Chapter 425
So far, almost no one in the entertainment industry knows that his sister is actually Regretless. Because of this, he's been enjoying some peaceful days lately.
"Enough chatting, go wash your hands for dinner," Raul called out, carrying a bowl of food.
Flora went to wash her hands while Henrik helped set the table.
"Here, try this. I got these shrimp from the supermarket early this morning; they're super fresh," Raul said, offering a plate.
"And these pork ribs..."NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"Don't forget to try this braised pork belly too..."
Raul kept piling food onto Flora's plate, creating a small mountain in her bowl. He missed her so much. By his count, it had been over a month since he last saw Flora. The thought of her eventually getting married and visiting home even less often made his nose tingle and his eyes well up.
After dinner, Raul, Henrik, and Flora sat on the couch, the TV on but ignored. Raul read the newspaper, Henrik worked on his laptop, and Flora chatted on her phone. Ivan had added her to a group chat full of guys.
As soon as she joined, the previously silent group sprang to life.
"That one, living in my heart: Welcome, Fairy Shen!"
"Witty, but reserved: Welcome, Fairy Shen!"
"Singing love songs in the bathroom: Welcome, Fairy Shen!"
Seeing the string of bizarre usernames, Flora's mouth twitched. And that nickname, Fairy Shen... definitely the work of straight guys.
Flora caught a glimpse of Henrik's laptop screen and saw the words "live streaming proposal" flash by. Curious, she leaned in for a better look.
Henrik didn't mind and let her see.
"Wow, the profits are huge!"
Flora was surprised by the numbers on the screen.
Henrik smiled, "It's all thanks to your idea. Live streaming has really taken off. Most of the people you recommended now have over a million followers. The most successful one has over ten million; you know, the guy who raises pigs."
Flora couldn't help but laugh.
Knowing Flora was clued in on this stuff, Henrik shared more, "It's cheap to groom internet celebrities, and now loads of companies are investing heavily in them."
When Henrik first got into live streaming, many in the industry scoffed at him, even mocking him. They thought it was all low-brow. But after seeing his success, they started scrambling to get in on the action. "It's inevitable," Flora said. "Don't worry about what others think. As long as our streamers have a clear niche, their fans will stick around."
Flora added, "Plus, we can also do live sales."
"Live sales?" Henrik raised an eyebrow. Another new term from Flora.
"Yeah, these days, traffic equals money. We can collaborate with merchants to sell products during live streams and take a commission based on sales. We can also take on advertisements from merchants... By the way, are you going to the office tomorrow? I'll come with you!"
Some things are too complex to explain in a few words. Flora also wanted to see how big Henrik's company had grown.
"I have a live contest to judge tomorrow; I can't miss it. Rafael is judging too, and some of our artists from Florik Entertainment are competing," Henrik said. "After the contest, I'll head back to the office. Want to come?"
Flora thought for a moment and nodded.
Henrik smiled warmly, "Alright, I'll call you tomorrow."
