February 30, 2014, Lunar New Year's Eve.

Chen Yiran's family actually had a very strange Spring Festival. According to Chen Yiran, they calculated it according to Lanai Island's time.

However, my grandparents insisted on staying up to Beijing time, mainly so they could watch the Spring Festival Gala. There was no other way but for the whole family to stay up late with them.

Normally, Lanai's time is 18 hours behind Beijing time. When Beijing time is late at night and the Spring Festival Gala is playing, it's just past midnight in Lanai.

Sure enough, the elderly couple gave up at 11 o'clock. They directly blamed their two grandchildren, saying that it's not good for children to stay up late, and since they were living abroad, they should follow the local time.

Chen Yiran's two cousins ​​were playing happily with the dog outside when they were forcibly dragged home to sleep.

Fortunately, Chen Yiran, who had achieved great success, was now in a state of lawlessness. He resolutely started staying up all night because he had a special connection to make that night.

Last year, the two uncles connected with Bilibili, put the esports club under the name BLG, and also invested some money.

Although it's not a large sum, only one million US dollars, it's already a precious amount for Shanghai Huandian, which was just officially registered in May.

The two uncles didn't actually spend much money; the money they saved came from their monthly trust payments.

After Chen Yiran found out, he made a bold move in September 2013, casually investing 9 million US dollars, which directly boosted Bilibili's valuation to 3 million.

Bilibili has transformed from a niche, personal, fan-driven anime website into a well-funded, future-oriented internet company.

However, this transaction is not yet known to the public because Chen Yiran did not register it under his own name, but rather through a Singapore-based trust investment.

He didn't think it was a secret; he just wanted to find a special day to announce it.

Therefore, once preparations for the New Year's greeting ceremony began, his family trust office, following his instructions, forcibly communicated with the station manager, Xu Yi, demanding that they intensify their efforts and make it a big event! They wanted to broadcast the New Year's greeting ceremony live!

Xu Yi was initially reluctant; even if he had money, he didn't think he should spend it like that. The traffic-generating effect of this New Year's greeting event was actually quite mediocre; it was essentially just Bilibili users entertaining themselves.

However, the other party is a major shareholder, a board member, and the real financial backer.

So he could only talk about other things, and even wanted to ask Chen Yiran's two uncles for help to mediate. They were Chen Yiran's uncles, and even the Singaporean capital would have to give them some face.

Then he took out his tablet, and Chen Yiran's video call made Xu Yi laugh so hard that snot was running down his face.

Chen Yiran painted a lot of rosy pictures for him, the first being the unprecedented strength of Bilibili's future copyright holdings. Disney, Warner Bros., and even Fox would be considered its own.

Of course, the recent thing is to make the New Year's greeting ceremony more lively and turn it into a live broadcast so that he can make an appearance!

Therefore, this year's New Year's Greeting Festival can be described as having a strong lineup, ample funding, and a visual quality that is far superior to previous New Year's Greeting Festivals.

The first test of the live broadcast format did not encounter a cold reception. There are still many young people who do not like to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Many people are in the living room with their parents, but they are actually watching the New Year's greetings on their mobile phones.

It wasn't until almost midnight, which was 6 a.m. on Lanai Island, just before sunrise.

The live stream signal came over here, and Pidan's sleeping face appeared in the video. Then the camera shifted, and Chen Yiran appeared on the screen.

The barrage of comments exploded. Chen Yiran looked at the screen full of comments and said, "Happy Chinese New Year to all Bilibili users! Wow, this number of comments, is it going to surpass Misaka Mikoto? I don't think I need to introduce myself, but I still want to."

Hello everyone, I'm Chen Yiran, a new UP (uploader) on Bilibili. Although I haven't posted a single video yet, I'll start posting more actively next year! Now, let me give you a performance first.

Countless Bilibili users suddenly jumped up. They never expected that our ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community was so powerful that even the world's richest man is one of ours.

Then the camera started to zoom out, and that's when everyone realized that the camera was actually on a drone.

As the camera rises, everyone sees the words formed by lights on the ground: "Wishing everyone immediate success."

The comments section started complaining again, saying that even the richest man's blessing was so cliché.

But then things changed again. The lights below suddenly started to rise, while their perspective shifted downwards, becoming an upward-looking view.

That's when they realized that the lights below were actually drones.

More than two thousand drones in the air formed the words "Happy New Year! Bilibili - ( ゜- ゜)つロ Cheers~!"

On that day, the hashtag Chen Yiran became a new Bilibili UP master stood out among a host of Spring Festival Gala hashtags and ranked second on the trending searches.

The drone video is circulating widely on Weibo, and netizens are starting to wonder what content Chen Yiran will post on Bilibili.

Of course, there were also a few companies that began to feel apprehensive.

Sohu Video, already in decline, was completely dumbfounded and started contacting Chen Yiran, hoping to seek cooperation.
