Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 274: Pattern
As the saying goes, if I can't beat you in your area of expertise, I will drag you into my area of expertise and defeat you with my rich experience.
Although this system has been used to death in traditional tracks, if it is put on the live broadcast platform, the Zhanqi platform can be regarded as the "first to try it out".
Both Zhejiang University and Zhao Youyou have rich experience and a mature team in this regard, so it is obviously no problem for them to create an excellent variety show.
As for Zhou Dongsheng's previous casual work "Hello Female Anchor", in the eyes of these professionals, it was a completely makeshift team and naturally could not be compared with them.
The so-called "Pride and Prejudice" is nothing more than this, but people have the capital to be arrogant.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youyou called Zhou Dongsheng. This was the first time Zhao Youyou had a meeting with Zhou Dongsheng since she took over the responsibility from Pan Qihuang.
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng, who was playing games in the office, looked at the strange number displayed on the phone, answered the call casually and pressed the speakerphone button, and spoke absentmindedly while playing the game.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Zhao Youyou from the Zhanqi platform..." A pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh? Where is your General Manager Pan?" Zhou Dongsheng asked casually.
"Mr. Pan resigned not long ago. I am the new president of the platform. I called this time to discuss the renewal of Vincent's contract with Mr. Zhou." Zhao Youyou said slowly.
"Is that so? Ms. Zhao is really a woman who is as capable as any man. The Zhanqi platform has a promising future." Zhou Dongsheng was a little surprised, and then he complimented each other in his usual business way.
It is truly rare for a woman to become the CEO of one of the five major live streaming platforms. She must have some outstanding qualities, which is what surprised Zhou Dongsheng.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. The future of the Zhanqi platform still depends on your support." It's business mutual praise, who wouldn't do that? Zhao Youyou immediately gave Zhou Dongsheng a compliment.
"I don't deserve it. We are just a small company that manages anchors. We have to rely on the platform for development." Zhou Dongsheng laughed.
"Mr. Zhou, you're too polite. Although Xiaorenwu Media has the word 'small' in its name, it has nothing to do with the word 'small company'. The anchors under Xiaorenwu Media alone are enough to support a live broadcast platform of considerable scale..."
Zhao Youyou on the other end of the phone frowned and cursed inwardly, how could a young person talk like those old foxes in Zhejiang University, speaking in a very pretentious way?
Zhou Dongsheng's neck felt sore from being complimented by Zhao Youyou over and over again, and even his game control skills became distorted.
After a few pleasantries, he quickly returned to the topic, "We have always been very happy to cooperate with your platform, but I believe Mr. Zhao also knows the situation of Vincent's contract."
"Although we really want to continue cooperating with Zhanqi, a small company like us can only follow the business principle of 'the highest bidder wins'. Even if Principal Wang is a shareholder of our company, we will not show partiality..."
Zhou Dongsheng said seriously that as for the double act with Principal Wang, it fell into the category of "commercial secrets" and there was naturally no need to disclose it to the outside world.
Although Principal Wang also wanted to take it all in one gulp, even though he was wealthy , the funds in his hands were not endless.
Behind the series of big moves of the Panda platform that has just been launched, real money is burned. Although it is a good start, the capital consumption is also real.
The Panda platform was in its early stages and needed money, and it was impossible for Principal Wang to invest all his funds into the "Thousands of Broadcasts War".
Otherwise, you will bring yourself down before bringing down others. Spending money also requires strategy and skills.
Of course, if other platforms do not compete with him in bidding, Principal Wang will accept the two generals with a smile.
Unfortunately, neither the Dragon Pig platform nor the War Cavalry platform has any intention of giving up the top spot. No matter how high the price is, you have to follow if you don’t want to fall behind.
After all, if you are not willing to pay this price, naturally someone will rush to get it. This is the current situation where the "Thousands of Broadcast Wars" are becoming increasingly fierce.
"I understand Mr. Zhou's difficulties, but please believe in the sincerity of our Zhanqi platform. We can add another 5 million to the renewal price. In addition, the industry's first e-sports reality show created by our Zhanqi platform will be launched soon..."
"As long as Vincent renews his contract with Zhanqi, he will be the important guest of our show. The publicity of this show will focus on Vincent. I believe that President Zhou also knows about Zhejiang Chuan behind our Zhanqi platform..."
"Zhejiang Media Group is very concerned about the development of the Zhanqi platform. When the program is promoted, we can also use Zhejiang Media Group's publicity resources to promote it on TV..."
"Whether it's Vincent, Little People Media, or our Zhanqi platform, all three parties benefit from this. This is our greatest sincerity."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that just when he talked to Principal Wang about making a reality show on the live streaming platform , someone had already taken the lead.
Maybe this is what they call "great minds think alike".
Listening to Zhao Youyou's clear and logical words, laying out the benefits of cooperation in front of Zhou Dongsheng, there was full of sincerity in it.
Judging from the contract amount alone, there are platforms that can offer a higher price, but the publicity resources of the Zhanqi platform are also a very scarce resource.
Maybe it’s not as direct as real money, but being able to get publicity from mainstream media also has some unclear potential benefits, especially for the anchor himself.
Of course, if it was on CCTV-1, that would be a different matter. After all, looking at the entire anchor industry, those who can do this are rare (funny).
Zhou Dongsheng is not an unscrupulous capitalist. Since there is money to be made and it will be of great benefit to his anchors, this matter will naturally come to fruition.
After all, there is a problem that Zhao Youyou did not mention, and that is the problem of "resource run" on the platform.
Before Tenda dominates the industry, it is not necessarily a good thing to gather all the big-name anchors on one platform!
"Mr. Zhao has said so much. I think there is no reason for me to refuse. The outside world always has mixed opinions on the emerging profession of anchor. If we can get more positive reports through Zhejiang Media's media channels, I think it will be a good thing."
Zhou Dongsheng said sincerely.
Zhao Youyou couldn't help but feel relieved, and then smiled and said, "Of course. From this perspective, Mr. Zhou and I are on the same side. We both hope that this industry can be better."
"In this way, we, as vested interests, can also get more benefits, right?" Zhao Youyou told the truth.
"That's true. I was being too pretentious, but Mr. Zhao's comments are really to the point." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
After the cooperation was agreed upon, he exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone. The rest of the matters would naturally be handled by the people below.
But I didn't expect that the phone rang again just after I hung up.
