Chapter 209: Chapter 179: Xingchuan International Respects Every Girl with a Dream

At that moment, Gu Heng was honestly a little stunned.

’Who the hell came up with this idea?’

’What a fucking genius!’

The approach was a little crooked, the line of thinking bizarre, but it was undeniably practical.

Take those "fruit platter girls," for instance. Offline, they already used their youth, pretty faces, and sultry figures to make rich patrons linger in dens of vice, unwilling to leave. Putting them online would be even more effective.

A bit of good lighting, a filter, and they would be certified internet sirens.

They could sing, they could dance.

They could be sultry, they could be seductive.

Rake in cash online, sweet-talk rich patrons offline.

And as for whether those young women would be willing to leave their comfort zones for an online career—if the MCN agency was run by Xingchuan International, many would surely be willing to try.

After all, even deadbeats have dreams. This was especially true for young women willing to stoop to working in the fruit-platter industry; they naturally held a powerful yearning for the glamorous life of an internet celebrity.

To look at the worst-case scenario, even if they failed, it would be no real loss to them. They could just go back to their old establishments and pick up their old trade.

After all, the four music-themed business lounges under Xingchuan International’s control saw a steady stream of new recruits every single day. Its most high-end venue, the Platinum Association, even had countless ties to many art academies.

Furthermore, Xingchuan International already had its own artist management department, staffed entirely by singers signed to the company. Many of them had even been top performers on music competition reality shows.

They spent their years touring the nation, performing at the 12 live house venues under Xingchuan International’s Sound Wave brand. Including the band members, their total number was around two hundred.

Given all this, Xingchuan International had extensive experience in artist management. Therefore, what Chu Zhengxiong had said earlier wasn’t just him singing his own praises; the resources at Xingchuan International’s disposal were genuinely vast.

"Chairman Gu, about this group-streaming project."

"We actually started preparations two months ago. We selected the best of the best from Beichun’s major art academies—a group of wholesome, hardworking, and ambitious young female university students. They are currently undergoing professional dance training."

Seeing Gu Heng show a flicker of interest, Zhou Gang immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued his report.

"They will be the vanguard for Xingchuan International’s push into online live streaming, our champions on the emerging track of group broadcasting. We will continue to pour massive resources into them, aiming to make them an explosive hit on their very first broadcast."

"Then, once we’ve successfully cultivated one group-broadcasting team, we can use that experience to replicate the process in batches. We’ll activate our entire talent pool, adopt a cast-a-wide-net approach, and ultimately achieve a qualitative leap through quantitative accumulation..."

From this day forward, the era of Xingchuan International being Chu Zhengxiong’s one-man show was over. In the future, major projects that determined the group’s direction would all require Gu Heng’s approval.

Never mind that their letter of intent was full of sensational promises, or that they had successfully secured four hundred million in cash from Gu Heng. Actually executing the plans in that letter—and successfully spending that four hundred million—was no simple matter.

Gu Heng was both an opportunity for Xingchuan International’s future and, at the same time, their biggest constraint...
