Chapter 524 - 277: Tiao Yin Discovered the Traffic Diversion
What troubled him was that these girls kept making eyes at him, and even sent him private messages on WeChat.
Fortunately, his self-control had improved, so he didn’t give these girls any openings. He even gave them a stern reminder that he wasn’t the type to get involved with his own people.
After all, a man can’t be a complete animal. Getting involved with too many coworkers was bound to cause problems.
But when Sister Hong saw the excellent data, she wanted him to do it a few more times, since the results were no worse than what they’d get from a good promotional feature.
Tiao Yin had been giving him top-tier traffic resources for his livestreams and videos. It would be a waste not to take full advantage of them.
At the very least, before Tiao Yin pulled these resources, he could boost many of the girls’ careers and get them some impressive numbers.
Moreover, they would include a link to the Second Life Star Official Website in all of these girls’ videos, which proved to be an excellent way to divert traffic.
This caught the attention of many people. However, when they clicked the link and saw it was the Second Life Star Official Website, many were confused.
Most MCNs just created an official account directly on Tiao Yin. It seemed unnecessary for Second-Life Star to build a dedicated official website.
But for now, no one knew just how much power this website would unleash in the future.
...
「Second-Life Star.」
All the employees were surprised to find that every single one of the Miss Chengs had come to the company first thing in the morning.
This was definitely a rare occurrence.
The staff knew that the Miss Chengs had the most followers in the company. But they usually had their own activities or just livestreamed from home. They didn’t come to the office every day unless something was up.
Now that all the Miss Chengs had arrived so early, the employees were all extremely curious. Clearly, something was going on.
In fact, girls like Jiang Xiaobai and Yinyin were also very curious about why the boss had summoned all of them.
But they still hadn’t seen the boss.
At that moment, Chen Jincheng and Sister Hong had already arrived at the tech department.
The tech department had hired a few more people recently and had begun developing the interactive video game engine. The traffic diversion efforts were also still underway.
Chen Jincheng and Sister Hong were looking at data displayed on an LCD screen, which showed the traffic diversion stats for the Second Life Star Official Website.
Wu Ke stood to the side, explaining, "Boss, we’ve been putting all our effort into diverting traffic from Tiao Yin these past few days. The official registration number has already exceeded five million."
"Mm, nice work," Chen Jincheng ordered with a smile after hearing the numbers. "But for now, don’t leak this data."
Although five million registered users was nothing compared to platforms like Tiao Yin or Penguin, which casually boasted hundreds of millions, it was a very respectable user base when compared to an average company.
But for him, this wasn’t enough. He needed to keep diverting traffic. Before he reached his goal, the most important thing was to quietly make a fortune.
However, Second-Life Star’s recent activities naturally didn’t escape Tiao Yin’s notice. After all, adding a link to every single video was too obvious a move.
You could say Chen Jincheng wasn’t even trying to hide it.
Han Shangyou received a report, and the screen in front of him displayed the Second-Life Star homepage.
He frowned and said, "What on earth is Chen Jincheng trying to do?"
The assistant reported, "Our data analysis department believes they’re likely diverting traffic. Over this period, they should have siphoned a certain amount of traffic from Tiao Yin. As for their objective, that’s unclear."
Han Shangyou’s expression grew serious as he pondered. "Chen Jincheng definitely has some kind of goal. And diverting traffic from Tiao Yin like this... it’s a bit brazen."
The assistant immediately asked, "Should we deal with this? Or maybe warn Second-Life Star?"
Indeed, traffic was a platform’s lifeblood. Tiao Yin hadn’t even become number one in short-form video or defeated Kuaishou yet, and here was Second-Life Star, already trying to poach their users.
Even if the amount of traffic they were diverting was insignificant, it was still a very annoying situation for Tiao Yin.
Hearing this, Han Shangyou fiddled around on the Second-Life Star website for a moment before speaking. "At this stage, we still need Chen Jincheng for our shopping cart feature. Kuaishou has been poaching our influencers lately. They’re definitely up to something—perhaps they feel threatened by the shopping cart. At the very least, we can’t let Kuaishou poach Chen Jincheng."
"Then we can only ignore this for now and let them divert the traffic!" the assistant said, shaking his head. "Otherwise, if we make a move, Kuaishou might seize the opportunity."
Han Shangyou quickly replied, "His website’s functions have no impact on Tiao Yin. Our energy should be focused on Kuaishou right now. Once we’ve dealt with Kuaishou, we can handle this matter however we please."
"Besides, Tiao Yin has already launched a support program for the shopping cart. Video e-commerce is about to see explosive growth. Kuaishou won’t be able to hold out for long. In such a short time, how much traffic can Chen Jincheng possibly divert?"
Clearly, he was very confident. He just never considered that things might not go according to his plan.
