Chapter 683 Caused a Sensation Again!

On the high-speed train back to Jiangzhou, Fang Qiu was so bored that he logged into Weibo to have a look. Then he happened to see the answer of the influencer in Zhihu.

“Damn, so much money?”

Seeing the estimation of at least 500 million, Fang Qiu was also startled.

He really did not know that these ten advertising slots would be so valuable.

After this surprise, Fang Qiu shook his head secretly. “If I had known it would be so easy to make money, I would not have spent so much effort in making those swords. Why don’t I just make a video?”

Although it was easy to make money now, he was worried because the money was a little too much. Originally, he just wanted to take this opportunity to make a little money, but he did not expect that this move would actually make a fortune!

What’s more, it was a little difficult to take the money in front of so many people.

He was a Chinese Medicine doctor.

It was reasonable to make a little money, but once he went too far, it would be easy for others to add insult to injury when he was in trouble. The most important thing was that it would easily arouse the jealousy of others.

Fang Qiu found it problematic. “Is it appropriate to earn so much money as a Chinese medicine practitioner?”

However, just as he was having a headache, the world outside was still turbulent. The matter of the meridian video continued to brew.

It was not only about the advertising slots bringing him money. People also did not expect this because of the Zhihu influencer’s reply being so subjective.

Even Fang Qiu did not know exactly what was going on.

Things also became competitive among the video website companies!

In this era where the Internet was spread all over the world, the competition between video websites was incredibly fierce. In order to attract more audience and gain value, all the major video websites were striving hard. Any intellectual property variety shows, TV series, movies and online dramas would compete fiercely the moment they appeared.

Undoubtedly, compared with those intellectual property shows, the meridian CG animation video that Fang Qiu made this time was definitely one of the best among them!

As soon as Qicheng company released the news on behalf of Fang Qiu, all the major video websites were also looking forward to it. They all wanted to get the exclusive playing rights for the meridian CG animation video.

Once they got the exclusive playing rights, they could make it into VIP videos which could only be watched by the VIP users of their websites. It would really be a large sum of profit!

Even if they could not get the exclusive rights, they also had to get the right to play because the video website could also place advertisements.

Every video website had its own commercial price and the price of each second’s advertisement was paid once a year according to the click rate. For example, if one watched the 60 seconds of advertisement at the beginning of the video, 15 seconds of CPM would be 30 yuan and 60 seconds would 120 yuan. A video with a Click-through Rate of at least 3 billion could earn 360 million just by selling the advertisement spots!

Besides, as long as they could get the CG animation, the extra views on the website would be at least billions, even if they did not show it exclusively. This Click-through Rate of billions would bring in a huge sum of money.

Not only that, but the annual Click-through Rate on the video platform would also be greatly increased and the value of the video platform would also rise. The commercial trade for the next year would inevitably bring more benefits!

Taking so many factors into account, they found that this meridian CG animation made up a huge slice of the pie. They had to fight for it quickly!

For a moment, all the people of major online video websites called Yao Jie one after another, hoping to gain some advantages.

On this matter, Yao Jie did not dare to be careless at all. No matter which video website called, he would invite them to attend the fair the day after tomorrow, so as not to offend anyone.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of video websites had received invitations, but none of them could get the advantage.

Back in Jianghang, Fang Qiu found a hotel and sat down to rest.

As for those problems, he had not sorted them out yet. But he did not have the money yet, so there was nothing to worry about. He would think about it after he received the money.

After a careful calculation, he found that he had not rested for four days. He must have a good rest today.

While Fang Qiu was resting, other people began to get busy.

In Jiangnan, the team formed by Yao Jie began to receive calls from major companies. Meanwhile, he also sent a special team to the venue to make all kinds of arrangements. They hurried to prepare the equipment, flowers, plants, settings and so on.

Yang Ningyuan’s phone also kept ringing.

Many leaders of major companies and large groups in the country called him. Even the people he did not even dare to think about before, began to call him.

In Huaxia, although Yang Ningyuan was one of the 50 richest people, there were still numerous people who were more wealthy and powerful than him.

In the beginning, Yang Ningyuan did not expect that such big shots that he could not even get in touch with, would call him. But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Qiu did create a remarkable thing this time.

Coupled with the uproar on Weibo, it could be said that all the people in the country were paying attention to this matter.

It could indeed attract some of the big shots, but this kind of temptation was far from enough for those big shots to call Yang Ningyuan personally.

Yang Ningyuan also knew that.

The reason why these big shots were so eager to get these advertising slots was because they just wanted to take advantage of Fang Qiu’s power.

In Huaxia, no matter how big a company was, it would have to pay a huge price if it wanted to develop its business worldwide. Sometimes, they would not be able to do it even if they had the money.

Under these circumstances, many large companies had tried all kinds of methods to improve their international popularity.

But now Fang Qiu had just shocked the world at the medical conference. The appearance of meridians made Fang Qiu the most conspicuous person in the world at present.

Of course, they focused their attention on Fang Qiu because of meridians!

What was Fang Qiu going to do now?

It was a meridian CG animation video!

That was to say, the purpose of these big shots was actually to develop their own company brand while banking on Fang Qiu’s reputation and the popularity of the meridian video all over the world, so that they could take a step forward in the process of entering the world market. It was even possible that they could rise to the top with this move!

Yang Ningyuan was a smart man.

He knew that this would happen so he did not dare to ask Fang Qiu for an advertising slot for his company directly. Instead, he asked him to save a spot for him because the spot was of no use to him. The Zhiyuan Group was far from reaching the level of entering the world market. For him, this was equivalent to a connection and a real favor to those big shots!

However, after receiving calls from those people, Yang Ningyuan suddenly regretted that he had not asked for a few more slots from Fang Qiu at that time. From the current situation, it seemed that one slot was not enough for him to divide.

He had no choice.

Yang Ningyuan could only continue to deal with those big shots, which was bittersweet for him.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

However, a piece of gossip, which was obviously driven by someone behind the scenes, appeared the next day.

“Didn’t Fang Qiu want to promote Chinese Medicine? These ten advertising slots should be given to pharmaceutical companies or Chinese Medicine merchants!”

“Why didn’t Fang Qiu take advantage of this opportunity to promote traditional Chinese medicine? He should give these ten advertising slots to major pharmaceutical companies for free, so as to promote the spirit of traditional Chinese medicine!”

“That’s right. Obviously, instead of promoting Chinese Medicine, he just wants to make money by attracting investments!”

As soon as the news spread, all those who envied and disliked Fang Qiu gathered and followed these kinds of comments right away.

“Yes, Fang Qiu always does something wicked by pretending to be kind. He looks bright and positive, but inside he is greedy!”

“What is this called? This is called being ‘selfish’!”

“There’s always an evil mind hidden behind a gentlemanly manner.”

Such rumors were quickly spread all over the Internet.

Seeing these comments, Fang Qiu’s fans could not stand it!

They instantly began to fight back.

“Give it to the pharmaceutical companies? It was found that pesticide residues and heavy metals from those companies’ medicines exceeded the standard limits. Don’t forget that it was Fang Qiu who discovered these problems. Shame on you. Do you want to get these slots now? Why on earth should Fang Qiu give them to you?”

“That’s right. You’re a bunch of evil businessmen. You actually want Fang Qiu to provide you with free advertising slots. How shameless you are!”

“That’s right. But it’s because Fang Qiu has offended those pharmaceutical companies too much that it’s so easy for people to want to take revenge on him. Therefore, if he wants to repair this relationship, he has to give them some benefits. At this critical moment, they should work together!”

“Humph, you only say that because you want to make money. Don’t try to be so noble. Don’t say that you’re doing it for the sake of Chinese Medicine. You are really shameless!”

When Fang Qiu’s fans merely said a few words, the anti-fans stood up and refuted them.

Looking at the anti-fans making those slanderous remarks, Fang Qiu’s fans were so angry that they could not stand it.

“It’s so easy for you to sit there and talk! You can’t imagine how hard it is to do it.”

“Who offended them? It’s the evil companies who have offended everyone. It’s none of Fang Qiu’s business. Fang Qiu is fighting for justice. Why does he have to repair his relationship with them?”

“Even if they want to repair the relationship, why don’t those companies take the initiative? Fang Qiu did nothing wrong. Why does he have to take the initiative?”

In the blink of an eye, Fang Qiu’s fans and anti-fans quarreled with each other.

People who were aware of the actual situation would know that this was all because of money.

However, although he made a lot of money, it was not easy for Fang Qiu to take it. Once this matter was not handled well, Fang Qiu’s perfect image would fall dramatically in an instant.

If he took this money, it would mean that he made use of the fan economy and his purpose of learning traditional Chinese medicine was not pure. He was focused on making money!

However, he could not give away all the money, without leaving himself without anything either.

Who would be so stupid?

Was Fang Qiu such a stupid person?

Obviously not!

It was not tens of millions, but a total of 500 million. Faced with so much money, even a leader of one of the top 500 companies would be tempted, not to mention a student who had just reached the age of eighteen.

It was not easy for Fang Qiu to deal with this situation.

In other words, the reason why people on the Internet were making such a big fuss was actually to let Fang Qiu make a choice.

Which one did he want, fame or money?

Most importantly, if there was really someone pulling the strings behind this matter, Fang Qiu would definitely suffer heavy losses eventually no matter what he chose. He would either lose 500 million or lose his reputation which could not be exchanged for money!

This was a hard choice to make!
