Liu Liang was very sure that the other live-stream platforms would definitely receive the same information at about the same time: Boss Pei's Bunny Tail live-stream would not form a direct competitive relationship with them.
Liu Liang and these live-stream platforms were old rivals after all. They knew each other very well.
Based on Liu Liang's understanding of Boss Pei, those words were most likely true.
That was because Boss Pei had always been an open and aboveboard person. He rarely used deception to deal with his competitors.
Of course, there were times when Pei Qian would mislead his competitors in terms of tactics. However, even then, he would not deceive or lie. Instead, he would use a more brilliant method such as using words and 'partial truths' to divert his opponent's attention elsewhere.
Liu Liang felt that the other live-stream platforms would most likely relax after hearing Boss Pei's words and not investigate further.
Literally, Bunny Tail Live-Stream seemed to want to be a knowledge live-stream platform, similar to online classes.
If this model was used, it would be equivalent to paying for knowledge. For example, the first half of a professor's series of courses would be free while the second half would be charged. That way, as long as the audience was large enough, they would be able to obtain a good income.
Following this train of thought, the main competitors of Bunny Tail Live-Stream were websites that sold public classes and paid for knowledge, not other live-stream platforms.
Liu Liang subconsciously thought so as well.
However, after interacting with Zhang Yuan for a long time and hearing about Boss Pei's deeds, Liu Liang suddenly felt that his level was a little shallow.
All of this looked very reasonable but Boss Pei's actions were so reasonable. That was the biggest unreasonable thing in itself!
Everyone knew that Boss Pei would definitely do a series of maverick things when he first entered a new field. It was the same whether it was takeaways, internet cafes, or gyms.
All of Boss Pei's business actions were unexpected and reasonable. In other words, the business behavior when he first entered this field was very puzzling. It was only after this model succeeded that people came to a realization.
On the other hand, Boss Pei's entry into the live-stream platform this time did not achieve that shocking effect even though it gave people an unexpected feeling on the surface.
Did this mean that … Boss Pei's true business model was still hidden under Bunny Tail Live-Stream? Was the current situation of Bunny Tail Live-Stream just a smokescreen?
The more Liu Liang thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
The people in charge of other live broadcasting platforms definitely don't think as much as him, but Liu Liang may be under too much pressure at work, and he is a little overthinking. It is easy to think deeply about everything.
But as soon as he thought about it, he couldn't stop!
"If Boss Pei only wanted to create a knowledge payment platform, why did he have to create a live-stream model and name it XX Live-Stream? You can totally turn it into a public lecture platform like other websites and make a video compilation! "
"Boss Pei said that he would not form a direct competitive relationship with our platforms. Then … does that mean that he would form an indirect competitive relationship?"
"Boss Pei must be optimistic about the future of live-stream platforms. His ultimate goal is definitely not to become a knowledge payment platform. What is his ultimate goal then?"
Liu Liang quickly opened the website of Bunny Tail Live-Stream on his computer and studied it carefully.
The interface was very simple, and the content of the live broadcast was also very simple. No matter how one looked at it, it was just a platform that had not been established for long. It did not seem to have much special features.
Suddenly, Liu Liang noticed something different: the live-stream of all the live-streamers of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was also their personal channel. In other words, live-streams and videos seemed to be one!
There might not be any videos uploaded in the personal channels of these live-streamers but one could imagine the scene of these channels being filled with videos in the future as long as one thought about it a little.
Obviously, Boss Pei's Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not just a live-stream platform. It was more like a combination of live-stream and video platforms!
Compared to traditional live-stream platforms, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would have a large amount of rich and simplified video content. After screening, it could be watched repeatedly by the audience;
Compared to traditional video platforms, the video area of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was more concise. The pushed content would revolve around the live-stream content that the audience had seen. At the same time, it would be easier to increase the audience's stickiness after the identity of the host and UP Master was combined.
Considering the large amount of resources that Tengda had, it might develop rapidly and snowball once Bunny Tail Live-Stream could be promoted. It would have a huge impact on all live-stream platforms and even video websites like Aili Island!
One had to know that Aili Island had only really risen in popularity in the past two years. Boss Pei had already created so many business opportunities. How could he know that he would not catch up?
Liu Liang could not help but feel enlightened. "This situation is more in line with Boss Pei's vision!"
"Could it be that the future development trend that Boss Pei sees is the integration of live-stream platforms, video websites, and even short video platforms?"
"That's why he entered the live-stream industry?"
"At the same time, Boss Pei deliberately released fake news in order to appease live-stream platforms like us. He said that Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not form a direct competitive relationship with us so that we would let down our guard."
"That's true, but it's only limited to the early and middle stages! Once Bunny Tail Live-Stream develops rapidly and reaches a certain scale, it would definitely have a huge impact on all live-stream platforms and even video websites. At that time, even if Boss Pei does not intend to compete with us, we would definitely be in a bad situation! "
The more Liu Liang thought about it, the more flustered he became.
This idea might seem ridiculous but which of Boss Pei's previous actions wasn't ridiculous?
The more ridiculous it was, the more it looked like something Boss Pei would do!
Liu Liang had been troubled by the competition between ZZ Live-Stream and other live-stream platforms recently. His mentality was already very unstable. How could he not think too much now that Boss Pei had suddenly interfered?
"What should we do? We can't just sit back and do nothing, right? "
"Hmm … otherwise, we'll do the same!"
Liu Liang suddenly thought of an idea and came up with a plan.
ZZ Live-Stream could do this as well!
It was nothing more than turning all the live-stream spaces into their personal channels on the basis of the existing live-stream platforms. Then, they would update the live-stream videos of the live-stream!
This function should not be very troublesome to do.
The only problem was that if it was just a video, no one would be able to watch it. After all, most live-streams were more casual. They were not as concise as videos. The fun would plummet if they were recorded.
"Boss Pei must have considered this problem as well. What should Boss Pei do then … "
"Hire a group of people to edit videos for these live-streamers?"
"Yes, that's most likely the case!"
It was definitely unrealistic for live-streamers to edit their own videos. After all, live-streamers were busy live-streaming and did not have much time. What's more, most live-streamers' editing skills were not good.
Artificial intelligence editing? The technology had not developed to that extent yet. It was probably impossible in his lifetime.
The only solution was to hire a group of people to help edit these videos.
However, that would involve a key problem: there were so many live-streamers. Even if they were to hire professional editors for the top live-streamers, it would definitely not be a small number. Each person would be given a salary of a few thousand yuan. If they were to hire professional editors for the top 100 live-streamers, it would be a few hundred thousand yuan a month. If they were to be given some performance bonuses, it would easily be more than a million yuan.
After all, they had to spend money to find talented editors if they wanted the effect to be good. Such talents had a wide range of ways to find a job. Their salaries were generally not low. It would be impossible to hire them without spending a lot of money.
However, after some consideration, Liu Liang felt that the money was worth it.
He would spend millions of yuan every month to gamble on the future.
What's more, it was the future that Boss Pei saw.
At that thought, Liu Liang immediately called his subordinates and asked them to come to his office.
"Develop a new function. Hurry!"
…
…
February 28th, Tuesday …
Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
Ma Yang was in a good mood.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream released the promotional video yesterday and was officially released. Since the official broadcast yesterday, Bunny Tail Live-Stream had not experienced any lag or disconnection. Coupled with the good atmosphere of the bullet screen comments, the viewing experience was very good.
Of course, there was nothing strange about that. After all, they had spent a lot of money to buy bandwidth. In fact, the number of viewers that they had guided in was far less than the upper limit of the website. It would be strange if it was still lagging.
Many live-stream websites had made such a mistake. They had gone online in a bustling manner. A few newly poached live-streamers had started broadcasting at the same time, wanting to create the illusion that the website was very popular. However, they had not expected that there would be too many viewers in an instant and the bandwidth of the website would not be enough. In the end, they could not watch any live-streams.
Thus, the audience that they had painstakingly pulled over ran away in anger. They even spat before they left. The gains did not make up for the losses.
On the other hand, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not encounter such a problem at all.
It was not just for the first day. He reckoned that the bandwidth would not be filled for a long time in the future …
The popularity had obviously decreased even though there were still young scholars and lecturers live-streaming today. This was just as Pei Qian had guessed. When the website was first launched, many people only wanted to watch the show. After the popularity passed, only a small portion of knowledge remained.
However, from today onwards, some freelance live-streamers had joined. That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream's restrictions on live-streamers were extremely loose. Many people felt that this would be their opportunity when they saw a new live-stream platform. They would come over to give it a try if the conditions allowed.
Ma Yang never looked at the complicated data. To him, it was fine as long as the live-stream website did not lag.
At that moment, Chen Yufeng walked over in a hurry.
"Boss Ma, I have something to report to you."
"I just received news from Waiwai Live-Stream that several websites seem to be doing new functions. They want to integrate live-streams and recorded videos together. In other words, they want to copy the model of Bunny Tail Live-Stream!"
Ma Yang was stunned. "Er … and then?"
Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows. "Of course, it's not good! These live-stream platforms have the first-mover advantage. They have a large number of live-streamers and viewers. If they mindlessly follow the operating model of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, it would definitely seriously squeeze our living space! "
Ma Yang finally understood and nodded. "I see. According to what you said, the situation is very serious! What should we do? "
Chen Yufeng shook his head slightly. "This is not easy. There are no patents for similar models. Other live-stream platforms can do it if they want. Why don't … we ask Boss Pei! "
Ma Yang was a little unhappy. "Always asking Brother Qian makes us look like good-for-nothings. We can't solve anything."
"Let's think of a solution ourselves first!"
Ma Yang and Chen Yufeng stared at each other for five minutes.
Ma Yang picked up his phone. "Forget it, I can't think of anything. Let's ask Brother Qian what we should do. "
