Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 087 It’s not about money
Zhou Dongsheng was not very surprised when he received the call from Pan Qihuang. After all, after his guidance, Bao Xiang's live broadcast became more popular.
If the Zhanqi platform does not respond, other platforms will probably react. After all, popular game anchors are scarce resources for the platforms.
In addition, with Principal Wang's aggressive approach, all major platforms have accelerated the progress of digging out their own platform moats and consolidating their own platform traffic, and the Zhanqi platform is naturally no exception.
"Mr. Pan, how are you?" Zhou Dongsheng answered the phone and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou. Everything is fine. This time I came to you to discuss cooperation with you." Pan Qihuang did not waste time and went straight to the point.
"Oh? Hasn't our company always been in a cooperative relationship with your platform? Several anchors are doing very well in live broadcasts!" Zhou Dongsheng knew it clearly in his mind, but he still pretended to be surprised.
Pan Qihuang felt bitter, but he had to follow the conversation, "It is a pleasant cooperation, so I want to deepen the cooperation with your company, especially since several anchors have been live streaming for a while, do you think it is time to sign a contract?"
"Why sign a contract? Didn't we agree to test the waters on your platform? Just consider it as a gesture of sincerity in our cooperation. If Mr. Pan is not satisfied, I'll give you another batch." Zhou Dongsheng said casually.
Pan Qihuang complained in his heart, you thought you were in the club, and they changed a new batch. Although such a big platform does not lack a few anchors.
But Vincent is now on the rise and has great popularity, and he has made his mark on his own platform . If he can’t even retain his influence, how can he compete with other platforms for market share in the field of game live streaming?
So Pan Qihuang had to keep Vincent, so Pan Qihuang could only speak politely.
"We have already felt Mr. Zhou's sincerity, so we can't let him suffer a loss. Business is business, and we still have to pay him. What do you think of an annual salary of 5 million?"
In order to show his sincerity, Pan Qihuang did not hesitate to hand over his chips first, which raised Vincent's value a lot in one go.
If it were before, Zhou Dongsheng would have agreed without hesitation, but now that he has such a good opportunity , how can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't make good use of it?
"This price is very sincere. I really want to agree to it, but Mr. Pan also knows that Principal Wang is a shareholder of our company. Principal Wang likes the anchor Vincent very much..."
"Why don't we talk about money? Just treat it as making friends with Mr. Pan. Vincent will continue to let you use the platform for a while, and then give it to Principal Wang when the time comes!"
Pan Qihuang was a little annoyed when he heard this. What did that mean? Training anchors for competitors, right? Even though he knew it was Zhou Dongsheng's way of raising the price, Pan Qihuang had to fall for it.
"Principal Wang has a big family and a lot of money, so why would he care about such a host? Just give us the platform. Can we negotiate the price if you are not satisfied? How about 6 million?"
"That's not what I meant, Mr. Pan..."
"Seven million……"
“It’s really not about the money…”
"Eight million, no more!"
"You're really putting me in a difficult position. How am I going to explain this to my shareholders..."
"Nine million! This is my final offer!"
"make a deal!"
Zhou Dongsheng said with a refreshed look, "This business is comfortable!" The price was raised, and Vincent was raised to a height that did not belong to him.
But rare goods are valuable, and because of the news announced by Principal Wang, Zhou Dongsheng just happened to have grasped the idea of the Zhanqi platform, so he raised the price a little.
The price of Vincent in the future will definitely be higher than this, but at the moment this price is already a premium, and Zhou Dongsheng is satisfied with his small trial run.
When Pan Qihuang heard Zhou Dongsheng say "deal", he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cheated. However, things had already come to this point, so he couldn't go back on his word, right?
"Mr. Zhou is really good at doing business. Just consider this as a token of my sincerity in making friends with Mr. Zhou. I hope we can cooperate well in the future!"
Pan Qihuang could only bite the bullet and speak frankly, and Zhou Dongsheng, who had taken advantage, decided to quit while he was ahead.
"sure!"
Then he hung up the phone. Another anchor with an annual salary of tens of millions was born from Xiaorenwu Media. Since the Zhanqi platform has spent money, it will definitely publicize it heavily.
In this "Thousands of Broadcast Wars" launched by several major platforms, the Little People Media Company has gained some advantages .
This was also achieved by Zhou Dongsheng doing his best to plan ahead. After all, the capital of several major platforms was not jealous, and big anchors like Dazhi and Miss never appeared in Zhou Dongsheng's plan.
After all, one can earn tens of millions just by making videos. Even if one spends a lot of effort to sign them, the earnings will be far less than these potential stocks.
Spending little money to make big money is Zhou Dongsheng’s strategic approach.
Zhou Dongsheng then told Xu Kaidao the news, and he no longer needed to worry about the signing matters.
After receiving the news, Xu Kaidao admired Zhou Dongsheng more and more. Although the boss was young, he always had the ability to turn decay into magic.
Because Zhou Dongsheng had instructed him to sign these anchors, he initially felt that the conditions were a bit too high and was still skeptical.
After all, what commercial value does being good at playing games really have? Retired players can still say they have the halo of e-sports, but what about these ordinary players?
However, the reality was before him. Xu Kaidao went from being skeptical to being convinced. He had completely ignored his boss' age and was completely convinced.
It seems that I am a little behind the times, but as long as I am willing to learn, it is never too late. This is also the experience of Xu Kaidao in his many years of work in the Internet industry.
After all, if you want to stay in the ever-changing Internet industry, those who are unwilling to accept and learn will be eliminated sooner or later.
Just when Zhou Dongsheng was still immersed in the joy of having made a fortune from the Zhanqi platform, the phone rang again.
When I picked up the phone, a familiar voice came over.
"Hello, boss. I'm Han Jinglong, also known as Wuhu Sima, and our company's game anchor!" Han Jinglong said somewhat stiffly.
Han Jinglong mustered up his courage to make this call, but just like a line from his favorite hero, Kha'Zix: Change is a good thing!
The call to Zhou Dongsheng was to seek change.
"Hello, Teacher Ma. Are you having any problems?" Zhou Dongsheng reacted. No wonder the voice sounded so familiar.
Although Mr. Ma was not one of the three mythical gods in the early live broadcast industry, he could definitely be called the three giants of ghost animal broadcasting together with Liu and Curly-haired Baboon.
"I don't deserve it. You are too polite, boss. I am not a teacher. I just want to ask you some questions about the live broadcast." Han Jinglong was a little flattered and said seriously.
At this moment, Han Jinglong had not yet started the persona of a "gold medal lecturer", nor had he mastered his own live broadcast skill, Skin Breathing. He spoke too seriously, which made Zhou Dongsheng very uncomfortable.
However, after hearing Han Jinglong's words, Zhou Dongsheng fell into deep thought. Signing Han Jinglong was also one of Zhou Dongsheng's trump cards. After all, Mr. Ma became famous relatively late.
It was not until the curly-haired baboon, one of the three mythical gods, left the stage of history that Teacher Ma started to enjoy the upswing in his live streaming career.
Should I reveal this trump card in advance? This is a question.
