Chapter 192 I Hope You Don’t Have Regrets
Jiang Banxia has been paying attention to Li Yang's affairs, and she has been thinking of ways to break the impasse.
And it just so happened that Li Yang had the same idea.
But Li Yang is not in a hurry, he wants to wait a little longer.
When the Cen family started to cause trouble for him, he knew what the outcome would be.
At first, they were just finding faults within the rules, but later they became direct opponents.
So Li Yang put forward the idea of making cars, even though the timing was not yet ripe.
He knew that the Cen family would definitely follow, and among the new car companies at this time, the only one qualified to compete with him was Boss Jia.
It's just that he has no channels and can only wait passively for information.
When he saw Boss Jia acquire land in Beijing last month, he knew that the Cen family had entered the game.
The Cen family may not have spent a lot of money, but they definitely spent resources. To the Cen family, money and resources are the same.
Add to that the chest-hair TV and the ofo yellow bikes, and it’s already a trifecta of quality.
Li Yang was not sure whether the Cen family dared to do so, but that was the fact, the Cen family wanted to get rid of him in all aspects.
As for the reason...it is most likely related to Bai Jingxuan.
Because Bai Jingxuan has the power to threaten their position.
If they were just rich, they wouldn't do this.
From other people's perspective, except for the ofo investment which is somewhat gambling in nature, the other two investments are all of high quality.
There is no need to talk about Boss Jia. Boss Wang, the richest man in real estate today, is very optimistic about him. Boss Ma of Alibaba has even publicly praised him on many occasions. Now he is being sought after by the entire Internet, and no one will feel like they are losing out if they can invest in him.
Xiongmao TV had a great start, and with such a powerful background, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
They are all very high-quality investment projects.
Only ofo has the biggest problem.
But Li Yang knew that this investment could bring them more than ten times the return.
You just have to get off at the right opportunity. If you don’t get off, you will still lose everything.
Now that he knows that Yuancheng Capital belongs to the Cen family, he will definitely not let the Cen family get away easily.
He began to live here with Jiang Banxia.
It's just that the identity has changed.
After school every day, he would rush to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and then cook for Jiang Banxia.
Until Xiangnu sent a message.
"Mr. Li, can you please do a live broadcast? Our own platform is about to go bankrupt... We were recently fined 6 million."
Li Yang asked: "I looked at the company's data. Isn't the traffic increasing all the time?"
"It is increasing, but the traffic is all marginal. The traffic of serious anchors on the platform is getting less and less. There is no soil for the birth of high-quality content. We have been rejected when we wanted to renew the contracts of many anchors."
"Find a lawsuit! Make those anchors who changed jobs pay for it!"
Xiang Nu: "It is true that the lawsuit can be won, but the other party's legal department is not a pushover. It is easy to delay it for half a year, and when it comes to enforcement, it will be no problem to delay it for another half a year. A year will pass by, and by then, the platform may be ruined. There are a lot of female anchors on our platform now, and most of the traffic is concentrated on them..."
"Female anchors are not good? Well, I will do live broadcasts when I have nothing to do. At the same time, I will introduce other funds to the platform. You must protect our female anchors. Those who are beautiful and talented, sign a ten-year package with me!"
Xiangnu: “???”
Those female anchors don’t have much money. Even though they are posing and flirting, their fans’ spending power is actually very limited.
There are 800 people in the live broadcast room, but they can’t even collect 500 yuan worth of gifts in a day.
Such an anchor still needs to sign a long-term contract? The cost of signing a long-term contract is too high. Even if the minimum salary is only 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per month, how much is it for ten years?
If we keep skirting the line like this all day long, maybe one day the controls will be stricter and the entire platform will have to be rectified.
It's like a crazy test on the brink of death.
Li Yang’s approach is too wild!
He even went out of his way to buy hot searches for content that skirted the line between promotional platforms online. He was summoned for a talk and fined, but he didn't care at all.
…
In Li Yang's opinion, a platform that does not cross the line has no future. If it does not cross the line when the traffic is the highest, does it have to wait until it is half dead before crossing the line?
LSP is the most productive force.
Besides, live streaming is destined to be a roller coaster in the next two years, and all platforms will suffer heavy losses. If the platforms don’t find a way to shift traffic to mobile devices, the money they spend will be wasted.
Now is the time for mobile terminals to gain momentum, and the future of PC terminals will basically be dead.
The next day, he moved all his computers at school to Jiang Banxia's place, and after dinner that night, he started the live broadcast.
There was no advance warm-up, but the moment he started the live broadcast, countless fans were still telling others.
There is no other reason, just because he is God!
At least in the eyes of LPL players, he is the only God!
Last year, they emerged as a dark horse and won the first real championship for LPL.
And after he left, what happened to the entire LPL this year?
I can't even fight anymore!
After all, Li Yang's gaming thinking is quite advanced, and the Korean side has been studying it for a whole year and has already studied it thoroughly, and their tactics have been sublimated.
What about LPL? Research it!
Let’s figure out how to order takeout!
As for the players? Of course they want to take a vacation as soon as possible. How can they take over other people's girlfriends if they don't take a vacation? The girlfriend's transfer period is what they care about most.
Anyway, just playing around with memes and improving the live broadcast effect, there are plenty of people willing to pay for it, so who cares about the so-called results?
This year's World Championship has just ended, and Li Yang receives a lot of messages every day.
"Dad Yang, please come back!"
This year, LPL had three teams participating in the World Championship. As a result, two of them were eliminated when they advanced from the top 32 to the top 16, and the other one was eliminated when they advanced from the top 16 to the quarterfinals.
They didn't even make it to the quarterfinals, which shows how poor their tactical execution was.
The South Korean team was slaughtered, and three of the final four teams were from South Korea!
As soon as Li Yang started the live broadcast, people immediately sent him gifts, including rockets worth 500 yuan. There was rarely a break from the start to the end of the broadcast.
One guy even gave a reward of more than 300,000 yuan.
Finally, he said on the public screen: "Li Yang, if you come back to play, I will give you a reward of 10 million!"
After seeing this, Li Yang replied, "Thank you for the reward. As for my return to the game, forget it. Regardless of my own competitive ability, everyone should be able to see the improvement of the Korean team. They completely understood my gaming thinking last year. Even if I play, I will die! Unless there are five of me! So I can only say sorry to everyone. Brothers who rewarded today, if you feel that you have lost money, please contact the platform and ask the platform to take the money back. But this is only this time. If you reward me again in the future, I will accept it!"
Today was a clarification for Li Yang. Many people gave him gifts just to help him make a comeback.
If the customer is not satisfied, a refund is justified.
But after the clarification, if there is still a reward, he can only accept it with a smile.
Just at this moment, Jiang Banxia walked in in pajamas. When Jiang Banxia appeared in front of the camera, the audience was shocked.
"Fuck, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia are living together?"
"Damn it, no wonder he doesn't want to play in the game anymore. Who would want to earn that little bit of money after hugging a rich woman like this?"
"I'm so convinced. I thought it was all hype before, but now it's all hyped up?"
"Brothers, who is this woman?"
"Damn, where's the new guy from?"
"Let me give you some basic information. This beauty is Yang Ge's childhood sweetheart. She is a top-tier wealthy woman who made 6 billion in the bull market from last year to the first half of this year! And now her Wanliu Capital has managed funds of 20 billion. According to the management fee, Wanliu Capital's profit this year will exceed 500 million. This does not include the principal income she brought with her. Even if we calculate it based on the lowest 500 million, with only a 20 times PE, the market value of Wanliu Capital will reach 10 billion! In short, the beauty in front of you is a top-tier wealthy woman worth more than 10 billion!"
Net worth and cash are indeed not the same concept.
However, after Jiang Banxia came over and saw the message, she did not refute it.
Because even in terms of cash, she is not far from 10 billion.
The 4 billion yuan invested in Wanliu Capital has consumed all the gains in the past two months and is now close to 6 billion yuan.
Adding the profits from Wanliu Capital and the remaining cash in her hands, it would be at least 8 billion, if not 10 billion.
Facing the camera, Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "Hello everyone, thank you for your support for Willow Capital."
"Rich woman, I spent all my betrothal gifts on it."
"I regret it now. I only had 100,000 yuan at the beginning. If I had known that I would lose everything, I would have invested 1 million. The stock price has increased by nearly 40 points in the past two months."
"Damn it, I can't tell whether I should feel sorry for you or be jealous of you! How the hell are you guys so rich!"
"Shit, you guys invested it all? Why didn't anyone tell me about this? I just took a look, and that fund is going crazy!"
"Has it gone crazy? It's less than 40 points, right?"
"How can you be so arrogant? It's less than 40 points? The market has fallen by 17% in the past two months. All funds in the country have fallen by an average of 23%. The only fund that has risen by more than 30% is Wanliu Capital!"
…
Jiang Banxia showed her face in the live broadcast room, and the next day, Wanliu Capital’s subscription funds exceeded 300 million.
This is how popular Li Yang is on the Internet.
Li Yang’s reputation in the e-sports circle is actually not very good. He doesn’t have many friends in the circle, including his former teammates.
Only Edward Zhu would chat with Li Yang when he had nothing to do, hoping that Li Yang would make a comeback and that Li Yang could set any price.
And what he said in the live broadcast room yesterday was secretly disdain for the LPL players, which offended those people again.
But Li Yang didn't care.
Although e-sports is a small industry, in China, no matter how niche the industry is, it will not be bad.
Not to mention that the e-sports industry only has a small number of practitioners, but the viewing appeal is not a small one, and the service could have been better.
Every industry should strive to improve itself, otherwise the country will not be able to support such a strong economy.
The current eSports Association is garbage. It is run by people who have never been involved in eSports.
Even the next few years were garbage, and no decent rules and regulations emerged.
Time quickly came to November 25, 2015.
On this Saturday, Li Yang was chatting with a few people at the Peking University Entrepreneurship Center.
One of them is a senior student at Tsinghua University named Huang Jing.
Huang Jing is a homeboy who likes to play games on weekdays. He naturally has an affinity for gaming champions like Li Yang.
At this time, he was communicating some data with Li Yang.
Huang Jing looked at a piece of paper in front of him and asked, "Junior, doesn't the mechanism of this game make it less fun to play? It's just landing, getting resources, and fighting. Although it is very competitive, a game must be equipped with a variety of gameplay to retain enough audiences, because most players don't play games for competitiveness."
Li Yang asked, "What do you think, senior?"
Huang Jing had already been confident about this, after all, this was not the first time he had communicated with Li Yang.
When they have nothing to do, the two of them would chat about game mechanics and summarize the fun and competitiveness of those mechanisms, because Huang Jing was planning to set up his own game studio to develop games.
Li Yang is his angel investor.
He immediately pulled out the data and said, "I think this poison circle mechanism can be modified. For example, the health loss value of the poison circle can be slowed down, so that players can find ways to resist the poison. Most people who like to play games actually have a farming mentality. The farming mentality is prevalent in the genes of the world, especially the Chinese, who have a stronger mentality."
Li Yang asked: "Then have you ever thought that if everyone plays like this, the competitiveness of this game will be reduced to zero. Without competitiveness, it is equivalent to killing the soul of this game."
Huang Jing immediately explained: "This can also be solved. For example, you must be within a certain range of the poison circle to maintain a healthy blood loss value. If you exceed this range, the blood loss will increase. At the same time, you can control the blood pack refresh rate of the map to ensure that there will not be too many blood packs."
"Oh... that's ok..."
Huang Jing smiled and said, "This game mechanism was thought up by my junior. Why don't you name this game? I will start setting up a studio right away."
“Why not just call it PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds?”
"good!"
…
Li Yang invested two million in Huang Jing.
Of course, two million is no problem for making some simple games, but for something like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, 20 million might not be enough.
Map modeling is a huge project.
The budget will definitely be over 100 million, but we have only just begun. Anyway, he owns 70% of the shares of this studio and has absolute control.
The initial two million is only enough for Huang Jing to build the framework. As long as Huang Jing can do it well, he will definitely continue to add funds, and of course, the shares in his hands will definitely increase.
In the early stage, he only took 70% just to give Huang Jing some encouragement. In the later stage, he will definitely hold more than 90% of the shares.
Many topics at Peking University and National Tsinghua University are of great investment value.
Not to mention the "photolithography factory" that will be extremely popular in a few years, even smart driving, which has very high application value, has related topics in both schools, and he happens to be an old hand in artificial intelligence algorithms.
There is just no suitable opportunity to join in now.
He has now contacted a group of students who are playing with algorithms and are working on a short video push algorithm.
The essence of the algorithm is actually labeling.
If a user spends a lot of time watching videos of beautiful girls, the system will immediately label him as an LSP and push more relevant content to him later.
Until he gets tired of it and spends less and less time watching videos of beautiful girls, this label will be removed from the first place and placed at the back.
Algorithms are no different from life. They both involve labeling over and over again and changing labels all the time.
Li Yang asked Xiangnu to sign a beautiful anchor mainly to provide content for the short video platform.
Although 4G network has existed since 2011, the current traffic costs are still too high.
Only next year, when mobile devices become the main battlefield of the Internet, will traffic costs come down.
At the same time, WIFI is becoming popular across the country, and any small restaurant will have a sign on the wall saying "WIFI is available in this restaurant", which gives short videos a breeding ground for survival.
Currently, short videos have little room for survival, and the competition for Internet traffic is mostly on the PC side.
The PC side is bound to be subject to hardware limitations, and not many people have computers with them at all times.
Playing mobile games now will be laughed at...
But those PC old diehards will suddenly find themselves becoming veterans of the Qing Dynasty in the next few years.
How much traffic does the PC have? Mobile traffic is everywhere in the country!
MoYu now has tens of millions of registered users, and its peak daily traffic is only a few million, but it is already a big player and can be said to be thriving.
However, a few years later, although Youku had more than 200 million registered users and its daily peak traffic was close to 10 million, it was labeled as declining and its stock price fell to such a low that even its own mother could not recognize it.
Mobile traffic will overwhelm PC traffic so much that even its mother won’t recognize it.
The key is to deploy mobile traffic.
Mobile traffic cannot be separated from the support of powerful algorithms.
Otherwise, the content that individuals can watch is quite limited.
After spending a day at Peking University, Li Yang came back to cook, and after dinner he started the live broadcast.
Jiang Banxia brought a small stool and sat next to Li Yang, eating melon seeds and fruits while watching Li Yang play games.
From time to time, he would ask, "Can I try it out?"
Li Yang responded with one word every time: "Fuck!"
Then, Jiang Banxia handed over a piece of fruit.
Everyone in the live broadcast room could see that Jiang Banxia had taken a bite.
It’s just that Li Yang was so focused on playing games that he didn’t notice.
Every time Jiang Banxia succeeds, she smiles happily.
She is actually just trying to attract traffic.
Because as long as she stays in the live broadcast room, the company's subscription funds will definitely exceed 100 million the next day.
Li Yang has far more fans than what is revealed on the surface.
Even though his Weibo followers have gradually increased to more than 7 million, when he broadcasts live every day, there are more than 1 million fans in his live broadcast room.
This is an extremely horrific amount of exposure.
It can also be seen from the backstage that after each of Li Yang’s live broadcasts, the number of viewers exceeds eight million.
I don’t know how much promotion fees Wanliu Capital has saved.
"Get out of the way, man in front of the camera! We want to watch a rich woman play games!"
Suddenly the same remarks began to flood the screen.
Li Yang turned around to look at Jiang Banxia and asked, "Did you hire a navy?"
Jiang Banxia retorted: "What kind of water army is this? This is what the people want! Come and let me play a game! If I lose, I won't mention it again!"
"Bullshit! How can you lose if you're on the field? Give each opponent tens of thousands of dollars, and they'll line up to give you kills."
"No, no, I don't think so."
"What do you think?"
"I want to give hundreds of thousands to everyone..."
After Jiang Banxia finished speaking, he immediately said to the live broadcast room: "Hurry up and drive this anchor down, let me go up, I will give everyone a million red envelopes for each game..."
Li Yang had no choice but to stand up and make room for Jiang Banxia.
Jiang Banxia did not break his promise and gave out a red envelope of one million on the spot.
A total of two hundred people will be drawn, and each person will receive 5,000 yuan. You only need to send a barrage to participate in the lottery.
In other words, it’s free to draw.
More than one million people instantly flocked to Li Yang's live broadcast room, and the number is still increasing.
After Jiang Banxia finished a game, there were already 8 million people watching the live broadcast room, a level that no other live broadcast room on the entire Internet has ever reached.
The next day, Wanliu Capital's subscription funds reached 1.2 billion!
Li Yang witnessed with his own eyes that the scale of Wanliu Capital grew from 10 billion to the current 28 billion in just over three months.
On December 5, the scale of Wanliu Capital officially exceeded 30 billion.
After Jiang Banxia live streamed a game, Li Yang closed the live stream, turned around and asked, "We've already broken 30 billion today. Are you so eager to reach the 50 billion goal?"
According to the agreement, the goal of 50 billion per year now seems to be almost impossible to achieve.
Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "You never know. If the net value starts to lose value, many people will want to redeem it."
"Tell the truth."
Jiang Banxia said seriously: "None of us can control whether we win or lose, but if you lose, I hope you won't have any regrets."
