Left the property.
Zhao Xukun and Su Zixuan went to Yunjin Chinese Restaurant.
At this time, the outside of the restaurant was already bustling with activity, and there was basically no place to park the car. The car guards outside the restaurant were almost overwhelmed. Fortunately, Su Zixuan had sharp eyes and good driving skills, and she found a relatively narrow parking space and backed the car into the garage.
After getting out of the car, the two were about to walk into the restaurant.
Coincidentally, President Yang of the company drove in in a BMW. Seeing the boss in front, President Yang looked at the road ahead while waving and greeting Zhao Xukun.
Finally, President Yang parked the car.
“Hello, boss!”
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Xukun nodded to several employees in the company.
"Where are the others?"
Seeing that only President Yang came with three people, Zhao Xukun asked.
"Oh, Boss, the traffic is really congested today. General Manager Shen, Deputy Manager Qiu, Director Li, and the others are still behind."
President Yang explained.
"Okay then, let's go in first!"
Zhao Xukun raised his eyebrows and said.
Zhao Xukun reserved a private room in advance, and under the guidance of the waiter, the six of them went to the fourth floor of the restaurant.
Enter the private room.
They ordered several appetizers. The last time Zhao Xukun and President Guo came to this Chinese restaurant, they had tried their Maozi, which was quite good. Zhao Xukun also ordered a bottle of Maozi.
"Mr. Zhao, smoke!"
President Yang took out a pack of soft cigarettes from his trouser pocket, handed it to Zhao Xukun, and lit it for him personally.
While waiting for others to arrive, President Yang first introduced to Zhao Xukun several young men who had just joined the R&D department.
All of them are young people who graduated from top universities at home and abroad. They are bald at such a young age. They are worthy of being programmers. Being bald means they are strong.
After listening to the three of them’s self-introductions and work experiences, General Manager Shen and Deputy Manager Qiu soon came over with the remaining colleagues from the R&D department.
President Yang personally went to the restaurant to pick them up.
Everyone arrived and took their seats in order. The dishes were served one after another and the wine was drunk one after another.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the private room became better and better.
"Hey, Lao Yang, I've roughly read the email you sent me last night."
"What do you think about the later launch?"
Zhao Xukun put down his chopsticks, looked at Yang Deyun and asked.
"Mr. Zhao, I think based on the data from the past few days and the plan you gave me previously, I think we should continue with the same operation as in the past few days."
"The effect of receiving red envelopes is extremely good by inviting new users to download and register by watching the live broadcast for a certain length of time."
"We don't even need to promote it. In just seven days, Mammoth TV has had over 10 million downloads. That's an average of 2 million new users downloading our software every day. Furthermore, the benefits we've invested in the past few days are around 10 million per day, and those benefits have already been claimed by users long before. The Mammoth TV backend shows that these 10 million users watch live broadcasts for an average of three to four hours per day, which is no less than the average viewing time on the Douyu platform."
"Also, more than 24.8% of users are willing to top up their accounts to give gifts to the anchors. Some even convert the red envelopes they receive into gift coins and use them to give gifts to our company's anchors."
"According to today's statistics, the revenue for the past seven days is around 8 million. Although most of this is from users using software rewards, it can stabilize their hearts in the early stages. Even if there is no money to receive later, they will likely continue to top up and give gifts to the streamer."
"As for us, this is a small-scale test. I'm thinking that if the daily investment reaches 30 million, 50 million, 80 million, or even 100 million, the number of downloaders should be much higher than the current number."
"If we can maintain a user base of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, based on the current ratio of people willing to spend gifts to top-ups, the company can generate millions in additional revenue every day."
"But the most important issue right now is funding."
"The initial investment is quite large, but with this development trend, the future revenue is quite promising."
Yang Deyun spoke seriously, he had already memorized these data in his mind.
"Well, keep talking!"
Zhao Xukun signaled Yang Deyun to continue speaking about his thoughts and opinions.
"Mr. Zhao, but we also have to face a huge problem."
"According to our R&D department's calculations, once Mammoth TV officially launches, with the massive investment, its user base will undoubtedly grow. There's an unwritten rule in China right now: if the other major live streaming companies—Douyu, Tiger Teeth, Quanming, Maomao TV, and other companies that were early to the live streaming software industry—see that our company has attracted a large user base, they'll likely target us."
"After all, the domestic market is so small. If we take a bite out of their pie, we're just a small company. How can we compete with these big-name live streaming companies?"
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that by then, all our efforts will be in vain."
Yang Deyun spoke out all his worries.
Yang Deyun indeed thought long-term. Monopoly had already appeared in China in the early years. The most famous one was the Big Goose Factory. Capital monopoly and strangulation would eventually kill new small businesses in the cradle. If you want to break out of this environment, you must have strong capital. Only when capital meets even larger capital will it not be strangled in the cradle.
To put it bluntly, we need to spend more money to fight against the stranglehold of external capital.
"Old Yang, you're right. I've been thinking about this question recently."
"So, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao Xukun asked.
"Uh, Mr. Zhao, if our Mammoth TV wants to survive, we either need a lot of capital to compete with the other major domestic software companies, or we need to establish an alliance and find a big boss to back us up in order to maintain our position."
"But I think the first one is quite difficult to achieve, while the second one has a greater chance of being achieved."
Zhao Xukun nodded.
"Old Yang, but it's actually quite simple to crack this."
This is not a big problem for Zhao Xukun. Now he has a system, he was reborn in 2016, and he has an extremely wealthy family. Why would he be afraid of being strangled by domestic capital?
