But what Mingyue said was undoubtedly a fantasy for Liujia Village, where there was only one landline phone in the entire village, and for the village chief who had never been online.
What? If you take some photos or videos and send them out, you will get money if more people see them. How is that possible
How could such a good thing happen in the world? There were no big stars in their village.
Although there were some things the village chief didn't understand, he knew that people should not daydream.
After a long while, the village chief said earnestly, "Yue Wa, you should be down-to-earth and don't dream of getting something for nothing. Now that you have graduated, you should find a stable job. Don't think about getting something for nothing, because that is impossible."
Aunt Xiu, who had just put the firewood on the stove, heard this as soon as she entered the house. She nodded in agreement, "That's right. Living a down-to-earth life is better than anything else. Don't aim too high or be lazy. Those things will not end well."
Mingyue felt a little helpless, but she also understood their feelings.
From their perspective, the only truly secure jobs are those of teachers, doctors, skilled workers, etc., which are iron rice bowls that can provide a lifetime of employment.
However, Liu Mingyue's wish is to make Liujia Village better, and to make many poor places like Liujia Village better, so Mingyue is destined to have no chance of a comfortable and ordinary life.
"Godfather and godmother, this will definitely work, that's why I told you. Look," Mingyue turned on her phone, clicked on one of her short video apps, pointed to the more than 8 million fans and said, "If I post anything, there will be 8 million people watching it. What does this mean? It's like if someone asks me to sell something, and any part of these 8 million people want to buy it, then the thing will be sold easily.
What’s more, it’s more cost-effective than advertising. Advertising on TV is short and expensive, but here I have a special video explaining the product in detail and clearly, and people can watch it again and again.”
She looked at the village chief and asked, "Father, if you were an advertiser, would you choose to advertise on TV or with me?"
The village chief's eyes widened when he saw the long list of fans. Eight million people! There were not so many people in their entire county.
However, "What if no one buys it? Wouldn't you have to return the advertising fee to them? It's impossible for them to give it to you for free. And if there is a problem with his product, wouldn't they hold you responsible?" The village chief quickly raised another question.
Mingyue shook her head and explained seriously: "First of all, it is impossible that no one will buy it. There will always be people who are interested in this thing. Secondly, my service to the merchants is to advertise for them. I have done what I should do by shooting this video. This money is not given to me for free. I have already served them. Finally, if there is a problem with the product, it must be the responsibility of the merchant. I am just a bridge between the merchant and the customer."
Aunt Xiu's eyebrows relaxed. "I understand. What you mean is that you only charge for advertising and don't care about other things, right?"
Mingyue nodded: "Yes, that's right. What I mean is that I want everyone in the village to be like me, shooting videos and other things to accumulate fans. When we have more fans in the future, we can help others sell things, and we can also sell the local specialties in our village. When we have money in the future, we will repair the roads in the village, renovate the houses, and let others spend money to experience life for themselves."
Whether it was the road construction or house repair mentioned by Mingyue, the village chief and his wife couldn't help but show longing in their eyes.
Liujia Village is so poor that the muddy roads in the village are impossible to walk on when it rains. The mud houses in the village leak when it is windy, and there are basins everywhere in the house to collect rainwater. It is really embarrassing.
If you can really make money by taking photos, it's such an easy job that I'm sure everyone in the village will rush to do it.
But it was precisely because this job was too easy that the village chief couldn't believe it.
He was afraid of getting nothing in the end and wasting the villagers' time, arousing public outrage, and losing his reputation. In Liujia Village, where he was born and raised, face was sometimes more important to him than anything else.
The village chief didn't say anything polite, and directly expressed his concerns: "I need to think about it again, Yuewa, I need to think about this matter carefully, because we have never encountered such a thing before. Although you say it easily, I still can't believe it."
Mingyue smiled and nodded, and persuaded again: "I know, but I'm only saying this because I'm absolutely sure. You see, I bought a car with this money, and it's parked outside now. And I also know that the elderly in the village have a hard time, so I've thought about it. I'll be responsible for the filming equipment, accounts, and so on, and I'll shoot and edit for you. You don't have to pay for anything, just provide people for me to shoot."
The expression on the village chief's face was very moved, but then he felt a little ashamed, thinking that he was such a grown-up, yet he still wanted to take advantage of a little girl.
Aunt Xiu was quick to react and refused immediately: "How can that be possible? How can we let a little kid like you do everything? If people tell others, it will be a disgrace to our ancestors."
The village chief finally came to his senses and agreed, "That's right. If we really want to do this, every household must invest some money. How can we just take advantage of you?"
Mingyue doesn't think that this is taking advantage of her. To put it bluntly, she has no ties in this world. She is just a passer-by in this dimension. Her only purpose is to fulfill the original owner's wish, and all the things she does are, after all, just measures taken to achieve her goal.
Mingyue's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said mischievously, "Don't say those polite words. Many elders in the village have taken care of me. It's only right for me to do something for you. I'll tell you the truth. I've bought all those things and I'm just waiting for your consent."
The village chief and Aunt Xiu looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but show a helpless expression on their faces.
The village chief said helplessly: "So you have thought it through, why are you asking me what to do?"
Mingyue blinked and said, "I just want you, godfather, to help me talk to the people in the village. They will all listen to you."
The village chief hesitated for a moment, and after a moment, he finally agreed.
Anyway, the busy farming season is over now, and the villagers have nothing to do anyway. If this thing can really be accomplished, it will be beneficial to everyone.
However, the village chief thought about it and decided that Mingyue could not be responsible for everything.
He has been the village chief for decades and knows the character of the people in the village best.
A pinch of rice brings gratitude, a pinch of rice brings enmity. Sometimes, giving people too much help is not a good thing.
Mingyue had no objection to this, as long as her goal was achieved.
