Chapter 207 Focus on Positive Energy

“Alright, President Chen.”

Shen Rou returned to her studio after receiving the order, but her heart was not at peace; the scene from the last Sports Meeting was still fresh in her mind.

This time, the requirements were the same as last time, with the addition of a performance program.

There was no need to find a new venue or host; they would use the same gym as last time. She still had the contact details for the host from the previous Sports Meeting, so it would just be a matter of making a direct appointment.

What she needed to work on were the program performances and changes in the competition items.

………………

After arranging the details for the Sports Meeting,

Chen Mo sat on a chair, thinking seriously. Spending money ultimately couldn’t compare to losing money quickly.

Now that the authority to set up companies had been opened, he could completely establish an investment company to pool ideas. His own thoughts were limited, and he couldn’t always rely on a losing mindset.

Setting up an investment company would be different; he could choose the projects that were most likely to lose money from those submitted, making it much simpler than trying to come up with ideas himself.

Hmm!

This method is feasible and can be included in the plan.

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door,

Li Shen and Wu Yu walked in together.

“President Chen, this is the project proposal for the short video initiative; you can take a look.”

Li Shen approached the desk and handed over the completed project proposal.

Seeing this, Chen Mo reached out to take the proposal.

He didn’t expect these two to produce the proposal so quickly.

He casually flipped it open and began to read. Since this was related to whether the short video project would lose money, he had to be serious and meticulous; it was essential to set a solid foundation against losing money in the early stages of the company’s establishment.

After going through the entire project proposal, he sighed with relief.

Fortunately, he had read it carefully. Although these two claimed to be inexperienced, the proposal was surprisingly professional. If they handled it as it was, the short video might just catch on.

Even if it didn’t become wildly popular, it probably wouldn’t lose money.

Gently patting the proposal, he looked up at Li Shen and Wu Yu.

“There are some aspects of this proposal that are inappropriate; certain areas need slight adjustments.”

“Please go ahead, President Chen.”

Li Shen and Wu Yu sat up straight. They had pieced together the project proposal from various sources, so it wasn’t unexpected that President Chen found it unsatisfactory.

“First, you’re looking to recruit employees for developing a Short Video APP. To ensure the company operates normally, these employees are necessary, so that’s not a problem.”

“The biggest issue is that you have problems in your development direction.”

“Do you know what the core of the short video platform I’m establishing is?”

Chen Mo looked at Li Shen and Wu Yu, revealing a profound expression.

Li Shen thought for a moment and tentatively replied.

“Promoting our clothing brand.”

“Traffic?”

Wu Yu also gave a response.

Chen Mo listened to their answers and slowly shook his head.

“No. The core of my short video platform is positive energy.”

“But what does your proposal say? To recruit a group of visually appealing female streamers to attract traffic. Or it’s about recruiting popular game streamers.”

“Sure, everyone likes to watch pretty girls, but what does that really bring? Momentary joy followed by endless emptiness.”

“And games. Not to mention the exorbitant signing fees, once they arrive, what can you do? Attracting a bunch of players who love games is fine, but gaming should always be done in moderation.”

“So these two methods of attracting traffic are unacceptable and must be curtailed in the future.”

“But President Chen, if we don’t use these to draw traffic, how will the platform’s traffic increase?” Li Shen hurriedly asked.

“You can’t be too impatient. You haven’t even developed the APP yet, and you’re already thinking about traffic; that’s too ambitious. One must be pragmatic and take it step by step. Our first task is to establish the tone of our short video platform, and only then consider the issue of traffic.”

“First, poaching streamers from other live streaming platforms is not advisable; we need to cultivate our own streamers.”

“And selecting streamers is of paramount importance.”

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, recalling the things he enjoyed while browsing short videos.

Hmm,

These things must be rejected.

“First, on our short video platform, not anyone can start a livestream. They need to submit materials explaining the content they want to livestream.”

“Those who have no dance background and can only wiggle around, without any substantial content, will not be granted livestreaming permission.”

“As for games, livestreaming games is acceptable, but there must be a time limit. No livestreaming for more than two hours, and no livestreaming between 8 PM and 8 AM. During this time, children have no self-control and are prone to staying up late.”

“There can be some funny streamers, but they must maintain positive energy and not lead to any negative influences.”

“……….”

“In summary, to livestream on our platform, a lack of formal education is acceptable, but there must be substantial content. For instance, dance streamers must have a dance background and be able to provide some instructional value.”

Li Shen listened to President Chen’s explanation, feeling completely dumbfounded.

President Chen’s policy directly cut down the two most popular segments of the short video platform.

How could they attract traffic like this?

But before he could say anything, President Chen continued.

“What I just mentioned were the requirements for recruiting streamers; next, let’s discuss some functional settings for the platform.”

“First is the recharge and tipping system. We don’t need a lot of gifts; the maximum gift value cannot exceed 10 yuan.”

“Also, the current beauty enhancement feature is too strong, making photos and real people look like two different individuals. This is too unreal; our livestreaming platform should emphasize authenticity.”

“So, our short video platform will not have beauty enhancement features.”

“President Chen, if that’s the case, I’m afraid very few people will choose our platform to be streamers,” Li Shen quietly suggested.

Nowadays, how many streamers are doing it for pure enjoyment? Most are just looking to make money.

Now, not only were they limiting livestream content, but even the maximum value of tipping gifts is capped at 10 yuan.

And many female streamers rely on beauty enhancement features; if that is disabled, wouldn’t there be far fewer attractive streamers?

“If no one comes to livestream, then we’ll recruit them ourselves.”

“Just like with employees, we can pay them a salary.”

Chen Mo chuckled, having thought of this step long ago. The short video platform’s rules were so stringent that how could anyone be encouraged to come livestream?

Since no one was coming to livestream, he’d just recruit people to do it.

This way, he could also consume a portion of the System Funds.

Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?

However, the livestream content must definitely be selected to be somewhat niche and not too popular.
