Chapter:-87 Mastadon

Half an hour later, Keith was sitting on the couch with Julian and two other people

standing before him. One was Lou from the security department, and the other was Simon Kim, head of IT. As for Daria, she'd already rushed back to her room to sleep.

The three of them looked at the indifferent Keith and discreetly swallowed in fear. They

were ready to be yelled at. Keith looked at them and suddenly asked, Simon, tell us,

which famous websites do we have under our company? Sir, the company has only

started to enter the online arena in recent years.

We bought a few media websites, but the only one with a bit of fame is Mastodon. OK.

Keith knew about this platform, but it could be considered second-rate in the US.

He nodded and asked, you'd know about the video too. Simon, should we use this

opportunity to earn some money? The men standing before him looked at him in

surprise. On the Internet, traffic equaled money.

If a site generated a lot of traffic, all sorts of investors and advertising companies would

pay to be on the platform. Keith's idea impressed them. You can easily find a business

opportunity.

Keith only had one thought, but Simon, as the head of IT, instantly had another idea. He

thought for a moment and said, Mr. Sandberg, we can claim that we've found you and

you've agreed to be a guest on our website and perform live. That will drive tons of

traffic to the site.

We'll get in touch with the advertisers. I estimate that just the income from advertising

alone might reach two million. Keith gestured for them to sit down and said with a smile,

although your idea is good, it's a one-time deal.

Later, your department will choose a suitable video of me and Ms. Strauss's duet and put

it on the website. But before uploading it, you have to do a few things. First, the video

can only include the back of me and Ms. Strauss.

Second, Ms. Strauss's figure should be as blurry as possible so no one can recognize her.

My back view can be slightly clearer, but the video will definitely reveal my appearance.

Third, you must cover up the surrounding scenery and the other guests in the video so

there are no clues.

The other men nodded in understanding and Keith went on. After you've done these

three things, you can't claim that you've found me. Instead, you have to say that the

video was provided by an anonymous user.

He'll post the latest videos on the site one after another, slowly exposing more and more

information on this young man. As the idea unfolded, the three men began to

understand his plan and they were flabbergasted. He was trying to attract the attention

of the crowd bit by bit.

Needless to say, under such means, the traffic to the site would increase exponentially,

and it would continue to increase over time. Julian reacted first and said, Sir, you're

brilliant. Simon frowned.

Julian had flattered Keith before him. He couldn't bear it. He immediately began to sing

Keith's praises, as well as Julian and Lou looked on in shock.

Why didn't they see that had this kind of talent before? Keith saw that Simon might go

on for hours, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, That's enough. Let's get down to

business. You've shattered Simon's wish to continue sucking up to you.

Attribute point plus one. Keith rolled his eyes and said, What do you think about the

profits of this site? Simon instantly replied, You can divide it however you want, sir. Keith

frowned and pretended to be angry.

How can I have the final say? Is there no financial process in all of industries? You're the

backbone of the company. You must set a good example. Don't say such irresponsible

things to me in the future.

Julian knew that his opportunity had come and hurriedly said, Sir, there are company

rules regarding these matters. If an employee has any personal projects that require the

company's resources to develop, as long as his project is approved, it can go ahead. The

company isn't responsible for this person's losses, but if the project is profitable, he

needs to hand over 20% of the profits to the company.

Keith nodded in satisfaction. Good. Work with the technical department to set everything

up.

You don't need to go through mistrust. I'll just approve it directly. IT will be in charge of

implementation.

The security department will assist them. 30% of the profits will be handed over to the

company. Both of your departments will take 10% of the profits and use it to give extra

benefits to your employees.

The three of them looked at each other. This project could be really profitable. And Keith

was daring to bypass the company and directly approve it himself.

Furthermore, he wanted to hand over 30% to the company and earn a good reputation.

His methods were brilliant, but their departments would also take a portion of the profits,

which made them willing to follow his orders. The three of them immediately said, Oh,

don't worry, sir.

We'll get started right away. You've fulfilled their wish to earn extra money. Wish value

plus one.

Current progress, seven of 10. Keith waved his hand and said, you guys can leave. Hurry

up and get back to me with a plan.

After they left, Keith thought about it for a while. It was only one week left before the

college entrance exam. Although he was confident, he still had more preparation to do to

make sure he got the best results.

As he was on his way to the bookstore, Keith's phone rang. It was Will. Keith, I found a

store, but the current owner... If Will hadn't called him, Keith would have almost

forgotten about the whole thing.

He smiled and said, you go and discuss it with them. I trust you. If you need more

money, just call me.

Keith, Will said in a low voice, I heard a rumor Lake has dumped Christina. Last night,

someone saw her go home alone, and she was wiping away tears. Really? Keith frowned

and was silent for a moment.

Then he sighed and said, forget it. She's nothing to do with me anymore. Go and do your

work.

I'll catch up with you later, bro. Keith and Olivia's duet was put online and had already

attracted a lot of attention. People were ecstatic to finally hear a complete performance

by Keith.

The beautiful music and the enigmatic view of the players from behind left them

intoxicated. At the same time, they wanted to see Keith's face even more urgently. For a

moment, Mastodon attracted the attention of many people.

Up till now, the number of daily visitors to the site had been in the tens of thousands.

Now, it was in the millions. In just three short days, there were 700,000 new registered

users.

Mastodon had become famous overnight. All kinds of advertising companies and

sponsors wanted to work with them. Within three days, Mastodon's income had reached

$44 million, more than its total income in the past year.

On the fourth day, a famous music website wanted to buy the rights to the video at a

price of $3 million. The company had verbally agreed, but Keith rejected it outright. If the

video still belonged to Mastodon, then people would continue to pay attention to the site.

It wasn't worthwhile to sell the copyright now. What's more, he had a bigger money-

making plan in mind. Everyone had been discussing the identity of the mysterious young

man, and from this, Mastodon was getting more and more attention.

Although Keith looked calm on the surface, each day's report made him happier inside.

In five days, he had already earned $28 million. On the fifth day, an anonymous source

posted a piece of news.

The piano player in the video was the CEO of Olive Industries, Olivia Strauss. This young

man had a close relationship with the Strauss family, and was now a senior executive of

Olive Industries, and he was about to take the college entrance exam. This musical

genius was probably going to one of the best schools in the country, and he was already

an executive in a major corporation.

Once the news was released, it was like the entire internet broke. People were even

more eager to see this genius appear. Requests flooded in for the young man to hold a

concert so that everyone could hear his beautiful music.

On Mastodon, the comments section was filled with congratulatory wishes for the

mystery man to succeed in his entrance exams. That night, the fee for the live concert

was settled. $12 million.

Overall, Keith had earned $40 million. Public opinion had reached such a fervor that

Olive Industries had no choice but to give a positive response. This post person said that

Keith had everyone's blessing, but as he was currently preparing for the exam, he

wouldn't appear in front of the public for the time being.

Once this was announced, the public gradually calmed down. The next morning, Keith

looked at his account. The balance had already reached $75 million.

This was truly a huge sum of money, and as he'd already entrusted old Mr. Strauss to

search for energy crystals, he was free to spend this money as he liked. He wanted to

experience what it felt like to be rich. It was the day of the college entrance exam.
