Rebirth Starting as a Stock Market Enthusiast

Chapter 157 Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Since the chances of getting through to Chen Xi are slim, we can't put all our eggs in one basket.

Since meeting Xu Lu at Shen Fei's aunt's place, Ms. Chen has been quite satisfied with Xu Lu.

In Ms. Chen's opinion, Xu Lu is the kind of girl most suitable to marry and settle down with.

Although she was an orphan with a pitiful background, she was beautiful and had a good figure. Most importantly, the way she looked at her son was so affectionate and she couldn't hide it.

Isn't this much more reliable than that Chenxi who's so far away? Being close to the source gives you an advantage.

"Should we invite Lulu over for dinner?"

Shen Fei almost choked to death on the millet porridge in his mouth.

He looked up at his mother, who seemed to take it all for granted, with only one thought in his mind.

Good grief, Chen Xi's evaluation period has just ended and he's already been put on the bench?

"Mom, what are you thinking?" Shen Fei put down his bowl, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Xu Lu and I are just ordinary boss and employee. What's the meaning of you suddenly inviting her over for dinner? The girl will overthink it."

"What are you overthinking?" Ms. Chen glared at her and slammed her chopsticks down on the table. "I think you're overthinking it! I just saw that child all alone in Anyuan, all helpless and pitiful, so I invited her over for a simple home-cooked meal during the May Day holiday to reconnect. What's wrong with that?"

These words effectively blocked Shen Fei's escape route.

He rubbed his temples; his head ached.

Reasoning with your own mother is always the hardest thing in the world.

He knew very well that Xu Lu was a sensitive girl, and that she had a certain inexplicable dependence on him.

If my mom really calls me over, the whole situation will change.

"Mom, the company requires us to work overtime during the May Day holiday to plan a new project. Everyone's busy."

"Overtime?" Ms. Chen looked at him suspiciously. "Overtime during a holiday? Your boss is too greedy!"

"It's the start-up phase, there's no other way." Shen Fei finished the rest of his porridge in a few gulps, grabbed two tea eggs, and stood up. "I'm going to the company now, we'll talk about this later."

After saying that, he slipped out of the house as if he were fleeing.

Feiyu Media.

Shen Fei had just sat down in the boss's chair when he sent a message to the company's group chat.

"Ziyi, Jiahui, come to my office."

Less than five minutes later, Qin Ziyi and Zhou Jiahui pushed open the door and walked in one after the other.

"Brother Fei."

"President Shen."

The two greeted each other in unison.

Shen Fei nodded, gesturing for them to sit down, and then looked at Qin Ziyi, asking, "Ziyi, how's your novel project going?"

Qin Ziyi immediately opened his notebook, straightening his back ramrod straight: "Brother Fei, as you instructed, our free novel WeChat official account matrix has been fully deployed. Currently, we directly control 320 marketing accounts and cooperate with more than 80 internet celebrities. Last week, our daily recharge amount has steadily exceeded 80,000 yuan."

Even though Shen Fei had expected it, he still couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard the number.

Daily top-up of 50,000.

This means that by simply directing traffic to novel platforms, the company can generate a net cash inflow of over 2.4 million yuan per month.

Even after deducting the influencer's commission, there is still a profit of 1.9 million.

"Well done." Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction. "How many novel authors have joined now?"

Upon hearing Shen Fei's question, Qin Ziyi's excited expression instantly vanished, replaced by a somewhat serious one.

He scratched his head and said, "Brother Fei, this is a tough nut to crack. Although our WeChat official account matrix has a lot of traffic, it's mostly used to drive traffic to other platforms now. On our own platform, it's too slow for authors to join."

"Be more specific."

"So far, fewer than fifty people have proactively come to submit their books, and they're all writing drafts to try their luck," Qin Ziyi sighed. "Now, the only editor keeping an eye on things is Lao Zhou. He's going bald from reading all that drivel every day. Lao Zhou says we're not famous enough, and the real writing masters don't even bother with us."

After listening, Shen Fei fell into deep thought.

The office was completely silent.

Qin Ziyi and Zhou Jiahui held their breath, waiting for Shen Fei's decision.

After a long pause, Shen Fei raised his head, looked at Qin Ziyi, and said decisively, "Starting today, all the revenue from the novel project for the next six months will be invested entirely in author welfare and editorial team building, without keeping a single penny for ourselves."

"What?" Qin Ziyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

Nearly two million in net profit a month, just give it up like that?

What is this game?

Shen Fei ignored his shock and continued, "You should issue an announcement that all contracted authors on Eggplant Novels will see a 30% increase in royalties. In addition, we'll establish a perfect attendance award, a new author support bonus, and a completion reward..."

"As for Lao Zhou... tell him not to focus too much on quality yet. As long as he can consistently write 20,000 words, sign him directly. He'll get full attendance bonus if he updates daily. Just get the volume up first..."

""

Qin Ziyi swallowed hard.

He could throw away over a million yuan in cash without batting an eye.

My godfather's magnanimity is truly beyond what ordinary people can match!

"Understood! I'll go discuss the plan with Lao Zhou right away, and we'll release the welfare announcement across the entire internet tomorrow!" Qin Ziyi nodded emphatically.

Shen Fei turned to Zhou Jiahui beside him: "Jiahui, what about the pet track?"

Zhou Jiahui immediately sat up straight and handed over a report: "President Shen, things are progressing very smoothly here. Duo Duo's Ultraman has officially surpassed four million followers yesterday."

"Moreover, the advantages of the cute pet market have become fully apparent." She reported clearly and logically, "First, it attracts fans extremely quickly. Regardless of age or gender, people have little resistance to furry animals..."

Shen Fei nodded, very satisfied with Zhou Jiahui's performance. To succeed in the pet-themed content market, content innovation is especially important. Although Shen Fei had suggested creative directions quite a bit, Zhou Jiahui was also very talented and could often come up with new ideas by drawing inferences from one instance to another.

The pet-related sector has obvious advantages and will be a key area for Shen Fei's future sales efforts.

First of all, pets don't pose a risk of their persona collapsing, and the content is safe and stable.

Secondly, pets have a wide audience, appealing to men, women, young and old, and their fans are extremely loyal.

Furthermore, there are numerous channels for monetization, including cat food, dog food, toys, and pet hospitals, with virtually no ceiling to growth.

How are the newly signed influencers doing?

"As per your instructions, we signed three new pet influencers last month." Zhou Jiahui turned to the next page. One was a content creator from ACFun (A-site), who owns a Golden Retriever and focuses on a healing and companionate image. He's already uploaded five videos, with consistently around 500,000 views. Another was a local college student who owns a Husky and specializes in funny, destructive videos. His first video, showing him destroying his dorm sofa, went viral, already garnering over 100,000 likes.

Zhou Jiahui paused for a moment and then said, "There's another one that's a bit special. It's a reptile blogger who keeps a corn snake. He's still in the content planning stage."
