Great, it's a scalper, we're saved!

Zheng Fan actually has a very open-minded attitude towards money.

They are already financially independent, so even if they become the richest person like Fan Daqin, their lives will not be much different.

Otherwise, Zheng Fan wouldn't have chosen to become a scalper.

However, I'm not that interested in money.

But what I'm entitled to, I must get.

Isn't it a huge loss if the production team keeps taking advantage of us?

"Given my current popularity, that 100 million yuan prize is definitely going to be mine."

Zheng Fan rubbed his chin, feeling a little better.

The prize money of 100 million yuan is already in my pocket, so I don't think I've lost too much.

"But in any case, we should make good use of our current popularity!"

Zheng Fan made up his mind.

Asking the production team for money is obviously impossible, since an agreement was already reached when the applicant signed up, and the production team has no reason to pay even if the show becomes very popular.

While it's possible to get something out of the production team through coercion and bribery, that would be shrewish, unreasonable, and extremely undignified—something Zheng Fan would never do.

Since they couldn't get money from the production team, they had to find their own way.

With so many people watching him right now, he'll have to be careful when taking orders in the future, which will seriously hinder his earning speed.

Zheng Fan understands that the higher the popularity, the more haters there are.

After a moment's thought, Zheng Fan's eyes lit up, and a simple and direct solution came to mind.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After finishing his morning exercise, Zheng Fan took a quick shower, dressed up carefully, and stood in front of the mirror.

She claimed to be dressed up seriously, but it was really just a matter of casually blow-drying her hair; her clothes were still a T-shirt and baggy shorts.

After confirming that his outfit was correct, Zheng Fan took out his phone and applied to start a live broadcast.

"You guys are all pretty punctual."

"Why is the dog streamer starting his broadcast so early today? It's only a little past seven?"

"You've already received an order?"

"Yesterday's live stream almost killed me with laughter, hahaha! The damn deletion of 50 photos."

"Xu Na has already been exposed. She's a small-time streamer who came to Penang to meet with a top-ranking male fan."

"It's said that the top-ranked fan has already applied for a refund for a minor after seeing the photo."

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Holy crap! What the hell are they wearing?"

"What???"

"..."

Upon seeing Zheng Fan start his live stream early in the morning, viewers who had been waiting in the live stream room immediately flooded in.

However, just as the audience was excitedly discussing the matter, they were stunned when they saw Zheng Fan's clothes.

He was still wearing the familiar short-sleeved shirt and baggy shorts.

But the problem is...

The pure white T-shirt had five large, bright red characters printed on it, both front and back.

—Girl's seat for rent! ?! ?

……

Although he couldn't see the comments, Zheng Fan could guess that the viewers in the live stream must be a little confused at this moment.

"This should be the simplest and most direct method."

Zheng Fan, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

They can't ask the production team for money, and they can't cash in the gifts they receive.

The only thing I can do is collect GG fees.

"These big red characters are a bit ugly; they should be properly formatted and designed."

The custom T-shirts were ordered in such a rush that there was absolutely no time for design.

However, Zheng Fan already had a guess about his future attire; he would most likely be like those professional gamers, covered in various brand logos.

"It seems a bit unfair to just give others a 'GG' (game over)?"

"How about we start our own factory or something, and sell some products?"

Suddenly, Zheng Fan felt a surge of entrepreneurial desire.

Drop drop-

While I was thinking, my phone suddenly beeped with a notification sound.

Zheng Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Is it really that effective?

Do they already have sponsors?

However, after turning on his phone, Zheng Fan pursed his lips.

The expected sponsor did not appear; instead, it was a message from Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace platform).

"That's not bad, we got orders early this morning."

Zheng Fan didn't think much of it and opened the message.

Do you know how to edit videos?

What should I cut?

Zheng Fan replied with a question.

His editing skills are indeed quite good.

However, if you're editing a movie or something, then it's a bit unnecessary.

The workload is too heavy; no matter how much money is offered, I'm too lazy to take the orders.

[Is it okay if it's just a short video?]

……

Penang, development zone.

Inside a dilapidated factory yard.

"How is it, Sister Zhao?"

Liu Jianjun squatted on the corridor outside the factory, looking somewhat dejected. He stubbed out his cigarette and turned to ask.

"I'm looking for someone right now."

Zhao Huilan sat on a small stool, replying to messages with her head down.

"Do you think shooting a short video is useful?"

Liu Jianjun lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and asked wistfully.

"It'll definitely work, factory manager. These days, young people are all into Douyin (TikTok), right? We can make a video and maybe sell off our inventory."

Zhao Huilan said this.

"Well, I hope so."

Liu Jianjun sighed deeply, his brow furrowed with worry.

Jianjun Electronics Factory, though called a factory, was really just a small workshop.

The entire factory, including the factory manager, has only 6 people.

Having been established for decades, it has faced many ups and downs, and it has not been easy for it to get to where it is today.

Our usual orders are custom-made products from large companies, such as electric kettles and rice cookers. These items don't require much technology and rely solely on their low prices to succeed.

Not long ago, they received an order from a new energy vehicle company to customize a batch of electronic car models.

The entire factory attaches great importance to this order. The reason is simple: the other party is a car manufacturer. If this cooperation goes smoothly, they will definitely not have to worry about orders in the future.

Moreover, electronic car models don't involve much technology; they're simply toy car models with some LEDs and horns added.

But to Liu Jianjun's surprise, after they worked overtime to produce this batch of goods, their partner went bankrupt!

Having lived for over fifty years, this was the first time Liu Jianjun had ever heard of a car company going bankrupt!

However, reality did not allow Liu Jianjun to remain in shock.

As a small workshop, the profit margin was already meager. With this batch of goods stuck in our hands, our cash flow collapsed.

If we don't sell these model cars quickly, the only outcome will be the factory going out of business.

But a fatal problem arises: if it were other customized products, even if they lost some money, they could be sold quickly to revitalize cash flow.

But this time the product was a car model! And a car model from a bankrupt car company! It simply couldn't be sold!

Thinking about the ten thousand car models piled up in the warehouse, Liu Jianjun couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

It's difficult, extremely difficult.

He contacted many wholesalers, but no one was willing to take it on.

More than a month has passed now, and the factory has not been operating at all during this month.

If this drags on any longer, we won't even be able to pay the wages of the factory's older workers.

"Did you find her, Sister Zhao? What did they say?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jianjun asked somewhat anxiously.

Zhao Huilan is the factory's only accountant. She is in her forties and has worked at the factory for over twenty years.

After encountering this incident, she suggested selling car models on Douyin (TikTok).

Liu Jianjun didn't have much hope for this method.

The youngest person in the factory is Zhao Huilan, but she's already over forty and nobody understands this stuff on the internet.

Is this something that can be sold so easily?

"They agreed, saying they'd charge us 500 yuan to edit the video."

After a moment, Zhao Huilan spoke excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure walked out from the office next door.

"Aunt Zhao, you only come up with bad ideas."

"You think filming a video is all it takes to finish?"

Liu Xixi frowned slightly and spoke.

She is Liu Jianjun's daughter. She hasn't graduated from university yet and is helping out at the factory during her summer vacation.

"Why not? I see people on Douyin making millions or tens of millions just by selling goods."

Zhao Huilan frowned and said this.

It wasn't that she thought Liu Xixi's words were impolite. After all, they had worked together for so many years, and Liu Xixi was someone she had watched grow up. Their relationship was already as close as family.

It's not that they're unconvinced; they think, "If others can make money on Douyin, why can't my factory?"

"Aunt Zhao, other people can make money because they make good videos. We're a new account with no followers, how can we possibly create a viral video?"

Liu Xixi sighed and said this.

"I found someone on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app) who knows how to edit videos. We can just shoot a video introducing the car model later."

Zhao Huilan said this seriously, and showed the chat history.

Liu Xixi took the phone, scrolled through it, and then shook her head with a wry smile.

"Aunt Zhao, didn't you say that if we found an editor to help us edit a video, it would go viral?"

"A viral video requires a lot of things; editing is actually the least important."

"And look at the person you found, so many orders but 100% positive reviews, it's obviously faked, they might be a scammer."

Liu Xixi said this helplessly.

As a college student, although she didn't know how to operate a Douyin account, she was very aware of how difficult it was to create a viral video.

Can you really create a best-selling product for 500 yuan? Absolutely not.

Moreover, even if this video really goes viral, how much traffic will it bring?

At most, it'll only get a few tens of thousands of likes, right?

Of those tens of thousands of likes, how many people would be willing to buy a car model from a car company that has already gone bankrupt?

Unless there's a real explosion in video data, the outcome won't be good.

"Alright, Xixi, Aunt Zhao meant well."

Liu Jianjun interrupted their conversation by speaking up from the side.

"It's just 500 yuan, right? Let your Aunt Zhao give it a try. We're not short of 500 yuan anyway."

Liu Jianjun stubbed out his cigarette and said this.

Although he didn't approve of Zhao Huilan's method either.

But after all, Zhao Huilan was trying to find a way out for the factory, and her efforts cannot be denied in any way.

Besides, it's only 500 yuan; even if it doesn't work out, the loss won't be much.

"Dad, if you ask me, you should sell this factory."

"I live in constant fear all year round, but I don't earn much money."

"Now we're in trouble, look how difficult it is."

Seeing Liu Jianjun speak, Liu Xixi had no choice but to reluctantly give up on the topic and instead complained.

"Alright, alright, go and film a video with Aunt Zhao, and get this done quickly."

Liu Jianjun waved his hand impatiently, sending the two away.

He had indeed considered selling the factory long ago.

But it's easier said than done.

My factory has very low profit margins and is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Who would be willing to take it over?

Moreover, this is a factory that I have run by myself for decades, and I have a very deep affection for it.

Even if he could leave the factory, he couldn't rest easy about the employees there.

After decades of working together, their relationship has long since transcended that of superior and subordinate; they are more like family.

……

At this moment, at Wangjiang Pavilion.

Zheng Fan glanced at the message one last time, turned off his phone, and sat back down on the sofa.

"I want to create a viral video."

"We'll still sell car models from bankrupt car companies."

"This is indeed quite difficult."

Zheng Fan muttered to himself, pondering the order he had just taken on.

He learned a bit about the other party's situation and was surprised to find that it was a small electronics factory that was about to go bankrupt.

What's even more bizarre is that the purpose of having someone edit the video was to create a viral video to facilitate the sale of car models.

Zheng Fan could tell that Zhao Huilan, the woman opposite him, was definitely a middle-aged woman who didn't understand short videos.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such an outrageous request.

However, despite the outrageous demands, Zheng Fan still chose to accept them.

The reason is quite simple.

Because Zhao Huilan didn't understand short videos, she didn't set any hard requirements, such as how many likes or how many orders had to be sold.

Anyway, I just need to edit the video according to their requirements.

As for whether it can become a hit...

"Following my method, getting tens of thousands of likes should be a piece of cake."

Zheng Fan probably had a premonition in mind.

In any case, it's definitely worth the price of 500 yuan.

……

"Holy crap, dude, how come the streamer knows how to edit videos?"

"What? What can't this dog streamer do?"

"How many skills has the streamer unlocked so far?"

"Holy crap! I'd believe any streamer these days if they said they could conjure rockets with their hands!"

"Damn, so it's just one new skill every day?"

"Does the streamer have a system?"

"Golden Finger: The higher the audience's emotions, the more awesome the new skills unlocked."

"But this customer is a bit odd."

"Yeah, she looks like an old lady who doesn't know anything."

"You think you can make a viral video with just 500 yuan? That's wishful thinking."

"I work at an MCN company. If we want to produce a video that gets over 10,000 likes, we have to invest at least a few thousand yuan."

"We're still selling custom-made car models. Unless the video goes viral out of the blue, who the hell would buy it?"

"Why would a dog streamer accept this order? It's only 500 yuan, it's not worth it at all."

"Nonsense, the streamer only needs to edit the footage; the data has nothing to do with him."

"That's right, the streamer absolutely won't allow himself to be taken advantage of."

"..."

The conversation between Zheng Fan and Zhao Huilan sparked a heated discussion among viewers in the live stream.

Even though many people already knew that Zheng Fan possessed a variety of skills, they didn't expect that he could even do editing.

However, what viewers couldn't help but complain about was Zhao Huilan's request.

Want to create a viral video for only 500 yuan?

Most of them are middle-aged or elderly women who see videos with high likes on Douyin and mistakenly believe that they can do the same.
