Chapter 927: This Is A Win-Win Situation!

March 8th, Thursday…

The exhibition match of the ICL league was about to begin.

After today’s exhibition match, he could basically confirm that all aspects of the league were fine.

The equipment had been adjusted and the live-stream signal was OK. There should not be too many accidents apart from rare emergencies. It could give the audience a more stable and good viewing experience.

The ICL league officially began on Saturday.

Today, neither Zhao Xuming nor Eric went to the ICL league venue. Instead, they were busy working in their own offices.

There should be no problem with the venue. There was no need to watch it every day.

The problem was the live-stream.

Zhao Xuming looked at the time. FV and SUG exhibition match was about to begin, so he took out his cell phone to check.

He had been reading the comments online ever since the competition ended yesterday. The more he read, the angrier he became.

Most people were mocking them, saying that the ICL league was not popular enough, that no one would watch it, and that they were wasting money!

There were also people who speculated that Boss Pei had deliberately bought out the ICL league and put it on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Then, he deliberately lowered the popularity of the league so that it would die.

In fact, Zhao Xuming had thought the same at first. However, he felt that he had wronged Boss Pei after talking to Chen Yufeng on the phone.

That was because the standards of Bunny Tail’s live-stream seemed to be the same. Boss Pei was a straightforward and upright person. Even if it was a business competition, it would be upright. He would not lie over such a small matter.

He could only say that the real data of the ICL league was indeed a little sad. He had no choice.

It had to be said that the internet was filled with negative comments about ICL. This made Zhao Xuming very frustrated.

The ICL league had just begun, but it was already declining. There was no way to attract more viewers. What would happen in the future?

However, he did not have a good solution. He could only wait and see.

Zhao Xuming looked at the number of people in the ICL league live-stream once again.

This time, his eyes lit up.

There were 59,837 viewers in the live-stream!

Last time, it was less than 30,000. This time, it was close to 60,000. The number had doubled!

Zhao Xuming’s awkward expression eased a little.

It had to be said that FV Club’s traffic was indeed quite high. After all, it was a team that had beaten foreign teams and won the world championship not long ago. It ‘doubled the number of audiences’ the moment it appeared.

However…

Sixty thousand viewership was still very shabby!

There was still a huge gap between 60,000 viewers compared to live-stream platforms that had a million viewers.

Fortunately, the number was still increasing as the competition progressed.

Many people did not pay attention to the preparations for the ICL league in real time. Perhaps they only knew about the live-stream of the competition after seeing the discussion on the forum. Thus, the number of viewers kept increasing.

No matter what, it was much better than the competition yesterday. Zhao Xuming could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, he was still worried about this shabby popularity.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Xuming looked up. It was his assistant.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Xuming asked.

The assistant said excitedly, “Boss Zhao, didn’t you ask me to think of a countermeasure yesterday? I thought of it!”

Zhao Xuming was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that the so-called ‘countermeasure’ referred to ‘countermeasure for solving the problem of too few people in the live-stream’.

Zhao Xuming was pleasantly surprised. “Tell me about it?”

In fact, he did not expect his assistant to come up with any reliable countermeasures. He was just saying it casually. After all, the contract had already been signed. There was no such clause in it. It was impossible for Bunny Tail Live-Stream to change the numbers in the backend. Boss Pei was famous for being stubborn.

Now, the assistant had actually said that he had thought of a countermeasure. It was always good to hear it no matter whether it would work or not.

The assistant said confidently, “Boss Zhao, I really didn’t think of a good idea at first. After all, it’s impossible to get Bunny Tail Live-Stream to help us fake the data.”

“That’s why I couldn’t think of a good solution even after thinking about it all night.”

“But just now! I had a flash of inspiration. I think we misunderstood Boss Pei!”

“We should do the opposite!”

“Actually, is it embarrassing to have numbers like 30,000 or 60,000? The key is who we are competing with. Compared to the popularity of other live-stream platforms that had a few million views easily, the numbers look much worse.”

“However! We can make use of this to make an issue out of it!”

“We can hire fake reviewers to publicize it on the internet. The other live-stream platforms are all fake. Millions or tens of millions of viewers in fact only had about thirty to fifty thousand viers. The entire live-stream circle works on fake data except for Bunny Tail live-streams. We are the same as Bunny Tail Live-stream. We are very honest and sincere. We will definitely not lie to the audience!”

Zhao Xuming was stunned.

Do the opposite?

Made sense!

Since he could not change the data for Bunny Tail Live-Stream, he could just drag the other live-stream platforms down with him, right?

Thirty thousand to fifty thousand viewers did look very shabby, but if all viewers accepted the fact that the live-stream platform was faking data and all viewers felt that the millions of popular live-streamers on other live-stream platforms only had ten to twenty thousand viewers, wouldn’t that prove that the ICL league was very popular?

What’s more, the other live-stream platforms would not be able to fight back if he were to pull them down with him.

That was because the popularity of these live-stream platforms was fake to begin with. They were calculated based on the number of people, gifts, and various other data. The algorithms were all confidential and would not be leaked out at all.

They could announce the actual number of people on their platform if they had the ability!

These live-stream platforms would definitely not dare to.

That was because they were different from Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Bunny Tail Live-Stream had the real number of viewers as soon as it started. It had already established such an image, and the audience had accepted it. On the other hand, other live-stream platforms had been using popularity to create an illusion. Once they announced the real number, no matter how low it was, the audience would not believe it!

For example, if a platform with millions of popular streamers said that their real number was 500,000, the audience would definitely not believe it. If they said that their popularity was only 50,000, the audience would mock him for faking it, but at the same time, they would still not believe it!

That was because everyone would only think that the live-stream platform was fake. The 50,000 viewers also meant to make it sound better.

The live-stream platform, which had been using popularity to replace the real number of people and using agreement gifts to replace the real gifts, had actually lost the trust of the audience.

Most of the viewers were just watching for fun and did not take the numbers seriously.

Therefore, the other live-stream platforms would not be able to counterattack or prove themselves if they seized this point!

The best part was that they had the reputation of Bunny Tail Live-stream and Tengda Corporation as their backers!

Bunny Tail Live-Stream was a platform created by Boss Pei. All the live-streams were real data. However, the live-stream platform did not deliberately highlight this point.

Some viewers knew that Bunny Tail’s live-stream showed the real number of viewers, but they did not publicize it, so it did not have much influence.

If Long Yu Corporation were to fork out money to do marketing and let more people know that the number of people live-streaming Bunny Tail was real, while the other live-stream platforms were fake popularity and filled with various fake situations…

Wouldn’t that prove that the ICL league was actually very popular? The data looked as though it was burning because they were too honest?

He had solved this problem perfectly!

Zhao Xuming was elated. “That’s a good idea! Let’s do that!”

“Buy fake reviewers immediately. Get someone to go online to set the tempo. Say that other live-stream platforms are seriously faking it. Those popular live-streamers only have tens of thousands or even fewer viewers. The number of viewers for Bunny Tail’s live-stream is completely real!”

“In that case, the ICL league’s audience would not be small, it would be real!”

“What’s more, we can also compare the number of people yesterday and today’s number. This means that the ICL league has a constant inflow of fresh blood. The attention for the entire league is constantly increasing!”

“Quick, take advantage of the fact that FV Team is in the competition now and has more attention, do it immediately! We must create a hot topic of discussion on the internet before the competition is over and start a discussion on the internet after the competition!”

The assistant nodded immediately. “Alright, Boss Zhao, I’ll do it right away!”

After the assistant left the office, Zhao Xuming entered the live-stream of Bunny Tail again to check the number of viewers in the ICL league.

The first round of the competition had already begun. The number of viewers had reached 65,782. It was increasing!

Obviously, this could be made used of as well.

The audience could not determine the real number of viewers from the popularity of live-streams if it were other live-stream platforms, because they changed too much and there were often situations where the popularity was fake.

Was this live-stream really becoming more and more popular? Or was it just a facade created by the platform?

The audience could not tell.

However, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was different. The audience had already accepted that this was real data. There was no falsification of data. Thus, the increase in the number of people was real.

30,000 yesterday and more than 60,000 today. Didn’t that mean that the attention and influence of the ICL league were gradually increasing?

Zhao Xuming could not help but feel emotional. It seemed like he had wronged Boss Pei!

On the surface, Boss Pei’s real data seemed to make the ICL league lose face, but in fact, it was a method of suppressing one’s desires!

He released real data the entire time, making the ICL league with only thirty thousand viewers on the first day mocked by the entire internet.

However, this would also let everyone know that the data of Bunny Tail’s live-stream was real and not fake.

The next day, the actual number of viewers doubled, and it was still increasing. Didn’t this prove to the audience that the ICL league was definitely popular?

“I see, Boss Pei is far-sighted!”

“Indeed, this is in line with Boss Pei’s usual marketing methods. It’s unique and creative!”

“We have indeed wronged Boss Pei previously. It looks like Boss Pei really wants to cooperate with us and promote the ICL league!”

“Since that’s the case, we have to do something as well. Help Bunny Tail live-stream publicize their real statistics!”

Zhao Xuming was very happy. As the saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate.

It seemed like Boss Pei sincerely wanted to cooperate. He had done all sorts of work well, and the publicity was very good. The only small misunderstanding was the problem with the number of people in the live-stream. Now, even that has been resolved.

Since that was the case, he would help Boss Pei advertise Bunny Tail Live-Stream.

After all, wouldn’t the ICL league become popular after promoting Bunny Tail live-stream?

This was undoubtedly a win-win situation!
