The show's popularity naturally attracted many advertisers. However, Ye Zhi had instructed them to be selective with advertisers, stating they shouldn't lower the show's quality with ads for unverified products.
With a surge of new users, Shi Fan seized the opportunity to launch a game live-streaming competition event.
Many users had been forced by their elders or relatives to register and vote. However, upon seeing this live-streaming event, they were immediately captivated.
In addition to game live-streaming, the live-streaming website had also invited video creators from various other sites to join. The site's videos were diverse, covering everything from food, cooking, cute pets, to knowledge, ensuring that many users could find videos they enjoyed.
With all these factors combined, t-live's user growth was not only impressive but its user retention rate and average usage time were astonishingly good!
The popularity of t-live naturally made Ou Minghan extremely uncomfortable.
Fei Long Live had its variety show shut down, leading to a massive user loss. Now, with t-live experiencing a surge in users, Ou Minghan felt that Ye Zhi was clearly taking advantage of their misfortune to snatch their users!
However, while he could convince Cen Ya with this reasoning, he couldn't convince Cen Ya's mother, Ni Na!
After all, Cen Ya was head over heels in love with him, but Ni Na didn't care about that. She only cared about profit. If Fei Long Live continued to decline, it would be very difficult for him to get money from the Cen family again.
Just as he was agonizing over how to salvage the situation, Gu Sheng, under Ni Na's orders, directly came to Fei Long Live to demand accountability!
Ou Minghan was truly infuriated. He was already struggling to deal with Ye Zhi, how could he possibly spare any effort for Gu Sheng? Moreover, Gu Sheng was someone he couldn't even bother to look at!
What was most infuriating was that Ni Na currently trusted Gu Sheng immensely, and he couldn't do anything to Gu Sheng! Otherwise, if anything happened to Gu Sheng, the Cen family would definitely assume he was responsible!
Ou Minghan had his company employees stall Gu Sheng and invited him into the reception room. Then, he secretly called Cen Ya before meeting with Gu Sheng.
Naturally, Gu Sheng didn't give Ou Minghan a pleasant look. He got straight to the point, "I'm here to inquire about the recent status of the live-streaming website on behalf of Mrs. Cen."
Ou Minghan immediately pulled out a stack of documents, but before he could say a few words, Gu Sheng interrupted him.
"That's enough, you should know very well why I'm here," Gu Sheng said impatiently. "t-live is on a strong trajectory, and Fei Long Live's variety show used for traffic has also been suspended. What are your plans to outperform Taoxun's t-live? Ou Minghan, think before you answer. Your answer will be taken back to Mrs. Cen."
With that, Gu Sheng directly took out a voice recorder, placed it on the table, and pressed the record button.
Ou Minghan glanced at the voice recorder on the table, his eyelids twitching. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Indeed, t-live's momentum is very strong right now, but its popularity is superficial! Once the heat from that show 'Dream Girl' fades, t-live will have a problem retaining users!
But Fei Long Live is different. We have signed the agency rights for the world's most popular real-time strategy game, 'Starcraft Conquest.' When the time comes, Fei Long Live can host a game competition, which will undoubtedly attract a large number of game fans to become loyal users of Fei Long Live, and Fei Long Live will successfully transform..."
"Then when do you plan to hold the competition?" Gu Sheng interrupted him directly.
Ou Minghan calculated it in his mind, "The competition should start in about half a month."
Gu Sheng let out a scoff, saying sarcastically, "In other words, you can't do anything about t-live for these next two weeks? Then how can you be so sure that after two weeks, you can definitely win against t-live with just a game?"
Ou Minghan was filled with rage. Gu Sheng, a man who used to only deserve to crawl at his feet, dared to mock him by borrowing authority?!
Once Gu Sheng loses the Cen family's protection, he would definitely not let Gu Sheng off!
"I will not let t-live off the hook in these two weeks!" Ou Minghan snorted coldly. "Right now, besides that variety show, t-live relies on game live-streaming, and there are quite a few streamers broadcasting 'Starcraft Conquest.'
The game is distributed by Fei Long Live, and all copyrights are also with us. Therefore, I plan to sue those streamers. Their broadcast of 'Starcraft Conquest' on other websites without Fei Long Live's authorization constitutes infringement, and I will seek huge compensation from these streamers!"
Gu Sheng's eyes widened in bewilderment. He disliked Ou Minghan and was purely acting as a messenger. He didn't care about how Ou Minghan would respond.
However, even though he didn't usually play games, he felt that Ou Minghan's plan was not quite right.
"Are you trying to generate revenue for the live-streaming website with this method?" Gu Sheng asked sternly.
"Of course not!" Ou Minghan said disdainfully. "How much money can those streamers have? Where would they get so much money to pay compensation? My suing them is nothing more than targeting t-live! After the lawsuits, no streamer will dare to stream 'Starcraft Conquest' on t-live anymore!
We have the copyrights, so we are in the right! Taoxun, to avoid suspicion, will definitely not help those streamers, and will even cut ties with them. When other types of game streamers see Taoxun acting so cold-blooded and not protecting their own streamers, will they still stay?
If the streamers leave, and the audience has nothing to watch, won't they leave too? At that time, as long as Fei Long Live offers generous terms, it will surely poach these streamers!"
Gu Sheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but hesitating.
He felt that Ou Minghan's idea was too idealistic. That was Ye Zhi, how could she cooperate with him? But then again, he was just a messenger, why should he help Ou Minghan?
"I will show these recordings to Mrs. Cen." Gu Sheng picked up the voice recorder and turned to leave.
Suddenly, the door of the reception room opened, and Cen Ya rushed in anxiously.
"Gu Sheng, how could you do this?" Cen Ya blamed him with hurt and anger. "Minghan is facing some difficulties right now, but how could you kick him while he's down and plan to report him to my mother?"
Unexpectedly, Cen Ya started blaming him as soon as they met. Gu Sheng was furious, "Cen Ya! Get it straight, if it weren't for your mother's request, I wouldn't have wanted to come here to see Ou Minghan! If you really hate me, just tell your mother to dismiss me!"
Seeing that he was angry, Cen Ya stammered, "Gu Sheng, I, I didn't mean it that way..."
"Gu Sheng, I know you hate me, and coincidentally, I hate you too!" Ou Minghan pulled Cen Ya to his side and continued, "But similarly, like you, we both love Ya Ya and want her to be happy, don't we?"
