CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 145 Seeking Cooperation!

Regarding the team competition event held by Lu Yiming's platform.

Many players are eagerly waiting for the game to begin.

This event can be said to have injected vitality into the previously stagnant CSGO scene in China.

Three days before the start of this event.

Many teams named after dormitories or school internet cafes have emerged here.

All of them launched attacks on the ladder rankings in order to gain extra chances to win prizes.

The basic framework of an esports atmosphere has already been established.

On the day of the event.

The match was held in the evening.

The platform underwent another non-stop maintenance at 8:00 AM.

As a beta testing platform, this update frequency is not unusual, but the new features added in this update are a pleasant surprise for players.

Lu Yiming is not currently streaming.

However, this does not prevent players from using his live stream as a hub for discussion.

[Holy crap! CEO Lu is making a big move! Have you guys updated yet?! Have you seen the new live streaming feature?]

[I saw it! Is CEO Lu planning to enter the live streaming industry?]

It's hard to say! The live streaming platform market is already a three-way competition, isn't it? It's a bit of a thankless task for Mr. Lu to get involved now!

[Our team is recruiting assault players! Looking for top-tier players! Successful candidates will receive a free skin! Add us on QQ]

[Can anyone help me pass the advanced achievements on the Mirage map? 20 RMB for a pass! Add me on QQ.]

【.】

A live streaming section has been added after the update.

Currently, there are no live streams when you click on them.

However, this does not prevent netizens from creating derivative fantasies about the naming of this section.

Currently, many content creators rely on Lu Yiming's popularity to make a living.

Before noon that day.

Many bloggers are pointing to this feature to claim that Lu Yiming has "ambition" to enter the live streaming platform.

Things gradually began to escalate.

It spread through word of mouth among netizens.

Lu Yiming has become a traitor to the Shark platform.

This even convinced the higher-ups at Shark platform, who immediately sent people to inquire about Zeng Yuxin's situation.

A rogue ninja?

Live streaming platform?

What is this?

Zeng Yuxin stared blankly at the online news.

Then he looked up at Huang Xin, the supervisor who had called him over.

She immediately shook her head and said, "I don't know! Mr. Lu didn't tell me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xin also grimaced.

He thought to himself, "Even my subordinates are starting to call their anchors 'boss'!"

However, Lu Yiming's growth is indeed quite terrifying.

He even felt that Lu Yiming was currently on par with the platform!
It's not just because of the size of his livestream fanbase.

It's mainly because of the strength he gradually demonstrated.

But that's not the most important thing.

Thinking of the questions from his superiors.

Huang Xin immediately said, "Let's contact President Lu and ask! The higher-ups are very interested in his platform!"

Zeng Yuxin is not a novice in the workplace.

You can hear the underlying meaning in those words.

Although her employment contract was signed with the platform, her income was linked to Lu Yiming.

This prompted her to inquire about Huang Xin's superiors' attitude.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xin shook his head and said, "Don't ask me anything more!"

This sentence gives a general idea of ​​the attitude mentioned above.

Zeng Yuxin was somewhat uneasy.

Then, right in front of Huang Xin, he dialed Lu Yiming's number.

Three beeps.

The call is connected.

With Lu Yiming's "Hello" appearing.

Zeng Yuxin said with a heavy heart, "President Lu, could you please tell me about the live streaming section?"

at this time.

Lu Yiming was sitting in front of his computer typing.

Hearing this, he smiled gently.

I realized that the platform was indeed starting to panic.

He then said softly, "Actually, you didn't need to call. I'll explain when the broadcast starts."

Hear this.

Zeng Yuxin's heart skipped a beat.

She wanted to explain something, but then she remembered that her supervisor, Huang Xin, was right in front of her.

Being caught in the middle is a really unpleasant feeling.

But Lu Yiming's next words calmed her down.

"You're under pressure from above, right? Don't worry! I won't misunderstand anything. This live streaming segment of mine isn't about setting up a platform. I'll explain in detail when I start the stream."

Lu Yiming was naturally paying attention to the online buzz.

The current topic has gone so far as to become unwatchable.

But it's okay if it's crooked.

The most important thing is popularity.

He will achieve the greatest effect if he starts broadcasting later.

Hearing this, Zeng Yuxin nodded.

He then hung up the phone and looked at Huang Xin.

I was quite hesitant.

However, facing this gaze, Huang Xin calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and said, "Don't blame me! The higher-ups suddenly asked me! I have to give them an explanation! President Lu is a streamer that the platform is heavily promoting this year. If he's planning to start his own platform, the higher-ups will go crazy!"

The platform has just been launched.

Naturally, there needs to be something compelling to stimulate the stock market.

If Bao Ge and PDD are considered a winning combination...

The platform's expectations for Lu Yiming are four "twos".

But it's kind of funny that the bomb blows up its own platform.

Hearing this, Zeng Yuxin could understand.

After nodding slightly, he took his leave and left Supervisor Huang Xin's office.

It was 2 p.m.

Lu Yiming twisted his sore neck and hands and started the live stream.

He currently has a lot of traffic.

More than 300,000 viewers were waiting before the broadcast even started.

Most of these people are here for the chance to get a number.

As soon as the stream started, many viewers were urging him to quickly use his account login privileges in the chat.

However, Lu Yiming, who was watching the live stream comments, shook his head and laughed, "Don't rush to draw the qualification! Did everyone see the live stream section that went live today?"

As he spoke.

Lu Yiming has already logged into his own platform.

For this section.

The viewers have reached a consensus, just like other netizens.

This is seen as Lu Yiming's first step into the live streaming industry.

Looking at the comments section.

Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed, "No! Actually, it's a feature developed for members, and it also serves as a platform for future competitions. The live stream content in this section is just for you to watch the matches. Let me demonstrate it for you!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming moved the mouse and clicked on the live streaming section.

Unlike other players.

Once Lu Yiming enters the live streaming section, he can select the option to start a live stream.

After successfully selecting.

Lu Yiming started a game.

Currently, all the beta testers on the platform are climbing the ladder rankings, and Lu Yiming's ranking has already dropped to outside the top 100, so the game started immediately without much waiting.

This also happened after he successfully entered the room.

A room appeared on the live streaming interface.

Many beta testers in the live stream immediately clicked to enter the room that appeared.

soon.

Upon entering the game, they discovered that they shared the same game perspective as Lu Yiming.

And you can switch to third-person spectating.

At this moment, Lu Yiming spoke up and said, "This is the first feature of the live streaming section. You can invite other players to watch your perspective, and you can freely set the delay from three to thirty seconds."

The design delay is to prevent players from using this feature to cheat.

The three-second start time is to prevent players who enable this feature from cheating.

The spectator function is also available to officials.

It's certainly not worth Lu Yiming demonstrating in a live stream.

He then continued, "This is just a basic function. Actually, this live streaming section is for the purpose of preparing for the competition. Now there should be a second room in the section, right? This room is the core of this live streaming section!"

at this time.

There was a laptop next to Lu Yiming's screen.

The image has already been projected into the live stream room.

As he entered the second room of the live stream, he could see not only Lu Yiming's perspective, but also switch to any character or move freely around the map.

The room also features a bullet screen comment function.

Players can watch the game and interact at the same time.

In essence, this means that when Valve broadcasts a match, they delegate the control that was originally held by the director to the viewers themselves.

It also cleverly incorporated a bullet screen feature, allowing users to interact freely.

At this moment, the viewers' eyes lit up.

When watching a game, there are always points you want to focus on, but the director might not be accommodating. This feature makes watching the game much more comfortable; you can watch whichever perspective you want.

Now that we've introduced these two features...

Lu Yiming's match has officially begun.

However, none of the four teammates moved during the game.

They all squatted down next to Lu Yiming at the start of the game.

Lu Yiming turned off all the microphones.

At this point, the one-click copy knife command was pressed.

Five jeweled swords appeared above his head and fell to the ground.

That's the advantage of community servers.

You can give your teammates a knife. At this moment, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "When the competition starts tonight, all the matches will be broadcast live in this section. Players who are not eligible to participate or who have been eliminated can choose to watch the live stream. During the live stream, there will be random lottery chances to win prizes!"

Hear this.

The viewers and beta testers in the live stream were immediately intrigued.

at the same time.

Lu Zhen and Wang Jiming are watching Lu Yiming's live stream.

The expressions on their faces were not good.

It wasn't just them who were paying attention to Lu Yiming.

Basically, several domestic platforms are paying attention to Lu Yiming's actions.

After all, it is the first platform that can truly claim to have a green gaming environment.

At this point, it's fair to say that the Fanxing eSports platform is a sword hanging over their heads.

What do you think of this feature?

Lu Zhen looked at Wang Jiming.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiming smiled wryly and said, "This feature is just outstanding, but its existence means that they have ambitions for the e-sports industry."

The functionality is not difficult to implement.

They could replicate it and launch it in just half a month.

Wang Jiming felt that discussing these things was completely pointless.

The other party has already begun to move towards their goal step by step.

But they haven't yet found a way to overcome this obstacle between them.

No matter how well they operate.

They can't beat a single green platform.

Just like DanceE, which was originally the top platform, after being hit once, its current daily active users can't even reach B5's level.

It can be said that the current CSGO platform players...

Most people are eagerly awaiting the full public beta of Starry Sky's e-sports platform.

Without addressing this core issue...

Their platform can only wait for its demise.

It's just a matter of time.

Wang Jiming did not say this.

But you could tell from his expression.

Lu Zhen naturally understood these principles.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Yiming, who was full of vigor in the live broadcast room, with a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but murmur, "Do you think it was a mistake for me to refuse his offer before?"

His tone carried a hint of regret.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiming stared wide-eyed at Lu Zhen with an incredulous expression.

This doesn't sound like something Lu Zhen would say.

Meeting Wang Jiming's surprised gaze.

Lu Zhen sighed and said, "It's been more than half a month! No team or individual has managed to capture Di Ting yet, which speaks volumes. We underestimated them before!"

An FPS game.

Wherever there are even a few players, there will inevitably be cheats.

This was the common understanding within the industry before the emergence of Diting.

But the appearance of Di Ting shattered this perception.

It's unclear how many teams or groups have already announced they're giving up on Lu Yiming's five million reward.

Lu Zhen naturally had to start facing reality.

The reality is that we need to consider whether the Listening Beast can truly completely prevent cheating!
What does completely preventing cheating mean?
Previously, Di Ting had only defended for six hours, yet he was able to offer a price of ten million percent.

This is still his opinion that Di Ting simply has unique defensive techniques that haven't been discovered yet.

However, if Diting is indeed a groundbreaking intelligent software as Lu Yiming claims.

And if it can completely eliminate FPS cheats.

This means that the value of the Di Ting will be astronomical!
At this moment, Lu Zhen found the quote he had asked Wang Jiming to give him that day quite amusing.

At the same time, he could roughly understand why Lu Yiming was so confident that day.

After a moment of internal reflection, he looked at Wang Jiming, who was still in a state of surprise.

Lu Zhen stood up and said, "Don't just stand there! Contact the other company for me! I'll go and talk to them personally this time! If Diting is really as I imagine, exchanging shares isn't out of the question!"

Lu Zhen started his career in technology.

They have a long-term vision.

If Diting can prevent cheating in CS:GO, then it can do the same for other games.

Although we can't catch up with the seed wheel and the angel wheel.

But Perfect World absolutely had to get on board for this Series A funding round.

Especially while other "competitors" are still observing.

Lu Yiming completely delegated business matters to Cao Siyun.

One o'clock in the afternoon of the second day.

Lu Zhen and his assistant arrived in Changsha.

Watching the vehicles gradually drive away from the city.

Lu Zhen exclaimed, "Can a second-tier city like this really incubate a tech company like this? Lu Yiming is truly remarkable!"

He obtained the background check information on Lu Yiming.

Surprisingly, not much information could be found.

It can be said that the less information you find, the greater the other party's background and strength in a sense.

This inadvertently amplified Lu Yiming's background in Lu Zhen's mind.

Cao Siyun and Jiang Yuanming were responsible for receiving Lu Zhen.

The location is inside Funan Star Technology Co., Ltd.

Lu Zhen had briefly explained his purpose for coming over the phone last night.

After learning the news last night, Cao Siyun talked with Lu Yiming for half an hour.

Lu Yiming gave only one instruction.

There is no problem with cooperation.

Even platform shares can be exchanged or traded.

But forget about Di Ting.

They arrived at the conference room prepared for Lu Zhen.

At this moment, Lu Zhen looked around in confusion and asked, "Isn't President Lu here?"

These words startled Cao Siyun slightly.

It is clear.

He was implying that the two sides were not on equal footing in the dialogue.

This is a major taboo in business negotiations.

However, Cao Siyun quickly came up with a draft in mind.

He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "President Lu has entrusted me with all the affairs of the company. At present, his focus is on live streaming. Please forgive him, President Lu!"

The first sentence indicates that he can make the decision, while the second sentence indicates that Lu Yiming has other things to attend to.

Yesterday, Lu Yiming broadcast live from the afternoon until the event ended in the evening.

It's the same today.

This is exactly the time when Lu Yiming starts his live broadcast.

Hearing this, Lu Zhen nodded.

It's good that the person having the conversation can make the decision.

At this moment, his gaze turned to Jiang Yuanming beside him.

He then smiled and said, "You must be Mr. Jiang! I've heard so much about you! I heard you wanted to switch jobs, so I even had someone send you an offer, but unfortunately, you were a step too late!"

Jiang Yuanming did indeed receive an offer from the Perfect World platform.

However, the terms offered were far less favorable than those proposed by Lu Yiming.

Hearing this, I thanked Lu Zhen for his appreciation.

Lu Zhen's rhetoric was quite skillful; he quickly dispelled the influence of his previous statement with a few words.

soon.

The two sides got down to business.

Lu Zhenxian spoke first, saying, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you to give me a detailed introduction to Di Ting? I think it should be the basis for our cooperation, and it will also help me prepare my own bargaining chips."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanming remained silent.

His gaze was directed at Cao Siyun beside him.

This confirms that Cao Siyun is the one in charge.

Lu Zhen immediately looked at her.

at this time.

A faint smile appeared on Cao Siyun's face.

"President Lu! You mentioned on the phone yesterday that you wanted to cooperate with us. Actually, we're quite curious about what kind of cooperation it is. Diting is currently a company secret. According to our President Lu, information about it can only be released in limited quantities on the day the platform goes live!"

Perfect World wants to cooperate.

Lu Yiming was naturally happy to welcome it.

Lu Yiming's current weakness is not in funding, but in the overall weakness of his company.

As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

Lu Yiming is happy to see that allocating a portion of profits can accelerate growth.

At the same time, he is not stingy.

We are well aware that cooperative development is the mainstream approach in China.

After all, going it alone makes you too vulnerable to being targeted.

On a track where walking on thin ice is extremely important, having a strategic partner who can provide a solid foundation is crucial, and in China, Perfect World is the only company that can serve as such a strategic partner.

As for collaborating with penguins.
This is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

The two sides then began to pull at each other.

Lu Zhen wanted to know about Di Ting.

Cao Siyun wanted to see Perfect World's sincerity first.

The two sides then engaged in a verbal exchange, going back and forth.

In the end, Lu Zhen was the first to retreat.

After all, he came here on his own initiative this time.

This in itself means that he was in a weaker position in this business dialogue.

"Domestic CSGO tournament hosting rights! Technical support for the Chinese CSGO server! At least three active Chinese CSGO teams joining! At least one overseas CSGO team joining! 200 million RMB in dedicated esports funding! Merging Perfect World platform resources into Fanxing All-People Esports – these six are the sincerity I'm offering!"

Lu Zhen had already stated his purpose before he came.

The goal is to merge the Perfect World platform into the Starry Sky eSports platform, with both parties working together to develop eSports projects centered around CSGO, and subsequently expanding to include multiple other games.

Perfect World's shares should naturally be avoided if possible.

It must be said that the price Lu Zhen offered was indeed quite generous.

Although this is far from the value of listening to the truth.

But the sincerity is sufficient.

Cao Siyun looked at Jiang Yuanming beside her.

He was naturally responsible for communicating technical issues.

It was also at Cao Siyun's suggestion.

Jiang Yuanming gave Lu Zhen a brief explanation of the principles of the Listening Device.
