Chapter 111 Stereotypes (4000 words)
Now announced...
Announcing the best employee award at a hot pot restaurant?
Ruan Miner's hand holding the food was suspended in mid-air and she didn't react for a moment.
Mr. Yang, have you always been so careless in selecting the best employees? Don't you think twice? "Ah, Mr. Yang, I don't think I was the best employee last month?" Ruan Min'er thought for a moment and reminded him a little embarrassedly, "Brother Huang and Sister Gao both earn a little more than me."
Although Ruan Min'er's fan base is increasing rapidly, she never shows her face, and the poor guys who play games are more or less inferior to the rich guys in the living area, so her income is not outstanding among the current anchors.
That is to say, I recently took on a peripheral advertisement and put it in the live broadcast room, which made the income look better.
Isn’t it a bit too hasty to directly select the best employee in a hot pot restaurant?
"The best employee, as the name suggests, is the best, not the one who makes the most money." Yang Ruoqian said without hesitation, "If we only judge who is the best based on how much money they make, then we are putting the cart before the horse."
Chang Zhiqing couldn't help but nod and said, "If we only look at how much money is earned in a month or a period of time, then the company's employees will inevitably be short-sighted, and some very potential talents and projects will be buried."
Yang Ruoqian said seriously and solemnly: "Moreover, you have won a city-level honor for the company. Although there is no bonus, it is very meaningful. So the best employee this time must be you. It must be you."
It must be...
The best employee is clearly an honor, and clearly represents an opportunity for countless people to realize their dreams. But why does Mr. Yang sound as if he can't wait to become the best employee? "Then..."
Just when Ruan Min'er was about to say that it was disrespectful to refuse, the screen of her mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up.
"Hiss, it's my dad." Ruan Min'er swallowed her saliva, "I, I want to answer the phone first?"
"Answer it." Yang Ruoqian was still very reasonable in this regard.
Ruan Min'er was not very old, and she traveled back and forth between Pengcheng and Jinhai by herself. She had never told her colleagues about the situation of her parents at home.
This sudden call must be something very important.
Ruan Miner nodded, pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear: "Hello..."
"You still know how to answer the phone? You still know you have a father?!"
Although the speakerphone was not on, a man's roaring voice still reached Yang Ruoqian's ears from the other end of the phone.
You can imagine how angry the person on the other end of the phone was.
"Dad, I..." Ruan Min'er looked at the two leaders embarrassedly and spoke in a much lower voice.
"Have you had enough of being out there? Huh? You haven't called home or sent me a message in such a long time? You want to make trouble?" The roar interrupted Ruan Min'er savagely, "You are idle all day long, how do you get money to eat?"
"I……"
"Come back quickly, do you hear me? Do you know how worried your mother is about you? Huh? You left by yourself without saying a word, do you have any money? With your education, can you find a good job?"
Ruan Miner, who was interrupted repeatedly, finally caught the opportunity when her father was talking and said quickly: "I found a job, it's very stable!"
"What kind of good job can you find? You've learned to lie after running away, right?!" Father Ruan's tone was still angry.
In the eyes of the older generation, playing games and live streaming are all not doing their job properly.
The best job is to pass the exam and become a teacher, doctor or lawyer. The next best job is to work as a white-collar worker in the most stable company, such as a bank.
The next level is to be like Ruan’s father, start a small business at home and be your own boss.
For a girl like Ruan Min'er who plays games every day, the best she can do is to find a job as a network administrator in an Internet cafe. What future does it have for her to stay up late every day and sit in front of a computer every day? "I really found a job... I have saved a lot of money now." Ruan Min'er felt a little aggrieved.
She had just been named the best employee by the company, so how could it not be a good job? The boss and the company had such a good atmosphere, the benefits and salary were top-notch, and even the work arrangements after her live broadcast career were in place...
"You spend money lavishly at home, but can you save money outside?" Although Father Ruan didn't quite believe his internet-addicted daughter, his reason told him that his daughter did find a job, otherwise how could she survive without any income during this period of no news? "Come back soon, and I'll teach you how to run a business."
Ruan Min'er breathed a sigh of relief - this was why she didn't want to contact her family for such a long time.
The older generation sometimes has good intentions, but they are also too stubborn and always want to impose their kindness on the younger generation.
"Dad, I can't come back... I have to do a live broadcast and prepare for the next game, and I have to find teammates, so I don't have time."
"You're still live streaming and competing. You're just an incorrigible kid!" Father Ruan's voice was shaking with anger. "Do you know that the kid from the Ding family next door was hired by a high-tech company and now makes 10,000 yuan a month? How much can you make?"
Ten thousand yuan?
I can earn thirty times more than him...
But Ruan Min'er didn't want to tell his father this for the time being.
Prejudice is secondary. After all, in the face of absolute income, any prejudice seems pale and self-deceptive.
The most important thing is that live streaming allows you to interact with the audience. If you tell your relatives, then the news will definitely spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. When the live broadcast starts, all your relatives and friends will come for group team building.
By then, the screen will be filled with white words such as "My Xiao Min is really awesome" and "This live broadcast is really interesting"...
Ruan Min'er no longer dared to think about it.
To die on the spot is considered a light punishment.
"Don't worry, your daughter earns more than him." Ruan Min'er gave the two leaders who were watching the show on the side a look for help, "My boss is asking me to work overtime, I'll hang up first..."
After saying that, without waiting for her father to yell again, Ruan Min'er hung up the phone and quickly set her phone to Do Not Disturb mode to reject all incoming calls.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, Mr. Chang... I'm sorry for making fun of you." Ruan Min'er scratched her head embarrassedly, "My dad is a bit stubborn."
Being stubborn is good. The more stubborn your father is, the more you want to prove yourself. Yang Ruoqian nodded to show his understanding and stepped up his efforts to paint a rosy picture for Ruan Miner: "So, do you want to form a team by yourself and use the actual situation and results to tell your father that you are right?"
"Besides, didn't you say that you have to be very careful when speaking in other people's teams and it was very unpleasant?"
"Now you can form your own team, do whatever you want in the team, have fun playing, and realize your own dreams while shutting up your relatives. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?"
It is difficult to convince these predecessors with words alone, because they have lived for decades and spent their entire lives to establish their own complete worldview.
Only by putting the facts in front of them can we truly change their stereotypes about e-sports and the live streaming industry.
Ruan Min'er was both excited and worried: "I want to! But can I do it? I only know how to play games, not how to manage people."
"If you don't know how to do it, you can recruit someone who does." Yang Ruoqian couldn't wait to let Ruan Min'er build a team. "There is a company to provide you with funds, so just do it boldly."
Yang Ruoqian recognized Ruan Miner's gaming skills, but he had no idea that she could make this so-called team anything worthwhile.
The most critical point is not irrelevant factors such as how difficult it is to form a team or how expensive the equipment is.
But a team member.
Today is an era of wild development of the e-sports industry. Not only are the players competing fiercely, but even the e-sports clubs are also competing at all costs.
Whether it is an already famous player, a foreign player from other regions, or a good seedling in the league's youth training...
As long as there is potential and outstanding performance, and as long as they dare to stand out, countless clubs will spend huge sums of money and offer high salaries to recruit them into the club.
In order to tie the contestants down, a sky-high penalty clause was also introduced.
With the current financial resources of the Kuiguang Group, even if they drained all the system funds, it would be impossible to recruit a decent player.
Therefore, if Ruan Miner wanted to form a team, she could only start with an Internet cafe team - recruit some teammates with low salaries, and step by step through one game after another, so that the team could be promoted from the low-level league to the highest league.
Only when it reaches the highest league can it be considered to have initial commercial value and the ability to attract fans.
The possibility is too low.
Therefore, in the end, this team will most likely consist of five members, plus a substitute, a total of six people, who will share the money-printing machine of Ruan Min'er's total number of fans.
The bonuses can soar in an instant!
Yang Ruoqian firmly believed that Huang Rushi's success would never be repeated in Ruan Min'er.
Anyway, training and live streaming do not conflict with each other. Even if the team does not achieve any results, it will not affect Ruan Min'er's live streaming career.
"Boss Yang, thank you!" Ruan Min'er clenched her fists and whispered, "I will definitely perform well to prove that you did not choose the wrong person and that my father was wrong..."
"You want to form a team even though you're so quiet?" Yang Ruoqian joked.
Ruan Miner immediately raised her voice: "I will definitely achieve good results and prove that the boss did not choose the wrong person! Prove that my father was wrong!"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the young man's high spirits, as if he saw himself in his previous life who almost lost all his money, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good, very energetic!"
"We have tickets back to Jinhai the day after tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to give you a day off tomorrow to relax."
"Come to the company on Monday and we'll discuss the details."
…
Friday afternoon.
The pleasant and short business trip to the mountain city came to an end quietly.
After saying goodbye to Ruan Min'er at the airport, Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing returned home together and had dinner together as usual.
When leaving, Yang Ruoqian put the bag of clothes and peripherals he bought from the comic convention on the ground, and reminded Chang Zhiqing who was cleaning the table: "These are your things. I carried them for you all the way. Remember to put them away. I'm going back to rest. See you on Monday."
Chang Zhiqing glanced at the bag of clothes and hummed absentmindedly: "See you on Monday. See you on Monday."
Back in his room, Yang Ruoqian lay comfortably on the bed, took out his mobile phone and opened the Shark platform.
Alas, I just finished a big project to dilute Ruan Min'er, and when I got home I could see the unpopular Du Rulin again.
Who understands the happiness of double happiness? "Not bad, the live broadcast is over." Yang Ruoqian glanced at Du Rulin's online status and praised, "It seems that during my business trip, the employees still abided by the employee code of conduct."
Besides, any normal person would not volunteer to work overtime for free after get off work, right?
Aren’t you afraid of losing your appetite if you discuss work matters while eating?
Yang Ruoqian is still very confident in his employees.
"Let me see how many fans the new anchor has..."
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand..."
Yang Ruoqian, who was originally in a good mood, gradually became less vocal.
After several seconds, Yang Ruoqian threw his phone onto the bed, his tone filled with puzzlement and confusion: "These days, broadcasting the life of a company leader, broadcasting the daily life of a leader bullying employees, has so many people watching?!"
"No, you guys like to watch you go to work and have an immersive experience! It's so hard to watch a live broadcast, can't you watch something lighthearted and enjoyable? If not, can you watch something more profound?"
"There are 230,000 people. Their lives are so smooth. Do you want to make your beautiful life a little more difficult?"
This is unscientific! What kind of mentality do people have when watching this kind of live broadcast? I can't understand it at all.
But even though he complained, Yang Ruoqian struggled to crawl to the end of the bed, picked up his phone, opened Du Rulin's live broadcast room, and clicked on the replay of his latest live broadcast.
He wanted to see today why Du Rulin gained so many fans during the few days when he was on a business trip.
The Joy of Leadership.
The screen lit up, and Du Rulin's face, which needed no further elaboration, appeared in front of Yang Ruoqian, and a feeling of being in a state of heightened awareness came over him.
Du Rulin had a bright smile on his face. He adjusted his suit and said to the camera, "Yesterday I saw many viewers saying that I exploited my employees. This is really a stereotype."
“Our company’s care for employees reaches every aspect of their lives.”
"It just so happens that I just checked the employees and found out that the last intern who came here has a birthday today."
Du Rulin stood up and walked towards the office area, coming to the side of Shao Yiqi's seat. The two of them appeared in the same frame on the screen, one of them was dealing with documents on the table in a miserable way, while the other was smiling at the camera, creating a sense of contrast and comedy.
Du Rulin smiled brightly at the camera: "Let him buy a cake to honor me. After all, it's not easy for me to give him the job opportunity. It's only natural for him to repay me on his birthday."
Next, the scene shifted to the table, where a luxurious big cake was placed with several candles on it.
Du Rulin, holding a knife and fork in his hand, did not rush to eat. He turned around and urged Shao Yiqi beside him: "Make a wish quickly, I want to eat."
"Mmm, it smells good~"
…
Yang Ruoqian did not watch the replay of the live broadcast. He clicked and turned off the screen of his phone.
sleep.
If I keep reading, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
Does this live broadcast have anything to do with what was said to be “real”?! Where did you get all this material from?! I must check it out when I get back to the company on Monday!
(Another 100 monthly tickets, and I owe 3 chapters. There are still 4,000 words to be written tonight!)
