Kapitel 151: Chapter 151 Outlaws Are More Genuine Than You
After the legal team left, Chu Yuxuan searched for "Little Ze Sauce" on his phone. Although the buzz around the influencer was nowhere near what it used to be, the recent videos still had nearly a million views each.
Upon checking, Chu Yuxuan saw that the influencer's acting was quite impressive. She portrayed herself as an innocent and clueless young girl, effectively flipping the script from perpetrator to victim. What was most infuriating was that one of her videos emphasized "those who are clear have nothing to hide," suggesting that her experiences might not be false, but she just didn't dare to speak out.
It was clear that she was indirectly targeting Chu Yuxuan, implying that his background was so powerful that she had to endure in silence. There were also many foolish sycophants supporting her, claiming the "dark side of society," and even some shouting for crowdfunding to compensate her...
Chu Yuxuan was genuinely furious. To him, shouldn't someone who made a mistake pay the appropriate price? Even now, she persisted in playing the victim and using ambiguous language online. This was not just shameless; it was blatant disregard for consequences!
This spoiled brat had always flaunted himself as someone deserving of hell. Opportunities had been given but would not be extended a second time. Evil people deserved to be dealt with by other evil people.
Chu Yuxuan sighed, took a screenshot, and sent it to the Fourth Brother: "Take the Fifth Brother and send her away on a boat."
A short while later, Chu Yuxuan called Xiaowei and asked, "What's the situation at the influencer base?"
Xiaowei, who was somewhat shy and more at ease in front of Zhao Yanan but awkward in front of Chu Yuxuan, stood upright and said, "After the incident last time, General Zhao merged the influencer base into the company. It is now overseen by the administrative, public relations, and legal departments. The administrative director is temporarily acting as the head of the base, fully responsible for it. The base is now operating smoothly, and we have secured several live-streaming sales collaborations."
Chu Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, "Call the administrative director here."
Soon, the administrative director arrived at the office. "Mr. Chu, you wanted to see me?"
Chu Yuxuan put on his coat and said, "Let's go to the base."
On the way to the influencer base, the administrative director chattered incessantly about his achievements. "Recently, thanks to the joint efforts and bold reforms of our three departments, we've eliminated some influencers with poor records. We also provide daily training, and the base is now completely revamped. Several smart influencers with large fan bases have already earned the company a significant amount of money…"
Chu Yuxuan did not rush to respond to his bragging. Upon arriving at the base, he found everyone working in an orderly and highly positive environment. He finally complimented, "Not bad, well done. You've all worked hard recently."
The administrative director smiled and repeatedly said it was no trouble, continuing to show Chu Yuxuan around the base. Naturally, when showing a leader around, the best spots must be highlighted. After introducing several standard influencers, the administrative director took Chu Yuxuan to the live-streaming room of a female influencer with nine million followers.
Since she was live-streaming, Chu Yuxuan did not enter to avoid interrupting but stood quietly at the door.
The female streamer, noticing her boss at the door, became even more energetic in her sales pitch. "This phone, originally priced at five thousand nine hundred ninety-nine! Today I'm giving it to you for only eight hundred eighty-eight!"
The two assistants beside her acted flustered, urgently trying to dissuade her. "No! At this price, we'll lose a lot of money!"
The streamer responded, "I'm doing this to thank my family for their support! Don't waste time; I have plenty of money. Quickly put up the link!" The assistants, seeing no other option, tearfully posted the link.
Chu Yuxuan stifled a laugh and quietly asked the administrative director, "Can this exaggerated pitch really sell? Only a fool would believe it. Your training seems lacking."
"Mr. Chu, you probably don't watch live streams often," the administrative director said with a mysterious smile. "This influencer sold forty thousand units of this phone within an hour this morning!"
"Really?" Chu Yuxuan was genuinely shocked. "You're saying you sold a six thousand yuan item for eight hundred, and still had forty thousand people falling for it?"
The administrative director proudly replied, "It's true, Mr. Chu. This phone actually costs a bit over six hundred, but with the hype in the live stream, we make six million in less than half an hour. The company gets half of that! To be honest, I didn't realize how profitable influencers could be before. No wonder even well-known figures like Pan Changjiang are joining in. It's really astonishing."
Chu Yuxuan's face darkened. He thought, "This is a lot easier than robbery!"
When Chu Yuxuan initially started the influencer base project, he was just curious. He had traveled through many countries, and none had a flourishing influencer culture like China. Now, looking at this… what kind of nonsense culture is this? What flourishing? It's just blatant and audacious fraud!
Seeing that his boss's expression had soured, the administrative director quickly dropped his smile and cautiously asked, "Mr. Chu, do you have any concerns?"
Chu Yuxuan's voice grew colder, "Is live-stream sales always done this way?"
The administrative director pointed to another live-streaming room selling cosmetics and explained, "Yes. For example, that room is selling a lipstick marked at eighty-nine yuan, which was previously twenty-nine. The method is the same as with the phones. We have contracts with merchants to raise prices, so their marked prices are always higher than ours. Essentially, it's a deceptive contract. Consumers end up believing our prices, stimulating consumption. It's a win-win for both the merchants and us."
"This is outright fraud!" Chu Yuxuan's tone was ice-cold. "Aren't the retail investors you've deceived being driven to the edge?"
The administrative director was at a loss for words.
Merchants only care about making money; why should they be so righteous? Zhao Yanan, for instance, didn't understand influencer operations and handed the whole base over to him, only needing to review the weekly profit and loss reports, without meddling further.
He probably didn't know that despite being the company owner, Chu Yuxuan was actually not good at business.
Chu Yuxuan was furious. "Sucking consumers' blood in every possible way and making them think you're doing them a favor. You're so depraved you're harming your own parents! Even outlaws are more genuine than you!"
