Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 207 The Troubles of Happiness
In mid-May, after Principal Wang posted a message on Weibo saying "Panda platform will be available to everyone soon, so stay tuned", the water in the live streaming industry became completely muddy.
In particular, there are many true and false news in the industry, such as which anchor has contacted the Panda platform, which anchor has been poached by the Panda platform, and so on.
Principal Wang's offensive was extremely fierce and ill-intentioned, posing a considerable threat to several other major live streaming platforms. In particular, Principal Wang used his invincible financial offensive, directly using his financial capital to attempt to define the live streaming table in his own way.
This simple and crude method is often the most effective. It is also a common means for capital to enter an industry. It is also very simple to summarize.
First, use the advantage of capital to carve out a huge market share, squeeze other competitors out of this field, and then slowly reap their own huge market share to recover their blood and recoup their investment hundreds or thousands of times.
This common practice is particularly common in many fields. It often uses concepts such as "free" and "high subsidies" to grab user groups, and then slowly reap the benefits after users develop habits.
Otherwise, free is the biggest scam on the Internet. When users have no choice but to use your product, what you should worry about is their wallets.
Just like the fierce takeaway war going on next door, ordering takeaways and getting free drinks, subsidies and discounts every day, quickly forming user habits, and then completely changing your lifestyle, becoming an indispensable choice for you...
Principal Wang’s approach to entering the live streaming industry is the same as when he integrated e-sports resources: his approach is distinctive, he is confident due to his wealth, and he has an arrogant demeanor when he sits at the table.
The scene is like that the several major platforms were just playing at the poker table in a lukewarm manner, with small bets being made back and forth, with wins and losses, and the atmosphere being harmonious, with everyone developing steadily.
Principal Wang came to the table like a nouveau riche and shouted directly: "What are you doing here if you don't have money? If you can't afford it, don't play. Give me all the chips, and I'll buy them at a premium!"
This confidence from his wealth and power has already made him a household name, and the key is that he really is rich. Don’t you feel angry?
The team of the Panda platform is indeed actively recruiting people, and the prices offered are very attractive. Most anchors find it difficult to resist the temptation of the Panda platform.
After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and this is Principal Wang's platform. Whether it is the title of National Husband or Secretary of the Entertainment Industry, Principal Wang is now very famous on social platforms.
Influenced by Principal Wang’s fame, some anchors will inevitably feel a yearning for it, and feel that it doesn’t matter which platform they live broadcast on, and it must be more enjoyable to live broadcast on Principal Wang’s platform, and at least... it will make more money.
In particular, many anchors come from grassroots backgrounds, and it is a fluke that they have caught the live broadcast industry boom. Who would have thought that they could be used as bargaining chips by capital?
This is not self-objectification, it is the embodiment of self-worth! Moreover, isn’t it human nature to seek profit and avoid harm to go wherever there is money to make? It’s just human nature.
Under the financial offensive of the Panda platform, other platforms are also feeling the pressure. If they want to retain the anchors on their platforms, they have to raise the prices. After all, if you don’t pay this price, others will.
The "Thousands of Broadcasters War" that has already caused a lot of controversy is now becoming increasingly intense, especially as some big broadcasters have gradually begun to realize that the trend of the times is right under their belts.
If you don’t raise the price now, when will you raise the price? If you don’t cash in now while you still have a certain amount of fans, you may never see the opportunity again in the future!
For a while, with all parties involved, the waters in the live streaming industry became increasingly muddy, didn't it?
On the Panda platform side , good news also came one after another. In addition to the fact that Dazhi, the top player on the Shark platform, has basically revealed his cards, the appearance and joining of Yin Suwan, the queen of the Korean live broadcast industry and the most beautiful anchor in Korea, also opened the eyes of the spectators.
"Wow, you are indeed Principal Wang. You are so rich that you even got a beautiful anchor from Korea."
"I know this Yin Suwan. There have been many videos of her dancing circulated on the Internet before. She was so hot, wow!"
"Principal Wang really understands men. He knows what kind of anchors men want to watch the most. I will be the first to register when the Panda platform goes online!"
"Compared to Yoon So-wan , all other dancers are just weak."
"When it comes to dancing, Korean girl groups are good at it, and the female anchors are even better."
"Tsk, they are all artificial beauties."
"You're just watching a live broadcast, why do you care whether it's artificial or not? You're not going to marry her!"
"It's pretty nice to want it. Even if you want to be the savior, you have to line up. I'll be the first one!"
…
The ability of silly netizens to make fun of others has always been high-intensity online, and the majority of people are just there to watch the fun. For the vast majority of netizens, they don’t care about the fighting between platforms.
Isn't it better to just be a fun person and surf the Internet? As for the platforms, the more lively the better, otherwise there will be no fun.
The Panda platform is not only poaching employees from the Shark platform, but also from other platforms like the Tiger Tooth platform and War Rider, and there is also a sense of mutual dependence among them.
Especially the current top player of Huchi platform, Liu, is not only a former player of Principal Wang's e-sports club, but also has a close relationship with Principal Wang and is also the anchor of a company invested by Principal Wang...
Recently, there have been many reports about Liu's job-hopping, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or not. Although Xiaorenren Media is not well-known in the public eye, it has a tendency to move closer to the vortex in the industry...
After all, there are not many anchors of Xiaorenmin Media, but they are equally distributed among all major platforms. If they are all poached by Principal Wang, it will be a good battle for Panda Platform to gain strength while losing strength.
Therefore, all major platforms naturally could not sit still, and the one who suffered was naturally the phone in Zhou Dongsheng's office. It has been ringing quite frequently recently, and all major platforms are trying to find out Zhou Dongsheng's attitude in roundabout ways.
At the same time, they also expressed their willingness to increase the price to renew the contract, and that everyone would continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship and so on. For example, if Xiaorenwu Media wanted to do any live broadcast programs, it would be no problem, and the platform would give strong support.
It is impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to just sit there and wait for the money to be earned. As a qualified businessman, he would definitely choose the one with the highest bid. After all, as Zhou Dongsheng has more and more chips, he becomes more and more confident.
Previously, I thought that I needed to play both sides of the major platforms to maximize my interests. Now it seems that this is still a bit immature. If I could hold a bargaining chip that even the platforms cannot ignore...
Why do you need to please both sides? This is also the idea that the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" gave Zhou Dongsheng, of course, it is just an idea at present.
After all, a game cannot be made in a short period of time, let alone it is still uncertain at the moment.
At this time, the phone on the table rang again. Zhou Dongsheng finally felt what the happy troubles were.
