Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 82: The Current Situation of Little People Media
In the office, Xu Kaidao was giving Zhou Dongsheng a brief report on the company's current situation.
At present, the development of Xiaorenwu Media has been rapid. After raising 30 million yuan in financing, it signed three major anchors to Huchi platform for 15 million yuan.
Even the curly-haired baboon who was signed with Liu's recommendation is now doing very well. He is very popular on the Shark platform with his unique live broadcast style and has signed a contract with Shark with an annual salary of 15 million.
Xu Kaidao also did not expect that the live streaming industry would explode so quickly, and that the value of anchors would rise to this level in such a short period of time.
Although the signing fee needs to be shared with the anchor in proportion and is not paid all at once, Xiaorenwu Media now has a stable cash flow and sufficient funds on its books.
In Xu Kaidao's view, such a startup company is already a dream start and has huge potential that has yet to be realized, especially for the company's owner Zhou Dongsheng.
Although Xiaorenmin Media developed rapidly under his management, Xu Kaidao knew that the biggest contributor was Zhou Dongsheng, the boss behind the scenes, rather than himself as the manager.
In Xu Kaidao's eyes, Zhou Dongsheng is already a bit of a legend. He is young but has a keen eye. Not only has he identified the industry, but the anchors he signed have also shown amazing commercial value...
When Zhou Dongsheng offered a market value of 100 million for financing, Xu Kaidao felt that it was a bit exaggerated. But now it seems that he was short-sighted. It is not a problem for Xiaorenmin Media to double its market value.
This also further strengthened Xu Kaidao's idea of holding on to Zhou Dongsheng's thighs. For Xu Kaidao, who is middle-aged, he must consider whether this is his last chance in his life.
Zhou Dongsheng was also very satisfied with this close aide, who had managed Little Man Media in an orderly manner over the past six months and had implemented his plans effectively.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has a forward-looking vision, professional matters still need to be left to professionals. It is not enough to have a brain, you also need a body to execute .
"Old Xu, although there is a potential crisis." Zhou Dongsheng said while making tea.
Xu Kaidao sat up straight when he heard this. What he thought was a good situation actually had potential dangers in the eyes of his boss? Was this the gap?
"Although our company has been lucky enough to create a few big anchors, the success of both Liu and Curly Baboon has a bit of luck in it."
"Their rise to prominence can be attributed to the traffic boost from retired players and the excessive demand for gaming traffic from live streaming platforms. This has led to high annual salaries because of the high demand for gaming traffic."
"It can be said that without our company, they could have become the first-line anchors of the platform. We just seized the opportunity and took advantage of it."
Zhou Dongsheng paused for a moment and then continued talking.
"This is also the current shortcoming of our company. We do not have a stable blood-making ability, and the types of anchors under our company are too single. The direction we need to work hard in the future should be how to establish a system for discovering and training new talents."
"Although our company's main business is anchor brokerage, the concept of internet celebrity should not be limited to this field. Looking to the future, the internet celebrity economy is still a blue ocean!"
“When we can achieve a media company with a constant flow of internet celebrities and a stable flow of small-time celebrities, that will be considered a success in my opinion.”
Zhou Dongsheng's ability to brag and make big promises has become more and more sophisticated, and he has completely found his own position.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be achieved or not, just blow it out first, and leave the rest to the employees to worry about. Isn’t this the boss’s job?
Xu Kaidao was also in awe. He didn't expect that his boss had such a long-term vision, while he was still complacent with the little success in front of him...
In comparison, my own vision is indeed far behind.
"I understand, boss. Next, I will make full efforts and preparations in this regard and establish a complete training system!"
After being hit by Zhou Dongsheng, Xu Kaidao dared not slack off. He secretly made up his mind to work harder, for fear that he would not be able to keep up with the company 's development pace and be thrown off the bus halfway.
"In addition to discovering new talents, we also need to work hard on the operation and maintenance of big anchors. The video editing done by Han Fei is a good idea."
"We can make a series of videos for each big anchor based on their characteristics, spread the live broadcast content as videos, and further accumulate traffic and fame."
"The brighter these signs are, the more potential newcomers we can attract. Simply put, we need to do both!"
After a long speech, Zhou Dongsheng stopped, feeling unsatisfied. The promises were too much to take away.
"Old Xu, I believe your abilities will not disappoint me. I am also discussing . The specific results will depend on your performance." Zhou Dongsheng said lightly.
After the big stick, of course you have to give a sweet date in time. Even if you can't eat it, you can still quench your thirst by looking at the plum. As for when to fulfill this promise...
It depends on whether Zhou Dongsheng remembers it by then. The man hanging on the street lamp is so fearless.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, but routines have always been used to win people's hearts. Although the big stick and sweet dates are a bit old-fashioned, they are effective.
"Boss, rest assured. I will not let you down. I will arrange the work right away!"
Xu Kaidao solemnly promised that he would faithfully implement the boss's policies and realize the boss's boasting, and that this is what an excellent manager needs to do.
Then Xu Kaidao turned around and went out, throwing himself into his work with full enthusiasm.
After bragging, Zhou Dongsheng felt a little tired and turned to open the stock software.
January 2015 is already halfway through and there is only one month left until the Chinese New Year. After a strong start to the year, the stock market has entered a phase of volatile adjustments.
The A-share index fluctuated around 3350, and today it fell to around 3222 points, causing many retail investors who rushed in taking advantage of the good start to keep cursing.
Where is the bull market that was promised to soar to the sky? Isn’t the A-share market, which is fluctuating up and down and unable to recover, still in a familiar state?
Even the national liquor that Zhou Dongsheng held a large stake in had a good start in 2015 and went straight to the daily limit, which shocked many national liquor fans and they rushed in with their money in hand.
As a result, the price was directly copied to the top of the mountain, and then Guojiu turned around and went through a seven-day consecutive decline, falling directly to 87 yuan.
Retail investors were yelling and cursing wildly, and immediately chose to sell their shares at a loss. What a rubbish this national liquor is! It’s really a hopeless case. If I buy liquor again, I’ll be a dog!
Unexpectedly, the next day after I sold my shares, the price of National Liquor directly surged to 90 yuan. Retail investors suddenly began to feel confused. The banker was the real dog. He really went to great lengths to reap my little money!
In contrast, Zhou Dongsheng just calmly glanced at the market and the profit situation in his account. During this wave of shock adjustment, he only made a little profit.
Ups and downs are only temporary. As long as you are patient enough and wait for the A-shares to take off, there is no such thing as losing money. Of course, if you go all in and bet everything on the A-share market, that is another matter.
