This criticism will continue to fester under the influence of the algorithm, and the platform would love for the comments section to become even more heated.
But the Su Wei didn't need this kind of controversial attention.
For a hunter account with millions of followers, the core assets are professionalism and credibility.
Once a label that misleads the public is attached, all business partners will reassess the risks.
A response is necessary, but not the next debate.
Su Wei put down his coffee cup and his fingers landed on the keyboard.
He opened the backend of his main account and clicked "Post Update".
A text editing box pops up, and the cursor blinks.
He revised and edited the text, ultimately leaving only three sentences.
1. The blizzard's leading edge is expected to arrive within fifteen minutes. With core body temperature continuing to drop, waiting for professional rescue is tantamount to waiting to die.
2. The entire process was recorded with a GoPro. Any licensed emergency physician is welcome to review the procedure frame by frame to ensure its compliance.
3. Please stay away from unmarked, unmasked snow areas. This is the second and final warning.
There was no explanation, no self-defense, no emotion.
The first sentence states the facts and establishes the reason for resetting the scene.
The second sentence, an open invitation, shifts the burden of proof back to the original party.
The third sentence deviates from the controversy, bringing the narrative back to the public issue of safety education.
Su Wei checked the "Pin to Top" box and clicked "Publish".
The dynamic status display shows that it has been published and pinned to the top.
He closed the comments section; there was no need to read the flood of replies.
The purpose of this statement is not to convince skeptics, but to reassure business partners.
This proves that he knows what he is doing and will not be led by public opinion.
Switching the mouse back to the main page, Su Wei opened the private message box.
The red dots are still densely packed.
At the top is a long message from Catherine Moran, Business Director of Polaris Brand.
"Hello Su Wei. The explosive growth of crevasse rescue videos has far exceeded our initial expectations."
"After internal evaluation, the brand believes your current commercial value significantly exceeds the original contract framework. We hope to renegotiate the unit price for future cooperation, with the preliminary proposal being a 30% increase from the current price."
The message was quite long, followed by public relations rhetoric about brand image and such.
Su Wei didn't finish reading; he typed four words in the reply box.
Let's talk again next time.
send.
This is not arrogance.
The account has just surpassed one million followers and is in a period of rapid expansion in commercial value; any offer is an undervaluation.
Once this wave of traffic has been fully absorbed, we can discuss it again in a month. The base price can then be increased by at least 20%.
Su Wei closed his private inbox and opened his memo app.
He scrolled down to the bottom to view the income statement.
After the account surpassed one million views, the monthly income from ad revenue sharing across both platforms alone is estimated to exceed two hundred thousand US dollars.
In addition to signed contracts and ongoing collaborations, the numbers are quite substantial.
Su Wei created a new row in the "Source of Monthly Income" column.
The title is, "Monetizing Influence."
Starting today, this term officially replaces "prey sales" as the largest segment of the revenue structure.
They sell their prey to earn a one-time price difference.
Sell your influence, earn compound interest.
He typed a line of bold numbers at the bottom of the memo: Current total assets: US$2.45 million (excluding the value of unclaimed mineral assets).
He looked at the small print in parentheses; that was the real trump card.
Su Wei closed the memo and switched to the backend of the "Life in the Northern Frontier Daily Life" account.
The number of followers was 683,000, an increase of 130,000 in three days.
The skiing video has a stable 4.2 million views, but the traffic mainly comes from a single clip.
A three-second clip of Cotton Candy peeking out of a temperature-controlled chamber and yawning went viral as a GIF.
This particular scene has even more unique views than the entire skiing video.
Su Wei lowered his head.
Cotton Candy had finished breakfast and was taking a nap on his snow boots.
Its white chin rested on the shoe, and it squinted its eyes.
Your business value is probably higher than mine.
Su Wei gently touched its belly with his foot.
The Cotton Candy rolled over, revealing its pink belly, and its tail wrapped around his ankle.
In the back-end private message inbox, the brands of the three commercial orders all sent their intention to increase their orders.
The brand of the thermal pads even posted a draft of a six-month exclusivity agreement, with the cooperation fee increasing from 40,000 to 75,000.
Su Wei did not reply, but simply took a screenshot and saved it to an encrypted folder.
These quotes will take time to arrive.
Only by waiting for the potential energy of the two lines to reach its peak before making a move can the premium be maximized.
My phone vibrated on the table.
Su Wei picked up her phone, the screen lit up, and a new message popped up in the notification bar.
It was sent by UPS.
"Your package (tracking number 1Z9R7W820345267891) has been delivered to the UPS pickup point in Kodiak Town. Sender: Polaris. Product: High-performance polar rain jacket set ×2, accessory sample ×1. Please collect your package within seven business days using the pickup code."
Su Wei's thumb stopped on the screen.
The equipment for Polaris has arrived.
Cotton Candy rolled over, her tail brushing against his instep.
The ashes in the fireplace were cold, and the living room temperature was only fourteen degrees Celsius.
Su Wei stared at the bolded product name on his phone screen: High-Performance Polar Rain Suit Set x2.
Chapter 224 Top-Tier Modifications Arrive
The glass door of the UPS self-pickup point was covered with an antifreeze film. Su Wei pushed the door open and a gust of cold wind swept over his shoulder.
Behind the counter was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, wearing a standard brown UPS work jacket, who was repeatedly wiping the lens of the barcode scanner.
Su Wei gave the pickup code.
The bearded man tapped twice on the keyboard, then turned and walked into the back shelf area.
The metal cart rolled across the concrete floor, producing a dull thud.
Thirty seconds later, a hard cardboard box bearing the Polaris brand logo was pushed out.
The cardboard box wasn't large, but it was well-packaged, with moisture-proof cushioning strips wrapped around all six sides.
" Su Wei -Yang, right?"
The bearded man handed over the electronic receipt, but his fingers didn't loosen their grip.
He turned his head and his gaze lingered on Su Wei's face for two seconds.
I've seen your videos on TikTok.
The bearded man's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"That guy at Pyramid Mountain, setting a child's bones under an ice crevasse at minus 30 degrees Celsius! My wife was so excited when she saw it, she said you were..."
Su Wei reached out and took the receipt board, then traced a line on the touchscreen with his thumb.
Signature complete.
"Thank you. It's just what I should do."
He pushed the receipt board back to the counter, smiling and nodding.
He picked up the cardboard box and turned to walk towards the glass door.
The bearded man opened his mouth, but the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.
He watched the tall figure disappear into the snowy light outside the door, the receipt board still raised in mid-air.
