"What? Say that again! Once more!""Someone to invest? How much did they say?""Hurry, connect them to the room! Such important news, why are you asking for permission? Making people wait - how inappropriate!""..."The five perked up instantly, pallid faces regaining color, more excited than when they first started business!Of course the caller was Evan - at this point, who else in Elysia could casually throw money at investments without considering losses?"Hello, I'm Adam Johnson, CEO and Chairman of Tiktoc! Are you calling to invest in our company? Could you come discuss in person?" Adam personally took the call, hands still trembling slightly from agitation."I'm Evan Smith!"Evan said lightly over the phone, "I saw your investment ad on the app. Happens I have some spare cash lying around. Rather than collecting bank interest, I prefer to invest!""Mr. Smith, thank you for noticing our small site, and for willing to help us through difficulties!"Adam was elated, finally someon
"Correct!" Evan was nonchalant."Ours will be daily instead of weekly like on TV, $100 million per day for a month! We can extend if more celebrities join!""Key point - you need to hire current popular celebrities as hosts! Get around a hundred, focusing on younger ones to better resonate with our audience!""Also, contracting the celebrities can come later once Tiktoc gains fame, it'll be easier. Ideally after the third activity is mostly done. Invite them to sign and host a Billionaire Challenge live! With all the stars there, ratings will explode!""Let's start today at 6pm for the first game. I've decided - Tiktoc's Ava can be the first host. Don't tell her yet, I'll inform her myself later. You handle subsequent celebrity hosts, no repeats!"Boom! The five were so shocked they fell off their chairs! They didn't even notice the subtle detail that Evan knew Ava well!"Heavens, $100 million daily, that's $3 billion a month! And the celebrity appearance fees must be astronomical!""

"So you're saying you suddenly have no direction for promotion?" Evan was on the phone, pondering for a moment before advising, "Let me ask you, what app do you think people use the most nowadays?""Apps? The most used apps must be social media! WhatsApp or Twitter, especially WhatsApp. I love using it the most!"Adam didn't understand why Evan was asking this. Just as he was about to elaborate on WhatsApp's user base, a flash of inspiration struck him. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Smith, are you saying we should partner with these apps and use their platforms to advertise ourselves?""Bingo!" Evan laughed heartily, "Now that you have ample funds, you can pave the way with money even if you don't know anyone in these top communication software companies! Go for it, don't be afraid to spend! Also, apps for food, housing, transportation etc. are all potential partners!""Right, let's collaborate with Uber Eats and Amazon for food!" Adam immediately caught on. With Evan's tips and support,
Naturally, Ava's popularity on TikToc livestreaming could not compare to her days on YouClub. Her massive drain of almost the entire livestreaming community's traffic to YouClub the other day through "Wealthy Smith's" rewards was legendary!Now in TikToc, even though TikToc had gained millions of downloads, her livestream still only attracted a pitiful few tens of thousands, a far cry from her former glory.But faced with such low viewership, Ava still smiled sweetly, optimistically accepting the hardship life threw at her.In the livestream room, after calling the prestigious securities firms in Elysia and posting hacker recruitment ads on the "dark web," "Wealthy Smith" descended once more!"Wow, Wealthy Smith also followed Ava to TikToc? I thought the number one gifter ever on YouClub would stay there!""Wealthy Smith, let's have a gifting spree!""Wealthy Smith? Is this the real deal? Can't be an impersonator right, you can reuse IDs on different platforms!""..."Evan's reputatio
Six thousand "music notes" worth $2000 each coiled upward in the stream, resembling furious dragons dominating the entire screen!The viewers were dumbfounded, mouths agape for the longest time. Now he was even more awe-inspiring than two days ago on YouClub. There he had totaled $19 million in two hours, but here he hit $12 million in under ten minutes!And he was still swiping nonstop!Abruptly, Ava's stream turned dead silent, barrage messages all disappeared. Everyone, Ava included, froze in shock at one thought - how rich exactly was this Wealthy Smith, did his family run a money printing factory?The silence lasted briefly before they erupted again, barrage messages spewing like volcanic eruptions!"Wealthy Smith is majestic!""TikToc's total gifting for years prior didn't reach $2 million. Wealthy Smith did that in ten minutes!""Wealthy Smith, need another sister? No blood relation!""...""Adam!"Sean, in charge of the third event, was preparing when he glanced at the compan
Adam yelled, "Get me twenty right now! We absolutely can't have the home page down! If it stays down, all our effort is ruined!"Landon and Matthew picked up the phones again. "Hello, we need twenty more servers!""..."After a long pause, the other side finally spoke in surprise. "The server we just sold you handles 9 million concurrent users. Now you want twenty more? What kind of company are you to have 10 million users at once?""Ah..." Landon and Matthew sighed together, "We have no choice, someone's power is just too great, he single-handedly attracted and monopolized our entire industry's traffic!""What??"The minor hiccup of TikToc's livestreaming platform crashing from too many users was swiftly resolved.The solution was renting twenty old servers temporarily to TikToc, since they didn't have twenty new ones in stock. Those would have to wait until fresh stock arrived to sell to TikToc!Although the problem was solved, transferring the 404 TikToc homepage to those twenty ol
In under five minutes, this initially unfamiliar ID had activated SSSVIPs in top hosts' streams across YouClub."Bang!"A huge wave swept YouClub!"It must be the real Wealthy Smith! Dozens of SSSVIPs, millions spent! A hand this generous using Wealthy Smith's name, it's him! Confirmed!""I followed this ID, he activated 50 SSSVIPs total. After each one he'd gift it all away in that stream. Rough estimate, in five minutes he spent $6 million already.""Can't be him. Only $6 million? The YouClub gifting legend Wealthy Smith does way more than $6 million! Fake!""..."As the barrage flew in Rebecca's stream, the initiator Sean stared at his screen uneasily. "Not bad imitation of Mr. Smith's style!"Devin watched Sean gloatingly, "But such a flashy ID, once Mr. Smith knows, you're dead. Also, I'm very curious how you knew Wealthy Smith is Mr. Smith?""I guessed! Believe me, with this ID and gifting, those hosts will all add us. Our job will be much easier! You think they'd take our call
