Just as Li Yun and Old Guo were chatting happily, there was a knock on the door.

The secretary opened the door and entered, bringing Li Yun some unexpected news.

"What did you say? A live streaming platform called YY Live wants to cooperate with us?" Li Yun looked at him with some surprise.

The secretary nodded: "To be precise, they hope to be acquired by us."

Li Yun raised his eyebrows. What was YY Live up to? Did they even know each other?

"Where are they now?"

"At the parent company. Do you want to go back?"

Li Yun shook his head: "Let my sister handle it and ask what they're thinking. Although I've considered doing live streaming, it's not now. But since they've come to our door, let my sister find out more."

The secretary responded and then left the office.

After he left, Old Guo said, "I've heard of this YY Live. It started as software for voice communication in games for players, and later gradually developed into a live streaming business."

"But their size is too small, and they don't have capital support. Now, Douyu, Panda, Zhanqi, and other live streaming platforms are gradually growing, and with the competition we're holding, the traffic is being divided up by these big platforms. They probably can't hold on."

Li Yun was stunned. Was that the reason?

At this time, YY Live really had no influence. Compared to large live streaming platforms such as Douyu, it was simply insignificant.

If they wanted to survive this wave of elimination, they had to find a backer.

And taking advantage of official traffic and retaining more streamers was undoubtedly the best choice.

They may have already contacted Tencent.

With Tencent's domineering nature, there were only two paths: either die or completely submit.

If YY Live wanted to maintain independent operation, or even have a little operational control, they had to find a good-natured financial backer.

Thinking of this, Li Yun smiled wryly: "Old Guo, do I look like I'm easy to talk to?"

Old Guo was speechless.

As for the other companies, YY Live didn't even consider contacting them, because the other companies had no connection to the internet at all.

The reason they contacted Li Yun was because the companies under Li Yun's command were developing in a more diversified manner.

They contacted Li Yun with a try-it-and-see attitude.

If this didn't work, they might really have to work under Tencent, or have new capital help them.

Li Yun didn't know much about YY Live, only that this YY Live would become Huya Live in the future.

The years when Huya developed happened to be when Li Yun was at a low point in his life. At that time, he was busy with work all day long and had no time to watch live streams.

By the time he emerged from that low point, Huya had already developed very well.

It was also at that time that Douyin was born, and he became a loyal fan of Douyin.

Later, with the birth of Tomato Novel Platform, Li Yun was fortunate enough to be among the first to enjoy the platform's benefits.

Although he was struggling and never qualified to be a Gold Tomato Writer, he had no problem making a living.

This was also his long-held obsession: to create a novel platform similar to Tomato.

What's this called? Following Tomato's path and leaving Tomato with no path to follow!

In the general manager's office of Yuqing Weile parent company, the head of YY Live, Old Yang, looked at the woman in front of him with some trepidation.

Xiao Yun frowned as she finished reading the overall situation of YY Live. Honestly, it was already very worrying.

Douyu's poaching was too powerful. After several of the platform's major streamers who could drive traffic were poached, YY Live now only had its original function: voice communication.

And they were planning to charge for it.

This was completely unacceptable.

Douyu was free, but you were charging. Wouldn't that be digging your own grave?

After a while, Xiao Yun put down the information and said softly: "Our company basically does full acquisitions. I hope you can understand."

Full acquisition?

Old Yang felt a pang of sorrow. But there was nothing he could do.

If YY Live wanted to survive now, it had to accept this fact. They didn't have strong capital behind them. If they wanted to continue developing in the live streaming industry, they had to accept this condition.

He sighed softly and tentatively asked: "Can I still work at YY?"

"Of course. You're more familiar with this industry than we are. All we can do is invest and fully support you to grow bigger and stronger, but... we don't support ingrates, so we can only hold all the shares."

Old Yang smiled: "Then how much salary can I get?"

Xiao Yun frowned: "Let's see how it goes first. I can't decide on that. I'll ask the big boss later. How about having lunch here?"

"Okay."

Old Guo had already left when Li Yun received his sister's call.

He came this time just to tell Li Yun that diamond phones could be produced in batches.

"Hello, Sister, have you reached an agreement?"

"He accepted our full acquisition. Mainly, he wants to continue working at YY. How much salary do you think we should give him?"

"Start with the salary of a department head. After the business there grows bigger and stronger, then consider letting him be the CEO, provided that he really wants to stay at YY and not start his own business and compete with us."

"Okay, by the way, should our employees participate in the competition? I heard from the people below that many employees are enthusiastically discussing the competition."

"I support them participating. How about this? When the audition starts, you notify the employees in the factory that those who want to participate in the competition can sign up in advance, and tell them that they can have a day off on the day they participate in the audition so they can participate in the competition with peace of mind."

This time, Li Yun didn't promise paid leave. If everyone took paid leave, who would run his factory?

"Okay, when does it officially start?"

"It starts on September 1st. Tencent has already created the event process and will release an announcement in advance."

"Okay, by the way, when are you coming back?"

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Second Uncle seems to have something to ask you."

"Second Uncle? What does he want from me?"

Xiao Yun curled her lips disdainfully on the other end of the phone: "What else? Seeing that you've become successful, he naturally wants to climb up to you."

Li Yun scratched his head. Even if Second Uncle didn't look for him, he would become successful before long.

Moreover, his relationship with Second Uncle was quite distant. He had only seen him twice when he was a child.

After he grew up and started working, he never saw him again, only occasionally hearing about his deeds from his aunt.

In his previous life, after he became successful, he didn't see him taking care of his family.

"Then I won't see him. I'm quite busy recently and don't have time to chat with him. You can just refuse him directly."
