Chapter 580: Preparing to Make a Move

Finally, he had encountered a somewhat decent opponent.

Facing an offensive as fierce as a storm, everyone in the Zheng Qian interest group, or rather, the Qianlu Group, felt immense pressure.

Ever since Zheng Qian debuted, everything had seemed to go smoothly.

Whether it was the initial business war centered around Zhengxin Shipyard, or the integration of red wine sales channels, and so on...

He had never encountered any significant sniping.

Today, however, things were different.

Many people around him felt as if no one had ever been wealthier than Zheng Qian, and whatever he did was like sweeping away withered leaves, conquering the world as easily as reaching into a pocket to retrieve an object.

But now, the energy that the current opponent could mobilize felt like it could rival his own.

Listening to the reports being presented, there was not much emotional fluctuation on Zheng Qian's face.

In fact, he even felt like laughing.

This made the other employees in the conference room feel a bit creeped out, wondering, "Could our President Zheng have developed some mental issues?"

"All our businesses are currently facing fatal blows; how can he still laugh?"

From their perspective, it was a total industry-wide blockade!

"You are making such a big fuss just because of this?"

Zheng Qian looked around; almost all the women by his side were present.

Jin Lu, Wei Rusi, Cui Ziqing, Su Yuanshuang, and even Xia Xixi and Jiang Yanran were all sitting there.

Along with other assistants and staff, the conference room was packed.

Everyone had a different expression.

But most were worried.

Only Jin Lu and Wei Rusi, who were both sitting on Zheng Qian's right side, were exceptions.

Perhaps it was because they understood Zheng Qian the best; knowing he wasn't panicked meant he certainly had a solution in mind.

Jiang Yanran's expression was quite intriguing; she furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Jin Lu thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, the employees and senior executives present shared a surprisingly unified thought.

That was... there were too many beauties; everywhere they looked, it was all legs!

Most of them had lived in the international metropolis of Shanghu for many years. The number of beauties here, if not the highest in the country, was certainly in the top three.

But! These were the kind of beauties one would only occasionally see one of on the street!

Yet today, they were all sitting here, and the atmosphere was very subtle, as if... with so many legs, did they all have a thing with President Zheng?

Xu Huateng, who was sitting further out, was automatically ignored by everyone, as they assumed he was just another senior executive of The Group like them.

It was just that his attire was a bit casual; he wore a plaid shirt that looked exactly like a programmer's, and just jeans below.

"Xixi, how are things at Stardust? Did you sign the streamer you were following up on?"

Zheng Qian cast his gaze upon Xia Xixi.

Hmm, it had been a few days, and his top secretary was looking more and more beautiful.

Perhaps because he had gradually entrusted her with some high-level business matters, she had naturally developed the aura of someone in a position of authority.

Wearing a very business-like dress, her pair of fair, long legs were extremely dazzling.

"The contract has been signed, and we have filmed a few mobile game advertisements with Director Hong Zhentao. His contract with the Douniu Live platform happened to expire, which saved a lot of trouble. Among them, the offer from the Shenglang Platform was the highest, and they are currently the top live streaming platform in the country. Because you said to sign him at any cost, so... I spent a bit more money."

Xia Xixi answered cleanly and efficiently, but towards the end, she felt slightly ashamed.

She had been transferred over by Zheng Qian some time ago and was now in charge of Stardust Live, which was the domestic subsidiary of Sunshine Beat, a company Zheng Qian had previously acquired in Oman.

Since Sunshine Beat had some suspected name overlap with the parent company of the domestic Shenglang Platform, he had originally wanted to call it Sunshine Entertainment, but later decided to just change it to Stardust Live.

It was affiliated with the Stardust Entertainment Fund established for Yin Yanyan.

Currently, the Stardust Entertainment Fund had two major groups under its umbrella: Stardust Pictures and Stardust Live.

Manager Nie Kai was the top manager of the Stardust Fund and also oversaw Stardust Pictures, while Xia Xixi was the CEO of Stardust Live.

There were currently four largest live streaming platforms in the country: the most powerful Shenglang Platform, Douniu Live and Maoya Live, which had originally planned to merge, and Dashou Short Video.

Stardust Live was just a newcomer that had only just obtained a series of qualifications.

As for the streamer Zheng Qian had just mentioned, he was very famous in the gaming field.

His name was "Yingyingmumu," and he mainly streamed a certain online game, but he had become world-famous because of Fight the Landlord and Kart Racing.

Initially, he was full of concerns about joining Stardust Live.

After all, it was an emerging live streaming platform, and the cake in this domestic field had long been divided up; he was very doubtful about whether it could actually succeed.

Most importantly, it hadn't even started pushing traffic yet, and the number of users was zero.

But, Zheng Qian gave way too much.

It was 10 times higher than the signing fee offered by the most deep-pocketed Shenglang Platform, not to mention a series of various rewards and incentive policies, which were even more cost-effective than live streaming e-commerce; after hesitating for a while, he finally agreed.

Even if no one tipped him in the future, his income would still be higher than all streamers on the entire network.

More importantly, the dream origin god was making rapid progress under the injection of Zheng Qian's massive capital.

Preparing to launch simultaneously with Stardust Live, they also signed an endorsement contract with Yingyingmumu and filmed a few advertisements.

"Hmm, that's good. Follow up with other streamers one after another, and don't neglect the negotiations with the Shenglang Platform. Currently, the domestic live streaming platforms seem to be a four-legged standoff, but in reality, the Shenglang Platform eats the meat, Douniu and Dashou drink the soup, and Maoya is struggling for survival in the cracks."

"If you want to grab a piece of this cake, you can't do it without using some methods."

Zheng Qian nodded slightly, speaking while flipping through the materials Xia Xixi had submitted.

However, everyone was still very confused; since the most troublesome things right now were shipping, Semiconductor Chip, and film matters, why did President Zheng want to develop the live streaming platform so vigorously?

Could it be that he hoped to use this to promote the film?

Even if they conducted live streaming promotions on the Shenglang Platform, which dominated short videos on mobile phones in Jiuzhou, the effect would likely be very limited.

Most importantly, those celebrities weren't coming; would the premiere only feature Yin Yanyan and Chu Tiange?

Or was it that it was going to be changed to an online live streaming format?

That effect would likely be even more dismal.

"President Zheng, we... um... regarding the film..." Xia Xixi hesitated for a moment, speaking with a stop-and-go tone.

Before Xia Xixi set off, Manager Nie Kai had repeatedly begged her, hoping she could mention the premiere to Zheng Qian.

After all, he was the person in charge, and if the results were not good when the time came, he was very afraid that Zheng Qian would fire him.

"Regarding the film, there is no need to worry for now."

"Don't worry about other businesses either. For these next few days, I am assigning everyone a task, which is to cooperate with me in going to the Shenglang Platform to give tips. Hmm, whoever tips the most, and whoever is the number one big spender the most times, I will have special rewards for."
