Chapter 611: Chapter 265: Poisonous Scheme

Returning from Jinling, he arrived just in time for the final negotiation with Panda.

The discussions had been going smoothly until they reached the major issue of share distribution, where, unsurprisingly, they got stuck.

The 360 side reacted strongly, completely rejecting Su Huai’s proposal of 30% shares.

Moreover, the management from 360 had mysterious confidence and didn’t think Panda needed Xingyu that much.

"We might not necessarily be stuck without it!"

The stationed representative spoke forcefully, showing a decisively firm attitude.

Actually, the mysterious confidence was one aspect, and there was a bit of acting involved—business negotiations are all about shouting matches, after all.

Then, Su Huai stopped negotiating.

"OK, I wish you success. President Fu, show them out!"

The first negotiation ended without illness.

Wang was a bit panicked, but the people from 360, although poor in management, had experience and knowledge. They knew it wasn’t something that could be resolved in one go and managed to convince him.

"Mr. Wang, don’t rush; let’s see how it goes!"

"See what?"

Wang was somewhat impatient; he felt humiliated as his settled decision was rejected by the 360 team.

"You’re not in a hurry; do other platforms give you so much time to ponder?"

The other side could only smile bitterly: "Mr. Wang, we still need to consider Pei Shuyu’s endurance and the development pace of Xingyu..."

Zhang Juying also chimed in, "Anyway, we still have three months until Yuji’s contract expires, we need to wait until after the New Year to sign the contract, we can afford a couple more rounds of negotiation to reduce costs a bit!"

"That’s damn irritating!"

Wang knew they were right, but still couldn’t help but curse, then turned his face away and walked off.

In every sense, he wasn’t a qualified manager.

Vice-President Lao Zhuang and COO Zhang Juying exchanged glances, nodded at each other, then coldly passed by each other without further interaction.

In this matter, they had common interests, but their regular infighting had thoroughly eroded the basis of their mutual trust, making genuine cooperation impossible.

Su Huai dared to make such a bold request precisely because he was aware of this.

Capricious Wang, his subordinates who support him yet don’t want their own interests harmed, and the 360 high-level executives wanting total control, little Panda had been this complex since day one.

But on the other hand, if Panda didn’t have all these issues, what business would Su Huai have meddling with it?

Panda was weaker than Douyu, Huya, YY, and Kuaishou, but with Su Huai’s current capacity, he couldn’t shake them; otherwise, he would have sorted this out long ago.

...

Once the negotiation with Panda was paused, there was only one big event left for Xingyu—the annual Gou Star festival’s final.

Starting from mid-month, after 15 days of long PK battles, each category had finally reached its finals.

Though Gou Star wasn’t a big platform, the event they put on wasn’t small.

Best male broadcaster, best female broadcaster, these were the two top honors in the general rankings.

Below that, there were honors for each category.

Beauty, dance, singer, talk show, anime, and newcomers—six tracks in total, each determining the top three.

In the end, 18 people would be decided, plus one top male and one top female, winning prizes, bonuses, and honors.

As of now, Gou Star had no intention of conducting an offline festival; without enough scale, all this setup was simply wasteful.

Douyu Carnival lost money every time it was held, and it hadn’t managed to build its influence; the shows were practically a joke, not even comparable to half a ChinaJoy.

Therefore, Gou Star’s "scope" mainly focused online, with vigorous promotion, numerous enthusiastic players, and thrilling, spectacular shows.

Su Huai logged onto the platform incognito and watched a lot of the excitement.

The first room he entered was hosted by a news gossip anchor Shengzi, who was tricking players into sending him gifts.

The reason for starting the session was absurdly Su Huai.

"Come on, guys, decide now. How many coins will Gou manage to spend tonight? Buy 1 for 500 million, 2 for 800 million, 3 for 1 billion, 4 for 1.2 billion, 5 for over 1.5 billion, and if you think Gou might not show up, buy 6...

6 not only cleans up but I’ll also personally pay a 10,000 yuan red packet for you guys to split. Anybody wants to buy a cold villa by the sea? Go for 6!"

The viewers mocked, "Are you trying to scam money like crazy?"

"Crying ’brothers’ but you’re really trapping bros!"

"Gou can’t show up? Genius betting setup."

"Your talent is usually zero, but it bursts out when you betray your bros!"

Shengzi, thick-skinned as ever, retorted confidently, "Well, Gou didn’t come yesterday, and I think he missed the day before too. I have insider info, Gou’s been crazy busy recently, he might really not care about this lousy competition!"

As soon as he finished, option 6 started to sharply rise as many took the gamble.

At that moment, a comment flew across the top of the screen: "A petty guild account, how could he miss such an important event? Busy? He’s busy fucking your Goddess Yu!"

Suddenly, Shengzi’s expression froze.

The one who sent the comment was also a legendary account who had spent money there, wearing their fan badge, considered a big brother.

You simply can’t offend a big brother, but he also didn’t want to offend Gou.

But since a legendary account had started it, the rhythm instantly picked up, and numerous Turbid Dog or Yuji haters followed suit.

"Someone doesn’t know Turbid Dog is Xingyu’s guild account? I’m dying of laughter!"

"Ah? Really? Is that true?"

"Until now, billions have been spent, has even a penny gone to other broadcasters outside?"
