Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 196: Still in good shape
After the May Day holiday, colleagues at Little People Media have already returned to work despite the holiday syndrome.
Unlike the boss Zhou Dongsheng who was so free and easy, he only appeared in the company slowly a few days after the holiday, with a beautiful lady following him closely.
Xu Kaidao, who heard the noise, immediately came over with a smile on his face, "Boss, you're back."
Looking at his chief steward, Zhou Dongsheng patted Xu Kaidao's shoulder with satisfaction and asked, "Is there anything going on in the company recently?"
"According to the boss's plan, everything is going very smoothly. However, there are a few small matters that I would like to ask the boss for his opinion on."
"Okay, come to my office and have a chat." Zhou Dongsheng said indifferently.
After all, if there was something urgent, they would definitely contact me as soon as possible. It’s not a big deal to wait until now.
As Zhou Dongsheng expected, Xu Kaidao's report was basically about the latest situation of the company's anchors, as well as the growth data and fans.
After finishing the brief report, Xu Kaidao hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, Boss, Yang Zimi's food videos on Weibo have been widely praised. Some businesses have already come to us and asked for business cooperation..."
"Don't worry about monetizing the traffic. Let's first work on the character of [Big Stomach Prince Mi] and then think about monetization. I don't want to ruin the title of 'No. 1 Eating Broadcaster'."
Traffic monetization is a perennial topic on the Internet. Even Internet giants have encountered such difficulties in the early stages of their business.
Just like Tenda back then, even though it had a traffic gold mine like social software, it took a lot of detours before finding the right monetization channel.
Before this, they were so desperate that they even came up with the weird idea of asking users to spend money to apply for an account...
If this is the case for the giants, what about the small media? As for how to monetize the traffic, they still have to work out step by step.
For an IP like [Big Stomach Prince Secret], at least the basic traffic base must be stabilized before considering the issue of traffic monetization.
Especially since the field of food broadcasting is just starting out now, if you want to firmly establish the title of "the No. 1 food broadcaster" and grow it into another money-making tree for Little People Media, you can't be impatient.
As for how to consolidate the basic base, it naturally depends on content output, and continuous high-quality output. Only in this way can we seize the food broadcasting traffic that is still in its infancy and consolidate our own basic base.
Content is king, and it is also one of the unchanging elements on the Internet.
Fortunately, the field of food broadcasting has just emerged and is full of novelty. The audience is open to all and has not yet developed picky tastes, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the content.
However, for [Big Stomach Prince Secret] alone is not enough. Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and said, "In my opinion, there is still a lot of room for development in the field of food. We can set up a recruitment plan to tap more talents in this field."
"It is not limited to eating broadcasts, but can also include food making, rural wild food and other video creations centered around the concept of food. The food industry can be developed as a long-term business."
"After all, everything goes out of style, but food never does."
Xu Kaidao nodded sincerely upon hearing this, "I know what to do, boss."
Zhou Dongsheng just wanted to get back on track as his vacation was coming to an end, so he just wanted to warm himself up without thinking twice.
The best thing about being a hands-off boss is that as long as Zhou Dongsheng doesn't do something stupid and drive the car into the bottomless abyss, at least there's no need to worry about the car breaking down.
After Xu Kaidao went downstairs, the office door was knocked again. When Liu's familiar pig head appeared, Zhou Dongsheng was also slightly surprised.
"Aren't you in the Magic City? When did you come here?"
Liu smiled, touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Boss, I'm here to say goodbye to you this time."
Zhou Dongsheng's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? Was he poached by Principal Wang?
"In order to balance the club's affairs, I plan to return to Shanghai to continue my live broadcasting, so I don't have to run back and forth."
Zhou Dongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought his home had been robbed, but it turned out that he was just broadcasting live in a different place.
"If you have this idea, I definitely support you. Have you rented the place?" Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly. After all, Liu is also a well-deserved veteran of Xiaorenmin Media.
"I found the place when I was looking for the club. After all, I am quite familiar with the place. I just thought I had to tell you, the boss, in person." Liu touched his head.
"By the way, boss, we've signed that Korean kid. Even though he's a street king, he's just an ordinary youth player on WE's side. I have a pretty good relationship with them, so they gave him to us after I mentioned it to them."
"But boss, how did you notice such a player? He is quite inconspicuous." Liu asked curiously.
"I noticed him after watching his videos. He seems to be quite talented. He has a promising future, just like Yu Wenbo. I'll just treat him as a bet. It won't be a loss to train him first. If he can't play in the competition, he can just do live streaming first."
Now Jiang Chenglu is just an ordinary 16-year-old street king. If he is signed in advance, he will no longer appear in the anchor room of the IG veteran and stand like a nameless minion.
Perhaps, there would be no more accidents causing serious hand injuries and almost ruining his career.
But I wonder if he is stronger after the injury or before the injury? Zhou Dongsheng has a little expectation for this. After all, the famous scene of the gods descending to earth in 2018 is too exciting for every player who loves this game.
It is precisely because of the darkness before dawn that the dawn seems particularly bright. As for why Zhou Dongsheng did not fantasize about training a championship team in advance.
That’s because all League players understand it. In 2015, the Demon King returned. In 2016, they won the Triple Crown. In 2017, the Demon King shed tears while looking back at the arena. Through the screen, countless players can still feel his innocent heart.
Rebirth is not omnipotent. If Zhou Dongsheng has his own e-sports system, he can take it step by step. Otherwise, it is too difficult to pull the teeth out of the tiger's mouth.
And if there was no foreshadowing of the darkest hour, how could the first crown symbolizing dawn appear so dazzling?
Just like the classic quote left by the commentator in 2017, "Maybe one day we will lose confidence in League of Legends e-sports..."
"By the way, boss, apart from our company's own exclusive sponsorship, the club has not discussed any other sponsorship..." At this point, Liu's tone seemed a little guilty.
"Isn't this normal? In e-sports, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. A new team that is unknown and has been promoted to LPL by chance, what commercial value does it have?"
"Once you achieve good results, applause and money will come to you naturally."
"Before you win the championship, all the reasons are just excuses."
Zhou Dongsheng said this ambitiously and quoted the famous saying of the coach who founded the dynasty club.
Liu couldn't help but get excited after hearing this. "Sure enough, Boss, you understand e-sports. I will definitely work hard to make IM Club achieve good results."
Zhou Dongsheng patted Liu's shoulder with relief and said, "I believe you."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that my skills are still as good as ever. My ability to deceive people has not diminished at all, and I'm even getting better with age.
