Chapter 916 A false alarm from other live broadcast platforms
At the same time, Pei Qian was also watching the live broadcast of Tuwei Live, with question marks floating over his head.
Who is this old man?
What is he talking about?
Oh, by the way, Yu Pingan seemed to have called before and said that Tuwei Live is looking for people from Youyou APP and wants young lecturers and scholars to give live lectures on Tuwei Live.
Has it been done so quickly?
This efficiency is too high!
Pei Qian originally thought that it would take months to prepare for these young lecturers and scholars to officially join Tuwei Live, but it turned out that there was no need for preparation at all. As soon as Tuwei Live went online, these people had already started giving lectures on it!
If Pei Qian was not particularly surprised that these young lecturers and scholars came to the live broadcast, then the next question was very puzzling for Pei Qian.
Why are so many people watching?
This is a lecture. Why are there more and more people in the live broadcast room? The barrage is getting denser and denser? Some people are even giving away gifts. Is that okay?
Judging from the audience’s reaction, it seems they quite bought it!
Although the popularity of the platform is very low, the atmosphere in all live broadcast rooms is very good. Like other live broadcast platforms, you can't see any comments, trolls, or insults. The audience seems to be very high-quality.
The most frightening thing is that even the promotional video has a positive meaning!
Sensing that something was not going well, Pei Qian immediately dialed Lao Ma's phone number.
"Hello? Brother Qian? How are you? Tuwei's live broadcast is pretty good, isn't it? Try giving a gift. I know how to give you carrots and vegetables. That carrot icon, let me tell you, it's so cute!"
Ma Yang's voice was filled with excitement, but his focus seemed to have seriously deviated from Pei Qian's.
Pei Qian did not answer his question and asked directly: "Who on earth thought of inviting these young lecturers and scholars to come to Tuwei Live Broadcast?"
Ma Yang was very confused: "Isn't this what you meant?"
Pei Qian: "?"
What the hell do I mean!
When did I have this idea?
Pei Qian looked shocked: "When did I say that?"
Ma Yang explained: "Brother Qian, didn't you give me a promotional video before? Didn't the content of the promotional video imply that Tuwei Live Broadcast should not only be used as entertainment for the audience, but also allow them to gain something while watching the live broadcast?
What?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but be stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was the promotional video that made Lao Ma Hui get the wrong idea!
In other words, the source of the blame actually lies with Meng Chang?
But this was obviously not Meng Chang's intention. It could only be said to be the result of a mistake.
Blame Lao Ma? Or blame Meng Chang?
None of it seems right.
Pei Qian was a little helpless. In the end, this matter had nothing to do with anyone. It could only be said to be a beautiful misunderstanding.
Pei Qian had no choice but to give up the topic, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Then...the salary of these young lecturers and scholars has been decided?"
Ma Yang immediately replied: "It's all decided, brother Qian, you can rest assured. As long as the live broadcast is guaranteed to last long, they will get a fixed salary, and they will be given a high share of the audience's gifts. The treatment is absolutely reliable! The contract has been signed."
Pei Qian: "..."
This efficiency is really fast.
Pei Qian originally wanted to ask to see if there was any room for redemption, but he didn't expect that the contract had already been signed. Pei Qian thought about it carefully and realized that there must be a contractual spirit. Now it makes no sense to say that it won't be broadcast.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do this for now, I'll hang up."
Although Pei Qian knew in advance that these young lecturers and scholars were coming to Tuwei Live to give lectures, he never expected that they would come so quickly and the results would be so good!
If these people come a week or even a month after Tuwei Live is officially launched, then Tuwei Live will not have much popularity by then, and naturally not many people will watch it, and it will not have any serious impact.
But the current situation is that these people happened to come to give lectures when Tuwei Live Broadcast was first launched, especially when there were real industry leaders like Professor Kong Zhemin sitting in charge. This suddenly marked Tuwei Live Broadcast in everyone’s minds.
It has been labeled as a “professional learning platform” and cannot be erased!
One careless move had far-reaching consequences.
But Pei Qian thought about it and realized that there was no good way to do it now.
It can only be said that the start of Tuwei Live Broadcast was a bit beyond his expectation. It has gained a certain degree of attention and popularity by virtue of its differentiated operation from other live broadcast platforms. But can this popularity continue? Pei Qian thinks it should
cannot.
Most of the viewers should be fresh, after all, it is rare to give lectures on a live broadcast platform.
After these people's three-minute heat is over, they will definitely return to other live broadcast platforms to watch game live broadcasts and beautiful girls dancing.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt that the start of Tuwei Live Broadcast was a bit unsatisfactory, but it was far from out of control, so he should continue to wait and see before making a decision.
At least at present, Tuwei Live Broadcast is only popular and has absolutely no profit.
Because Tuwei Live Broadcast has too many expenses, including bandwidth costs, employee salaries, and salaries for these young lecturers and scholars... and the income is only a small amount of gift money, and most of it has to be divided among the anchors.
.
Therefore, there should be absolutely no possibility of profit in the short term, so don't worry too much.
As for Meng Chang, the culprit...
Forget it, he probably doesn't feel good about it either. After all, Tuwei Live has gotten off to a good start, and his promotional videos are the main contributors, so don't even think about commissions.
Pei Qian also believed that Meng Chang did not deliberately cheat him, so there was no need to call him to hold him accountable.
At this moment, Pei Qian's phone rang, it was Zhang Yuan.
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
He was a little surprised. What could happen in the e-sports department?
The current competition of GPL is going well. Is it possible that there is news about the ICL organized by Longyu Group?
Pei Qian immediately picked up the phone.
"Mr. Pei, I have something to report to you. The vice presidents in charge of several live broadcast platforms have called me. They knew that they were a little nervous after Tuwei Live went online, and they wanted to ask about the contracts we signed with them before.
Will the GPL broadcast rights be affected?"
GPL broadcast rights?
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
At present, the broadcast rights of GPL have been sold to several other relatively large live broadcast platforms. Although these platforms do not have exclusive broadcast rights, they can all broadcast GPL. Each broadcasts its own broadcast without affecting each other.
However, the launch of Tuwei Live has obviously sent a dangerous message to these live broadcast platforms.
People in the industry are well-informed and can obtain a lot of information that ordinary viewers cannot obtain. After knowing that Tuwei Live Broadcast is Mr. Pei’s industry, these people obviously attach great importance to it.
Because in the final analysis, the broadcast rights of GPL are still in the hands of Mr. Pei!
If Mr. Pei chooses to break the contract, it means that only Tuwei Live can broadcast the GPL league on all platforms...
Of course, this possibility is not high.
But don’t forget, there are still a large number of anchors on these platforms broadcasting games owned by GOG and Tenda. After the GPL spring competition, there will be summer competition, global invitational competition and next year’s spring competition!
If Mr. Pei is determined to take back all these contents and broadcast them exclusively on Tuwei Live, it will be a huge blow to all live broadcast platforms.
Their content will be weakened as never before, while the content of Tuwei Live will be directly bound to Tenda Games and enhanced as never before.
Of course, this kind of arrogant and overbearing approach will also be a harm to Tenda. After all, other live broadcast platforms will in turn bring popularity to Tenda's games. Banning other live broadcast platforms and trying to eat alone will also allow you to actually gain
The heat is significantly reduced.
But these live broadcast platforms know very well that Mr. Pei has always been a maverick, so this kind of thing is really possible.
Therefore, they were all very nervous and had no choice but to call Zhang Yuan to ask.
And Zhang Yuan couldn't answer, so he could only continue to ask for instructions.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment.
Needless to say, he was really moved.
At present, GPL has signed broadcast contracts with several live broadcast platforms. If this is a breach of contract... there will be a huge amount of liquidated damages!
But after thinking about it, I forgot about it. This money was not part of his plan. Compared with the previous broadcast contract worth tens of millions, the liquidated damages would have to be at least three to five times higher, and the expenses in various industries have already been arranged.
Under the premise, it is really not easy to come up with such a large amount of money at once.
What's more, Pei Qian doesn't want to compete with other live broadcast platforms for popularity.
He never wanted to make Tuwei Live the industry leader in live broadcast platforms. He just wanted to maintain an unpopular, niche live broadcast platform and continue to burn money.
In this case, it is even more inappropriate to engage in exclusive broadcasting of GPL.
He was eager for quick success and wanted to burn money, but accidentally burned all his competitors to death and made more money instead. Pei Qian would not do such a stupid thing.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "Reply them, Tuwei Live has a different development direction from their platforms, and will not form a direct competitive relationship, so they can rest assured. The live broadcast rights of GOG Games and GPL will not be affected.
If there is no impact, you can continue to broadcast it with confidence.”
What Pei Qian said is true. "It will not form a direct competitive relationship." What he means is that Tuwei Live Broadcast is neither for popularity nor for money. It is just to pay for some bandwidth fees. It will indeed not compete with other live broadcast platforms.
constitute a competitive relationship.
Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will reply to them right away."
…
Yangcheng, ZZ Live Headquarters.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand, thank you!"
Liu Liang, the company's vice president, hung up the phone call from Zhang Yuan. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little confused at the same time.
The cooperation between ZZ Live and Tenda can be traced back to the ZZ Cup Live Competition in August last year. At that time, ZZ Live had just received a large amount of financing and was developing rapidly. It cooperated with DGE Club and other GOG clubs to create products for its own platform.
A big wave of heat.
Later, whether it was the live broadcast of the Global Invitational Tournament or the live broadcast of the GPL Spring Split, ZZ Live successfully obtained the live broadcast rights from Tenda, and Liu Liang and Zhang Yuan naturally established a good cooperative relationship.
But having said that, Liu Liang's recent work has not been smooth.
At present, the live broadcast industry is about to become a red ocean. After a large amount of capital has poured in, these old live broadcast platforms have been severely impacted. Many new platforms spend a lot of money to poach anchors, engage in price wars, and even pay trolls to smear them and report others.
The platform made Liu Liang tired of dealing with it, and he was a little exhausted every day.
Therefore, after hearing that Mr. Pei also had a rabbit tail live broadcast, Liu Liang was frightened.
It would be incredible if Mr. Pei also joins the live broadcast platform war!
Money is only one aspect. The key is that Tenda currently has several popular games. If Tenda says that it does not allow other live streaming platforms to broadcast its own games, then these live streaming platforms will have no choice but to comply.
That's why Liu Liang called Zhang Yuan immediately and wanted to ask Mr. Pei's attitude.
Now that Zhang Yuan called and replied, saying that Mr. Pei had no intention of "killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred," Liu Liang could finally rest assured.
But at the same time, Liu Liang had a new question.
According to Zhang Yuan's statement on the phone, Mr. Pei himself said that "Tuwei Live and other live broadcast platforms have different development directions and do not constitute direct competition," and told them not to worry.
Then here comes the problem.
Compared with other live broadcast platforms, how is the development direction of Tuwei Live different? Why does it not constitute a competitive relationship?
As we all know, Pei is always a business wizard. He often does not cater to the needs of users, but knows how to create needs and even sees the future development trends of certain industries.
Compared with other live broadcast platforms, Tuwei Live has a different development direction. Does that mean that Mr. Pei is not optimistic about the current development direction of the live broadcast industry and has other views on the future development of the industry?
This seems to be a question worthy of further study!
