Chapter 1474: Chapter 1210: The War Between Talent and Capital

For the Blue Star capital circle and even the world’s leading social platforms, the establishment of Geek Tribe undoubtedly represents a huge threat. The sense of crisis isn’t limited to just the Blogger platform, but for netizens from all continents, the situation isn’t that complicated. Many users from other platforms have flocked to Geek Tribe, a new platform formed by two established large capitals that is quite attractive:

“This new platform is pretty good!”

“Most of those playing Geek Tribe should be Qin Continent and Middle State people, right?”

“Actually, it’s mostly Middle State people. Qin Continent people are still more concentrated on the Blogger platform because Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow are there.”

“Overall though, Geek is now in a dominant position!”

“The Blue Star real-time social platform might very well be unified by Geek in the future!”

“Exactly.”

“I’m just here to take a look. As a Yan Continent person, I’m still more accustomed to using Facebook, as most of our continent’s celebrities are also on Facebook.”

“I use Special Push more.”

“I actually hope Geek Tribe can unify the world. To be precise, any platform that can unify the social circle will do. Switching between different software to follow my favorite celebrities is just too difficult. After all, I believe everyone doesn’t just like one celebrity.”

“Luckily, I only like the Three Bros, and they’re all on Blogger.”

“Blogger used to be able to barely compete with Geek, but this Tribe wave is equivalent to being acquired by Geek. Blogger’s user numbers have been crushed by Geek Tribe all at once.”

“Blogger will definitely take action!”

“Compared to Geek Tribe, the celebrities on Blogger next door are still too few. If not for Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow, I estimate user activity could drop by a third. Many people play Blogger because of them.”

No need for sensitive business acumen.

Even ordinary people who don’t understand capital know that the cooperation between Tribe and Geek is just a nominal façade. The fact is that Geek has acquired Tribe, essentially buying over all the platform’s celebrities and users.

…

Amid widespread online discussions.

Blogger’s top management also held an emergency meeting.

The first words from the Blogger chairman immediately made everyone tense up:

“The market for Blue Star social platforms is about to change, and Geek Tribe wants to dominate. Our Blogger, as the second most active platform, is now at the most dangerous time!”

“When in need, think of change.”

A man wearing glasses on the right spoke: “Whoever occupies the high ground of public opinion can attract more users, and the most talkable topic on Blue Star is actually celebrities from the arts circle. We need more celebrities to hold the fort.”

“Indeed.”

“In the music, novel, painting, film, and television circles, those ranking high on the Literature and Art Association charts will become key targets for all major social platforms to woo. Geek Tribe has probably already started to act.”

“We must take action.”

“The good news now is that although those high-ranking figures on the charts have their preferred platforms, most haven’t deeply bonded with any one platform, seemingly waiting for the wind direction and choosing the most likely future mainstage platform for public opinion.”

“Currently, the most likely King’s Homeland is Geek Tribe.”

“Geek Tribe is a Middle State platform. Middle State’s appeal to all continents is evident, which is their biggest advantage. Our biggest advantage now is that Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Teacher Shadow are with us, so Starlight’s celebrities also use Blogger, but this extent of opposition to Geek Tribe is still a bit tenuous.”

“What does Mr. Jin think?”

After Blogger’s leadership expressed their views, they collectively turned towards the figure opposite the chairman’s table.

Jin Mu.

The reason Jin Mu could attend this Blogger high-level meeting is that he simultaneously obtained the agency rights for Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow!

In other words:

Jin Mu sitting here represents the attitudes of Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow. Blogger is already used to this.

Jin Mu’s external image has always been the agent for Chu Kuang and Shadow.

Xian Yu’s relationship with Blogger also frequently commissions Jin Mu to liaise with the company.

This is not unusual.

The great relationship between those three is world-renowned, and it’s quite normal to jointly commission one person as an agent.

However, Blogger doesn’t know the relationship among the three.

Because Blue Star prohibits unofficial institutions from privately querying personal IP addresses.

The IP addresses that can be checked only show general ranges.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan’s several accounts would have been thoroughly dug up by Blogger and Tribe.

Pondering in silence.

Jin Mu slowly spoke: “First, about the shares issue we discussed before, Teacher Admirable Fish needs to obtain more shares. A mere one percent is obviously not enough.”

“Of course!”

Blogger’s leadership has reached a consensus on this matter: “Teacher Admirable Fish currently only holds one percent, and we will additionally provide him with nine more percent, priced according to our previous discussions. We might also consider enabling him to obtain more shares later, but this clearly requires our cooperation to be fruitful. I just want to know if Xian Yu can represent Teacher Shadow and Chu Kuang?”

“Absolutely no problem.”

Jin Mu displayed a mysterious smile: “Those three teachers entrusting matters to me represents unified interests. You will soon see results. Didn’t you just say that we need to attract more celebrities to join Blogger? We will participate in this matter.”

“You mean?”

“How do you all assess Teacher Admirable Fish’s influence in the Qin Continent music scene?”

Blogger’s leadership was shocked!

Will Xian Yu, as one of the major shareholders, attract Qin Continent celebrities to join Blogger?

No one can guarantee how effective Xian Yu’s actions will be.

After all, most Qin Continent celebrities followed the old Tribe and automatically entered the new platform called ‘Geek Tribe’!

As for attractiveness.

The current Geek Tribe is undoubtedly far greater than Blogger!

Yet Blogger can’t help but feel amazed because it’s Xian Yu, after all!

How much is his face worth?

Nobody knows the answer to such a matter without specific implementation.

Perhaps it’s somewhat satisfactory.

Or maybe it could have quite unexpected effects.

Seeing the shock of the blogging leadership, Jin Mu smiled faintly.

It may seem like taking advantage by asking for shares at this time, but in fact, that’s not the case at all; Lin Yuan has to pay a price to bring people to the blog.

“We understand what you mean.”

The chairman of the blog took a deep breath: “But none of us know how effective this will be. What else apart from that?”

“Comics.”

Jin Mu spoke two words, then squinted his eyes:

“Teacher Shadow’s current influence is different from before; his national painting level is recognized globally, but don’t forget he is also the King of Comics on Blue Star. He will create a brand new comic for exclusive serialization on the blog, and registered blog members can read it for free.”

The blogging leadership suddenly became excited upon hearing this!

Compared to Xian Yu’s uncertain promise to bring people, Shadow’s comic serialization on the blog is undoubtedly much more solid!

Shadow is the King of Comics!

His comic fans are already all over the world!

And if his new comic is exclusively serialized on the blog, how many netizens will be attracted to register as blog members on their own?

What?

The comic might fail?

If it were someone else, there might be fluctuations in their status.

But Shadow, as the King of Comics, has never actually failed when he seriously draws comics, not to mention he is now a legend, and the attraction of his works for fans will only be greater!

“What about Teacher Chu Kuang?”

The leaders of the blog are already excited!

Xian Yu and Shadow will both use their ways to help the blog attract customers!

Chu Kuang surely won’t do nothing, right?

“Of course, it’s novels.”

Jin Mu opened his mouth and gave the expected answer:

“But unlike before, Chu Kuang’s novel production will be larger, and you will also need to open a blog membership to read the full text. If everyone is confident in Teacher Chu Kuang’s works, perhaps the future he can create is very much worth looking forward to, isn’t it?”

The blogging leadership exchanged a glance, unable to conceal their smiles.

The solution is simple and rough, but the effect is indeed foreseeable!

Still, there’s that statement:

Unless Chu Kuang’s novel fails, as long as he can maintain his writing standard, he can definitely attract countless people to the blog!

“I have to say, these ideas themselves are not surprising.”

The chairman of the blog said: “To be precise, all this sounds somewhat fanciful because all of this is based on the personal abilities of Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Teacher Shadow.”

Capital war!

It’s about the big picture!

The effect that personal abilities can exert is minimal!

Yet, the three of them coincidentally chose to use their personal abilities to counter this wave of capital!

Utterly arrogant!

However, no one in the blogging leadership dared to say how arrogant the three of them were.

The blog side even felt:

This sounds quite reliable!

“With one’s own strength, to be precise, using those three as the pillars of the country, using talent to counter Middle State capital, this is their answer, the competition of resources and financial power. Compared to the Zhong Continent consortium, we will lose without a doubt, so we can only gamble boldly, betting on how astonishing the talents of these three can be. At least in my heart, they and their peers are unparalleled in the world!”

Jin Mu spoke sternly.

The blogging leadership was suddenly somewhat impassioned!

Although this plan is full of loopholes, if Shadow’s work isn’t so hot, if Chu Kuang’s novel isn’t so explosive, if Xian Yu’s face isn’t so big, nothing would be established. Yet, everyone has ignited inexplicable confidence.

With sheer talent alone, to counter the world’s largest capital alliance?

If it’s those three, who could truly say it’s impossible?

Just then.

The chairman’s secretary entered and whispered a few words in his ear.

The chairman’s expression changed instantly, the quietly boiling blood cooled slightly, his voice carried a hint of gravity:

“The Geek Tribe has acted, and is pulling together famous people on major leaderboards.”

“We should act too.”

Jin Mu spoke: “Aren’t you curious whether it’s capital crushing talent, or talent defeating capital.”

After speaking, Jin Mu laughed.

In fact, this saying is not entirely accurate.

The capital behind Lin Yuan is also not to be underestimated:

Silver Blue Books, one of the top publishers globally; Starlight Entertainment, with the scale of the sixth-largest entertainment company; the second-ranked Blue Star social platform in customer traffic; and the most popular comic website alliance at present; not to mention the hottest business genius Sun Yaohuo, who is wholeheartedly following Lin Yuan on Blue Star…

These are Lin Yuan’s confidence.

With these confidences, the constraints of capital on individuals will be minimized. Lin Yuan’s unparalleled talent, if it blooms freely on Blue Star, how terrifying could its influence be?

ps: Everyone doesn’t need to consider the issue of completion for now. Polluted White significantly underestimated the word count of subsequent chapters, and there are still many plots to unfold. Thinking about it gives a headache; clearly Polluted White himself wants to complete and rest, but the completion level of this book surpasses the previous ones, not wanting to leave too much regret, so he can only prepare for a long-term battle.
