Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 244: Too Simple
"Shocked! Liu, the top player on Huchi platform, is suspected to switch to Panda platform, and the sky-high signing fee is exposed..."
"Five hundred million in three years! Principal Wang spent a fortune to add another powerful player to the Panda platform!"
"Sky-high contracts are frequently issued, anchors' salaries are skyrocketing, and the live broadcast industry is the next Internet hotspot!"
Overnight, headlines and news like these appeared out of nowhere and became hot topics on the Internet.
The current era is the era of the booming self-media. Various marketing accounts and editors are working hard to produce various small articles to share this wave of popularity from various angles.
At the same time, with the power of everyone adding fuel to the fire, the popularity of this topic has been rising steadily, and the crowd has flocked to it.
First, there was the rumor that Curly Baboon had a contract buyout of over 100 million yuan, then there was the rumor that Saozhu had made 500 million yuan in three years, and then there was the news that Dazhi had an annual income of 120 million yuan, surpassing Fan Shuangbing in the entertainment industry...
Under the effect of accumulation, the emerging industry of live streaming has suddenly entered the public eye, especially its powerful "wealth-creating ability", which can be said to be money that can move people's hearts.
Just by sitting in front of the computer, playing games, telling jokes, and chatting, you can "easily" become a billionaire. Isn't this temptation much more real than buying lottery tickets?
Especially the ordinary looks of the Curly-Haired Baboon and the Sao Pig, as well as their age of only about 20 years old, give people the illusion that "I can do it too".
As for the identity of a retired e-sports player, people subconsciously ignore it. Isn't it just a matter of playing games better? What's so difficult about that?
In their view, becoming a king is just a matter of time, and they can do it as long as they are given enough time.
After all, in the perception of most people, "genius is nothing more than 99% perspiration and 1% talent."
This famous saying that teachers like to say from childhood to adulthood has subtly influenced countless people. However, in fact, the "1% of talent" is the key factor that determines the upper limit.
Just like the subject of mathematics, people may be able to do anything when pushed to the limit, but they just can't solve math problems.
The difference between people is sometimes even greater than the difference between people and dogs, and this gap is often due to this "1%" difference.
However, it is difficult to become a genius, but it is relatively easy to become a host. All you need is a computer and an Internet cable.
Even in another year or two, the threshold will be lowered again to the point where only a mobile phone is required.
As we all know, the lower the threshold of a job, the easier it is to be saturated, which also means that the competition and involution will be more intense, just like delivering takeout.
But at the moment, both anchors and delivery riders are emerging sunrise industries that are in urgent need of a large influx of talent, and there is still a long way to go before the industry is saturated.
Even with the example of "industry newcomers" in front of them, most people will still hold conservative opinions and choose to wait and see.
Only those "reckless men" who dare to be the first can seize the fleeting industry dividends.
Before an industry boom comes, sometimes choice is more important than talent. Just as our ancestors said, among the three elements of "time, place and people", people rank third.
Stimulated by the endless stream of soft articles on the Internet, major platforms have welcomed a surge in new anchors, although the vast majority of them are only enthusiastic for a short period of time.
However, in this gold-rushing stage of the industry, there will still be a lot of gold shining. Zhou Dongsheng cannot catch them all at once. He can only let Xu Kaidao pay more attention and follow the industry in the process of success.
However, today's Xiaorenwu Media is definitely a well-deserved leading company in the field of anchor brokerage. After all, it has trained (jian) many famous anchors.
Others are selecting the sand through the big waves, but Little People Media is selecting the gold through the big waves. The anchors produced by Little People Media are of extremely high quality.
Whether it is the Curly Baboon, the first nine-digit contract in the industry, or the Saozhu, the second, they were all issued by Xiaorenren Media, which is a resounding golden signboard.
Not to mention that there are a number of other game anchors and dance anchors who are at the tens of millions and millions levels, which highlights the abundance of talent.
Even Zhou Dongsheng's casual remark at the time, "Let every little person have a chance to shine," has now become a golden rule in the anchor agency industry and is widely circulated.
Therefore, under the head effect, Xiaorenren Media's attractiveness to talents is increasing with time, and it is more adept at recruiting new people.
As long as you present the company's success stories, you can easily impress new anchors. Even if you are competing with other companies and the conditions you offer are slightly lower, you will become the new anchors' priority choice.
There is no way, because Zhou Dongsheng has laid a rock-solid foundation for Little People Media.
However, the so-called "wealth-creating ability" of the live broadcast industry is still not enough in the current unprecedentedly hot stock market. It can only compete with the stock market for popularity during the weekend.
With the arrival of Monday, the public's attention was once again focused on the stock market, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to the opening at 9:30.
After all, the big surge before the market closed on Friday has excited countless people, and they are looking forward to the A-share index setting new highs. A mere 5,100 points is not enough at all. The end of the A-share market is the sea of stars!
Under such circumstances, the A-share index lived up to expectations and opened high, kicking off trading at 5174 points.
It is only a hair’s breadth away from Friday’s highest point of 5178 points, so wouldn’t it be easy to break through 5200 points?
Countless retail investors were chatting and laughing , just waiting to receive their money, while impatient retail investors outside the market also rushed in impatiently, waving their banknotes.
After all, I held it in for a whole weekend and finally the stock market opened for business. Watching others make money was more painful than losing money myself!
Opportunities are rare and never come back. The best chance to make money is always now! Don’t ask, just go all in!
All in, it’s a kind of wisdom!
However, many years later, when countless people recalled this ordinary Monday, they could deeply feel the fear of being dominated by Big A...
Also, the wind on the rooftop was so cold that it was heart-wrenching...
On June 15, the A-share market closed with a long shadow of 100 points for the first time in the bull market that lasted for half a month, and the market fell back by 2 points.
This is a heavy blow to the retail investors who rushed into the stock market waving their cash to make money today. They are eager to seek advice from the senior investors around them who claim that "making money from stock trading is as easy as drinking water."
In response to this, veteran stock investors said calmly, "Don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment."
"This kind of pullback is just a normal operation in a bull market. Half a month ago, when it was hitting 5,000 points, the A-share market plunged more than 300 points, and then it went through a crazy bull market."
"It's the same this time. The pullback is just to accumulate momentum for the upward surge. You guys are just starting to learn how to trade stocks, and you're still naive. We, the old stock investors, are already used to it."
"After all, the stock market is just like life, with its ups and downs."
The old stock investors' sharing of their experiences has established a lofty image in the minds of new stock investors who have just entered the market.
But this mountain collapsed as fast as the stock market.
