This one sentence immediately propelled the topic of "livestreamer income" to the top of Weibo's trending topics list.
Lin Chen's anger subsided. Such a big thing for Tencent didn't make it to the trending topics, but how much money do these streamers make make it to the trending topics?
Although these streamers earn a decent income, they've still acquired a skill, and there's nothing shameful about earning money through their own abilities.
However, since this matter is so popular, let's take advantage of this popularity and recruit some live streamers.
"Panda TV offers a million-dollar annual salary – are you ready to take the challenge?"
The topic of streamers' income has been trending online recently, and Panda TV's job posting was like a timely boost, instantly making it to the top of the trending searches, saving Lin Chen the cost of a trending search.
After seeing Panda TV's actions, Zhang Wei, the head of the QQ Live platform, immediately came up with a plan and ran to Pony Ma's office to report it.
"Mr. Ma, I've thought of a way to turn the tables on Panda TV."
"Oh? What method?"
"Isn't Panda TV showing off its high salaries right now? We can use this public opinion to incite dissatisfaction among viewers, stir up the resentment of the rich among some extreme viewers, and make them boycott Panda TV. In this way, wouldn't our QQ TV have a chance to rise?"
"Zhang Wei, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! This is a good idea, go and implement it immediately."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll make sure it's done perfectly for you."
"Yes, keep up the good work, you'll definitely get a year-end bonus."
Soon after returning to his office, Zhang Wei took out his phone and contacted a former online troll leader.
"Mr. Zhang, what big deal is coming up this time?"
"This is a really big deal. You know Xingchen Technology, right? You know Panda TV, right? This time we're going to take them down."
"Hello, hello... My signal isn't very good here, I'll hang up now."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Zhang Wei took out his phone and looked at it in confusion. Wasn't the signal at full strength?
So he dialed it again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Sorry, you..."
Huh? What's going on?
Zhang Wei refused to believe it and picked up the landline again to dial the number.
This time it was finally connected.
Hello, who is this?
"It's me, Zhang Wei. What's wrong with your phone? I can't get through to you."
Even the head of the online trolls was speechless. It's so obvious, can't you see it?
Therefore, he had no choice but to get straight to the point.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't get me into trouble! You want me to go after Lin Gou? Do you want me to die even sooner?"
"Huh? Lin Gou? You mean Lin Chen? Is he that scary? You used to criticize all sorts of celebrities."
"How can that be the same? Celebrities aren't afraid. To be frank, some celebrities would love for us to criticize them; being criticized is still being famous. But Lin Gou is different; he really takes revenge when he has a grudge..."
Next, the head of the online army chattered on and on to Zhang Wei about Lin Chen's previous glorious achievements.
"Huh? You're a head of an online troll army, how do you know so much about these business matters?"
"Don't you usually read Tomato Novels? There's a book on it that's all about it. I even suspect that the author 'Jin Ge Qing He Cha' is just an alternate account that Lin Chen created himself."
"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. I'll give you double the money this time."
"No, three times the amount! Otherwise, there's no point in discussing it!"
"Okay, okay, three times it is, but you have to do a good job."
"No problem, you don't even know who I am."
After hanging up the phone, the head of the online trolls didn't waste any time and immediately got to work.
He plans to make this money, then go out and lay low for a while before coming back. That should be fine, right?
Lin Chen: Guess?
Soon, a series of comments appeared online about livestreamers earning high incomes and deceiving their fans.
"Netizens, these streamers are going too far. They earn tens of thousands of yuan every day and still ask fans to send them gifts. It's really disgusting how they make money. I won't say which platform they are from."
"Exactly, those female streamers are even worse. They even talk about meeting with the top male fan in private. Who knows what they're doing there? Tsk tsk tsk."
"Hey upstairs, stop talking. I saved up and spent all my money to send a rocket to a female streamer, and all I got in return was a thank you. Honestly, I'd rather have bought a couple more pounds of pork ribs."
...
Suddenly, negative news about streamers' high income, low moral character, and tricking fans into sending gifts flooded the internet.
At that time, the largest live streaming platform on the market was Panda TV, so this wave of cyberattacks was directed at Panda TV.
Similar comments filled the live streams of various streamers, and some streamers couldn't take it anymore and simply ended their broadcasts.
Even after the broadcast ended, these netizens still criticized her, saying that the truth had been exposed and she was too ashamed to face the audience.
Li Mengqi stormed into Lin Chen's office again, still fuming.
"Boss, the online opinions are really bad for Panda TV right now. Several big streamers are afraid to go live and have come to me asking what to do."
Today, Li Mengqi is wearing a white, tight-fitting halter dress with a shirt jacket draped over it.
The key point is that this dress is low-cut, which made Lin Chen unsure where to look.
Although Lin Chen's mind was telling his eyes not to look, not to look, his eyes seemed to have their own ideas, as if they had transformed into a high-definition camera, afraid of missing any detail.
"Ahem, boss, what should we do?"
"Ah, this... let me see, oh no, let me think about it."
Li Mengqi blushed, but did not avoid Lin Chen's gaze.
Taking advantage of the surge in his blood pressure, Lin Chen's mind raced, and ten minutes later, he slapped his thigh.
"Got it!"
"Huh? What happened?"
"I've got an idea."
Li Mengqi was disappointed. You were looking at it so intently, and you even had the mind to think of a solution? Am I not charming enough?
"What method?"
"The online comments are nothing more than the fact that our streamers earn a lot of money, which makes some fans who hate the rich jealous. And there must be someone stirring things up. Otherwise, kind and lovely fans wouldn't attack the streamers every day."
"Could it be..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I never said it was Tencent."
"..."
"In that case, we should keep announcing high-salary job openings for live streamers, and then issue another announcement called 'Panda Live's 10 Billion Yuan Subsidy'."
"A subsidy of 10 billion? What kind of subsidy?"
"We are holding an event to give back to our fans with billions in subsidies. For every 100 yuan recharged, you will get a chance to win a prize. Prizes include coupons such as 100 yuan off for recharging 100 yuan, free recharge coupons, Meituan coupons with no minimum spend, Pinduoduo coupons with no minimum spend, and gifts from various live streamers' rooms, etc."
