Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 375: Indifferent to Fame and Wealth
Listening to Zhou Dongsheng's words, Yang Luyu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Indeed, the relationship between high-quality creators and platforms is complementary and mutually beneficial, but..."
“This process can never be rushed. Unless you spend a lot of money to poach existing creators from other platforms, you can only slowly cultivate creators with a solid foundation on your own platform…”
Just when he said this, Yang Luyu suddenly realized something, and looked up at Zhou Dongsheng abruptly, only to be met with a meaningful smile from Zhou Dongsheng.
Good man, you are going around in circles and waiting for me here?
Not long ago, a large number of anchors suddenly emerged from the muse software. Although they were called live broadcast effects, they subtly injected a large amount of traffic into the muse platform!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the number of registered users of Muse successfully exceeded one million. This incident happened not long ago, so Yang Luyu naturally remembers it vividly.
Afterwards, we conducted a special investigation on these anchors. We were shocked to find that the signing fee of a retired professional player who turned into an anchor was as high as nine figures!
If it was just an isolated case, Yang Luyu could still regard it as an exaggeration by the platform for hype, but it turned out to be the same. Two of them appeared at once, a baboon and a pig...
This shocked Yang Luyu, and he couldn't help but sigh at the craze of the Internet live broadcast craze. How many real baboons and pigs could he buy with this net worth...
As luck would have it, this naughty pig is one of the anchors who brought a huge wave of traffic to the muse platform. The number of fans of the account he created on the muse platform exceeded 100,000 on the same day!
Although the account has not been updated since that day, the number of followers continued to rise, and in a very short time it became the account with the highest number of followers on the Muse platform.
The huge traffic and conversion rate of this person's IP made Yang Luyu sigh: It's so terrifying!
It can be said that I have seen a little bit of the value of this nine-digit net worth.
This even made Yang Luyu want to develop in the live broadcast industry. After all, the technical threshold for live broadcasting is not high for their company.
However, the competition in the live broadcasting field has become increasingly fierce. The much-talked-about "Thousands of Live Broadcast Wars" is in full swing, and big anchors with tens of millions of viewers are emerging one after another...
The tens of millions of dollars in financing his company had obtained, even though it was in US dollars, seemed a little stretched. Yang Luyu had no choice but to give up this impulsive idea and decide to create his own short video platform.
Getting back to the topic, Yang Luyu followed the clues and naturally found out that these anchors basically came from a company called Little People Media, and the boss of this company was Zhou Dongsheng in front of him!
For this, Yang Luyu even made a special trip to call to express his gratitude, but today, Zhou Dongsheng exposed it to him, and he suddenly realized that he had turned a blind eye to such a huge gold mine around him and turned around to do something completely opposite...
Yang Luyu slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain. I really didn't recognize the real talent. I forgot that Mr. Zhou already had a ready-made high-quality creator!"
"Moreover, the interests of this short video platform and the live broadcast platform do not conflict. These big anchors can choose the Muse platform to produce content without any worries..."
"Although Weibo, a social platform, also has short video content, its essence is still text-based social networking. As a short video social platform, Muse is naturally more suitable for recording video clips, making it easier for anchors and fans to interact..."
"This is exactly in line with what Mr. Zhou said about the celebrity effect. Using personal IP to drive fan traffic can then revitalize the entire platform and encourage more high-quality creators to join!"
Yang Luyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and by the end he was convinced. He couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration, and bowed to Zhou Dongsheng in admiration.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to have such a long-term vision and be so thorough in his work. I really admire his ingenuity. If a large number of high-quality IPs join us, I am confident that Muse will have more than 10 million users next year!"
Zhou Dongsheng was stunned. Did I mean that? I haven't said anything yet, how come you understand everything? If Yang Luyu wasn't a native American, Zhou Dongsheng would have thought he was going to run for president.
However, at this time, the King of Understanding has already started his campaign...
The alarmist words he used to scare Yang Luyu were written by this old guy...
Zhou Dongsheng collected his thoughts, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said with approval: "Boss Yang is indeed my like-minded confidant. You already understood what I meant before I even said it."
"In that case, I won't go into details. I just asked my subordinates to give Muse a small gift to show my sincerity."
“I believe Mr. Yang knows the effect. If we can have a deeper strategic cooperation, this large number of anchors will surely bring a huge number of fans and users to Muse.”
"In addition to the anchor, I also have a company under my name . The company also has an excellent short video creator [Papi Jiang]. As far as I know, she is very popular recently and has millions of fans on Weibo..."
"In addition, there is another video creator who I am very optimistic about [Mu Ziqi]. His unique creative style and video content are deeply loved by fans. He also has millions of fans on Meipai and Weibo..."
In front of Yang Luyu, Zhou Dongsheng counted his assets on his fingers. Even Zhou Dongsheng himself couldn't help but sigh. How could I have built up such a huge fortune without realizing it?
This all-star lineup, any one of them can definitely be strong and capable of fighting if taken alone in the future, and if they are tied together, it will be no less than a depth charge!
However, at present, in the early stages of the industry's development, these people can only be regarded as just emerging. Only Saozhu, who has taken the lead and reaped the benefits of the industry, can be regarded as having taken off.
But the amount was enough for Yang Luyu.
Looking at the treasures that Zhou Dongsheng casually displayed in a row in front of him, Yang Luyu seemed to hear Zhou Dongsheng shouting, "Treasures from the ancient times are on sale!"
The game had just begun, and I was short of money, so I could only buy the starting equipment and go online to develop with tears in my eyes...
Even if he took out all the financing money and slapped it on the table, it would not be enough for Yang Luyu to say generously, "Boss, I want them all, and arrange for the six-piece suit for me!"
What's more, this money was obtained from the financial sponsor in front of him...
Yang Luyu reached out to wipe the unnecessary saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with embarrassment: "Well, Mr. Zhou, you also know the situation of the company. Although I really want to take it all, but..."
"Hey, Mr. Yang, there's no need to say more. Since I'm an individual shareholder of the company, we're all in the same boat. As long as the Muse platform's pie gets bigger, I'll be a beneficiary, right?"
"So I don't want any money for this strategic cooperation." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
Yang Luyu was overjoyed. Is there such a good thing?
Mr. Zhou is just a fool... Ah, this is a wise man! He has a long-term vision!
What is an angel investor? This is a real angel investor, who is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not seek rewards, and only wants to make this business flourish!
"but……"
