Chapter 107, 105: Only Drinks This Kind of Coffee

Chapter 107, Page 105: Only Drink This Kind of Coffee
After a busy weekend, Zhou Mingyuan said goodbye to He Min and Du Jianuo and finally returned to dormitory 501.

"Old Zhou!"

"Brother Zhou!"

"Boss Zhou!"

As soon as I opened the dormitory door, my three roommates, one playing games, one reading, and one doing laundry, all put down what they were doing and came closer together.

All eyes were focused on Zhou Mingyuan, with people addressing him in various ways, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

It is clear.

Du Jianuo's first broadcast also brought a bit of a shock to her roommates regarding her income.

To be honest, as a freshman who has just entered university, Zhou Mingyuan is really a bit too much.

People can understand that if you have connections in the family, they will take care of you in various ways.

Reincarnation is an art, something you can't envy.

But how come you're so amazing in other areas too?
He's handsome, has a great physique, and is disciplined; not to mention his modeling skills.

He's an expert at card games and board games, and his cooking is superb. He easily wins unanimous praise from the girls at his villa parties.

What's most puzzling is...
In the eyes of his roommates, his dabbling in entrepreneurship had actually made him a lot of money!

Is this reasonable?

He got a few senior students to work for him, tricked senior Du Jianuo into signing a contract, and started a live stream without really knowing how he could make so much money.

That's right.

The roommates of 501, along with most of the onlookers, had already seen the gossip post on Baidu Tieba and forums.

That's how transparent the internet is.

Du Jianuo's income is hardly a secret to those who are interested.

As for the advertisement that the senior student ran in the first half of her first broadcast...
—Coffee to Relieve Worries.

Just by hearing the name, you can guess that this store may have a close relationship with Zhou Mingyuan.

Everyone's used to it.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Mingyuan was taken aback at first, then shrugged with a smile and put on his slippers.

"Hey guys, tell me, is what that post on the forum saying true?"

Yu Feiyang spoke first: "Senior, your gift income is close to 100,000?"

"more or less."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded generously, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and made no attempt to hide anything.

"The data expert's estimate was quite accurate."

"The actual turnover was slightly higher, reaching 110,000 that night."

"Fuck me!"

Upon hearing this, not only the other two brothers, but even Cai Zhipeng, who had just received a new car, couldn't hold back.

What else can I say besides "Fuck"?

Faced with such a six-pointed star warrior, one can only be utterly defeated.

On the weekend when Zhou Mingyuan was not in the dormitory, he took Xiong Yao and Yu Feiyang for a drive along the riverbank, letting the two brothers have a good time again.

While everyone was joking around, they even mentioned that when Lao Zhou came back, they would let him experience it too.

Let's get a feel for it!
How long would it take him to earn 110,000 in one night to buy this 3 Series?

Cai Zhipeng couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to.

Faced with the other party's nonchalant tone, his small, barely perceptible, and secret sense of superiority quietly disappeared.

Like a balloon with a hole, it deflated gently.

"Live streaming is still in its early stages, and revenue sharing with the platform is still required, so you don't actually earn much money."

Seeing everyone's undisguised envious looks, Zhou Mingyuan added a sentence.

"Brother Zhou, I'm just gossiping. Do dance streamers like Senior Sister receive signing bonuses from the platform?"

Yu Feiyang asked curiously.

As the dorm's know-it-all, Xiao Yu's information-searching ability far surpasses that of ordinary people.

He initially thought Du Jianuo was just an ordinary college student streamer who was only testing the waters on Douyu. But after a whole night, he truly broadened his horizons.

Those familiar big-name streamers, whose names I'd only heard of online, actually came to my senior's channel to send her gifts.

The internet and reality have created a subtle interweaving, giving people a sense of unreality.

"Give it."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded: "But it's not much, only 300,000."

The three boys looked at each other, speechless.

Is this a lot of money?
Within the framework of game streamers, it's really just a drop in the ocean.

For public figures, this is not a large number.

But this is the senior I just met a few days ago, the one who bought drinks and ice cream for everyone!

The price suddenly became heavy again.

Young people who have read the news know that the signing fee system originated with the emergence of Douyu in 2014.

In mid-September, Xiao Zhi, a top streamer in the League of Legends section of the YY platform, asked for an annual salary of 15 million yuan, which YY refused and subsequently banned.

In October, a month later, just a few days before Du Jianuo signed the contract.

Xiao Zhi suddenly announced on Weibo that he has officially joined Douyu.

This sparked a fierce competition among platforms offering exorbitant signing fees, leading to a rapid expansion and massive user traffic.

The core of this strategy is that game streamers bring a huge amount of traffic, and the signing bonus that Douyu gives to these streamers can be considered, in a sense, as a fee for buying traffic.

After acquiring traffic, revenue can be generated in two ways: one is to strengthen the beauty and talent section of the live streaming platform and monetize the traffic efficiently; the other is to collaborate with the gaming industry through advertising or publishing.

Twitch's strong performance in overseas capital markets has given investors and platform operators even more room for imagination, seemingly providing opportunities to monetize their investments in the capital market.

Young people today have no idea that this model will be used for ten years.

At its most extreme, even high signing fees were no longer enough to satisfy these streamers.

Ash is a typical example.

Not long after joining Douyu from YY, he switched to Panda TV after Wang Sicong's Panda TV emerged.

Not long after he joined Panda TV, he went to Quanmin TV.

The conditions the public offered him were not just a signing fee, but also shares.

This decade has been the golden decade for game live streaming, creating bubble-like valuations and a large number of streamers who became rich overnight.

This generated a signing fee of 300,000 yuan for Du Jianuo and a turnover of 110,000 yuan.

The air in the dormitory was frozen for a full minute before Cai Zhipeng, his voice hoarse, racked his brains and came up with a youth-oriented topic to promote unity.

"Hey guys, wanna go online?"

"I have a civil law class tomorrow."

Xiong Yao blinked, his voice filled with hesitation.

"I'm going to play support and play all night to rank up, wanna come?"

Cai Zhipeng repeated it again.

"Alright! I'll go."

Yu Feiyang put down his phone and looked up affirmatively.

"Let's go, I'm going too!"

"There's nothing worthwhile in professional courses; it's much better to play games."

Encouraged by his friends, Zhou Mingyuan finally couldn't resist.

He took off his shirt, found a dirt-resistant gray T-shirt in the closet, took off his watch and placed it on the table, and got everything ready.

"Big Bear, Big Bear! Stop spacing out!"
