#209 - Headhunting for Taoyuan Township begins (2-in-1 order required)
Just then, the Candy Triplets arrived near Lu Yu's workstation.
They were holding the Taoyuan Light-Year website data report, ready to present it to Lu Yu.
The triplets' eyes shimmered, filled with excitement and joy, with the second and third sisters even gesturing animatedly.
Moreover, the triplets felt grateful towards Lu Yu.
Especially Tang Wanru, the eldest sister, was overcome with mixed feelings.
In reality, since the disbandment of their girl group, the Candy Triplets had lacked confidence and their academic performance had been mediocre.
Back then, the triplets were almost despondent, believing that their lives would remain that way, until they met Lu Yu on Dongming Island.
Since joining Taoyuan Village, they felt that they could understand anything they came into contact with, and as long as they put in the effort to learn, they would definitely gain something, which undoubtedly made the triplets more and more confident.
In a way, Lu Yu was their benefactor!
"President Lu, you foresaw all of this!"
The eldest sister, Tang Wanru, was very excited, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing the Candy Triplets' excited expressions, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, could there be more "good news" from the business line?
But he quickly reassured himself.
No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!
Look at the girls' tearful expressions; it's probably a crushing defeat for the live streaming platform, maybe with only a handful of viewers in the live broadcast room?
If that's the case, it would be a bit tragic.
Lu Yu felt a little unbearable and even a sense of guilt.
Damn it, to reduce his loss of leisure points, he had put these three young women on the hot seat.
He was guilty; he deserved to die!
Tang Wanru wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and handed the business report to Lu Yu.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, don't worry, even if the live streaming platform completely fails..."
Lu Yu said halfway, then glanced at the data report.
He was instantly stunned, completely frozen in place, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, his jaw almost dropping to the floor.
He closed the folder, took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes, and then reopened the report.
Taoyuan Mirage had been online for a week, attracting 20,000 registered streamers, and the number of active registered users had exceeded 10 million.
He was struck by lightning, stunned on the spot, as if his whole world had lost its color...
In the vast office area, Lu Yu stared at the eye-catching data of 10 million active users, motionless, like a statue of a waiting wife.
What is the concept of 10 million?
None of Taoyuan Village's current game products have reached this data.
Although websites and paid games are not comparable, this achievement is still heaven-defying.
Moreover, the most crucial point is...
This live streaming website was simply a byproduct of a casual remark he made!
If he had any requirements for other business lines due to system tasks or similar reasons,
He had absolutely no requirements or expectations for this live streaming platform.
He remembered that when he brought the Candy Triplets over to assign tasks, his requirements were very simple: as long as it was a website that could be logged in normally, so that he and Liu Mengyuan had a place to broadcast.
Because the live streaming model of D Station was too perfect, it was easy for Liu Mengyuan to get caught up in it.
For safety's sake, he even specifically used the three-sister group who looked most like mascots within the company.
But he never expected that the three people who looked most like mascots would create a product with the highest number of active users?
This... what the heck...
Lu Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. He tried his best to calm his emotions and then resignedly closed the system's do-not-disturb mode.
[2 million Taoyuan Village users feel happy because they used Taoyuan Light Year, Leisure Points +2235]
He was overjoyed after seeing this.
That's right, registered users who watched the live broadcast are, in a sense, lifelong users of Taoyuan Village and are within the scope of the system's statistics.
However, although he can get rebates from Taoyuan Village users, the rebate ratio of Leisure Points is only 0.05%, and there are restrictions on the number of times within each cycle.
This thing can only be used as an add-on, and he can't really rely on it as the main source of Leisure Points income.
Lu Yu's main source of income is still the employees of Taoyuan Village, after all, the rebate ratio for employees is already 20%.
He secretly analyzed in his heart:
"The achievements of Taoyuan Light Year today must not be solely due to the Candy Triplets and the ten people in the live streaming project team.
This group of little overachievers should have formed a cross-departmental collaborative project team, especially since he noticed that the performance report mentioned an artificial intelligence model codenamed "Melissa." Technical Director Chu Xiong, as well as Yao Jun, Shao Peng, and other technical bigwigs within the company, should have all participated.
If it's a user base of 10 million, then they must have been exhausted recently..."
Lu Yu used trembling hands to continue scrolling through the system's prompts:
[Employee Liu Mengyuan feels fatigued from paying attention to the live streaming website at home at night, Leisure Points -18]
[Employee Chu Xiong feels fatigued from staying up late to deal with artificial intelligence model bugs, Leisure Points -20]
[Employee Yao Jun feels fatigued from hosting the server deployment and follow-up of the Taoyuan Light Year website for many days, Leisure Points -22]
...
Lu Yu numbly flipped through the point deduction prompts,
After deducting to the end, there were only more than 500 Leisure Points left from the Leisure Points contributed by Taoyuan Village users.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, it didn't deduct his points, and he was left with a consolation prize of 50,000 yuan.
But!
He still can't take it lightly, because the points contributed by Taoyuan Village users are one-time, while the point deductions for employees are continuous.
This group of little overachievers needs to be taught a lesson again.
However, after all, he can't expose the existence of the system in front of outsiders. Lu Yu slightly stabilized his mind and continued to look down at the report, pretending to be working.
As a result, the more he looked, the colder his heart became.
Is 10 million users the end?
No, it's not even the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning...
The number of users of Taoyuan Light Year is still soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more and more streamers and fans are entering the platform.
Moreover, brand partners are also springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are all top-tier big-name partners in the industry, and the number has reached a terrifying 230.
What really made Lu Yu's back chill was that Taoyuan Light Year was the first live streaming platform under Taoyuan Village to cross the subculture circle of games and enter the mainstream public.
Neither Taoyuan Village's own games nor game platforms had such a breakout effect before.
This means that in the future, Taoyuan Village's speed of attracting users will reach a new level!
And such a fan-attracting platform, in his previous life's standards, is simply a good seedling for an IPO. It is estimated that soon, investors from all walks of life will come to the door.
Then publicly finance on the GEM...
The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more shocked he became,
If Taoyuan Village continues to develop like this, wouldn't I just lie down and become the richest man?
Is this reasonable?
The key is that even if I become the richest man, it's just theoretical assets on paper, and I can't get a penny from the company's account!
So let's not talk about being the richest man. I just want to save up for the down payment on the house now.
Please, you little overachievers, stop torturing me, okay?
Seeing Lu Yu standing there silently, the Candy Triplets felt admiration:
"As expected of President Lu, he is so calm and composed in the face of record-breaking achievements. Presumably, such achievements were already within his expectations.
We are still too young. Yes, we cannot be complacent. As employees of Taoyuan Village, we should have higher demands on ourselves!"
At this time, Liu Mengyuan also looked at her system light curtain with satisfaction.
[Employee Tang Wanru's "Business Model Design" triggers a minimum guarantee, upgraded to Lv3]
[Employee Tang Wanqiu's "Website Operation" triggers a minimum guarantee, upgraded to Lv2]
[Employee Tang Wantian's "Website Public Relations" triggers a minimum guarantee, upgraded to Lv2]
She nodded with satisfaction. Very good, triplets, keep it up, and you can also achieve a complete reversal of your lives!
Presumably, this is what Lu Yu wants to see, right?
...
Lu Yu held his chin. Next, the first thing to do is to expand recruitment,
Recruit some fresh blood as soon as possible to supplement the Taoyuan Light Year project team. Otherwise, with the current cross-departmental all-nighter cooperation of this group of little overachievers, I am afraid that all the points he has saved in this cycle will be zero in less than a month.
After quickly sending the recruitment demand email to Li Hongmei, he thought again:
He can no longer continue to let employees get caught up in internal competition.
But, with more and more company employees, it is no longer possible for him to inspect each workstation one by one.
It is impossible to manage with crude methods. He can only carry out a more comprehensive and systematic transformation of employees in terms of lifestyle and values!
Please, you little overachievers, stop competing so fiercely. Isn't it good to lie down peacefully?
So, after making up his mind, he sent an internal email to all company employees.
The content of the email is very simple: all company employees put down their work and prepare to pack luggage for more than a month.
That's right!
This time, Taoyuan Village Company is going to do something even more ruthless, directly going to Xishuangbanna in Nan Yun Province and the nearby pastoral natural scenery for a month of eating, drinking, and having fun.
Moreover!
This holiday belongs to the team building organized by the company, and does not conflict with the employees' 3-month annual leave.
Many Taoyuan Village employees were stunned,
In fact, apart from the directors and other veteran employees who have been to Dongming Island, the rest of the employees have never experienced a company-wide team building lasting a month.
"Yay!!!"
Everyone cheered excitedly.
Lu Yu sneered in his heart. This time, he will use the secluded pastoral scenery to completely eliminate the possibility of your internal competition from both lifestyle and values!
...
Shenzhen City, Liu's Group office building, top floor office.
Liu Lan looked at the performance report of Leopard Tooth Live Streaming Platform and frowned slightly.
Since the launch of Taoyuan Light Year, the upward momentum of Leopard Tooth Live Streaming has been instantly cut off, and the total number of active users has been intercepted by Taoyuan Light Year by more than 20%.
Liu Lan frowned slightly, recalling Fan Langtao, who was sent over with high expectations, but was completely sent back to his hometown after one round of fighting with the other party.
Taoyuan Village, this company, seems to be more difficult to crack than expected.
She made a phone call: "Come to the office. It seems that I need you to take action."
Soon, the door of the general manager's office opened, and a top-quality mature woman walked in.
She was wearing sexy workplace OL attire, with a tall figure, smoky makeup on her face, and charming eyes.
Her name is Xia Shangyu, Liu Lan's close friend despite the age gap, and also Liu's Group's exclusive headhunter.
Although only 27 years old, she has a remarkable record in poaching the cornerstones of other competitors.
"I need you to deal with this company called Taoyuan Village, the cleaner the better. Is there any difficulty?"
Liu Lan looked at the night view outside the window, concise and comprehensive.
Xia Shangyu tossed her long hair, her black silk beautiful legs leaning against the desk, showing her sexy and charming.
"Difficulty? Don't you trust me?"
"Sister Lan, how many elite talents have I recruited for Liu's Group as a headhunter over the years? You know better than me. Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother can be poached."
Wang Su said at this time:
"But they recently went to Xishuangbanna for tourism and are not in the company."
Tourism? Isn't that just right?
Xia Shangyu smiled, "Usually the core employees are working in the company, heavily guarded, and it is not easy to penetrate the interior. But during tourism, there are many opportunities to act."
Liu Lan thought for a while, and threw Lu Yu's photo on the table.
"Yo, this little brother looks quite handsome..."
Xia Shangyu picked up the photo with her fingers covered in nail polish to check.
Liu Lan said expressionlessly: "If you can find a way to directly poach this person to Liu's Group and serve as a middle-level manager in the game business, I will give you an extra year's performance bonus."
Xia Shangyu took a lady's cigarette from the table as if she was familiar with it, and lit it for herself.
"Wow, Sister Lan, I haven't seen you so attentive when poaching other people before."
She secretly observed Wang Su's expression, and then smiled mysteriously:
"If I guessed correctly, this is Yuanyuan's little boyfriend?
Let me guess... The condition for poaching this handsome guy is to let him leave Yuanyuan?
Wow, you are so cruel. Sister Yuanyuan is so old, what's wrong with letting her fall in love and get enlightened?"
Wang Su was ashamed. Calling Liu Lan sister and Liu Mengyuan sister, your seniority is quite chaotic.
Liu Lan folded her arms and said coldly:
"You ask less about our Liu family's affairs, you just say whether you want to do this deal or not?"
"Do it... but you have to add money." Xia Shangyu leaned against the desk.
"Two years' performance bonus."
"Deal."
Liu Lan nodded and spat out a few smoke rings:
"Wang Su, you go to Xishuangbanna with Xia, and assist Xia when necessary."
Although Wang Su nodded in agreement on the surface, she was constantly drumming in her heart.
For some reason, she had a premonition in her subconscious that this trip to Xishuangbanna might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Moreover...
She subconsciously tightened her collar.
She had a feeling she was going to be bullied by something strange again...
...
After a 5-hour flight, the Peach Blossom Village tour group flew directly from Jianghai City Airport to Xishuangbanna.
On the plane, Lu Yu instructed Li Hongmei to announce the itinerary of the trip.
For the first week, the tour group would be touring the city of Xishuangbanna, visiting tourist attractions such as the Dai Ethnic Garden, Welcome Plaza, Manchunman Ancient Buddhist Temple, Dai Village, Riverside Activity Area, Bazaar Shopping Area, Dai Ethnic Natural Village within the garden, and the Open-air Theater.
In order to allow these employees, who were obsessed with becoming 'little involution kings,' to completely relax, Lu Yu said earnestly:
"Actually, I know that in the current commercial environment of such intense involution, you have anxiety about your own growth, but think about it, the places where you can gain growth are not limited to work within the company. If you want it, life can allow you to grow anywhere."
The employees instantly perked up upon hearing this.
Because they heard the word "life."
A mature Peach Blossom Village employee should learn to understand the deeper meaning in President Lu's words!
