#225 - Shock Therapy of the Three Tangtang Sisters (2 in 1 order)
Tang Wanru raised her head, glanced at Lu Yu, who was leisurely at his workstation in the distance, and shook her head.
"When we first met Lu Zong and the others on Dongming Island, they were only four people, but now the company's scale has exceeded a hundred people. Lu Yu must have put a lot of effort into the management of Peach Blossom Colony, right?"
The third sister also nodded her little head:
"Peach Blossom Colony is going to become a large group in the future, so it's only natural that Lu Zong is busy with a myriad of affairs.
How can we trouble Lu Zong with everything?"
"That's right!"
The second sister grinned, revealing her little tiger teeth.
"Although we couldn't compete with Candied Haws in terms of performance and traffic when we were streamers,
But now we are different, we can't let Sister Yang look down on us anymore."
......
In the following days, the Candied Haws sisters implemented a series of management measures for Peach Blossom Light-Year according to their own ideas.
First, they launched a "Your Suggestions, I'll Fulfill" special session and promised the audience that
all suggestions made by the audience for the website would be implemented within a month.
Originally, this was a very simple means for the three sisters to get closer to the audience,
but they thought things too simply. The audience came from all walks of life, and the suggestions they made were varied, even contradictory, and there were even some trolls from rival platforms stirring up trouble in the forum.
First, some fans of fan circles left messages:
"Leopard Tooth Live has already invited Su Yufan to join the platform. We really like Liu Haochen. His acting skills are no less than Su Yufan's, but he hasn't had the opportunity to show himself. Wouldn't it be too much for you to invite Liu Haochen to join?"
The reply downstairs: "Liu Haochen is nothing, not even a hair on my brother Chen Zihan's head. Peach Blossom Colony, if you really spoil your fans, let Chen Zihan be the exclusive spokesperson!"
The fans of the fan circles were arguing endlessly, and then more people began to make various suggestions.
For example, some small streamers from other platforms demanded that the minimum monthly salary be increased from 4,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.
Moreover, they were quite confident:
"I've seen your company's documentary. Your employee benefits are quite good, so if I sign a contract as a streamer, I'm also your employee. Isn't it too much to give the same benefits?"
Below the post, some passers-by couldn't stand it anymore:
"Good heavens, you haven't achieved any streaming results, and you want to get something for nothing. What kind of online beggar is this?"
Seeing that this side was also about to quarrel, the Candied Haws sisters gradually couldn't cope.
As a result, more and more people began to make suggestions,
for example, requesting 24-hour live broadcasts of their favorite female streamers' daily lives,
single dogs requested Peach Blossom Light-Year to regularly hold live matchmaking events, connecting two strange men and women online for random matchmaking.
There were also perverts who requested the launch of a virtual streamer Melissa's body pillow, with a abstinent side on the front and a lewd side on the back.
As a result, a series of suggestions made the Candied Haws sisters' heads even more confused.
Many suggestions were not feasible at all. For example, the signing fee for traffic stars and the minimum monthly salary of 20,000 yuan could directly bankrupt Peach Blossom Light-Year.
......
Seeing that the suggestion meeting was about to fail, the Candied Haws sisters prepared to imitate Leopard Tooth and hold their own variety show.
But they decided to do something different, so they held an "Online Public Welfare Concert".
This concert invited several of their current top streamers, and also invited some external experts.
And they claimed that all income would be used for public welfare.
Although doing public welfare is not wrong in itself, the Candied Haws sisters obviously didn't understand what the audience wanted to see after a busy day.
The process of the entire public welfare concert was quite boring. The streamers and guests present had no interaction throughout the whole process, basically just talking their own things.
Moreover, due to the expense of the guests' appearance fees, it became a financial burden for Peach Blossom Light-Year.
......
The first two attempts ended in failure.
The Candied Haws sisters decided to make a final fight.
In order to compete for users from Leopard Tooth Live, Peach Blossom Light-Year announced that it would launch a "Gift Discount Carnival".
The rewarded gifts in Peach Blossom Light-Year's live broadcast room are all sponsored by real-world products,
so the website decided to pay out of its own pocket to drop the discount coupons for real items.
As long as users really purchase these products and send the order link, Peach Blossom Colony will refund the cash to the users according to the discount ratio.
In the eyes of the Candied Haws sisters, this event not only gave users benefits, but also helped manufacturers promote their products, which was simply killing two birds with one stone,
However, things went in an unexpected direction.
First of all, there were more monks than porridge, and the problem was not scarcity but inequality.
Although Peach Blossom Light-Year also regularly dropped game peripherals, this discount event was different from getting free peripherals.
The viewers who wanted discount coupons were all users who needed these kinds of goods, and of course they hoped that they could get the discount coupons themselves,
but some scalpers who had no demand also squatted on time, even using scripts to grab discount coupons, and then reselling them on Xianyu to make a profit.
This made many loyal users quite sad. They ran to the Peach Blossom Light-Year forum to complain:
"Why can't I grab it every time? It's cleared in less than a second. Good heavens, are you giving benefits to the scalpers?"
Moreover, the partners were not very happy either. The reason was simple. Manufacturers definitely supply goods to more than one platform.
There is a price alliance between the platforms, which is the so-called "bottom price agreement".
This agreement is to avoid price wars between channels, which would lead to the compression of manufacturers' profits,
However, Peach Blossom Light-Year's move was actually a unilateral disguised discount, directly breaking the bottom price agreement.
As a result, some partners who originally had a good relationship also posted dissatisfaction:
"Our downstream distributors are quite sensitive to the price. You privately engage in discount activities without even saying hello to us? I don't want to cooperate with you anymore."
As a result, more and more partners began to focus their promotion on Leopard Tooth Live.
Thus, in just a few days, under the extreme micro-operation of the Candied Haws sisters, Peach Blossom Light-Year's reputation plummeted across the board in terms of users, partners, and program production.
On the other side, Leopard Tooth Live was happily absorbing fleeing partners and traffic.
......
Faced with the consequences they had created, the Candied Haws sisters were both disappointed and panicked.
"Oops, what should we do now?"
Even the always calm eldest sister Cotton Candy's voice revealed panic.
They didn't know what measures should be taken to stop the downward trend of users.
The third sister Lollipop timidly said: "I remember, Lu Zong used to say in interviews that his secret to success lies in "governing by inaction", why don't we try doing nothing tomorrow?"
The second sister also echoed: "I understand, I understand. History books taught it before, it seems to be called "shock therapy""
Eldest sister Cotton Candy: "............"
Although she didn't know if these two sisters' history teachers would be angered to death, she really didn't have any other good ideas.
......
So, the next day, the Candied Haws sisters didn't make any decisions and focused on sitting in their workstations in a daze.
If the operational staff ran over to ask what to do today, they would answer:
"Just do what you think is right."
As a result, unexpectedly, by the time they got off work on the second day, the public opinion storm of Peach Blossom Light-Year, which was no longer causing trouble, had gradually subsided.
After all, although the Candied Haws sisters had no operational experience, the newly recruited employees under them were all interviewed by Li Hongmei. No matter how lazy and decadent they were, their past work experience was still there, which was much stronger than the three sisters.
The effect of shock therapy was not bad, but they couldn't be happy.
Because they found that Peach Blossom Light-Year could operate normally with or without them!
Even, if they didn't interfere, it could operate more smoothly!
Then what was the meaning of their existence as three highly paid operational directors?
As a result, they absolutely didn't dare to ask for leave,
because they were afraid that one day they didn't come to the company, and the boss would find out that it was the same with or without them, then they would be fired soon.
The second sister pondered for a moment and said quietly:
"Eldest sister, do you think that's how the director's position is supposed to be?
Usually, we don't care about the specific things, and honestly be mascots in the office. If the staff come to ask questions, we only need to answer two sentences."
"Which two sentences?"
The second sister cleared her throat and opened her mouth in the tone of a business war TV series:
"If employees come to ask about business, we can answer:
"You still have to ask me about this kind of trivial matter, when will you be able to grow up?"
If the employees make a mistake, we can answer:
"Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier, who told you to act on your own?"
Cotton Candy looked at her sister with a complicated expression.
Girl, your thoughts are very dangerous.
"How is it?" The second sister showed her sharp little tiger teeth and raised her head triumphantly,
"I saw that the directors in the business war TV series all acted like this."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
The third sister asked with a confused tilt of her head:
"Then what is a big thing and what is a small thing?"
The second sister continued to recall the plot of the TV series:
"The director in the TV series said that things can be big or small, it's not up to the director to decide.
If the employees contribute to the performance, then no matter how big the performance is, it is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the director. You only need to encourage the other party to continue to work hard and guard against arrogance and rashness.
If the employees make a mistake, 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, such as big!
You can even be like something, sometimes small, sometimes big, isn't it up to our mouths to decide?"
The third sister tilted her head even more confusedly: "Why can the size be changed with the mouth?"
The eldest sister awkwardly raised her hand to stop the second sister.
I always feel that my sister is speeding, but she has no evidence.
"Anyway, let's continue this shock therapy for now and see what happens."
......
However, the public opinion storm of Peach Blossom Light-Year did not subside as expected.
Because there was no follow-up processing measures for a long time, many partners were discussing the termination of the contract.
And many users also reduced the viewing time because of the discount coupons and public welfare concert.
For the two live broadcast platforms of Leopard Tooth and Peach Blossom Light-Year, the public opinion trend has appeared to be ebb and flow,
Not only users posted complaints, but many industry media and authoritative experts also began to issue various public relations drafts for interpretation:
"Behind the Peach Blossom Light-Year Storm: A Failed Large-Scale Event"
"Discount Coupon Storm Raises Questions, Does Peach Blossom Light-Year Need a More Mature Operation Team?"
"Peach Blossom Light-Year's Unfavorable Start, I'm Afraid It Will Be Reduced to a Second-Rate Live Broadcast Platform"
"Increased User Loss, Peach Blossom Light-Year's Prospects Are Worrying"
"Leopard Tooth Live Shows Its Head, Peach Blossom Light-Year Encounters Double Pressure from Users and Partners"
......
Leopard Tooth Live Headquarters Building, Candied Haws Office.
Browsing the various hope manuscripts on the Internet, Candied Haws was in a very good mood, her face was ruddy and she was in high spirits!
At this time, the group's board of directors happened to send an email with only a few words:
"The board of directors is very satisfied with your operation of Leopard Tooth Live and the performance achieved in the competition, but this is only a small success after all. The board of directors hopes that you will continue to work hard and guard against arrogance and rashness."
After closing the email, Candied Haws exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air, feeling refreshed!
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Heh, Tang Wanru, this girl is too simple.
The business world is like a battlefield, and simple people cannot survive. You should honestly continue to be your little streamers.
......
At the same time, Peach Blossom Colony Villa.
As the vice president, Liu Mengyuan noticed that the atmosphere in the Peach Blossom Light-Year office area was a bit wrong.
The faces of the employees were quite decadent, lifeless, and full of frustration.
Before, because Lu Yu had told her to let the Candied Haws sisters take over with confidence, Liu Mengyuan did not ask, but was following up on the development of "Super Time and Space Cute Girl".
As a result, when she went over to inquire with the Candied Haws sisters, she learned that Peach Blossom Light-Year had fallen into an operational crisis.
She sighed slightly.
Although she had no impolite intentions towards these three legal loli,
but, the Candied Haws sisters were still too young!
How can commercial competition follow the rhythm of competitors step by step?
How can you compete with the other party in the field where the other party has an advantage.
Now, this matter has become so big, it is not appropriate to hide it from Lu Yu anymore.
So, she and the Candied Haws sisters came to Lu Yu's workstation.
Lu Yu had just finished soaking in the hot spring, and by the way, tasted Fan Jing's new skills, and leaned back in his chair to rest.
Seeing four girls looking for him with serious faces, seeming to have something to say, Lu Yu suddenly became alert.
What's wrong?
Could it be that another project has achieved a remarkable success and is about to start rolling up?
As a result, the Candied Haws sisters rubbed their small hands and muttered in a mosquito-like voice:
"President Lu, we are really not suitable for being operational directors. We have caused trouble, woo woo woo..."
After saying that, they told the recent crisis encountered by Peach Blossom Light-Year in detail.
After listening to Lu Yu, his tiger body was shocked, and he was ecstatic in his heart!
Heaven, earth,
After searching painstakingly for over half a year and enduring constant betrayals, he finally found truly outstanding management talent!
He quickly encouraged them:
"What you've done is right, no, I should say! It's absolutely fantastic!
You've not only steadfastly practiced the 'Wu Wei' (non-action) management I taught you but even innovated upon it, inventing 'Shock Therapy.' This is excellent, and I suggest that all company colleagues should learn from your methods."
The four people opposite him were completely dumbfounded.
Especially the eldest sister, Tang Wanru, who originally thought she was about to be fired, her eyes already slightly moist.
She never expected to suddenly become a model example praised by the company's CEO, who even called for the entire company to learn from them?
What act was CEO Lu putting on?
At this moment, even Liu Mengyuan, who had always "accurately" interpreted Lu Yu's hints, was completely unable to understand.
She rubbed her temples and could only say:
"Lu Yu, um, let's temporarily put aside the Shock Therapy. Shouldn't we think about ways to remedy the impact of the previous actions of the live-streaming platforms?"
Lu Yu waved his hand: "No need, everything is within my expectations."
Even he didn't believe his own words. What kind of management genius could turn a perfectly good platform into such a mess?
But he realized that the Tang sisters might be the breakthrough point to stop the company's internal competition!
Even if it was just a small spark, he had to encourage it and not let it die out!
Liu Mengyuan, sitting opposite him, looked at Lu Yu with a gaze that gradually softened, even filled with admiration.
Could it be that this was also within the predictions of your multilayered mind?
