In 2020, the trend of self-media had long since passed, so Chen Yu decided to venture into the industry.
After doing some simple research on the internet, he decided to become a technology review UP on Bilibili.
He fantasized that many big companies and brands would take the initiative to cooperate with him and give him all kinds of high-tech products to play with, earning money along the way …
However, reality gave him a ruthless smack in the face.
After emptying his savings to buy a camera and laptop, he made two unboxing videos and uploaded them to the internet. However, he only received 56 views and zero comments.
This made Chen Yu furious.
Why did other UP videos have hundreds of thousands or even millions of views, but only 56 of his videos?
This was unfair!
After two days of rage, Chen Yu decided to give up and delete the two videos that could be considered "black history."
Afterward, he hung the camera and laptop on Salted Fish, planning to sell them to recover his lost blood.
He was already in his second year of high school, so he should just obediently go to school …
However, just as Chen Yu contacted the seller and was about to sell the camera and laptop, a notification suddenly popped up on his WeChat app.
[Stranger "Transdimensional Marketing" has sent a friend request.]
"Huh?"
Chen Yu was stunned. He subconsciously clicked "Accept" and typed, "Who are you?"
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Guess?"]
"Guess my ass." Chen Yu decisively deleted the friend request.
Having failed to start his own business, Chen Yu's emotions were currently very unstable.
[Stranger "Transdimensional Marketing" has sent a friend request.]
[Stranger "Transdimensional Marketing" has sent a friend request.]
[Stranger "Transdimensional Marketing" has sent a friend request.]
Immediately afterward, friend requests started popping up one after another on the WeChat interface.
Irritated, Chen Yu wanted to blacklist the other party and report them. However, after giving it some thought, he decided to vent his anger by scolding the other party. Hence, he clicked "Accept" and typed a series of greetings.
However, in the next second, the other party's words stunned Chen Yu …
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Hello, are you a technology product review UP on Bilibili?"]
Chen Yu repeatedly read the message over a dozen times. After confirming that he did not misrecognize a single Chinese character, he deleted the words in the input bar and typed again, "Are you a fan who watched my videos?"
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Yes.
I saw your videos on Bilibili and added you based on the WeChat ID you left in your profile. "]
[Chen Yu: "It's my honor!"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Are you interested in promoting our company's products?"]
Sponsored partnerships?
Money?!
Advertisers?!!
These three terms suddenly echoed in Chen Yu's mind, and his breathing quickened in excitement.
What was the meaning of "fragrant wine fears no dark alley"?
What did it mean that gold and jade would eventually shine?
The website refused to recommend him, and the readers were unwilling to give him a like. Wasn't it all because of the "insightful" Talent Scout who discovered his existence?!
"Phew …"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu closed his eyes and calmed himself down. Half a minute later, he opened his eyes, which were glowing with a green light, and started typing rapidly.
[Chen Yu: "I'm interested!"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "That's great."]
[Chen Yu: "May I know what product your company is going to promote?
Cell phone?
Tablet?
Learning machine? "
[Transdimensional Marketing: "These are the basics."]
[Chen Yu: "There are better products?"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Yes.
Most of them are high-tech products. I want to cooperate with you for a long time. "
Swallowing his saliva, Chen Yu typed, "Really?"
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Yes.
The first cooperation period is one month. If the results of the promotion are good, we can sign a longer contract. "]
The emotions that Chen Yu had just managed to calm down exploded once more.
Gripping his phone tightly, Chen Yu threw himself onto his bed and rolled around a dozen times like a madman. He then sat up and pondered for a moment before asking a question.
[Chen Yu: "There are so many well-known UP Masters out there. Why me?
I just joined the industry. "]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "I've already tried. However, as soon as I send them the product catalog, they blacklisted me.
So, I want to try and see if there are any lower requirements for newcomers. "]
"Blacklist them all?" Chen Yu gradually calmed down.
It couldn't be a sex toy, right?
[Chen Yu: "May I know if it's for men and women?"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Although there are some, they are not the main ones.
The main products are still high-tech products.
Maybe the price my company offered is too low. "]
Seeing this, Chen Yu relaxed and quickly started typing.
[Chen Yu: "It's fine.
I'm a new UP. As long as the price is suitable, I can accept it.
May I know how much your company is offering? "]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Our company does not offer a price to our partners."]
[Chen Yu: "???"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "We only give our partners our products to promote."]
"I see!"
Realization dawned on Chen Yu.
No wonder so many famous UP Masters blacklisted him.
If they only offered a product and not a single cent, it would be strange if a famous UP Master would help them promote their products!
After understanding the reasoning behind this, the excitement in Chen Yu's heart dissipated by a large margin. After pondering for a long time, he still chose to agree.
Although he wouldn't be making any money, it wouldn't be a loss if he could play with all kinds of technological products for free.
At the very least, he could earn some income by selling the products after playing with them.
[Chen Yu: "I understand what you mean.
I'm willing to promote your company's products. "]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Thank you very much!
Let's sign the contract now, then. "]
[Chen Yu: "Wait a moment."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "What?"]
[Chen Yu: "Let me take a look at the products your company wants to promote first. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Alright!
I'll send it to you right away. Please check the receipt.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. "]
[Chen Yu: "Okay."]
Lying on his bed, Chen Yu held onto his phone and waited for the other party to send him the documents.
Two minutes later, he received a Word.
Various types of documents were sent over.
"Here it is."
Chen Yu hurriedly opened the documents. Upon seeing the first product, he abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Chen Yu's hands trembled slightly as he held onto his phone …
