Chapter 249 Ordinary Person Noah
"Why not? You've already shown your face on Douyu, and now your real photos and videos are spread all over the internet," Noah said with a slight smile. "Are you planning to hide your face while streaming here?"
"Fine, I'll stream with my face showing!" Hailey thought for a moment before gritting her teeth and agreeing.
At this point, hiding her face was pointless. She might as well show it. Many viewers who loved watching live streams were already following her. She had a large fan base and a lot of traffic, even if most of it was negative.
Showing her face wouldn't cost her anything. With the current buzz, even if people thought she was ugly or called her a fraud, the gifts she received would far exceed those of an average female streamer.
"Good," Noah nodded, pleased with Hailey's decision.
Noah's demand actually carried another intention. If Hailey streamed on Facebook Live with her face hidden and got discovered, it would tarnish Facebook Live's reputation.
"Since Mr. Anderson agrees, Hailey, please go to the next room to sign the contract," the HR manager said.
"Alright!" Hailey stepped out.
About ten minutes later, Noah finally finished the interview.
Stretching, he said, "I've handled everything here. I need to head back. By the way, Hailey is worth investing in."
"Don't worry, Mr. Anderson, I understand," Hazel, the supervisor, replied, "Once Hailey joins Facebook Live, the news will spread quickly, and within days, we'll be trending on Twitter. Our platform's audience will surge again!"
Noah nodded. Before leaving, he transferred $2 billion to the company account. This money would be not only used to recruit two top gaming streamers, but also to invest in the 'I'm a Super Rich' show, and for promotional activities and buying trending news.
To get Facebook Live listed within a year, all necessary conditions must be met.
Audience, top streamers, public opinion, brand recognition, advertisers, and partners—all required significant investment.
After the transfer, Noah left the company. He had initially planned to call Lily to inquire about the Winchester Family's logistics situation. He wanted to establish a logistics partnership with them and needed to understand the family better.
But before that, Noah decided to visit the Evergreen Market headquarters to check on things there.
The Evergreen Market headquarters was located in Building 2 of Fortune Plaza.
Half an hour later, Noah arrived and took the elevator to Timothy's office.
"Mr. Anderson!" Timothy and Kenneth stood up to greet Noah.
"Busy here?" Noah noticed the desk covered with various documents and contracts.
"Yes," Kenneth replied, "I just reviewed the financial report. Evergreen Market's current situation is not optimistic. After paying off the supplier debts, we need to build trust with suppliers for future cooperation. Also, Evergreen Market's overall image needs a revamp. Previously, the products were very expensive, targeting affluent customers. I suggest selling items that ordinary people can afford and holding more promotions and discount events."
Kenneth had taken over as the financial manager of Evergreen Market and immediately started discussing its future development with Timothy.
"Nice suggestion. When I was at Evergreen Market, tuna was hundreds of dollars per pound. Seriously, who would buy at such high prices? And the sales staff were very unprofessional. I hope you can implement effective measures to improve Evergreen Market's image," Noah said to Timothy.
"Mr. Anderson, rest assured. I spent all last night thinking about Evergreen Market's development path. Kenneth's suggestions align perfectly with my thoughts," Timothy nodded.
"Alright, how much does the supermarket need?" Noah asked.
"I roughly calculated, it's about $100 million," Kenneth replied after some thought. "This money will be used to purchase items the supermarket previously lacked and to manage relationships with suppliers."
"Okay!" Noah didn't hesitate and transferred $100 million to Kenneth's financial department account.
After the transfer, Noah said, "Work hard and make benefits for the company, I won't let you down!"
"Yes, Mr. Anderson!" Kenneth nodded.
Timothy's eyes showed excitement. Kenneth had already shared Noah's goal with him: to make Evergreen Market a listed company within a year.
This was something Timothy had never dared to dream of. He had founded Evergreen Market, investing countless effort and energy.
Although Noah was now the actual owner, Timothy was the top manager, watching Evergreen Market move towards listing. How could he not be excited?
"Mr. Anderson, rest assured. Your goal is my goal!" Timothy said solemnly, "I will work hard to achieve your goal!"
Noah nodded without saying more. He only cared about results. Empty promises meant nothing to him. If Timothy failed to meet his targets in a month, Noah would replace him.
Leaving Fortune Plaza, Noah prepared to head home. He walked towards his car.
"Excuse me, sir!" A voice suddenly called from behind.
Noah turned to see a young woman smiling at him. She had short hair and wore jeans, giving off a confident and energetic vibe. She held a camera in her left hand and a microphone in her right, with a badge hanging from her chest that read "Press Pass."
"Hello," Noah said curiously, "What's up?"
"I'm Ally Vaughn from Oceanbridge City TV. Here's the thing," Ally smiled and introduced, "Our TV station is currently filming a reality show called 'I'm a Super Rich.' The show's concept is to randomly select thirty ordinary people and give them $10 million to turn them into millionaires."
"So, you mean I've been selected?" Noah's lips curled into a surprised smile. He was the chief sponsor of 'I'm a Super Rich,' yet he hadn't expected the show to invite him to participate.
"Yes, sir. Congratulations! To avoid any suspicion that I'm a scammer, you can check my press pass," Ally said, handing her press pass to Noah.
She understood that suddenly offering $10 million to a stranger would naturally raise doubts about being a scam.
"No need," Noah waved his hand. "Just tell me the conditions."
Ally was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that Noah's ordinary attire meant that even if she were a scammer, she wouldn't get much from him. Hence, he acted calmly.
Besides, 'I'm a Super Rich' was looking for ordinary people, which Noah perfectly fit.
"Sir, are you an ordinary person?" Ally asked with a smile.
