Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 242 Past and Present Lives_5

Chapter 309: Chapter 242 Past and Present Lives_5 Chapter 309: Chapter 242 Past and Present Lives_5 If it were her past life, Yiyi was very knowledgeable about tea and had studied it thoroughly.

So, when drinking tea with guests at the table, she could keep up with the conversation at Cheng Zhu’s side.

Starting a company, you inevitably need to give gifts to some people.

Tea is a common choice for gifts, and Cheng Zhu entrusted her with such tasks with confidence.

“Only right now, she probably doesn’t understand these things,” he thought to himself.

The group engaged in idle chat for about ten minutes before getting to the main topic.

Cheng Zhu took Ancient Mountain Culture quite seriously, as the company had several Weibo influencers with tens of millions of followers.

And these accounts had highly active fan bases.

Unlike some accounts that, while having a large number of followers, have passed their peak engagement long ago and have heavily inflated numbers.

Under normal circumstances, advertising quotes for these hot Weibo accounts could reach hundreds of thousands!

Even some more ordinary bloggers could quote several thousand for advertising.

And it depends on the content and mode of the advertisement, if it goes the route of more natural soft advertising that involves content creation, then the price can be even higher, potentially doubling.

If he remembered correctly, during these years when Weibo was at its zenith, some well-known bloggers could bring in annual revenues of tens of millions, and those at the very top could even surpass a hundred million!

And this was only in 2014!

Cheng Zhu, having arranged a meeting with Zhu Youwei, was clearly targeting those influencers with high engagement.

Just the ones he was interested in would have combined promotion costs easily exceeding one million!

That was no small amount of money.

At first, Zhu Youwei thought Cheng Zhu wanted to open another trendy shop and was seeking his help for publicity.

But unexpectedly, it was for a proprietary game his company developed?

This made Zhu Youwei somewhat less enthusiastic.

A game developed by college students?

His company had taken on numerous gaming promotion deals and knew a bit about the industry.

He hadn’t heard of any university teams in Hang City that had produced a hit game.

Zhu Youwei felt that for the influencer accounts represented by his company, there should be some self-imposed standards, and they should care about their reputation to some extent–not just grab any crappy money thrown their way.

Of course, if the project was really bad and they insisted on working together, well… the price would have to be higher!

“Which influencers does Little Cheng want to collaborate with?” Zhu Youwei asked with some curiosity.

Cheng Zhu directly named seven popular bloggers.

Among them, two were the mainstays of Ancient Mountain Culture, with tens of millions of followers!

This made Zhu Youwei realize that this was not a small deal.

As their conversation deepened, Cheng Zhu explained that three accounts would make videos playing the game, while the other four were more suitable for writing sponsored posts.

This meant that it wasn’t just a simple, straightforward hard-sell advertisement; the price would be much higher!

“I didn’t expect it to be a big deal,” Zhu Youwei thought, surprised.

He began to mentally calculate the total cost.

Later, he said with a smile, “Afterward, Little Cheng, add me on Weibo. I’ll recommend someone to you, and he will discuss the specific pricing with you.”

Though he didn’t understand why a university student would want to spend so much on promoting a game, it was the type of deal he could reluctantly accept as long as the price was right!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu’s next words made him frown.

“Mr. Zhu, I hope that our cooperation this time represents a win-win relationship.”

He didn’t put it too bluntly, but Zhu Youwei could still read between the lines.

“Does Little Cheng have anything else to add?” he asked, tracing circles on the rim of his cup with a finger, suggesting that Cheng Zhu should speak his mind.

Cheng Zhu glanced at Zhang Qiqi and Meng Yiyi, giving them a suggestive look.

Sure enough, the next moment, Meng Yiyi said, “Sister, the environment outside looks very nice, can you help me take a few pictures?”

Zhang Qiqi gave her a surprised look but then turned to Cheng Zhu and slightly nodded her head in agreement.

Cheng Zhu watched the two women leave and couldn’t help but find it amusing: “At this stage, Yiyi’s skills are not as good as they would be later.”

“If it were her from the past life, even if she understood my intentions, she wouldn’t outdo Zhang Qiqi.”

After the two left, the atmosphere in the private room actually became slightly subdued.

Zhu Youwei lifted his cup to drink some tea, silent.

He was beginning to think that this young man before him must be full of fanciful ideas!

I’m considering charging you more for this kind of project, and you’re still trying to pull a fast one on me!

Cheng Zhu looked directly at him and said, “Mr. Zhu, I won’t beat around the bush. Through this collaboration, I hope that your accounts will ultimately gain substantial traffic through the unique content of our game, while my side benefits from the initial promotion.”

“And not a purely commercial partnership.”

He was pretty much saying outright that he didn’t want to pay.

Zhu Youwei’s expression grew unpleasant.

You invite me out and then pull this?

College boys nowadays are really something!

He looked up at Cheng Zhu, ready to scoff, but then Cheng Zhu calmly unlocked his phone and opened his Weibo account.

“Mr. Zhu, take a look at these.”

Cheng Zhu opened the official Weibo account of Persistent Visit, then calmly placed his phone on the tea table and pushed it toward Zhu Youwei.
