Chapter 443: Chapter 203 Handsome Man Scheme_2
"Haha, little brother, you really know how to give compliments!"
Xingyu naturally went with the flow regarding Pei Shuyu’s promotion strategy, while Gou Star was trying to suppress the popularity, but it was indeed quite difficult to contain.
Pei Shuyu’s chart performance was a phenomenon, with a terrifying ability to attract money that shook the industry, where a few million in tips could make news at Douyu, yet she was making millions every day as a base.
Even though Su Huai has been dispersing the tipping to smaller accounts now, the "rumor" that Gou Star and Pei made a hundred million in a month was still spreading rapidly through the whole industry.
So, the situation now was that those outside the circle were unaware, while those inside were watching closely, and not a single one from platforms to streamers didn’t envy them.
Recently, Gou Star’s traffic and new user registrations surged by at least 300%, nearly touching Panda’s chrysanthemum.
Ruhan’s promotion of Zhang Dayi was always as the top internet celebrity in cash realization, so it was only natural to notice Pei Shuyu and Xingyu.
"Brother."
She asked curiously and directly, "You guys are losing out on this, aren’t you?"
Su Huai shook his head: "Yuji’s income is real, no re-flow necessary. I have her tax return, do you want to take a look?"
"Really?"
"Of course, just don’t spread it around."
When Su Huai opened his backpack and took out the documents, Zhang Dayi’s eyes widened, and she took in a sharp breath of shock.
"That’s so exaggerated... My goodness!"
Su Huai smiled and remained silent.
Her reaction was actually quite normal; anyone would be confused seeing that.
Even though money isn’t as valuable as before, in the internet celebrity industry, the "billion" unit was still quite shocking, and Pei Shuyu would probably be the first streamer in the net to break a hundred million in monthly income.
Wait, and there seemed to be only three who broke a billion in annual personal income—one of them being Zhang Dayi right here.
"Miss’s contract fee wasn’t even a billion..."
When she sighed wistfully, she curiously didn’t use herself as an example, which was cautious and kind of amusing.
Su Huai subtly reminded her: "Three years for ninety million, she might not earn it back."
"Yeah." Zhang Dayi nodded, "Game streamers do indeed have a bit less monetization capacity, but we need them for the IPO rush, can’t do without them."
Su Huai smoothly steered the conversation back: "What’s Ruhan planning? I’ve heard the reaction to the New Third Board listing isn’t that good?"
"Indeed, below expectations." Zhang Dayi said with a wry smile and shake of her head, "But I don’t understand all that, and right now we can’t afford to think too much, focusing on the product and sales is what matters."
According to the brief information Su Huai had found, Ruhan went public on the New Third Board in August, with a peak market value of 3.3 billion, currently at 2.5 billion, with average investor recognition.
"Oh?" Su Huai asked straightforwardly, "Don’t you hope to switch to a main board listing?"
"Is hope useful?"
At that moment, when Zhang Dayi retorted, her eyes were particularly defiant.
And Su Huai knew, she really was someone full of ambition.
Glad to hear it, I just fear you’d be without ambition.
Su Huai sipped his coffee, deciding to discuss something serious with her.
"Sister Yi, my elder is in investment, might be a bit more professional than Ali, want to hear my opinion?"
"Want to!"
Zhang Dayi propped her chin with her hands, her eyes full of expectation, giving great importance to Su Huai’s opinion.
Su Huai was just too good-looking, even though he was young, he looked every bit the well-educated, top-tier rich second generation, and she, who came from humble beginnings, really acknowledged that.
"Ruhan isn’t your company, but strictly speaking, it’s propped up by you alone, your personal profit share is over 50% isn’t it?"
"Yeah, roughly."
"The concern of the capital is here, orthodox investment philosophy is extremely wary of mechanisms where the risk is too concentrated."
"Why?"
"Because this isn’t a systematic risk, but an uncontrollable specific dynamic risk."
Su Huai explained to her in a gentle tone with a calm demeanor.
At that moment, the sunlight shone down, and he looked as if he was glowing.
"Systematic risks can hardly be eradicated, but we know they’re there, they can be observed, can be predicted about where they might burst, their destructive mechanisms, and the worst outcomes, so there are ways to sidestep or mitigate the losses."
"However, you’re an individual, yet as the face and foundation of Ruhan, you as the source of risk are unpredictable and uncontrollable."
"For example—"
"If scandalous news about you breaks out, Ruhan collapses."
"You fall in love and your partner is ugly, causing a mass exodus of fans, Ruhan collapses."
"You fall ill and can’t stream for three months, Ruhan collapses."
"One day you’re in a bad mood and make an off-the-cuff remark picked up by the media, Ruhan collapses."
"Or even, if a competitor spends 10,000 to hire someone to throw a bag of poop at your face during a public event, it could potentially cause Ruhan to collapse."
"So can you understand the concerns of the capital?"
"Not even Jobs was as important to Apple as you are to Ruhan."
"Betting all their chips on you never having any issues is a grave irresponsibility to the funds and the future."
Zhang Dayi was so amused by Su Huai’s dirty joke that she burst into uncontrollable laughter, nearly splitting from laughter.
"Throwing... throwing poop at my face... little brother, how are you so funny?!"
Su Huai: ???
What’s with your sense of humor?
"We’re discussing serious matters, did you understand?"
"Hahaha... I get it, I get it..."
She couldn’t stop laughing, but indeed she had grasped Su Huai’s theory. After enough laughter, she asked with intrigue, "So it’s already like this, how can we solve it?"
Su Huai answered calmly, pushing forward: "Reduce your personal importance and settle investors’ nerves."
"Create another internet sensation?"
She caught the main point immediately but frowned.
"We’ve actually been working hard at it, but, we can only push people as much as we can, whether they get famous is really a matter of fate; live streaming is too picky."
