Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

"That's right. I originally expected that it would take at least a week for Teacher Li's traffic to recover to the tens of millions level. I didn't expect that this time it was noticed by the State Administration of Radio and Television. That's why Teacher Li's video was able to get so many views."

"Then..." After Shen Fei's confirmation, Zhao Dong was stunned. After a long while, he slowly said, "President Shen, tell me the truth: if we choose the second option, how much will our annual sales increase?"

"Hmm... let's say a minimum of fifteen million."

Since Douyin has not yet started building its own e-commerce platform, and its short video sales are only linked to third-party websites like Tmall and Taobao, Shen Fei did not make any definitive statements.

"Mr. Shen, how about this? You manage it for us for a year, the cost is one million, and we'll give you a 20% commission. What do you think?"

"OK."

Shen Fei was surprised by Zhao Dong's choice. This plan also showed that Zhao Dong was sincere in his desire to cooperate. After so many contacts, Shen Fei understood Zhao Dong very well.

Although Zhao Dong has some ulterior motives, his character is not bad; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take a company from a small county town to the point of going public.

With annual operating costs of one million plus a 20% commission, compared to a 50/50 profit split, Shen Fei was definitely at a disadvantage. However, since Zhao Dong was willing to cooperate, Shen Fei naturally welcomed it, after all, there are no permanent enemies in business...

"President Shen, I'm here with sincerity to cooperate with you this time. I hope you can give us your full support in our operations. I, Zhao Dong, will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"No problem, let's sign the contract now."

"Yes, Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

......

Qin Ziyi was standing nearby and witnessed the entire exchange.

In less than ten minutes of conversation, the godfather easily earned a million.

Moreover, the godfather acted so relaxed and carefree, while Zhao Dong kept begging for cooperation.

That's Zhao Dong! Before Longfor Properties took off, he was the richest man in Anyuan County.

Just then, Shen Fei patted Qin Ziyi on the shoulder and asked, "What are you daydreaming about? Did you come back today?"

"Ah! Oh! Brother Fei, I came here today mainly to talk to you about Brother Daqiang's situation."

After finishing the business, Qin Ziyi asked in a low voice, "Brother Fei, how... how did you know Zhao Dong would definitely agree?"

Shen Fei didn't stop walking and casually said, "He has no choice. Zhao Dong's predicament is not just about the pressure of inventory. His biggest problem is the pressure from the shareholders. His only way out is to create impressive sales figures through online channels to appease those old guys."

Qin Ziyi was shocked. He couldn't understand how Shen Fei knew about such a confidential matter, which Zhao Dong would definitely not have revealed.

Shen Fei glanced at him and continued, "Anyuan Garments is a listed company, and it holds a shareholders' meeting every year to be accountable for its annual performance. They previously tried e-commerce and live streaming, but instead of improving their performance, they burned through a lot of money, making their financial statements even worse. If they can't produce impressive figures at this shareholders' meeting, what do you think those money-grubbing shareholders will do to them?"

Qin Ziyi understood instantly, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

If things go wrong, even Chairman Zhao Dong might not be able to keep his position!

No wonder he was willing to spend so much money to hire Feiyu Media for operations.

It turns out that his godfather had known all along his trump card!

"Brother Fei, I understand!" Qin Ziyi's eyes were filled with fervent admiration.

"Alright, get to your business." Shen Fei waved his hand and pulled up a chair to sit down.

"Oh, Fei-ge, it's about Da-qiang. There's been a bit of trouble lately. Ever since his wife found out he has hundreds of thousands of followers, she's been coming to his door to wait for him every day. The reservoir situation is fine; I recently leased the entire reservoir, and with Grandpa Yang blocking her way, she doesn't dare to go over. I'm just a little worried about Da-qiang's situation..."

......

At 3 p.m., when Shen Fei and Qin Ziyi arrived at the reservoir, Wang Daqiang had just caught a fish and was preparing to cook.

Shen Fei had prepared a script for him beforehand: fetch water from the stream by the reservoir to cook rice, then start frying fish on a portable gas stove. Once the fish is golden brown on both sides, pour in a basin of stream water to cook it.

Once it's almost cooked, I take some corn bait I usually use for fishing, sprinkle some in for seasoning, ostensibly to enhance the aroma and flavor...

"The joy of anglers is so simple and unpretentious."

Shen Fei prepared a lot of tools for him here, but they were all basic survival tools, such as a portable stove, a kitchen knife, a tent, and disposable bowls and chopsticks. After Wang Daqiang finished eating, he would clean up all the trash and take it down the mountain with him.

Shen Fei saw that Wang Daqiang was filming a video, but did not disturb him. Of the five old men he had signed with, only Grandpa Yang was still there.

Shen Fei led Qin Ziyi over to Grandpa Yang, who was fishing.

Mr. Yang is an elderly man living alone, as his children all work in other places.

Mr. Yang used to work for a state-owned enterprise. Although his pension wasn't much, it was still 4,000 yuan a month, which was more than enough for him to live on.

The reason I was willing to sign with Shen Fei was entirely because I was interested in short videos. He is witty, has a cheerful personality, and enjoys interacting with young people.

Approaching Grandpa Yang, Shen Fei smiled and offered him a cigarette: "Grandpa Yang, how have you been lately?"

Grandpa Yang took the cigarette, tucked it behind his ear, and waved his hand cheerfully: "It's great! Staying here in this beautiful place every day is more comfortable than in the city. It's just that Daqiang hasn't been feeling well these past few days."

Qin Ziyi chimed in from the side, "Sir, is it his wife again?"

"That's for sure!" Grandpa Yang slapped his thigh, his tone full of disdain. "Before, Daqiang was dirt poor, and she ran away faster than anyone else. Now that Daqiang is popular online, she comes to see him every few days, wanting to remarry him."

Shen Fei nodded and looked at Wang Daqiang in the distance.

Wang Daqiang has been living in the wild for several days. He has basically not gone back except to charge the outdoor power source, and he hasn't even taken a shower.

In this sweltering heat, I've completely gone bad.

But he could endure it; his conviction was stronger than anyone else's.

Shen Fei wasn't worried at all about Wang Daqiang's wife causing trouble, mainly because there was a contract in place, and Wang Daqiang wasn't a young man; he knew the consequences of not being able to pay the penalty for breach of contract.

What if Wang Daqiang's wife "boxed" online?

That would be great... It wouldn't matter if it didn't become popular, but if it did, it would bring in traffic out of nowhere.

.....

Soon, Wang Daqiang finished filming the video, and Shen Fei went over.

"Brother Daqiang, how's things at home?"

Shen Fei still needed to come and ask. On the one hand, he wanted to show his concern for Wang Daqiang. On the other hand, family matters could be used for publicity, and Shen Fei needed to understand the situation clearly.

While cleaning up the trash, Wang Daqiang said, "She talked to me these past few days. Knowing I have hundreds of thousands of followers, her attitude has improved a lot. She wants to remarry me..."
