Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 402: Get an Award
It was precisely because of the anticipated influence of Papi Jiang that Zhou Dongsheng took great pains to sign her, but being able to take the lead on the Muse short video was still a little beyond Zhou Dongsheng's expectations.
It seems that although my existence has caused some deviations in "history", this shining gold is still dazzling.
Even on the muse short video stage, which "should not exist at this time", the performance is still the same.
However, compared with his understanding of the golden signboard of [Muziqi], Zhou Dongsheng's understanding of [Papi Jiang] is relatively limited. Only the unique slogan with personal characteristics left a deep impression on Zhou Dongsheng.
But it doesn't matter. The person is in my hands now, and there will be plenty of time to get to know him slowly in the future. What's more, I have more resources to support me. As for [Papi Jiang] in this life, what the future will be like is still undetermined.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng restrained his thoughts for a moment, and said to Yang Luyu on the other end of the phone with a smile: "It seems that the operation strategy of Muse short video is still quite correct so far, and the credit for this goes to Mr. Yang."
“Rather than saying that the audience of Papi Jiang’s works is exactly the same as the platform’s positioning, it is better to say that Muse short videos made Papi Jiang successful…”
Zhou Dongsheng originally just wanted to brag about each other's business, but he didn't expect Yang Luyu to be sober and repeatedly denied it, "No, no, no, at most it can only be considered as mutual achievement. After all, as far as I know, this... creator under President Zhou is also very popular on Weibo."
"Therefore, being able to make achievements on the Muse short video platform is purely a manifestation of his personal strength. Muse is just a blessing in disguise. If one day the Muse platform can create an account with millions of followers from scratch..."
“That can perhaps be considered the achievement of Muse short videos.”
Zhou Dongsheng was impressed by this sober speech. He couldn't help but say in admiration, "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang would be so rational and clear-headed. He was not affected by the success in front of him at all..."
"With a founder like you at the helm, I am even more confident about the future of Muse Short Video."
This time , Zhou Dongsheng expressed his praise for Yang Luyu sincerely. It has to be said that any entrepreneur who can achieve something is a leader who should not be underestimated.
After all, the road to entrepreneurship is to live and die, and one general's success is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers.
In terms of ability alone, even the losers who fall on the road are probably not comparable to "speculators" like Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, we really don’t have that ability, right?
It was because of his clear self-awareness that Zhou Dongsheng never dared to act rashly...
Yang Luyu was naturally delighted to receive praise from Zhou Dongsheng, a strategic investor. "All this is thanks to Mr. Zhou's strategic guidance to us. Otherwise, Muse short video would not be able to make a breakthrough in the domestic market..."
"Yes, we have only opened a gap. There is still a long way to go. Even now, others probably don't regard us as their opponents." Zhou Dongsheng sighed meaningfully.
Yang Luyu also agreed with this. "At present, several major domestic short video platforms have all targeted the emerging live broadcast, and are working hard to develop their own live broadcast functions to enhance their competitiveness. Naturally, they have no time to care about us..."
“After all, even Tengda has retreated in the face of difficulty, so there is nothing to worry about for small minions like us!” Yang Luyu joked with a smile.
"This is even better. The more people look down on us, the more opportunities we have. We just need to work hard in secret, quietly excel, and then... surprise everyone!"
Although he knew that Yang Luyu was just making fun of himself, Zhou Dongsheng still spoke with confidence , as if he had never had such an idea.
"By the way, in order to encourage the employees of my media company to take the initiative to develop the diversified direction of muse short videos, I have specially come up with a 'million cash' incentive..."
Zhou Dongsheng casually shared this matter with Yang Luyu.
"Then, the account [Papi Jiang] has met the standard, right? Is Mr. Zhou going to bleed heavily?" Yang Luyu was slightly amused when he heard this and joked.
"Well, I was just doing a pilot project in Xiaorenwu Media for now. I didn't expect that Papi Jiang, a subsidiary of Yinian Media, would be the first to complete it..." Zhou Dongsheng smiled helplessly.
"However, I will not favor one over the other. I will think of a way to make up for it in a few days. But I think this incident has given me some inspiration."
"I think we can also officially launch an encouraging award for Muse short videos to stimulate the initiative of creators and encourage them to be more proactive in their creations."
"In addition to cash rewards, we can even give out some limited rewards on the platform, such as the title of the strongest creator of 2015, which will be permanently displayed on their account..."
"As long as the creator is still on the platform, they can enjoy this permanent honor. The combination of fame and fortune is the biggest temptation for creators!"
Zhou Dongsheng casually mentioned the prototype of his idea. In fact, similar initiatives will be common on many platforms in the future, whether it is Weibo, Bilibili, or live broadcast platforms.
In addition to wanting to retain existing creators, every platform also wants to have the ability to generate continuous revenue so that more newcomers can have the opportunity to come forward.
Therefore, a mechanism like annual awards that can achieve both fame and fortune is a must.
Zhou Dongsheng only told Yang Luyu the general idea and discussed it with each other. After all, things like how to were not Zhou Dongsheng's strong point.
"Mr. Zhou has given me another suggestion of great strategic value. However, our Muse short video business has just started. Isn't it too early to do this?"
As soon as Yang Luyu heard Zhou Dongsheng's suggestion, his eyes lit up a little. If Muse short videos continued to develop, Yang Luyu could imagine the grand occasion of the awards ceremony!
But right now, even the industry giants haven’t done such a thing. If Muse Short Video does it, wouldn’t it be a bit... overstepping one’s authority, or just seeking to attract attention?
"No, Mr. Yang, on the contrary, I think the sooner we do this kind of thing, the better, and it will be more meaningful to the development of the platform, even if it is unknown at the beginning and it is just a small award that is better than nothing..."
"But as long as we keep developing, the value of this award will become higher and higher. And just from this award, we can see the development process of our platform. Looking back in the future, it may be a good thing."
"Mr. Yang, you don't have no confidence in Muse, right? Don't you think we can keep developing? I am very confident." Zhou Dongsheng said in a teasing tone.
"I didn't expect that I, a founder, couldn't see as far as Mr. Zhou, a strategic investor. I'm sorry to make Mr. Zhou laugh. But when it comes to confidence, I think I'm slightly better than Mr. Zhou."
This time, Yang Luyu did not hide anything. As an entrepreneur who was determined to survive, it was impossible for Yang Luyu to lack confidence in his product.
After all, he is the biological father, and Zhou Dongsheng is at most a godfather!
