Evening.

Jingzhou, Nameless Restaurant.

Li Shi, Xue Zhebin, and Yao Bo were enjoying drinks in a private room.

“Mr. Li, let me toast you first! Thanks to your information, I was able to create such an excellent promotional campaign using the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack and finally hold my head high in front of my father!”

“Thank you so much!”

Yao Bo from Golden Peak Group raised his glass and clinked it with Li Shi’s.

Li Shi smiled slightly: “We’re all Mr. Pei’s friends, it’s just a small matter not worth mentioning.”

“Besides, I was merely an intermediary passing along information. If we’re thanking anyone, we should all thank Mr. Pei.”

Lin Chang, Zhou Muyan, and Ding Gan weren’t present because their businesses weren’t in Jingzhou. After their secret meeting where they all extended helping hands to Mr. Pei, they had left Jingzhou to continue with their own affairs.

Golden Peak Group’s main business wasn’t in Jingzhou either, though they had some investments in the local area.

Yao Bo had stayed in Jingzhou partly to join Li Shi for this meal, which Li Shi had booked more than two months in advance, and partly to strengthen his relationships with Li Shi, Xue Zhebin, and other Jingzhou investors.

Originally, Yao Bo was just the owner of a GPL League team and didn’t have deep connections with people like Li Shi. But this incident had made him realize the importance of maintaining good relationships with Li Shi and others.

Because once you entered this circle, it meant firmly securing Mr. Pei’s support.

And with Mr. Pei’s support, how could there not be benefits?

To help Mr. Pei with his cash flow, Yao Bo had purchased a large quantity of Smart Fitness Clothes Racks and bundled them with Golden Peak Group’s fitness beverages and sportswear for marketing.

This marketing campaign offered extremely generous discounts, essentially losing money to gain publicity. Whether through random draws, cumulative purchase rewards, or direct package purchases, it was very cost-effective for consumers.

But Yao Bo also got what he needed: advertising effect and brand recognition!

Golden Peak Group was a well-established domestic fitness brand company, with its main business in fitness drinks and sportswear, along with some scattered investments.

Although their overall performance was acceptable with decent profits, there was still a huge gap compared to other major domestic brands.

Moreover, precisely because Golden Peak Group was an established company, they weren’t well-adapted to the current e-commerce trend. Their self-funded online mall was barely surviving, and their flagship stores on major shopping platforms were performing just average.

This made Yao Bo’s father, Golden Peak Group’s chairman Yao Jinming, deeply concerned.

But this time, with the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack marketing campaign, Golden Peak Group had staged a beautiful comeback!

At that time, the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack had been experiencing stock shortages. Many scalpers, seeing an opportunity for profit, had sprung into action, buying batches of racks to hoard and resell at inflated prices.

Some resentment had already emerged among netizens.

They resented the scalpers for hoarding stock and Outu Technology for insufficient inventory. Most importantly, they were frustrated because they wanted to buy but couldn’t, wanted to play but couldn’t.

At this critical moment, Golden Peak Group suddenly announced a joint promotion with the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack, releasing a total of four thousand units with extremely generous discounts, instantly winning netizens’ hearts!

Many netizens visited Golden Peak Group’s online mall to shop, causing a surge in electronic orders. Even those who didn’t buy or browse also became more familiar with Golden Peak Group through this incident. It was a marketing case study with excellent promotional effects.

Although they lost money on the products, they gained tremendously in reputation!

Compared to hiring celebrities as spokespeople, this type of activity was much more cost-effective for publicity!

This also allowed Yao Bo to hold his head high in front of his father, naturally filling him with gratitude toward Mr. Li and Mr. Pei.

Strictly speaking, the original inventory of Smart Fitness Clothes Racks would have been sufficient, but Yao Bo’s purchase of four thousand units made scalpers mistakenly believe the product was selling fast, causing panic buying and shortages.

Yao Bo then released all four thousand units he had purchased, leaving the scalpers dumbfounded.

So, they had essentially been duped by Yao Bo…

But who told them to be scalpers? They deserved it.

In this whole cycle, everyone except the scalpers benefited. It was truly a cause for celebration.

As the three were eating, Xue Zhebin suddenly said, “Hey! Look at this video!”

He sent the video link to Yao Bo and Li Shi.

Yao Bo opened it and found it was Lin Jiaqiang’s video announcing his presence on AiLiDao website.

In the video, Lin Jiaqiang first greeted the audience, introducing his new presence on AiLiDao, asking for likes, comments, shares, and follows. Then, he showed clips of his workouts and his weight changes over two weeks using the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack.

At the end of the video, he didn’t forget to make a concluding statement about the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack based on his personal experience.

“I think the biggest difference between the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack and conventional fitness methods is that it’s specially designed for ordinary people who want to exercise but lack willpower and foundation!”

“Actually, I’ve tried many ways to lose weight before, but with poor results. The biggest problem wasn’t whether I was exercising properly, but whether I could persist!”

“Without long-term persistence, it’s easy to rebound. But fitness is really boring, and it’s truly difficult to stick with it.”

“The Smart Fitness Clothes Rack, through its game, gave me the interest and motivation to keep going. Plus, the game creates different training plans based on each person’s physical condition, providing professional fitness guidance. While it might not be as good as a professional fitness trainer, compared to private coaching, its cost-performance ratio is definitely very high…”

“In short, I hope everyone can exercise more, stay healthy, and work out with me!”

The video had been released in the afternoon, and only a little over three hours had passed, but it was already trending!

Partly because AiLiDao had provided some promotional resources to support Lin Jiaqiang’s debut, but more importantly, Lin Jiaqiang’s video was extremely topical!

As a top supporting actor, Lin Jiaqiang was perceived by all viewers as that 200-plus-pound fat guy. While he was certainly recognizable, his physique was indeed very unhealthy.

Even when filming the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack commercial, although his weight had decreased significantly from when he was at his heaviest, he still appeared quite obese.

But now, just two weeks later, his physique had undergone a noticeable change.

Though still overweight, he looked much more solid, and his complexion had improved!

This undoubtedly shocked many netizens.

They knew the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack could help with weight loss, but could it really work this fast? Could the effects really be this good?

Lin Jiaqiang was essentially advertising in his first video, but few netizens minded.

Other celebrities had endorsed many products, but when introducing most products, they often gave the impression of “just doing it for the money.”

This was because the effects of using these products weren’t obvious enough, and they might not be suitable for all viewers.

But Lin Jiaqiang was different—he had genuinely lost quite a bit of weight!

Facts speak louder than words. If Lin Jiaqiang hadn’t slimmed down, his promotion for the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack wouldn’t have been convincing at all.

But Lin Jiaqiang had indeed lost weight, and he had posted clips of his daily workout check-ins. Wasn’t this enough to prove the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack’s exceptional effectiveness?

Moreover, fitness is a topic that interests everyone.

Who doesn’t want a good physique and a healthy body?

Many netizens who had been hesitating, after seeing that even someone like Lin Jiaqiang could lose weight with the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack, felt that they could definitely succeed too, and thus decided to place orders!

And those players who had already purchased the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack and experienced it deeply shared their insights and experiences, praising it endlessly.

So, after its initial release and a period of building anticipation, the Smart Fitness Clothes Rack welcomed a second wave of popularity!

Yao Bo couldn’t help but sigh: “Mr. Pei is truly a genius!”

“I thought hiring Lin Jiaqiang was purely for that humorous promotional video at the launch event. I didn’t expect there would be a follow-up plan!”
