#275 - You call this an annual meeting? (2 in 1 order)
Is this stinky brat being so direct?
Liu Lan frowned slightly.
Afterward, the game played the grand finale animation, and New Afqa City returned to peace.
This live stream, bursting with entertainment value, finally came to an end.
In her office, Liu Lan stared blankly at the computer screen, repeatedly pondering Igarashi's BOSS battle just now.
Considering Liu Mengyuan was the game producer, Liu Lan sighed softly.
So, in your eyes, that's the kind of mother I am...
She looked out the window, lost in thought.
...
The audience in the live stream were still not satisfied:
"It feels like we just watched an eight o'clock family drama, or maybe I'm just overthinking it..."
After that, this live stream with explosive entertainment value once again boosted the popularity of the Peach Garden Light-Year live streaming platform!
With the outflow of the 'Mouth Cannon Life' live stream clips, the number of registered users on the platform surged in a short period, hitting a record high.
The platform's servers reached an unprecedented peak during the live stream, barely managing to run stably.
A large number of new viewers sent virtual gifts to their streamers. In Melissa and Xia Shuheng's live stream rooms, the barrage almost reached its limit, the speed so fast that individual comments were difficult to recognize.
Whether they were big streamers or small streamers, they all benefited from this wave of popularity. The number of fans increased rapidly, refreshing the highest number of individual fans on the platform.
The platform's brand exposure greatly increased, and many advertisers came knocking on the door. The employees in the business department were extremely busy.
Of course, it wasn't just the live streaming project team that was busy, but also the 'Mouth Cannon Life' team.
The live stream effect was very good, and it once again ignited the game's popularity.
The number of game downloads surged in a short period of time. The originally unremarkable operational data actually ushered in a second spring, second only to 'Chrono-Space Moe Girl'.
...
Two days later.
The 'Best New Star Live Streaming Platform Award' annual award ceremony was broadcast on Channel 3 of China Television as scheduled.
The host gave an award speech during the program:
"The ceremony hosted by our China Television aims to discover the most outstanding and promising live streaming platforms in the industry and set new benchmarks for the industry.
And the biggest dark horse of this year is 'Peach Garden Light-Year', from its initial obscurity to defeating Leopard Tooth and showing its brilliance,
to being tied for first place in popularity with Douyin and Douyu live streaming platforms, the competition was fierce!
In the end, Peach Garden Light-Year successfully reached the peak of the annual live streaming platform with a game live stream!"
Seeing the champion announced, the audience below the stage burst into warm applause!
The male host next to her warmed up the atmosphere and asked the female host:
"Do you usually watch Peach Garden Light-Year's live streams? What is your impression of this platform?"
The female host nodded with a smile:
"Yes, of course I watch it. I am now a die-hard fan of Xia Shuheng, hehehe...
In fact, Peach Garden Light-Year's product has many different aspects compared to other live streaming platforms.
This product mainly shares the lives of others. It lacks some of the hostility and instead has some of the atmosphere of daily life.
There are cat cafe owners, street vendors, carpenters, and food delivery guys, all sharing their lives.
Moreover, an artificial intelligence named Melissa can answer these questions fluently.
Of course, the popular and high-quality idol Xia Shuheng has been accompanying you in the live stream room.
So, after discussion, the Shengdian organizing committee extracted the reasons for Peach Garden Light-Year's award in one sentence:
That is——
"Good at discovering the beauty in life!"
There was another burst of warm cheers from the audience below the stage, many of whom were die-hard fans of Peach Garden Light-Year.
Next, please welcome Ms. Tang Wanru, the operations manager of Peach Garden Light-Year, to the stage to accept the award on behalf of Peach Garden Township, and please ask her to share some tips and experiences in operating Peach Garden Light-Year, please!"
This was the first time Marshmallow had heard someone call her real name on such a formal occasion, and she didn't react for a moment.
It wasn't until the two sisters next to her reminded her that she walked onto the stage timidly.
Originally, she didn't dare to come to this awards gala, but President Lu kept tempting her with a free business trip to the capital at public expense, and she couldn't resist the temptation, so she agreed.
Facing pairs of scorching eyes, she opened her mouth with a soft and cute voice:
"Well... I don't know what specific tips there are. I actually just did one thing.
President Lu told us that we should do everything with inaction, that is to say, um... so we adopted shock therapy to operate the website."
"Shock, shock therapy?"
The host was dumbfounded.
The live stream barrage was also frantically swiping:
"Goodness, what kind of heaven-defying management art is this."
"The producer of Peach Garden Township also had this style when he went on stage to accept the award at the Heavenly Venerate Cup."
"What kind of abstract corporate culture is this!"
At this time, at the award ceremony, Candied Haws, who was representing Leopard Tooth Live, looked at Tang Wanru on the stage with a complicated mood.
She pursed her lips, no longer having the energy and spirit of an operations manager.
The various things that had happened between her and the Candy three sisters over the years flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
She gave a lonely wry smile, and the thick foundation on her face couldn't hide her pale complexion.
In any case, she had completely lost.
In fact, all along, she knew that her behavior was reckless. Her conflict with the Jerry Turtle Firm had nothing to do with the Candy three sisters. She should have let them go and let herself go.
However, the temptation of a large number of fans and fame had clouded her mind.
She wanted to use the competition with Peach Garden Light-Year to prove that she had made a name for herself all these years and that she was proud, but she didn't realize that the clown was ultimately herself.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her heart pounding, but she didn't know if she could muster the courage to talk to the Candy three sisters.
Looking at Tang Wanru on the stage, Candied Haws felt like she was in another world.
This girl had changed too much. Although her cute voice was still the same, she was stronger and more powerful than before.
She was curious about the reasons why these little sisters could make such a change?
Tang Wanru always had Peach Garden Township and President Lu on her lips. It seemed that this President Lu had become their spiritual idol and guide.
Is that so, so that's how it is...
Candied Haws's heart wavered slightly.
She felt that the answer she wanted to know should be found at Peach Garden Township.
The New Year is coming soon, so after the New Year, I'll submit my resume to this company...
...
As the time got closer and closer to the Lunar New Year, the streets and alleys of Jianghai City were also filled with the atmosphere of the New Year in advance.
This day, Li Hongmei found Lu Yu and suggested:
"President Lu, it's almost the end of the year,
According to convention, our company should hold an annual meeting.
However, it's almost the end of the year, and major Internet companies are starting to hold annual meetings in droves. It's not easy to find a place here, and renting a large hotel is also expensive,
I asked some core employees for their opinions,
They feel that since everyone has often gone sightseeing and dining out everywhere in the past year, there have been countless gatherings, and it doesn't matter if there is one less annual meeting. Why not simplify this year's annual meeting?"
"Simplify everything?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes.
He sneered in his heart:
How can that be? What are you kidding me? I've been stabbed in the back by you little involution kings for a year. I have to seize this opportunity to make you explode!
So, he suddenly said sternly:
No, we are now a famous company, not a small workshop. Our annual meeting must be grand and the scale must be large! Otherwise, wouldn't we be looked down upon by the outside world?
You do this..."
Lu Yu leaned close to the other party's ear and quietly instructed the various arrangements for the annual meeting.
The more Li Hongmei listened, the more incredulous she became. She widened her eyes: "President Lu, are you sure you didn't say something wrong?"
"I didn't say anything wrong, just do it!"
...
On the weekend, the Peach Garden Township Annual Meeting was held at the Jiangjing Palace, the top five-star hotel in Jianghai City.
This hotel is located in the bustling downtown area, with a magnificent appearance and brilliant lights, showing its nobility and luxury.
Because the location is good enough, this year, Tenghui, Youyi, Mileyou, and some medium-sized factories in Jianghai City are holding annual meetings here.
Li Hongmei used her contacts to inquire for a long time and also managed to rent a conference hall in this hotel to hold the annual meeting.
At this time, in the bathroom on the third floor of the hotel, employees wearing the work clothes of major game companies were chatting enthusiastically with each other.
Although everyone is usually fighting to the death in the game industry, they are all bottom-level workers. The chat atmosphere is still quite harmonious when they are not working for the boss.
An employee with a Youyi badge, while washing his hands, was showing off the company's benefits:
"Goodness, I really didn't know that the company's annual meeting would be so grand,
Moreover, the prizes for our annual meeting lottery are very good. The first prize is an Apple laptop, and the second prize is an iPhone.
The third prize is game consoles, brand-name appliances, and the like.
This year, although Youyi has been a bit bumpy due to Peach Garden Township, it is still quite stable overall, and the benefits have not changed much."
An employee of Tenghui refuted disdainfully:
"You're embarrassed to use a laptop as a lottery prize?
Our project team directly draws a car!
If you don't want a car, you can also exchange it for cash at a discounted price.
Although it's a Wuling Mini, it's still worth fifty or sixty thousand, so tell me if it's cool or not.
Moreover, we also have various literary performances, and there are plenty of beauties to watch!
Many employees from other small companies passing by were also frightened by this battle.
I heard them all saying: As expected of Tenghui, big spender."
At this moment, the third employee entered the bathroom. He was wearing a Mileyou badge.
He heard the discussion of the first two and sneered:
Your annual meetings are actually unfair. Whether you can win good things depends entirely on luck.
But we are different. We have something called a sunshine award.
Everyone, if they go up to draw a prize and don't win anything, then they will get a guaranteed 1800 yuan red envelope as a inclusive measure...
This is our company's first!
At this time, Zhang Fan came out of the bathroom. He also heard the chat of these three, and his nostrils couldn't help but hum slightly, showing a dismissive attitude, and sneering.
Because of his mohawk head, everyone didn't dare to provoke him on the spot. After he left, they began to chatter and discuss:
Tenghui employee: "Needless to say, this kid must be jealous."
Youyi employee:
"Hey, I think this mohawk head looks a bit familiar, like an employee of Peach Garden Township.
That's right, I remember, we had dealings at the EASTJOY exhibition before, it seems to be this kid!"
Hearing that he was an employee of Peach Garden Township, the Mileyou employee couldn't sit still either:
"That's just right, anyway, we're idle, let's go and watch the annual meeting of Peach Garden Township.
There are rumors in the market that Peach Garden Township's internal management is extremely chaotic and its work discipline is very loose, so so many heaven-defying and abstract employees have been born.
This annual meeting will definitely have a very unique style, we must take a good look at their jokes!"
A few minutes later, they followed Zhang Fan and quietly came to the annual meeting hall of Peach Garden Township.
First of all, they saw a conference gift box on the table for each employee attending the annual meeting.
"It's probably something cheap like nail clippers, notebooks, and thermos cups, our company also sends them."
The Tenghui employee said halfway through his words when he saw a Peach Garden Township employee opening the gift box,
Inside was actually a top-of-the-line flagship mobile phone!
Moreover, after opening it, it was a Peach Garden Township exclusive customized version, with the Peach Garden Township LOGO engraved inside.
The Youyi employee was stunned:
"This should be the prize, right? It's being distributed so early, then what's the point of the annual meeting?"
At this time, Lu Yu took the stage. After a simple greeting, he said:
"I know that many company bosses like to engage in long and smelly year-end summaries at the annual meeting.
It can make the people below the stage drowsy and lose their appetite.
In fact, this kind of behavior is just the self-indulgence of these bosses.
So, we don't do this.
Today's first task is to eat well. The chef of this hotel is a friend of our Teacher Fan Jing.
When he heard that we were holding an annual meeting, he volunteered to cook himself.
After eating, we won't be long-winded, we'll directly start the lottery, and after the lottery, everyone will go back to their homes and have a good year."
The employees of Peach Garden Township below the stage were stunned for a moment, and then burst into thunderous applause.
"Good!"
"President Lu is mighty!"
"It's either eating or playing, which is very much in line with our President Lu's style, hahaha!"
The employees of the other companies, hearing this, couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they didn't admit it, each of them had come out on the pretext of going to the bathroom because their bosses were talking endlessly at the annual meeting and they couldn't stand it. So they were a little envious of the annual meeting atmosphere and the un-narcissistic boss here.
Soon, the waiters began to serve the dishes.
Chinese food, Western food, cold dishes, all kinds of dishes were available, and each employee's round table was filled with a large table.
Seeing these dishes, the surrounding Tenghui employees were stunned again:
"Goodness, how is it that the grade of the dishes is different in the same hotel? Compared with here, what we eat is simply the quality of a fly restaurant."
Mileyou employee: "Maybe the boss of this company is willing to spend more budget?"
Youyi's employee said sourly: "Heh, I knew he would do these superficial projects. It would be better to give employees more year-end bonuses with this money."
While everyone was feasting, Lu Yu took the microphone and stepped onto the stage:
"Ahem, everyone quiet down. Next is the lottery draw."
Yao Jun in the audience asked, "President Lu, isn't there a mobile phone on the table? Why is there a lottery draw?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "This mobile phone is just an appetizer for this annual meeting. It's a small gift for attending. The formal lottery is still behind."
The employees of other companies were directly shocked.
Damn? Such a high-end mobile phone is just an appetizer?
Immediately afterward, the prize list of this annual meeting was displayed on the big screen on the stage.
Fifth Prize: Tablet Computer
Fourth Prize: Dyson Hair Dryer
Third Prize: High-end Air Purifier
Second Prize: Deluxe E-sports Equipment Full Set (computer equipment, massage chair, peripherals, on-site installation)
First Prize: 300,000 C-Class Luxury Car (choose any brand, or directly exchange for 300,000 in cash)
Initially, when they saw the fifth prize, the onlookers didn't think much of it.
As a result, the higher up they went, the more strange the style of these prizes became.
The first prize was actually a C-class luxury car, which was much more reliable than the Wuling Hongguang that Tenghui Company drew.
However, in addition to being dumbfounded, they still tried to comfort themselves,
Heh, it's all a routine.
First of all, the higher the level of the prize, the fewer the number provided.
As office workers who have been in the workplace for many years, they are already familiar with this trick.
The first prize car, the number is only single digits, it is just a gimmick, maybe it has been rounded up by the boss's direct line.
After all, the lottery program was written by the company's own programmers...
They thought sourly, while on the stage, Lu Yu had already pressed the lottery button and started the lottery.
The electronic turntable on the big screen rotated frantically, and the names of the company's employees kept scrolling on it.
However!
When the turntable finally froze, everyone was dumbfounded.
Because the turntable finally froze on a name: [All Employees of Peach Blossom Garden].
The audience was dumbfounded. What the hell is all employees?
However, Lu Yu seemed very calm about this result. He smiled slightly:
"So, let this wheel of fortune tell us, what is the prize that the winner gets?"
The turntable on the big screen continued to rotate, and finally, in everyone's sight, it stopped on an item:
[All prizes from the fifth prize to the first prize!]
"You know, I always do what I say. All the prizes from the first prize to the fifth prize are universally available to everyone present!"
The audience was stunned for a moment, and when they realized that Lu Yu was not joking, the venue completely boiled over!
The employees stood up and celebrated with high fives.
Some employees were so grateful that they were in tears, and colleagues embraced each other excitedly.
Some usually low-key employees also became abnormally excited and stood up and shouted slogans:
"Peach Blossom Garden!"
"Peach Blossom Garden!"
"Peach Blossom Garden!"
Thinking of the various grievances they had suffered in other companies before, and then thinking of the various benefits they had received after joining Peach Blossom Garden, some people were so excited that they could not control themselves and burst into tears.
Some people were even so excited that they ran onto the stage and gave Lu Yu a bear hug!
The employees of those other companies who were watching were already dumbfounded.
Damn!
These prizes are worth 400,000 per person,
You call this an annual meeting?
This... the president of this company is really willing to spend money.
However, just as everyone's worldview was being subverted, and they thought it was over,
Suddenly, a line of subtitles appeared on the big screen:
One more!
