As a lustful man, it was perfectly normal to fantasize about living the blissful life of an ancient emperor. Such scenarios were common enough in modern society, but whether a man could achieve it all came down to his capabilities. In the future, it would become commonplace for a man to keep a beauty in a gilded cage, or even house hundreds of lovers in a single building, and those men were often already married.

This is all based on free love! Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Seeing his three girlfriends, each with their own divine beauty and unique charm, smiling gently in the relaxed atmosphere, Li Yuan’s mind suddenly drifted. A series of indescribable scenes, the kind that would get you a 404 error if written out, began to play in his head. An involuntary smirk that all men would understand crept onto his lips.

Zhong Tingyue noticed Li Yuan’s silly smirk and pouted. "Senior, what are you smiling about? You look like you’re having some indecent thoughts."

Only then did Li Yuan snap back to reality. Facing Zhong Tingyue’s knowing, half-smiling gaze, he felt as if he had been seen through and hastily made an excuse.

"Haha, I was just thinking about how many people registered for the Zhihu website today. In the future, who knows, maybe I could even be known as the Zhihu Founder and become an internet tycoon..."

A look of confusion appeared on Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful face at his earnest reply. Was that lecherous-looking smile really about the Zhihu website? Not some indecent thoughts? Did I get the wrong idea? she wondered, blushing as she recalled the intimate moments she had shared with Li Yuan the night before last.

Hearing Li Yuan’s answer, Bai Weixi asked curiously, "Brother, I see that the ’Kan Yi Dao’ game is spreading everywhere online. Does something like that cost a lot of money? How effective is it?"

Zhong Tingyue also leaned forward with an expectant look. "I find this model fascinating, too. It’s really good at drawing people in. Many students in my class are frantically forwarding it and inviting others to register. I think one girl actually succeeded. Senior, could you tell us about the ’Kan Yi Dao’ business model?"

Both Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi were in business-related majors, so they were naturally very interested in the marketing strategy of their "own" company. They had no doubts about Li Yuan’s abilities. Even though the talents he had displayed so far were in literature and music, they both firmly believed that he must also possess outstanding business acumen.

Only Xia Zhijin remained silent, quietly watching Li Yuan converse with Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Li Yuan was a little surprised by their intense interest in the business model, so he gave them a brief overview.

"For today’s Zhihu launch, I prepared a promotional fund of five million. First, I recruited some online promoters to spread the word on various forums and websites. Then, I launched the ’Kan Yi Dao’ model to pique users’ curiosity and their desire to make money, attracting them to register. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"This ’Kan Yi Dao’ model might seem simple, but it’s actually quite difficult to execute. Getting 100 brand-new users to sign up is no easy task."

Li Yuan looked at the three girls listening intently and asked with a smile, "If you wanted to use ’Kan Yi Dao’ to earn a hundred yuan, what would you do? And what do you think the benefits of this model are?"

Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Xia Zhijin all fell into deep thought at his question.

Li Yuan just smiled calmly. He was curious to see the business insights of these three highly intelligent top students. In terms of raw intelligence, none of these women from a 985 university were inferior to him. He knew that on his own merits, he could never have gotten into a 985 university. Even if he performed exceptionally well, he would have topped out at a top-tier 211 university.

After a moment, Bai Weixi spoke first, her voice a little nervous as she kept her gaze fixed on Li Yuan.

"Brother, if it were me, my first step would be to invite my relatives, friends, and classmates to help me with ’Kan Yi Dao.’ After that, I would register a few alt accounts.

"This ’Kan Yi Dao’ model spreads incredibly fast. The people who get in early can probably complete the task quickly. For those who come later, however, it will be much slower or even impossible to complete, because most of the people around them will have already registered. So, the number of people who actually complete the task might not be very high? This means the actual cost wouldn’t be that high, right?"

After she finished, Bai Weixi gazed at Li Yuan expectantly, awaiting his response.

Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi with genuine surprise. She really is a smart girl. The steps she proposed are exactly what most people would do. She even correctly identified that the model’s true strength is its rapid propagation.

He looked at Bai Weixi with admiration and chuckled, "Bai, you’ve got a sharp eye. You have real business talent!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s praise, Bai Weixi’s smile brightened, her face filled with a sense of validation.

"Little Moon, what do you think?" Li Yuan then turned to Zhong Tingyue, looking forward to her insights.

Zhong Tingyue blinked and replied with a giggle, "Weixi already said most of what I was thinking, so I won’t steal her thunder. I’ll just add my two cents, so don’t laugh at me, okay?"
