Chapter 154 Ambushed by President Pei Again!

Meng Chang was stunned. He wondered if he had opened Rabbit Tail Live in the wrong way.

What was going on?

According to the norm of other live-streaming platforms, shouldn't the homepage feature a young lady in a crop top and hot pants dancing to thank people for gifts? Or, at the very least, a popular game streamer in the heat of battle?

But the homepage of Rabbit Tail Live actually featured an old professor giving a lecture?

What the hell...?

Meng Chang was momentarily at a loss, unable to figure out what was going on.

Then he looked at the comments in Professor Kong Zhemin's live-streaming room.

"He's actually lecturing?"

"This is a genuine big shot!"

"The professor explains things so well, in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Even a academic bum like me can understand."

"Stop posting random comments and listen carefully!"

"So Rabbit Tail Live isn't just a live-streaming platform, it's also a learning platform?"

"I love it, I love it! As expected, Rabbit Tail Live's publicity had a plan. I knew there was a reason why it was launching an AoE attack on the entire live-streaming industry!"

"Rabbit Tail Live is completely different from those other flashy bitches!"

Watching the discussions in the comments, Meng Chang suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart and sensed something was wrong.

Damn it!

He had been ambushed by President Pei!

Meng Chang was a smart man. After seeing the content of the live-streaming room and connecting it with the audience's feedback and the direction of the promotional video, he immediately understood what was going on.

Currently, Rabbit Tail Live was in the test stage of its launch. Because there wasn't much publicity, there weren't many people. However, Pei Qian had bought more than enough bandwidth in order to spend more money, so the viewing experience was smooth and without any lag.

Rabbit Tail Live didn't fake numbers, so the popularity of each live-streaming room looked very shabby. Professor Kong Zhemin's live-streaming room on the homepage only had a few thousand people, and the other live-streaming rooms had even fewer viewers, some with only single-digit viewers, and some even with zero viewers.

But at the same time, the atmosphere in these live-streaming rooms was very good.

When you entered a live-streaming room on other platforms, there were indeed a lot of comments, densely covering the entire screen, but if you looked closely, you would find that there were people fishing, people trolling, people using automatic replies, and people starting arguments...

The environment could be described as chaotic.

But the comment environment on Rabbit Tail Live was very good, because everyone who stayed was interested in what Professor Kong Zhemin was talking about. And facing such a highly respected old professor, most people wouldn't have the idea of fishing or making memes, so the comment environment was naturally much better.

In other words, although Rabbit Tail Live was launched in a very hasty manner, without many popular streamers and with seemingly dismal data, it had its own unique advantages, which were the content of the live-streaming rooms and the good comment environment!

In this way, the content of the promotional video was completely understandable.

The promotional video of Rabbit Tail Live on the surface was an AoE attack on the entire live-streaming industry, implying that watching live-streaming would waste time and you wouldn't learn anything, and in the end, you would achieve nothing.

But in reality, the deeper purpose of this promotional video was to highlight the difference between Rabbit Tail Live and other live-streaming platforms!

Spending a long time watching live-streaming on other live-streaming platforms would indeed waste time and you wouldn't learn anything, because most of the content of the live-streaming was games and beauties, which was just pure entertainment. Moderate viewing could relax your body and mind, but if you were addicted to it, it would definitely waste time.

But Rabbit Tail Live was different, it had a very rich course content.

Of course, the intensity of these course contents was definitely not as high as studying at a regular college. In order to make it easier for ordinary people to understand, most of the young lecturers and professors would choose the most simple and easy-to-understand knowledge to explain, and it wouldn't be too difficult to understand, so naturally it wouldn't be particularly profound.

But even the most simple content was better than pure entertainment.

Even if these were very elementary contents, viewers could at least expand their knowledge after watching them, which was beneficial.

Another very important point was that people actually had a desire for knowledge.

The reason why most people hated learning was mainly because learning in school was often accompanied by rigid exam requirements, and too much emphasis was placed on the efficiency of learning, so the most efficient but boring teaching methods were chosen.

The content that Professor Kong Zhemin lectured on Rabbit Tail Live was more like Lectures from the Masters or public courses, the content wasn't so profound or obscure, and the process of lecturing also paid great attention to methods, so it wouldn't cause the audience to feel disgusted.

The popularity of many knowledge popularization UP masters on Lectures from the Masters and Aili Island was enough to prove that the general public had a natural desire for knowledge.

Moreover, lecturing on a live-streaming platform was special enough in itself. Some people, even if they didn't understand it very well, would listen for a while out of curiosity and novelty before leaving.

So, it became the situation now.

Meng Chang was a smart man, and he quickly realized his situation.

His situation was very bad!

Although the popularity of Rabbit Tail Live wasn't high from the current data of the live-streaming rooms, you couldn't look at the simple data at this time!

The most successful part of Rabbit Tail Live's first day of launch was that it left everyone with a unique and special impression.

Through the promotional video and the content on Rabbit Tail Live, Rabbit Tail Live successfully bound itself to the concept of a "knowledge live-streaming platform." When many people heard of Rabbit Tail Live, they would subconsciously think of the various courses on it.

In this way, it was equivalent to making an essential distinction from other live-streaming platforms and completely staggering its positioning!

Therefore, it wouldn't be a problem even if Rabbit Tail Live had low popularity, the real number of people looked very pitiful, and the live-streaming content wasn't rich enough.

Because it had already run on a different track from other live-streaming platforms, naturally, it didn't need to use the evaluation methods of other live-streaming platforms to measure itself!

"It's over, I've been tricked!"

"I was schemed against by President Pei!"

Meng Chang was counting on this promotional video to get him a high commission. Now it seemed that there was no way he could get a high commission.

This promotional video was too in line with the content of Rabbit Tail Live. On the surface, it was saying "don't watch live-streaming, watching live-streaming is a waste of time", but in reality, it was hinting "if you have to watch live-streaming, then come to Rabbit Tail Live, you can also learn some knowledge"!

Of course, this was definitely not Meng Chang's original intention.

But from the current situation of Rabbit Tail Live, everyone would understand it this way. Even if this wasn't Meng Chang's original intention, it wouldn't work. His original intention had been completely twisted and misunderstood!

As for why the current situation happened...

Did he even need to say it?

Besides President Pei, who else had such great energy?

Meng Chang recalled the scene of taking this promotional video to President Pei. He only remembered that President Pei immediately made a decision without saying a word, and even completely accepted the promotional video without making any changes.

At that time, there seemed to be a faint smile on President Pei's face.

Meng Chang didn't know what that smile represented at first, but now it seemed that President Pei's smile was obviously with some mockery.

That was a smile of having arranged everything and strategized everything!

Meng Chang realized that his little plan in his heart had obviously been calculated clearly by President Pei. And what shocked Meng Chang the most was, how exactly did President Pei guess what he was thinking?

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

The first possibility was that President Pei had already planned to make Rabbit Tail Live such a knowledge live-streaming platform, and had anticipated that Meng Chang would promote it in this way. Everything was within President Pei's expectations.

The second possibility was that President Pei didn't have a very clear plan for the content of Rabbit Tail Live before, and only after seeing Meng Chang's promotional video did he take the moves and temporarily decide to make Rabbit Tail Live a knowledge live-streaming platform.

Both of these possibilities were very terrifying to Meng Chang!

Didn't this mean that he was really like the Monkey King, always thinking that he had run far enough, but still failed to escape the palm of the Buddha?

And what was even more terrifying was that Meng Chang felt that the second possibility was actually very small.

Because live-streaming was obviously one of Tengda's core businesses, and it could be linked with games, GPL, and a series of Tengda's businesses. According to President Pei's character of strategizing everything, Rabbit Tail Live was definitely a project that was highly valued and had been prepared for a long time.

How could such a project change its original direction and become a knowledge live-streaming platform just by a temporary idea?

It was too trivial and didn't conform to President Pei's consistent style of strategizing everything.

Meng Chang felt that President Pei shouldn't be so bored that he would specifically change the entire business model and development direction of such a core live-streaming business just to not give him a high commission.

Therefore, the first possibility was more likely!

President Pei had already thought of making Rabbit Tail Live a unique knowledge live-streaming platform from the beginning, and had also anticipated that Meng Chang would give a "special" promotional video under the interest-driven of high commission.

In other words, most of this was within President Pei's plan!

Meng Chang felt a chill run down his spine.

Losing this month's commission was just a small matter, it was only a loss of tens of thousands of yuan. The key was, what about the future commissions?

If President Pei calculated his every promotional plan and every reverse publicity ultimately had an excellent publicity effect, wouldn't he have to take that pitifully low basic salary for the rest of his life?

Was he really going to work for President Pei for ten years for nothing?

Meng Chang felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. If he continued to think about it, he might have a mental breakdown on the spot.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, gradually calming himself down.

"Calm down, things haven't reached the point of no return. President Pei has so much work to do, how can he put all his energy on me? Even if he can scheme against me once, can he scheme against me every time?"

"There's a long way to go, this is just a small setback."

"As long as I gradually figure out the situation of Tengda, I will be able to succeed one day. Reverse publicity, is it that difficult? I'm playing the simple mode, President Pei is playing the hell mode, can't I always lose to him like this?"

Meng Chang quickly persuaded himself and regained his composure.

He was scared by President Pei's strategizing just now. Now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, couldn't every publicity have this situation in the future?

Meng Chang decided not to think about Rabbit Tail Live anymore and instead focus on the esports promotional video.

Although the start was unfavorable and he was afraid that he wouldn't get a penny of commission, as long as the esports promotional video was done well, there was still room to recover those commissions!
