Chapter 384: Income of Boring Short Videos

As Li Chang and Lin Guangqing spoke, they had already picked up the pens beside the table and signed the contracts.

"Welcome, welcome!!!"

"From now on, you are members of the BL Game Club. Let us strive together for the glory of the club."

Seeing that the two had signed the contracts, Yao Beiguo stood up and said with a smile.

"General Manager Yao, we will work hard."

Li Chang and Lin Guangqing nodded solemnly. After the conversation just now, they already knew that even if they didn't end up becoming professional players, they would eventually become coaches for the club.

If there were no accidents, they estimated they would stay at this club indefinitely.

Therefore, the rise and fall of the club was also related to their future, so naturally, they had to work hard.

The few sat in the office and chatted for a while longer.

Yao Beiguo then escorted the two outside the office.

"Go back and prepare; you can bring your luggage and move into the club's dormitory at any time."

"Alright, General Manager Yao."

Li Chang and Lin Guangqing said their goodbyes and left the BL Game Club.

They needed to go back to pack their luggage and take care of some personal matters.

Yao Beiguo watched them leave, then turned and knocked on the door to enter the deputy manager's office.

"You're done talking? How was it? Did they sign the contracts?"

Tao Ze saw Yao Beiguo come in and asked indifferently.

Yao Beiguo smiled and sat opposite Tao Ze, unceremoniously picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Given the conditions our club has offered, unless they are fools, not many would refuse, right?"

"The contracts are signed; they can move into the club in about two days."

"How are things on your end?"

Yao Beiguo took a sip of tea and looked up at Tao Ze.

"It's the same."

Tao Ze nodded.

"It seems that our progress in recruiting retired professional players is going quite smoothly. However, for the recruitment of Extreme Survival personnel, we will need to recruit from those amateur players."

Yao Beiguo placed his teacup on the table. Extreme Survival was a new game; there were simply no retired professional players.

Tao Ze pondered for a moment, then spoke indifferently.

"Didn't Tiange Game Club host an offline tournament? We can take a look at the videos of that tournament to see if there are any strong players."

"That's not feasible. During the offline tournament, some of the players who performed well had already been poached by other clubs."

Yao Beiguo shook his head.

He had inquired with people from Tiange Club some time ago and learned that by the time the Extreme Survival offline tournament entered its latter stages, many clubs had already started forming Extreme Survival gaming teams.

And after the offline tournament ended, or even before it had ended, people from clubs had already started contacting those standout players.

At this point, if we were to pick from those tournament players, they would basically be the ones left over by those clubs.

They simply had no recruitment value.

"Sigh, we can only recruit newcomers and train them slowly."

Tao Ze sighed.

"That's all we can do. However, Extreme Survival is a new game, and Tian Ge just held an offline tournament. It will take some time at the earliest to hold the next one. And there is no news about General Manager Chen holding an Extreme Survival offline tournament, so we don't need to worry too much; we can just recruit slowly."

"According to our current recruitment progress, in another month, all members of the entire club will be pretty much fully staffed."

Yao Beiguo estimated the current recruitment progress of the game club members.

"A month, huh? That should be about right."

"Once the recruitment of members is finished, it will be time for us to carry out promotional work. Next month is August, and in October, two games will be holding winter tournaments."

"We need to speed up our progress and ensure that we spread the news before the tournaments to generate buzz. Then, when the winter tournaments begin, we will let our professional teams enter the arena."

Tao Ze said quickly.

"Isn't that a bit rushed? In two months, the teams will likely still be in the integration stage; I'm afraid it will be hard to achieve any good results on the competition field!"

Yao Beiguo said with some worry.

"No, it must be as soon as possible, otherwise, once the buzz is hyped to a certain height, it will definitely diminish. So, we must let the teams compete when the buzz is at its highest."

"This way… the audience will pay more attention, and what the competition results are will better allow our BL Game Club to appear in the eyes of the audience."

"As for the ranking, it is not important."

Tao Ze shook his head slowly. The buzz would definitely diminish over time; waiting until the buzz disappeared to participate in the competition would be ineffective.

Inside the office, the two continued to discuss the club's development plan for the future.

…

At Boring Short Videos, Li Shen and Wu Yu were sitting in the office, looking at the data report for the educational livestreams during this period.

As Li Weiwei changed the promotional plan to an online task release model.

The educational livestreams picked up speed rapidly.

Moreover, there were more and more streamers doing educational livestreams part-time, but eighty percent of them were students from Normal University.

And after many adjustments and changes.

In order to make the teaching more professional, they divided the livestream subjects, where each streamer would only teach one subject.

In this way, they could provide targeted teaching and effectively answer questions in the Livestream room.

Otherwise, some audience members would ask about English, some would ask about math, some would ask about physics…

In short, multiple subject questions could appear in one Livestream room at the same time. If there were few people, it was manageable, but when there were many people, the streamer simply couldn't keep up.

This made the livestream teaching become very chaotic.

However, after making adjustments, this problem disappeared.

In one Livestream room, only one subject was taught, and only questions about one subject were answered, which made it much easier for the streamer.

And in this way, a streamer could face more audience members at the same time.

Furthermore, after the reform, they conducted an online survey, and the results obtained were basically unanimous praise.

After a while!

Li Shen set aside the materials in his hand, turned to look at Wu Yu, with a hint of joy on his face.

"Not bad. After this period of promotion, the audience for educational livestreams has reached over 80,000. And looking at the data on the report, the number of audience members is still rising."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu also put down the report in his hand, his face also filled with joy.

"It seems that our decision to focus on developing subject-based livestreams was a very correct one. Now, just from subject-based livestreams, selling those study materials, stationery, etc., the profit obtained this month has already reached 500,000."

This 500,000 is not the sales revenue of the Livestream room, but the commission Boring Short Videos received after purely selling those stationery and study materials, while also deducting the share given to the streamers.

Therefore, 500,000 is the income of Boring Short Videos.

And the real sales revenue has already reached millions; over 80,000 audience members have consumed millions in total.

It is evident how willing those parents are to spend money on their children!

"This is a good thing; I have to report it to General Manager Chen!"

Li Shen smiled relaxedly. An income of 500,000 meant nothing to the entire Mingri Group, but for Boring Short Videos, it was definitely good news.

"Yes, I have already asked the people below to prepare a report and submit it."

Wu Yu nodded.
