Jiang Siming was in battle, unaware that Zhao Xuan was also fighting for him. At this mont, in the conference room of Douyu Corporation, all the shareholders were present. As the CEO, Zhao Xuan sat at the head of the conference table, while the shareholders below looked at her with various expressions, but most chose to remain silent.
"The agenda for today’s eting has only one point: I demand that the platform clears out these talent agencies. These agencies, relying on contracts with our platform, act recklessly, manipulate the pace, and arbitrarily support their affiliated strears. I believe you all should know about this, and I have ntioned it many tis over the past few years. Today, I will say it again," Zhao Xuan said with a serious face.
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the shareholders below spoke up.
"We are aware of this issue, and it is indeed excessive, but a complete cleanup is too much. A critique or a warning would suffice."
"Right, why not target a single agency for a lesson? That might make General Manager Zhao feel better."
"Although these talent agencies have many problems, they bring in significant profits for our platform."
...
Hearing their words, Zhao Xuan’s face turned cold instantly.
"I am not consulting with you. As the CEO and a shareholder of Douyu Company, I now strictly order the cleanup of all talent agencies with horrible behavior, and the cessation of selling fish wings in large quantities at low prices. In the future, when any talent agency buys fish wings, we can offer at most a 10% discount."
A 10% discount?
"This is out of the question. Who would buy at a 10% discount?"
"Indeed, these talent agencies always place orders worth millions or tens of millions, taking advantage of our discounts of 20% to 30%. If it’s a 10% discount, they definitely won’t agree."
"General Manager Zhao, are you trying to cut off the revenue of our own company?"
"Currently, 40% of Douyu’s profits co from these talent agencies. General Manager Zhao, you need to think carefully and not act out of emotion."
None of them agreed; they all opposed it, while those who remained silent chose to stay neutral and observe. Slap! Zhao Xuan slamd the table and stood up, saying, "They indeed offer a substantial profit, but this is just like selling fake goods on Taobao. The profit from fake goods is significant, but you’ve seen the consequences. No one who wants to buy genuine goods would trust Taobao and would all go to JD and other websites. It’s the sa principle here."
"I won’t say much. I am the company’s CEO and also own 8% of Douyu’s shares. Although my shares are not many, I at least have a say. I have made my decision. If you want to oppose, just join forces to have
removed!"
Zhao Xuan’s attitude was much stronger than in previous years, and she was completely unyielding and unwilling to negotiate. The shareholders were at a loss for a mont and could only temporarily deliberate.
In the end, they gave Zhao Xuan a response: clearing out the brokerage companies was fine, but it had to wait until after the Fan Festival.
Tomorrow was the Fan Festival, and if the brokerage companies were cleared out now, Douyu would suffer a significant loss. After all, many brokerage companies had already signed contracts to buy fish fins from them. Breaching these contracts would result in lawsuits that could bankrupt them. Therefore, they agreed that the cleanup could only proceed after this Fan Festival.
Although Zhao Xuan was still a bit unwilling, she had no other options. She understood the company’s difficulties and could only nod in agreent. With this, the matter ca to a temporary conclusion.
"Xiao Yu, buy
ten million fish fins at the lowest discount," Zhao Xuan instructed her secretary.
"Ten million fish fins? President Zhao, are you planning to?"
"If they can brush fish fins, why can’t I? Just do it. Here is a check for ten million, go and handle it."
With a wave of her hand, Zhao Xuan showed her generosity. She was worried that Jiang Siming would suffer a loss during the Fan Festival. As the woman behind Jiang Siming, she didn’t want him to be bullied by those brokerage companies. With the lowest contract rate and internal pricing, Zhao Xuan’s ten million bought three hundred million worth of fish fins for the company!
Other brokerage companies could buy at most fifty to sixty million fish fins with ten million, but Zhao Xuan managed to secure three hundred million. At this mont, Zhao Xuan just wanted to say to those strears who rely on their agency companies: You brush a million, I’ll brush ten million; you brush ten million, I’ll brush a hundred million! Jiang Siming was completely unaware of this, still buried in the map of PUBG, unaware that his woman was preparing to ’support him financially’...
"Picked up 1 red fragnt of [Cantonese Proficiency] (1/1), fragnt count is full, can be used directly."
"Picked up 1 gold fragnt of [Shanghai Xujiahui Gucci Flagship Store] (2/3), fragnt count is not full, cannot be used temporarily."
Cantonese Proficiency? Jiang Siming didn’t expect there would be a dialect like Cantonese Proficiency, but since it only requires one fragnt, it’s quite a good deal. It would be very convenient for traveling to Guangdong or Hong Kong in the future, or for singing Cantonese songs. After picking up the fragnt, the bounty for the Butcher was already gone, and each ga only allowed ten kills. Jiang Siming was quite satisfied with the over four million he had earned. The IG player who was blown down was wearing a brand new Level 3 armor, while Jiang Siming’s was almost worn out, just in ti for a replacent.
He refilled his health and injected a ’happiness needle,’ which was adrenaline. There were too many drinks; if Jiang Siming picked them all up, he could fill three or four Level 3 backpacks. Jiang Siming never really cared much about drinks, so he only carried two painkillers and two Cokes. If it were a regular player, they would definitely stuff a dozen or more drinks, as if they feared running out of water (crying laughter). With his health fully restored, Jiang Siming propped up the motorcycle, straddled it, and revved the throttle, heading towards the airport bridge.
The reason he wasn’t in a hurry to cross the bridge was that his comrades were guarding the mountain top on the other side of the bridge. Just now, a squad wanted to block the bridge, but after being shot a few tis by Wei Shen and his team on the mountain, they imdiately ran away, even giving up one of their team mbers in the process.
"You’ve finally co back, we’ve been guarding the bridge for you for half a day." Wei Shen said, trying to take credit.
"Alright, thank you, big bro." Jiang Siming went along with his words.
"Haha, no need, no need, just calling
big bro already makes
very satisfied." Wei Shen laughed heartily. Currently, their team’s score has already reached 17 points. Even if they don’t kill anyone from now on, as long as they rank a bit higher, the score for this round will definitely be within the top three. The safe zone has already moved to the third wave, and Jiang Siming still doesn’t plan to join Wei Shen and his team on the mountaintop.
Instead, he chooses to block the bridge. Unfortunately, the teams now are all very cunning and don’t walk on the bridge at all. Most of them are looking for boats. Jiang Siming waited until the fourth wave of the safe zone, but still didn’t see anyone. When the fifth wave of the safe zone was announced, Wei Shen’s mountaintop was no longer a safe area. The safe zone appeared behind the airport on the cliff. There are currently 9 teams and 47 people left in the ga. All the top-tier squads are still in play, and Team 17 and OMG are even fully staffed.
