Lin Guanqi’s eyes lit up the moment he heard about the sleep-aid streaming path.
In his previous world, this sleep-aid streaming category was incredibly popular.
All you had to do was sleep on camera in your live broadcast room, and your traffic would skyrocket; the system would determine that your room had good retention and would recommend it further.
So, the sleep-aid streaming path was definitely a great choice.
For a streamer who wasn’t entertaining, or even couldn’t hold a conversation, they could simply do sleep-aid streaming.
This was truly an excellent avenue—he hadn’t expected someone to have developed it already.
As expected, what this world lacked was creativity.
“Good, very good, you explained it excellently.
This sleep-aid path—if anyone feels overwhelmed by live chat in their room, or if they don’t have any shows to perform, I suggest you all try out this sleep-aid path.
Wow, you really are a genius!
A raise!
You absolutely deserve a raise!”
Lin Guanqi’s eyes practically sparkled after hearing about this famous streaming path.
He hadn’t even thought of it himself; clearly, more people meant more ideas.
If he had to come up with these concepts alone, he might rack his brains and still not get there.
Indeed, the sleep-aid path probably wouldn’t last forever—it might be wildly popular for a while before fading.
It would flare up and then cool down.
But without a doubt, it was perfect for streamers unwilling to show their face, or those not especially confident in their appearance.
And for sleep-aid streaming, all you needed were a few props.
“So that’s how it is.
The sleep-aid path really does sound promising.
In that case, should I go into the sleep-aid path?”
Facing this new streamer’s question, Lin Guanqi naturally wanted to answer—tell him, yes, he definitely could go into the sleep-aid path, because this well-known streaming path was a perfect fit for him.
That way, he’d have a clear direction to strive for—this was a good thing.
“Yes, you can give it a try.
Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll set up a dedicated department for sleep-aid streaming.
If anyone wants to pursue this path, we’ll provide them with some props, and we’ll set up various rooms for set dressing.
They can choose their scene—each room will have a different color scheme, since everyone’s aesthetic is different.
Having more options is always better.
The sleep-aid streaming path really is a resource worth developing in the future.”
He took action swiftly.
When Bai Ningbing found out about this, she didn’t object.
As for the shareholders—the so-called partners—they, on the other hand, had their doubts about this streaming category.
Perhaps there wasn’t much to develop here; after all, if the revenue stream wasn’t high, it didn’t count for much.
To be hesitant before even trying—that was not his way.
At the very least, you try it first.
If it truly fails, that’s his approach.
But if you haven’t even begun and already think it’s unachievable, what’s the difference between doing and not doing?
It’s nothing but empty talk on paper.
“Don’t worry about what those partners think.
Just follow my lead.
I’ll handle the partners.”
Once the plan started, he absolutely wouldn’t stop until he saw results.
That was his nature.
It was like a magic battle, or facing a strange beast—so long as it wasn’t on its last breath, or still had a single gasp left, he’d never relax.
He was always ready for a comeback.
This personality had helped him in so many things.
“You’re insane!
You’re really a madman!
To do something with so little certainty—do you think your money blows in on the wind, or grows on trees?
Even picking leaves takes effort, doesn’t it?”
“You really are crazy!”
“I know what you want to say, but after all, we’re partners.
Isn’t diversification exactly what viewers want, to have many streaming categories grow from the live broadcast industry?
How can you call me crazy?
Maybe I am a bit crazy, but my madness absolutely benefits the platform and all our partners.”
It seemed many people didn’t support the sleep-aid streaming path, but Lin Guanqi knew clearly—if this category wasn’t developed, they’d lose many streamers.
If they developed it, perhaps they could even achieve a breakthrough.
“We won’t be investing in this project.
Maybe, as you said, there will be some traffic and capital flow, but honestly, I can’t see any chance of success.
Even if our cost isn’t too high, the manpower and salaries are still expenses we’d have to pay.”
“Yes, I agree with him.
Even if you think there might be some traffic, we can’t invest, because the return may not be proportional.”
Seeing that none of them wanted to invest in this project, Lin Guanqi could only support it on his own.
Fortunately, with Bai Ningbing’s support, he didn’t feel alone.
In fact, Bai Ningbing alone could outmatch all of them.
He didn’t care whether they invested or not—it didn’t matter at all.
“Alright, since no one wants to invest, I won’t force you.
But you won’t share in any profits this project generates.”
Since the others weren’t investing, of course they wouldn’t try to claim any profits.
They understood the rules.
“This project is just one we don’t support.
If you believe in it, you can invest.
Naturally, you’ll take all the dividends.
If it succeeds and we didn’t invest, we’d have no face to claim even a penny.”
“That’s right.
If the project succeeds and we didn’t invest, it just proves we were shortsighted.
So we won’t take a single cent.”
To be fair, these people’s values were quite upright.
At least they knew that what didn’t belong to them shouldn’t be taken.
“I truly haven’t found the wrong partners.
Even though you don’t believe in this project, you’re not like those predatory investors, always sucking others dry.
You care whether the product benefits the company.”
That’s right.
This group only cared whether the product could bring returns to the company, whether those returns could support the company’s expenses, and whether this streaming category had traffic.
They never thought about acting selfishly.
For partners like these, he had only one evaluation:
Excellent.
They thought of the company, and never pocketed profits for themselves.
Nor did they skim from the company.
To the company, these people were truly beneficial allies.
“What are you saying?
Just because we don’t believe in the project doesn’t mean we’re quitting.”
“Exactly, you’re insulting our integrity.”
