete, which meant its product quality was completely solid.

’So, as long as I can film those iconic annual phone commercials, the promotional effect will be even better than what the Rice Phone originally had.’

’I can also generate a lot of hype.’

’With my current fame plus Boss Lei, any move we make together will become a hot topic and draw attention.’

’I also have my clip-editing teams to create trending topics and push the hype to its peak.’

’What’s more, I have an SS-Class promotional resource for my Tiao Yin stream room. If I play my cards right with the hype, the number of concurrent viewers won’t dip below my previous peak of 550,000, and the total viewership will be even higher than last time’s 20 million.’

’Just with that alone, the number of units sold through video marketing could surpass the million units the Rice Phone sold at its launch in my past life.’

’On top of that, I can use some underhanded tactics.’

’In this world, the most popular phones are still Fruit Phones, but I know a lot of their weak points. For example, the Taiwan map issue and the problem of discriminatory treatment toward domestic users. In the other world, these issues were ruthlessly criticized.’

’Whenever these problems were exposed, it would always trigger a wave of patriotism, followed by a trend of boycotting Fruit Phones.’

’In the other world, the one that ultimately profited from these boycotts was Huawei Phone.’

’I’ve investigated, and the Fruit Phones in this world have the same problems. It’s just that no one here has paid attention to them yet.’

’If I create hype by exposing this right before promoting the Rice Phone, it’ll trigger a boycott. And when the Rice Phone launches at that exact moment, who do you think will benefit?’

’So, when the time comes, my video marketing campaign for the Rice 8PAY will definitely achieve terrifying results. It’s even possible we could double the initial one million units.’

’This achievement might just become an unbeatable record for the era of video marketing.’

’If I calculate it based on a 10% commission, I could earn 220 yuan per unit. That’s a commission of over 400 million yuan!’

’For a single product, no one could achieve numbers like that, not even in the era of livestream e-commerce.’

’And this kind of opportunity can probably only be seized once. Once these results are out, I’m afraid Boss Lei himself will truly enter the fray, and much earlier than he did in the other world.’

’But if this succeeds, not only will I make a huge profit and build my reputation, but crucially, I’ll also be able to foster a good relationship with Boss Lei. I might even have opportunities to leverage his influence later on.’

’Furthermore, when Kuaishou’s new algorithm comes out to counter Tiao Yin and Tiao Yin finds itself in a tough spot, my importance will become even more apparent. At that point, both sides will be fighting to win me over.’

’And I’ll be able to profit from the middle.’

However, all of this was predicated on him getting a chance to speak with Lei Xiaojun face-to-face.

That meant he absolutely had to win the Rice Phone’s business partnership.

As Chen Jincheng thought this, he turned to Li Ya, President Gu, and President Zhao. "If the three of you have no objections to the plan, I’ll arrange for my people to start shooting the videos."

How could Li Ya and the others possibly have any objections? Besides, it wasn’t as if they knew much about video production themselves.

Seeing this, Chen Jincheng instructed Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, in that case, please arrange for the photography department to start filming. We’ll shoot Sister Feiye’s shampoo first, then Ximeng’s secretary outfit and Yinyin’s stockings videos. We’ll film Xiaobai’s fun nightgown last. I’ll personally oversee the video quality."

"Alright, Boss!" Sister Hong nodded.

After the meeting, she immediately started making the arrangements.

Chen Jincheng had his reasons for arranging the schedule in this particular order. He scheduled Jiang Xiaobai’s shoot for last, naturally, because she had bought those handcuffs and that special W-position bondage chair.

’Since she bought them, they can’t go to waste.’

He had always felt that waste was shameful.

While Sister Hong was making arrangements, Chen Jincheng began filling out the review forms for the Piaorun Shampoo, Luna Stockings, and Jing Hong sexy sleepwear, including their product links.

These had to be submitted to Tiao Yin for approval.

The product links and prices, in particular, had to be perfect.

He still remembered how, in the other world, an influencer had mistakenly linked a 130-yuan item to a different 230-yuan item, leading to a very awkward situation.

This time, Second-Life Star was going to promote four products via video. The first was the Piaorun Shampoo, priced at 65 yuan. For a mid-to-high-end shampoo, this price was on the low side, mainly because the brand lacked name recognition.

With a 20% commission, he would earn 13 yuan for every bottle sold.
