Chapter 846: Chapter 353 Gu: Can’t You Guys Get Things Done?_2

Han Fanglin glared at her angrily and waved his hand forcefully: “Next one!”

When they got to the next one, he motivated himself again, slamming the table: “Why Quanquan?! She brought attention to Hugging Pear, and only tens of thousands in sales?!”

Shi Zeyu was about to pull out some data, but Su Huai effortlessly knocked Han Fanglin down with one sentence.

“Quanquan is Gu’s good friend.”

Gu Jiuyue nodded vigorously: “Exactly! Half of her videos are filmed at my place, and my voice even makes occasional appearances. Isn’t that worthy of S+?”

Han Fanglin broke out in a cold sweat.

“Well… I guess… But next one? Right, Liu Zigui!”

Shi Zeyu quietly closed one folder and opened another.

“Though I also don’t understand why she’s so popular, the fact is, she’s hot right now. Look, here’s this month’s entire Kuaishou statistics. Using ‘shuffling dance’ as the keyword, the final overall share extracted is 10.8%.

If we use 100K likes as a threshold, then shuffling dance-related content accounts for 28.6%.

And throughout June, Kuaishou had only four videos with over 10 million likes. Two of them were hers: one was her individual video, and one was a group shuffling dance with her apprentices. Another one mentions shuffling dance in a satire clip, accounting for 75% in total…”

Han Fanglin felt like he was shattering inside.

Actually, it wasn’t that dramatic–what’s the big deal about just four extra S+ influencers?

Xingyu, laying out the facts and reasoning, finally made the opposing side agree wholeheartedly.

So, Xingyu actually has six S+ influencers, each one being highly formidable, leading in their respective domains.

Below that are over 200 A-level influencers.

In reality, the A-levels are the true leaders in the influencer world–the ones who grab the fattest profits and live glamorously.

PDD, XXBB, Little Ear, Chen Yifa, Lu Benwei, Douyu’s Three Sluts… and so on–they are currently just A-level.

Five Five Open’s popularity and fame are stable now, but when it comes to his fans fighting tooth and nail, they roar loudly; when it comes to spending money, they pull back shyly. Adding him to S-level? Many seasoned Douyu veterans wouldn’t agree.

Here’s Chen Yifa, whose rise in popularity is the fastest among female streamers. The song ‘Town Ballad’ is genuinely a hit–it doesn’t even need another one. If it explodes on Douyin, transitioning over, she’d become a top-tier influencer–the next S+.

Feng Timo already hit S-level, then ascended to the entertainment industry, representing a clear S+ gatekeeper during that phase and raising morale for her streamer fans.

But she failed to hold her ground. Her body shape, looks, singing skills, and genuine female celebrity standards indeed had gaps. Eventually, she faded out of sight when ill, yet she paved the way for the later S+ Liu Yuning.

So don’t underestimate A-level influencers. A stable yearly income of millions? Once the market expands, each individual will start earning tens of millions.

And earning just 10 million–those are influencers in niche niches. Even Female Streamer 66 makes tens of millions a year; the ease of monetizing traffic is clear.

Xingyu’s B-level, mid-tier influencers–there are even more of those.

Monthly revenue stabilizes above 50K RMB, below A-level’s 200K threshold, and doesn’t meet other standards. There are five to six thousand of such individuals online, with Xingyu alone accounting for half.

Over time, the massive base of C-level signed influencers will inevitably produce an increasing number of mid-tier or even top-tier influencers.

Thus, Xingyu’s development potential is at the S+ level. Its future monopoly over influencer livestreaming will only grow more exaggerated.

When it comes to influence, Han Fanglin begrudgingly accepted Xingyu’s claims.

The claim: Xingyu has the ability, within the next year, to expand its influence to 250 million people and monopolize at least 70% of the streaming influencer market.

2. Profitability outlook.

Currently, Xingyu isn’t very profitable–or rather, its earnings aren’t exceeding its expenditures.

May’s total revenue was 1.285 billion RMB, of which Su Huai stealthily infused 300 million RMB via the Commander, Quanquan sold Hugging Pear for tens of millions, Zhang Dayi achieved her first-ever monthly sales of over 200 million, advertising revenue was about 80 million, and contributions from 100,000 streamers totaled roughly 600 million.

After deducting all sorts of miscellaneous costs, net income attributable to the parent company amounted to approximately 220 million RMB.

The construction of 49 nodes cost a ton of money, and previous earnings were mostly reinvested. While this month has started yielding some profit, upcoming acquisitions of Gou Star and Music Box will require at least 10 billion RMB–far from sufficient capital.

But for now, let’s shelve that issue and focus on setting the valuation tightly.

Tianyi’s team rated Xingyu’s profit potential as S-level, forecasting annual earnings of 3 billion RMB–not bad, but not as impressive as expected either.

Han Fanglin frowned critically: “Such a massive influencer base, and this is all the revenue you generate?”

Su Huai was exasperated.

“Do you even understand the concept of ‘electricity bill streamers’? Streaming for pennies barely covers their electric bills.

Those at the bottom–the new streamers–are just here to earn some electricity money.

For those who truly thrive in this business, the numbers are far smaller than you’d imagine. Among 100,000, if 10,000 stabilize, it’s already good–Xingyu is exceptionally talented at cultivating people.”

Han Fanglin pressed: “So, how large do you plan to expand? I mean, at its mature phase?”

Su Huai knew exactly what he meant and had thought about this question himself.

“About 200,000,” he responded.

He gestured for Shi Zeyu to present the calculated data.

“First, we’ll control the scale of the agent team and the operations team, then determine our management limit at a balanced point. Ultimately, this forms a dynamic equilibrium of constant elimination and replenishment, with the number expected to be between 200,000 and 250,000–the total number of online-signed contracts.

For offline, each node can efficiently manage 200~500 influencers or creators, with the maximum scale not exceeding 20,000.”
