Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Called Out [4th Update, Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

When Lu Xiaobu splurged money, the news of wealthy patrons giving thousands to live streamers made all the major headlines.

”Utterly inhumane!”

”Live streaming, a rising industry is quietly taking off”

”Juechen Live Platform, a gathering place for the wealthy”

...

All the websites were publishing this news.

For a time, Juechen Platform’s popularity was unrivaled.

A massive audience surged into the Juechen Live Platform at the earliest opportunity.

”My God! Five hundred thousand! That’s half a million!”

”This is crazy! Do streamers make that much money? It’s not another stripping streamer, is it?”

”No, I just checked, there are no stripping streamers on the whole platform.”

”I checked too, I really don’t understand why such streamers get such high rewards, I need to see this for myself!”

Even more streamers were crying out, eager to jump ship and enter the embrace of the godly rich patrons.

”My heavens, half a million!”

”I’m going to start streaming, streaming!”

”Dear audience friends, shall we switch platforms, what do you think?”

”Do you all want to go together?”

”...”

You can’t say journalists aren’t smart.

Although they actually knew from the get-go that this so-called godly patron was none other than Juechen Platform’s owner, Lu Xiaobu.

But they just wouldn’t say it.

They waited until the news was at its peak of hype before they seemed to have agreed to publish another piece of news simultaneously.

Of course, this had to do with Liang Lan paying and operating behind the scenes, but, this is not important, cough cough, really not important.

Thus!

”Mystery Revealed, the Godly Patron is Actually Lu Xiaobu”

”Is the boss giving gifts to the employees, handing out benefits?”

”China’s Good Boss, get to know him”

Juechen Platform once again blew up the internet.

The netizens were astounded.

”Damn, it’s Lu Xiaobu!”

”6666! So badass, half a million!”

”Though, Lu Xiaobu giving a half-million reward seems a bit scanty.”

”Exactly, exactly.”

”Tch, as if you guys could bring out half a million to toy with, who are you trying to impress!”

”...”

These two pieces of news utterly thrust Juechen Platform to the pinnacle of attention.

For a time, other live streaming platforms were utterly eclipsed.

Click-through rates for Juechen Live skyrocketed.

Half a million...

One million...

Five million...

Ten million...

Those who didn’t know about live streaming now knew.

Those who didn’t know about Juechen now knew.

Those who always thought streamers must strip got to know a new way of streaming.

Economists cried out—it’s the wolf’s coming, and Lu Xiaobu is utterly looking to revolutionize the way people entertain themselves!

But, it still wasn’t over.

Just during the evening news, the national authorities issued a regulation.

”Given the recent emergence of borderline content and aforementioned gray industries within the live broadcasting field, this is not permissible. Relevant regulations are being drafted, and thorough inspections will soon commence. However, as of now, Juechen Live is doing the best, aligning with civilized and harmonious values, which other live platforms could learn from.”

This time—

It indeed exploded!

What the hell is this?

The state has named names!

Pointing out Juechen as a model for all live stream companies!

Not going to Juechen to watch live streams?

What are you waiting for?!

Explosion, explosions, still explosions!

The entire internet had almost no other news, just all about Juechen Platform.

And the ones especially recruited by Lu Xiaobu himself, Qin Ce, and Li Ying...

Particularly Li Ying who received the half-million tip from Lu Xiaobu...

Was the direct target of the surge.

Countless people flooded into Juechen, and their first choice was Li Ying.

This made Li Ying flabbergasted with the attention, behaving all stunned and cute.

This only attracted even more viewers.

According to later statistics, including the rewards from Lu Xiaobu, Li Ying’s income astonishingly reached a million overnight.

Keep in mind, this refers to income, not the amount of rewards!

This is the money after the platform’s cut.

Thus, the first thing Li Ying did after ending her stream was to rush to a temple overnight to pray for the safety and wellbeing of her Young Master Bu.

She knelt for an entire night!

...

Juechen Live Company.

”Hahaha, Young Master Bu is awesome!” Juechen’s CEO Zhang Tanghe screamed his lungs out standing in front of a window.

”Young Master Bu is awesome!”

The entire company’s staff was also chanting this phrase.

Once upon a time, just a few days ago,

they looked down upon this job and the industry that had to rely on those kinds of transactions to survive.

They only agreed to it reluctantly because of the money!

But today, just now, everything has changed!

Xiaobu had once redefined mobile phones.

And today, he redefined live streaming.

What?

Without beauties, no one watches live streams?

Get lost! Go have a look at Juechen before you say that.

What?

Live streaming is just like a nightclub?

Your mom’s selling herself at a nightclub, go check out the national news first!

That’s a nationally recognized entity!

They could now walk down the street with their heads held high.

...

Countless economists began analyzing this planning event.

They even formed a special association—The Prodigal Research Association.

Don’t think the name is funny.

This was personally named by Tao Aijun, who had clashed with Lu Xiaobu several times before.

He said, only by adhering to the principles of a prodigal can one truly understand the person Lu Xiaobu is!

And after analysis, everyone was astounded!

Analyst A: ”You see, from the current surface phenomena, Lu Xiaobu seems to only be engaged in a contest of wills and money with someone.”

”In the end, Qing Li got burned.”

”All of this seems so natural, perfectly fitting a prodigal’s code of behavior!”

Analyst B: ”But!”

”Remember this but!”

”When we analyzed further, we discovered that the Juechen platform had already set standards of no vulgarity, no eroticism, no malice, even before related regulations were issued!”

”All things related to these, they rejected outright.”

Analyst C: ”They even gave up on the common practice for emerging companies to poach experienced talent.”

”Instead, they chose to scout for new talents!”

”This is incredible!”

Analyst D: ”It’s as if they had the ability to predict the future. Does Lu Xiaobu have some sort of special power?”

These analysts were excited about their discoveries.

They all exclaimed Lu Xiaobu was a genius! A deity.

However, Tao Aijun sighed as he observed the reactions of others: ”Do you know why we are called The Prodigal Research Association?”

Analyst A: ”Isn’t it to analyze from a prodigal’s perspective?”

Tao Aijun sighed again: ”Right, but, I have another meaning, which is, stop dreaming, his success cannot be replicated!”

”Actually, all his standards align with the state’s standards!”

”Take no vulgarity, no eroticism, no malice - aren’t these things that businesses should adhere to anyway?”

”But how many have achieved this?”

”Almost none!”

”Yet Lu Xiaobu did!”

”Why?”

”Because he’s not short on money! The more he squanders, the happier he is!”

”Just tell me, are you convinced?”

All analysts: ”Uh... wait a minute, Professor Tao, let us digest this, our minds are buzzing.”

”You’ll get used to it slowly.”

Tao Aijun left with an experienced look on his face.

Only he knew how much blood and sweat went into his research conclusion.

The most heart-wrenching part was that after he figured it all out, it was completely useless except for showing off in front of these guys!

He had numerous times been so upset over this issue that he slept like a baby—waking up every two hours to cry!

...

However, just when everyone thought that the live streaming industry was doing great and Juechen’s rise was only a matter of time, what was inevitable still arrived!
