Accomplices

Song Fengying considered many possible final forms of Feiyu Live's development.

But there is no form she can control.

When a company grows to a certain size, it becomes something she can no longer control, and no matter how Song Fengying tries to break the deadlock, it lacks any possibility.

The alliance shipping company represented by Li Yingbo is a behemoth, and Feiyu Live is just an insignificant worm in comparison.

Despite Feiyu Live's seemingly abundant cash flow, the total monthly salary paid out by Alliance Shipping is nearly four billion yuan.

Feiyu Live only managed to carve out a place for itself online by seizing an opportunity.

Song Fengying wanted to gradually accumulate and develop more, but she found that time would not wait for her forever, and it was difficult for her to be good at everything.

Li Yingbo made the suggestion today, and preparations will begin tomorrow.

With the talent pool in Western Capital City, building a software platform for sale might only take a few days, or even a few hours.

It's easy to create a shell software like this; the difficulty lies in getting enough merchants to join.

This also involves issues such as exposure, purchase rate, cargo shipping, and after-sales service.

Compared to the former, the latter is the real challenge.

But once these people make a decision, things will most likely succeed.

This is a scene that Song Fengying remembers seeing; she couldn't stop it, and it's also an inevitable trend in the continuous development of the internet.

Song Fengying could do was try to connect with them as much as possible and get involved at the right time.

"Hello, Professor Wang, this is Zhang Xuezhou. We're currently working on a software for selling goods. Professor Li Yingbo is willing to invest ten million for a one percent initial stake. You... you want to invest too, right?"

"Hello, Professor Song, this is Xuezhou. We're planning to develop a software. Professor Li Yingbo has invested ten million for a one percent stake, and Professor Wang Haoran also holds a one percent stake... Additional investment may be made later depending on the situation. If you want more stakes, that's difficult. You should know that Professor Li is also recruiting people, and our headcount is likely to exceed fifty. There simply aren't enough shares to go around... Fifty-one percent is from the committee!"

"Hey, Brother Ren, we're planning to... you can pay whatever you want, we absolutely have to get you on board, right?"

"Hey, Professor Qin, chirp..."

Not only Song Fengying was watching Zhang Xuezhou make contact, but Li Yingbo was also watching Zhang Xuezhou make contact.

Zhang Xuezhou quickly rallied more than ten people to invest in a company and software that did not exist at the moment. Seeing that twelve percent of the shares had already been distributed, Li Yingbo also began to recruit people with a serious expression.

Zhang Xuezhou recruited people who were influential, but not particularly influential.

Li Yingbo's people involved various ranks of committee members, and the personnel were spread evenly, covering almost all the current batch of committee members in Western Capital City.

His rhetoric was almost identical to Zhang Xuezhou's; both started by mentioning that someone had already invested and asked if he wanted to participate.

This rhetoric quickly built an alliance of willing participants.

After nearly forty communications had been completed, Li Yingbo looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then at Song Fengying, and finally extended an invitation to Zhang Xuezhou.

"This is an equity group. I will label it as capital and technology investment for you, so that you can easily connect with others," Li Yingbo said.

"There's no need to differentiate," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "If the people you recruit don't like us, we can withdraw and not participate!"

"No, I'll explain to them one by one!"

Although everyone seemed to be present, Li Yingbo realized that this matter really couldn't be accomplished without the Zhang Household.

At least initially, this shopping platform needs Zhang Household's Feiyu Live to drive traffic. As for whether customers will ultimately choose the platform or the streamer, that depends on the future development of online shopping.

The distribution of profits is not important at the moment; what matters is how to guide the development of shopping platforms and ultimately break the monopoly of provinces and cities on products.

This inevitably involves many problems that Li Yingbo, a complete novice in the world of the internet, is unable to handle.

As for the other committee members he tried to win over, they were equally clueless. These people didn't even know what Li Yingbo wanted to do; they were merely there to support him and cover his losses.

"We've secured nearly 500 million in cash flow. How long can this last?"

Li Yingbo added Zhang Xuezhou to the communication group, and after thinking for a few seconds, asked a question.

"I don't know either," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly. "It depends on how quickly you improve the quality of the alliance's shipping services, and also on whether we can sell the goods normally. If we don't sell a large quantity of products, this money can keep us going."

"If you want to sell goods, you need to have products with sufficient advantages or unique features; otherwise, customers won't buy them," Song Fengying interjected from the other end of the live stream. "You can't just focus on selling products from Western Capital City; you need to include products with advantages from all over the country to create a more complete sales platform."

"We don't have that many merchants from all over the country to join," Li Yingbo said with a headache. "Few people even know about this kind of software platform. We can only prioritize companies under our group of members."

"This software platform relies on the Sequence Committee, which should be able to issue mandatory approvals to register and report the products of various manufacturers," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Mandatory reporting won't be complied with by many, not just in Western Capital City where people are hiding it, but in other places as well," Li Yingbo said in a low voice. "This is a difficult matter; we can only try and see if we can push it through!"

"This might spark some conflict and won't necessarily be supported by everyone, but if someone sells their goods to other provinces and cities for profit, it could potentially trigger a wave of similar reporting. After all, everyone has a profit-seeking mentality, and who knows, the major Lineage businesses in those provinces and cities might even want their products sold in the areas controlled by Western Capital City."

A cryptic look flashed across Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

The video of "What a huge chicken" has sparked considerable discussion. Song Fengying's ability to learn about the term "Qin Meng Beast" from relevant data indicates that the information has already spread among the Sequence Holder, inevitably creating potential chaos.

However, Zhang Xuezhou realized that shopping platforms might also forcefully intervene, potentially leading to a prolonged and chaotic situation.

This is exactly what Zhang Xuezhou wanted.

As long as conflicts and disputes Western Capital City and the local areas continue, and new focal points keep emerging, Zhang Xuezhou is certain that it will be difficult for anyone to turn their attention back to the Sinkhole No. 2.

Feiyu Live's traffic generation isn't the main focus, nor is the shopping platform the primary concern. The real focus is that the Zhang Household may use live streaming to guide increasingly controversial public opinion.

This public opinion will dilute much of the attention, giving them ample time to advance their sequence and realm techniques without attracting attention, and also allowing them to avoid the associated impact of the No. 1 Sinkhole.

Zhang Xuezhou even realized that he had begun to infiltrate the list of people he was wary of.

Invited by Li Yingbo, Zhang Xuezhou also joined the communication group called "Alliance No. 9" and became an accomplice of those who had previously investigated the Zhang Household.
