Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 559 Industry Ceiling
At noon the next day, Zhou Dongsheng and Principal Wang leisurely enjoyed a brunch.
Although he had been partying all night in the bar, Zhou Dongsheng was still in high spirits. This body in his early twenties, coupled with persistent exercise, really brought Zhou Dongsheng some benefits.
"It's good to be young!" Principal Wang couldn't help but sigh with envy.
"What you said, I don't know whether Principal Wang is referring to me or the group of energetic girls last night..." Zhou Dongsheng joked happily.
As the saying goes, no one can stay young forever, but there will always be a girl who is 18 years old. On this issue, a man's loyalty is always fully demonstrated.
"Hey, do you know what the fuse was for this rectification action that affected the entire live streaming platform?" Principal Wang changed the subject and said mysteriously.
"There is a fuse? Isn't it that the higher-ups are trying hard to warn people in order to standardize the development of the industry?" Zhou Dongsheng asked with interest.
"That's the general idea, of course. But the trigger was the recent live broadcast of childbirth on the Shark platform, which had too bad an impact..." Principal Wang said with a look of bad taste on his face.
"What a warrior!"
The two of them were joking and chatting while playing with their respective mobile phones and dealing with the various information that piled up in their phones.
"Well? The live broadcast data of Liu's first comeback show last night came out. The popularity of a single live broadcast room actually exceeded 20 million at one point! The background shows that the total number of gifts received exceeded 5 million, and the number of real-time online viewers exceeded 3 million..."
"Wow, this data is absolutely the ceiling of the industry even if you look at the entire live broadcast industry. This historical record of a single live broadcast will probably be unmatched in the short term!"
Principal Wang was shocked when he saw the data reported by his subordinates. He said in high spirits that the Panda platform had become the center of attention all of a sudden.
Principal Wang took another quick look at the data compiled by his subordinates. With such a highly-watched live broadcast, the Panda platform naturally benefited greatly. The value of the large number of new users brought to the Panda platform alone is difficult to measure.
According to rough statistics, the number of new users registered on the platform easily exceeded one million in just one night. There is no doubt that such a large wave of traffic is closely related to Liu's live broadcast.
This strong performance after the king's return can be said to be completely matched with Liu's worth and completely established his position as the number one Panda player.
It is not an exaggeration to even say that he is the number one in the industry. After all, the top guys on other platforms are nothing compared to Liu, who is currently at the peak of his career.
With a platform owned by the number one person in the industry , isn’t it just a matter of time for Panda Platform to become the number one in the industry?
Principal Wang, who was daydreaming, couldn't help but laugh, but Zhou Dongsheng said nonchalantly.
"This data is just so-so. According to the development trend of live broadcast platforms, I'm afraid this record won't be maintained for even a few months..."
At first glance, this data may sound impressive, but it is indeed the best and unmatched at the moment.
But for Zhou Dongsheng, who has been through this, this is just the beginning. Only a quarter of 2016 has passed, and the warm-up for what will be recognized as the first year of live streaming has just been completed. The future is limitless!
Apart from anything else, it won't be long before Liu himself breaks this record. After all, the development of the live broadcast industry can no longer be said to be on a fast track.
It should be like the spaceship directly started to move forward to the fourth gear. Driven by the massive influx of capital and the burning of fuel, the development of the live broadcast industry was directly pushed to a new height.
It took only a few years for a new gadget to develop into an era of live streaming that is almost known to everyone. That’s pretty fast.
In comparison, this data performance can only be regarded as an appetizer, the big one is yet to come.
Zhou Dongsheng's nonchalant attitude really made Principal Wang a little overwhelmed. Principal Wang could not tolerate others pretending like this in front of him.
“Last night, the server almost collapsed, and we spent a lot of money to expand the capacity urgently to make it work.
So far, the highest record of other platforms is estimated to be only 7-8 million at most. This data is far ahead. Is this performance still average?"
Principal Wang refuted with reason and evidence, to which Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I know you are anxious, but don't worry. Don't forget that we are a country with a population of more than one billion. Such a huge incremental market is like a gold mountain."
"But before this, the speed of mining gold with computers alone was very low, and the growth rate was also very limited. But now it's different. The rapid popularization of mobile smartphones and the increasingly improved infrastructure of 4G networks..."
"As the time matures, the high efficiency of the three-pronged development will undoubtedly bring a wave of explosive growth to the Internet. All industries nourished by this wave of growth will inevitably usher in a watershed..."
"Personally, I think this watershed year is probably this year."
Zhou Dongsheng said cheerfully, and the inexplicable confidence that inadvertently revealed in his words made Principal Wang feel a little frustrated.
Damn it, he’s pretending again!
However, Zhou Dongsheng's miraculous performance made these somewhat empty words seem particularly convincing. At least Principal Wang was convinced.
"If you really don't believe it, let's make a bet..." Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and said in a sarcastic tone.
Zhou Dongsheng made a lot of money by making bets and took advantage of Principal Wang. After tasting the sweetness, he became more and more adept at it.
But this time, Principal Wang was not fooled. "Forget about the bet. Let's wait and see. At worst, I can treat you to a meal."
Although Principal Wang is a wealthy man, his several experiences of losing every time he gambled with Zhou Dongsheng have made him unsure of winning and he will never choose to gamble again.
As a human being, you always learn from your mistakes. Giving away money for free is not only embarrassing, but also makes you lose face.
"Hearing what you said, which industry do you think will benefit from this wave of growth? Tell me..." Principal Wang took over Zhou Dongsheng's conversation and asked.
"It all depends on which industry can better adapt to the development of mobile Internet. After all, the focus of the Internet has already shifted towards mobile terminals, with entertainment demand being the biggest..."
Zhou Dongsheng was not stupid. He was just playing around and some key information would naturally not be leaked. However, Zhou Dongsheng happened to remember a classic quote from Principal Wang, and a hint of evil taste arose in his heart.
"By the way, Principal Wang, what do you think of the sharing economy? To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about it, so I made some investments in this area..."
"Sharing economy? Do you think this foreign capital has played out a trick? Although Didi, which copied the Uber model, has developed rapidly in China, the difficulty in making profits has always been a pain point of the sharing economy. The profit-seeking nature of capital is contrary to the original intention of the sharing economy..."
“Therefore, I personally am very pessimistic about the future prospects of the sharing economy. After all, a project that cannot make a profit is not a good project. What project have you invested in?”
Principal Wang gave his conclusion very arbitrarily, and finally asked his own questions.
"Shared bicycles!" Zhou Dongsheng was not surprised by Principal Wang's arbitrary statement. After all, he was the one who said, "If shared power banks succeed, I will eat shit."
