Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 911: Tricked by Pei Qian!

Meng Chang was stunned. He thought that the way he opened the Bunny Tail Live-Stream was wrong.

What the hell was happening?

Shouldn’t the homepage be filled with a young lady in an open-necked outfit and hot pants dancing to thank everyone for their gift if he took reference from other live-stream home pages? Or at the very least, there should be a popular gaming live-streamer playing intensely, right?

In the end, an old professor was giving a lecture on the front page of Bunny Tail Live-Stream?

What the f*ck…?

Meng Chang fell into a daze for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on.

He looked at the bullet screen comments in Professor Kong Zhemin’s live-stream.

“He’s actually teaching?”

“This is a real big boss!”

“Professor, you’re so good at explaining things. Even a flunkie like me can understand you.”

“Don’t send any random bullet screen comments. Listen carefully!”

“So Bunny Tail Live-stream is not just a live-stream platform, but also a learning platform?”

“I love it, I love it. As expected, the publicity for Bunny Tail Live-Stream came prepared. I was wondering why it attacked the entire live-stream industry!”

“Bunny Tail Live-Stream is completely different from the other sluts!”

Meng Chang’s heart suddenly dropped as he read the comments. He had a bad feeling.

This is bad!

He had been tricked by Boss Pei!

Meng Chang was a smart person. He immediately understood what was going on after seeing the contents of the live-stream and connecting the feedback of the audience and the direction of the promotional video.

At the moment, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was in the testing phase and had just been released. There was not much publicity, so there were not many people. Pei Qian bought more than enough bandwidth in order to spend more money. Thus, the view was very smooth without any signs of being stuck.

Bunny Tail live-stream was not fake, so the popularity of each live-stream looked very poor. There were only a few thousand people in Professor Kong Zhemin’s live-stream on the home page. The other live-streams had even fewer people. Some had only a single digit audience, while some had zero viewers.

However, at the same time, the atmosphere in the live-stream was very good.

The live-streams on the other live-stream platforms had a lot of bullet screen comments. They filled the entire screen. However, if one looked closely, they would realize that some of these bullet screen comments were fishing, some were arguing, some were replying automatically, and some were leading the battle…

The environment was foul.

However, the bullet screen environment in Bunny Tail Live-Stream was very good. That was because those who stayed behind were all interested in the content of Professor Kong Zhemin’s speech. Most people would not have the thought of fishing or playing games when faced with such a respectable old professor. The bullet screen environment was naturally much better.

In other words, even though Bunny Tail live-stream had its unique advantage even though it was released in a hurry without many popular live-streamers and with bleak figures. The advantage was the content of the live-stream and the good bullet screen environment!

That way, the contents of the promotional video would be completely understandable.

On the surface, the promotional video for Bunny Tail Live-Stream showed that the entire live-stream industry had been AOE-ed. It secretly mocked that watching live-streams would waste time and one would not be able to learn anything. In the end, one would end up with nothing.

However, the deeper purpose of this promotional video was to highlight the difference between Bunny Tail Live-Stream and other live-stream platforms!

Watching live-streams on other live-stream platforms for a long time would indeed waste time and one would not be able to learn anything. That was because most of the content of live-streams were games and babes. To put it bluntly, it was purely for entertainment. Moderate viewing could relax one’s body and mind, but one would definitely waste time if they were too engrossed in it.

However, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was different. It had very rich content.

Of course, the intensity of these courses would definitely not be comparable to proper studies in higher learning institutes. Most young lecturers and professors would choose the simplest knowledge to explain for ordinary people to understand. It would not be difficult to understand and naturally would not be particularly profound.

However, no matter how shallow the content was, it was still better than pure entertainment.

The audience could at least expand their knowledge after watching these were very basic content. It was beneficial.

Another important point was that everyone actually had a thirst for knowledge.

The reason why most people hated learning was mainly because learning in school was often accompanied by hard examination requirements. They often placed too much emphasis on the efficiency of learning and chose the most efficient but boring teaching method.

On the other hand, Professor Kong Zhemin’s speech on Bunny Tail Live-Stream was more similar to Zhuzi Lecture or public lectures. The content was not that profound and obscure. He also paid great attention to the methodology of the lecture so that it would not arouse the disgust of the audience.

The popularity of many knowledge-based UP Masters on the Zhuzi Lecture and Aili Island website was enough to prove that ordinary people had a natural desire for knowledge.

What’s more, teaching on a live-stream platform was already special enough. Some people would listen to it for a while out of curiosity and novelty even if they did not understand it.

Therefore the current situation.

Meng Chang was a smart person and quickly realized what was happening.

He was in a very bad situation!

The popularity of Bunny Tail’s live-stream was not high based on the current statistics of the live-stream, but one could not look at pure statistics at a time like this!

The most successful thing on the first day of Bunny Tail live-stream was to leave an unique and special impression on everyone.

Through the promotional video and the content of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, it has successfully tied itself to the concept of ‘Knowledge Live-Streaming Platform’. Many people subconsciously thought of various classes when they heard ‘Bunny Tail Live-Stream’.

That way, they would be able to distinguish themselves from the other live-stream platforms. Their positionings were completely different!

Therefore, it would not be a problem even if Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not very popular, had pitiful data statistics and did not have enough content.

That was because it was already on a different track from other live-stream platforms. Naturally, there was no need to use the standards of other live-stream platforms to judge it!

“It’s over, I’ve been tricked!”

“I’ve been tricked by Pei!”

Meng Chang was still hoping that this promotional video would give him a high commission. There was no chance of that happening from the looks of it!

This promotional video was too compatible with the content of Bunny Tail live-stream. On the surface, it was saying ‘everyone should not watch live-streams, don’t waste time watching live-streams’, but in fact, it was hinting ‘if everyone wants to watch live-streams, come to Bunny Tail live-stream. You can also gain some knowledge’!

Of course, this was definitely not Meng Chang’s intention.

However, everyone would understand it that way judging from the current situation of Bunny Tail Live-stream. It was not his original intention but it didn’t matter. His original intention had been completely distorted and misunderstood!

As for why this happened…

Was there a need to analyse?

Who else would have so much power apart from Boss Pei?

Meng Chang recalled the scene when he took this promotional video to Boss Pei. Boss Pei had agreed to it without any hesitation. He even accepted the promotional video without any suggestions.

At that time, Boss Pei seemed to be smiling.

Meng Chang did not know what that smile meant at first, but from the looks of it, Boss Pei’s smile was obviously mocking him.

It was a smile that had everything planned out!

Meng Chang realized that Boss Pei had obviously seen through his little scheme. What shocked Meng Chang the most was how Boss Pei guessed his thoughts.

There were only two possibilities for such a situation to occur.

The first was that Boss Pei had already planned to turn Bunny Tail Live-Stream into an intellectual live-stream platform. He had predicted that Meng Chang would advertise this way. Everything was within Boss Pei’s expectations.

The second was that Boss Pei did not have a very clear plan for the content of Bunny Tail’s live-stream previously. He only saw Meng Chang’s promotional video and counter-attacked. At the last minute, he decided to turn Bunny Tail’s live-stream into an intellectual live-stream platform.

Both possibilities were very terrifying to Meng Chang!

Didn’t this mean that he was really like Monkey Sun, thinking that he had run far enough but still could not escape from the palms of Buddha?

What was even more terrifying was that Meng Chang felt that the second possibility was very slim.

That was because live-streaming was obviously one of Tengda’s core businesses. It could be linked to games, GPL, and other businesses under Tengda. According to Boss Pei’s strategic character, Bunny Tail Live-stream was definitely a project that was highly valued and prepared for a long time.

How could such a project rely on improvisation to change its original direction and create an intellectual live-stream platform?

It was too childish and did not conform to Boss Pei’s usual strategies.

Meng Chang felt that Boss Pei should not be so bored. He specially changed the entire business model and development direction of such a core live-stream business just so that he did not need to give himself a high commission.

Therefore, the first possibility would be higher!

Boss Pei had already thought of making Bunny Tail Live-Stream a unique knowledge-stream platform from the beginning. He also calculated that Meng Chang would create a “special” promotional video under the interest of the high commission.

In other words, everything was likely going according to Boss Pei’s plan!

Meng Chang shuddered.

Losing this month’s commission was a small matter, it was just tens of thousands of yuan. What about the future commissions?

Wouldn’t he have to spend the rest of his life earning that pathetic base salary if Boss Pei had predicted every publicity plan of his and every response had the best publicity effect?

Would he really work for free under Boss Pei for ten years?

Meng Chang felt that he could not continue thinking about it. If he did, he might break down on the spot.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, calming himself down.

“Calm down. Things are far from irreversible. Boss Pei has so much work to do. How can he focus all his energy on me? Even if he can plot against me once, can he plot against me every time?”

“There’s still time. This is just a small setback.”

“I’ll succeed one day as long as I slowly figure out Tengda’s situation. It’s just reverse publicity. Is that really very difficult? I’m playing the simple mode. Boss Pei is playing the hell mode. I can’t keep losing to him, right?”

Meng Chang quickly convinced himself and calmed down.

He had been frightened by Boss Pei’s strategies previously. Now that he had calmed down and thought about it carefully, he could not expect this to happen every time he did publicity, right?

Meng Chang decided not to think about Bunny Tail live-stream anymore and focused on working on the E-Sports promotional video.

It was a bad start and he might not get a single cent in commission but there would still be room for redemption as long as the E-Sports promotional video was done!
