"Sister-in-law, how many months along are you?" Ye Cheng asked curiously. This belly is really big, and it feels like she wants to explode. It is hard to imagine how hard it must be for a woman to hold such a big belly.
"It's just nine months, and the due date is on the 24th of next month," said the woman.
"That's about the same as my wife; her due date is on the 23rd." Ye Cheng was surprised.
"Your wife should have given birth naturally. I am having twins, so I must have a caesarean section one week earlier," said the woman.
"Yes, the last one also gave birth naturally," Ye Cheng nodded and said.
"Natural birth is good. If it weren't for both twins, I would really like to have a natural birth. I heard that after a natural birth, I can get out of bed and walk around on the same day, and I can be discharged from the hospital the next day," the woman said with a bit of envy.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yuanyuan finally caught her breath and was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Ye Cheng exchanged business cards with the middle-aged man.
"It turns out that you are President Ye of Chenyuan Media; we have cooperated before," the middle-aged man laughed.
Ye Cheng saw the information on the business card of the middle-aged man, Bao Qiuhua, Pengcheng Man, and the chairman of the Resort Hotel.
He remembered that the Xinghai Guild's first signing ceremony and first live broadcast sales were held in this resort hotel.
"It turns out to be Director Bao," Ye Cheng said, shaking hands with Bao Qiuhua again.
It was just a chance encounter in the lounge before, but now both of them have cooperated, so it's different.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that your Xinghai Guild is going to hold the second signing ceremony for anchors. Have you booked a place yet?" Bao Qiuhua asked with a smile.
He is ready to do business.
Now is the off-season for tourism, and the business of the resort hotel is not very good. It would be a great benefit if Chenyuan Media could continue to hold the second signing anchor party in its own hotel.
This is equivalent to a good publicity effect for the hotel.
After the first signing of the anchor party, the hotel occupancy rate ushered in a small peak.
"Not yet, but soon."
Ye Cheng understood what he meant and laughed immediately.
The second signing ceremony was originally scheduled for today and tomorrow.
Due to other commitments, it has been postponed to the second and third days of May 1st, Labor Day.
"Mr. Ye, why don't you choose us, Manhe? I'll directly give you a free admission fee and a 50% discount on the banquet. How about that?" Bao Qiuhua said it tentatively.
"Dong Bao, it's fate that we can meet here. Since it's fate, whom is this business for? Do you think so?" Ye Cheng laughed.
Bao Qiuhua immediately laughed loudly and raised his thumb. "Mr. Ye is refreshing."
He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was settled.
Today had to be his lucky day, encountering the boss of Chenyuan Media.
In fact, he had already considered Chen Yuan Media, but there aren't many big hotels competing with Manhe, and Manhe might not even be able to compete.
Then Ye Cheng called Li Renbo and asked him to book the Manhe Resort directly.
Upon returning from the hospital, it was exactly twelve o'clock.
Aunt Xu had already prepared the meal.
A week ago, Aunt Xu returned from her hometown.
After eating, the mother-in-law suddenly said, "Xiaocheng, Yuanyuan, I will discuss it with your father. We plan to go back to Shashi tomorrow and come back when you are about to give birth. What do you think?"
On the Shashi side, she plays mahjong every day. When she arrives here, she can only wander around the community every day, and she can dance square dance at night, but there is no place to play mahjong.
So after half a month, she is quite busy now.
Ye Cheng and Lin Yuanyuan looked at each other, and they had privately agreed that Mom would definitely not be able to stay.
It's hard to say that it's taken so long to say it today.
"Mom, Dad, of course, no problem; I'll buy you tomorrow's high-speed rail tickets later," Ye Cheng said.
"Grandma, let's play for a few more days." Qin Qin was a little reluctant.
During this short-term school pick-up and drop-off, it's always grandparents who pick up and drop off, and they also take them out to play every day.
"Qinqin, next month, grandma and grandpa will come again," said the mother-in-law.
"Grandma, then you have to come early," Qin Qin said.
"Sure, dear."
The mother-in-law laughed.
In the afternoon, Ye Cheng took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to a shopping mall in Vientiane to buy some things for the two elders.
"Small town, there's no need to buy such an expensive one; it's too costly," the mother-in-law said, her lips forming the words but her eyes wide with a smile.
"It's okay; it doesn't cost much," Ye Cheng laughed. After all, the two bosses had come all the way to take care of Yuanyuan, and those who should be honored should indeed be honored.
The next morning, Ye Cheng drove the two old men to the high-speed rail station. He didn't leave the station until the tickets were checked, and the two elders followed the crowd in.
Back in the car, he called his brother-in-law, Lin Xuanyu, and asked him to pick up the two elders at Shashi South Station on time.
Back home, Ye Cheng's cell phone had a message of appreciation, which was sent by the class guide, Liu Mingde.
"Mr. Ye, I'm class instructor Liu Mingde. Thank you for donating $2 million to your alma mater. The school has recorded your name on the alumni celebrity list, and we have a special gift for you. We look forward to your visit to my alma mater."
"Sure, I'll make time for it," Ye Cheng replied.
The 40th anniversary of his alma mater was on April 20th and 21st, and he happened to be in Bangguo at that time, so he had no time to go. Therefore, he contacted the class instructor in advance and donated $2 million to his alma mater.
A few days later, it was already May 2nd.
The Xinghai Association's second signing anchor party was held, as usual, at the Man and Resort Hotel.
The event this time was grand, with a lineup that could be considered super luxurious in the live broadcast industry. Media reporters flocked to cover the event, almost turning it into a major event in the entertainment industry.
Several drones hovered in the sky, capturing images of the entire outside of the hotel. A long, bright red carpet stretched for hundreds of meters, leading all the way to the hotel entrance.
Fans crowded on both sides, screaming whenever a well-known anchor arrived. Due to the large number of fans, the company had hired numerous security guards, forming a human wall.
Media reporters scrambled for favorable positions, their flashing cameras filling the air with light.
The Xinghai Guild's live broadcast room was also open, with a professional lecture room where two lecturers introduced the information of each anchor walking the red carpet one by one.
Since the party had been publicized for more than a month, the popularity of the live broadcast room had skyrocketed to an astonishing 12 million viewers.
The active atmosphere in the live broadcast room was palpable. Every time an anchor appeared on camera, it stirred the excitement of their fans. With a large number of signed anchors, the admission process alone lasted for more than two hours, showcasing the formidable strength of the Xinghai Guild.
The well-deserved number one guild in the live broadcast industry.
After the lunch dinner, the Xinghai Guild held a grand live event with merchandise in the afternoon.
After all, the first signing of the anchor party started the era of live streaming.
The second reunion will definitely have something like this.
The live broadcast this time is in the live broadcast room of the Xinghai Guild.
Now the popularity of the live broadcast room has reached an astonishing 38 million, making it an excellent live broadcast room with merchandise.
...
According to the company's plan, the entire live broadcast will last for twelve hours, starting at 1:00 p.m. and ending at 1:00 a.m..
All signed anchors will be divided into 24 groups, and each group will have half an hour of live broadcast and delivery tasks.
The leader of each group is a top anchor with more than 10 million fans.
As for the time period, it will be decided by drawing lots.
In order to increase the fun, the planning team of the Xinghai Guild set this live delivery as a competition.
Wait until the end. After that, the ranking will be carried out, and the one with the highest sales will receive a commission for all products.
Originally, according to the contract level, in addition to the participation fee, the commission was between 20% and 60%.
As for the runner-up group, they can get 80%.
The third-place winner will get 70%.
Driven by this kind of interest, the anchors are naturally very excited and want to sell more merchandise desperately.
All the anchors have already sent short videos, hoping fans will come to the live broadcast room to support them.
This is related to the reputation of the anchors. Broadly speaking, it is related to the reputation of the anchors' fans.
"Mr. Ye, why don't we guess how much sales this live broadcast can bring in the end?"
Standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window, Li Renbo could clearly see the live sales scene below.
"Then guess!" Ye Cheng laughed.
"I think there are at least five hundred million."
Li Renbo thought for a while and said,.
After all, this is the first time that the live broadcast has featured merchandise; there are not so many anchors, and the number of fans is not so large, but it still generated more than 100 million in sales.
It should be no problem to multiply that this time.
"I don't think there is any problem with reaching one billion," Ye Cheng said confidently.
Now it's not an important day like Double Eleven, but it is Labor Day, and the live broadcast audience is very large, so it should be able to generate a lot of orders.
