The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

The emergence of short videos.

It's not just for watching short videos; it also accelerates the flow of information in society.

It has reached an unprecedented level.

Before the advent of short videos, much information was obtained by watching television and reading related news.

With the emergence of short videos, a constant stream of information will appear in front of you, whether you like it or not.

You can definitely find it if you want to.

It's fair to say that short videos have directly increased most people's cognitive abilities by two to three times.

Like the once-popular self-help books, they've become like rats in the street under the impact of short videos.

This is an improvement in cognition.

Furthermore, pyramid schemes and the shameless remarks of some unscrupulous bosses are exposed under such circumstances.

Of course, this is its good side; it also has many bad sides.

For example, a girl is about to get married and often sees videos about bride price online.

The starting price in this city is 100,000+, in that city it's 150,000, and in some other cities it's even risen to over 400,000.

She was just an ordinary girl working in a factory, and the more videos she watched, the more indignant she became.

Why can others ask for a dowry of 300,000 yuan, but she can only ask for 88,000 yuan?

Just before getting out of the car, the bride changed her mind and demanded an additional 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts.

Only then did she agree to get out of the car.

What should have been a joyous wedding turned into a nightmare for the whole family.

For example, there was a fat woman who was very lazy and rarely did housework. Every day she would wait for her husband to come over after delivering takeout and cook for her.

My husband has been putting up with this for years.

Until one day, I finally couldn't take it anymore.

Because the woman asked him, "Children's Day is coming soon, are you going to buy me a gift?"
This overweight woman frequently watched videos of relationship coaches online, and she firmly believed what they said.

To prove a man loves you, you must make him spend more money on you.

Therefore, she needs a gift for even the smallest holiday, and it can't be less than two thousand yuan.

All of this led to the complete breakdown of the delivery husband.

A frustrated roar echoed, recounting the hardships of the past years and the lack of understanding from the overweight woman.

Another bride was persuaded by her best friend to give her brother-in-law an additional 80,000 yuan as a "get-out-of-the-car gift" when she got out of the car.

Because online female mentors say this is a way to prove a man loves you.

The widespread availability of information is certainly a good thing to some extent.

However, those so-called internet celebrities deliberately create distorted views on love in order to gain traffic.

That's utterly shameless.

Because they simply cannot imagine the people who believe in these things behind the scenes.

They were just ordinary housewives, or girls from the lower classes who had little ability and couldn't distinguish between good and bad words.

The emergence of this type of emotional livestreamer is, in some ways, no better than murder and arson.

According to statistics, Tengyou Media has more than 300 emotional anchors.

Among them, more than 60 have over 500,000 followers.

There are also about ten people with more than two million followers.

Chen Pingsheng gave the order without offering any further explanation, and imposed a complete blackout.

It's likely that none of those caught in this net will be innocent.

Perhaps even these so-called emotional broadcasters themselves didn't realize how much impact their videos would have on ordinary people.

Not only will Tencent Media ban all these so-called emotional live streamers, but Xin Teng Live will do the same.

While this may create a certain market gap, large enterprises should have their bottom line and core values.

You can't do anything just to make money, or you'll eventually be torn apart by the times.

I don't know when it started, but the way to prove a man loves you is to keep spending money on her.

The question is, what will he use to support himself after he runs out of money?

The young woman wouldn't even consider this question, because that's all the online relationship coaches and emotional broadcasters would tell her.

Women are born princesses, meant to be pampered by men as they grow up.

Not only that, they also constantly spread rumors online about a gender imbalance to gain the trust of young women.

For example, as some livestreamers often say, even if you've been married two, three, four, or even five times, there will still be plenty of single men offering hundreds of thousands in dowry to compete for you.

There's no need to worry about divorce at all, because there are so few women these days.

Only men should worry about divorce, and only they can't bear the consequences.

So you can be unrestrained, and a fairy should be unrestrained.

All these factors have gradually led to the increasingly distorted state of the current marriage and dating market.

After screening, Chen Pingsheng discovered that this kind of information was becoming increasingly prevalent online, even showing signs of becoming a trend.

I'm not talking about now, but about the future.

More than 300 emotional live streamers were inexplicably banned, including some big internet celebrities.

The anger of these people can be imagined.

They gathered together and went to the entrance of Tencent's headquarters to demand an explanation. If they weren't given one, they would keep making a scene.

Signing a contract with Tengyou Media is a guaranteed income regardless of circumstances.

However, there is a drawback: the account will belong to Tencent Group.

This isn't a big deal in itself, since Tencent Media has never interfered with their account matters over the years.

But this move has directly provoked the anger of countless popular emotional live streamers.

These people thought that they could gain power by having a large number of people, and that even if their accounts were gone, they could still send messages secretly online.

Accusing Tencent Media of abusing its power, many consumers are demanding not only the return of their accounts but also compensation.

Countless people gathered and shouted slogans.

They thought that as long as they made a big fuss, they could force the big boss of Tengyou Media to come out and apologize to them.

It turns out they were really overthinking it.

The news went viral and almost made it onto television.

Chen Pingsheng called Zhang Yiming, and within ten minutes, the entire Douyin platform blocked all information related to such incidents.

He then called Du Hua, the boss of Kuaishou, and within half an hour, he received tens of thousands of messages about Tencent Media's underhanded tactics.

Everything is blocked.

He also mentioned it to Ma Huateng of Tencent.

QQ, WeChat, and other information dissemination channels related to Tencent (the "Big Penguin") will be completely banned from allowing these banned emotional broadcasters to cause trouble.

Just kidding. If Chen Pingsheng couldn't easily control hundreds of emotional broadcasters after reaching this position, then he would have wasted his life.

The people at Guangzhou Tengyou headquarters were completely dumbfounded.

Not only can information not be sent out, but even if it is sent through some private channels, it will be blocked immediately.

Without a doubt, they are being suppressed by influential figures at higher levels.

The person who could have achieved this was not Zhang Wanyi, the current beautiful CEO of Tengyou.

It will only be her boss.

Such a cross-platform, nationwide ban on hundreds of popular emotional livestreamers, even preventing them from speaking out and seeking justice, is unacceptable.

It could only be him, and only he could do it.

August 5th.

Zhang Wanyi first posted a short video, and then at 8 pm, she officially appeared in a well-fitting blue suit to explain the ban.

The number of viewers in the live stream instantly surged to over a million.

Zhang Wanyi simply stated calmly that this was an activity to rectify the group's practices.

This also illustrates that so-called relationship coaches and love mentors only pose an ideological threat to society, including ordinary classes.

What's needed in love and marriage isn't skill, but sincerity.

Even at the very last moment, she uttered a phrase that was originally spoken by Chen Pingsheng.

"It's already hard enough for ordinary men to earn money to support their families. The reality is not like what you see online, where everyone has a Ferrari."

"If your husband or boyfriend earns 10,000 yuan a month and still treats you sincerely, then you must cherish him."

At the end of the live broadcast, Zhang Wanyi announced that Tengyou Media would ban any more of its emotional anchors who distort the facts from appearing.
