Chapter 77 A different approach
Bai Qiuwu did not discuss this action with Pu Xi.
As a result, the live broadcast platform was completely caught off guard.
The cell phone on the table was buzzing, as if someone was calling, but Bai Qiuwu didn't even look at it. She glanced at the current number of viewers on the screen.
760,000.
With this number of people, every minute means a huge amount of money, so the platform will not easily shut down her live broadcast unless they don’t want the money.
What's more, she had already said it, and it was too late to close it.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuwu curled his lips and continued to act first and report later: "Although this rule was only agreed upon yesterday, I don't have much credibility in everyone's eyes anyway, so I broke my promise."
"This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the platform. If you want to criticize me, just criticize me alone."
[Sister Bai is so generous! This is what it means to be a true visionary. Trust me, you'll definitely become a top star. Don't use those messy tricks. Just stay like this. I promise that as long as you don't change your style, I'll always be watching you!]
You've really taken a wide path. If you really had to choose two of these three, I'd definitely give up. This development is totally unacceptable. They both clearly need help, so why do you have to choose? It's not like I can't help.
[This development is really pleasing. If you said that only one person could be stuck, that would be very disgusting. In this situation, regardless of whether this is a script or not, I will definitely follow it!]
[This is so cool! I was just worried about who to choose, but now I don't have to choose. Regardless of whether you can help them realize their wishes or not, at least you spread their stories. For that alone, you're a good person!]
…
The first time, when Bai Qiuwu was live streaming, the screen was full of praise for her. There were very few discordant comments, and before Bai Qiuwu even said a word, these netizens had already responded to her.
Regardless of whether these people were sincere or not, at least at this moment, Bai Qiuwu was no longer the rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
She chatted with everyone for a few more sentences, especially answered a few questions from the three wishers, and then waited until the time came before slowly logging off.
As soon as I got offline and picked up my phone, I found that there were more than a dozen missed calls, most of which were from Pu Xi, and a few were from the executive director of the live broadcast website.
Just then, Pu Xi called again.
Since the live broadcast had already ended, she just picked it up.
"Bai Qiuwu! What are you doing?!"
Pu Xi was usually quite respectful to her, but at this moment he looked furious, and his tone was very angry and violent.
It was the first time that Bai Qiuwu saw this gentle boy so angry.
She thought about it and felt that what she did was indeed not kind, so she apologized: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive and didn't control my mouth. I didn't mean it."
Pu Xi was indeed furious, but once the other party apologized and was so nice, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
The main thing is, what can he say?
Of course he wanted to curse her boldly, but he only dared to curse her in his heart. You have to know that this person is a great immortal. What if he offended her and she was the villain behind his back?
Who would dare to offend the master of metaphysics for no reason?
But if you don't curse but are really angry, and think about not cursing but just saying a few words, and the other person apologizes directly and promptly, if you continue to hold on to the issue, it will seem very uncultured and petty.
What is his identity?
As the second largest shareholder of Starlight Group and the younger brother of the big boss behind the company, it is no exaggeration to say that half of the company belongs to him.
With his status, doesn't it seem very uncultured for him to care about someone else's "mistake"?
What, you said that wasn't a mistake?
How do you prove it? They've already said it was a careless mistake, and you're still fussing about it. Are you acting like a boss?
There's no way to reason about this.
Pu Xi was very depressed, but he could only bite the bullet and forgive: "It's okay, it can still be remedied. Let's forget about it this time. Just say that you were too soft-hearted and accidentally made an exception."
"Just continue to do it this way. If you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll issue an official announcement and fakely criticize you, saying you're not following the rules."
"Then you respond again, saying you know you were wrong, and then we can naturally return to the original mode, everything will be normal, and let this matter go."
Pu Xi tried hard to calm down his emotions and make his voice sound kinder.
He felt that the solution he proposed was the most perfect one at the moment. Bai Qiuwu didn't have to bear any responsibility, and he also gained a good reputation and got free benefits. The company was the only bad guy.
He felt that Bai Qiuwu had no reason to refuse.
But that was just what he felt.
After hearing this, Bai Qiuwu said very calmly: "No, I don't think this model is good, and I don't want to change it back."
Pu Xi: "As long as you agree, I'll arrange it now... Wait, what did you say?"
Pu Xi had said half of his words when he realized that Bai Qiuwu meant he didn't agree.
He was stunned for a moment, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat. He couldn't breathe and almost choked to death.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean you think this model is bad and you don't want to change it back? This model was tailor-made for you. Don't you know how much effort the company put into operating and promoting it?"
Bai Qiuwu: "I'm not sure, and I don't really want to know."
"Then what do you mean?" Pu Xi was also a little angry: "Didn't you say that you didn't mean it, it was just a momentary impulse?"
"I didn't mean to do it, but I did mean it." Bai Qiuwu spoke very seriously, his tone extremely sincere: "I don't like this model. As long as someone really needs me, I will help them fulfill their wishes."
"Are you discussing this with me?"
"No, I'm informing you."
Bai Qiuwu said the most irritating words in the gentlest tone, yet it didn't make people angry at all: "I can't control myself. I want to make a wish come true when I see one."
"If you asked me to hold it in, I certainly couldn't. So, in order to avoid this situation from happening again in the future and catching you off guard, why don't we make an agreement early on? I'll tell you in advance so you can be prepared."
"My point is, I definitely want to help people realize their wishes. As long as someone needs it, I'll agree. So forget about the limits or quotas."
The three light words "Forget it" left Pu Xi speechless and he didn't know what to say.
Bai Qiuwu's words were so natural and considerate that it made people want to say, "Thank you so much for considering me."
And her attitude is very clear. No matter what others say, she will do her own thing.
Pu Xi had met this kind of person before.
At that time, his approach was to just let go and let you do whatever you want. It had nothing to do with him whether you lived or died.
But Bai Qiuwu can't do that.
They spent a huge amount of money to sign Bai Qiuwu, and in order to increase her popularity, they spent an unknown amount of money on operating expenses alone.
Now they have finally gained fame, been exposed in a positive light, and started to make money. If they fail to handle this disagreement well and drive people away, then they will really lose everything.
This is a fact on the practical level, and there is also a very important factor, which is Bai Qiuwu's identity as a master.
No matter what others think, Pu Xi doesn't dare to offend her.
With such a series of factors involved, Pu Xi felt like he had no place to use his strength and no place to vent his anger.
Bai Qiuwu had no idea that he was irritating and was still giving thoughtful advice.
"Because I definitely won't compromise, why don't you just take a step back and let me do what I want?"
"But the plan I developed for you is definitely the most profitable!" Pu Xi said this a little weakly.
"Do you understand the difference in value between a limited edition and an unlimited edition item?"
After all, Pu Xi is still a businessman. He doesn't have that much sympathy in his eyes, and only money can move him.
He and Bai Qiuwu essentially have cognitive biases.
Bai Qiuwu also understood this. She could certainly continue to refuse to give in, and Pu Xi would definitely compromise in the end, but this would inevitably damage the relationship.
So, Bai Qiuwu thought of a compromise.
"How about this, let's change our thinking and stop using hunger marketing. Let's just do To Be Continued."
Pu Xi: "? What do you mean?"
"Why don't we follow those people who are live streaming, investigate them, and observe their state before their wishes are fulfilled, and what they look like when their wishes are fulfilled. I think a lot of people would like to see it."
Pu Xi: “?”
Bai Qiuwu also suddenly thought of this method. Her essential starting point was to bring greater benefits to Pu Xi. Money can make the world go round, and as long as the company has money, it will agree to let her control the direction of development.
Seeing that Pu Xi still didn't understand, Bai Qiuwu patiently explained, "We use live broadcasts to collect information about the past of those who made wishes, interview people around them about their opinions, and verify what the wishers themselves said."
"By showing everyone the before-and-after comparison of a wish's fulfillment, and how the wish was fulfilled, with live streaming, I think it will attract a lot of traffic."
After this explanation, Pu Xi finally understood what Bai Qiuwu meant.
Pu Xi’s previous approach was to limit the number of contestants and have everyone vote, creating the regret that there would always be someone who was not chosen, and then constantly whet the audience’s appetite through this regret.
If things continue like this, they will definitely have a lot of audience, but it's a little unpopular and may even be called cold-blooded.
What Bai Qiuwu proposed, however, was to whet everyone's appetite by arousing people's curiosity.
People are also curious about whether the past of those who come to make a wish is as miserable as they say, and they are also curious about how making a wish can change their lives.
It's like a big TV series. There will be a steady stream of people watching until the finale.
In this way, there is no need to attract attention by limiting the number of stories. Instead, you can make as many wishes as possible, with more stories than the last, so that different audiences can be satisfied.
Two completely different approaches, but both seem feasible.
Pu Xi couldn't help but hesitate. His vision was better than Bai Qiuwu's, but this plan also needed to be carefully considered to know whether it was feasible.
But before he could figure it out, Bai Qiuwu spoke again.
"Believe me, I will definitely make money, better than your method."
There was clearly no guarantee, and she didn't even provide concrete evidence of making money, but she spoke so confidently that Pu Xi couldn't help but start to believe her.
And he quickly figured it out. This was probably the only feasible way at the moment. After all, Bai Qiuwu wouldn't listen to him.
With a heavy sigh, Pu Xi finally stopped worrying and started asking specific questions: "Then the homes of these wishers are all in different directions, how are you going to live broadcast?"
"That's easy. Is there any place in China that can't be reached by plane in a day? The company should remember to reimburse your travel expenses, dear."
Pu Xi: "...Don't you find it troublesome?"
"It's okay. I'm free anyway, so I might as well take a look around."
Now that things have come to this, Pu Xi feels that it would be a bit ungrateful if he doesn't agree.
He could only helplessly say, "Well, this should be a good idea. I'll use a slogan like 'See the scenery everywhere and comment on the flavors of life' to promote it. It should be popular enough."
"You made a wise decision." Bai Qiuwu praised sincerely: "You deserve to make money."
Pu Xi was speechless: "Thank you, then when do you want me to start cooperating with you?"
"Let's do it tomorrow." Bai Qiuwu glanced at the time. "It starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow, when most workers have finished their first busy period and are starting to slack off. The end time depends on the situation."
"The first person to be observed is the one in our company. We are close to him, so I can also see his reaction."
Pu Xi: "Okay."
The two of them made the deal, and Pu Xi acted very quickly, issuing an announcement that very evening.
He first apologized to Bai Qiuwu for breaking the rules. What he meant was that their company couldn't bear to see people in need go without help. They all meant well and hoped that everyone would understand.
Then, while apologizing, he also mentioned the new rules.
Most people can still understand, after all, it is a change that everyone wants. As for the nagging and complaining of a small number of people, that can be completely ignored.
Many people were curious about this new rule, and there were all kinds of comments under the announcement.
First floor: How can you actually play like this? This is great, you can get to know those people up close and personal, savoring the flavors of life. College students love watching this.
2nd Floor: Very good, you guys have a big vision. I give you full marks for this wave of rule changes. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, right? See you there, okay? I have to watch it even when I'm slacking off at work!
Floor 3: I also think that this new rule is much better than the old one. I am already looking forward to tomorrow’s live broadcast. This method is more suitable for contemporary young people to watch. The road has become wider, which is great!
…
Although the live broadcast has not started yet, judging from the response to this announcement, it is still quite good.
At least quite a few people are already looking forward to the live broadcast.
Bai Qiuwu was also looking forward to it.
Because she was also very curious about how those wishes could be fulfilled.
