Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1004: “BP Verification Competition”

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction after listening to Chen Yufeng’s report.

Indeed, the effect was immediate. Even other live-stream platforms approved of it!

As the saying went, the one who understood you the most would always be your enemy.

The other live-stream platforms could tell that Bunny Tail Live-stream was no longer a threat. This was proof of Pei Qian’s judgment.

This meant that Boss Pei could rest easy on Bunny Tail’s live-stream!

“Well done, I’m very satisfied.”

“I’ll give Bunny Tail live-stream another ten million yuan on top of daily expenses. You can spend it and organize some events.”

Pei Qian did not have any restrictions. Instead, he limited the use of the money to ‘organize some activities’.

That was because he felt that if they were to poach live streamers, they might be able to poach live streamers with more potential. What’s more, live streamers’ contracts were usually long-term. They usually had to be signed for a year. In the long term, there would be hidden dangers.

On the other hand, the popularity of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was very low at the moment. Most likely, it would not cause much of a stir.

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment. “Er... Boss Pei, of course it’s good to have funds, but to organize an event now...”

“It doesn’t seem to be worth it.”

“That’s because our website’s popularity has just plummeted. It’s best to recover slowly now. Even if we do something drastic, it might not have a good effect. Instead, it might cause some viewers to feel disgusted.”

Pei Qian smiled slightly. “You can’t be so sure. Everything depends on the person.”

“As long as you do a good job, you’ll be able to achieve publicity.”

“I believe in you. There won’t be a problem!”

Chen Yufeng :”...”

He was about to say “Boss Pei, you think too highly of me”, but Boss Pei had already stood up and was ready to leave.

“Alright, that’s settled then.”

“Hurry up and think about what activities to organize. It doesn’t have to be too complicated. It should be just right.”

Pei Qian did not want to give Chen Yufeng too much pressure. He only hoped that Chen Yufeng would spend this sum of money casually.

Chen Yufeng: “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll do my best...”

...

Chen Yufeng sat down in front of his desk, frowning and thinking hard after sending Boss Pei off.

Boss Pei was still so unpredictable.

Boss Pei was more generous towards them than towards the other departments with salary and additional funds so Boss Pei did care about the Bunny Tail Live-Stream. However, Boss Pei was also the one who created the ‘mandatory one hour’ function, causing the popularity of the live-stream of Bunny Tail to be severely damaged. What’s more, he had no intention of changing it even now.

Based on Boss Pei’s efficiency, the 10 million yuan should be in his bank account very soon. However, Chen Yufeng had no idea what exactly he should do.

He frowned and scrolled through his computer for a long time, but he could not think of anything suitable.

Someone pushed open the door and entered just as he was fretting.

He looked up and saw Ma Yang.

“Boss Ma! Why are you here? Boss Pei just left,” Chen Yufeng said.

Ma Yang was stunned. “Huh? Brother Qian was here? Why didn’t anyone tell me?!”

Chen Yufeng quickly explained, “Boss Pei said that there was no need to inform you. He only came to give us a simple task and then left. There was nothing else.”

Ma Yang looked very serious. “Eh? A mission? What mission? Brother Qian’s mission must be completed seriously!”

Chen Yufeng briefly explained Boss Pei’s request.

A slightly confused expression appeared on Ma Yang’s long face. “Brother Qian might as well have not said anything. He didn’t have any requests. Not even a direction.”

Chen Yufeng nodded. “That’s right. That’s why I’m worried.”

“Sigh, Boss Ma, why don’t you think of one?”

“You have always been Boss Pei’s right-hand man and trusted aide. You share the same thoughts as Boss Pei. Many of the ideas you came up with have been taken in by Boss Pei. Your ideas are definitely reliable!”

Ma Yang swaggered onto the sofa. “No problem, I’ll think of one.”

“Hm...”

“Set up an E-Sports competition?”

Chen Yufeng nodded silently. This answer was within his expectations.

Indeed, E-Sports was one of his few hobbies in Boss Ma’s life. The first thing Boss Ma thought of when he started an event was E-Sports competition.

However, the problem was... this did not seem to be a good choice.

Chen Yufeng deliberated for a moment before saying, “E-Sports competition is indeed a good choice. The audience with the highest visibility on our website are that of E-Sports competition after all. There are still many E-Sports audience who insist on watching the competition on our website when other types of audience are lost.”

“However...”

“We already have the ICL and GPL competitions. The competition schedule for these two competitions is very dense. What’s more, we can only organize some live-stream and friendly competitions at most. How can the attention level compare to these two formal competitions?”

This question stumped Ma Yang. His long face revealed a thoughtful expression and he did not reply for a long time.

That seemed to be the case thinking about it.

However, Old Ma was obviously not someone who would give up easily. He thought hard for a while. “So, what’s the main problem?”

Chen Yufeng was silent for a moment. “There are two problems. The first is it would not look good if the competition is not professional enough. The second is that the competition that we organize is very difficult to distinguish from the two leagues.”

Ma Yang pondered for a moment. “Why don’t we organize a competition that is professional enough and can be distinguished from the other two leagues then?”

Chen Yufeng opened his mouth, speechless.

He had thought that Boss Ma’s words were rather nonsensical. Those two were the top players in the professional league. Why should we organize a competition that was more professional than them?

However, Chen Yufeng thought about it carefully and realized that there seemed to be a way.

“If we force it...”

“We can organize the original members of DGE’s two teams, and then organize a team battle with FV Team and SUG Team!”

“These four teams definitely represent the highest level of GOG and IOI in the country.”

“However... Each game only has two teams. They will not be able to fight, we can’t possibly get DGE’s two teams to battle in BO10, right?”

Ma Yang pondered for a moment. “It’s not impossible to play a BO10. It’s fine as long as the competition is exciting. However, what if there are no trainers on both sides? Who will play BP?”

“Eh, I suddenly thought of a good idea.”

“How about we let the audiences vote on the BP?”

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head. “How can that do? It will definitely become a performance if the audiences vote. At that time, it will be an entertainment competition. The difference in the lineup between the two sides might be huge. It won’t be very exciting.”

Ma Yang said, “Of course we will not do it for all the heroes. We can choose a few lineups to vote for!”

“Aren’t there bullet screen trainers every time we watch a competition? They say that the coach’s BP is trash and that the lineup of the team is not good. However, some people would say that there’s no problem with the BP. It’s the players who are trash.”

“This has become an unsolved mystery. I’ve always wanted to know if it is the BP that is bad or the player that is bad? ”

“Let’s organize a BP verification competition to answer this confusion!”

Chen Yufeng’s eyes lit up. “I understand now, Boss Ma!”

“You’re saying that we’ll organize a competition that will only allow the original DGE Team One and Team Two, as well as the members of FV Team and SUG Team to participate. They will be divided into GOG Group and IOI Group.”

“Then, we’ll look for a few more controversial BP plans online.”

“The characteristics of these proposals are: The coach and players felt that they could play and chose them in the main competition, but the bullet screen audience felt that they could not play.”

“Let’s invite two teams to fight each other to test whether it was the lineup that was not good enough or the players that were not good enough!”

“The audience would want to see it if we do this!”

Chen Yufeng could already imagine how grand the bullet screen comments would be once the competition was organized.

If the trainers in the bullet screen comments thought that the ‘Brainiac BP’ had won, there would definitely be a large group of people spamming ‘Brainiac BP’. It would mean that the team members were not strong enough and the coach is to be blamed’. On the other hand, if the trainers in the bullet screen comments thought that the’ Brainiac BP ‘had lost, there would definitely be a large group of people spamming’ Look, say that this BP is trash. Even the five top players would not be able to win. Didn’t I say that this coach is trash!’

It was hard to say if the competition would be more exciting than the ICL and GPL leagues, but the intensity of the bullet screen comments would definitely not be fake. The topic of the competition would definitely not be low!

What’s more, the audience would get tired of watching ordinary events or competitions. However, this competition could be held multiple times.

That was because the tactics of each team would change with every update. There would always be a new “brainless BP” that needed to be verified by this “BP verification competition”.

Even though the original DGE members had been dispersed to various teams and played the main force in their respective positions, they had a good relationship with each other and also had tacit understanding. If they could reorganize DGE’s two teams, they could use the time where there was no competition to play this “BP verification competition”.

Boss Pei had given them ample publicity funds. The teams were on good terms with Tengda’s E-Sports department. Everyone would definitely cooperate if they were to sponsor these teams.

Even the coaches of each team would pay attention to this competition if it was done well. They would see how strong the BP would be in the top teams and what details the top teams would have when they played this lineup. This was also a good thing for the improvement of the entire competition zone.

Most importantly, this competition could only be held by Bunny Tail because there was no other live-stream platform that could invite the original DGE Club members!

Chen Yufeng immediately perked up. He had been a little dispirited before, but now, he had found a new direction.

“Boss Ma, this idea of yours is amazing! Great minds think alike!”

“This event definitely meets Boss Pei’s requirements!”

“I’ll contact them now. Set the competition schedule according to the time of the GPL and ICL leagues. Arrange it as soon as possible!”
