Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 275 The Leader's Awakening
The person who called this time was Chen Shijie. Compared with other platform bosses, Chen Shijie should be the one who deals with Zhou Dongsheng the most.
Of course, except Principal Wang.
After answering the phone, Zhou Dongsheng laughed and said, "Mr. Chen, how are you? Shark Platform is now big and powerful, so there shouldn't be a shortage of big anchors, right?"
Zhou Dongsheng subconsciously thought that Chen Shijie came for the contracts of his two anchors. After all, all his recent calls were about this kind of thing, so he naturally had a preconceived idea.
"Haha, what Mr. Zhou said is right. Which platform right now doesn't lack big anchors? It's like Han Xin selecting soldiers, the more the better." Chen Shijie laughed heartily.
"Oh? Then Mr. Chen is late. The two old employers have put in a lot of effort to renew the contract. Even Principal Wang couldn't compete with them." Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
"It seems that the competition among these platforms is becoming more and more fierce. Mr. Zhou, your business is really good. You can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor without competing with the world." Chen Shijie was not surprised. Instead, he teased in a sarcastic tone.
Compared with other platforms that are eager to catch up, the current Shark platform can be said to be at the forefront of all platforms, and only the old platform Tiger Tooth can compete with it.
Even Principal Wang’s Panda platform is currently playing the role of a follower, simply because it has too deep a foundation.
"No, there are many anchor management companies right now, just like the live broadcast platforms. There are countless of them. Compared with the foundation of those big-name management companies, we are still far behind."
What Zhou Dongsheng said was true. Although the anchor brokerage business is one of the emerging industries, it also has some old giants entrenched in it, such as the well-known Qihuang Media in the industry.
Compared with Xiaorenwu Media, Qihuang Media was established earlier, and it had established a close cooperative relationship with Shark Platform long before Xiaorenwu Media.
When it comes to this company, some people may be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to the series of top anchors under Qihuang, I believe many people have heard of it.
Whether it is the "Three Sluts" who are currently popular on the Shark platform, or the future mute bride Sister Zhou, Ye Zhiqiu, Mina and a series of other top anchors, all come from Qihuang Media.
In addition, there are also resident anchors like Deyunse who have been active in the e-sports commentary circle, and are not inferior in terms of traffic or topicality.
Whether it is "Li Zhuang White Meat" or "Surface Brothers", or the "E-sports Pan Jinlian" incident that once caused a sensation, it is one of the events that countless audiences talk about with relish.
Maybe this is true. Even though Deyunse has received mixed reviews, he has always been a long-lasting veteran in the industry. He may not have become the top player, but he has survived a long time.
When Zhou Dongsheng thought of Qihuang, a well-established media company, he couldn't help but become more interested. After all, its leading anchors, especially the female anchors, have always been active at the forefront of the live broadcast industry.
Even though the old ones are replaced by the new ones, Qihuang Media can still produce a steady stream of female anchors. This is a manifestation of its foundation and strength.
In comparison, even though Xiaorenren Media has built up a considerable advantage thanks to Zhou Dongsheng's foresight, in terms of corporate structure and system, it is not necessarily comparable to Qihuang Media...
Chen Shijie naturally didn't know what Zhou Dongsheng was thinking. Just based on Zhou Dongsheng's words, he was being too modest.
After all... the "Four King Kongs" under Xiaorenren Media are now the well-deserved top brothers on all major platforms! Just for this honor, other anchor media are really far behind.
Even Chen Shijie was very curious about how Zhou Dongsheng managed to find gold in the waves and always find it.
Just based on his ability to judge people, Zhou Dongsheng can be considered a "genius"!
“Mr. Zhou, you are really too modest. But I am not here for the top anchors this time. I am very interested in the ASMR anchors that your company has recently developed. They are very much in line with the needs of the diversified development of our Shark platform…”
Compared with the battle for the top anchors, Chen Shijie has already started to lay out the selection system within the Shark platform. The "Million Star Anchors" plan is just the first step to test the waters, and investment will inevitably continue to increase in the future.
The ability to operate and create stars has always been the core competitiveness of the Shark platform, whether it is the "Shark Three Sluts" or the "Shark Four Divas", or the creation of the curly-haired baboon as the "No. 1 in the industry"...
This series of successful initiatives not only brings a steady stream of traffic revenue to the Shark platform, but also leaves a deep first impression on the general public. Gradually, the image of the Shark platform as "No. 1 in the industry" has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This series of measures were naturally the work of Chen Shijie. It was with a leader like him that the Shark platform became the leader.
As for the ASMR business, Chen Shijie, who has a unique vision, also discovered its potential after observing it for a period of time.
The live streaming platform is an industry that operates 24 hours a day. The mainstream popular time periods certainly account for the majority of the platform's traffic, but the small portion of traffic during unpopular time periods is by no means insignificant.
Just like the world is divided into day and night, the user groups watching live broadcasts can also be divided into popular and unpopular time periods.
With the development of modern society, the number of users active at night has only increased, and the number of users who are keen on staying up late to cultivate themselves has increased day by day, gradually forming a group that cannot be ignored.
Even traditional media have launched midnight programs and midnight radio stations to cater to the needs of this group. The proliferation of 24-hour convenience stores is enough to demonstrate the size and needs of this group.
Even traditional industries cannot be ignored, let alone the Internet which never closes.
Therefore, in Chen Shijie's eyes, ASMR, a live broadcast business rooted in the night, is a new traffic growth point for the platform, which can bring new traffic and revenue to the platform.
Even if you are temporarily in the leading position in the industry, you still have to plan ahead and constantly seek breakthroughs. Chen Shijie is not the kind of person who loses his way after having a little advantage.
"Oh? I didn't expect that the first person to take a fancy to my business would be Mr. Chen. I am so honored. Mr. Chen, just name a price and take it away."
"But... after working together for so long, Mr. Chen must also know the rules of our Little People Media ..."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said that he did not expect that a business he had not developed intentionally could become profitable and recover the cost so quickly. It seems that he is still quite capable.
"I understand the rules. It's just a one-year contract, no problem. But except for Lou Xiaoxuan, I can't offer a high price to anyone else. After all, you don't know how expensive food and daily necessities are until you run the household." Chen Shijie said casually.
"No problem. Given our friendship, Mr. Chen will decide how much to give. With the support of the Shark platform, I believe this group of ASMR anchors will be able to reach new heights."
Zhou Dongsheng took a step back to advance, and talked about friendship instead of money. Chen Shijie would naturally give a relatively reasonable price.
Chen Shijie couldn't help but burst out laughing, and cursed in his heart: Old fox.
