Chapter 208: President Chen’s Deep Meaning

"Are we recruiting our own streamers?"

Li Shen asked in confusion. This was a question he had never considered.

Chen Mo nodded. "That's right, we're recruiting our own streamers."

"We can recruit dance instructors, fitness coaches, legal consultants, college students for part-time streaming, or even streamers who offer some educational value."

When he usually browsed short videos, whenever he came across such content, the number of people in the Livestream room was basically just a few, with at most a few dozen.

This showed that these types of livestreams had no appeal.

It made sense.

Influencers were wearing sexy stockings and dancing hot dances.

But here, you're jumping straight to 'Postpartum Care for Sows'. Who would watch that!

No appeal meant no traffic, and no traffic meant no revenue.

And the maintenance team for the short video platform later on, along with the salaries for recruiting streamers, were all expenses.

In this way, it was a very good trend for development.

"Alright, that's about all for the changes. You go handle it. If you don't understand anything about company registration, you can go to the Legal Department and ask Tang Qiu for help."

"Understood, President Chen. What should we name our short video app?"

Li Shen asked. Since they were registering a company, they definitely needed to choose a name.

"Hmm… Let's call it Boring. Boring Short Videos."

Chen Mo thought for a moment, an idea striking him.

Boring Short Videos—what a great name.

The name was boring, and the livestream content would be boring too.

"President Chen, the meaning behind this name isn't very good, is it?"

Li Shen was stunned.

"What's bad about the meaning? Who watches short videos if not bored people? This name is very fitting. We'll go with it."

Chen Mo tapped the table lightly, deciding the name without room for argument.

Leaving the office.

Wu Yu said with some concern.

"Brother Shen, if we do as President Chen requested, the short video platform won't have any appeal at all."

If a short video platform doesn't have young ladies dancing, what fun is there left!

Thinking of this, Wu Yu took out his phone, entered the short video app, and looked at the young ladies he followed. These were his true loves!

Li Shen glanced over, and his mouth twitched at the videos Wu Yu was scrolling through.

He suddenly felt that President Chen's decision was correct. No wonder Wu Yu could eat so much every day and never gain weight; so this was the reason.

He reached out and patted Wu Yu's shoulder.

"What do you know? President Chen wants to establish a different kind of short video platform, to build a healthy livestreaming exchange base."

"Just think, if there are enough teachers on the short video platform, and it covers all sorts of teaching, whenever you don't understand something, you can get answers on it. Wouldn't that be very convenient?"

"But how would we make a profit? Who would tip a streamer for educational content?"

Wu Yu couldn't quite figure it out.

The young ladies he watched all had 'Big Brothers' (patrons), who would casually 'brush' a convoy or something.

But would those educational streamers attract 'Big Brothers'?

Li Shen thought for a moment and conjectured.

"I guess President Chen wants to follow a knowledge-payment model, but this payment model isn't mandatory; it's voluntary."

"Look, suppose you are a student's parent, and the student is suddenly stumped by a problem that you don't know either. But the parent finds the answer from a part-time college student."

"Then, if the parent is happy, wouldn't they tip the streamer? Even if this parent doesn't tip, other parents will."

"And this includes, but isn't limited to, students. Maybe someone wants to learn street dance, and it just so happens our platform has a street dance teacher…"

"Besides knowledge payments, we can also take on advertisements. Dance teachers can endorse dance apparel, fitness teachers can endorse fitness equipment… and so on."

Listening to Li Shen's explanation, it was as if Wu Yu had been suddenly enlightened.

"So that's what President Chen meant!"

"Now you get it, right? Let's go back and work out a plan, then get the app up and running as soon as possible."

Inside the office,

Chen Mo let out a long sigh of relief. The short video project was finally set in stone.

Following the requirements, losing money was inevitable.

In the afternoon,

Shen Rou finished the winter sports meet proposal and brought it over.

"President Chen, the proposal is ready. Please take a look."

Chen Mo opened the proposal and glanced through it briefly, mainly to see if Shen Rou had followed his requirements.

"Overall, it's not bad. We'll go with this, but let's cancel that 50-meter race event."

The entire proposal was basically done according to his requirements; she hadn't saved him any money.

It was just that 50-meter race…

Thinking of the scene during that competition, it was obvious those employees were letting him win. It was too fake.

However, even if this event was canceled, he couldn't give up the chance to fleece the system!

He thought for a moment and said.

"Now that the number of employees has increased, the previous point system is a bit too cumbersome, so let's cancel the point system."

"President Chen, if the point system is canceled, how will the prizes be distributed?"

"This time, the prizes will be changed to a blind box lottery. Everyone who participates in three different competition events will get one chance to draw, with a maximum of two chances."

"However, considering that the number of employees has increased and some leaders need to manage order and might not be able to participate in the competitions, the leaders will directly receive two lottery chances."

"Of course, employees who participate in the competitions will also have extra rewards. The top three in each event will receive cash prizes of 2,000, 1,000, and 500."

Chen Mo said with a smile.

This way, he could ensure the employees' enthusiasm for participating, and he could also 'get for free' two chances to draw from the blind boxes.

And since it was a blind box, it was perfectly normal for him to rig it behind the scenes and draw two valuable prizes.

"Alright, that's it. Let's set the sports meet for Friday the 26th."

"Understood, President Chen."

Shen Rou took back the proposal handed over by President Chen and returned to her cubicle.

At the same time, she sent the specific time for the sports meet and the changes to the rules to the leadership group that had been established earlier.

In the Garment factory workshop,

After Jiang Cheng announced the sports meet, it instantly caused a commotion.

"Damn, President Chen is holding another sports meet. But there's still more than a week until the meet; I need to train hard."

"This time, there are even prizes for the top three in each event. This is too good!"

"No, starting tomorrow, I'm going to start morning jogs every day."

Hearing the news about the sports meet, the crowd of employees began to rub their hands in anticipation.

Of course, there was also a large portion of new employees who didn't react much to the news of the sports meet.

"Team leader, are the rewards for this sports meet really that generous?"

A new employee looked at their team leader and asked curiously.
