This guy said nothing and directly sent five Cloud-Piercing Arrows, each priced at 288.

[Top of the Crop: New account, trying to get some starter followers, could you please help with some shout-outs for more followers, big brother?]

Five Cloud-Piercing Arrows costing nearly fifteen hundred yuan in Zhang Yang's livestream room is not small change when there's no special event or rhythm, and it instantly caught Zhang Yang's attention.

When a money lord sends gifts, it's customary for the host to help shout out for followers. Zhang Yang casually opened the person's account and glanced at it, finding it really was a new account, so he quickly started speaking.

"Thanks to the big brother Top of the Crop for the five Cloud-Piercing Arrows! It's customary to shout out for followers in exchange for gifts. Guys in the livestream room, give Top of the Crop a follower boost! Consider it supporting our room's business!"

Zhang Yang's livestream room fans are a bit different from other similar rooms, many are old fans who followed across channels, showing great loyalty and execution.

With one call for followers, Chen Xiu's account transformed from having a dozen real life friends to more than eight hundred followers in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xiu knew just how hard it was to gain followers. Spending a thousand yuan to get over eight hundred followers was a profitable deal.

Very boldly, Chen Xiu didn't even frown and sent another five Cloud-Piercing Arrows!

In less than two minutes, he sent ten Cloud-Piercing Arrows, drawers in the livestream room instantly attracted many new viewers, and Zhang Yang's room quickly surged to over six thousand people.

[Top of the Crop: Brother Yang is powerful, of course, we won't skimp! We never fall short! For those who haven't clicked yet, I'd appreciate you all doing it, just to show support!]

The spending operation to gain followers was a big hit for the livestream fans at the time. Even Zhang Yang was stunned when he saw the other party send another five Cloud-Piercing Arrows, thinking how this big brother seemed to have no shortage of money.

"Thanks to big brother Top of the Crop for sending another five Cloud-Piercing Arrows! We now have over five thousand people in the room, with at least three thousand being our own followers! Those who haven't clicked follow yet, please do! I'll start a bait gift pack raffle to show some love!"

After Zhang Yang's call, those who hadn't clicked follow gradually did. During the initial cold start of the new account, Chen Xiu took the shortcut through his lavish spending.

Once Zhang Yang finished his shout-outs, Chen Xiu's account had already surged to over 1600 followers.

Spending less than three thousand yuan for 1600 followers is almost like getting them for free.

Having tasted the sweetness of gaining followers in Zhang Yang's room, Chen Xiu quickly grew more generous.

As long as there were fishing hosts with over five hundred viewers, he'd enter the room and start with thirty-yuan rockets, easily spending a couple hundred on a few rockets.

Ordinary hosts who haven't found a stable business model rarely see such generosity, and the shout-out for followers was especially vigorous.

Over the next short three days, the Top of the Crop account owned by Chen Xiu ballooned to 10,000 followers.

His father's startup fund of thirty thousand yuan was completely spent and even the more than ten thousand yuan in Chen Xiu's own bank card was thrown in.

After spending over forty thousand yuan, a foundation of followers was established, and Chen Xiu decisively rented a small reservoir for fifty yuan a day to host his fishing live stream debut.

Unlike other hosts who are reserved in front of the camera during their debut, Chen Xiu was different. He was adept and comfortable dealing with strangers from frequent deliveries and street hawking.

Even facing the camera, he showed no timidity. A quick familiarity with the live stream process and he was soon in the swing of things.

The fish conditions that day were only average, but Chen Xiu's livestream debut was highly successful. In the three-hour fishing stream, Chen Xiu gained over two hundred followers, and the backend data summary after the stream looked promising.

As they say, different people have different talents, and Chen Xiu was naturally fit to be a host.

Serious fishing livestreaming wasn't his style. It was the varied chatter, bragging, and engaging hooks during the stream that were his forte.

If Zhang Yang had watched his entire live stream, he would have been amazed by Chen Xiu's control of the streaming rhythm.

Live streaming fishing, through practice, Chen Xiu found could be done, quickly sparking his creativity.

After spending over forty thousand yuan, naturally, the next step was to bring followers into a WeChat group and start selling items for a profit since a fellow host had casually earned several thousand yuan not too long ago.

With his lively thoughts, Chen Xiu drove his family's Changhe minivan to the local street market for fishing gear, picking out a decent rod with good value.

He only paid the shop owner a thousand yuan as a deposit and negotiated a partnership to let them help ship out fishing rods.

Once the details were settled, Chen Xiu quickly announced the sale of fishing rods in the group he built up.

The same fishing rod as the host's, buy it and get six bottles of seam sealer free. Calculating the market price, the cost of the six bottles was higher than the rod.

With such a mindset of getting a bargain, the rods sold well, and after some dealings, over twenty rods were sold.

Seeing this, some might wonder, giving seam sealers with rods, isn't that going to lose money for exposure?

Actually not, Chen Xiu's family is the regional agent for a small seam sealer factory, and the supply cost of these items was dirt cheap, just a few yuan per bottle. Even after subtracting those costs, a rod still net a profit of over a hundred yuan.

After a day's hustle, the rods and seam sealers were shipped out, making Chen Xiu his first crab meal, earning a neat profit of about three thousand yuan.

With the money earned, validating his ideas and guesses, Chen Xiu without hesitation reinvested the money back into Kuaishou to buy virtual currency for a new round of gift-sending, follower-gaining, livestreaming, and selling rods in the group.

It can be said that Chen Xiu is truly a business genius, having figured out the commercial closed loop of the live-streaming field without any hints.

The money earned was spent on boosting followers; the followers gained promoted product sales. As buyers received the rods, positive feedback circulated in the group, sparking a boom in sales and swiftly creating a snowball effect.

Half a month later, the Top of the Crop account had grown to over forty thousand followers, with its personal space empty, not a single simplest post, entirely driven by brute force spending.

During Chen Xiu's account growth, he would circle once or twice daily around Zhang Yang's livestream room, sending a Cloud-Piercing Arrow or two as standard. If the numbers were up and the followers clicked were effective, he'd generously send another one or two, and Zhang Yang would duly perform the shout-outs perfectly.

Initially, Zhang Yang didn't know what was brewing in this guy's mind. After seeing him enter the room again to lavishly send large gifts, Zhang Yang noticed Chen Xiu's newly changed account name.

Xiu Bro Loves Fishing

Seeing this account name, Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, instantly getting excited.

In his past life, the fishing host Zhang Yang had followed closely was unexpectedly the big money spender who had been sending gifts and gaining followers every day during this time!

Before, the Top of the Crop name was somewhat off, but now changed to Xiu Bro Loves Fishing, it synced perfectly with Zhang Yang's memory.

Talking fishing live streams, Zhang Yang hadn't really been impressed by many people before, especially after he attained a master's rating; most fishing hosts seemed mere showpieces.

Only Chen Xiu, whom Zhang Yang followed from early on and watched for years, had outstanding streaming skills and a highly clever mind. With similarly mundane fishing content, he could broadcast flourishingly.

Livestreaming results were nothing short of perfect.

A treasure of a host like this, Zhang Yang couldn't easily let go. After ending the live stream, he immediately sent a private message asking for his contact information!

Whether Chen Xiu overlooked it due to numerous private messages or wasn't bothered, Zhang Yang waited through the afternoon without any reply.

Helplessly, Zhang Yang called Liu Xingyun to find Chen Xiu's registered phone number through backend technology.

At past eight in the evening, Zhang Yang dialed Chen Xiu's number.
