"Thank you to[Little Cutie]for the rocket. However, I really don't have time to check private messages right now. If it's not a particularly private matter, feel free to say it directly in the livestream," Chen Yang said, expressing his thanks.
Chu Chu was nearly frantic.
Her message wasn't exactly a matter of privacy, but she knew that this livestream room could have competitors from other platforms watching. If they found out that she hadn't signed a contract with Chen Yang yet, they would definitely take immediate action to poach him.
At that moment, at Shark Platform:
Yang Hai had already seen the message that Chu Chu had sent in the livestream. As someone in the industry, he recognized her account name. His furrowed brows relaxed.
He immediately walked into the general manager's office.
"Zhang, I've confirmed it. This Chen Yang hasn't signed with Feiyu Platform yet."
"How do you know?"
"I just saw an employee from Feiyu Platform giving Chen Yang a tip and asking him to check private messages. I suspect Feiyu Platform has already tried to contact Chen Yang, but he hasn't checked his private messages yet."
It turned out his judgment was accurate.
"But right now, it's not that Feiyu can't sign him; we can't get through either."
Zhang, the general manager, replied, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Yang Hai said, "Give him a tip! Then leave a message telling him who we are and invite him to our platform."
Zhang shook his head. "No, doing that would get your account banned by Feiyu Platform."
Yang Hai said, "Let them ban it, creating a new account is easy. But if we don't do this, who knows when Chen Yang will see the private messages, and Feiyu might get ahead of us."
Zhang thought for a moment and still shook his head. "We can't do that. For the sake of one streamer, engaging in malicious competition like that would be laughed at in the industry."
"But this streamer really has the potential to blow up."
"Whether or not he can blow up, who knows? He's just livestreaming in a mountain village, it's not something that will last."
"Well... then I'll just keep messaging him."
Yang Hai thought for a moment, agreeing with Zhang's point. Livestreaming from a mountain village had never been a formula for massive success before. Plus, the recent surge in Chen Yang's popularity was mostly due to his discovery of the century-old wild ginseng.
But wild ginseng wasn't something you could just dig up whenever you felt like it.
So, he went back to his seat and continued to leave messages for Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, with a stick in hand and a machete at his waist, was walking through the forest.
After walking for over half an hour, he stopped and said, "There's a fallen tree over there. I'll go take a look."
He walked over and saw the fallen tree. He crouched down and stared at it for a few seconds before wiping his eyes.
Seeing this, the viewers immediately felt something was off.
"Something doesn't feel right…"
"Although I don't recognize this tree, my gut tells me this definitely isn't just an ordinary piece of wood!"
"Anyone with more knowledge care to weigh in?"
[Xiao Dong]: "Uh, I'm not too familiar with trees, so I won't make any wild guesses."
[Jia Tianxia]: "I do know a bit, but there are too many dead leaves on this fallen ree, so it's hard to make out clearly. However, based on Master Chen's reaction, this isn't likely to be an ordinary species."
"Hmm…"
Chen Yang clicked his tongue, leaving the viewers curious and on edge.
"There's an old saying that goes: the early bird gets the worm, and those who smile usually have good luck."
"Turns out, the old sayings really do have some truth to them."
As soon as the viewers heard this, they knew the fallen tree was likely something extraordinary.
Chen Yang brushed off the fallen leaves and revealed the true form of the tree.
Immediately,[Jia Tianxia]recognized it.
"Water Ash! It's wild Water Ash!"
[Jia Tianxia]couldn't contain his excitement.
"Is Water Ash expensive?"
"I don't really know much about these things."
"They're just trees, how different can they be?"
[Jia Tianxia]: "Cultivated Water Ash isn't expensive, but wild Water Ash... that's priceless. It's not something you can easily measure with money."
Chen Yang said, "That's right, it can't be measured by value, because wild Water Ash is a nationally protected plant, a rare and endangered species that can't be chopped down."
"This type of tree can grow up to 30 meters tall. This fallen one is over 20 meters, and it's about a hundred years old."
"Fortunately, this is a fallen tree. If it were still standing, I wouldn't even dare chop it down."
Chen Yang felt incredibly lucky. At the same time, he realized just how much of a treasure his hometown's mountains were.
He had only explored a small portion of the area so far. The entire Southern Mountain was vast, and he hadn't ventured into the deeper parts. Who knew how many more treasures were waiting to be found?
"Master Chen's luck is really unbelievable. He just casually stumbles upon valuable things."
"I really want to know how much this fallen tree is worth."
"Just give us a price so we can move on!"
"In three minutes, I need all of Master Chen's personal information!"
"My dad has already prepared my dowry, Master Chen, when are you coming to marry me?"
"Back off, you shameless woman! Don't even think about it, Master Chen's mine!"
[Jia Tianxia]tipped 10 rockets and left a message: "Master Chen, are you interested in selling this Water Ash? We can have it appraised by a third-party agency to discuss the price."
"Jia Tian Xia, how much do you think this tree is worth?"
"Yeah, yeah, let us know so we can get a little jealous."
[Jia Tianxia]: "It's hard to say for sure, but if it's just the raw timber, it wouldn't be worth too much. This one, over 20 meters tall, might be worth around 500,000 yuan, not too expensive."
"500,000? Not too expensive…"
"Sorry to bother you, I'm leaving now!"
"Ever since I started watching Master Chen's livestream, I suddenly feel like 100,000 or 200,000 yuan isn't even a lot of money anymore. Who made me think this way?"
"Last night I bought egg fried rice from a street vendor. The owner said it was 8 yuan, but I gave him 10 and told him to keep the change. In that moment, I felt like this must be the mindset of a rich person."
[Jia Tianxia]couldn't help but laugh.
After reading Jia Tian Xia's comment, Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not planning on selling this Water Ash. My old house is falling apart, and this Water Ash will be perfect for remodeling the old house."
Hearing this, Jia Tian Xia felt a little disappointed.
"Master Chen, you're quite generous. If you sold the tree, the 500,000 yuan could definitely be enough to renovate your house."
"500,000 yuan could turn your house into the Forbidden City!"
"Master Chen, listen to me, sell it! You'll never use this thing."
The viewers were even more anxious than Chen Yang.
After all, to them, it was just a piece of wood.
Where would 500,000 yuan be as real as something like that?
