You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 225: Shock Therapy of the Three Tangtang Sisters (2 in 1 Order)

Tang Wanru raised her head, looked at Lu Yu who was sitting calmly at his workstation in the distance, and shook her head.

"When we first met Mr. Lu and his team on Dongming Island, there were only four of them, but now the company has more than a hundred people. I guess Lu Yu has put a lot of effort into running Taoyuan Township, right?

The third sister also nodded her head:
"Taoyuan Township is going to become a large group in the future, so it's only natural that President Lu is so busy.

How can we trouble Mr. Lu with everything?"

"Correct!"

The second sister opened her mouth and showed her little fangs.

“Although when we were anchors, our performance and traffic were not as good as those of the Sandwich Candy,
But we are different now, and we can’t let Sister Yang look down on us anymore.”

……

In the next few days, the three Tangtang sisters carried out a series of business initiatives for Taoyuan Light Year according to their own ideas.

First, they held a special show called "I will satisfy your suggestions" and promised the audience,

All suggestions made by viewers on the website will be implemented within one month.

Originally, this was a very simple way for the three sisters to get closer to the audience.
As a result, they thought things were too simple. The audience came from all walks of life, and the suggestions they made were varied and even contradictory. There were also some enemy station's fake accounts that led the trend in the posting area.

First, some fans from the fan circle left messages:

"Leopard Tooth Live has already invited Su Yufan to join the platform. We really like Liu Haochen. His acting skills are just as good as Su Yufan's, but he just hasn't had the opportunity to showcase himself. Is it reasonable for you to invite Liu Haochen to join?"

The reply below: "Liu Haochen is a nobody, not even a hair of my brother Chen Zihan. Taoyuan Township, if you really want to pamper your fans, let Chen Zihan be the exclusive spokesperson!"

The fans in the fan circle were arguing fiercely, and then more people began to make various suggestions.

For example, some small anchors on other platforms have demanded that their minimum monthly salary be increased from 4000 yuan to 2 yuan.

Moreover, they are quite confident:
"I've seen your company's documentary, and you offer excellent employee benefits. Since I've signed on as a streamer, I'm also your employee. Is it reasonable to give me the same benefits?"

Below the post, some passersby couldn’t bear to read it anymore:
"Good fellow, you don't have any live streaming achievements, yet you're trying to get something for nothing. What's with all that internet money?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, the three sisters Tangtang gradually couldn't handle it.
As a result, more and more people started to make suggestions.

For example, asking for a 24-hour live broadcast of the daily life of your favorite female anchor,
Singles require Taoyuan Guangnian to hold live blind date events regularly, randomly connecting two strangers online for blind dates.

There is also LSP, who requested the launch of a pillow for the virtual anchor Melissa, with the front side being abstinence-oriented and the back being astringent.

As a result, the suggestions made the three Tangtang sisters even more confused.

Many suggestions are simply not feasible, such as the signing fees of popular stars and the minimum guarantee of 2 yuan per month, which can directly bankrupt Taoyuan Light Year.

……

Seeing that the proposal was about to fall through, the three Tangtang sisters decided to follow Leopard Fang's example and create their own variety show.

But they decided to do something different, so they organized an "online charity concert."

This concert invited several of the company's current top anchors, and also invited some external experts,

And it is declared that all income will be used for charity.

Although there is nothing wrong with doing charity work, the three Tangtang sisters obviously don't understand what the audience wants to see after a busy day when they come to watch the live broadcast.

The entire charity concert was quite boring. The hosts and guests present had no interaction at all and basically just talked about their own things.

Moreover, the appearance fees of the guests have become a financial burden for Taoyuan Light Year.

……

The first two attempts ended in failure.

The three Tangtang sisters decided to make one last attempt.

In order to compete for users from Leopard Tooth Live, Taoyuan Lightyear announced that it will launch a "Gift Discount Carnival"

The gifts given in Taoyuan Guangnian's live broadcast room are all sponsored by real-life products.
Therefore, the website decided to pay out of its own pocket and give out discount coupons for physical goods.

As long as the user actually purchases these products and sends the order link, Taoyuan Township will give the user cash back according to the discount ratio.

In the eyes of the three Tangtang sisters, this matter not only provides benefits to users, but also helps manufacturers promote their products, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, things took an unexpected turn.

First, there are too many monks and too little porridge. The problem is not the lack of food but the uneven distribution of food.

Although Utopia Lightyear also drops game peripherals regularly, this discount event is different from the free peripherals.

The audience who want discount coupons are all users who have urgent needs for this type of product. Of course, they hope to get the discount coupons themselves.
But some scalpers who have no demand also wait in line on time, and even use scripts to grab discount coupons, and then resell them on Xianyu.

This made many die-hard users very sad, and they went to the Taoyuan Lightyear forum to complain:
"Why can't I always grab a spot? They're sold out in less than a second. Damn, you're giving benefits to scalpers, right?"

Moreover, the partners are not too happy either. The reason is very simple. The manufacturer will definitely not supply products on just one platform.
There is a price alliance between various platforms, which is the so-called "bottom price agreement."

This agreement is to avoid price cuts between channels, which would result in manufacturers' profits being squeezed.
However, Taoyuan Light Year's move was actually a disguised discount on its own initiative, which directly undermined the reserve price agreement.

As a result, some partners who originally had a good relationship with them also posted in dissatisfaction:
"Our downstream distributors are very sensitive to price. You're secretly offering discounts without even informing us. I don't want to work with you anymore."

As a result, more and more partners began to focus their promotion efforts on Leopard Tooth Live.

As a result, in just a few days, under the extreme micro-manipulation of the three Tangtang sisters, Taoyuan Light Year's reputation plummeted in terms of users, partners and program production.

On the other hand, Leopard Tooth Live is happily absorbing the escaped partners and traffic.

……

Faced with the consequences of their own actions, the three Tangtang sisters felt lost and panicked.

"Oh no, what should we do now?"

Even the usually calm eldest sister Marshmallow revealed panic in her voice.

They don't know what measures should be taken to stop the decline in users.

Third Sister Lollipop said timidly, "I remember when Mr. Lu was interviewed before, he said that the secret of his success was 'ruling by doing nothing.' How about we just do nothing tomorrow and give it a try?"

The second sister also agreed: "I know, I know. I learned about it in history books before. It seems to be called "shock therapy"."

Big sister Marshmallow: “………………”

Although she didn't know whether the history teacher of these two sisters would be angry to death, she really had no other good solution.

……

So, the next day, the three Tangtang sisters didn't make any decisions, but just sat at their workstations in a daze.

If their operations staff come to ask what they should do today, they will answer:
"Just watch and see."

Unexpectedly, by the time get off work ended the next day, Taoyuan Light Year had stopped making trouble and the public opinion storm was gradually easing.

After all, although the three Tangtang sisters have no operational experience, the newly recruited employees under them were all interviewed by Li Hongmei. No matter how lazy and decadent they are, their past work experience is there, and they are still much better than the three sisters.

The shock therapy worked well, but they were not happy.

Because they discovered that Utopia Light Year could operate normally with or without them!

In fact, it would run even more smoothly without their intervention!

So what is the meaning of the existence of these three high-paid operations directors?
In this case, they would never dare to ask for leave.

Because they were afraid that if they didn't come to the company one day, the boss would find out that it didn't matter whether they were there or not, and they would be fired soon. The second sister pondered for a moment and whispered:
"Sister, tell me, is this how the position of director is supposed to be done?

We don’t care about the details of daily life, we just act as mascots in the office. If our subordinates come to ask us something, we only need to answer a few words.

"Which two sentences?"

The second sister cleared her throat and began to speak in the tone of a business war TV drama:

“If employees come to us and ask about business, we can answer:
"You still ask me such trivial matters, when will you grow up?"

If an employee makes a mistake, we can respond:
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? Who told you to act on your own?"

Marshmallow looked at his sister with a complicated expression.

Girl, your thoughts are very dangerous.

"How is it?" The second sister showed her sharp little canine teeth and raised her head proudly.

"I've seen directors in business war TV dramas act like this."

The third sister tilted her head and asked in confusion:

"So what is a big deal and what is a small deal?"

The second sister continued to recall the plot of the TV series:
"The director in the TV series has the final say on everything, no matter how big or small the matter is.

If an employee contributes to performance, no matter how great the performance is, it is a trivial matter in the eyes of the director. The director only needs to encourage the other party to keep up the good work and be humble.

If an employee causes trouble, no matter how small the flaw is, as long as it affects the company, it is a big deal!
So, things can be big or small, as long as they are big!
It can even be like something that becomes smaller and bigger at one moment, and isn't it all determined by our mouths?"

The third sister tilted her head in confusion: "Why can I change the size with my mouth?"

The eldest sister raised her hand awkwardly to stop the second sister.

She always felt that her sister was speeding, but she had no evidence.

"Anyway, let's continue with this shock therapy and see how it goes."

……

However, the public opinion storm surrounding Taoyuan Light Year did not resolve as expected.

Because there has been no follow-up measures, many partners are discussing termination of contracts.

Many users also reduced their viewing time due to discount coupons and charity concerts.

Regarding the two live streaming platforms, Leopard Tooth and Taoyuan Light Year, the direction of public opinion has changed.
Not only did users post complaints, but many industry media and authoritative experts also began to publish various public relations articles to interpret the situation:
Behind the Utopia Light Year Incident: Failed Large-Scale Events

Discount coupon controversy raises questions: Does Taoyuan Lightyear need a more mature operations team?

Taoyuan Light Years has had a bad start and may become a second-rate live streaming platform

User churn intensifies, and Taoyuan Light Year's future is worrying

Leopard Tooth Live is emerging, while Taoyuan Lightyear faces double pressure from users and partners

……

Leopard Tooth Live headquarters building, Sandwich Candy Office.

Browsing the various promising manuscripts on the Internet, Sandwich Candy was in a very good mood, with a rosy complexion and high spirits!
At this time, the group's board of directors sent an email with only a few words in it:

"The board of directors is quite satisfied with your operations at Leopard Tooth Live and your performance in the face of competition. However, this is only a small success after all. The board of directors hopes that you will continue to work hard and avoid arrogance and impatience."

After closing the email, Candy let out a long breath and felt refreshed all over!

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Haha, Tang Wanru is still too naive.

The business world is like a battlefield, and naive people cannot survive there. You’d better just continue to be your little anchors.

……

At the same time, Taoyuan Township Villa.

Liu Mengyuan, the vice president, noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the Taoyuan Light Year office.

The employees' faces were all quite decadent, lifeless, and full of frustration.

Before, because Lu Yu had instructed him to let the three Tangtang sisters take over, Liu Mengyuan did not ask about it, but instead focused on the development of "Super Time Travel Moe Girl".

As a result, she went over to ask the three Tangtang sisters and found out that Taoyuan Light Year had fallen into an operational crisis.

She sighed slightly.

Although she didn't mean to be rude to these three legal lolis,
But, the three Tangtang sisters are still too young!

How can business competition simply follow the pace of competitors?

How can we possibly win by competing for resources with the other party in the field where the other party has an advantage?

Right now, this matter has become so serious that it is not appropriate to hide it from Lu Yu.

So, she and her two sisters Tangtang came to Lu Yu's workstation.

Lu Yu had just finished soaking in the hot spring and stopped by to try Teacher Fan Jing's new cooking skills. He leaned back in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing four girls looking for him seriously, as if they had something to say, Lu Yu suddenly became alert.

what happened?
Could it be that another project has achieved tremendous success and is about to start to take off?
As a result, the three sisters Tangtang rubbed their hands and whispered in a mosquito-like voice:
"Boss Lu, we're really not suited to be operations directors. We've gotten into trouble, wuwuwu..."

After that, they told everything about the recent crisis that Utopia Light Year had encountered.

After hearing this, Lu Yu's body suddenly shook and he was ecstatic!

Oh, heaven and earth,
He searched hard for half a year and was constantly backstabbed, but finally he found a truly outstanding business talent!
He quickly encouraged:

"You guys did the right thing, no, I should say it was great!

Not only have you firmly practiced the 'rule by inaction' I taught you, but you've even innovated on this basis and invented the 'shock therapy'. This is excellent, and I suggest that all colleagues in the company should learn from your approach."

The four people on the opposite side were dumbfounded.

Especially the eldest sister Tang Wanru, she thought she was going to be fired, her eyes were already slightly moist,
I didn't expect that I would suddenly become a model praised by the company's boss and be called upon to learn from him?

What is Mr. Lu talking about?

At this moment, even Liu Mengyuan, who had always "accurately" interpreted Lu Yu's hints, was completely confused.

She rubbed her eyebrows and said:
"Lu Yu, uh, let's put aside the shock therapy for now. Should we find a way to remedy the impact of the previous actions of those live streaming platforms?"

Lu Yu waved his hand: "No need, everything is within my expectations."

He himself doesn't believe what he said. What kind of business idiot can turn a good platform into this?
But he realized that the three Tangtang sisters might be the breakthrough point to interrupt the internal conflicts in the company's business!

Even if it is just a small sign, we must encourage it and not let it go out!

Liu Mengyuan, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Lu Yu with a gradually softened look, even full of admiration.

Could it be that this is also what you, the old man, expected?
