Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

The contract was finally signed, and YY agreed to all of Lin Shu's additional conditions.

However, after discussion, the Huya team did not change the original contract, and the equity incentive was still set at 2.5%.

In Gu Feng's own words, Emperor has presented such a generous gift. Since we are already on the same side, it is only natural for our own people to spend money to buy shares. It should not be used as a condition for exchange.

After signing the papers, Lin Shu and Gu Xinyue saw everyone off.

Gu Feng waved his hand, "Alright, that's enough for now."

"We'll be announcing the establishment of Huya and the signing of the first batch of streamers, including President Lin, when we get back tonight. We'll need your help with the promotion then."

"Definitely," Lin Shu affirmed, while Gu Xinyue beside him added, "Leading Esports has already signed Emperor to a nearly ten million yuan contract with Huya and has prepared a complete promotional plan."

"That's great."

Gu Feng laughed loudly.

After his companions had taken a few steps forward, the man turned around and said, "It's clear you've learned a lot these past few months."

"It's much freer than being with you. I can make a lot of decisions on my own," Gu Xinyue said calmly.

Beside him, Lin Shu awkwardly touched his nose.

He couldn't tell whether his assistant was praising him or subtly criticizing him for being a hands-off manager.

……

late at night.

The clock struck midnight.

A new day has begun.

On a Weibo account, YY Live (全民娱乐)'s official account suddenly updated with a post.

[Official Announcement: Notice Regarding the Independent Operation and Brand Upgrade of YY Games Live Streaming Business!]

Dear users, broadcasters, and partners:

Hello everyone.

Today, we have a long-awaited major announcement to make—

YY's game live streaming business has been officially separated from the YY platform and will become an independent brand, "Huya Live," effective immediately.

This is not a simple name change, but a strategic upgrade that we hope to provide users with better and more precise services.

As our long-time users know, YY pioneered the game live streaming business as early as 2012.

Back then, live streaming was still a novelty. We were figuring things out as we went, and step by step, we made game live streaming one of YY's core components.

But in the past two years, we have become increasingly aware that game streaming deserves a more focused and purer name and battleground.

So today, we are officially taking this step.

……

What should the new brand be called?

—Huya Live.

Where is the new home?

—Starting at 10:30 AM on June 1st, the main website address for the game live streaming section will be officially switched from yy.tv to huya.com.

Of course, the domain name has changed, but the account is still there, the streamers you follow are still there, and the gifts you've purchased are still there, so don't worry.

Starting from midnight today, YY will seamlessly integrate with the Huya beta version. Some details are still being adjusted, and we welcome everyone's feedback so we can work together to make our new home more comfortable.

……

Finally, thank you to all our old friends who have been with us all the way from YY Live.

Every "666" you typed in the chat and every gift you sent in the live stream is what gives us the confidence to get to where we are today.

In the future, Huya Live will continue to focus on gaming, providing you with clearer, smoother, and more engaging live streaming content. We will continue our efforts to connect everyone who loves gaming.

See you at our new home on June 1st, Huya Live.

YY Live Team

October 2013, 5!

……

YY's announcement did not cause much of a stir.

The reason is simple: even the most hardcore internet surfers would find it hard to believe what a live streaming platform's official account is saying at midnight.

Not to mention that the official YY platform account doesn't have many followers.

No problem, right after the YY official account posted the update, the newly verified Huya Live official account seamlessly followed.

#HuyaLiveOfficiallyLaunch#

"Hello everyone, this is Huya Live!"

"Starting today, YY's game live streaming section is officially renamed 'Huya Live' and will operate independently. A brand new beginning, a fresh start; in the future, we will focus on becoming the best game live streaming platform."

[Breaking News!]

"On this auspicious day of our launch, we also have some exciting news to share with you—"

"As YY's game live streaming section becomes independent, and after friendly negotiations between both parties, Emperor, a streamer originally signed with the platform—the number one player in the League of Legends Challenge, the Shanghai All-Star champion, and the creator of League of Legends tutorial videos that countless players watch to get into the game—has officially joined Huya starting today!"

"Emperor's first broadcast is scheduled for 8 PM on June 1st. Livestream ID: 888888. See you there!"

……

When Huya posted the update, Lin Shu's personal account naturally had to take corresponding action, proactively tagging the platform to follow up on the promotional activity.

"Having received the official announcement from (#^.^#)@HuyaLive, let's take this opportunity to formally say something as well:"

"Yes, I'm here."

"From YY to Huya, it's just a change in the live streaming medium, not a change in the original intention."

"After many rounds of discussions with the CEOs of Huya, we finally decided to settle here—not for any other reason than that they truly understand esports and are willing to make a significant investment in a player, a team, and a complete esports ecosystem."

"Whether it's being the best player on the Chinese Super Server, an All-Star champion, or a creator of tutorial videos, these are just labels, and they're all in the past."

"The road ahead is long, and what I want most is a place where players can focus on playing games and creating content, while also helping more young people embark on this path. Huya has given me enough space and respect, so I will return the favor by leaving the best version of myself here."

Premiere time: June 1st, 8 PM

Livestream ID: 888888!

"Please make sure you don't go to the wrong place."

"By the way, HWG players will also occasionally visit my live stream. When they do, feel free to ask me anything about the game, about the professional scene, or about how to navigate this path."

"At the same time, on the day of the premiere, I also partnered with Huya to prepare a super surprise for everyone."

"Believe me, although I'm not Qin Shi Huang, I am the strongest player in League of Legends. This is a really amazing surprise."
