Chapter 2325 - 2325: The Traffic Marketing Phenomenon

Yes, this was exactly the traffic-marketing campaign spearheaded by Liu Zhizhong.

The female streamer "Chi Chi" showed off her hometown in the video she posted after going online, showed off the hard-core infrastructure, and even more showed off the fat pigs you could eat for free.

Damn…

The traffic just exploded straight to the top!

Within 24 hours, she got over a million likes, her followers shot straight toward ten million. Tell me that's not scary?

Fans from all over the country were already geared up; on the set date, some people literally traveled thousands of miles to rush over.

A bunch of clout-chasing influencers and streamers also rode the wave, that heat was pulled up so high it was just ridiculous.

Chi Chi really believed in the strength of Liu Zhizhong and Yu Haiping's company, she'd signed the contract long ago, and before the free pig-and-organs soup feast kicked off, she livestreamed the road-widening progress every day, and every day released a pig — a pig that had been slaughtered, adding one after another. Since it was free to eat, the pull just kept getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, Liu Zhizhong and his team even planned for the City Culture and Tourism Bureau to join in: enough pigs for everyone, soup until you're full, traffic handled by the traffic police, public security handled by patrols, a safe and comfy New Year's welcome event, that down-to-earth.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong understood very clearly that there were two key words here: first, free; second, future son-in-law! Hahaha…

For the huge crowd of ordinary folks active online who don't dare to spend, these two keywords were just way too tempting.

So, Chi Chi blew up. Her traffic value cracked one hundred million in less than a week, no problem, hehe…

By the day the pig-and-organs soup feast officially started, just the livestream tips Chi Chi pulled in had passed five million, and in the product window on her backend, the hometown cured pork, cured sausages, cured ribs she endorsed were basically in "warehouse bursting" mode, orders easily broke one hundred million.

The cured meats from Yinghe County were already a real specialty.

For the feast, a total of 20 pigs were slaughtered. Nine were from Chi Chi's family, and the remaining 11: the Cultural and Tourism Bureau of Dongnan City sponsored six, and Yinghe County's Culture and Tourism sponsored five. All set!

Nearly ten thousand people showed up, from all over the country. Cars lined up in a giant dragon, all the roads stretched nearly a hundred miles. Scary or not?

Just that crowd of nearly ten thousand bought a ton of rustic New Year goods on site, they bought a lot of stuff, and spending was suddenly yanked up.

Over just three days before and after, Chi Chi's account alone generated close to one billion in consumption. Not to mention all the surrounding streamers who got dragged up by the wave, they were all cashing in hard, real money, earning till their pots and bowls were overflowing.

These days, regular folks don't dare spend, it's just that you haven't hit their emotional needs. As long as you hit that, their spending power is still downright terrifying, hahaha…

After Chi Chi, Dongnan City and even all over the country saw a wave of copycat free pig-and-organs soup feasts. Of course, some were organized pretty well, some were just laughable. Sigh… the "wind口" (sweet spot) isn't something everyone can own; once the wind passes, even getting a mouthful of hot shit is hard!

There really was a small influencer up in the Northern regions who said he was coming down to the Southern regions to invite the local left-behind grandpas and grannies to eat free New Year pig soup.

And what happened? He bought the pigs, slaughtered them locally, and the locals not only divvied up the meat, they also demanded venue fees. If he didn't pay, they wouldn't let him leave. Some people even wanted to beat him up, and calling the police didn't seem to solve anything. It turned into a live-action story of human hearts falling apart, sigh~~~

Clearly, on this free-eating-pigs traffic sweet spot, Liu Zhizhong and his people were raking it in, since they'd created a traffic legend.

Chi Chi, as the female influencer signed by Liu Zhizhong and Yu Haiping, also made a killing herself, and brought in over two hundred million in revenue for the company. Truly a win-win!

As for Liu Zhizhong's abilities—my god—Yu Haiping, Wang Chenglong, Xiong Wenwu, and Zhang Qidong all saw him as a living legend.

Even Zhang Xiaoyang, of course, knew that Liu Zhizhong had exploded again, made Big Money again, and he was practically going crazy with jealousy. This kid, he really can stir things up, sigh…

As for Wang Chenglong, during this wild-fishing-for-a-living event, the company's ads were played in a very clever way, and they really landed quite a few big projects!

He was already very happy. The pig-and-organs soup feast let him earn a big chunk on top, so Young Master Wang got even happier.

In his joy, Wang Chenglong drove straight to Dongnan City, and specifically asked Liu Zhizhong out for a meal.

For this meal, Liu Zhizhong invited Wang Chenglong to his home, cooked personally, and laid out several country-style local dishes. The two of them ate and drank together, enjoying themselves like crazy.

For this potential future brother-in-law candidate, Wang Chenglong was a million times satisfied!

Politically, he had the ability to build up official achievements, and with quite a lot of influence.

In business, he had the ability to create traffic sweet spots; his money-making ability was basically on par with a printing press.

In daily life—heh—this guy could both appear in a grand hall and handle a kitchen, hahaha…

Anyway, Wang Chenglong was almost unable to hold it in; he was already thinking about proposing to his sister ahead of time!

It's just that his father had given orders, so he was still holding back for now!

As the two were drinking happily, Wang Chenglong said in a rather meaningful tone: "Zhizhong, these waves of operations of yours are downright god-tier. But I heard that not long ago, this 'god' got extorted for a big chunk of money in Dongnan City, huh?"

Liu Zhizhong of course immediately got it, and knew exactly what Wang Chenglong was talking about.

After all, this circle isn't that small, but not that big either. It's totally normal for certain things to reach Wang Chenglong's ears.

But Liu Zhizhong just smiled and said, "Brother Long, how can you call that extortion? Reality is what it is; if you don't do as the locals do, a lot of things are hard to handle, hehe…"

Wang Chenglong shook his head. "You really do put up with a lot, huh! Such a big thing, how come you didn't tell me? You know, in the money you donated, nominally, there's also a share with my name on it! I don't dare brag about other things, but when it comes to putting the old Zhang family in Dongnan in their place, my Wang Family still has ways. I, Wang Chenglong, could've settled it for you on my own!"

Liu Zhizhong waved his hand. "Thanks for the love, Brother Long. I really don't think it's necessary. These things, compared to the future, are just small stuff, not worth troubling you! I trust your ability, and I trust the Wang Family's power, but for just over a hundred million, to make the Wang Family and the Zhang Family enemies, to let these two big clans tear their faces and have a falling out, that would be my sin. A real man can bend and stretch, right?"

Wang Chenglong looked at him with great appreciation, gave him a big thumbs-up, and kept nodding. "Liu Zhizhong, oh Liu Zhizhong, among the younger generation, your psychological resilience, your scope and capacity—really, that's extremely rare. If you just keep developing like this, properly developing, your future is bright!"

"As long as it's not bullying me to the point of no return, I'm already content." Liu Zhizhong said with a touch of calm humor, smiling.

"Hahahaha…"

Wang Chenglong burst out laughing, then said seriously, "Relax, my little bro. With the Old Wang Family around, if ordinary people want to bully you, they'll have to weigh themselves carefully, hmph hmph…"
