[What a broad back! Can I leave a few scratch marks on it?~]

[I think your sofa is missing a woman, and I’m very good at lounging!]

"..."

Lin Shen skimmed through the comments and private messages in his backend, finding them more and more amusing as he read.

Turns out, when women start telling dirty jokes, they leave men in the dust.

’Speaking of which, does this count as harassment?’

Lin Shen silently closed Xiaohongshu and opened the Big Blue Book.

[Upgrade Mission: Publish a post about high-quality men and gain 1,000 followers (Completed).]

[Big Blue Book Lv. 3 → Lv. 4]

[Decryption Effect: Organic traffic boost increased: 40% → 50%]

[Reward: 1x Basic Experience Book]

[Upgrade Mission: Publish a post about luxury goods and gain 10,000 followers.]

To be honest, Lin Shen wasn’t particularly interested in the Experience Book reward from the Big Blue Book.

He had already saved up two of them, waiting for Shuaiyang to offer him a good skill.

The Decryption Effect was Lin Shen’s true motivation for completing the Big Blue Book’s missions.

In today’s internet-driven world, whoever cracks the code to generating traffic is the one who secures a foothold in marketing.

Speaking of marketing, the dozen or so pet bloggers he’d hired began sending their edited videos to Lin Shen through the "Shennan Pet Society Promotional Group Chat."

He gave them a quick look.

Well... they were hard to put into words.

To put it simply: no wonder you guys aren’t popular!

There’s a reason for it!

Aside from the video from one pet blogger with over a million followers, which Lin Shen was quite happy with, the rest were all cookie-cutter productions.

They lacked originality and wouldn’t entice anyone to click.

"Unbelievable,"

Lin Shen sighed, just as an idea flashed in his mind.

He uploaded the pet bloggers’ videos directly to his Super Editing AI and had it generate various optimization plans.

As expected, the optimized videos were much more fluid overall.

From composition to camera angles, they now better matched the warm, healing theme of the Shennan Pet Society.

Lin Shen sent the optimized videos back to the group chat. The pet bloggers were completely taken aback, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief.

Seriously?!

A client who not only doesn’t find fault with your work but actually helps you improve it?

This was too good to be true!

[Maodou’s father: Thank you, Boss! Boss Lin, you’re incredible! The optimized video is so much better than our own final cut!]

[Ruan: I know, right! I almost feel bad asking Boss Lin for payment now. Maybe we should do his next promotion for free?]

[GoodNewsYuan: I’m in! Once Boss Lin’s place opens, I’m bringing my little Yuan over to play every day!]

The pet bloggers showered Lin Shen with flattery and expressed their sincerest gratitude, all trying to strengthen their relationship with him.

A small smile played on Lin Shen’s lips. He then used his official Shennan Pet Society account to co-release the videos with them.

This would attract another huge wave of traffic to his account, increase his follower count, and help him complete Shuaiyang’s mission.

Furthermore, Lin Shen also embedded a link for advance-purchase group tickets for the Shennan Pet Society in their videos, allowing customers to make reservations.

The tickets were priced at 39.9 yuan.

This price stunned the pet bloggers once again.

They had done plenty of offline promotions, but they had never seen admission prices this low.

The average price per person at most Cat Cafes in Modu was around fifty or sixty yuan, with more expensive ones going as high as eighty or ninety!

The Shennan Pet Society might be in a relatively remote location, but the place itself was huge!

It could easily accommodate nearly a hundred customers at once.

Moreover, everyone had seen for themselves how well-decorated the Shennan Pet Society was.

It was arguably better than 90% of the other Cat Cafes out there.

To spend a fortune on renovations and promotions, only to charge such a cheap entry fee...

Breaking even was definitely out of the question. Was Lin Shen planning to operate at a loss just to build hype?

But even so, there was no need to set the price that low!

The pet bloggers couldn’t understand his reasoning and suggested he raise the price by at least ten yuan.

But Lin Shen stuck to his guns.

The reason he could do this was primarily because of the GoGo Maps startup fund, which made his various costs almost negligible.

Rent, utilities, equipment, materials, promotion...

All these costs, which would give any other business owner a massive headache, were things Lin Shen could cover simply by wandering around and passing through the Red Points on GoGo Maps.

Therefore, no matter what he set the ticket price at, Lin Shen wouldn’t lose money!

He could even set it at a dirt-cheap price of ten-something yuan.

However, to maintain the Shennan Pet Society’s brand image as a high-end Cat Cafe, Lin Shen ultimately set the price conservatively at 40 yuan.

This was a price that the vast majority of people could afford.

He also took into account that the main demographic for Cat Cafes was students.

Faced with his "stubbornness," the pet bloggers were unable to change his mind. In the end, they had no choice but to do as he said.

There was nothing to be done. He was the client, after all.

After the pet bloggers posted their videos, Lin Shen bought five thousand yuan worth of Dou+ promotion for each of them.

First, he wanted to see if he could get lucky and have a few more videos go viral.

Second, not only was Lin Shen not losing money on this, he was actually making a killing!

The money he spent on Dou+ for the pet bloggers was covered by the GoGo Maps startup fund, and on top of that, Shuaiyang would reimburse him for 45% of it!

"It really works!"
