Chapter 224 Making History

As expected, the Panda TV server crashed.

The peak number of people online at the same time in Xie Jingxing's personal live broadcast room reached 54, and as he continued to post pretentious quotes that spread like a virus in real time on third-party platforms such as WeChat Moments and Weibo, the peak was quickly broken.

Prince Wang urgently ended the broadcast and shut down his own live broadcast room numbered 10001, freeing up redundant server bandwidth while picking up his mobile phone to give remote commands.

The backstage personnel manually disabled the 1080P high-definition picture quality function of many celebrity live broadcast rooms, and activated a diversion line specifically for Xie Jingxing's live broadcast room No. 10002, to ensure that the number of online viewers in his live broadcast room broke the record for the number of online viewers of Internet live broadcasts.

[Who do you think is prettier, Concubine Pei or Song Anli? ]

[I am face-blind, and to be honest, I can't tell who is pretty or not. It's like I think I'm ordinary, but many people still praise me for being handsome.]

【Why did you choose to study abroad at Columbia University? 】

[At that time, the interviewer from Columbia University in China was the first to contact me. He introduced that the school is close to Wall Street, the undergraduate college has Nobel Prize-winning professors teaching, and the core courses are very challenging and stressful. After listening to him, I felt that Columbia University was also okay, so I did not make an appointment with the interviewers from Yale and Harvard. ]

[How can ordinary people be as successful as you? 】

[Your success is just my starting point, or success is an upward process. Everyone thinks that I have achieved success in the secular sense, but in fact, I am ashamed to say that I have only done a small amount of work and there is still a long way to go before success.]

I'm face-blind, I'm just average, my Columbia University is okay, I'm so ashamed.

A series of high-density quotes from the King of Force had a critical hit effect of 999+. While netizens jokingly complained about Xie Jingxing, they seemed unable to find any rebuttal after thinking deeply.

He does look quite handsome, as can be testified by his numerous female fans. Compared with his past performance, he is just okay.

As for the statement that he was ashamed, most people felt offended and cold-hearted at first, but a small number of people thought that he had a correct outlook on life, was modest and sincere.

The intense discussion on the topic led to exaggerated popularity. The entire live broadcast lasted for two hours. The peak number of online viewers exceeded 77, and the cumulative number of viewers reached 300 million.

"Fuck, bro, please keep playing for a while, we are making history!"

Less than three minutes after the live broadcast ended, Prince Wang called with a howling voice.

"I'm happy, but I'm tired and need to rest."

Xie Jingxing only replied with one sentence before hanging up the phone: "General, don't chase the little rabbit on the road, do what you should do."

Prince Wang was left alone, confused as he listened to the busy tone on his cell phone. He rushed into the bathroom and urinated.

Xie Jingxing believes that since his debut and entering the public eye, most of the media interviews he has accepted have been very professional, and the few words of daily life he posted on Weibo are far from enough to satisfy the curiosity of the general public.

Today's live broadcast was the first time that his three-dimensional public image and personality were truly displayed, so the peak number of 77 online viewers was the upper limit of current online live broadcast technology and the scale of the entire industry, not the upper limit of his personal influence.

Rather than viewing it as a record of live streaming on the internet, it is better to regard it as a summary of the past year's work of actively marketing yourself in the public eye.

Xie Jingxing didn't care about these minor details from the bottom of his heart. What was more important was how to retain the popularity and truly transfer it to the Panda TV platform itself.

"Have you recharged your account?" he asked when he returned to the study.

Song Anli looked helpless: "I only paid in 100 million, and the platform crashed badly. Mr. Wang went to the company to personally lead the technical team to repair and expand the capacity. The payment interface was restored after about two hours."

"This is a useless snack."

Xie Jingxing didn't take it too seriously, as the server crash was within expectations. Except for state-owned enterprise websites like 12306, no Internet company would build a backend server based on the highest visit peak.

"Wait, did you not wash your hands?"

Song Anli reminded him seriously, Xie Jingxing blinked and turned to go to the bathroom.

She followed behind him and continued to report the situation: "Mr. Shen from Sequoia sent a message to congratulate you. It sounds like he is a little dissatisfied with your deep involvement in the operation of Panda TV. The same is true for Shen Xin. Chen Shaojie from Douyu called her and reacted strongly, thinking that we were taking sides."

"Taihe is Taihe, and Xiyou is Xiyou. If Shen Xin has any opinions, go find Su He."

Cold water flowed over the skin of his hands, and Xie Jingxing responded with a clear mind.

Song Anli shrugged speechlessly. Chen Shaojie had already pointed out that Mr. Wang's behavior of poaching anchors from Douyu at a high price was not right. It was simply a sin for the platforms to compete so fiercely and spend all the money on the anchors.

Xiao Shen's team is responsible for post-investment services for its projects and has no stance or attitude towards this. Douyu also entered the market by poaching people from YY and Huya. The initiator will have no descendants.

But tonight, Xie Jingxing personally took sides, so Shen Xin had the position to maintain Taihe's investment in Douyu's interests, and Su He could use his status as Taihe's first junior partner to negotiate with the unreliable boss.

Whether it is letting him start live broadcast on Douyu or other compensation, it must be achieved through the established management structure of Taihe and Xiyou.

"Just reply to Shen Nanpeng, my live broadcast on Panda TV tonight is an internal decision made by Grapefruit Capital to provide him with post-investment services." Xie Jingxing poured cold water on his face.

Song Anli reported the two matters together because she knew he would make this decision, and she tacitly reminded him, "Is it necessary to communicate with Mr. Shen about the new round of financing for Panda TV?"

"Yes, but it doesn't make much sense. Xiao Wang is too unreasonable and does not conform to Sequoia's investment philosophy."

Xie Jingxing wiped his face, took the phone, and returned to the living room while complaining.

When they first met at the Dianping annual meeting, he and Shen Nanpeng were arm in arm, made eye contact, and mentioned the trend of online live streaming. It took the other party only three days to make the decision to push Douyu to the top.

Chen Shaojie's startup team, Station A, has a solid background in both gaming resources and many other startup teams that can be compared with it, but Xiao Wang is not one of them.

Song Anli did not express any opinion, but responded to Shen Xin and Shen Nanpeng one by one according to the procedure.

Xie Jingxing ran around the live broadcast rooms of Panda TV with his mobile phone in hand, and gave a gift of 10 yuan to the No. female anchor in South Korea who danced seductively. The broadcast on the entire station attracted many spectators.

[Dance a little longer, my buddy loves to watch! ]

The real-name authenticated super account made eye-catching remarks, and the white barrage of comments floated by. The old perverts all said that they were right, they were all Mr. Xie’s brothers!
Then Xie Jingxing went to JJ Lin's live broadcast room to interact and make an appointment to play games together another day. He then went to Angelababy's live broadcast room and spent 20 yuan, and took the initiative to add her WeChat as if to flirt with her.

The lecherous old guys suddenly became excited and shouted that they could add WeChat, but don’t really give it to him!
Xie Jingxing was so angry that he asked Yang Ying to have dinner with him. This woman pretended to be stupid and agreed without hesitation.

Just when the lecherous old men were getting bored, the most expensive gift special effect floated across the screen of the live broadcast room - Concubine Pei made a stunning appearance.

[Xiao Xie, I really can’t help you with this buddy. ]

[Ex-girlfriend, please post more. My buddy loves to watch it! 】

[Sister Pei, please don’t do that. Giving gifts won’t kill anyone.] The comments were full of excitement until Yang Ying found an excuse to run away and leave the show. Princess Pei remained silent, but there were still people who frantically spammed the screen, saying that the couple couldn’t wait to go to the paid session for offline interaction. They also wanted to watch it.

A few minutes later, the entire station broadcast floated by, and Xie Jingxing appeared in the live broadcast room of a famous Korean girl group.

As a result, the special effects of the gifts given by Concubine Pei floated up without interruption, just like a hanged ghost chasing his ex-boyfriend and running through the live broadcast rooms of many big anchors on the entire site, and the program effect was maximized.

…………

The next morning, a promotional poster titled "A Million Years of History, Witnessed by You and Me" was released by the official Weibo account of Panda TV, which once again made Xie Jingxing a hot topic.

Prince Wang reposted the post with the following text: [Last night, the classmate who was responsible for maintaining the server was sold by the young commander to plant Haloxylon ammodendron in the desert. The money was used to buy 99 Meizu MX4 phones for raffle and give them to everyone. In the future, Panda TV will strive to provide everyone with the best live viewing experience. Please continue to witness our growth. At the same time, we have officially started external financing. Interested investors can contact me.]

Yesterday’s popular internet memes and pretentious quotes are fermenting, and new hot spots are igniting the venture capital circle.

During one live broadcast, 77 people were online simultaneously, with a cumulative viewing volume of 300 million, a figure that many mid- and lower-tier local satellite TV stations cannot achieve.

Currently, Panda TV has only a hundred employees and a valuation of 100 million yuan. Even if similar competitors such as Douyu and Huya are included, its overall scale is still smaller than that of a medium-sized provincial TV station.

Without talking about specific projects, Xie Jingxing opened the sky with one sword, allowing all investors to see the scenery above the ceiling of the current online live broadcast market.

The prospects are bright and there is a lot to be done!
This is a recognition of the overall market, and also an admiration for Xie Jingxing, who has single-handedly ignited the market and created a venture capital boom.

Youku Tudou, which just received a huge strategic investment of US$12.2 billion from Alibaba and Yunfeng Fund at the end of last month, was the first to submit its investment intention to Panda TV.

Zhou Hongyi put aside past grudges and publicly expressed his investment intention. Qihoo 360, which was in a dilemma of either moving forward or falling behind, was struggling in confusion, looking for a life-saving elixir that would not be abandoned by the times.

Not long ago, the wife of Xiaoma Pentium founder Li Ming, Jin Yan, regarded Li Ruigang, the entertainment industry tycoon with a powerful background, as Uncle Li, and led the Chinese Culture Fund to enter the market and pursue it.

Internet companies and funds in specific sectors flocked in, but top domestic and foreign venture capital funds such as Today, IDG, and DST did nothing.

Against this backdrop, Prince Wang went to Beijing in a low-key manner to have a long talk with Zhang Yiming, and his second stop was Kuaishou to meet with Su Hua.

…………

"It's not easy to make money, so don't give me gifts, especially those with Taobao store names. The administrators should keep an eye on them. If you continue to give gifts, I will kick them out."

Xie Jing Xing operated the mouse to close the game victory settlement interface while looking at the live camera: "The anchor plans to use the gifts received these days to adopt a giant panda. It can be named. The audience gentlemen brainstorm and come up with a name."

A tearful look passed through the barrage, thanking the Internet for allowing a billionaire to call me master, which I would never have dared to think about before.

"Enjoy it. I chat with you guys about random things every day. The company's PR director is chasing me to criticize me. I won't be able to broadcast it in a few days."

Xie Jingxing yawned, and seeing Song Anli gesturing with her phone outside the camera, he nodded and said, "I'm not lying to you. Starting from China, you can really reach Iceland by following the Eurasian plate. If you don't believe me, you can go and try."

"Tencent's strategic investment team found Mr. Tang. Mr. Wang meant to prevent us from taking sides too early and not taking Tencent's money." Song Anli said after turning off the live broadcast.

The reason why top venture capital funds have not entered the market is simple: the live streaming industry does not yet have a clear business model that will lead to profitability, and the entire industry is still in its early stages.

For them, the Panda TV financing project is relatively useless, and it is not too late to enter the mid- and late-stage financing rounds, which is why many Internet companies are rushing into the market with the purpose of strategic investment.

The same is true for Tencent. Its investment intention was only based on its regular pan-entertainment strategic layout, which is far from the point where Liu Chih-ping needs to have a direct dialogue with Xie Jingxing.

Being rejected by Xiao Wang was a foregone conclusion. He was more concerned about Beijing and asked thoughtfully, "How is Xiao Wang's conversation with ByteDance and Kuaishou?"

"ByteDance is not interested. Their Toutiao video is also about to go online. It's difficult to negotiate terms with Mr. Wang at this time."

Song Anli's words were tactful, but the truth was that Zhang Yiming thought Xiao Wang was a piece of good-for-nothing, and even Mr. Xie's help could not change this fact.

After all, he knew better than the outside world how powerful the so-called "young marshal" was. Zhang Xuhao had already demonstrated it himself, and he really didn't want to get involved.

She paused for a moment and continued, "It's the same with Kuaishou. Su Hua is willing to invest, but he wants to sign a bet."

"This guy has learned bad things."

Xie Jingxing slumped in his chair and slapped his forehead. Zhang Yiming felt that if ByteDance wanted to do live streaming, it could do it, so he was not willing to get involved.

Su Hua did the same thing. He even went a step further and bet that Xiao Wang, a useless piece of shit, was hopeless and would be kicked out by the young coach. Kuaishou then used the investment betting agreement to happily acquire Panda TV.

"What do you think, Xiao Wang?" Xie Jingxing asked.

Song Anli pursed her lips: "He wants to introduce Qihoo 360, the reason is that Qihoo's network security technology can provide more technical support to Panda TV. In fact, he wants to balance our influence."

Xie Jingxing did not comment. Similar plots occurred in every project he was deeply involved in. Cheng Wei was a successful case, and Zhang Xuhao was a failed case.

It doesn’t matter which of the two Xiao Wang wants to emulate, the main thing is that he is really too strong!
Hot memes such as "Young Marshal" and "Face Blindness" were viewed over 100 million times across the entire network in just a few days, and were listed in the official media's annual hot word statistics.

The same water cup that appeared in the live broadcast on the first day became a hot-selling item on Taobao, and was sold out. Taobao merchants came to give gifts just for this reason.

The marketing director of Hermès China was very confused. How come our co-branded custom mugs are now on sale, and they are still selling for 9.9 yuan each? !

In the afterglow of the sunset, a 10,000-word article popped up on Tianya Forum, saying that the debate over whether the times choose individuals or individuals adapt to the times was ended by Xie Jingxing.

It predicts that entrepreneurs will collectively step forward in the future, and even mentions the ideas of TV shopping guides and live e-commerce. Finally, the pen turns to the pan-entertainment field, analyzing that the commercial value of "Xie Jingxing"'s personal IP is comparable to 50 billion yuan.

Then an outrageous incident occurred. Someone registered many trademarks including "少帅" and corresponding Internet sites.

Taihe's legal and public relations departments have been extremely busy these days, anxiously sending out lawyers' letters to use threats and inducements to get the trademark back.

With such an investor weighing on the founder's head, anyone would be confused. Xie Jingxing could understand Xiao Wang very well.

"Alas, too much is as bad as too little." Xie Jingxing sighed in worry.

Song Anli pursed her lips and smiled softly, walked around the chair, hugged him with her increasingly full breasts, and gently massaged his temples: "It's not your fault that you are excellent."

"Since 360 ​​wants to invest, we won't stop it. We also welcome Su Hua to invest. We have to get the main cast together. If Xiao Wang agrees, we'll arrange it this way."

Xie Jing Xing relaxed his body, thinking that Yang Ying seemed to be much younger than Song Anli, and her appearance was indeed good.

Unfortunately, he was too busy to do everything, as he had two more women to comfort. Otherwise, he could have become brothers-in-law with Brother Xiao Ming.
