Gu Bai spent the past two days dealing with matters left over from the Spring Festival. Upon returning to Shanghai, he didn’t even et with Qi Man and Yi Yiyi. Having just finished with the group’s affairs, he began to worry about the financing matters for Panda TV.
The Shanghai Global Financial Center is a skyscraper located in Lujiazui, Shanghai, Hua Country, completed on August 29, 2008. It stands 492 ters tall, with 101 floors above ground, currently ranking as the third tallest building in China and the tallest flat-roofed building in the world.
At this mont, the large open conference hall on the 60th floor was already filled with dia guests.
In addition to the executives from Black Swan Group’s investnt departnt and Panda TV’s executives and directors, several top strears from Panda TV were also invited to the financing signing ceremony.
Originally, a B level financing could have been casually completed with just internal signatures, but Principal Wang insisted on using this opportunity to show off publicly. Panda TV had been silent for too long; before, Douyu and Huya were fighting fiercely, using all kinds of ways to seize the market and capture users. In contrast, Panda TV’s market was gradually being eroded, and rumors of bankruptcy liquidation had spread, causing unease among its strears. Now that there was finally a chance to turn things around, how could Principal Wang possibly let it pass?
The rostrum was occupied by executives from both companies, while the strears on the other side posed for the dia caras.
Panda’s top strears were few; only four showed up.
The lineup included League of Legends strears PDD, WE丶Ruo Feng, and those appearing in the League of Legends section but actually serving as look-focused strears, Zou Erke and Zhou Shuyi.
Facing the caras of various dia outlets, even soone as quirky as PDD dared not overdo it, maintaining a formal smile as he posed for photos. Still, his formal deanor was hilariously funny.
Nevertheless, Zhou Shuyi, known for her beauty, appeared quite charming.
The group couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer, and Sausage Pig was the first to speak: "Gosh, I can’t stand it any longer! When are Chairman Gu and Principal Wang going to show up? If they don’t co out, these reporters will take endless photos of . What’s there to capture about a small strear like ?"
Unable to contain herself, Zhou Shuyi chid in: "I advise you to behave yourself. Don’t let the dia catch hold of sothing embarrassing about you, or you’ll regret it."
Zou Erke, on the other hand, started to joke.
"I’ve been thinking about sothing. Among the four of us here, starting today, apart from Ruo Feng, we’re really working for Chairman Gu."
Confused, Zhou Shuyi asked, "What do you an?"
"Think about it. We are already strears under Black Swan Entertainnt, so Chairman Gu is technically our boss. Now it’s even scarier; Chairman Gu has beco a shareholder in Panda, aning our earnings are split with the platform, right? Doesn’t that include a share for Chairman Gu?
Then we split with the company, which also goes to Chairman Gu, doesn’t it? Isn’t this pure exploitation at two levels?"
Sausage Pig seed to understand and instantly chid in: "Gosh, it seems logical! Chairman Gu is earning twice from . Isn’t that like the old capitalist way?"
Although everyone joked about Gu Bai, no one had any complaints against him.
Firstly, as a company with a type of streaming guild, Black Swan Entertainnt’s reputation is definitely impressive. In today’s streaming circle, there’s a saying: if one hasn’t joined Black Swan Entertainnt, they can’t be considered a top strear. Although this saying is sowhat exaggerated, it still shows Black Swan Entertainnt’s status in the streaming industry.
Secondly, Gu Bai is the company boss, and his generosity towards subordinate employees is well recognized. Naturally, he wouldn’t be stingy with this group of strears, providing them with ample operational funds and extensive exposure. Besides the streaming world, Black Swan Entertainnt’s strears are also frequent guests on entertainnt news in other sectors.
Listening to the conversation, Ruo Feng got slightly annoyed: "Are you guys excluding ?"
PDD and Ruo Feng, both being from the early batch of professional players, had a good rapport. PDD instantly replied: "Wind Team, really? Online folks say you like to ride on trends. Are you really trying to hop on the boss’s bandwagon now?"
Hearing PDD’s remark, Ruo Feng’s face darkened a bit, but he knew this whimsical Sausage Pig always spoke without malice, so he wasn’t angry. Instead, he continued: "This isn’t about riding the boss’s coattails. Let’s not ntion that I’m now a Panda strear, with Chairman Gu having joined as a shareholder, making him my boss. But beyond streaming, Chairman Gu is also sowhat my boss. Did you all forget which club WE, that slaughtered opponents in the Spring Split, now belongs to? Being an old WE player, I can claim that I live and breathe WE. So saying Chairman Gu is partly my boss shouldn’t be an exaggeration, right?"
With Ruo Feng’s explanation, the three recalled this insight.
Back in 2018, the LPL was dominated by RNG that year, but Gu Bai suddenly poached three top players from RNG, making it too abrupt for RNG to recruit new players, leaving them only to promote rookie players from within. However, 2018’s LPL was indeed monstrously competitive. Without UZI, Xiaoming, and mlxg, RNG might not have been at the bottom among 14 teams, but they didn’t fare well either, ranking tenth.
RNG’s fans had already recited their grievances towards Gu Bai in their hearts.
anwhile, reflecting on WE, every match felt like a grand celebration to its fans.
Mid-lane player Xiye, who had proved his prowess at the Asian Gas in a prior life, was undeniably a top mid-layer. When it ca to pure skill comparison, his record against Faker was eight wins and six losses. His strength wasn’t lacking.
