Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

"Yes! That's great! I've made it to the offline tournament!"

Zhang Yan jumped up from her seat excitedly and walked around the room.

The competition process was indeed tense, exciting, and intense. After all, those who could enter the online competition were outstanding players selected from the layers of pre-selection. These people's driving skills were not bad. Most of the time, whether they could advance depended on the performance of the scene and the strength of their psychological quality.

The good thing was that Zhang Yan was usually hardworking and had a solid foundation. She was in a very good state today. Thus, she successfully stood out among the pre-selection players and obtained the good results of number nine on the line.

One had to know that there was no distinction between professional teams and amateur teams in the online competition stage. Some professional racing drivers had also participated.

Zhang Yan was pleasantly surprised to be ranked ninth and successfully advance to the offline tournament!

The audience in the live-stream was also enjoying watching it. The popularity of the discussion had reached its peak!

"I enjoyed watching the competition. I didn't expect everyone to be real car gods. I was so nervous."

"I've seen some real racing competitions on television previously, but I feel that the viewing pleasure is not as good as this online competition?"

"This is the change brought by the development of live-stream technology! Real racing competitions are actually much more exciting and exciting than this. Their technical level is also much higher, but the technology of live-streaming cannot keep up. It's just an external perspective and an internal perspective. Everyone can only see the scene of the racing car flying past, but they can't see the details of how the driver operates."

"Indeed, with so many details missing, the viewing pleasure would definitely be greatly reduced."

"The new technology for Bunny Tail Live-Stream is still something. Not only can it show all the details of the racing drivers' operations, but it can also provide the audience with a more detailed viewing experience through various perspectives and detailed data. It is precisely these details that push the excitement of the online competition to a new height!"

"I observed carefully and realized that many players are very good. They are not much different from professional racing drivers in the details of their operations. Don't tell me that players will counterattack professional players in the offline tournament later on?"

"That shouldn't be possible. After all, professional players are concerned about this. No matter how similar a racing car in reality is to a racing car in the game, there is still a world of difference."

"Who knows? At that time, there will be special coaches to guide them. Perhaps some hidden genius players will be able to stand out."

The viewers on the bullet screen comments were all very excited. It was as if the one who had similar results as the professional players on the virtual field was not the streamer, but himself.

Zhang Yan walked around the room happily before returning to her seat.

That was because there was still the warm-up and post-match interview.

The host enthusiastically introduced the next online competition event to all the audience: Just as had been arranged previously, this offline competition would invite some professional racing trainers to guide all the players for a month.

The competition would be divided into a professional team and an amateur team. The players in these two teams had different foundations. Naturally, their teaching methods would be different.

The goal of the amateur team was to transfer the skills in the game as much as possible from these simulators to reality. The professional team would definitely train something more advanced directly.

During this month, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would live-stream the training process and a few simulation competitions. The video after the live-stream would be edited and released on Aili Island's website.

The recording and specific data of every player in the competition would also be sent to the live-stream and game. All viewers could download it freely and put it in the game to study it carefully.

It could be said that the competition this time had completely cleared both online and offline. It was a test for the new function of Bunny Tail Live-Stream!

Old viewers could tell that this gameplay was actually similar to GOG's competition model at that time. They were both deeply integrating the functions of the live-stream platform and the game, providing more details to the audience.

This was obviously different from the core competitiveness of other gaming platforms.

Next was the interview segment.

The competition this time had received a lot of attention from the media during the pre-selection period. There were also a few more influential media this time who had arranged for a phone interview in advance.

Amongst them, Zhang Yan was a female player who had never come into contact with racing cars. Her performance in the live-stream had already attracted many people's attention. She had obtained an outstanding ranking in this competition. It could be said that the heavens rewarded hardworkers. Naturally, she had to be interviewed.

The host asked relatively conventional questions. Zhang Yan was also prepared and briefly explained her mental journey.

From his passion for racing to not being able to pursue dreams because of his family's lack of support, to constantly training his skills through games and finally obtaining this precious opportunity.

Such a torturous experience made the host sigh. It also showed the importance of this competition to ordinary people who could not afford to play racing and burn money.

After that, the host interviewed the other winners. Everyone's situation was different, but their thoughts were similar.

Many people like Zhang Yan wanted to learn about racing, but the threshold for racing was too high, so they could only bury this dream temporarily at the bottom of their hearts.

The Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator had provided them with a highly simulated and realistic training environment. This competition had also provided them with a stage to show themselves. Thus, they were very excited and wanted to take this opportunity to prove that they could pursue their dreams.

As for the professional players, they still gave high praises for this competition even though they had successfully entered the industry.

To them, simulator training was a very important part of daily training. This competition had made them get to know many friends with similar aspirations. It had also given them, professional players who looked isolated from ordinary people, opportunities to interact more with ordinary people. At the same time, this competition was also a popularization of racing sports.

All in all, this competition was a huge success!

In the last segment, the journalist interviewed Qiao Liang. As the substitute person-in-charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the organizer of this competition, Qiao Liang definitely had to say something.

However, Qiao Liang did not know that the journalist had come prepared for his interview.

…

At the same time, in Shanghai.

Wolf Fang live-stream headquarters.

Vice-President Zhu Yan was also watching the live-stream of the competition.

When he heard that he was going to interview Qiao Liang, he put down his work and listened intently.

The host first asked a few conventional questions before changing the topic and asking, "We noticed that Bunny Tail Live-Stream has its unique advantages and characteristics compared to other live-stream platforms. However, it is still in a relatively weak position in terms of market share."

"I heard that Waiwai Live-Stream and Wolf Fang Live-Stream have been constantly launching poaching wars recently? Bunny Tail Live-Stream has been the most affected. Many newly popular live-streamers have been poached. What do you think about this?"

"If the competition between the three platforms becomes more and more intense in the future, could Bunny Tail Live-Stream prohibit the other two platforms from live-streaming Tengda Games to ensure their advantageous position?"

Qiao Liang was stunned and instinctively did not want to answer.

What was this journalist doing? She had no EQ at all. Why was she asking such a question?

However, on further thought, Boss Pei had just told him how to answer such a question yesterday. That was a good opportunity.

"Our live-stream platform will not prohibit other platforms from live-streaming Tengda Games. Instead, we will use upright methods to win this competition."

"Bunny Tail Live-Stream has always resolutely provided high-quality live-stream content to the audience. It provides a warm platform for the host. We only need to be good ourselves. We don't care what other platforms do."

Zhu Yan frowned slightly as he listened to the interview in the live-stream. His expression was filled with surprise.

Of course, he had also been paying attention to the competition on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. What's more, the new technologies and gameplay displayed by Bunny Tail Live-Stream made him very nervous.

However, he did not expect Qiao Liang to give such a clear answer!

Zhu Yan had already spoken to her before she started the interview, asking her to ask this question.

That was because Zhu Yan wanted to test the true attitude of Bunny Tail Live-Stream!

Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream might have started to secretly poach the live-streamers of Bunny Tail Live-Stream but the two platforms did not dare to make too big a fuss, afraid that they would anger Boss Pei. Both sides would completely fall out and the scene would become very ugly.

Wolf Fang's live-stream was a pillar. Many big streamers were counting on GOG to survive. Once they fell out with Tengda, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, Zhu Yan wanted to use this opportunity to interview the person-in-charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream to obtain some information.

Zhu Yan guessed that the other party would probably not shut up. Even if they did not intend to use this method, they would still retain the most basic deterrent.

However, even some ambiguous answers had some reference value. It could reflect the true attitude of the upper echelons of Tengda to a certain extent.

However, Zhu Yan did not expect such a clear answer!

This was almost equivalent to guaranteeing that no matter what the live-stream platforms fought, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not take revenge by prohibiting other platforms from live-streaming Tengda Games.

If other companies had said these things, he would not have paid much attention. After all, these companies rarely kept their word. As long as they did not put it on paper, they could overturn it at any time.

This was also a characteristic of Western business society: The so-called contract spirit meant that once it was written on paper, it had to be followed. In other words, if it was not written on paper, they could deny it at will. No one could take it seriously.

However, Tengda was a special company. It had always kept its word. As long as it made some promises in front of the public, it would definitely abide by them in the future.

"In other words, Tengda really doesn't intend to use this method to restrict Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream?"

"Should I say that Boss Pei is too confident or that Boss Pei is too arrogant?"

"If we don't make use of the advantage in terms of game content, how can Bunny Tail Live-Stream compete with Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream? Just the rule that we have to learn for an hour has already dissuaded most viewers."

"Boss Pei is also a very strange person. Bunny Tail Live-Stream obviously has so many powerful resources, but Boss Pei did not make full use of them. Instead, he restrained himself."

"However, this is a good thing for us."

"Bunny Tail Live-Stream still has one last unique advantage. It can combine live-stream and game content in depth. Whether it's the viewing system that was released previously or the deep connection between live-stream content and game content now, they are actually walking this path."

"Other live-stream platforms cannot achieve this."

"In other words, we cannot let our guard down against Bunny Tail Live-Stream. We still have to kill it as much as possible. However, the way to kill it is not to compete with it in terms of advantage, but to think of ways to attack its weakness."

"Yes, we can try to poach more people!"

Zhu Yan finally made up his mind after hearing Tengda's words.

He had to try his best to monopolize the benefits of live-streaming platforms. He had to think of a way to clean up Bunny Tail Live-Stream first, and then determine the final outcome with Waiwai Live-Stream!
