Rebirth in 2011: Starting as an Advertising Genius

Things are progressing smoothly and methodically.

The collaboration with Bilibili has been finalized, with a monthly fee of 36 yuan for 12 videos.

At the same time, both parties also agreed that Chen Jianghe could not accept commercial offers within one year, and the main purpose of the video was to increase traffic on Bilibili.

This request is reasonable, and Chen Jianghe doesn't plan to accept GG so soon; he still needs time to build up his account.

Bilibili's monthly signing fee of 36 yuan is enough to cover all his costs, and because he uses students, the costs are not high, and the profits are considerable.

There's another important matter to discuss today: the money-sharing plan for the meat floss shop.

The LOL De Yun Se account has posted 8 videos so far. Although it hasn't gone viral, the existing data shows that it has at least attracted a number of fans.

"Brothers, it's time to split the money!"

Chen Jianghe was in his dormitory, calculating numbers on his computer.

"Holy crap, I'm so excited!"

"Old Chen, how much money will we get?"

Wang Lei, Xu Haibo, and Guo Qi all gathered around, and they were also excited.

I've worked hard for a month now. Although it's supposed to be a game, I have to come up with strategies every day, and I also have to perform stand-up comedy during recordings, so the pressure is considerable.

But because they are motivated, they are all willing to do it.

The motivation is nothing other than the ability to make money.

Chen Jianghe looked at his computer and began to talk about how much money he had earned this month:

"Our Taobao store sold a total of 2576 orders this month, totaling 6754 jin (3,837 catties). The profit per jin was 3 yuan..."

Before Chen Jianghe could finish speaking, the other three started making a fuss.

Wang Lei leaned close to the computer screen, his eyes wide open like saucers.

"Wait, let me calculate... 6754 multiplied by 3..." Wang Lei counted on his fingers, clearly math was not his forte.

"Twenty thousand two hundred and sixty-two," Xu Haibo said expressionlessly.

The dormitory was silent for half a second.

"Holy crap!!!"

Wang Lei's voice almost lifted the ceiling.

He jumped three feet high, his head hitting the upper bunk with a dull thud, but he ignored the pain, clutching his head and pacing around the dormitory: "Twenty thousand? More than twenty thousand? A month?"

Guo Qi didn't jump, but her mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.

He sat in the chair, his legs shaking involuntarily.

"Old Chen, you didn't miscalculate, did you?" Xu Haibo, though he had given the number, clearly didn't quite believe it himself, leaning closer to stare at the screen. "Really twenty thousand?"

Chen Jianghe turned the computer around, and the screen displayed the Taobao store's backend data, which was very clear: this month's sales: 2576 orders, total weight: 6754 jin, total profit: 20262 yuan.

"See for yourself." Chen Jianghe leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked as calm as if he had just given a weather forecast.

The three people stared intently at the screen, looking at it three times from top to bottom to confirm that it wasn't a dream.

"Then... how much will we get?" Wang Lei swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.

"As agreed before, I'll take 40%, and you'll each take 20%. The deposit for the Taobao store is what I advanced beforehand." Chen Jianghe tapped a few times on the calculator. "Each of you will get 3952 yuan."

Three thousand nine hundred and fifty-two.

Wang Lei stopped spinning and shouting, freezing in place as if he had been paralyzed by acupuncture.

Xu Haibo pushed up his glasses, his lips pressed into a thin line, but his ears were already bright red.

Guo Qi's legs trembled even more violently. He suddenly stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Four thousand yuan..." Wang Lei muttered to himself, "My monthly living expenses are one thousand yuan, this is enough for me for four months..."

"You can buy those AJs now," Chen Jianghe reminded him.

Wang Lei's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

It's not that I'm being dramatic, it's that I genuinely didn't expect it.

When Chen Jianghe first said he would earn "ten thousand yuan a month," he thought he was just bragging.

As a result, he was able to receive 4000 yuan in just the first month.

"Old Chen." Wang Lei turned around, looked at Chen Jianghe, his voice a little hoarse, "How...how did you know this could make money?"

Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "Because I've seen it before."

"What have you seen?"

"I've seen other people make money this way." He mumbled, then clapped his hands. "Alright, I'll transfer the money to you later. Now the question is—how do you plan to spend this money?"

This question was like a pebble thrown into a lake, and the dormitory instantly erupted in chaos.

"I want to buy Air Jordans!" Wang Lei shouted first, his eyes shining. "I've been eyeing those black and white ones for two months!"

"How much?" Xu Haibo asked.

"One thousand and two."

"You allocated four thousand, spent twelve thousand on shoes, what about the rest?"

Wang Lei thought for a moment, then scratched his head: "Save it? No, I need to buy my mom a dress. She said she saw a wool coat she liked last time, but thought it was too expensive, over seven hundred..."

After hearing this, Guo Qi sneered, "Pathetic."

Then he took out his phone and scrolled through it. "I want to buy that new mechanical keyboard, Cherry, red switches, 999."

"You're still criticizing me? Buying such an expensive keyboard is really extravagant!" Wang Lei retorted.

"This is a productivity tool for me," Guo Qi said matter-of-factly. "If it feels good when playing games, the video quality will be higher in the future; that's an investment."

Xu Haibo remained silent.

Chen Jianghe looked at him: "Haibo, what about you?"

Xu Haibo adjusted his glasses and said earnestly, "My mom has bad knees, and I want to buy her a knee brace. I read online that the kind with infrared technology costs two or three hundred yuan. The rest... I'll save it."

The dormitory suddenly became quiet.

Wang Lei and Guo Qi exchanged a glance, and neither of them continued their playful banter.

Chen Jianghe nodded, saying nothing more, only adding casually, "There might be more next month."

"How much?" the three asked in unison.

"The Taobao store hasn't reached its peak season yet, and Deyunse's video data is rising, so sales are expected to steadily increase next month."

Chen Jianghe checked his phone. "If all goes well, doubling your earnings shouldn't be a problem for each of you."

Double it, to eight thousand.

Wang Lei couldn't stop smiling.

Xu Haibo's hand, which was pushing up his glasses, froze in mid-air.

Guo Qi's legs started shaking again.

"Then...what are we waiting for? Let's record the video!" Wang Lei grabbed the earphones. "Haibo, let's practice that bush-camping Lun and Zhao Xin combo again tonight!"

Guo Qi had already turned on his computer and logged into the game.

Chen Jianghe watched his three roommates enthusiastically starting to rank up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from the drawer, pulled one out and put it in his mouth without lighting it.

Although I still smoke in this life, I smoke much less, since the pressure isn't as great as it was in the previous life.

Outside the window, the April night breeze carries the fragrance of magnolia blossoms from afar.

"Old Chen!" Wang Lei called out to him, "How do we coordinate this team again? Teach us again!"
