Superstition is not advisable

Chen Mo looked at Shen Rou's expression, and the unease in his heart grew stronger. He reached out and slowly picked up the report on the desk.

He slowly turned to the first page and began to read it carefully.

However, as soon as he finished reading the first page, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Overnight last night, Boring Short Videos saw its downloads surge by over a million, and after the course of yesterday, the total download count had already reached over 3 million.

"What… on earth is going on!"

Watching President Chen's almost trembling body, Shen Rou's smile widened.

Boring Short Videos had been established for over ten months. To satisfy the comprehensive educational content of Boring Short Videos, a large number of streamers had been recruited right from the start.

However, because Boring Short Videos lacked promotion, it had very few users. A short video platform without many users meant it had no way to generate profit.

Although later, subject-based livestreams increased the user base somewhat and provided some revenue, the income from subject-based livestreams was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the total expenditure of Boring Short Videos.

It could be said that in its early stages, Boring Short Videos had become a massive money-burning machine.

But now, with the increase in current users for Boring Short Videos, there was a great opportunity to turn losses into profits. How could one not be excited?

When she first saw the contents of this report, her own body had also trembled with excitement.

As the president of the Group, although President Chen didn't show any unusual behavior on the surface and didn't have any harsh requirements for Boring Short Videos,

he must have been deeply worried about the situation of Boring Short Videos deep down; otherwise, why would he be in low spirits from time to time?

"President Chen!"

Seeing that President Chen was still trembling with excitement, Shen Rou called out to him with concern.

She was worried that President Chen would faint from excitement; she had seen such things on the news before.

"Hmm!"

Hearing Shen Rou's call, Chen Mo's body paused slightly, and he gradually stopped trembling. He slowly looked toward Shen Rou, his lips moving slightly.

"You go back to your work."

"Alright, President Chen."

Shen Rou nodded, turned around quickly, and walked toward her office.

Seeing Shen Rou leave, Chen Mo took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the report in his hand.

However, the report was now uncontrollably crumpled from his grip.

At this point, it was only the first page, which merely stated that the download count for Boring Short Videos had increased, but it hadn't explained the reason.

Everything happens for a reason!

He did not believe that Boring Short Videos would suddenly have so many downloads for no reason.

He flipped the report and looked at the contents of the second page.

Time passed slowly, and the office was silent.

Slap!

A sharp sound suddenly rang out.

Chen Mo slammed the report onto the desk hard. He had just finished reading all the content in the report and knew the ins and outs of the matter.

A highly respected agricultural professor helped promote Boring Short Videos, and it even made it to the trending topics. It would be hard for Boring Short Videos not to become popular!

Li Shen!

You bastard, Li Shen!!!

It's bad enough that you wreaked havoc on Corner Pet Park, but now you've even ruined Boring Short Videos for me.

And Wu Yu,

These two are in it together!

According to the content in the documents, it was clearly written that Li Shen had visited Professor Yuan Chenghua for the agricultural section of Boring Short Videos.

If Li Shen hadn't visited Professor Yuan, then Professor Yuan wouldn't have promoted Boring Short Videos.

Thinking that Boring Short Videos now had over 3 million users and that the download count was still constantly increasing, he felt terrible, and his eyes flashed with rage.

If looks could kill, Li Shen would have died countless times already.

This is a short video platform!

In the current internet era, if Boring Short Videos were to explode in popularity, how much revenue would that bring?

Chen Mo slumped powerlessly into his chair.

The report was recorded in great detail, even the number of followers for each livestream section was recorded very thoroughly.

With this in mind, he looked back at the report on the desk, found the detailed interface recording the number of followers for the livestream sections, and it stated:

The agriculture livestream section has 2.3 million followers, the subject-based livestream section has 1.7 million followers, the technology livestream section has 950,000 followers…

Among these, there were instances where one person followed multiple livestream sections.

The agriculture livestream section having 2.3 million followers was not strange, after all, the person promoting it this time was Professor Yuan Chenghua, so it naturally attracted many people interested in agriculture to watch.

He didn't really care about this,

what he cared about most right now was the 1.7 million people following the subject-based livestream section.

Before, when the subject-based livestream section only had 100,000+ people, it already had strong monetization capabilities. Now that the number of followers had reached 1.7 million, the monetization capability must be even stronger!

The document also introduced that previously, in the subject-based livestream section, the average monthly spending capacity per person was around 80.

Now with 1.7 million people, each person spending 80 yuan per month,

then the monthly revenue for the subject-based livestream section would be…

Chen Mo casually grabbed the calculator on the side and quickly began to calculate.

Soon, the final number was displayed on the calculator,

136 million!

Based on the current revenue share, their Boring Short Videos could earn over 80 million.

Looking at the number on the calculator, Chen Mo's hope was instantly shattered.

Over 80 million was enough to directly turn Boring Short Videos from a loss into a profit.

Moreover, 1.7 million was not the final number of followers for the subject-based livestream section. Boring Short Videos was still on the trending topics, and the number of downloads for Boring Short Videos was still constantly increasing.

Although he didn't know the final number of people following the subject-based livestream section, according to the current growth rate, there would be absolutely no problem with the number of followers for the subject-based livestream section reaching 2 million.

Then the monthly revenue for Boring Short Videos would have already exceeded 100 million!

Another company under his banner with revenue exceeding 100 million had appeared.

Chen Mo silently pushed the calculator to the side, and a feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

Counting now, among the companies under his banner, there were already two with monthly revenue exceeding 100 million.

Cangxue Games, Boring Short Videos.

No, there was still one more company, and that was Lanpian Film and Television.

A blockbuster movie, "demon subduing record", directly pushed the box office to over 3 billion. Calculated over a year, the average monthly income also exceeded 100 million.

Thinking about these three companies in his mind, Chen Mo suddenly realized that all three of these companies were in this Mingri Group building!

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo couldn't help but stand up from his chair, slowly walking to the floor-to-ceiling window in the reception room, overlooking most of Jiang City and the winding river in the distance.

Wasn't it said that none of the companies that had previously operated here lasted more than half a year?

How is it that for me, more than 10 months have passed?

There was no sign of not being able to last; on the contrary, the three companies operating here had all turned losses into profits, and their monthly revenue had already exceeded 100 million.

Indeed, superstition is not advisable!
