Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1239: Hu Xianbin’s New Homecoming

The current live-stream content on Bunny Tail’s live-stream was mainly divided into two types. One type was knowledge science content that was working with Useful App. These scholars were live-streaming and recording videos. They did not want to go to other platforms, and other platforms did not have any motivation to poach them. The other type was the live-stream of E-Sports competition. It had already formed a fixed audience. Without a live-streamer, there was no way to poach them.

Of course, some streamers who were not satisfied with the current situation would still be poached. However, at the moment, these streamers were not the main content of Bunny Tail’s live-stream. They were not the core competitiveness.

Boss Pei’s attitude had always been that you could poach as much as you wanted. I would definitely not stop you. The contract was not stuck at all. You could come and go freely.

Thus, the streamers who remained after poaching were basically streamers who played with their passion and were used to the environment here. What’s more, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not stingy and was rather generous. It entered a relatively stable state.

The platform outside seemed to be offering very high prices, but there were also many additional terms. If he was accidentally cheated, there would be no way to explain.

Thus, many streamers decided to stay in their own fields and operate in peace, maintaining a relatively free state.

The audience was even more so. Those who could not adapt had already run away. Those who had adapted to the focus mode or learning mode every day had already become extremely loyal to the platform. It was easier said than done for other platforms to snatch them away.

Of course, it was also very difficult for Bunny Tail Live-Stream to snatch viewers from other platforms.

Other live-stream platforms would not cast their sights here during the period of the money-burning war. Bunny Tail Live-stream was like a lonely island, far away from the right place.

It was about time.

The reason why he insisted on quitting the money-burning war previously was because he was afraid that he would burn money at that critical juncture. What if other platforms collapsed quickly and became giants?

After all, most live-stream platforms at that time had just started and were relatively inexperienced. Pei Qian was afraid that he would accidentally hit them too hard.

Now, Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream have already stood out. They had money, live-streamers, viewers, and viewers… They were two very powerful giants.

After a period of observation, Pei Qian was certain that the Bunny Tail Live-Stream was safe.

That way, he could burn money for Bunny Tail live-stream without worrying about accidentally injuring friendly merchants and suddenly making profits.

Of course, he had to think about where to start so that he could spend the money without damaging the balance.

At that thought, Pei Qian felt a little regretful that Chen Yufeng was not around.

If Chen Yufeng was around, he should be able to help get rid of the wrong answer. In any case, the direction that Chen Yufeng wanted to develop would definitely be wrong.

However, it was a holiday after all. It was not appropriate to disturb him over the phone.

However, he could also ask his brother Ma Yang. After all, they had worked together for so long. Ma Yang was someone who was easily hoodwinked. He must have heard Chen Yufeng’s suggestions and ideas.

After some consideration, Pei Qian said, “Old Ma, if we have a huge sum of money now for Bunny Tail Live-Stream, where do you think Chen Yufeng will spend this money? Where do you plan to spend this money?”

When Ma Yang heard that, he temporarily stopped chewing on his chin. After taking a sip of his drink, he said, “Chen Yufeng will definitely use money to poach more scholars to teach. He might even start a ‘Bunny Tail Public Lecture’ or something. He keeps talking to me about this, saying that… he’ll be able to show his advantage and turn Bunny Tail Live-Stream into a real knowledge platform.”

Pei Qian nodded. This was indeed something that Chen Yufeng would do.

Now, Bunny Tail Live-Stream only had two general directions. It was very difficult to come up with anything new from the competition live-stream. Thus, they could only continue to fill up knowledge-related content and differentiate competition.

That was good. He could eliminate this wrong answer.

Since knowledge-related content was the strength of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, he should give up on this strength and use the weakness to challenge large live-stream platforms.

That way, the chances of failure would be higher.

Pei Qian nodded. “It’s still the same. What do you think?”

Ma Yang was obviously excited when he heard this. “I don’t think we should be afraid. We have to fight it out with big platforms like Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream! Why don’t we burn money to poach their streamers?!”

Pei Qian was silent for a moment. “Hmm… your idea is right, but we have to discuss the specific approach.”

Logically speaking, this method could burn money. After all, the contract for Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not trap the streamers. It was very easy for other platforms to poach the streamers for Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but it was more difficult for Bunny Tail Live-Stream to poach other platforms’ streamers.

He had tried to poach them at a high price, but he had been easily poached back. This time, he had indeed spent money like water.

However, the key problem was that the penalty was not easy.

Some platforms’ liquidated damages for the streamers were very unreasonable. They were basically sky-high prices. Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not be able to fork out this money.

First, he could negotiate if it was some other example. However, the system would definitely not agree if he were to widely poach live-streamers and pay damages. Second, Pei Qian did not want to give money to these live-stream platforms for free because he did not have a good impression of them.

Wouldn’t it be good to give benefits to his own platform’s audience with this money?

What’s more, poaching a popular live-streamer could have a wide and far-reaching impact. If the commotion was too big, it could easily bring about a lot of popularity. It would not be in the direction of Pei Qian’s “silently burning money”.

Pei Qian sipped his drink and said, “There’s no point in forcefully poaching live streamers from other platforms. In my opinion, instead of poaching live streamers, we should poach live streamers.”

“Go online and look for people who have hopes of becoming streamers. Or perhaps, new streamers who are currently just playing around and have not signed long-term contracts with other platforms would be attracted to our platform bit by bit.”

“On top of that, this sum of money can also be used to publicize and develop new functions for the website.”

As the saying went, eggs could not be placed in the same basket.

This sum of money would be split into three parts. One would be used to nurture live streamers, the other would be used for publicity, and the other would be used for developing platforms.

On the other hand, the so-called ‘nurturing streamers’ only looked beautiful, but the results would definitely be minimal.

That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not sign contracts that bound people to them. The streamers would come and go freely. The streamers that they cultivated would most likely be poached by other platforms.

After nurturing it for half a day, it would probably cultivate loneliness.

Ma Yang nodded, expressing his agreement. “Yes, Brother Qian, you’ve thought it through.”

“However… What is the specific function of the development platform you mentioned?”

Pei Qian sniggered. How the f*ck would I know!

I’m just saying. I would have told you if I had any specific ideas, right?

“Think about this yourself,” Pei Qian said. “The only requirement is that it should not be associated with the current academic content.”

He was not particularly worried that Ma Yang would come up with any particularly explosive ideas. After all, the function of the platform was to serve the main streamers at the end of the day. What was the point of the new function if there were not many outstanding streamers to begin with?

There should not be any major problems as long as it was not related to the current academic content.

Ma Yang’s long face was filled with confusion. Obviously, he had no clue at the moment.

“Brother Qian, I really can’t think of anything… Why don’t you arrange for a helper for me? I think Chen Yufeng is too stupid sometimes. He comes up with bad ideas. I need more opinions.”

Pei Qian was drinking his fruit juice and nearly spat it out.

Good lord, Old Ma, you’re actually despising Chen Yufeng?

Alright, as expected of you.

However, on further thought, Old Ma’s suggestion was indeed worth considering.

Everyone knew that Old Ma’s thinking was more easily influenced by others. Basically, anyone could fool him.

Previously, when Old Ma was in charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, he had almost made wrong decisions that would make the platform earn money because of Chen Yufeng’s bluff.

There was only one voice in Old Ma’s ear. It was ultimately a very dangerous thing.

What’s more, Pei Qian happened to have someone on hand who was in urgent need of ‘deportation’…

At that thought, he had an idea.

“What you said makes sense. How about this? I’ll transfer another person over to help you.”

“Hu Xianbin from the games department, what do you think?”

Ma Yang immediately smiled when he heard that. “Really? That’s great!”

“This Hu Xianbin’s wisdom might not be a ten-thousandth of yours, Brother Qian, but he’s a talent worth nurturing in the person-in-charge! However… isn’t he the chief designer of the games department? transferring him to live-streaming is considered a demotion, right?”

Pei Qian waved his hand. “Sigh, what promotion? Tengda doesn’t care about this. We just have different positions.”

“Every employee should be mentally prepared to be transferred to another position at any time!”

“What’s more, his various benefits and benefits would improve compared to before.”

“He’s only here to help for a period of time. We can take our time to think about how to arrange the work in the future. It’s not like we can lock him up with Bunny Tail Live-Stream forever.”

In fact, Pei Qian was a little worried. Hu Xianbin was the chief designer of Tengda after all. He was considered one of the best in the person-in-charge. Would Bunny Tail Live-Stream become popular if he were to do it?

However, seeing that there was only one month left, Hu Xianbin was going to release the tiger. In order for Yu Fei to continue being the chief designer, he had to find a partner for Hu Xianbin as soon as possible.

No matter how he thought about it, going to other places had the same risk. What’s more, there were no good spots. Thus, he could only arrange for Bunny Tail live-stream.

On one hand, three people were in charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Ma Yang, Chen Yufeng, and Hu Xianbin could restrict each other. Ma Yang was sandwiched in the middle and was constantly brainwashed by the two of them. It might cause Bunny Tail Live-Stream to fall into a state of wavering. On the other hand, Pei Qian realized that something was amiss. He could also find a new home for Hu Xianbin and transfer him away in time.

All in all, under the current circumstances, this was a relatively reasonable arrangement.

Since Yu Fei had already taken over and the effect was not bad, he could not let Hu Xianbin return to Tengda Games!
