Chapter 938: We Were Tricked By Zhao Xuming!

Zhu Yan immediately wanted to seek an explanation from Zhao Xuming.

The contract had been signed in black and white, there was still room for negotiation.

However, he had to deal with the problem with the live-stream platform before that.

Zhu Yan got his super admin subordinates to send a message. “Spoilers are strictly prohibited in the live-stream of the ICL league! Seal all spoilers for five hours!”

There was nothing that authority could solve. Then they could use some limitations!

Spoilers had a huge impact on the ICL league’s viewing experience. Zhu Yan did not dare to let his guard down. He could only block the audience of these spoilers and try his best to ensure that most of the audience could watch the competition.

Otherwise, before this matter was resolved, someone would continue to expose that the live-stream of the ICL league wouldn’t its popularity evaporate?

The supervisors received their orders one by one and began to kill in the live-stream of the ICL league. Soon, a string of banned red words floated up.

However, the popularity of the live-stream was still declining.

While most viewers’ viewing experience was guaranteed by this stupid method, the problem was that most viewers already knew the fact that Wolf Fang live-stream was 30 seconds slower than Bunny Tail.

In the end, not everyone could ignore this delay.

What’s more, the active viewers who were banned would definitely be very angry. Naturally, they would not continue to stay in Wolf Fang live-stream.

Thus, a group of people inevitably went to the Bunny Tail live-stream and became the hot topic of others.

Zhu Yan was furious. He immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhao Xuming.

…

At that moment, Zhao Xuming was in his office watching the ICL league on various platforms.

The other live-stream platforms were different from Bunny Tail Live-Streams. They were all fake figures, and their popularity was basically around two to three million yuan. Even though he knew that there were not many people in reality, such popularity still made Zhao Xuming very happy.

It was great that the ICL league could be distributed!

It would definitely be a good thing to nurture and expand the audience of the ICL league. with so many live-streaming platforms live-streaming together. Long Yu Corporation would definitely not lose out.

At that moment, his cell phone rang.

Zhao Xuming picked up immediately. “Hello? Boss Zhu, what’s the matter?”

Zhu Yan sounded very unhappy. “Boss Zhao, you’re not doing this right!”

Zhao Xuming was stunned. “What’s the matter? Why aren’t I doing things right? Boss Zhu, you’re confusing me.”

To Zhao Xuming, this was ridiculous. He had only been working with Wolf Fang live-stream on the ICL league recently. What was wrong with that?

He had been mediating and helping them obtain live-stream rights for the ICL league. They should be thanking him. Why were they blaming him?

Zhu Yan became even angrier seeing that Zhao Xuming was pretending to be stupid now. “Boss Zhao! Your suggestion of delaying the live-stream by 30 seconds has made us suffer! The audience realized the time difference between our live-stream and Bunny Tail’s live-stream. All of them came to my live-stream to spoil it. It severely affected the live-stream’s bullet screen environment. Many viewers are now running back to Bunny Tail’s live-stream!”

“Isn’t this impact serious?”

“Boss Zhao, we are the same as Bunny Tail Live-Stream. We are partners of Long Yu Corporation. You cannot favor one over the other!”

The value of the ICL league to Wolf Fang live-stream was mainly due to its popularity and the face of the platform for Zhu Yan.

There were not many people watching the ICL league in Wolf Fang live-stream. There would not be too many ballers giving gifts. They did not expect it to be profitable. However, this league could bring popularity to the entire platform and make the platform more competitive in terms of content. It could also recover blood through sponsorship and other methods.

Many live-streaming platforms were not making money now but they could increase their popularity as long as they could obtain endless financing and allow the entire company to continuously develop and grow.

However, Wolf Fang’s live-streaming ICL league was losing its popularity. It was obviously worse than cutting his flesh.

Zhao Xuming was dumbfounded.

What has this got to do with me?

I gave a suggestion on the spot. Didn’t you not raise any objections to this 30-second delay?

Why are you blaming it on me now!

What made Zhao Xuming the most speechless was that Zhu Yan even hinted that he was “favoring one over the other”. In other words, he was helping Bunny Tail live-stream to plot against other live-stream platforms.

Zhao Xuming could not voice out his bitterness. Why the f*ck would he do that?!

Boss Pei is not related to me and we are competitors. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to help him plot against you!

However, it was useless for Zhao Xuming to explain now. That was because it would be easy for people to misunderstand if he tried to push the blame from the outcome.

Long Yu Corporation first sold the exclusive broadcasting rights to Bunny Tail live-stream and then took the lead to find other live-stream platforms to distribute the broadcasting rights. Finally, they took the initiative to propose a thirty-second delay…

He could only say that the blame was very unjust, but it was reasonable.

Zhao Xuming immediately said righteously, “Boss Zhu, there’s no such thing!”

“At that time, when I suggested a thirty-second delay, it was mainly because Bunny Tail Live-Stream was slightly disadvantaged in the process of this transaction. I only suggested this in order to facilitate the transaction! Didn’t you strongly object?”

“The contract has been signed, and you’re pushing all the responsibility to me. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?”

“In my opinion, Boss Zhu, since this conflict has already happened, we still have to think about how to solve this problem. How about this, I’ll discuss with Boss Chen at Bunny Tail Live-Stream and see if we can cancel the thirty seconds delay…”

“Of course, if you want to change the details of the contract, you must make some concessions in other aspects. What’s more, if Boss Chen doesn’t agree, I can’t do anything…”

Zhu Yan nodded. “That’s the only way.”

Both parties had already signed a contract after all. The penalty for breaking a contract like this was very scary. If they forcibly broke the contract, not only would they not be able to broadcast the ICL league, but they might also have to pay a huge sum of money in court.

Zhu Yan was filled with regret. He felt like he had been tricked!

Previously, he had thought that it was a trivial problem. Now, it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

If Boss Pei insisted on fulfilling the contract, Zhu Yan and Zhao Xuming would have no choice but to be helpless and furious.

…

At the same time, Pei Qian was still flipping through the information submitted by the HR department in his office, thinking about who should be the person-in-charge of this ‘snack market’.

It was not easy to find someone who could complete his task accurately among the Cold-Faced Lady’s many employees. He had to choose carefully.

However, after reading so much information, Pei Qian’s goal was almost set.

Pei Qian looked at the time. It was already past five in the afternoon. It was time to knock off.

Thus, he stretched and prepared to leave.

“Right, many live-streaming platforms are going to start broadcasting the ICL league today, right?”

“If that’s the case, the popularity of Bunny Tail Live-Stream should decrease, right?”

Pei Qian suddenly thought of this. Thus, he turned on Bunny Tail live-stream, wanting to see the number of people in the ICL league live-stream.

The number of people in the live-stream was all real data. Thus, there was no need to log in to the platform to see the real changes in the data.

Previously, the ICL league had around 80,000 people at its peak. Now, he hoped that this number could be halved. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Pei Qian saw the number of people in the ICL league live-stream. Indeed, there were only about 60,000 people left.

Today was also a focus battle. Logically speaking, the number of people should continue to be around 80,000. The 20,000 that had fallen had obviously gone to other platforms.

It was only the first day. Many people in the ICL league still had the habit of watching the competition live from Bunny Tail. As time passed, more and more people would go to other platforms to watch the competition.

In other words, he might not even get 60,000 viewers in the future.

Pei Qian could not help but nod slightly.

It might not have met his highest expectations and the number of people did not half to 40,000 but it was still a cause for celebration!

The bullet screen comments were not affected at all but Pei Qian was still very happy to see the number of people in the live-stream decreasing.

However, just as Pei Qian saw a series of bullet screen comments just as he was about to turn off the live-stream . He suddenly felt that something was amiss.

“Eh, why does it seem to be much faster here?”

“Indeed, it is faster here!”

“It’s really 30 seconds faster than the enemy platform?”

“I came from Wolf Fang’s live-stream!”

“I came from ZZ Live-Stream!”

“Brothers from Waiwai Live-Stream, raise your hands!”

“Don’t use the names of other platforms. Aren’t you afraid of being banned by super admins?”

“It’s alright. The super admins here are very tolerant. They won’t ban us because of this.”

“D*mn spoiler dog, they made me come here to watch the competition instead!”

Pei Qian suddenly had an ominous feeling when he saw the comments.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

The number of viewers in the live-stream suddenly began to increase. The original 60,000-odd people kept rising every second at a rate of at least a few hundred to a thousand!

This was especially so after the exciting team battle. This change would be especially intense. One could even see thousands of people entering at the same time!

At the end of the first round, the number of people watching the ICL league live-stream by Bunny Tail successfully reached a peak.

91,377 people!

There were 10,000 more people than the previous peak period!

Pei Qian rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly.

He double-checked that it was indeed 90,000!

Obviously, the 90,000 viewers this time were caused by some viewers from other live-stream platforms who came to watch the competition.

There was actually a group of people who originally did not watch the ICL league.

However, the ICL league was distributed to all major live-stream platforms, all live-stream platforms were desperately advertising and directing traffic, attracting viewers who originally did not watch the ICL league.

However, during the viewing process, they were inexplicably disgusted by the spoiler dog. Thus, a portion of them came to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to watch the competition. In the end, it caused the number of people watching Bunny Tail live-stream to increase instead of decrease!

It could be said that the thirty seconds delay had objectively helped to absorb popularity from other live-stream platforms…

Previously, Chen Yufeng had already shown Pei Qian the contract. However, at that time, Pei Qian’s focus had been on the exact amount of the contract and the other platforms that had given him money. He had not noticed this ’30 seconds’.

It was only now that he suddenly realized that there was a huge problem with the 30-second clause!

Pei Qian could not help but slam the table, almost blurting out.

“F*ck! I’ve been tricked by Zhao Xuming!”
