Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 156 The Magic Car is Worth a Trillion
Although it is a seller's market now, Zhang Hongming cannot just sit there and wait for death, as business is always negotiated.
"After all, Principal Wang's current platform has not been built yet. The live broadcast era is changing with each passing day. Even if Xiao Sima is very popular now, if he doesn't take advantage of this popularity to accumulate popularity and lay a solid foundation...
Maybe by the time Principal Wang's platform is launched, Xiao Sima will have become one of the many anchors."
Zhang Hongming's ambiguous if he did not sign a contract with the Longzhu platform, he would definitely choose to hide Xiao Sima, at least he would not have the current popularity and attention on the Longzhu platform.
As for the fact that these words were not said explicitly, it naturally did not reach the point of being hostile. Then Zhang Hongming changed the subject.
“Although Principal Wang has a great influence in the e-sports circle, we on the Longzhu platform can also strive for things like official guest commentators .”
Zhang Hongming also chose to speak out, without any further ado, and directly stated the situation. This quick and decisive approach made Zhou Dongsheng silent for a moment.
"In addition to Principal Wang, other platforms are also very interested in Xiao Sima. We are still considering it. Although Xiao Sima is our anchor, we must also fully consider his better development."
Zhou Dongsheng played a blind eye, but Zhang Hongming knew it very well. The only reason why the cooperation failed was that the price was not right, and he just had to increase the price.
"Although we have a female leader on our Longzhu platform, the position of male leader is still vacant. We are also optimistic about Xiao Sima's professionalism in the field of League of Legends. As long as he signs a contract with our platform, there will definitely be no shortage of relevant support."
"As for the signing fee, our Longzhu platform has received financing from both Tengda and Ruanyin Capital, so our sincerity in this regard is no less than that of other platforms."
Zhang Hongming said confidently that as the helmsman of the Longzhu platform, he is confident in his company's strength and has the capital to be confident.
"According to Mr. Zhang, it seems that I have no other choice but to sign a contract with you?" Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said indifferently.
"I believe Mr. Zhou is a smart man and knows what choice to make to maximize benefits. At present, our Longzhu platform is indeed the most suitable stage for Xiao Sima. No matter how you change the platform, it will affect his popularity."
"What's more, other platforms are not short of top players!"
Zhang Hongming said calmly.
"Okay, I will seriously consider Mr. Zhang's suggestion. After discussing with Xiao Sima and the shareholders, I will contact Mr. Zhang again." Zhou Dongsheng gave an undeniable answer.
"Of course I am. Then I will wait for good news from Mr. Zhou." Zhang Hongming said with a smile, and then the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting and hung up the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, the boss is the boss, he still has something."
Zhang Hongming's incisive analysis of the interests involved really gave Zhou Dongsheng a refreshing feeling. It was not only a matter of signing fees, but also the limitations of the traffic pools of major platforms.
Just like the future direction of the live streaming industry, although Shark and Tigertooth platforms have also faced the situation of many leading anchors leaving and being seriously damaged.
However, they are still able to replace the old with the new, and the ones who have the last laugh in the end are Shark and Tiger Tooth. This is because they rely on the traffic advantage and the matching ability to create idols that other platforms do not have.
Of course, this is also related to the traffic channels that Tengda Capital has access to. Although Tengda’s traffic channels are the best on the Internet, it also depends on how they are used. Didn’t Longzhu fail to use them to any purpose?
At present, there is not a huge gap in traffic between major platforms, but there are already many big and small fish on platforms such as Shark and Tiger Tooth, and the space is very limited.
If Principal Wang’s platform can be launched immediately, that would naturally be the best solution. After all, the initial traffic of the Panda platform is still quite strong!
Otherwise, Liu would not have become fat and bloated, and turned into a real pig.
After thinking about it, Zhou Dongsheng sighed again, "The boss's insights are unique. It seems that I still have to choose the Longzhu platform."
Although Zhou Dongsheng had already made a decision, he was not in a hurry at all. There was no need to rush to deliver this matter, so he would wait for a day or two.
Obviously, deep down in his heart, Zhou Dongsheng still felt a little bit unwilling to accept it. This feeling of being controlled by others was indeed a bit unpleasant.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is making a lot of money anyway, after all, Xiao Sima is now a big anchor with an annual salary of tens of millions.
However, Zhou Dongsheng still felt a little unhappy. It seemed that things had been going too smoothly recently and he had become a little too proud. He needed to continue to grow bigger and stronger.
If I can't make it big, I'll just cash out and leave the market. Anyway, I won't lose anything, Zhou Dongsheng consoled himself in his heart.
But Zhou Dongsheng may not have realized that the ambition he had planted before had already begun to take root...
The next day, news spread that the Longzhu platform had spent tens of millions of dollars in annual salary to sign the popular anchor Wu Hu Xiao Sima, and the news spread widely in the industry and the gaming circle.
How many anchors have claimed to have an annual salary of tens of millions? Gamers have already lost count, and vaguely feel that "tens of millions" seems to be an insignificant unit.
After all, these anchors just play games live in front of the computer every day, talk nonsense, and make money easily.
Is it really that easy to make money from live streaming? Even tens of millions is not considered money?
Of course, this is just a kind of survivor bias. After all, in an industry, only those people at the top of the pyramid are widely known, and the "hundreds of thousands of bones broken" behind the "success of one general" are always subconsciously ignored.
However, during this crazy week in the stock market, the Internet was filled with investors' carnival, and the heat and traffic were basically concentrated on stock market topics.
The popularity of the Longzhu platform spending lavishly was overshadowed in this crazy week for the stock market. The market leader CRRC held its head high and embarked on a trend of five consecutive positive days.
Driven by CRRC, the entire stock market is exceptionally high, and even the A-share index has reached 4,300 points!
Under the watchful eyes of the public, CRRC continued to soar and directly reached a market value of one trillion yuan, making history!
The whole market was extremely enthusiastic and everyone was shouting “God Car”. CRRC became a god in one fell swoop!
As the entire market is full of crazy boasting and bullish trends, countless retail investors feel that the trillion-dollar "magic car" is just the beginning, there is no end to the magic car, and our journey is to the stars and the sea!
The retail investors and institutions on the bus were praising the stock crazily, while the retail investors under the bus were scratching their heads, drooling over the closing price of 34.77 yuan on Friday. Next week, I must get on the bus!
Huang Shiyu looked at the market this week and couldn't help but secretly regret. Why did he wait and see? If he had jumped on the train decisively, he would have already had a profit of 3/40 points in his hands. Wouldn't he be happy?
As an old investor, now that I see the magic cars are getting taller and taller, I am less willing to buy them. After all... everyone who is afraid of heights is a miserable person!
"Let's wait and see next week. Maybe one trillion will be a turning point." This is the only way Huang Shiyu could comfort himself.
On the other hand, when the magic car finally succeeded in breaking through one trillion, Zhou Dongsheng knew it was time to run away!
The A-shares with a value of 5,000 points and CRRC with a value of one trillion yuan are the two few fuses that Zhou Dongsheng has in his hands. If they are touched, he must run away without any hesitation.
Because hesitation will lead to defeat!
