85: Tang Ke exclaimed, "Wow!"

The crowd was in an uproar after hearing this. Starlight was somewhat famous in the live streaming industry, and they all thought that even if the company wasn't making money, it wouldn't be losing any. Who would have thought they were losing sixty million a month!

Lin Shuyi had also just found out about this. She clenched her small fists. Because of the Starlight Streamer Support Program, all the money from tips and gifts in the first month went to the Streamers.

In these two weeks, she could be said to have made a fortune, earning more in a week than she had in the previous year. But she hadn't expected that someone else was carrying the burden for her.

Shen Qingning and Shen Jincheng, on the other hand, had known about this for a long time and weren't surprised at all.

This was why Old Sun and the investment companies were so surprised when he said he wouldn't accept investment during the banquet.

This was why Deep Sea and Competitive Creation didn't dare to compete directly and instead used small companies to test the waters.

A competition costing sixty million a month—who would dare to take that on?

Jiang Chuan didn't take this loss to heart. In his view, time was more important than money. Since he could burn money to quickly gain traffic in the early stages, why bother accumulating it step by step?

Moreover, it was only in the first month that they would lose so much. By next month, there wouldn't be so many new Streamers joining.

This was the most important and critical year. Deep Sea only had fifty thousand active users at the beginning of the year, and now it had surged to a million!

He clearly remembered a statistic from his past life: Deep Sea's active users would reach ten million next year!

The era of traffic was coming. He didn't need Xinghui Live Streaming to be profitable; he just needed to gather traffic. As long as he held the traffic, the countless ideas in his head could be realized.

Of course, there was one more important point: what is traffic? It's popularity! With traffic, is there any fear of lacking popularity? The system rewards ten billion in assets!

Jiang Chuan tapped the table, interrupting the crowd's discussion, and said with a smile, "Don't be so surprised. Even Deep Sea and Competitive Creation are definitely in a loss-making state right now."

Chu Jiaqi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Deep Sea's angel investment should be nearly exhausted. I speculate they'll be moving on to the next round of financing."

"As long as we persist through this month's Streamer Support Program, we can become profitable next month."

Only then did everyone feel relieved. The amount of loss was simply too appalling; no company could withstand such a deficit.

Seeing that everyone had stabilized, Jiang Chuan continued, "Director Chu and I are of the same mind. Deep Sea and Competitive Creation are about to raise funds, so they'll definitely make some big moves. We need to be prepared."

Shen Qingning picked up the proposal he had given her and said slowly:

"Just like dealing with Sunset, the most important thing is to snatch users. But instead of using an event-based model, we'll create a different kind of live streaming platform to attract them."

After saying that, she distributed the proposal to the executives present.

The executives picked up the proposal and read it seriously. The more they read, the stranger their expressions became. They recognized the words, but when put together, they couldn't understand them at all.

Jiang Chuan didn't need them to understand; they just needed to push forward according to the plan. He looked at the kid and said:

"Tang Ke, your task will be the heaviest next. If you don't have enough manpower, hire at any time. You don't need anyone's approval!"

"Understood!"

Tang Ke looked at the plan for the Technical Department, her small face twisting into a mask of pain. This was no small project.

The meeting lasted for a full two hours, but the results were significant. The operations between departments became smoother, and the situation where employees didn't know what to do no longer occurred.

Jiang Chuan used the Talent Detection Book every day to check those he favored and finally chose these executives. Even the one with the lowest loyalty had three and a half stars, so there was no need to worry about betrayal.

All initial expenses were capped at sixty million. There would be no need for further funding for now; they could just wait for profit.

The Technical Department had taken on a heavyweight project. Out of the two-hour meeting, one hour was spent discussing this project, showing how much importance he placed on it!

Everyone left the conference room and clocked out, leaving only two people behind to continue the discussion.

It wasn't until 6:30 PM that the two walked out of the conference room and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Tang Ke ate like a little hamster and said indistinctly, "Dog Boss, I want to buy the latest graphics card. Can you get me a new computer?"

Jiang Chuan rolled his eyes, swallowed his food, and then said, "Sure, no problem. Give me an IOU, and I'll buy it for you."

Tang Ke: ????

You're lending me money to buy a computer for work? Is that even human? Does a donkey have to bring its own millstone to grind the grain?

She realized that whenever she was alone with the Dog Boss, she absolutely shouldn't talk about anything other than work, or she'd definitely be driven to death by anger!

Tang Ke pouted and viciously stabbed at the vegetable salad in her bowl, venting all her resentment on the vegetables.

Jiang Chuan ate his dinner in large gulps, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked at the kid eating salad with great satisfaction:

"In the future, talk to them more about the benefits of eating vegetables. Eating meat every day makes you liable to get sick. I'm leaving first. Eat slowly, and help me wash my bowl!"

Tang Ke looked at the salad in her bowl and then at the meat across from her, her heart full of complaints. "Lenient with yourself and strict with others, huh? Truly, names can be wrong, but nicknames never are..."

Jiang Chuan left the company and drove to the hospital. Zhang Linlin was recovering very well. Her concussion symptoms weren't serious, just some dizziness. She would probably be discharged in a while.

Once she didn't need anyone to look after her, he would have to consider the business trip. Uncle Shen had many resources and channels there. Although the man was trustworthy, the matter was of great importance, so it was better to go and see for himself.

He suddenly missed his little secretary. If she were here, he wouldn't have to deal with these trivial matters. Unfortunately, she was probably still abroad.

Jiang Chuan didn't hate her. If it weren't for her, there would be no Starlight, and he would still be that poor kid, never seeing the scenery from the mountain top in his life.

He arrived at the hospital ward and noticed through the glass that the two women were looking at something, their faces flushed, and they even screamed twice from time to time.

The sound of the door opening startled them. Like two frightened fawns, they quickly hid their phones under the quilt, pretending they hadn't been doing anything.

Jiang Chuan thought they were secretly watching adult movies. He slumped onto the sofa and coughed twice. "Watch less of that stuff; it's bad for your health."

Zhang Linlin was about to explain when her best friend stopped her, looking at her with some confusion.

Feng Qiqi smiled broadly and said, "Do you want to watch with us? It's the latest release~ there are even feet~ you just have to give us both a kiss and I'll let you see!"

After saying that, she lifted a corner of the air-conditioning quilt on the hospital bed and stroked her sister's smooth, fair little foot.

Zhang Linlin bit her lip, enduring the ticklish sensation. She felt she was still too green and that there was still a huge gap between her and her sister; she needed to study harder!
