An Chengxi was overjoyed beyond measure, and Sister Dawn and Stephen Thompson beside her were equally thrilled.
No one had ever imagined such a tactic.
If Lin Wan’er and Wu Fiona’s story were truly made into a short drama, the Wu family seeing it would likely drive them to despair, and Wu Fiona seeing it would likely send her into a rage!
A simple scheme could trap the alliance between the Wu family and Wu Fiona in a quagmire of internal strife; it was the epitome of achieving much with little effort!
Thus, An Chengxi asked her: “Senior, if you are truly willing to have these turned into a short drama, then this junior can handle it on your behalf and find a reliable team to bring it to fruition!”
Lin Wan’er laughed: “Mrs Wade, neither you nor I need to intervene directly in this matter, lest we leave any clues. Moreover, having just one team produce it would still be too small-scale.”
An Chengxi could not help but ask: “Then what is senior’s idea?”
Lin Wan’er said: “This little woman’s idea is for me to personally write our story as a script, then publish the script online. Next, take out five hundred bitcoins and hand them to the dark web; let the dark web organise a themed competition. The competition’s content would be that anyone in the world who makes short dramas can freely adapt this script. Whichever version gets the highest views and broadest influence wins three hundred of those bitcoins; second place gets one hundred, third place fifty, and fourth to thirteenth places get five each.”
As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow: “Five hundred bitcoins, at current prices, amount to about sixty million US dollars or four hundred million RMB. The cost of a short drama is actually just a few hundred thousand RMB at most, a few million tops. Even if one only gets five bitcoins, that is still six hundred thousand US dollars. I believe this temptation would be considerable. Moreover, the dark web’s intermediary services are always trustworthy: as long as the bitcoins are transferred to them and they receive their 10% fee as agreed, they will naturally adhere strictly to the terms and ensure the competition’s fairness. Once the dark web spreads the word, no one will worry about the contest being unfair or prizes not being awarded.”
“At that time, the world might suddenly see hundreds of short dramas emerge, all depicting my story with Wu Fiona. Such an information bombardment would be something Wu Fiona and the Wu family could scarcely avoid.”
An Chengxi nodded repeatedly in excitement, sighing in admiration: “Senior’s strategy is utterly brilliant! Moreover, using bitcoins on the dark web to post the bounty leaves no clues for Wu Fiona. Even if she flies into a thunderous rage then, she would be utterly helpless. As for audiences worldwide, they would only see this short drama as a fabricated tale; no one would link it to reality. It truly brings a hundred benefits with not a single harm! Senior’s stratagems leave this junior in complete awe!”
Lin Wan’er smiled faintly: “This little woman was also inspired by Mrs Wade; it was only upon meeting you that I suddenly realised how exhausting and foolish it has been to hide continuously for over three hundred years. Better to change tactics altogether, switch from defence to offence. Wu Fiona has made me suffer so much; it is time she tasted it too!”
