Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 891 - 370: Now We Can Rest Easy

The core reasons for pricing have been presented, but pricing remains a major challenge.

Because no matter how it’s set, someone’s interests will inevitably be affected.

Su Huai gestured for them to look at the documents: "Here’s Xingyu’s half-year financial report. Do you think Xingyu is really worth 10 billion USD?"

Li Jiaqi and Li Ziqi weren’t able to fully understand the report yet, so they just focused on the sections related to costs and profits.

In the first half of 2017, Xingyu’s total revenue was 3.758 billion RMB, and total expenses were 3.211 billion RMB.

Of this, May and June contributed 2.3 billion in revenue, while the first four months combined only added up to 1.45 billion.

So this half-year report doesn’t quite reflect Xingyu’s current value. Su Huai then pointed out the simplified monthly report for July.

In July, the total revenue was 1.322 billion RMB.

Yuji contributed 160 million RMB, including 120 million from live streaming salaries and transaction revenue, which had steadily declined, consistent with normal daily activity in the absence of promotions; and 40 million RMB from commercial collaborations, which saw a minor surge.

Zhang Dayi hosted two branded women’s clothing launch events, along with her regular live streams, generating 180 million RMB in revenue.

Li Jiaqi had steady live streams, currently earning profits through commission-based revenue models, contributing 23 million RMB in total.

This live-stream income is already relatively high. He sold about 200 million RMB worth of beauty products, with the average revenue per stream reaching 7 million RMB.

Of course, it’s far from his peak efficiency when he could sell 200 million RMB worth of goods in a single stream.

Quanquan is still actively marketing the Boba Pear campaign, with several new products developed, but none have particularly impressed Su Huai yet. For now, maintaining a consistent pace of content posting and picking up a few commercial deals was the strategy.

Total revenue contribution: 20 million RMB.

As for Li Ziqi, there has been no significant revenue for now. Despite an abundance of advertisement quotes and business collaboration opportunities, Su Huai has declined them all.

So the only revenue here came from negligible overseas YouTube earnings and domestic platform content creator rewards.

Meanwhile, Liu Zigui and top influencers across major platforms collectively contributed 150 million RMB in revenue.

The primary driver was Xingyu’s robust premium pricing capability. No live-streaming platform offers a 50/50 revenue split—Xingyu takes no less than 65% and as much as 75%.

As a result, the vast number of mid- and lower-tier streamers explosively contributed a total of 800 million RMB in revenue.

Of this, over 700 million came from online sources, with a few tens of millions from offline sources, creating a temporary imbalance in proportions.

The remainder came from Xingyu Dubai branch office, which had just started operations. While it shows great potential, it will require time.

"Hiss... This is terrifying!"

Li Ziqi stared at the unimaginably high figures, stunned to the point of speechlessness.

The others felt similarly, finding it completely unbelievable.

"Xingyu has only been established for less than a year, hasn’t it? This is just..."

Su Huai shook his head in response.

"You are all the backbone of the company, so it’s time to officially share some news with everyone."

"Hmm?!"

Everyone simultaneously raised their heads, sensing an ominous feeling in the air.

Su Huai spoke calmly: "Given Xingyu’s current ability to operate independently, the company’s largest investor has decided to withdraw funding. From now on, the rankings for the top influencers will no longer be explosive."

"!!!"

Everyone exchanged glances, momentarily struggling to come to terms with the news.

However, Zhang Dayi quickly recovered: "It’s reasonable. The momentum has already been built, so it’s time to slow down and focus on recovering capital."

Li Jiaqi nodded in agreement: "The mid- and lower-tier streamers contributed most of the revenue. There’s no significant value in continuing to sustain the top-tier traffic. Concentrating efforts on protecting Yu’s reputation should be enough."

Seeing them swiftly accept reality, Su Huai smiled with relief.

The core of the Stage 3 system involves attribute transfers, so it has lost functionalities related to finances. Moving forward, he won’t be able to spend money recklessly.

As a result, the rankings for all top influencers in the company will experience a drastic shrinkage, returning to normal levels.

Su Huai could, at most, pull 20 million RMB a month from his pocket money to support his ’daughter’ and ensure her absolute leading position.

A rough estimate suggests her total transaction volume for August might struggle to surpass 50 million RMB.

For this, he would even have to rehearse a scenario with Yuji to turn the whole situation from negative to positive.

As for the other influencers, Su Huai couldn’t care much more—slowly clearing out stock from their accounts would be the approach, allowing smaller accounts to withdraw from the platform one after another.

The road ahead is theirs to navigate independently.

Moreover, the new situation will rigorously test their mindset, emotional intelligence, resilience, and vision.

Only those who endure will qualify to remain top influencers.

If anyone manages to achieve a breakthrough again, they’ll earn the right to accumulate strength for pursuing S-tier status.

"So let me ask everyone: Is Xingyu worth 10 billion USD?

Without the investor’s funding, not only will our revenue suffer a 300-million RMB loss, but the chain reaction caused by losing the top-tier influencer status may trigger even broader declines.

What’s your perspective on this matter?"

"I don’t mind."

Zhang Dayi shook her head, glanced at Gu Jiuyue, and then smiled: "Honestly, I’ve never thought Xingyu was really worth 10 billion USD!

It was all thanks to you and Mr. Gu’s efforts to elevate the company’s valuation, but I’ve always been aware of the truth.

Based on my contribution to profits alone, managing to sustain a 3-billion RMB company used to be a stretch—there’s no logic in claiming that four of me could suddenly be worth 65 billion RMB!

If it were genuinely 65 billion RMB, I wouldn’t deserve to hold 15% equity at all!

The reasoning is straightforward.

Don’t always think I, Zhang Dayi, am just greedy for profit. Back during my collaboration with Mr. Feng and the others, the shares I took weren’t much either, but there was never any conflict over such matters.
