Chapter 264: Chapter 270: TikTok Becomes a Massive Hit

At noon, Ye Chen was having a meal with Li Sitong.

Li Sitong said she missed Ye Chen, so he specifically treated her to her favorite grilled steak.

Ye Chen’s phone rang.

He checked the time; it was just past twelve.

"Uncle Li, calling at this time, the twenty-four-hour data must be out."

Ye Chen answered the phone and said with a smile.

Li Li nodded. "Yes, our twenty-four-hour download count reached six million, exceeding our expectations."

Previously, their expected download count was only three million.

Now, it has exactly doubled.

Li Li continued, "The daily active users data is also out, reaching five million."

As he spoke of these figures, Li Li was so excited he was almost incoherent.

These numbers were truly terrifying.

Li Li said excitedly, "Younger Brother Ye, you are truly amazing."

He never expected that a short video app would attract so many people to download it.

At first, when Ye Chen said how powerful this short video software was, Li Li didn’t quite believe it.

Especially when Ye Chen said the value of this software was one hundred billion.

Li Li was even more skeptical.

But now, he truly believed it.

The potential shown by this software was immense.

Their users would definitely continue to grow exponentially; before long, it was even possible for their users to exceed one hundred million.

Once their users continued to increase, TikTok’s market value would also keep rising.

One hundred billion USD was not just a dream.

Of course, Li Li also knew that the reason TikTok was so popular was related to Ye Chen’s heavy investment in promotion some time ago.

Most importantly, Ye Chen had planned ahead and paid people to film many videos.

Without the attraction of these videos, it would have been impossible to reach such terrifying download numbers.

Because while the promotion attracted a large wave of users...

...more users were attracted by the playability of TikTok.

Word spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, combined with media publicity.

And what attracted the users were, of course, the videos Ye Chen had filmed.

Li Li could now be said to admire Ye Chen to the point of prostration.

This young man was simply too talented.

How did Ye Chen create so many interesting videos?

Ye Chen laughed. "This is just the beginning; I still have some tricks up my sleeve."

Upon hearing this, Li Li said, "I’m just going to cling to your coattails to make money now."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Just wait for the good show."

Hanging up the phone, Ye Chen said to Li Sitong, "Si Tong, you can post that TikTok video from that day now."

Li Sitong was stunned for a moment. "Huh, is it really okay?" Rose

Ye Chen smiled. "You will become the most popular star on the internet. You don’t need to look for those directors at all; once you become famous, directors will come to you humbly to ask you to film movies."

Li Sitong nodded.

Then she uploaded the filmed ’Mohe Ballroom.’

Ye Chen then made a call to the Technical Department.

Soon, whenever anyone scrolled through TikTok, they would find a girl playing the Guitar and telling a moving love story.

Instantly, the entire TikTok platform was in an uproar.

"This song is so beautiful."

"Is this story real? This love is simply too touching."

"Oh my god, that young lady is so beautiful."

...A poignant love story, combined with a beautiful song, and most importantly, sung by a stunning beauty—instantly, this song became a hit across the entire internet.

Li Sitong was dazed looking at her own profile page.

In just one hour, her TikTok account already had 100,000 followers.

And the speed was still increasing exponentially.

Good heavens, this is going viral way too fast.

Ye Chen smiled faintly. "Now you know the power of TikTok."

It was only natural for Li Sitong to become famous.

Her Boyfriend was the boss of TikTok; he could make it so that the first thing everyone scrolled to was Li Sitong’s song.

Moreover, Li Sitong’s image was beautiful, and with the perfect music and the poignant love story behind it, how could it not be a hit?

Li Sitong was completely stunned as she watched her follower count continuously increase.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Do you like this gift I gave you?"

Li Sitong nodded. "Hubby, you’re the best."

Ye Chen laughed. "This is just the first song. I’ll write a few more for you later and find some professional teams to help you film videos."

"Post updates regularly from now on. You don’t need to choose the songs; I’ll write them for you."

"Ah!" Li Sitong was taken aback.

Ye Chen laughed. "Haha, I will make you the most successful singer and then lead you into the film and television industry."

Li Sitong was a bit shy. "Is that really okay?"

Ye Chen smiled. "Of course. I guarantee you’ll be famous across the whole internet very soon."

Li Sitong nodded. "Anyway, you’re my Agent, so I’m counting on you."

Ye Chen smiled. "Don’t worry, with me here, you will definitely achieve your dreams."

With TikTok’s massive success, Ye Chen was also very happy.

Ye Chen understood that TikTok still had a long way to grow.

For example, future Livestreaming and collaborations with other e-commerce platforms.

These features could be rolled out gradually.

Li Sitong raised her wine glass and said, "Ye Chen, congratulations on TikTok achieving such great success."

Ye Chen laughed. "Haha, it’s just standard procedure. Wifey, don’t worship me too much!"

"By the way, you told our Old Li that the future valuation of TikTok could really reach one hundred billion?"

Li Sitong looked at Ye Chen with a face full of expectation.

Ye Chen nodded. "Yeah, one hundred billion is still a conservative estimate on my part."

"However, whether it can be achieved depends not on me, but on you."

Li Sitong was stunned. "Me???"

She stared blankly at Ye Chen, not understanding why it was her.

She felt like she hadn’t done anything.

Ye Chen played a bit coy and said, "Well, that’s a secret. You’ll find out later."

It wasn’t that Ye Chen didn’t want to say.

But if he said it now, Li Sitong might not be able to understand.

Li Sitong rolled her eyes at Ye Chen. "Hmph, so stingy."

Seeing that Ye Chen wouldn’t say, Li Sitong puffed out her cheeks and pouted.

"Wow, Ye Chen, my profile followers have already reached two hundred thousand." Li Sitong glanced at her phone and said in shock.

Ye Chen smiled. "Haha, this is just the beginning; there will be more surprises for you later."

"By the way, can you give me a hint? Why is it me?" Li Sitong suddenly brought the topic back.

Ye Chen smiled. "No."

Li Sitong looked aggrieved.

"Wuwuwu, my Boyfriend doesn’t love me anymore."

Ye Chen watched Li Sitong’s performance and said, "Alright, that’s a bit too much acting. Don’t think I don’t know you’re an acting student."

As he spoke, Ye Chen couldn’t help but pinch Li Sitong’s soft little cheek.

Tsk tsk, it’s really bouncy; the feel is great.

Li Sitong stuck out her tongue gloomily. "Sigh, I still couldn’t fool you."

Actually, she did it on purpose just now.

She hoped her Boyfriend would see her looking pitiful and tell her.

She just didn’t expect to be seen through by Ye Chen.

Li Sitong was no longer in a hurry to ask.

Anyway, her Boyfriend would tell her sooner or later.
