Taking a taxi.
Bai Ye went to the Fengfeng Express main station to mail the packaged Dihuanglian to Old Chinese Physician Ye in Shuzhou.
Special valuable items, no squeezing or collisions.
Bai Ye stated the delivery requirements.
Understood! We recommend using the special express shipping method.
Special, dedicated, fast, it can arrive the same day!
Okay! How much is it?
1800 for within 2.5 kilograms, an additional 500 yuan per kilogram for excess.
Alright.
Leaving the Fengfeng Express main store, Bai Ye suddenly felt a bit shortchanged.
He thought he should have used the cash-on-delivery method, which would have saved 1800!
He rode his bicycle to the bar. Save when you should, spend when you must!
It's time to get a new phone and computer.
Bai Ye looked at his phone's navigation and walked towards a nearby commercial plaza.
As for the live stream, he scheduled it for the evening.
Firstly, the flame magic he had mastered performed best at night. Secondly, as a talent streamer, it wasn't suitable for him to stream for too long, as it would cause aesthetic fatigue for the audience and reduce effectiveness.
Walking on the street with a mask on, he occasionally received surprised and admiring glances from girls.
However, they only saw him as a handsome young man; no one recognized him as Ye, the streamer who was currently topping the trending searches across all major platforms and had taken the internet by storm.
At this moment, on the internet, it wasn't just ordinary netizens searching for and paying attention to him. Guilds, management teams, or companies of major streaming platforms, and even the platforms themselves, had started to notice Ye.
Various parties were trying to find all information about Ye.
He's a suddenly popular little magic streamer, all because he created a brand new flame magic! His techniques and props were flawless, and the magic effect was stunning.
Moreover, through our careful analysis, we discovered that he also knows martial arts, truly combat-effective martial arts! His ability to subdue that giant stray husky is the best proof!
His live stream content is very unique and highlights are abundant, making it almost impossible to imitate! Therefore, we predict his popularity will continue for a long time. He possesses immense commercial value.
Many people must be after him now; we need to act quickly!
Within half a day, Bai Ye's fame soared, making him a hot commodity in the streaming world, with major guilds and companies flocking to him.
Among them, the most influential major websites and platforms had also begun to pay attention to Bai Ye.
Bilibili Headquarters.
The manager of the signing department, along with several senior consultants, held a secret meeting.
The manager got straight to the point: "We at Bilibili are currently facing a bottleneck. Our daily active users have been hovering between 80 and 90 million, making it difficult to break 100 million! Now, our contract with Ye, this emerging wild streamer, has the potential to bring a large influx of new users to our platform!!"
"So, I've called you here to discuss what tier of streamer contract we should offer him to poach him from Douyin!"
YY Live Headquarters.
The Star Scout Department (the department for discovering and cultivating streamers) also saw its manager gather the most professional and discerning elite scouts for a meeting.
"Although YY Live leads its peers in the game streaming industry, our shortcomings are also very obvious. In other entertainment and lifestyle areas, we are far behind Bilibili, let alone Douyin."
"The main reason is that we lack high-popularity, high-quality lifestyle and entertainment streamers like Bilibili and Douyin, which is also related to our cultivation mechanism. However, the emergence of one person might help us fill this gap!"
"Ye, the wild streamer from Douyin! I believe everyone has reviewed the information I provided. So, let's discuss what kind of offer we should make to lure him to YY Live!"
Shenzhen, Douyin Company Headquarters.
Agent Department.
A tall senior agent named Shi Wanqiu, holding a tablet, hurried into the minister's office.
"Minister Lu, the data department has compiled all of Ye's live stream data."
The middle-aged minister with black-rimmed glasses nodded.
"Good, bring it here for me to see."
The usually calm and composed Minister Lu's expression immediately turned astonished as he glanced at Ye's live stream data.
Last night, the platform only provided Ye's live stream room with 500,000 viewer recommendations.
Out of these 500,000 viewers, 495,000 stayed in the live stream room to watch, resulting in an actual viewer retention rate of 99%!
What does this mean?
For ordinary streamers, a retention rate of 20% to 30% is already considered significant, making them well-known streamers with nearly ten million fans.
A retention rate of 30% to 50% indicates top-tier streamers with tens of millions of fans.
A retention rate exceeding 50% is rare, with occasional top-tier streamers achieving it once or twice.
That would be considered legendary!
But now, someone has actually achieved 99%!
Furthermore, the conversion rate of viewers into fans during the live stream reached a staggering 95%.
In other words, almost everyone who watched his stream became his fan.
Combined with the traffic driven by his short videos, his fan count has now reached over 18.7 million!
With every minute that passed, his fan count increased by tens of thousands!
Even when he wasn't live streaming and his account was offline!
Some time ago, a major celebrity joined Douyin. With the strong cooperation between their company and Douyin, they set an astonishing record of gaining over 30 million fans in two days.
Now, this streamer Ye has the potential to break that record, and that too without any company or guild support, relying solely on netizens, fans, and Douyin's basic recommendation mechanism!
Looking at the gift revenue, Minister Lu's eyes widened again, his pupils constricting.
The total gift revenue was 2.11 million!
This, excluding the 50 carnations sent by Xiao Dai Mei and about 50 carnations from merchants bidding on Dihuanglian, totaling 300,000 in gifts, the rest were from genuine viewers!
There were no e-commerce, guilds, or teams artificially inflating the data behind the scenes!
This ability to attract money is terrifying.
Don't be fooled by the fact that big internet celebrities' live streams, PKs, and sound waves often reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions. After deducting e-commerce and guild support, a gift revenue of even several hundred thousand is considered very strong!
He's simply a monster!
Minister Lu took a deep breath. As the manager of the entire agent department, he understood the value of each streamer better than anyone.
He looked up and asked,
"Xiao Qiu, what tier of treatment do you think streamer Ye should be given?"
He oversees the entire agent department and generally doesn't directly manage streamer signings.
But Ye's current popularity is too high, and his ability is too outstanding!
He must be treated exceptionally.
Shi Wanqiu said excitedly, "Minister Lu, you've seen Ye's terrifying popularity. Although he rose from a small streamer, there's no denying that his current popularity rivals, and even surpasses, our current top-tier streamers!"
"Therefore, we must offer him the highest tier of treatment!"
"Highest tier treatment? A top-tier signing?"
Minister Lu suddenly frowned. "According to the information, Ye's popularity will likely continue for a considerable period. If we give him a top-tier signing now, and he grows even further, what conditions can we offer him in future collaborations?"
Shi Wanqiu said anxiously, "Minister, it's not just us who are watching him! Bilibili and YY are both eyeing him covetously!"
"As you can see, Ye is also dominating the trending searches on Bilibili and Weibo and is very popular. Our top-tier signing has an advantage for those guilds or companies, but it doesn't offer much advantage against platforms like Bilibili and YY!"
"Our biggest advantage right now is that although he's not signed, his account and initial fanbase are on our platform! So, under equal conditions, he will definitely choose us!"
Shi Wanqiu was very anxious, wishing she could finalize the decision for Minister Lu.
However, she didn't have the authority for a top-tier signing; her maximum authorization was for a Gold Streamer signing.
She had noticed Ye by chance last night and personally witnessed how Ye, with one move, conjured fire with his bare hands, attracted massive traffic by roasting oysters, got throttled, then watched him snatch over a hundred thousand viewers from Xiao Dai Mei, breaking through the platform's throttling, and finally, subdued Gou Dan to become the number one streamer on Douyin that night!
Her excitement then was no less than that of the viewers.
She was even more excited, knowing that an opportunity had arrived; this streamer must be secured!
If she could closely align herself with Ye, her position within the company would be greatly enhanced!
Therefore, she was more anxious than anyone.
"Minister?"
Minister Lu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Proceed as you suggested!"
"Thank you, Minister!"
Shi Wanqiu was overjoyed.
"Have you communicated with him?"
"Not yet. I believe that without presenting sufficient sincerity to communicate with such a master, it will not only be ineffective but also likely to cause resentment!"
Minister Lu nodded.
Modu.
Near a commercial plaza, Bai Ye was waiting at a traffic light.
Beside him, two little girls in white and blue school uniforms, looking like elementary school students, were holding lollipops that were larger than their tender, pink faces, and they kept looking up at Bai Ye curiously.
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Keep looking, and I'll snatch your lollipops!"
Hee hee~
The two little girls smiled and made funny faces at Bai Ye.
They were porcelain-skinned, mischievous, and cute.
A few seconds later, the light turned green.
Bai Ye extended his hand and said, "Come, uncle will take you across."
The two little girls glanced at each other, felt that Bai Ye wasn't a bad person, and happily reached out to grab Bai Ye.
"Big brother, even though you're wearing a mask, you look very young! Why do you call yourself uncle?"
"Yeah! I feel like big brother is even younger than my brother. My brother is in high school!"
"You speak so nicely!"
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled, leading them across the street.
But just as they were halfway across, the sound of car engines revving urgently and loudly came from the center of the intersection.
A white sedan, scraping and bumping, sparks flying, was charging towards them at an extremely high speed.
And not far behind it, the piercing sound of police sirens could be heard; clearly, they were pursuing a fugitive.
Something's happened!!
Run!
Dangerous!!
Ahhh!!!
Pedestrians crossing the street screamed and fled.
The white sedan reached Bai Ye and the two little girls in the blink of an eye.
A man in black inside the car, with a fierce expression, showed no intention of stopping. He floored the accelerator and drove directly towards Bai Ye and the two little girls.
Ahhh!!!!!
Big brother!!!
The two little girls screamed in terror.
