Chapter 93 High income in the early stage of the industry
YY Voice started out as a service, relying not only on gamers who need it for real-time communication, but also on its popular voice channels.

Among these voice channels, 2080 is the most popular and has extremely high popularity.

In the early days, voice channels were just small circles spontaneously formed by users who were tired of playing games, where they sang and chatted.

But as more and more people participated, the channel gradually became professionalized and formal managers emerged.

Qingcai, the founder of Channel 2080, is the manager of the channel and also the president of Guild 2080.

Under his operation, the popularity of Channel 2080 is getting higher and higher, with hundreds of thousands of viewers every day listening to grassroots singers singing and chatting on the mic.

As more and more singers emerged, competition arose among them, and a mature "artist performance-profit" system evolved.

When a singer is singing on the mic, viewers in the channel can support their favorite singer by sending gifts.

Some popular singers can also earn some income by sharing these gifts.

When Qin Qiang entered the channel, a singer was singing.

Most of the singers' names have the prefix 2080, but some do not have the prefix and are grassroots singers.

The appearance of the king account Haoqiang quickly attracted the attention of many people in the channel.

Zhang Yang's entrance reminder made it difficult for everyone to ignore his presence.

The channel host didn't even bother to pay attention to the singer who was singing and just started singing.

"Oh my god! Is this the legendary king? Welcome our powerful brother to 2080! Brothers! Let's give him a round of applause!"

Listening to the host's voice that sounded like he was hosting a wedding, Lu Feng glanced at Qin Qiang.

Qin Qiang was grinning.

Obviously, he has begun to adapt to this kind of rich role.

Retracting his gaze, Lu Feng looked at the singer on the microphone. It was an account called "Nani" without a prefix. From the voice he just heard, it was a girl.

Although she was soon interrupted by the host, after listening to a few sentences, Lu Feng felt that the girl sang very well.

Patting Qin Qiang on the shoulder, Lu Feng signaled: "Let her sing."

Qin Qiang immediately typed on the public screen: "Let her sing."

The host did not dare to neglect the king's request and immediately signaled the interrupted singer to continue the performance.

The singer named "Nani" returned to the microphone, said thank you, and continued singing.

Listening to her slightly immature but somewhat familiar singing, Lu Feng gradually formed some impression.

This "Nani" seems to be the one called Erke, right?
Patting Qin Qiang on the shoulder, Lu Feng indicated: "Give gifts, 1314 per group, keep giving."

"it is good."

After spending 12 yuan, Qin Qiang no longer felt as bad about spending money as he did at the beginning.

Anyway, it's Lu Feng who is spending the money, so just swipe it when he tells you to.

Following Lu Feng's request, Qin Qiang started to spend money in the channel.

1314 Each group of lipsticks, perfumes, necklaces, and diamond rings seemed to be free of charge, and they were swiped one after another, occupying the entire public screen.

The viewers in the channel were also very excited and left comments one after another, marveling that there are such stupid and rich people in the world.

The singers who are still queuing up to go on stage are even more eager, trying every way to contact the management, wanting to go on stage as soon as possible so that Brother Haoqiang can see them and give them some gifts.

It's not every day you meet such a rich guy!

In fact, at this time, even for YY’s largest channel like 2080, the income from gifts is very limited.

The vast majority of viewers give gifts worth 1 cents, and gifts worth more than 1 dollar are rare.

These singers actually don’t make much money just from gift income.

Someone has revealed his income. Zhong, the top popular anchor of 2080, earns about 2 yuan per month.

His income level ranks third in the entire live streaming industry.

Before him, there were only two people, namely Du Yao and Mo Yan, who were touted as representatives of internet anchors by the mainstream media.

In other words, across the country, as long as your monthly income from live streaming reaches more than 2, you will be among the top three in the entire industry.

In today's society where the average salary is two to three thousand, a monthly income of 2 is already considered a high income.

But compared with the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars earned by the top anchors in later generations, today's anchors really don't make much money.

Especially for those grassroots singers who queue up to sing, their income is even more pitiful.

Most of them may only earn a few hundred yuan after working hard and staying up late to sing for a month, which is not enough to support themselves. They can only do it as a hobby and part-time job. In comparison, the 5000 yuan base salary that Lu Feng offers to his anchors is already the highest salary in the industry.

"Nani" sang a song for more than 3 minutes, and Qin Qiang's gift also took more than 3 minutes.

After a song was over, the singers on the microphone line all went crazy, scrambling to get on the microphone.

In just over 3 minutes, Brother Haoqiang has already given away gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan!

Even if half is taken by the platform and the other half by the guild, the singer can still earn more than 2,000 yuan.

Earning two thousand yuan for singing a song is equivalent to some people’s monthly salary!

As a result, all the singers on Channel 2080 started to stir, and singers and managers from other channels also came to the scene.

Viewers from other channels and the live broadcast section also rushed over after hearing the news.

"There's a super-rich guy throwing money around in 2080! Come and see!"

Many people even stopped playing the game halfway through and just ran over to watch the fun.

All of a sudden, the number of people online in channel 2080 began to soar rapidly, soon breaking the historical record and then exceeding 100 million+!

With more than a million people online at the same time, it quickly attracted the platform's attention.

At the same time, at Huya, which had just moved into Guangzhou Creative Park three months ago, the overtime staff discovered the data fluctuations and immediately came to the office of Vice President Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou is the vice president of Huya and the CEO of YY Entertainment.

At this time, he was drinking coffee with the company's founder Li Xueling and several private equity investors, while discussing arrangements for listing in the United States.

After hearing the staff report that someone had opened up the title of king and spent money on channel 2080, causing the number of people online on channel 2080 to exceed one million, Chen Zhou's fatigue from staying up late at night suddenly dissipated.

"This is a good thing!"

Investor Mr. Chi laughed and said, "With the listing imminent, such a breakthrough is also good for the market."

"Yes."

Li Xueling also smiled and gestured to Chen Zhou: "Mr. Chen, please make arrangements and publish a few articles tomorrow to promote it."

"clear."

Chen Zhou nodded.

Before going public, any positive news may boost the company's stock price and must be utilized vigorously.

This good news reassured investors who were originally worried about market feedback.

After chatting for a while, the investor said goodbye and left.

After seeing off the investors, Li Xueling called Chen Zhou aside and asked, "Are the users who opened King ours?"

"No, you said last time that the gain would not outweigh the loss, so I didn't arrange it."

“That’s a real user.”

Li Xueling's face showed a little more confidence: "I know that the potential of online entertainment consumption is huge. There are many rich people in China. As long as we provide them with a way to consume, they can afford it."

“There is definitely a lot of potential.”

Chen Zhou agreed with a smile.

Li Xueling smiled complacently and ordered: "Go and contact this user. We need to find a way to keep this high-net-worth user."

But Chen Zhou didn't agree after hearing this: "I don't think it's good to contact them in an official capacity, it will ruin the user experience.

I think it is more appropriate to let the guild contact them, we should not contact users directly."

"That's true."

Li Xueling frowned as he pondered, "But Mr. Chen, do you think that the influence of these guilds is a bit too great?

They use our platform to control users in disguise, which is a risk for us!"

Chen Zhou agreed: "I have also thought about this issue. Recently, I have been thinking about whether we can strengthen our cooperation with these guilds. It would be better if we can acquire shares to control them, or sign some agreements that are beneficial to us. This will be safer for us."

"OK."

Li Xueling agreed: "You should do this as soon as possible. The company is about to go public, and we cannot let investors doubt our control over the platform."

"Understood. I'll go talk to you as soon as possible."
