At the same time, Pei Qian was watching the live-stream of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. His head was filled with question marks.
Who was this old man?
What is he talking about?
Oh, that's right. Yu Pingan seemed to have called to say that Bunny Tail Live-Stream wanted people from Useful App. They wanted those young lecturers and scholars to go to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to give lectures.
It's done so quickly?
This efficiency was way too high, wasn't it?
Pei Qian had thought that it would take at least a month for these young lecturers and scholars to officially enter Bunny Tail Live-Stream. In the end, there was no need to prepare at all. These people had already begun teaching the moment Bunny Tail Live-Stream was released!
Pei Qian was not particularly surprised that these young lecturers and scholars were live-streaming. However, the next question puzzled Pei Qian.
Why were there so many people watching?
This is a lecture, why are there more and more people in the livestream room? The bullet screen is getting denser? There were even people who gave him gifts.
Looking at the audience's reaction, it seemed like they were quite impressed!
Although the popularity of the platform was very low, the atmosphere in all the live broadcast rooms was very good. Unlike other live broadcast platforms, there was no crosstalk, fishing, or cursing on the bullet screen. The audience seemed to be very well-mannered.
The scariest thing was that even the promotional video had become positive!
Feeling that something was wrong, Pei Qian immediately dialed Old Ma's number.
"Hello? Brother Qian? How is it? Bunny Tail Live-Stream is not bad, right?! Why don't you try giving a gift? You can give carrots and vegetables. Let me tell you, the carrot icon is too cute! "
Ma Yang's voice was filled with excitement. However, his focus seemed to have deviated from Pei Qian's.
Pei Qian did not answer him and asked directly, "Who thought of inviting these young lecturers and scholars to Bunny Tail Live-Stream?"
Ma Yang was confused. "Isn't that what you want?"
"?"
What the f * ck are you talking about!
Since when did I have such intentions!
Pei Qian looked shocked. "When did I say that?"
Ma Yang explained, "Brother Qian, didn't you give me a promotional video previously? Isn't the content of the promotional video hinting that Bunny Tail Live-Stream can't just be a pastime for the audience? They have to gain something from watching the live-stream, right? "
Pei Qian could not help but be dumbfounded. For a moment, he did not know how to answer.
After such a long time, it turned out that Old Ma had misunderstood the promotional video!
In other words, the source of the blame was actually Meng Chang?
However, that was clearly not Meng Chang's intention. It could only be said to be the result of coincidence.
Strange Old Horse? Or should he blame Meng Chang?
Nothing seemed right.
Pei Qian felt a little helpless. In the end, this matter had nothing to do with anyone. He could only say that it was a beautiful misunderstanding.
Pei Qian had no choice but to give up on this topic. After some thought, he asked, "Then … have the treatment for these young lecturers and scholars been decided?"
Ma Yang answered immediately, "It's all settled. Brother Qian, don't worry. As long as they could guarantee the duration of the live broadcast, they would have a fixed salary. They would also receive a high percentage of the audience's gifts. The treatment was absolutely reliable! We've already signed the contract. "
"…"
This efficiency was really fast.
Pei Qian had wanted to ask if there was any way to salvage the situation. However, he did not expect the contract to be signed. Pei Qian thought about it carefully. He had to uphold the spirit of the contract. It did not make sense for him to stop them from broadcasting now.
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "Alright, that's all for now. I'm hanging up."
Even though Pei Qian had already known in advance that these young lecturers and scholars were coming to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to lecture, he did not expect them to arrive so quickly and with such a good effect!
If these people had only come a week or even a month after Bunny Tail Live-Stream officially started, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not have much popularity by then. Naturally, not many people would watch it and it would not have any serious impact.
However, the current situation was that these people happened to come to lecture when Bunny Tail Live-Stream had just been released. Especially with a true industry big shot like Professor Kong Zhemin in charge. This immediately labeled Bunny Tail Live-Stream as a "professional learning platform" in everyone's minds. It could not be erased!
A careless move had a very far-reaching impact.
However, Pei Qian thought about it and realized that there was no good solution now.
He could only say that the start of Bunny Tail Live-Stream had exceeded his expectations. It had obtained a certain amount of attention and popularity based on its differentiated operation from other live-stream platforms. However, could this popularity continue? Pei Qian felt that it probably could not.
Most of the audience should be looking for something new. After all, it was rare to teach on a live-stream platform.
Once these people's popularity passed, they would definitely return to other live-stream platforms to watch live-streams and beautiful women dance.
At that thought, Pei Qian felt that the start of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not smooth. However, it was far from being out of control. He should continue to observe before making a decision.
At the very least, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was only popular at the moment. It was definitely not profitable.
That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream had too many expenses, including bandwidth fees, employee salaries, and salaries for these young lecturers and scholars … There was only a small amount of gift money in terms of income. What's more, most of it had to be distributed to the streamers.
Thus, there should be no possibility of profits in the short term. There was no need to worry too much.
As for the culprit, Meng Chang …
Forget it, he probably did not feel good either. After all, Bunny Tail Live-Stream had a good start. His promotional video had contributed greatly. He could forget about the commission.
Pei Qian also believed that Meng Chang was not trying to scam him on purpose, so there was no need to call to question him.
At that moment, Pei Qian's phone rang. It was Zhang Yuan.
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
He was a little surprised. What could be going on with the E-Sports Department?
Everything was going smoothly in the GPL competition. Could it be that there was news about the ICL organized by Long Yu Corporation?
Pei Qian immediately picked up the phone.
"Boss Pei, I have something to report to you. It's like this. The Vice Presidents of a few live-stream platforms have called me. They were a little nervous after knowing that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was released. They wanted to ask if the GPL broadcasting rights we signed with them would be affected. "
GPL broadcasting rights?
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
At the moment, the GPL broadcasting rights had been sold to a few other larger live-stream platforms. These platforms did not have exclusive broadcasting rights but they could all broadcast GPL. They would broadcast their own and not affect each other.
However, the release of Bunny Tail Live-Stream obviously sent a dangerous message to these live-stream platforms.
Industry insiders were well-informed and could obtain information that ordinary viewers could not obtain. These people obviously attached great importance to Bunny Tail Live-Stream after knowing that it was Boss Pei's business.
That was because the GPL broadcasting rights were ultimately still in Boss Pei's hands!
If Boss Pei chose to break the contract, it would mean that only Bunny Tail Live-Stream could broadcast the GPL league …
Of course, that was not very likely.
However, don't forget that there were still a large number of live-streamers broadcasting GOG and Tengda's games on these platforms. After the GPL's spring competition, there was still the summer competition, the international invitational competition, and next year's spring competition!
If Boss Pei was determined to take back all of this content and broadcast it exclusively on Bunny Tail Live-Stream, it would be a huge blow to all the live-stream platforms.
Their content would be unprecedentedly weakened, and the content of Bunny Tail Live-Stream would be directly bound to Tengda Games. It would be unprecedentedly strengthened.
Of course, such an unreasonable and domineering method would also be a form of harm to Tengda. After all, other live-stream platforms would also bring popularity to Tengda's games. Banning other live-stream platforms and wanting to monopolize it would also greatly reduce their actual popularity.
However, these live-stream platforms knew very well that Boss Pei had always been a maverick person. Such a thing might really happen.
Thus, they were all very nervous and could only call Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan could not answer and could only continue asking for instructions.
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment.
Needless to say, he was really tempted.
At the moment, the GPL had already signed contracts with several live-stream platforms. If they breached the contract … they would have to pay a huge penalty!
However, on further thought, he decided to forget it. This sum of money was outside of his plan. Compared to the previous broadcasting contract of tens of millions of yuan, the penalty would be at least three to five times more. It would not be easy to fork out such a huge sum of money in one go under the premise that the expenses of various industries had already been arranged.
What's more, Pei Qian did not want to compete with other live-stream platforms for popularity.
He had never thought of making Bunny Tail Live-Stream the industry leader of live-stream platforms. He only wanted to maintain an unpopular and niche live-stream platform to continue burning money.
Since that was the case, all the more he should not engage in GPL exclusive broadcasting.
Pei Qian would not do such a stupid thing if he wanted to burn money and accidentally burn all his competitors to death. Instead, he would earn more money.
At that thought, Pei Qian said, "Reply to them that Bunny Tail Live-Stream is developing in a different direction from their platforms. It will not form a direct competition. Tell them not to worry. GOG and GPL's live-stream rights will not be affected. They can continue broadcasting without worry. "
Pei Qian's words were true. 'It will not form a direct competition' meant that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not doing it for popularity or money. It just wanted to pay some bandwidth fees. Indeed, it would not form a competitive relationship with other live-stream platforms.
Zhang Yuan said, "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll reply to them now."
…
Guangzhou, ZZ Live-Stream headquarters.
"Alright, Boss Zhang, I understand. Thank you!"
The company's Vice-President, Liu Liang, hung up Zhang Yuan's call. He heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a little confused.
ZZ Live-Stream and Tengda's cooperation could be traced back to the ZZ Cup competition last August. At that time, ZZ Live-Stream had just obtained a huge sum of funding and was developing rapidly. It had worked with DGE Club and other GOG Clubs to create a huge wave of popularity for its own platform.
After that, ZZ Live-Stream successfully obtained live-stream rights from Tengda, be it the live-stream of the international invitational tournament or the GPL Spring Competition. Liu Liang and Zhang Yuan naturally established a good working relationship.
However, even so, Liu Liang's work had not been smooth recently.
At the moment, the live-stream industry was about to become a red sea. After a huge amount of capital poured in, veteran live-stream platforms like them would be greatly impacted. Many new platforms would spend a huge sum of money to poach live-streamers, engage in price wars, and even hire fake reviewers to smear and report other platforms. Liu Liang was exhausted from dealing with them. He was extremely busy every day.
Thus, Liu Liang was terrified when he heard that Boss Pei had also created a Bunny Tail live-stream.
It would be terrible if Boss Pei joined the live-stream platform war!
Money was only one aspect. The key was that Tengda had several popular games in its hands. If Tengda said that it would not allow other live-stream platforms to broadcast their own games, these live-stream platforms would not have any choice but to obediently follow.
That was why Liu Liang called Zhang Yuan immediately to ask about Boss Pei's attitude.
Liu Liang could finally rest assured now that Zhang Yuan had called to reply and said that Boss Pei did not have the intention of 'killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred'.
However, Liu Liang had a new question at the same time.
According to Zhang Yuan on the phone, Boss Pei had personally said that "Bunny Tail Live-Stream is developing in a different direction from other live-stream platforms. It does not form a direct competitive relationship" and told them not to worry.
Here was the problem.
Why was Bunny Tail Live-Stream developing in a different direction compared to other live-stream platforms? Why did it not form a competitive relationship?
Everyone knew that Boss Pei was a business genius. He often did not cater to the needs of users. Instead, he knew how to create demand and even saw the future development trend of certain industries.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream was developing in a different direction compared to other live-stream platforms. Did that mean that Boss Pei did not think highly of the current development direction of the live-stream industry and had other views on the future development of the industry?
This seemed to be a problem worth studying!
