98: Three major live streaming companies
Wang Jing finished reading all the published news and completely understood what had happened. She wanted to tell the others what the boss had said.
Seeing everyone's fierce condemnation of the two companies, she didn't dare to interrupt and had to wait for them to finish speaking.
Shen Qingning naturally didn't join in. Seeing that Wang Jing wanted to say something, she clapped her hands and said, "Alright, now is not the time for idle chatter. Director Wang, do you have something to say?"
Wang Jing nodded. Seeing everyone looking at her quietly, she took out a small notebook and said:
"Before Mr. Jiang left, he gave me a task regarding the handling of the two companies' misappropriation of Starlight's activities."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Let me see what he said!"
Shen Jincheng was the first to lose his patience. He stood up, wanting to see what was written in the notebook, but was kicked by his Older Sister and sat back down honestly, not saying another word.
"Director Wang, please continue."
Shen Qingning suppressed her brother. She also wanted to know how this matter would be handled. After all, the people in the company had been wronged, and it wouldn't be right to turn a blind eye.
She had also been thinking about a good way to solve this problem perfectly, but it was indeed too difficult, and she had no ideas at all.
But just because she had no way didn't mean Jiang Chuan didn't. She had great faith in his abilities and looked at Director Wang expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Wang Jing had read this notebook long ago. At the time, she felt it would basically never be needed, but who knew things would actually develop to this point.
"Mr. Jiang said, they borrowed from us, so we'll borrow from them."
"What does that mean?"
Shen Jincheng asked in confusion, listening to the words that sounded like a tongue twister.
After hearing this, Shen Qingning fell into deep thought, wondering what Starlight could borrow from the other party and what those two companies had now.
The most direct thing was money. Currently, the popularity of the news about the two major companies' twenty-million-dollar financing was still soaring on Weibo, but there was no way the other party would lend money to Starlight.
Besides money, they had poached many Streamers. Poaching Streamers was for popularity. Right! That's it!
Shen Qingning completely understood. If someone takes something from you, you don't necessarily have to snatch it back; you can also go to their place and take something directly.
Wang Jing also spoke up at this moment, and the two said in unison:
"Popularity!"
Hangzhou City
"Knock knock knock!"
After Pan Renxing finished knocking, he hid behind the Third Brother. Having run away from home for so long, who knew what his old man would be like when he saw him.
It was better to be safe. After all, one doesn't hit children when guests are over; that's the rule.
As it turned out, he was overthinking. The person who opened the door was a very kind woman who looked to be in her fifties. Seeing so many people outside, she wasn't surprised and said with a smile:
"Is this Little Chuan? Haven't seen you in so many years, I almost didn't recognize you. Is this your girlfriend? Come on in."
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Feng Qiqi, you can just call me Qiqi."
When Pan Renxing saw that his mother was the one who opened the door, he felt like he was back in the game!
Without waiting for the Third Brother to speak, he squeezed in first, intending to make introductions. But as soon as he looked up and saw his father standing in the entryway, the words at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down, and he silently retreated.
Jiang Chuan was speechless. What was he doing, squeezing in and out? After standing firm, he handed the gift to the auntie and said with a smile:
"You have a great memory. I originally wanted to come yesterday, but it was too late, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"No disturbance at all. Old Pan! What are you standing there for? Come and take this!"
Pan Dagang was actually prepared to welcome them, since he was technically his son's boss. Who knew that just as he was about to head over, he'd see his son squeeze in.
He was also the type who didn't like to express himself in the father-son relationship, so it was somewhat awkward. Little did he know there would be something even more awkward: his son turned around and left without hesitation.
Hearing his wife's words, he then slowly went to meet them, saying with a smile, "Welcome to Hangzhou City, Little Chuan. If you need anything, just tell your Uncle. Don't be a stranger!"
Feng Qiqi couldn't even smile when she saw his appearance. It wasn't that he was ugly, but he looked very fierce—the kind that could definitely stop a three-year-old from crying.
He looked very strong, had a bald head, and a scar on his face. When he smiled, it even trembled slightly. If he wore a big gold chain, people on the street would probably recognize him as a mob boss.
Jiang Chuan had seen him long ago and was somewhat used to it, even feeling a bit of familiarity. He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Uncle Pan, I definitely won't be a stranger."
The family of four walked warmly to the sofa and sat down. Pan's mother brought some fruit and drinks to the coffee table, then went to prepare lunch with the nanny.
Jiang Chuan sat down with Little Green Tea and saw some documents on the coffee table. They were precisely the announcements just released by Deep Sea and Competitive Creation.
Seeing that the other party had noticed them, Pan Dagang didn't put them away. Leaning back on the sofa with an intention to test him, he said:
"This is only the first round of financing. There will be a next time, and even the time after that. The funds raised will only increase. Starlight's situation isn't looking good."
Jiang Chuan knew the man's personality and stopped being low-key. Eating from the fruit platter, he said, "Does Uncle Pan know how much capital I used to destroy Sunset? With them promoting so hard, maybe in the end, they're just making the wedding dress for me."
"What an arrogant kid!"
Hearing the other party's bold words, Pan Dagang had only this one thought. He shook his head and said:
"Even so, how are you going to monetize? Both Deep Sea and Competitive Creation use the web game advertising method. In my view, without financing, Starlight will continue to lose money if it relies on that method to monetize."
Jiang Chuan didn't intend to hide anything from him. The man had put his son in his hands, so he definitely wanted to know if he was reliable, which was completely understandable.
"Qiqi, tell Uncle Pan about our plan."
"Ah? Oh!"
Feng Qiqi hurriedly sat up straight, her small face serious as she introduced Starlight's next moves and future development map.
Pan Dagang listened carefully, sometimes thinking, sometimes looking thoughtful. Using this method to monetize was something he had never considered.
He didn't know if it would succeed, but the plan was indeed very comprehensive. That was enough.
Jiang Chuan had been waiting for news. Finally, there was some movement from Wang Jing's side. Looking at the announcement posted on Starlight's official Weibo, he nodded in satisfaction.
He handed the phone to Uncle Pan, who was still deep in thought, and said with a smile, "Look, the wedding dress has arrived!"
Pan Dagang took the phone in confusion. Finding that he couldn't see clearly, he took out his reading glasses and put them on, then carefully read the small characters on the screen.
【Thanks to Deep Sea and Competitive Creation for reaching a cooperation with us. Starlight has created an activity page for both companies. Everyone can provide feedback here.
Our three major streaming companies will continue to bring you more exciting programs and more generous activities. Welcome everyone to join Starlight!】
"Starlight has actually become the third largest streaming company?"
"Just a passerby, but looking at the asset chart posted earlier, it really is possible!"
"I've only heard of Deep Sea and Competitive Creation before, and I'm already tired of them. Let's check out a new one!"
"Brothers! There's also a lucky draw event. I won thirty thousand yuan!"
"For real? Then I'll download it too!"
Dong Changhai was sitting in the Jiangcheng Airport lobby waiting for his flight, prepared to head to Falling City. But when he saw the announcement posted by Starlight, he suddenly didn't want to go anymore. Even the head office got hammered just for trying to ride the coattails.
Let alone him...
