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

"Two separate teams, not subordinate to each other."

Lin Shu pointed to one side with both hands, "Lin Jie will be in charge of e-commerce; Lao Tang will be in charge of the club."

"OK."

"no problem."

Compared to Zou Lin's composure, Lao Tang, though a man who had seen his share of ups and downs, was still somewhat emotionally affected.

There was no other way; in the past two hours, he had gotten to know his little boss better.

A young man started from scratch and became the number one player in the national server of a game with a million daily active users in just one month. He had hundreds of thousands of fans in his live stream, and his Taobao store went from nothing to a million in revenue in a very short time.

Don't be fooled by the fact that millions are just a passing flow; not much of it actually ends up in your pocket.

But so what?

Talented individuals are nineteen or twenty years old.

How could Lao Tang not be excited to receive an invitation from such a promising team and be given such an important position right away?

Honestly, if he hadn't slapped himself hard several times in the bathroom before the meeting and confirmed that his face was burning with pain, he would have seriously doubted whether he was hallucinating from staying up all night to grab orders the day before.

Hearing their replies, Lin Shu continued, "Then the second thing is that for the next period of time, my main focus, or rather the team's overall focus, will shift towards the club. Including Xiao Zhuang, we all have to take action to officially launch the club."

"I won't go into too much detail about the importance of esports to the future development of our e-commerce sector. I'll just give you a set of data, and you can see for yourselves."

"As of this morning, the total revenue of esports merchandise was 1.35 million, of which 87% was contributed by esports players, and the remaining 13% was indirectly affected by them."

To put it bluntly, everything we have right now comes from the player community.

"There's still room for growth in game live streaming, but the rate of increase is slowing down, and its external influence is insufficient. On the other hand, the recently concluded IPL5 finals saw WE easily generate tens of millions of views with their victory. In addition, with the League of Legends Chinese professional league about to be established, it's only a matter of time before professional esports become the main source of traffic in this industry."

"In this respect, I do have advantages that others don't have—being number one in the national server, having a live streaming channel, and a Taobao store are all foundations. But one person's strength is ultimately limited. To capture and capitalize on the massive traffic of the future esports scene, it's simply impossible without a mature and reliable team."

His gaze slowly swept across the three people's faces from left to right.

"The team currently only consists of the three of you, but in the future, there will be more and more people—team players, club operations, content editors, business liaisons..."

What I wanted to say was—

"The team expansion will be completed in a very short time."

"As for you, as the first batch of veterans I recruited, whether you stay where you are or take a step forward is entirely up to you."

Hey.

That's right, it's all just empty promises!

Moreover, Lin Shu drew the cake for the three of them to be round and large.

His gaze shifted and landed on Zhuang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the far side.

"Don't understand? Let me give you an example."

"Xiao Zhuang, you're currently our only full-time customer service representative at [Esports Goodies]. Your current tasks, besides greeting customers and handling after-sales issues every day, are also supervising those college students who are doing part-time work, right?"

"Yes...yes!"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao sat up straight instinctively, her voice a little tense. She hadn't expected the boss to call her name first.

"Then let me ask you," Lin Shu's tone softened slightly, "Do you want to stay in customer service, or do you want to advance further?"

"Hehe, of course it's going to be a step further, a promotion and a raise!" Xiao Zhuang scratched his head and laughed.

"I just want a promotion and a raise."

"Have you noticed any changes in our store since you started working here?"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and her words flowed smoothly:

"Yes! We're partnering with more merchants, and customers are demanding more and more different types of group-buying deals."

"Often, the system malfunctions, or customers have additional requests after joining a group purchase, but the store doesn't have those items. In such cases, we have to process them manually, checking each item one by one..."

"That's right." Lin Shu continued, "More and more stores are actively seeking us out to post their resale links. Why? They all want to ride the wave of traffic from esports."

"Players' demand is also increasing, because once people buy one item from your store, it can easily turn into buying two or three."

"It's good that you noticed, it's good that you noticed."

As Lin Shu spoke, he changed the subject and posed a question:

"Xiao Zhuang, have you considered that customers need more products? Could we proactively approach them to discuss collaborations?"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

"We have sales volume, and more importantly, the exposure traffic that merchants dream of. Even if the commission rate for distributors is slightly lower, just having one more product category means we'll have more profit, right?"

Lin Shu looked at her, his tone earnest: "In the past, I was overwhelmed with tasks on my own. In the future, I will have even less energy to do everything personally. Ultimately, someone has to do these things."

"Tell me, if we can successfully expand the business, would I be willing to offer you a higher position?"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao seemed to be on fire, desperately suppressing the urge to stand up from her chair. She nodded several times, her voice trembling, "Yes! I will! I can do it!"

"OK." Lin Shu smiled. "From today onwards, for every merchant you proactively contact and finalize a formal cooperation agreement with, I will give you a commission."

"Of course, you can't neglect basic customer service work until you've achieved certain results."

After saying that, he turned to the other two: "Now that the example has been set, do you two understand what I'm trying to say?"

"Understood!" ×2.

Zou Lin and Tang Bin spoke almost simultaneously.

Zhuang Xiaoxiao: "???"

what?

What do you understand?

No, what is the boss trying to say?

Or was the commission promise just an example?

While her mind was still racing, Zou Lin turned to the side and gently patted her arm:

"Relax, just do your own thing."

Then Zou Lin looked up and her gaze fell on Tang Bin, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She understood Lin Shu's subtext because she had roughly understood his thought process after spending more than a month with him, but she didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man could actually keep up with her pace.

What Lin Shu wanted to express was actually very simple.

He needs people, people who can get things done, especially people who can independently identify and solve problems.

The future of the esports industry looks incredibly bright. The attention and traffic surrounding esports are staggering.

There is no doubt that the team has a bright future.

As the boss, he has the ability, the customer base, and the confidence to carve out a huge slice of the pie in the upcoming battle for market share.

But one person's strength is ultimately limited.

Only when the team grows stronger can it go further.

This team is full of openings and opportunities.

It all depends on whether you can take initiative, get started on your own, understand the industry, master it, and then become a leader in it.

Lin Shu couldn't provide everyone with a comprehensive arrangement because some things couldn't be thought of in a short time, or he himself might not even be aware of them.

Moreover, for a long time to come, he will have to form a team, train, and participate in competitions, and his personal energy will inevitably be diverted by e-sports!

Therefore, his stance was very clear;

I don't want the esports traffic I've worked so hard to gain to be wasted.

I don't want to spend my whole life as a small-time livestreamer selling pancakes.

Next, I will give you a stage, give you direction, and even give you the opportunity to try and make mistakes.

The rest is up to you.
