The number of clicks skyrocketed, and the number of fans also increased, changing every minute and every second, just like riding a rocket.
Andrew realized that this was a great opportunity. As long as he handled it properly, he could become a super V of ShowMe like Superman and Batman.
Andrew just did it when he thought of it. He simply put the movie aside and devoted himself to creation. He spent one night making seven "Black Coffins" in different styles.
Sci-fi style, oriental style, curious style, magical style and indescribable girlish style, etc., to meet the needs of different groups of people.
After uploading these videos to his space, Andrew fell asleep. When he woke up, there were many missed calls on his phone. Lisa alone called him seven times.
How annoying!
He muttered a few words impatiently and called his girlfriend. As soon as the call was connected, he heard a burst of hysterical questioning.
Andrew moved the phone further away, waited for the questioning to end, and asked with a yawn,
"What's up?"
"You're famous, you know? Hurry up and log in, hurry up!"
After that, the phone was hung up. Andrew scratched his head, looking puzzled. He got out of bed reluctantly, opened his laptop and logged into his account. When he saw the number of fans, his eyes widened.
Holy shit! What the hell!
He suspected that he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes hard. After confirming that it was five numbers instead of four, he was completely stunned.
Just after a nap, I gained 30,000 fans!
I quickly opened the space and was stunned again when I saw the number of views of the seven videos. Four of the seven videos were on the recommendation page, and the girlish-style "Black People Carrying Coffins" was the most explosive, with 500,000 clicks and more than 1,000 comments, leaving the other videos far behind.
Andrew grabbed his hair, totally unable to understand why, among the seven videos, the girlish style took the least time to make and could be said to be shoddy and of the lowest quality, was the most popular.
Why is this happening?
He lowered his head in thought when a text message caught his attention.
A funeral home from the southern suburbs of the metropolitan area left a message, hoping to insert an advertisement in Andrew's video to promote the newly launched "Black Coffin Bearers" service.
Andrew was stunned for a moment and typed,
"Are you kidding me?"
The other party quickly responded: "We are willing to pay $3,000 for advertising. If you are interested, we can meet to discuss it."
There is a row of text description attached below the information: the funeral home's address, phone number, owner's name, etc. It can be seen that the other party is very serious and not joking.
The funeral home actually asked me to do advertising!
Ten thousand alpaca galloped past, and Andrew was speechless. After thinking about it, he forwarded the message to his girlfriend, who gave a positive answer without hesitation.
The reason is simple: you spent an entire night creating these seven videos, so why can't you insert ads?
What's wrong with the funeral home? Everyone goes to the funeral home in their lifetime!
In fact, ShowMe's growing user base has attracted the attention of many businesses, especially sports brands and electronic brands that mainly target young consumers.
Contemporary young people are different from those in the past. They spend much more time on computers than on TV or newspapers every day. Traditional media will eventually decline, and the Internet is the future choice. If you want to capture the hearts of young people, you must make a splash on the Internet.
The emergence of ShowMe just fills this gap.
Before Andrew, many big Vs had received advertising invitations, even superheroes like Batman were no exception. He received dozens of advertising text messages just two days after going online.
Bruce Wayne couldn't understand why those companies would ask him to shoot commercials and even meet for talks. Are you here to make fun of me?
I am the heir of the Wayne Group and a super-rich man with an annual income of over 10 billion. How could I be short of your advertising fee?
Alfred sighed:
"Master Wayne,
We can't delay any longer. Whether analyzing it from a personal or business perspective, acquiring ShowMe is an excellent choice. It's an internet company with great potential, and no one knows what its future will be like."
"What did Blair say?"
Alfred shook his head and said, "I've thought about it carefully, and it's best if the Wayne family handles this matter."
"Buy ShowMe under my name?"
"No, in the name of the Wayne family."
Bruce was stunned, thinking.
Alfred continued, "After Batman's account went online, ShowMe became very quiet. It's unlike their usual style. I'm worried they might be in trouble."
"You mean..."
Alfred sighed, "The owner of ShowMe is only seventeen. Who can guarantee that a seventeen-year-old boy won't change his stance when threatened by gangsters?"
Bruce understood, stood up and said,
"Excuse me, Alfred, please give me some advice. I want to take over that company as soon as possible."
"Understood, Master Wayne."
…
After the new version was launched, Luke has been busy, either fixing bugs or maintaining the server. The server rented from Sequoia Group can no longer keep up with the pace of ShowMe and must be replaced with a new one.
Replacing the host requires money. Luke is so poor that he can't even pay this month's salary, so how can he have money to do anything else?
Financing is imperative!
On Wednesday morning, Robert Downs pushed open the door to Luke's office.
"Boss, here is the information I compiled about the investors, please take a look."
Luke put down his keyboard, took the document, and glanced through it.
Robert added, "After the launch of version 2.0, ShowMe has received excellent market feedback. The banks and investment firms that had lost contact with us due to the video incident have now reconnected with us. However, due to rumors, most of them are still on the sidelines."
"Rumor?"
Luke looked up. "What gossip?"
"Some people say ShowMe's accounts are fake."
Luke scoffed, "Someone actually believes this."
"Some say it, and some believe it."
Luke closed the file and said indifferently, "It seems we don't have much choice."
Robert shook his head.
"Actually, there are quite a few. Chase Bank, Central Bank, Quinn Corporation, Sequoia Group, and even the Wayne Family have expressed their intention to invest and are able to meet the 35 million funding requirement."
Luke wasn't surprised by the Wayne family's appearance. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Which company do you think is suitable?"
"Chase and Quinn can be excluded."
"reason!"
"Both companies are investment structures. They have money but no influence. They can't play any role in promoting ShowMe's future development. In comparison, Sequoia Group and the Wayne family are different. The former is a leader in the internet industry and can comprehensively improve ShowMe. The latter, needless to say, is the world's largest financial group, and everyone knows it."
Luke laughed. "You explained four of the five options, but you left out the central bank. Why?"
"Because the price they offered was too high."
oh!
Luke became interested. "How exaggerated?"
Robert held up three fingers. "Three hundred million dollars, 30% of the shares!"
Luke took a breath and said in surprise,
"You remember correctly?"
Robert took out the contract and put it on the table.
"This is the sample contract they provided."
Luke opened the file and after reading it, he became very excited.
"Three hundred million US dollars!"
"Robert, you gave me such a big surprise. I don't know how to thank you enough."
"This is what I should do."
Robert said with a big smile.
