Chapter 306: The Offline Tournament Begins

Wei Yan raised his hand slightly, signaling the people in the meeting room to stop applauding.

After a brief pause, he continued speaking.

“The project has been finalized. Aside from Xu Yuan, who’s already serving as the Project Supervisor, the rest of the team roles have yet to be assigned.”

“The remaining positions include one Deputy Manager and five Team Leaders.”

“The Deputy Manager role will go to Lu Ren. As for the Team Leader positions, I’ve already selected two candidates—the two team members who just helped explain the game concept.”

“As for the remaining three Team Leaders, you can decide among yourselves. Whether you vote or choose another method is up to you. Once you’ve made your selections, just submit the final list to me.”

Lu Ren had already proven himself capable by leading the planning of a game concept. His competence made him more than qualified to take on the role of Deputy Manager.

As for the two who assisted in presenting the game plan, they had also played key roles during the explanation. Their abilities were evident.

So Wei Yan directly appointed them as Team Leaders for the project.

“Thank you, Manager Wei.”

Lu Ren and the two newly appointed employees quickly stood up to express their gratitude.

“No need to thank me. If you really want to show your appreciation, just focus on making this game a success.”

Wei Yan waved his hand dismissively, then stood up and walked toward the door.

“Meeting adjourned!”

……………

Top Floor,

CEO’s Office.

Chen Mo studied the latest revenue report from Nanhe Coffee, carefully comparing the numbers. Although the income hadn’t returned to its original peak, it had now stabilized.

This recent upheaval had actually increased Nanhe Coffee’s overall revenue by over 500,000 yuan, which meant he had reduced his losses by the same amount.

But at this stage, 500,000 was no longer a significant figure compared to his current assets.

With that confirmed, he finally felt at ease.

“From now on, unless there’s a major change in Nanhe Coffee’s revenue, there’s no need to report it to me.”

He set the documents aside and looked up at Shen Rou, speaking calmly.

Since the income had stabilized, there was no need to keep a close eye on it.

“Understood, President Chen.”

Shen Rou nodded.

“Also, issue a directive regarding team-building activities. Every company must organize one team-building event per month. However, these events must not take place during employees’ rest time. The budget for each event should average no less than 1,000 yuan per person.”

“Send this directive to all companies. Whether they want to collaborate with other subsidiaries or organize their own events, let them decide. I won’t be involved in the specifics.”

Chen Mo took a sip of coffee and continued.

“And about the Sports Meeting—make it a quarterly event. This needs to be implemented as well. I won’t repeat this in the future. The format can remain the same as before, and don’t skimp on the rewards.”

“That’s all. Go ahead and get these things in motion.”

As he watched Shen Rou leave, Chen Mo let out a long sigh. Because of the month-long break for the New Year and the rush of work upon returning, he had completely forgotten about the Sports Meeting. And without his involvement, none of the subsidiaries had taken the initiative to organize any team-building activities either.

After thinking it over,

He decided to make both matters mandatory, leaving the organization to the teams themselves.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore—they could handle it on their own.

He wouldn’t be participating in the team-building events,

But the Sports Meeting was something he could show up for each time, maybe even draw some prizes. As the president of the group, taking part in employee activities was still important.

After taking care of all that,

He flipped through the latest batch of investment proposals. Unfortunately, none of them looked promising, so he set them aside in disappointment.

What was going on with these projects? Why couldn’t any of them be as solid as Pang Tao’s?

He sighed helplessly,

Then glanced at the date—April 15.

Wasn’t that the day of the Extreme Survival offline tournament hosted by the Sky Pavilion Club?

He opened Tiger Head Live to see what was going on.

As soon as he entered the site, a massive banner ad filled the screen.

Bold and impossible to miss.

With a banner that size, even someone with severe nearsightedness would spot it immediately.

He glanced at the content.

“Sky Pavilion Cup Extreme Survival Million-Yuan Prize Tournament. See you at 6 PM sharp!”

He checked the time—it was only 10 AM. Why put up the banner so early? What were they trying to pull?

Tch, bad luck.

His previously decent mood vanished the moment he saw that oversized banner.

He closed it and exited Tiger Head Live altogether.

That platform was cursed.

It was nowhere near as good as his own Boring Short Video.

………

At Boring Short Video,

Li Shen and Wu Yuan looked over the data just submitted by their team. Smiles spread across their faces.

“Brother Shen, this Academic Subject Live Stream is already getting really popular!”

Wu Yuan spoke with excitement.

Li Shen nodded enthusiastically as well.

“That’s right. At this rate, the Academic Subject Live Stream section is going to blow up soon.”

He hadn’t expected those two college students to be so capable. In such a short time, they’d managed to attract a huge number of viewers.

Looking at the backend data, the total number of viewers watching this type of live stream had already surpassed 50,000.

While that number might not mean much in the grand scheme of the entire Boring Short Video platform, within the Academic Subject Live Stream category, it was a massive boost.

Almost as soon as the streams went live, those 50,000 users would spread out across the various subject-specific streams. Most of them were parents trying to help their children study, and they were quickly becoming loyal users of Boring Short Video.

On top of that, since it was all free educational content, it helped build a strong sense of trust among the users.

As for live stream donations, those were completely optional. He had even prohibited the streamers from using any tactics to solicit tips or gifts.

So in essence, calling it free education was entirely accurate.

“Brother Shen, the related stationery, textbooks, review materials, and other study resources have all been selected. It’s probably time to put them up for sale.”

Wu Yuan spoke quickly.

With a potential user base of 50,000, this was a huge market.

Plus, items like stationery and workbooks were consumables—people would keep buying them over time.

“Alright, go ahead and list them. Have the backend team send a message to the academic streamers, and open up the sales channels in their live streams.”

“But remind them that teaching should still be their main focus. They shouldn’t bring up sales too often. If a viewer asks, they can mention it appropriately.”

Li Shen agreed to the plan without hesitation.
