Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1551 Tengda Must Rely On Real Skills!

Pei Qian was just about to hang up when he heard Qiao Liang ask, “Boss Pei, I have another question.”

“If our Bunny Tail Live-Stream wants to fight back, can we take some necessary measures?”

“For example… prohibiting these two platforms from live-streaming our game, including GOG, IOI, and Ocean Stronghold?”

“Of course, I know that this will be a decision where both sides will suffer together, but no matter how I think about it, they will suffer more.”

“If they really push us, can we use this as our last resort?”

“Or we can use this point to deter them. Even if we don’t really reach this step, we can achieve a certain effect.”

It could be heard that Qiao Liang was very angry with Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream who had been secretly poaching Bunny Tail Live-Stream.

Why should you?

These two platforms could poach the live-streamers of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but Bunny Tail Live-Stream could not poach these two platforms because the contracts between these two platforms and the live-streamers had a high penalty. Bunny Tail Live-Stream could not possibly help the live-streamers pay the high penalty.

On the other hand, Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream were very happy because there was no penalty. They especially liked to poach new streamers who had just made a name for themselves.

That was obviously unreasonable.

In fact, was the treatment of Bunny Tail Live-Stream much worse than these two platforms? No.

However, poaching people was not a practical treatment. Most of the time, it was through bluffing

Those who poached people would always have the initiative.

The treatment that Bunny Tail Live-Stream gave the streamers was real. However, Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream could poach people targetedly. There would also be many tricks.

For example, he would give you a high number at the beginning, but at the same time, he would set a high penalty. If you wanted to get this number, you had to meet a certain popularity and gift requirements. Otherwise, you would deduct money.

When poaching the streamers, they saw a rather tempting number. However, it was hard to say if they would be able to obtain it in the end.

If he could continue to become popular after jumping over, or even more popular, he would naturally have a greater say in continuing the contract.

However, what if the popularity decreased and turned cold after he jumped over? Then, there would probably be various terms in the contract that he did not notice previously and retract the platform’s charity to the host.

The host regretted it and wanted to leave. However, he could not leave with the huge penalty.

Could the streamers really not tell that there was a problem with the contract? They earned so much money and the contract was so huge. Shouldn’t they spend money to find a professional to take a look?

It could not be said that there was none at all. However, most of the streamers’ cultural standards were not high, and their legal consciousness was not that strong. How could everyone be so smart and not be fooled at all? Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream must have been exaggerating when they came to poach Bunny Tail Live-Streamer. The new streamers that they poached might not have seen much of the world and would be hoodwinked into it by accident.

What’s more, the live-stream industry was still a newly established industry. The lawsuits with sky-high prices for breach of contract had not been released yet. The streamers were still very silly and naively thinking that the big bosses behind the live-stream platform were all silly and rich spendthrifts. Or perhaps they were good samaritans who kept their word and carried out good deeds without any tricks. It was very reasonable that they did not have this consciousness.

Qiao Liang was now the person-in-charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. At the same time, he was also the UP Master and live-streamer.

As a live-streamer, he could not stand Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream.

Wasn’t this bullying honest people?

It was the best for Bunny Tail Live-Stream to not sign a high penalty and tie the live-streamer to death. However, that would become a reason for the other party to poach people without any restraint.

Therefore, Qiao Liang was very unhappy and thought of such a countermeasure.

You can poach the streamers from Bunny Tail Live-Stream and cause trouble here first. Don’t broadcast any of Tengda’s games in the future! I want to see what else you can broadcast without games like GOG, IOI, and Ocean Stronghold!

Legally, Tengda had full power.

That was because Tengda had the right to enjoy the game design. Whoever it allowed to live-stream would be allowed to live-stream. If Tengda did not authorize it to these two platforms, they could not broadcast it. Otherwise, they would be sued.

Of course, logically speaking, if Tengda really did that, it might not be very profitable. That was because Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream were already in absolute dominance in the live-stream industry. If they really completely fell out, Tengda Games’ own popularity would also greatly decrease.

However, no matter what, Tengda was definitely not the one losing the most.

What’s more, it did not have to be completely banned. This could be a form of deterrent. There was no need to really use it.

As long as he issued a warning to these two platforms and said that he would not rule out the possibility of them banning games such as GOG, these two platforms would have to restrain themselves.

They would seriously consider whether the little benefits that the anti-Tengda Alliance gave them, the picture they painted would be able to make them suffer the losses of completely breaking off with Tengda.

That was enough.

As the person-in-charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, Qiao Liang felt that he had to think deeply about these problems and report to Boss Pei.

Pei Qian was silent.

If he really did that, there would be a huge problem!

The competition in the live-stream industry would probably continue for a long time. Pei Qian wanted to use this opportunity to continue burning money happily. Wouldn’t it speed up the competition according to Qiao Liang? Obviously, the earlier both sides broke off, the more likely Bunny Tail’s live-stream would take off. That was because the live-stream industry still depended on content. Games was one of the most important content.

If he wanted to break up, he had to break up after this cycle ended, right?

It was not a big deal to poach a few streamers from Bunny Tail Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream now. Everyone did not lose out. The streamers received high salaries, Bunny Tail Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream spent money but poached people. The popularity of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was dealt a blow. Boss Pei felt more at ease burning money.

Wasn’t it good?

Thus, Pei Qian decided to appease them.

The anti-Tengda Alliance had already lost so badly previously. If he did not give them some benefits, the entire alliance would probably collapse immediately.

He had to hold them back so that they could continue playing this money-burning game with him.

Of course, he could not say these to Qiao Liang. He had to change his words.

After some consideration, Pei Qian said, “I think that’s not appropriate.”

“According to the law, we enjoy the copyrights of all Tengda Games and can completely prohibit live-streaming on these live-stream platforms. However… this is a little lacking in morals. It makes us look like we cannot compete with others in the front and can only use methods outside the rules.”

“Others would definitely point at our noses and say,” Look, look. Tengda is getting anxious. “

“That doesn’t fit our mission.

“Tengda is particular about fair competition. We can win the other party with our own skills. We cannot turn the tables if we cannot win within the rules. That would be very ungentlemanly.”

“I’ll say it again. You have to rely on yourself to forge. The other party poached our streamer. Perhaps we did not treat the streamer well enough. Let’s raise it up.”

“If you think that Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream are not as good as us in any aspect, why would the live-streamer still be poached? We must not have done enough.”

“Therefore, not only can we not use this to threaten the other party, we have to make it clear: Tengda will never use such a method!”

“The earlier you explain this, the better.”

“If they like to poach people, they can poach them. When they can’t even poach them, that would be the day Bunny Tail Live-Stream dominates the live-stream circle!”

Qiao Liang was stunned. “Make it clear honestly. We don’t have to do this?”

“This… there’s no need for that, right? Aren’t we going to keep the final deterrent?”

Boss Pei’s method was not only to not use the method of banning games as a deterrent, but he also had to take the initiative to give up this method and promise not to use it!

Wasn’t this encouraging the two platforms to continue poaching people and poach more ruthlessly?

In Qiao Liang’s opinion, Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not have any stronger trump card other than Tengda Games.

Of course, it was not a problem to increase the benefits of the host, but…

Firstly, live-streaming platforms were still a money-burning game. Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream had huge capital standing behind them. They were not afraid of burning money. They would not be muddle-headed when poaching people. On the other hand, Boss Pei might have given subsidies to Bunny Tail Live-Stream through Tengda’s headquarters, but he was still restrained. He had less funds than two platforms.

Secondly, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was a passive defense, and the two platforms were taking the initiative to attack. How could it be the same? If Bunny Tail Live-Stream wanted to increase the benefits, it would have to increase the popularity of the entire platform’s streamers. Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream only had to give such a few streamers a high price.

It was just like how every time someone stabbed you, you would wear an additional layer of clothes.

How many layers did he have to pass to ensure that the next blow was harmless?

Qiao Liang would have cursed if these words had not come from Boss Pei.

However, since Boss Pei was the one who said it, he would try to figure it out and think if it was his problem.

Perhaps Boss Pei had a new perspective?

“Alright, Boss Pei. I understand.”

Qiao Liang hung up and thought seriously about what Boss Pei said before. It seemed to make sense, but it did not feel particularly reliable.

“Forget it, forget it. Let nature take its course.”

“Hu Xianbin has already told me to ask Boss Pei if I encounter any uncertainties. It doesn’t matter if I don’t get a satisfactory answer. Note down what Boss Pei said first. It might be useful in the future.”

“I should settle the racing competition this weekend first. As for Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream constantly poaching people, I have to think about it at length and take it slow.”

“We cannot rush such things. If we are too anxious, it might disrupt Boss Pei’s entire plan.”

“Hmm… let’s organize a competition first before deciding on a new benefit plan for Bunny Tail Live-Stream.”

Qiao Liang did not continue to get caught up in the details. Instead, he continued to follow Boss Pei’s instructions.
