"Old Xu, please talk to President Dong first, and I'll answer the phone." Zhou Dongsheng expressed his apology to Dong Chengjie, then stood up, walked a few more steps, and answered the phone.
Of course, this phone call was not from Chen Shijie. Where in the world could there be so many things that just happened?
All coincidences are just planned in advance.
The essence of business is information gap, even in emerging industries.
What Zhou Dongsheng masters is precisely the extremely critical information gap, so even if the status of the two parties is not equal, he can still dominate, even psychologically.
The main reason why I want to sign a contract once a year, in addition to the live broadcast platform that Principal Wang may start in advance, is that the value of the leading anchor will develop to a very outrageous level.
The rise of the live broadcast industry has allowed countless capitals to smell the benefits and build platforms to join the industry. The anchors of major platforms have become popular in the eyes of capital.
With the rush of capital, the value of popular anchors has begun to grow explosively, and they have become expensive "pigs" in the live broadcast industry.
Not to mention the distance, in less than 2 years, Huya Platform will sign Mice, known as the number one e-sports goddess, at a sky-high nine-digit price, setting an industry record!
At this current time point, neither the traffic of the platform nor the worth of popular anchors can be compared with that of the next one or two years.
In addition to getting money from the platform, popular anchors also have more options to use e-commerce channels to earn money from fans, and monetize their traffic by selling peripherals and meatloaf pancakes.
Under this situation, there are already some top anchors who can earn over 10 million, but there are only a few anchors that the platform actually spends tens of millions to sign.
After all, now, anchors still have to rely more on the platform, but when the leading anchor can occupy one-third or even more than half of the platform's traffic, the roles of both parties may be reversed.
Neither the platform nor the anchors may have imagined how crazy the future will be. After all, not everyone can see the future trend.
Zhou Dongsheng, who had mastered this information, had already made preparations before entering this office.
Even if the current Huya platform is wealthy, he will not spend a lot of money on his three melons and two dates. Although his current bargaining chip has weight, it is only weighty.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng chose to use all his advantages, use big banners and smoke bombs to confuse the other party's judgment as much as possible and strive for the maximum benefit for himself.
This is Zhou Dongsheng, a little man. All he can think of is a little "little cleverness". Zhou Dongsheng is also a little worried about whether it will be useful or not.
But there are some things that you have to try. After all, you are not without the cost of trial and error.
After pretending to make the phone call, Zhou Dongsheng returned to his desk and sat down again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dong, I just answered the phone. Where were we talking about just now?" Zhou Dongsheng asked with a casual smile.
Quietly, the positions of both parties seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
After Zhou Dongsheng's informative words and this phone call, Dong Chengjie remained calm on the surface, but his heart was moved. He naturally knew who Mr. Chen was.
Dong Chengjie smiled and took the lead in extending an olive branch.
"Of course, when it comes to cooperation, signing a contract once a year is not a problem. As long as the cooperation is happy, I believe that with the advantages of the Huya platform, Mr. Zhou will understand that we are the best choice."
"If we can cooperate for a long time, we can also give your company the authority of the Huya Platform Platinum Guild. I believe that since Mr. Zhou is an anchor agent, he should understand the guild system of our platform."
As the big brother in the industry, Huya Platform does have its own unique features. Whether it is technical capabilities, guild system and gift system, they are all mature systems used by its predecessor Waiwai Live.
This is where Dong Chengjie’s confidence lies. Although the current Shark Platform is gaining momentum, its profit model is not yet mature. How can it compare with them?
If you just rely on financing to throw money at it, is it better than the Tiger Tooth Platform, which is backed by a listed company and can provide its own blood?
But we still have to compete. We must first win over the three major shark platform anchors in the hands of Little Man Media!
"That's great. I also hope we can have a happy cooperation. After all, we are just following the platform to drink soup."
Next, the two parties had a conversation and reached a preliminary cooperation intention after a lot of back and forth on the signing of the three major anchors of Little Man Media.
The three major anchors of Little People Media: PDD, Su Qian, and Lin Kaixin were all taken away by Dong Chengjie because Zhou Dongsheng was only willing to sign for one year, and the package price was 15 million.
PDD alone accounts for 8 million in annual salary, and he is well-deserved as the number one brother in the media.
If Zhou Dongsheng was willing to sign a long-term contract, Dong Chengjie was willing to make concessions on price and even provide more traffic support, but Zhou Dongsheng remained unmoved.
It may be a good deal in the short term, but binding to the Huya platform is equivalent to missing out on the best dividend period in the next few years, which is not worth it in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes.
As for the specific signing of the contract, it was naturally left to the company's people to handle it. This was also the main reason why Zhou Dongsheng took Xu Kaidao with him.
"It's all about mutual benefit, happy cooperation, Mr. Zhou." Dong Chengjie also stood up and stretched out his hands, shaking hands, which meant that the tens of millions of dollars of business was concluded.
Later, he personally escorted Zhou Dongsheng and the two out of the headquarters building, which was considered a sign of respect.
After returning to the company, Dong Chengjie also immediately notified various departments to hold a meeting. Naturally, he had to find ways to maximize the benefits of the money spent.
How can it be enough to just poach the three major anchors of Shark Platform? We have to publicize this news widely to dampen Shark’s energy!
…
When the two of them got back to the car, Xu Kaidao couldn't help but ask: "That boss, wouldn't you completely offend Shark Platform by doing this?"
As the three major anchors in the hands of Little People Media, their ability to sell at high prices is naturally inseparable from the support of Shark Platform.
Since Liu's famous scene of "reverse smoking", both emoticons and various videos have been spread all over the Internet, and he has become famous among game anchors.
Liu also seized this opportunity and converted the popularity into his own traffic through various "banana pig skin" mantras he worked hard to live broadcast, which also brought a lot of traffic to the Shark platform.
Compared with the current Shark Brother, Dazhi is a bit inferior, but he is still among the best, so the Shark Platform provides a lot of support.
And Liu did not eat alone. From time to time he would play ward rounds with the audience, focusing on his own people, which also brought a lot of popularity to Su Qian and Lin Kaixin.
These three major anchors also have their own fixed audiences and traffic, otherwise Dong Chengjie would not offer high prices to package them away.
But in the eyes of Shark Platform, this is no less than "repaying kindness with hatred". Little Man Media does not only have three anchors.
Zhou Dongsheng sat in the back row and closed his eyes to relax.
"It's just normal business behavior, not to mention offending. What's more, there are only permanent interests and no permanent friends."
"What's more, we still have so many anchors on the Shark Platform. At most, I can apologize to Mr. Chen tomorrow."
Zhou Dongsheng has his own considerations, and there is no need to tell Xu Kaidao all these considerations, and he may not understand them if he does.
Trees are moved to death, people are moved to life, and the three major anchors jumped to the Huya platform, which is equivalent to cashing out the traffic accumulated by the Shark platform.
Bringing a group of loyal viewers and fans into the development of the Huya platform is equivalent to bringing a wave of traffic to the Huya platform, and at the same time, it may also be fed back by the Huya platform's own traffic.
Dong Chengjie wants the traffic of the three major anchors, and Zhou Dongsheng also wants to use the traffic of the Huya platform to develop a wave.
Of course, if your live streaming style does not adapt to the new platform, you may lose your traffic while changing jobs and not get new traffic replenishment, thus becoming a shooting star in the anchor world.
With rewards, there are naturally risks. There is no business that is guaranteed to make money without losing money.
As for the Shark Platform, there will certainly be a loss of traffic, but the departure of the three major anchors means there will be more vacancies, which is also a good opportunity for some anchors.
It’s not like Zhou Dongsheng can cultivate three major anchors with only three cards in his hand, can’t he cultivate a few more?
For example, the newly signed curly baboon?
With two of the three fantasy gods in hand, one person can develop on one platform and accumulate traffic. In Zhou Dongsheng's opinion, this is the best script.
…
PS: The miserable author has a stiff neck today. It’s too painful. A hot man can’t write, so we’ll just use his contract as a bonus and won’t write about his plot in detail.
The recommendation effect has been good recently. Many new friends have come here. Many suggestions and ideas have been of great help to me. Thank you all for your support. The new author is not a master, so he can only do his best to make the plot more reasonable!
After all, novels are based on reality and are higher than reality. I hope this story can bring you some fun.
