Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 680 - 473: What Can the Financial Mogul Do?

Cheng Zhu: "Talk, trolls!!!"

...

In this world, perhaps he was the only person who could sell QQ lingerie so boldly and show off across the entire internet without getting restricted.

Normally, content related to QQ on major social media platforms would inevitably be restricted.

This is why many people, as the QQ e-commerce scene became increasingly competitive and platforms imposed various restrictions, opted to start using "private domains."

When Xinhua Daily published this report, it was like throwing a stone that caused a thousand ripples!

Under normal circumstances, articles released by news media wouldn’t usually attract much attention.

But this one hit a societal nerve, so it was a different story.

Also, this looks-obsessed world is actually quite cruel.

If you were just an ordinary, ugly loser selling QQ lingerie, even if official media supported you, everyone would still feel that you oozed a greasy, sleazy, vulgar, lowly vibe...

But if you were super handsome, then there would be people actively "whitewashing" for you.

When people slandered Cheng Zhu, everyone threw this report in their faces.

This made the article published by Xinhua Daily more visible to even more people.

"Just look, see who is praising him!"

"You criticize him, but what have you contributed to society?"

"You’d get beaten to death if you went to Guan Yun!"

"Helping people out of poverty, creating job opportunities, selling globally, and you still want to criticize?"

"I mean, QQ lingerie isn’t even illegal, right? Isn’t this a legitimate business?"

Cheng Zhu glanced at the online public opinion and felt very satisfied.

He knew that once Xinhua Daily released this report, the entire event’s narrative was set, like a hammer that finalizes the shape.

Anyone who dares continue stirring things up online is not likely to end up well!

After a while, Cheng Zhu specifically searched for those marketing accounts that had been viciously slandering him before.

Then he found that some of them had already deleted their Weibo posts.

"Quick response," he thought, with a slight urge to laugh.

"I still preferred it when you barked like dogs before."

But this also indirectly proved something: the previous wave of rhythm was organized and disciplined!

Cheng Zhu didn’t even need to think hard to guess who was pulling the strings.

It was simply those whose cake he had interfered with.

"Like Chen Yue, Shendu Capital..."

But for Cheng Zhu, dealing with them wasn’t even his main purpose, it was just incidental.

The Xinhua Daily report was just his second move.

"The third move doesn’t need to be rushed."

"With the current high heat across the internet, it can probably spread for a while longer, continue to ferment."

"When the heat reaches its peak, I’ll make the third move and complete my setup."

...

...

This year’s May Day holiday, the internet was unusually lively.

Normally during such holidays, the most sensational marketing should have belonged to newly released movies.

Yet all these movies combined were not creating as much buzz as Cheng Zhu alone.

In this mix, there was also Da Mimimi and Huang Jiao Zhu starring in "Silent Separation."

As the whole internet’s heat fermented, Cheng Zhu, a young tycoon already accomplished in his previous life, felt a rare thrill of "I’m going to make a killing this time!"

"Persistent Visit" and "Youu Tea" were just too explosive, and he himself was now too famous!

"Orders from Taobao have reached an unprecedented peak!"

"Although many are impulse purchases and might be returned..."

That was unavoidable.

"Fortunately, our kind of impulse buys are the kind that shouldn’t see too absurd return rates."

"Unless the buyer had absolutely no use for it, and bought it just to show off in places like QQ groups."

Cheng Zhu understood netizens’ behavior too well, as well as those diehard posers in the country.

Another wave of "Persistent Visit" going viral really meant some people placed orders just to "share their orders." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Some might not even have a girlfriend but would ride the trend, follow the hype, and add to "Persistent Visit"’s workload.

But no worries, most of the franchise intentions received by the "Franchise Department" were very solid!

Thanks to Cheng Zhu’s QQ empire not only being restricted to online, this wave could be said to be flourishing in all fronts!

He was really going to earn a huge sum!

"If it were true that unmanned stores could have thousands of stores nationwide, the brand’s promotional effect would literally take off!" Cheng Zhu gained even more confidence about the future.

As a reborn individual, only he knew how terrifying, how enormous the domestic QQ market would become in the future!

Back in ’15, no one paid attention to this segment.

Everyone thought that the conservative Chinese would only make products related to family planning sell well, other things simply couldn’t move, practically demonized and taboo!

"This is a market worth hundreds of billions in the future!" Cheng Zhu thought, feeling exhilarated.

This was why he, a grand reborn person, didn’t plan to rely solely on QQ products to make a quick buck.

He didn’t think this industry wasn’t high-end enough.

And don’t forget, just a few days ago, "Persistent Visit" earphone model 2.0 had already been in pre-heating, and had already started its presale.

May 1st was the official launch day for the earphone model 2.0.

Since QQ toys were even more sensitive than QQ lingerie, the major social media platforms and even the Xinhua Daily’s report were mainly focused on discussing QQ lingerie; there was hardly a word on the earphone model.

For Cheng Zhu, this wasn’t a surprise.

After all, the main reason Xinhua Daily was willing to stand by him was because he had driven the development of the lingerie industry in Guan Yun County.

"Persistent Visit" going viral had led to more and more people getting into the QQ lingerie industry locally.

But those doing QQ toys were few and far between.

Yet, this did not stop the earphone model 2.0 from selling out across the internet!

Cheng Zhu had already had the factory stock up early to avoid affecting the delivery speed later on.

As a result, between revealing selfies and revealing his identity as a QQ tycoon, the buzz exceeded his expectations.

This caused the earphone model 2.0 to be slightly in short supply!

Since the silicone material of the earphone model was better than other toys on the market, the storage box was more creative, and there had been a technical breakthrough in noise reduction, the pricing wasn’t low; in 2015, it was considered a mid-to-high price.

The product profit was huge, certainly lucrative!

Once sales picked up, it would directly make a fortune!

"This is still in the case that the technical team hasn’t made major breakthroughs," Cheng Zhu thought.

For him, relying on the QQ industry to achieve several small goals this year wasn’t a pipe dream.

This, in turn, became his confidence in launching a short video platform!

...

Shen City, Shendu Capital.

Zhao Long sat in his office chair, having just finished an online meeting with Zhou Tao and Chen Yue.

After the meeting, Chen Yue had a meltdown at home, but Zhao Long remained calm and wasn’t annoyed by Zhou Tao dropping the responsibility.

He had also read the report about Cheng Zhu.

Let alone someone at Zhou Tao’s level, even he didn’t dare to touch Cheng Zhu!

Keep in mind, Shendu Capital is one of the top ten venture capitals in the country.

Zhao Long, as a partner of Shendu Capital, was a prominent figure on the rich list, a real financial giant.

But so what?

A provincial report comes out like this, and you still want to play tricks behind the scenes?

Zhao Long’s only relief was, "Fortunately, Cheng Zhu isn’t from Su Province, he’s from Hang City in Zhejiang Province, and it’s also good he made his fortune through the QQ business."

"If he had been listed as a typical post-95 entrepreneur by Su Province... then he really would have had a golden shield!"

That was what worried him most.

"But his Youu Tea is also doing better and better now, and Hang City is Youu Tea’s stronghold."

This top investment powerhouse immediately had a premonition: "The official media in Zhejiang Province, I reckon, will also report on him soon!"

The reason was simple, it’s about talent competition!

Oh ho, your Su Province reports on our promising young man from Zhejiang Province, deeply linking him with your Guan Yun County?

How could that be acceptable!

With Zhao Long’s experience and vision, he could immediately think of this.

"So, Youu Tea will have another chance to shine!" This made Zhao Long even more uneasy.

In his investment layout, Yue Tea was an important part.

But now he slightly regretted it.

Yet when he reviewed it again, the conclusion was: "Under normal circumstances, Yue Tea would definitely have blown up under capital operations!"

It really wasn’t that his direction was wrong, it’s just that his opponent was somewhat monstrous!

In his view, Youu Tea’s recent hot operations had occupied the right time, the right place, and the right people.

"Investing in dramas carries risks, a small hit relies on promotion, a big hit is fate, ’Langya List’ becoming a widely acclaimed blockbuster, that’s the right time."

"Guan Yun County, being one of the poorer counties in Su Province, that’s the right place."

"His looks and the Xinhua Daily’s report, those are the right people."

What to do?!

"If the Xinhua Daily had reported on him a bit earlier, or a bit later, actually the problem wouldn’t have been so thorny."

At this thought, he suddenly made a sound: "Hmm?"

A big player in the investment field definitely has his sharpness.

While Chen Yue just raged, taking it out on the "earphone model" at home, smashing it on the ground again, Zhao Long had an inkling, pointing directly at the truth!

"Could this report have been his reserve move?"

"It’s too coincidental, for us, the timing of this report is too coincidental!"

"And for him, this report came just in time!" Zhao Long thought.

Its appearance was perfectly timed, perfectly blocked the mouths of the trolls.

He felt that it was very likely Cheng Zhu’s preparedness all along!

"Interesting, I haven’t come across such an interesting young man in a long time." Zhao Long nodded slightly, his gaze deep, reversed his thoughts during the review.

This business magnate leaned back in his office chair, thoughtful, tapped his fingers lightly on the office desk a few times, then suddenly sat upright, a trace of astonishment appearing on his usually calm face:

"No, wrong! Him making his fortune from the QQ industry, that was definitely self-revealed!"
