Chapter 22: Whale TV

Deep Sea City, 15th Floor, B3 Building, High-tech Park, Headquarters of Whale Technology Company.

Whale Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2007. It is a local network technology company that mainly operates online games, videos, animations and other projects. In June 2012, it officially launched [Whale TV] and became one of the first domestic online live broadcast platforms. one.

At that time, online live broadcasting was still in a pioneering state. With the strong support of Whale Technology, [Whale TV] developed extremely rapidly, especially in its main game live broadcast. With the three popular games of CKG, Hero City and Planet Overlord, It quickly occupied more than 70% of the market share and cultivated a large number of excellent anchors.

But as the pie of online live streaming gets bigger and bigger, more big players in the industry are eyeing this piece of fat. [Whale TV] has encountered fierce competition. Many popular anchors have been poached by high salaries, and their popularity continues to decline.

Under such circumstances, the top management of [Whale TV] still clung to game live broadcasting, ignoring the importance of entertainment and life live broadcasting programs, resulting in a continuous decline in market share, and even being nicknamed [Salted Fish TV].

[Whale TV] certainly did not want to be regarded as a salted fish, so the top management learned from the pain and replaced a group of incompetent middle and lower-level managers, and worked hard to compete for resources with rivals such as [Starlight Show] and [Sky Live], and finally managed to barely reverse the decline.

[Whale TV]'s revenue accounts for more than 65% of Whale Technology Company, so the website branch and the headquarters are on the same floor, with more than 100 employees.

Although it was almost afternoon, dozens of employees in the Operation Management Department were still busy in front of their computers. No one got up to stretch their muscles or drink some water, and the atmosphere was tense and orderly.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, a woman in a white professional dress jumped up from her seat. She raised her clenched fist and waved it vigorously, looking very excited.

The young colleague next to her noticed it and asked curiously, "Sister Shanshan, what good thing happened to you?"

The office lady named Shanshan smiled and replied, "I found a new anchor with great potential!"

Her voice was very loud, and more colleagues around her asked questions after hearing it.

"Congratulations, Shanshan!"

"Which company did you recruit her from? What's her name?"

"Does she really have the potential to be a big hit? There are a lot of newcomers these days who are overrated. Don't just look at the surface data!"

"What type? Games? Singers? Lifestyle shows?"

"Shanshan, please treat us!"

Shanshan smiled and said, "It's okay to treat us. I'll report to my supervisor first and tell you after the contract is officially signed!"

She ran to the innermost part of the Operation Management Department in two steps.

That was the office of Wu Hongming, the Operation Manager of [Whale TV]. When Shanshan rushed in like a whirlwind, the super manager BOSS was still concentrating on checking the work report in his hand.

"Boss!"

Shanshan's excited call forced Wu Hongming to put down the documents in his hand. He frowned helplessly and said with a gloomy face: "Wu Shanshan, how old are you? Why are you still like a child? You are so impatient!"

Wu Shanshan's surname is Wu, and his surname is also Wu. The two are relatives. Because of this, Wu Hongming's requirements for Wu Shanshan are even stricter, so as not to be accused of nepotism.

Wu Shanshan has graduated from university for three years and has not been in [Whale TV] for long. Her lively and lively personality gives Wu Hongming a headache, and he has to teach her a lesson frequently.

But it basically has no effect, and Wu Shanshan is very popular among her colleagues.

Facing her uncle's scolding, Wu Shanshan quickly stuck out her tongue, lowered her eyebrows and said: "Boss, I found a new anchor with great potential, and we need to discuss the contract now!"

Relatives are relatives, and public and private matters must be clearly distinguished, so in the company, she calls Wu Hongming the same as other colleagues, "Boss" and "Boss".

Wu Hongming is one of the founders of [Whale TV] and a senior veteran of Whale Technology.

"You shouted so loudly just now, I'm not deaf!"

The veteran said unhappily: "Is this one reliable? Don't be like the last one."

When Wu Hongming mentioned her own embarrassing story, Wu Shanshan's face couldn't help but blush.

Last time, she also found a new anchor, but she was wrong. The other party was a fake who was brushing data. Fortunately, Wu Hongming strictly checked and found the problem, and finally did not cause any losses to the company.

As an old live broadcast platform, [Whale TV] certainly faces huge pressure in operation, but it is still very cautious in poaching people, and always maintains the style of preferring to have nothing rather than to have something of poor quality.

She tried to defend herself, "Boss, this anchor is really good. He was banned by Starlight Show because of contract issues. If I wasn't in his fan group, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to poach him!"

"Starlight Show? Contract issues?"

Wu Hongming's eyebrows twisted into a "chuan" character and said, "Show me his information."

It is of course a good thing to poach people from the old rival [Starlight Show], but the premise is that the person must be reliable. If he is unruly or greedy and short-sighted, Wu Hongming doesn't want him even if he has talent.

Wu Shanshan said quickly: "I have saved it in the folder. You will know when you open it."

Wu Hongming nodded and directly accessed the shared folder in Wu Shanshan's computer through the local area network. This was his authority as a supervisor, and others could not do it.

Wu Shanshan had long been eyeing Lu Chen, so she was quite well prepared, including the number of followers and popularity of Lu Chen's live broadcast in [Starlight Show], as well as the total amount of rewards, fans of Star Circle, and Feixun Group.

The most important thing is the two live video recordings!

At the beginning, Wu Hongming frowned again when he saw Lu Chen's basic information.

Because Lu Chen's data is very small, and the live broadcast has only been opened for two or three days, the number of followers has increased rapidly, but this kind of data is too easy to fake and cannot be used seriously.

As for popularity, reward value, fans, etc., Wu Hongming can't see how much potential there is to become popular.

Will such a pure new anchor be banned by [Starlight Show] because of contract issues?

He wondered if his niece was confused again!

With a responsible attitude, Wu Hongming clicked to open a live video.

". I will present another original song of my own, the name is You, my deskmate, I hope you like it!"

Lu Chen's voice instantly came out clearly from the computer speakers.

Original song?

Wu Hongming's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He turned up the volume of the speakers on the computer.

"Will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday tomorrow?"

"Will you still miss you who used to cry the most tomorrow?"

"The teachers can't remember it anymore"

When the melody of "You, my deskmate" came out with Lu Chen's clear, clean and slightly sentimental voice through the high-quality speakers of the speakers, the entire office area of ​​the Operation Management Department suddenly became quiet.

The click of the mouse disappeared, the tapping of the keyboard disappeared, and the song seemed to have magic, which attracted people involuntarily, and brought them into the green years of the past. Most of the employees of the Transportation Management Department are very young, and their memories of junior high school, high school and college are still very clear, so they instinctively resonate with this song, even if it is just the first time they hear it. Listening to the song, those beautiful and nostalgic emotions rise in their hearts, making them forget their work. The song ended, and there was silence. Wu Hongming turned off the video. Wu Shanshan was anxious: "Boss, there's more to come, just keep watching!"

"This song is enough!"

Wu Hongming's frown relaxed and he asked: "Are you sure this is the original work of this Lu Fei? Do you know what clause in the contract caused him to fall out with Starlight Show and get banned?"

An original work alone may not make Wu Hongming make up his mind, but Lu Chen not only has a very high level of singing and playing, but also has good looks. He has all the talent, gifts and strength, and he really has the potential to become a big star!

He dared to assert that [Starlight Show] missed a new star!
