Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 937
Chapter 937: Many Spoiler Dogs In The ICL League!
This plan quickly formed in Pei Qian’s mind.
The most precious thing in the Cold-Faced Lady’s gourmet laboratory was actually the vendors around the country.
These vendors had been screened by countless customers. Each of them had one or two unique skills. As long as their unique skills became quantifiable standard assembly line operations, the Cold-Faced Lady would be able to continuously release new dishes and the shop would continue to expand.
However, what if Pei Qian used the ‘snack market’ to intercept these outstanding vendors?
He would give them better treatment so that they could set up their stalls in the snack market. No matter how good their business was, the money they earned would be within their control.
What’s more, this method was completely reasonable.
Pei Qian could not suppress a certain department without any evidence. He could not do anything that was unreasonable. However, if he supported another department that earned less money and weakened the original department objectively, that would not be a problem.
That was because everyone would think that it was because Boss Pei had different focus and goals. They would not think that Boss Pei was deliberately causing trouble.
The more vendors the Cold-Faced Lady found, the more vendors the snack market would poach. This way, even if he could not completely stop the Cold-Faced Lady from earning money, it could at least delay the process of earning money.
Pei Qian felt that he could try this plan.
However, the question was, who would be in charge of this project?
Pei Qian thought about it carefully and felt that he had to dismantle the Cold-Faced Lady from the inside.
The person in charge of the Cold-Faced Lady now was Qi Yan. This person was originally Meng Chang’s assistant and was in charge of advertising and marketing. She should not have much control over the Cold-Faced Lady.
The person most suitable to be in charge of the ‘snack market’ project was Qi Yan’s direct subordinate.
That was because that person would not be able to see promotion opportunities with Qi Yan as his immediate superior. Once he became the person-in-charge of the “snack market” and was on the same level as Qi Yan, he would definitely think of all ways to achieve results and think of ways to weaken the Cold-Faced Lady.
Pei Qian immediately decided to make a trip to the company and look for the HR department to check on the current HR structure of the Cold-Faced Lady. He wanted to see who was the most suitable person to be in charge of the ‘snack market’.
Of course, this matter could not be rushed.
The Cold-Faced Lady was still incurring losses after all. It would not be a matter of three to five days even if it could be profitable in the future.
Thus, Pei Qian had to study more about it. It would not be too late to decide on this personnel tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and assign him tasks.
…
4: 50 PM.
Shanghai, Wolf Fang live-stream headquarters.
Zhu Yan was in his Vice-President’s office, waiting for the premiere of the ICL league live-stream at Wolf Fang live-stream.
News of the broadcasting rights distribution of the ICL league had spread throughout the internet yesterday and caused a heated discussion online.
Some netizens said that Boss Pei’s plan was really smooth. Not only did he get the broadcasting rights for free, but he also made a huge profit from it. He was a money-making genius.
Some netizens also said that Boss Pei was obviously selling it too quickly. The ICL league’s exclusive broadcast was a piece of fat meat. He could totally eat more.
Of course, netizens’ discussions were all hearsay. They all originated from rumors and knew nothing about the details of the contract.
Most netizens’ enthusiasm for this matter only lasted for a day before it gradually faded.
After all, it was good news that several live-streaming platforms had obtained broadcasting rights for the ICL league for most people. They could watch it on their favorite live-stream platforms.
The viewing experience of Bunny Tail’s live-stream might not be bad, but many viewers had their own preferred live-stream platform after all. It would be uncomfortable to switch to Bunny Tail’s live-stream.
Zhu Yan was very sure that Wolf Fang would definitely be able to gain some popularity after live-streaming the ICL league.
That was because many of Wolf Fang’s old viewers had gone to Bunny Tail live-stream in order to watch the ICL league. Now that Wolf Fang’s live-stream had the same content, why would they still go to the Bunny Tail live-stream? They could just watch Wolf Fang live-stream.
The viewers would definitely make Wolf’s live-stream look better.
Soon, it was 5 PM. The ICL league’s broadcast officially began!
Wolf Fang Live-Stream was the same as other live-stream platforms. The ICL league live-stream was 30 seconds slower than Bunny Tail.
Originally, there was a promotional page countdown before the competition began. However, it would easily be exposed if the countdown did not match the system’s time. Therefore, Long Yu Corporation specially created a 30-second-long introduction.
They would first play the title introduction before entering the official live-stream once the competition officially began.
It might still be a little stiff but it should not be a problem to fool 90% of the audience.
Soon, the first round officially began!
Zhu Yan himself could not understand IOI’s competition, but MOBA games were relatively easy to understand compared to games like FPS and chess. Killing, dismantling towers, pushing bases, the difference in power between the red and blue teams was clear at a glance. Even people who did not understand the game mechanism could roughly understand the fun.
Zhu Yan watched the competition while checking the popularity of the live-stream through the data platform.
The viewers in the live-stream saw two million viewers, but that was obviously fake. In reality, there were less than twenty thousand viewers.
Zhu Yan felt that this number was acceptable and was within his expectations.
Initially, the number of people watching the ICL league on Bunny Tail Live-Stream was only about 70,000 to 80,000. Now that they were scattered to six live-stream platforms, the number of people would definitely be severely diluted.
Of course, there were also some hardcore viewers on Wolf Fang’s live-stream. Previously, they had not watched the ICL league because it was being broadcasted exclusively at Bunny Tail. Now, they realized that their own platform also had the ICL league. They would also come over to take a look. This crowd could not be underestimated.
However, it was only the first day after all. There would not be many people.
Zhu Yan was already very satisfied to have more than 20,000 viewers.
The bullet screen comments in the live-stream were very dense. There were more than 20,000 viewers after all. The bullet screen was filled with bullet screen comments. Coupled with the quick bullet screen comments and the robot’s bullet screen comments, the entire live-stream looked very lively.
The popularity of two million yuan gave people the feeling that the ICL league was very popular.
Zhu Yan was very satisfied with this. It looked like he had bought the right broadcasting rights for the ICL league. It had an obvious effect on the popularity of Wolf Fang’s live-streaming website!
However, he suddenly saw a few discordant bullet screen comments just as he was feeling pleased with himself.
“Holy sh*t! We’re going to make a comeback!”
“We’ve lost this round!”
“I’m dying of laughter. This mid lane is too criminal, an iron war criminal!”
“Next, please take a good look at the exciting performance of this brother in the middle lane! He would not be able to do this without ten years of cerebral thrombosis!”
Zhu Yan was confused by the bullet screen comments.
What was going on?
Both sides were pulling and probing each other on the map on the live-stream. They were in a dilemma. There was no fight at all.
What did the bullet screen comments mean?
His doubts were quickly answered because the two teams suddenly broke out in the team battle. The heroes who were pulling at each other kept throwing their skills, and the situation on the field changed instantly!
One of the teams had already obtained a good economic advantage. However, in this team battle, the mid-laner hero of this team threw out a series of combo attacks in an extremely cool manner. All of them were thrown into the air, and none of them hit!
After this suffocating blind competition, the other party immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack. First, they killed the mid-laner with cerebral hemorrhage. Then, they took advantage of the victory to kill the three members of the other party. Then, they attacked the opponent’s high ground in one go and destroyed the entire road. The situation on the field instantly took a 180-degree turn!
Now, Zhu Yan understood what the bullet screen comments were saying.
They were talking about the group battle that would happen in 30 seconds…
Of course, strictly speaking, this group battle had already happened. It was just that Wolf Fang’s live-stream had been delayed by 30 seconds, which resulted in such a time difference.
These bored viewers had obviously opened the live-stream of Bunny Tail and Wolf Fang at the same time. When they saw that the team battle had started, they immediately ran over to spoil them!
After this group battle, the live-stream was filled with question marks.
“????”
“What do you mean, spoiler?”
“F*ck, why are you faster than me?”
“What’s going on?”
“Spoiler dog, go to hell!”
Those gamers who had been spoiled like Zhu Yan were furious and sent these bullet screen comments.
This was equivalent to a certain university student watching the game with full concentration. The players on both sides kept passing the ball and pulling. Suddenly, there was a loud cheer from outside the dormitory!
After about ten seconds, he scored!
This kind of spoiler could make people who were watching the live-stream vomit blood.
The ICL league might be different from football, but the anger after being spoilt was definitely the same.
Most people liked to watch live-streams and not the records. That was because “what was happening in real time” was meaningful. “What had already happened” was not that meaningful.
Now, a perfectly good live-stream has been delayed for thirty seconds. How uncomfortable was that!
Of course, thirty seconds was not a big problem if he were to watch the competition. However, the key was that many people watching the live-stream could see their bullet screen comments!
The viewing experience would be completely ruined if they were spoilt by the bullet screen comments.
What’s more, there were many people who were bored out of their minds. It was obviously a disgusting act, but they enjoyed it.
Some people would even open several live-stream platforms at the same time. When they saw a comeback on Bunny Tail live-stream, they would replicate the same words on several live-stream platforms, highlighting a person who harmed others without benefiting himself!
These people were crazy spoilers and affected the viewing experience of other audiences. Naturally, the other audiences would attack them together and criticize them.
Naturally, Wolf Fang Live-Stream’s official platform was included in the criticism.
“What is this rubbish platform? Why is it slower than others?”
“They’re already done with the first wave, why are you still here?”
“Hurry up! Jerk!”
Zhu Yan felt light-headed seeing the bullet screen filled with comments.
How could this be!
Previously, he had also bought some broadcasting rights, but he had never signed a condition like “delay the broadcast by 30 seconds”. As this was the first time he had signed it, he did not think too much about it and felt that 30 seconds was not a big deal.
Now, he realized that it was not harmless at all! It was obviously very damaging!
The audience was about to rebel!
Zhu Yan watched as the number of viewers in the live-stream dropped from 27,000 to 23,000, and a huge number of people ran away.
Obviously, these people were annoyed by the spoilers and went to other platforms to find faster live-streams!
Zhu Yan was so angry that he almost fainted. Every time a live user left, it was as painful as cutting his flesh.
“Zhao Xuming, what a lousy idea!”
“So you’re working with Boss Pei to plot against us?”
Zhu Yan was instantly enraged and threw all the blame onto Zhao Xuming.
After all, this was Zhao Xuming’s suggestion. Naturally, he had to take the blame!
Previously, Zhao Xuming had conflicts with these live-stream platforms. It was not impossible for him to use this opportunity to deal with these live-stream platforms.
On further thought, Zhao Xuming and Boss Pei might have made an unspeakable deal!
