Chapter 247 Garden Party
Turning the housewarming and opening ceremony into a carnival—this ingenious idea came from Zhang Mo.
It's not just a regular garden party; it also needs to fit the theme of Children's Day.
Importantly, more than 500 users will be randomly invited to the event to participate in the carnival activities.
As early as half a month ago, the ShanHai Live platform page had already transformed into a joyful ocean of pre-launch hype.
The homepage carousel has been updated with a whimsical pixel-style poster, and each streamer has been given an admission ticket, which will be randomly distributed during the live stream, giving all viewers who are online at the time a chance to win one.
As the planner, Zhang Yiming suggested, based on traditional promotional logic, that admission tickets be distributed according to the number of fans the streamer had.
For example, top-tier streamers like Zhang Chenxiao should post more often to attract more traffic.
However, Zhang Mo rejected the suggestion and told him to distribute 5 cards to each streamer on average.
The main focus is on fairness, impartiality, and transparency.
Furthermore, to prevent scalping, the admission tickets and accounts are linked to the ID cards used, and resale is not allowed. The tickets can only be used by the person holding the valid ID on the day of the event.
This leads to a very interesting phenomenon.
That is, a large number of users suddenly flocked to the live broadcast rooms of small streamers who were usually ignored.
Why?
Because there are fewer people, the chances of winning are greater!
The advantage of being a demon is that no matter how insignificant you are, your looks are always top-notch.
Moreover, junior streamers can even enjoy the added satisfaction of nurturing new talent.
After two weeks of giveaways, all the lower-level streamers saw a significant increase in their fan base. Some even found their niche and started a new chapter in their careers, thanks to suggestions from their viewers.
This is truly something to celebrate.
Looking at the ever-increasing data and the screen full of positive reviews, Zhang Yiming couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart: Our CEO Zhang is truly visionary!
.
Meanwhile, the recruitment of new employees was also in full swing.
Since posting job openings on the company website, we've been receiving resumes from all over the world every day.
Yes, the whole world, not just the whole country!
That's how our General Manager Zhang rose to fame!
From New York to Tokyo, from London to Sydney, even Antarctic research stations have sent job applications, with the reason being "wanting to follow General Manager Zhang and do something earth-shattering!"
That's outrageous.
To improve efficiency, everyone discussed and devised a "science + metaphysics" interview process.
First, Yu Hui calculated the fortune based on the birth date on the resume, simply and crudely rejecting those with bad luck.
Then, relevant personnel will conduct professional testing.
Those who passed the professional examination were finally examined by Yu Hui and Jiu Xuan together.
Fortune telling eliminates a large portion of those who are good at it, professional skills eliminate another large portion, and in the end, very few are left when it comes to face reading.
Even so, the process of face reading still eliminates quite a few people.
Yu Hui: "This person is inherently suspicious and lacks judgment. No good."
Jiu Xuan: "I have too many romantic entanglements, how can I concentrate on work? Get lost."
Yu Hui: "Weak-willed, lazy and gluttonous. No good."
Jiu Xuan: "This guy is totally love-struck. He blushes at the mere mention of the word 'boss.' He's obviously after Mo Mo. Tell him to get lost!"
Yu Hui: "This one is alright. His chin is as broad and thick as a weight, indicating strong resilience and a kind and easy-going nature."
Jiuxuan: "Strong emotional management skills, focused and serious, and consistent. Not bad."
......
Following this series of actions, and after receiving approval via email from Zhang Mo, who was in the United States, the technology department added two senior programmers, while the business department and planning department each added three new employees.
This means that the number of human employees at Shan Hai Live has finally broken into single digits! Congratulations!!!
.
Time flies, and June 1st has finally arrived.
On that day, the total number of attendees reached a staggering 800.
In addition to the lucky audience members, the event also extended a sincere invitation to major media outlets, industry partners, and Zhang Mo's classmates and friends.
Fortunately, the park is spacious, with well-designed routes and ample activity areas, which can easily accommodate this grand carnival.
The meticulously drawn electronic guide map clearly marks each area and is thoughtfully accompanied by cute cartoon illustrations, making it easy for everyone to quickly find the attractions they are interested in.
First, there's the gaming area located on the periphery of the park, where a giant inflatable archway has been erected, neon signs flashing the words "Gathering Place for High-End Players," and cheerful electronic sound effects intertwine with cheers rising and falling.
The game area is divided into 5 major categories, ranging from hilarious and funny to thrilling and exciting, each with its own unique appeal.
These include: a human-shaped bowling ball, a giant billiard ball, a water basketball shooting machine, a water tug-of-war, and a meticulously designed haunted house.
Human bowling is a two-person team. One person wears a helmet and rides in a special go-kart, while the other person pushes them forward to hit the two-meter-high inflatable bowling pins.
The race was full of unexpected situations. Some teammates pushed too hard, causing their go-karts to veer off course like out-of-control rockets and crash directly into the edge protection mats. Other competitors, before even hitting the bottles, were thrown off their karts by inertia and rolled twice on the ground. The spectators were laughing so hard they were breathless, almost laughing to tears.
Giant billiards is a 3V3 competition held on a giant billiards table that covers nearly 100 square meters. Players kick the white ball like a soccer ball to hit the colored balls and score points.
This was the most difficult event of the entire event because controlling the angle of impact was so challenging. The first team played for over half an hour without scoring a single goal. Xu Wen then stepped in and temporarily changed the rules, allowing the use of hands and heads—whatever you used, as long as you scored. This completely spiraled out of control, and everyone started coming up with all sorts of ingenious tricks, using everything from basketball to volleyball moves, leaving the onlookers in stitches.
The water basketball shooting machine is a temporary floating platform that sways gently with the waves. Players need to stand on the inflatable board to maintain their balance and shoot the basketball at a constantly rotating hoop on the opposite bank.
It's just that it's really hard to maintain balance. Usually, she twists and turns, and finally falls into the water with a "plop," splashing water directly onto the audience on the shore. The audience is not annoyed at all; instead, they laugh so hard they're bent over, shouting "One more!"
Tug-of-war on the water is similar to basketball shooting, taking place in a makeshift inflatable pool.
Tug-of-war in the water isn't about strength at all; it's all about luck. If even one person slips, everyone will fall into the water like dominoes.
If you look closely, you can also spot many familiar figures.
