Suddenly, a few days passed. The newly established TT live broadcasting company was busy. All departments were rushing to complete the tasks assigned by Li Yang.
As a transmigrator who had passed the primitive accumulation stage, Li Yang would not develop steadily like other internet company entrepreneurs.
First of all, Li Yang had the insights and experience of his previous life. In this life, he had also put in a lot of effort to learn new knowledge. Moreover, he now had sufficient financial support.
With the combination of these three factors, Li Yang couldn't take it step by step. What he wanted was to build a tall building from the ground.
On the morning of September 4th, the operations department of the company notified many American media outlets. Any media outlets with some influence were invited to participate in the company's first press conference.
If it was an ordinary internet company, especially a newly established one, many media organizations would not be interested in attending your press conference at all.
For media organizations, they would only report on things that were of interest to the public. Li Yang happened to be a hot topic in the United States, so he received a lot of attention.
Li Yang was a millionaire with a net worth of more than a billion dollars, a young man who was still in university, and a foreigner. In addition, Li Yang had titles such as Wall Street Tycoon, Foreign Gold Digger, the youngest billionaire, and so on.
Under the support of these halos, it was really difficult for Li Yang to keep a low profile!
It couldn't be helped. Awesome people would always be pursued and paid attention to. This was Li Yang's current situation.
………………
At 11 AM, the venue for the press conference was arranged in the large conference room of the TT live broadcast company.
The scene was very lively. There were all kinds of cameras arranged in many rows, and hundreds of reporters filled most of the seats.
Although the main character had yet to arrive, the reporters had already started discussing.
"Looks like Li Yang has high hopes for the company. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rented an entire floor of the Platts building as the office of the company!”
" I heard that just the rental of the office of the MT Live Broadcasting Company costs eight million dollars a year. This is not a small sum…"
"Think about Google. When they were founded, they worked in a warehouse. It's so shabby. Look at Li Yang's live broadcast.”
"What's the use of having a good office? "Google's current market value is close to 100 billion dollars. This is the value of 100 Li Yang's. Moreover, Li Yang is studying finance. I don't believe that he can still make a name for himself on the Internet…"
" Right, right, right. Just wait and see. Li Yang will be beaten to a pulp and eventually announce the disbandment of TT Live Streaming Company…"
"Your mouth is a little poisonous. They haven't even officially opened for business, and you're already cursing them to go bankrupt…"
"Tsk, a person from the Dragon Country wants to call the shots in the United States. Does he really think he's a prophet?”
Just as the reporters were discussing non-stop, the elegant and handsome Li Yang walked into the large conference room with light steps.
Suddenly, the scene fell silent. All the reporters turned their heads and stared at Li Yang, who was getting closer and closer.
Soon, Li Yang ascended the podium. He looked down at the reporters below and smiled."Welcome, all media reporters and friends, to attend the first press conference of TT Live Broadcast Company!”
" I know that everyone is getting impatient from waiting. Your purpose here is to obtain valuable news, not to care about the development of the company.”
"Mr. Li, we're old acquaintances. Don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and get to the point. I'm still waiting for my date!”A pretty female reporter giggled and shouted.
" A date…" Li Yang held back his laughter and said with a straight face,""This beautiful reporter, you seem to be a little unprofessional. You still want to go on a date when you're working. Be careful that I don't complain to your boss about you…"
" Mr. Li, stop joking around. Let's be quick and stop talking nonsense. Hurry up…" The female reporter glanced at Li Yang and urged him loudly.
"Since everyone doesn't want to wait for long, I won't waste any more time. Let's get straight to the point…"
Li Yang moistened his throat and placed his hands on the podium. He said into the microphone,"" The news that I'm going to announce today is good news. To celebrate the birth of the company, and to speed up the company's development, the company will promote the recruitment plan for live streamers…"
"Host recruitment plan? What did this have to do with good news?”The reporters rolled their eyes and looked down on Li Yang.
" Don't be in a hurry to roll your eyes. Let me finish first…" Li Yang shook his head helplessly and continued,"" Internet live streaming is a new business, and TT Live Streaming is a pioneer. Everything is just a trial by fire. Even I don't know if live streaming can become a business model.”
"Although the road ahead is unclear, our company is willing to explore it. I still remember what Mr. Lu Xun said. There is no road in the world, and as more people walk it, it becomes a road.”
" Mr. Li, we don't know Mr. Lu Xun, and we don't care about the route you mentioned. We only care about today's theme!" a reporter shouted.”
Li Yang looked down on the reporter's ignorance and slowly said,"" In order to provide interesting live broadcast content to all netizens, the company had no choice but to promote the host recruitment plan. Only when there are enough excellent hosts can the company provide interesting live broadcast content to the public. In this host recruitment plan, the company has given a large amount of rewards.”
" Mr. Li, please explain more clearly..." a reporter said impatiently.
" What's the hurry? Just listen to me…" Li Yang patted the table, indicating for everyone to stop discussing and not make a fuss.
When the scene became quiet again, Li Yang finally spoke,"" The company will launch its live streaming service on October 1st. From October 1st to October 31st, as long as you meet the rules of the host certification, anyone can participate in the host recruitment program.”
"In this recruitment plan, within a month after the live broadcast of the company, we will count the number of followers of all the contracted streamers and make a list of followers.”
"In this ranking, the company will give cash rewards. The streamer with the highest number of followers will be rewarded with 1 million dollars, the streamer with the second highest number of followers will be rewarded with 800,000 dollars, the streamer with the third highest number of followers will be rewarded with 600,000 dollars, the fourth to tenth place will be rewarded with 200,000 dollars, the eleventh to thirtieth place will be rewarded with 50,000 dollars, the thirtieth to hundredth place will be rewarded with 10,000 dollars, and the 101st to 500th place will be rewarded with 5000 dollars.”
"In other words, your ranking is also higher, and the more cash rewards you can obtain…"
Below, the reporters were all stunned by Li Yang's generosity.
"God, the reward for first place is one million dollars. That's too much!”
"The reward for the 101st to 500th place is 5000 dollars. Based on this calculation, even if I'm ranked last, I can still get 5000 dollars. This is equivalent to my monthly salary…"
"Contracted host, number of followers, should I give it a try? If I get first place, who would want to work as a reporter!”
" I've roughly calculated. From first place to last place, the total prize money is as high as 7.3 million dollars…"
" Heavens, 7.3 million dollars, that's a lot…"
Looking at the reporters 'shocked reactions, Li Yang chuckled and said,""I told you that the news I'm going to announce is good news. If you're interested, you can also participate in this live-streamer recruitment event. If you get first place, one million dollars will be yours.”
"Mr. Li, what are the number of followers? Are there any specific requirements for participating in this live-streamer recruitment event?”A young reporter stood up and asked, looking eager to try.
"The number of followers is easy to understand. Every registered livestream user can follow more than one streamer. Of course, a streamer can only be followed by one account.”Li Yang explained.
"Mr. Li, how can I get the number of followers?”a reporter asked.
"That's even simpler. As a streamer, your job is to bring interesting live broadcast materials to the audience. If the audience feels that your live broadcast content is interesting and can attract them, they will naturally pay attention to you.”Li Yang said.
Upon hearing this, many reporters immediately lost interest.
They had already understood that ordinary people couldn't be streamers. You had to have something to show off. You had to be good-looking or handsome, you could sing or dance, you had to be eloquent, or you had outstanding talent.
If you were an ordinary person without any special skills, who would be interested in you?
" The host recruitment plan and 10 million dollars are waiting for you. The public will be very interested in this information. I hope that all the reporters and media friends will report more..." Li Yang looked at the reporters below and said with a smile.
At this moment, a reporter from the Financial News asked,""Mr. Li, I heard that ten days ago, a venture capital firm approached you. This venture capital firm valued the company at 100 million dollars, and they even took out 10 million dollars to invest in the company.”
"You're very well-informed. There's indeed such a thing…"
Li Yang nodded and said simply,""The valuation given by this venture capital company is too low. I might be interested if they offer 1 billion gold. No, after half a month of development, my valuation of the company has risen to 2 billion gold.”
A female reporter burst out laughing and shouted,""Mr. Li, how can a company that hasn't even launched a product have a valuation of 2 billion gold? Do you think you're Bill Gates? Just the name alone was worth 2 billion dollars!”
" Mr. Gates was only born a few decades earlier than me. If we were born in the same era, perhaps my wealth would have already exceeded 100 billion dollars…" Li Yang did not mind bragging at all. He boasted without thinking.
"Mr. Li, are you looking down on Mr. Gates for being older?”The reporter who had just asked the question immediately dug a hole and waited for Li Yang to jump in.
"I respect Mr. Bill Gates very much. He's my idol. It's because of him that I transferred to Harvard and became his schoolmate!”Li Yang changed the topic and didn't answer. He flattered himself and claimed to be the richest schoolmate.
"Mr. Li…"
Before the reporter could finish his sentence, Li Yang interrupted him."Alright, everyone, go do what you should be doing. This press conference is over!”
After saying this, Li Yang ignored the reporter's question and strode away.
