Chapter 192: Bring It On
[ Spicy food consumption card ]
[ One-time card ]
[ Description: You can treat up to seven people to a meal. Using this card, the amount of food eaten by everyone, multiplied by the spicy coefficient, will be your final reward ]
[ Spicy coefficient = level of spiciness x quantity of food consumed ]
[ Note 1: level of spiciness is divided into 10 levels ]
[ Note 2: spicy seasoning is measured in units of “100G”]
[ Note 3: there’s no restrictions on ingredients and spiciness seasoning and they can be matched however you want ]
The card had been sitting in Wang Yan’s collection for a long time because Wang Yan had not thought of how to use it to the best of its value.
In fact, if he wanted, he could slowly choose seven ordinary big eaters who could eat spicy food, and then have them challenge level 6 or 7 chili peppers with Alba White Truffles. After eating, they would be sent to the hospital…
In short, if he wanted, he could find a way to use it more profitably than he was doing right now.
However, Wang Yan’s vison was bigger than before and he was more and more focused on the overall situation, so he would not think only of the value of the card itself.
Would he consider the cost of time?
Of course, he would.
Between 10 million yuan at this time and 50 million a year later, of course, the former was more valuable.
Moreover, with this activity, Wangting Entertainment would be able to make a big splash in the market and push Ling Ya and the other three to a higher level.
Most importantly, this way of playing… was so much fun!
The bullet comments showed how excited the viewers were.
The screen was full of comments urging the streamers, “Eat, eat, eat!”
Occasionally, there were a few different words, but they were not very cute.
“Take two more, take two more!”
“Eat while it’s hot, hurry up. Even dogs know to eat shit while it’s Hot!”
“Ling Ya, I’m warning you, if you take one bite of garlic, you won’t be my goddess anymore!”
“Bros, I don’t know why, but I actually feel a sense of excitement that makes me feel very ashamed…”
“Don’t feel ashamed. Don’t worry, you’re not alone!”
Then, the screen was covered with the words “You’re not alone”…
When Miko, Ling Ya, and the others finally stuffed the roasted beef stuffed with at least 10 pieces of garlic into their mouths, everyone felt great as they watched the streamers’ tortured expressions
Brother Fugui was relieved.
[ You have used the spicy food consumption card. The current level of spiciness of the spicy seasoning is 1. The final consumption will be calculated after the meal. ]
Alright, he’d just wait for the money to come in!
You guys can do it, eat more garlic!
Ppboy garlic’s spiciness was only at the lowest level 1, but it wasn’t a big deal. Its biggest characteristic was that its taste was mild and sweet, not hurting the stomach.
If it wasn’t spicy enough , then let’s make up for it with quantity!
Wang Yan hoped the seven streamers could eat two kilograms of garlic. It wasn’t too much, right!
Two kilograms was 20 units in the system’s calculation, a full 20 times of the critical hit!
Wang Yan only regretted that he had asked the Kerry Hotel to import as much as garlic as they could.
If he had asked for only five kilograms of garlic, the cost per kilogram would have been lowered to 90,000 yuan!
Sigh, he had thought the garlic was just a bonus, but it turned out to be as important as the main ingredient.
But I really had no choice. Who would have thought that the garlic that was originally more than 100 yuan per kilogram would become so costly when ordered in short notice?
This load of garlic was truly the royalty of the garlic family in terms of prices…
As Young Master Wang amused himself with these thoughts, the competition suddenly turned fierce.
The cause could be traced back to three days ago.
Everyone had been half-jokingly provoking each other to get people’s attention to the event. Many fans also became serious with their words.
Today’s rules were obviously more beneficial to Da Gang than to Miko and Ling Ya.
In the previous competition, Da Gang was in the fourth place, and Miko was the champion.
This time, as soon as the competition started, Da Gang ate two pieces of meat and at least half a head of garlic.
Da Gang’s fans were elated, and Miko’s fans were unhappy.
Some of their fans ran around in the four live broadcast rooms, dropping all kinds of comments. Da Gang’s fans started to brag, and Miko’s fans started to go mad.
Rich fans started to give out rewards, and fans without money started to mock them.
It was just the beginning, but it looked like the result had come out.
The live broadcast room was actually a place for netizens to have fun. It was usually chaotic, but today it was especially chaotic.
Following that, rockets began to fly in the live broadcast rooms.
Wang Yan didn’t watch the streamer’s individual live broadcast rooms. He basically stayed in the main room.
He watched the competition’s popularity rise from 2 million to 3 million. As the rockets continued to fly, it slowly rose to 4.5 million…
F*ck!
Did he create a new record? !
Wang Yunxi came back, looking very excited; he kept waving his fists under the table.
“Not yet, but it’s very likely!”
Wang Yan asked casually, “What was the current popularity record?”
Wang Yunxi shook his head. “I’m not sure. One event reached 20,000,000, but that was a special case. The platform paid money for part of its popularity, you know. Today’s event is a normal occasion, so it’s very difficult to compare.”
Wang Yan understood what he meant and didn’t ask any more questions.
Needless to say, it was impossible for the platform to spend much money to boost today’s event.
The record holder was a streamer working under an official guild of the platform. Wangting Entertainment wasn’t independent. They would be lucky if the platform didn’t make things difficult for them.
At this moment, as the main room secured the number one popularity on the front page, the power of the room name became more and more obvious.
“1,500 yuan per bite” was a very tempting room name.
It was straightforward and simple, but it was enough to arouse the curiosity of most people.
At least 80% of the traffic would enter out of curiosity once they saw it.
It was impossible to keep all of them, but as long as only a small part of them remained, it was enough.
As the popularity became higher, gradually, some streamers got impatient and brought their fans to check on the broadcast room.
The rockets kept exploding, and the fans kept moving from one room to another to watch the show. The streamers might as well lead a team to check on their own rooms. At the very least, they could keep their fans in their own live broadcast room, right?
The competition was getting fiercer which attracted more people to watch it. This was the special charm of special events.
Not only did the popularity of the main room soar, the popularity in Ling Ya’s and her friends’ personal live broadcast rooms were also soaring and soon broke through the two million mark.
The other three streamers were far behind them.
At this moment, in the Meat-Loving Rabbit’s live broadcast room, after a short animation, a super administrator account with the ID “I am WXZ” entered.
Before the fans in the room could say hello, WXZ left a comment “Go, Rabbit Er” and stated to fire up the rockets.
The tip was three digits.
WXZ’s super administrator account was very impressive on
Douyu. In the blink of an eye, a large number of unaffiliated viewers rushed into Rabbit’s live stream room.
Perhaps it was a little tiring to send the rockets one buy one, so when it reached 80 + , WXZ paused and sent out 50 at a time and sent out seven or eight waves of 50 rockets.
Then, the screen was filled with exclamations.
It’s coming!
Wang Yan glanced at Liu Yuanfang, who was suddenly excited. Then, he leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.
WXZ had a hidden agenda, that was for sure.
With his familiarity with Douyu and his usual style, it was impossible for him to fire a rocket one by one and until it was 80 + . In the past, he usually tipped 10 or 20 rockets in one go.
What he had done just now was a kind of declaration.
In the blink of an eye, 400 + rockets were fired, which was equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan.
Moreover, the tip did not stop.
Wang Yunxi was so angry that his face turned livid. “WXZ is determined to use our event to promote Rabbit! Yan, what should we do?”
“Don’t worry.”
Wang Yan was still calm and composed, as if he did not care at all.
Wang Yunxi gradually calmed down, and a sense of shame suddenly rose in his heart.
Damn it, he had been out in society for so many years, but in the end, he wasn’t even as calm as a freshman in college!
Could it be that there really were people who were born for big occasions?
TSK TSK, swindling really was a good way to train people…
Calming down, Xi Zi muttered to himself as if he was comforting himself, “Promotion can only produce small celebrities. No matter how hard he tries to divert the flow of viewers, whether or not he can keep the fans is still uncertain. I don’t believe that Ling Ya and Miko will lose to her!”
Fortunately, you didn’t mention Da Gang and Adai…
Wang Yan glanced at Xi Zi with a strange expression. He suddenly asked, “How many people know that WXZ is going to do a live broadcast platform? Does Douyu know it?”
Wang Yunxi was stunned. “WXZ didn’t contact me directly. It was Liu Yuanfang who delivered the message. The message was vague. He only asked if I was interested in working with WXZ and doing something big…
“So there seems that a lot of people know about it, but only indirectly. Yan, do you think Douyu will make a move against WXZ?”
Wang Yan shook his head. “I don’t think so. But I think that as long as they know about his plans, Douyu will not give WXZ such high treatment.”
Wang Yunxi was still very worried. “But that’s WXZ! Even if there is no special treatment, five million yuan of deposit is enough to crush us…”
“Xi Zi, what are you thinking about?”
Wang Yan could not help but laugh. “Now that his own platform is about to go online, will he throw 5 million to his rival? What’s the point of doing that?”
As he got more familiar with the workings of the society, Wang Yan understood more about money.
There were only three reasons to spend large amounts of money.
First, he spent it just for fun.
Second, he thought he could make money from it.
Third, he just didn’t want to admit defeat.
The third scenario usually appeared on the gambling table or when one got mad.
Looking at WXZ’s past experiences, one would find that this person was actually very smart. When he attacked people, he often seemed impulsive, but he had never attacked people he could not afford to offend. He was especially clear-headed and knew what he was doing.
Therefore, for WXZ who was building his own business, the chance of his getting impulsive due to anger was very low.
Spending money just for fun…
He might have done it in the past, but it was clearly not the case today.
So it could only be the second reason — he felt that he could make money.
“Today’s matter is very simple. If he feels that he will lose out if this continues, then he will stop.”
Wang Yan smiled very confidently.
“But… what if he feels that he won’t lose out?”
Wang Yunxi was still a little nervous because in his mind, the son of the richest guy should be able to easily take out eight or ten million and throw it into the water without batting an eye.
Wang Yan spread his hands and smiled. “Then we admit defeat! Anyway, what he’s doing promotes the event. The seven streamers are all eating from the same pit. It’s only natural that whoever is more capable will attract more fans.”
“Alright… Then when do we go on stage?”
Wang Yunxi finally stopped worrying and turned to the most practical question.
“Wait a little longer.”
Young Master Wang suddenly revealed a wicked smile. If Liu Li and her freinds were present, they would surely found the smile very familiar.
“Let the fans hold the fort for a while. I want to estimate WXZ’s budget first…”
“Can you do that by watching?” Wang Yunxi widened his eyes in surprise.
Wang Yan smiled mysteriously and lowered his head.
In the live broadcast rooms, the tycoons had already got on stage.
Although Rabbit had a tycoon at her back, Ling Ya and her three friends had so many fans that they were not afraid at all.
They had already more than 100,000 tips, so it was easy to surpass WXZ’s 250,000.
Then came the lengthy tug-of-war.
WXZ did not want to end the battle so soon with a crushing victory. The most important thing today was not to win, but to get enough benefits.
Heartened by money and encouragement from the boss, Rabbit began to eat meat and garlic miserably.
In fact, this girl could eat spicy food; previously, she just couldn’t bear the idea of eating garlic in public.
Now that she was going all out, she actually caught up to the others very quickly.
It was impossible to eat all the time in the three-hour long competition. Even though A5 beef was roasted, it was still too oily. No one could eat so much in one go.
The main work of the streamers was to communicate with their fans.
They took a break, ate a few mouthfuls, and waited for the next wave.
After two hours of tug-of-war, everyone — the streamers, the audience, and the tycoons — were all exhausted.
No one could bear the constant excitement.
Everyone was tired and needed some time to slowly recover and accumulate the strength to make the final dash.
At this moment, Wang Yan called Xi Zi over and asked, “How much is the refund if I deposit three million yuan?”
“25% …”
Wang Yunxi subconsciously replied before raising his head in surprise. “Wait a minute! Where did you get so much money?!”
Wang Yan casually said, “I talked someone to invest the money. Don’t worry. In today’s situation, I won’t lose anything.”
Actually, the money was the remaining 2 million in Brother Dapeng’s bank card, as well as the breathing wages of more than 1.4 million.
“You definitely won’t lose anything. I’m just afraid…”
Wang Yunxi looked worried.
“Yan, other than getting those loans, what else did you do?!”
Wang Yan turned him around. “Go get Manager Yi. We’ll talk about it later. Let’s crush WXZ today!”
There was nothing much to say about the money deposit process. It was just a phone call.
25% refund meant for 3,000,000 RMB of deposit, he’d get 3,750,000 shark fins.
Under normal circumstances, the platform and the guild would keep 55% , and only 1,875,000 yuan would be returned.
However, it didn’t matter. For today’s event, Douyu had agreed to give 70% of the rewards to Wangting’s streamers.
After all, from organizing to implementing, Wangting did all the work.
So, 2,625,000 yuan would be returned.
Then there was the total revenue of Wangting this month. If it exceeded 10 million, 5% of the total would be returned. Today’s 3,750,000 shark fin meant he’d get back 187,500 yuan.
It meant he didn’t lose money at all.
There was one last thing.
Today, Wangting would get 50% of all the cash tip in the main live broadcast room.
Wangting would also get 30% of the shark fin accumulated in the Rabbit, Erhei and Good-for-nothing’s live broadcast rooms!
In other words, if WXZ spent 1 million yuan, Wang Yan would earn 300,000 yuan; if he spent 2 million, Wang Yan would earn 600,000!
In the past, Wang Yan had always heard of that famous saying, but he had never really understood it.
Today, he finally had the opportunity to use it. Now that you offer yourself on a platter for me to beat, I’d let you down if I don’t beat you hard!
