Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1317: Boss Ma Is Really A Man Of Character

Hu Xianbin hugged his laptop and walked through the same sparse work desk as Tengda’s Bunny Tail Live-Stream. He came to Boss Ma’s office and knocked lightly.

He could vaguely hear the sound of a competition live-stream coming from the office.

“Please come in!”

Hu Xianbin pushed the door open and entered after a loud response.

There was a huge projector in the spacious office. It was playing the latest GOG international invitational tournament today.

Both sides were in the midst of an intense battle while Boss Ma sat in an armchair and watched the competition very excitedly.

Hu Xianbin could not help but feel emotional. Boss Ma loved his job.

Previously, he had been in charge of investing. He had invested a huge sum of money without any hesitation. Now, he was in charge of Bunny Tail live-stream. He did not forget to watch the competition live-stream even though he was busy. It was enough to show that he was quite serious and responsible for his job.

A smile appeared on Ma Yang’s long face when he saw Hu Xianbin. He immediately stood up. “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Come, sit down and watch the competition. There’s a drink over there. Take whatever you want to drink.”

“At that time, I complained to Brother Qian that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was lacking people and needed a good assistant. In the end, Brother Qian arranged for you to come over without any hesitation.”

“I’m relieved that you’re here!”

Boss Ma’s enthusiasm overwhelmed Hu Xianbin.

Previously, he had many doubts about this work transfer.

It felt like he was being sent to jail?

Hu Xianbin asked himself. He had worked in Tengda Games for a long time and his game results were quite good.

However, it felt like Boss Pei was targeting him deliberately no matter how he looked at it.

Hu Xianbin was confused. Was Boss Pei not satisfied with me?

However, no matter how bad I am as the person-in-charge, I shouldn’t make Yu Fei replace me, right?

Now that Boss Ma said that, he understood.

Obviously, he was not going to be sent to jail. Instead, he was going to put me in a good position!

It turned out that Boss Ma had complained to Boss Pei that Bunny Tail Live-Stream lacked talents. That was why Boss Pei arranged for me to come here.

In other words, Boss Pei highly approves of my work in Tengda Games. He thinks that I’ve grown to a certain extent. I can stop being restricted in the games department and come to a brand new environment to display my talent!

At that thought, Hu Xianbin’s disappointment dissipated. He suddenly felt motivated.

Thus, he sat down on the sofa and watched the competition with Boss Ma.

It was obvious that Boss Ma was quite engrossed in watching the competition. Sometimes he clapped and cheered, sometimes he sighed and shook his hands. He also often commented on the situation of the entire competition.

He did not have the airs of a Vice-President at all. He was quite down-to-earth.

However, the content he posted about the competition… did not seem right at all…

Min Jingchao might be in charge of GOG and Hu Xianbin did not participate much, but he had a professional understanding.

To put it bluntly, Boss Ma’s understanding of the game was on the same level as many bullet screen comments…

When Boss Ma was shouting, “Why are you not fighting? You’re too cowardly.” Basically, the other party would take advantage of the situation in advance and their heroes would not be strong enough. They could not fight.

Boss Ma was shouting ‘why don’t the mid-laner support’ because the mid-laner was targeted by a wave, causing the minions to be coincidentally under their own tower;

Boss Ma said that he was optimistic about a certain lineup. The correct rate was basically floating around 50%.

It did not even seem like toxic milk. It seemed to be purely random…

All in all, Boss Ma’s opinions on the competition situation had no reference value.

However, Hu Xianbin did not belittle Boss Ma because of this.

There were specializations in the industry after all!

As a management manager and an investment genius, it was normal for him not to understand games.

Boss Ma’s positive participation attitude and down-to-earth viewing of the competition was very commendable!

Hu Xianbin suddenly had an idea as he thought about it.

“Eh? Could this be one of the reasons why Boss Pei arranged for me to live-stream Bunny Tail?”

“Boss Ma obviously doesn’t understand games!”

“What’s more, Chen Yufeng, who was caught on Suffering Travels from Bunny Tail Live-Stream, is not a professional in the game industry.”

“Is this a hint from Boss Pei? Is he hinting that I’m moving my position to make up for the shortcomings of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and work hard in the game industry?”

The more Hu Xianbin thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.

If Boss Ma knew games very well, Hu Xianbin would not understand why he came to Bunny Tail live-stream.

After all, he did not have any special abilities. He had only learned about game design after working under Boss Pei for so long.

Was this a hint now?

It undoubtedly pointed to the future development of Bunny Tail Live-Stream!

Soon, the game ended.

Ma Yang picked up the 1,600 milliliters cup next to him and gulped it down.

He had no choice. He had been too engrossed in the competition just now. He had used up too much water and his mouth was dry.

Hu Xianbin could not help but feel emotional when he saw the cup that was similar to a small water bottle.

Boss Ma was indeed a man of character. He could even drink water with such character.

Boss Pei and Boss Ma were two completely different sides of the same coin.

Boss Pei was the type who was calm and collected and had everything under control. If this was in the ancient times, he would be considered a wise general. He would be able to smile and talk as the enemy’s fleet was reduced to ashes.

On the other hand, Boss Ma was especially straightforward and sincere. He would probably be a ferocious warrior in ancient times. He might be rash but he could also achieve something.

Why else would Boss Pei and Boss Ma be good partners!

During the break, Ma Yang asked, “By the way, let’s talk briefly about business before the competition starts.”

“The last time I had a meal with Brother Qian, he briefly explained the future development of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. I’ve noted it down.”

“Previously, Chen Yufeng said that he wanted to turn Bunny Tail Live-Stream into a real knowledge platform, but Brother Qian rejected him.”

“Then, I suggest that we fight Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream to the death and burn money to poach their live-streamers. Brother Qian said that instead of poaching live-streamers, we should poach live-streamers. We should find some new people and gradually attract them to our platform.”

“Lastly, we have to spend more money on the development platform function, but not on academics.”

“Get the hang of it and think about what to do.”

Ma Yang had recorded everything that Pei Qian had said during the buffet until now.

However, until now, he had not figured out what function he should use…

Chen Yufeng had been arranged to dig out the live streamers, but such things would not have much obvious effect in the short term. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (f)ire

What’s more, Bunny Tail Live-Stream had been busy with the broadcast of GOG’s international invitational tournament and other competitions recently. Ma Yang himself was watching the competition very intently. Sometimes, he would forget to think about the specific functions.

Thus, he delayed it for a while.

Now that Hu Xianbin was here, work could continue smoothly.

Hu Xianbin’s eyes lit up. “Boss Pei made it clear!”

“Boss Ma, you don’t have to say anything. I understand!”

“I think there are two reasons why Boss Pei said that we should burn money on the development platform’s functions, but not on academics.”

“First, dig deeper into the platform function in terms of academic content. It would be difficult to dig out anything no matter how hard you work.”

“That’s because creating the effect of students and lecturers interacting face-to-face through live-streaming is the most direct and effective way of spreading academic content. Doing other fancy functions would not improve the actual experience.”

“At the moment, the live-stream content of Bunny Tail’s live-stream and the recording of the lecture are enough to meet academic requirements. We just have to wait for the content to gradually fill up.”

“Second, Boss Pei obviously did not restrict the positioning of Bunny Tail Live-Stream to death. He limited it to the academic platform.”

“While highlighting this point would be more conducive to creating labels and leave a deep impression on the audience, if you emphasize it too much, it would naturally dissuade many potential users.”

“If we link Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the learning platform together, many people would subconsciously not want to watch it. How can we do that?”

“Our ultimate goal is to let everyone know that there is some academic content on Bunny Tail live-stream so that they can learn about it. At the same time, we are not lacking in other aspects, such as entertainment and games. That’s good!”

“After analyzing these two points, Boss Pei is obviously hinting that the new function that Bunny Tail Live-Stream wants to develop must be a huge investment, obvious effect, and unique competitive entertainment content!”

“With the help of this new content, we have to further broaden the audience’s understanding of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. We have to create new branches apart from the main academic content and E-Sports Live-Stream!”

Ma Yang nodded repeatedly. “Yes, that makes sense!”

“That’s right, I also think that’s what Brother Qian must be thinking!”

Hu Xianbin was very pleased with Boss Ma’s approval. He continued, “What’s more, Boss Pei has decided on the general direction.”

“Actually, I don’t have any special talents. Compared to the other person-in-charge, I’m just closer to the games department and have a deeper understanding of the game.”

“That’s why I think Boss Pei is hinting to me to strengthen the link between Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the games department. He should design some new functions for Bunny Tail Live-Stream based on the game content!”

Ma Yang listened intently. “Such as?”

Hu Xianbin pondered for a moment. “For example, we can ask the games department to cooperate and develop the function of live-streaming in the game. We can get through the game client and live-stream platform.”

“I remember that some RTS games had already achieved the effect of recording a game with a few hundred kilograms for tens of minutes.”

“That’s because the live-stream platform transmits images with high-yield rates, and the game records a series of data. If players have a client, as long as they use a small amount of game data and mobilize the game’s graphics resources to display on the local computer, they can achieve an excellent effect.”

“Of course, this method cannot replace the current mainstream live-stream method. After all, most people watch live-streams on cell phones or websites.”

“However, it can be used as a supplement. On one hand, it would give the audience another choice. Let them choose to use their own computers to play games. They would be free to OB and see more details. The quality of the painting would definitely improve. On the other hand, it would reduce the pressure on the platform’s bandwidth and carry a larger user base!”
