An Unexpected Turn
"A shower of flowers and jade, Old Luo rewards streamer Yueyan with one million!"
Chang Kongluo of the Twilight Mansion tapped his finger, and the entire Feiyu Live website started flashing red, with notifications for Yueyan's live stream popping up in various live stream rooms.
When this red flag appears ten times, no one, whether a streamer or a viewer, can resist the urge to react.
Ten consecutive red entries mean a huge reward of ten million.
"Which sucker is so lucky to be making such a big profit?"
"I came here to see what a streamer with millions of followers looks like."
Wow, this streamer is going to make a fortune!
"Where is the tycoon? I am your long-lost son!"
"Which organization is this from? Did they tip a company off?"
Who has such abundant cash flow?
"What exactly did this streamer broadcast that triggered this kind of tipping?"
Feiyu Live's tipping system is extremely crude, even bordering on blatantly encouraging tipping competition.
Before entering a virtuous cycle, the construction of live streaming software was primitive and crude.
This also prompted a very clear reminder regarding tipping.
Within seconds, almost the entire website's users flooded into the 'Yueyan Live Room,' causing an explosive increase in the number of viewers.
After a nearly two-second pause, countless messages began flooding the live stream chat box.
"Has Uncle Changkong really gone mad?"
Zhou Yueyan in the lab was also stunned for a few seconds.
The Chang Kong Lineage is very wealthy, but they also have excellent Lineage upbringing, and Chang Kong Luo is known for his frugal lifestyle.
Zhou Yueyan was surprised that Chang Kongluo had spent ten million yuan on the purchase.
"Something's not right, why are there so many people?"
A line of text appeared in the sky, but it was quickly buried.
Upon entering the twilight mansion, Chang Kongluo, while under house arrest, began to experience a gradual shift in his mindset.
For example: spending money.
In the past, he always kept public accounts and never used his personal account for payments, thus saving every penny for the Lineage.
But after being placed under house arrest in the old mansion, Chang Kongluo felt that saving money was pointless.
Given his current predicament, it seems pointless to leave his funds to those ungrateful descendants.
Even if it were given to an outsider, Chang Kongluo felt it would be better than giving it to his own family.
Moreover, if you take money, you have to do something. Since Zhou Yueyan took his money, she was able to let him talk to Zhou Xin and have some positive discussions with him.
Chang Kongluo felt that spending money to buy a communication bridge was not expensive, after all, he still had tens of thousands of idle funds in his account, and it would be a waste of so many years of saving and thrift if he didn't spend some of them.
Although the website took half of the revenue, Chang Kongluo didn't care at all. After all, he only had so much entertainment after being placed under house arrest, so this could be considered appropriate support for live streaming software.
The only thing that annoyed Chang Kongluo was the sudden influx of too many viewers, which quickly drowned out his speech and prevented him from having a chance to chat with Zhou Yueyan.
"Little girl, invite Old Zhou over for a chat sometime!"
Chang Kongluo typed out another line of text.
Looking at himself at the top of the leaderboard and then at his own comments written in red, he felt that Zhou Yueyan could at least understand what he meant.
But his message disappeared instantly.
Looking at the rows of text scrolling across the live stream screen, Chang Kongluo felt a headache coming on.
With such a flood of subtitles, even machines can't handle it.
Looking at the number of 287,369 people in the live stream, he was amazed for the first time at how many people this live stream network had gathered in such a short time.
Moreover, this number is still growing.
After the explosive influx, some accounts that had been disconnected started to slowly rejoin, and some people were attracted by the information being spread, thus entering to watch.
"Wang Li had been wanting to create a big scandal involving money laundering, but he never expected that someone would actually help him out beforehand!"
After the live streaming industry entered a period of slow growth, Wang Li had been trying to create a big news story, such as transferring huge sums of money between his own pocket and his own.
Such instantaneous massive donations can generate countless topics and attract news attention.
The downside of this method is that it easily attracts regulatory attention and can lead to tax revenue verification issues. The more they swipe, the more business tax they will have to pay.
Moreover, having insiders do this kind of thing can easily cause trouble, while having outsiders do it can easily turn fake donations into real donations.
After all, Wang Li's friends aren't exactly respectable, so if they verbally agree, it's highly likely they'll withdraw the huge reward themselves once it's distributed.
Achieving a perfect buzz around a topic is extremely difficult, but this problem doesn't exist when people outside the company are posting about it.
The money that Chang Kongluo received was real money, and Zhou Yueyan's live stream room was not staffed by insiders.
Moreover, Zhou Yueyan is a veteran live streamer, having streamed various content for years.
Although Zhou Yueyan didn't attract many viewers, her live stream records were indeed stored.
Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat surprised to see the live stream screen explode with activity.
He hadn't expected that Chang Kongluo, once he made a move, would be so decisive.
In an era where winning a million-dollar prize requires displaying banners, a one-time donation of tens of millions is undoubtedly explosive news.
Chang Kongluo's identity is also a symbol.
Even though Chang Kongluo has declined, it still Scarlet Alliance State.
If there were indeed high-ranking officials conducting investigations through administrative means, they should have stopped once they reached Chang Kongluo.
Who is this old Luo?
Only after Zhang Xuezhou turned off his microphone did Zhang Manqian ask any questions.
"The former Chairman of the Air Force!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the donation account displayed at the top of Yueyan's live stream, and then pointed towards the imperial city area of Western Capital.
If he had any doubts about the 'Old Luo' account before, after such a large donation was made, Zhang Xuezhou no longer had any doubts about the owner of 'Old Luo'.
"His retirement life is truly vibrant and fulfilling!"
Zhang Manqian exclaimed in surprise.
If she weren't a stakeholder in Feiyu Live, Zhang Manqian would be so envious of these donations that she would question the meaning of life.
This isn't a donation of tens or hundreds of thousands, but rather tens of millions.
In today's society, unless one has climbed to a higher social class, this amount of money is enough to change one's life and even ensure a lifetime of financial security.
Zhang Manqian only wanted to chat with Zhou Yueyan about something, but she didn't expect the live stream to turn out like this.
Zhang Xuezhou's research on the gray liquid was not handled perfectly, and there will be subsequent disputes and shirking of responsibility, but Chang Kongluo's donation was absolutely perfect.
Chang Kongluo's identity and the amount of money involved are perfect, which will cause quite a stir and bring untold promotional benefits.
"But this isn't all good news," Zhang Xuezhou explained before adding, "In the past, we made money secretly, but now we'll most likely have to put it in the open, and there will inevitably be a lot of copycat products!"
Wang Li's encouragement of gamblers to livestream underground casinos involved large sums of money, but this private livestreaming did not trigger any uproar among the general public.
Unlike Zhou Yueyan's public live stream, the massive influx of users instantly spreads the news far and wide.
The sheer scale of this sum would shock ordinary people, setting a new low for earning money. Even scions of the Aristocratic Clan would be hesitant to sit down, and Zuo Teng would be drooling with envy.
The reason for this is not due to Zhou Yueyan's hard work, but rather that the other party acquired this fortune in a very short time, much faster than the output of real industries, and even far exceeding the net operating income of major sequencing platforms.
This creates a dreamlike illusion, as if such tips could happen to you simply by streaming.
This also involves the platform's revenue, which can give some software developers the illusion that as long as they create live streaming software, they will have huge profits, or even sustainable revenue.
Some cautious businessmen may conduct thorough market research before making a move, but there will inevitably be some adventurous individuals who choose to rush in directly, seeking the potential profits from early, unbridled pioneering.
Before it even has a stable and continuous source of revenue, Feiyu Live is likely to face the competitive impact of the rapid growth of various live streaming apps.
