Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 230 Intrigue
"I'm already recruiting, and I will definitely recruit a more reliable one." Liu patted his chest and promised.
Liu had never neglected this player whom Zhou Dongsheng specifically requested. After all, Yu Wenbo was also brought in by Zhou Dongsheng, and he played a miraculous role, helping Liu realize his dream of owning an LPL team.
"And the same goes for Yu Wenbo. Train well and keep in shape. It takes ten years of hard work to be one minute on stage. If you're afraid that I'll sell you out, just try to become number one in the Korean server and show me. I promise I won't sell you out." Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
Yu Wenbo believed it and promised solemnly: "No problem, boss, I will not only take the first place in the Korean server, but also the first place in the national server!"
"It's okay, boss. Although I can't play in the LPL due to my age, I can let Yu Wenbo lead the team in national e-sports competitions and city competitions. Oh, and theshy can be used too."
"Didn't the boss say before that we should form a second team? The two of them are enough to form a second team. Maybe we can even find some young players with potential."
After all, he is the principal of the Huangpu Military Academy of e-sports. Liu is particularly enthusiastic when talking about youth training. If IM wants to gain a foothold in LPL, youth training is also an indispensable link.
Speaking of Liu's old profession, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but be moved. After all, there are many talented e-sports players under Liu.
Not only is there a second-generation champion jungler, but also a "golden left hand" mid laner, and PDD's second-generation top laner...
"No problem, just go ahead and do this. I trust you. If the money is not enough, I will pay for it out of my own pocket." Zhou Dongsheng gave his guarantee.
As the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat. When it comes to making money, no amount is too much.
"Great boss, it doesn't cost much. Live streaming is making a lot of money recently, and I can pay a little myself." Liu scratched his head and said.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally understood what he meant. "No problem, just do whatever you want. Let's go, pack up and go eat a hot pot restaurant. I heard this restaurant is pretty good."
Zhou Dongsheng did not show favoritism and called all the club staff together , and a group of people went to Xintiandi in a mighty manner.
Just as everyone in the IM club was drinking and chatting happily, enjoying the 1,000-yuan-per-person hotpot in the villa, the long-awaited Panda platform was officially launched for internal testing in the evening.
Despite using hunger marketing tactics and issuing limited activation codes, it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of many viewers, and for a time the activation codes on the market were sold at high prices.
After all, the reputation of the "national husband" and the lavish lottery have made the audience's expectations for the launch of the Panda platform unprecedentedly high.
Principal Wang also shared information on Weibo at the right time, "The Panda platform will officially start internal testing at 7 o'clock tonight. At that time, viewers with activation codes can enter the platform to participate in the lucky . I will also be the first anchor on the platform."
In just a few minutes, this Weibo post had already received over a thousand replies, one of which was highly praised: "Buy an activation code online for a high price!"
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, the Panda platform was officially launched, and the lucky viewers with the activation code couldn't wait to enter the Panda platform.
At first glance, the interface and design of the Panda platform do not differ significantly from other mainstream live streaming platforms; it can even be said that they are cut from the same mold.
After all, this is a live broadcast interface design that has been tested in the market, and Principal Wang did not make a big fuss about it. The most important thing is that the audience is familiar with it and can use it.
In addition, the Panda platform, which is still in the internal testing stage, has not revealed its assets at once. The live broadcast room ranked first is actually Principal Wang’s own.
While he was playing a game live, a large number of viewers flocked into the live broadcast room. Principal Wang also chatted with the audience with a smile and answered some questions that the audience were concerned about.
"Dazhi, his contract with the Sharks is about to end. When the time comes, he will come directly to the Panda platform to live broadcast. Everyone can look forward to it."
"In addition to Gao Li, the female anchor, I have also signed a girl group, and we will meet you all when the platform is officially launched."
“By the way, I have also contacted some of the celebrity friends you are looking forward to. If you want to watch the celebrity’s first live show, please pay attention to the Panda platform.”
Principal Wang chatted with the comments in a relaxed tone, and the explosive news made the audience say that the trip was worthwhile. I believe that it won’t be long before these news will spread on the Internet, further building momentum for the Panda platform.
In addition to Principal Wang personally doing the live broadcast, the Panda platform naturally also had some other anchors online to warm up, including the two female anchors signed by Principal Wang in "Hello Female Anchor".
Su Su, who is also known as Su Daji, and Shen Fu, the queen who is deeply rooted in people's hearts for her cheongsam outfit, have become second only to Yang Zimi in popularity since they gained popularity and topicality on the show "Hello Female Anchor".
The stunning debut of this live broadcast was a feast for the eyes for many viewers, and the popularity of the live broadcast room was second only to Principal Wang.
In addition, some professional players under Principal Wang and some friends in the circle came to support the live broadcast, and the internal testing scene of the Panda platform was also very lively.
As some viewers with activation codes spread the live broadcast images on the platform and the news mentioned by Principal Wang like tap water, they further built momentum for the Panda platform.
It has to be said that this wave of hunger marketing was quite successful and aroused the expectations of many viewers. They left messages on Principal Wang’s Weibo, urging the platform to go online as soon as possible.
In response to this, Principal Wang also posted on Weibo that within half a month, the Panda platform will be officially launched and meet everyone.
The news of the internal testing of the Panda platform has also attracted a lot of attention in the industry, especially from the major live streaming platforms that regard it as a strong rival.
Although the strong presence of the Panda platform will further broaden the audience of live streaming, this aggressive momentum will inevitably have an impact on the audiences of major live streaming platforms.
Therefore, major live streaming platforms have also prepared a number of measures to hedge risks. Among them, the Longzhu platform took the lead and announced the news of holding the first e-sports goddess invitational tournament.
As the first offline women's e-sports event in China, this event hosted and launched by the Longzhu platform is full of gimmicks and has attracted the attention of many viewers.
Although there are quite a few girls playing games nowadays, there are definitely very few girls who are good at playing games, and those who are good at playing games and good-looking are even rarer.
This law does not distinguish between men and women. After all, human energy is limited. If you can make a living by relying on your looks, why bother investing time in games and practicing your skills?
After the Longzhu platform took the lead, the Huchi platform was not to be outdone and decisively released the news of "the first celebrity spokesperson for the live streaming platform". It can be said that it won the bonus of being the first celebrity spokesperson in the live streaming industry before Principal Wang.
To this end, the Huchi platform also put up a silhouette poster on Weibo to engage in mystery marketing. There were many different opinions at the time, and the audience also enjoyed playing the guessing game.
The Shark Platform, which had just launched a series of combined punches, briefly stopped and happily sat on the mountain to watch the fight between the two tigers.
After all, this is destined to be a protracted war. It is not about who seizes the initiative or is in the limelight, but about who can survive to the end.
