Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 216

Episode 216: Strategy for the Future

Finally, Dozuni Castle is completed.

So this Saturday, on the 14th, there will be a celebration performance for the completion in front of Dozuni Castle organized by the members of Rissle Company.

Everyone is requested to attend and brighten up the occasion.

Is it fortunate?

At least it doesn’t overlap with our construction funding date on the 15th.

“We definitely timed our dates well.”

The construction funding ultimately comes down to who can capture the wallets of the fluid individuals.

The wallets of fixed fans can be considered almost constant.

Currently, other companies have not set up landmark construction plans like ours.

Thanks to this, the community has shown a lot of interest in our V-Live Company.

“Please, 700,000… No, even 600,000 wouldn’t be bad. If we can set a record like that.”

In fact, the amount of funding is not only important to the streamer.

More often, it is the fandom that takes the lead and causes a stir.

South Korea is undeniably a capitalist society.

Thus, the amount of funding each company receives is a gauge of that company’s capability and pride.

This is why fans have so enthusiastically opened their wallets.

“The funding amounts for each company led to the Gold Cup becoming enormous.”

In the FM Community, accounts that couldn’t contain their anger ended up getting a 100-day suspension are not rare.

There’s no need to mention the unsupervised underground galleries.

Starting in January and continuing for half a year until the end of the server, they even fought over the funding amounts of each company, compiling it into an Excel sheet.

Companies with insufficient funding are often ridiculed as “beggar fandoms.”

Primarily, Rissle Company and Sunny Moon took on that role.

To give an example, the main fandom of Kim Hak-do, the LoL players, would flock to fill the seats but wouldn’t do anything to boost the streamer’s morale.

“In fact, Kim Hak-do and Mr. NS should be evaluated by different standards.”

From the start, Kim Hak-do has enjoyed playing Lena World with a feeling akin to the second part, leading to a lack of immersion compared to other big company streamers.

Thus, the falling Naksu naturally was also sparse…

Similarly, Mr. NS belonged to the Sunny Group, an entertainment crew… meaning he had a separate entity.

Even just the Naksu that could be funneled into the Sunny Group every month would be insufficient, and now he’s looking after streamers from the Minecraft Company too?

That would be a task impossible, even for Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, known as the king of Pangea TV.

Fans’ wallets inherently have limits.

“So ultimately, it felt like a three-way battle.”

The MuYang Group, boasting overwhelming total Naksu amounts, led by Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.

Owang Company has a solid Naksu along with monopolizing the first place in various content.

Akatsuki of Romance, which recorded an average first place in candy sponsorships per person, even without the presence of a big company streamer.

I had to find some way to survive against such strong competitors.

“Honestly, there’s no chance for first place. There’s a saying that the little bird will tear its legs while chasing the stork.”

Self-objectivity is essential in any situation.

Reckless ambition can ruin oneself.

My realistic goal, as I see it, is a position between Owang Company and Akatsuki.

To be active in as many contents as possible to grab awareness along with Minshim, and attract fluid individuals based on those results.

If luck follows, perhaps aiming for a joint third place could be possible?

Honestly, it was audacious to think that a company led by someone with 300 fixed fans could sit above Rissle Company and Sunny Moon before entering Lena World.

“Still, everyone is working hard.”

Not long ago, I had seen an informative post in the community.

It compared the average online times of each company’s staff, and our company was ranked first by a considerable margin.

Of course, many big company streamers have joined now, and in pursuit of Naksu, their playtime will gradually catch up, but that doesn’t erase the efforts made.

When I think of the company staff who believed in me and quietly worked even when the Naksu was scarce, I wanted to give them more, even if it meant toughening my face.

That is a basic human emotion.

“Yeah. It won’t be easy, but let’s give it our all.”

I silently steeled my resolve.

***

I communicated various things through the group chat.

The first was to prepare various attractions to show on the landmark construction funding day.

As I keep saying, viewers are not fools.

Sometimes they may seem to support us mindlessly, but it comes from goodwill.

As soon as they see a sense of entitlement, their fans’ enthusiasm inevitably cools.

“There are many streamers who gained fleeting popularity and then crumbled. The viewers are all aware of this.”

So I emphasized not to spare any effort in this preparation.

To ensure fans feel that their contributions are never wasted.

And the second item to communicate.

It was about participating in the celebration performance for Dozuni Castle on the 14th.

Unless there is a special reason, do not be late, and come early to secure the front row seats.

It’s funny, but this is a time when the rivalry and skirmishes between fandoms of each company are intensifying over the Gold Cup.

For us, lacking the support of a big company streamer, it’s important to establish as good an image as possible.

This type of important event needs active participation without exceptions to create goodwill.

Doing so could appear servile, but there is no meaningless effort in this world.

Ultimately, this is also mutual assistance.

If our company plans a large-scale content and if there are low participant numbers, how does that feel?

If goodwill has been well established, fans would naturally want to participate without having to prompt them.

“Even if it’s bothersome, I need to keep an eye on these matters. The Naksu of the company might end with this server, but the image of each streamer endures.”

The last third item communicated was direction to increase the daily sales quota of the repairing equipment sold in the V-Mart for the time being.

To maintain the high prices of repairing equipment, the daily sales quota had been limited to 2-3 units, but since news of the vehicle auction came in, it was necessary to secure more cash.

“Normally, the companies that buy vehicles would be called foolish. But if Lena’s land reflects my advice…”

Then the purchased vehicles would fulfill their worth sufficiently.

So, there would be no reason not to invest in the vehicle auction.

The buzz and recognition could indeed satisfy the pride of the company’s fans through financial gain too.

“The sales of repairing equipment alone might not be enough. The loaned funds need to be recouped to some extent.”

Currently, V-Live Company holds about 50 million Lena.

However, the total amount loaned out is 80 million Lena.

Legend has it that more than a third of that debt is to Rissle Company.

In any case, recalling the memories from before returning, I remember that auctions for a total of four vehicles were conducted, with popular classic sedans or sports cars fetching prices around 80-90 million Lena.

Wasn’t the sports car nearly 100 million?

So, with our current cash, it feels insufficient.

“We used to be the overwhelming richest at first, but we’re getting chased down.”

In some ways, this was to be expected.

Our company has just reached seven members, while Owang Company has already surpassed ten, and Partner & Tofu Company earns money quickly due to the large group.

“In the end, there’s no answer against the strategy of numbers. Plus, the efficiency difference between men and women is evident. We don’t have male streamers in our company. We’ve been maintaining our lead since the start, but…”

That’s why I was considering recruiting additional members.

I felt anxious that I might be overtaken like this…

Yet I regained my composure through honest conversations with the company staff.

That’s right; I shouldn’t be shaken but move calmly.

Even if it seems a bit lacking now, we are still preparing many lays for the future.

“For example, Ratatouille and Big Farms.”

Just imagining it feels satisfying.

If we just sold everything piled up in the warehouse, how much would that be?

Ah! The prices are still terrible.

The sales of crops would need to be patched to receive a fair price, so right now I needed to exhibit patience.

“First, let’s focus on recouping the loans, and if that proves difficult, we can hastily gather everyone for some group mining. Recently, everyone has been farming, so it’s actually an opportune time for some mining too. The mining enthusiasts will be satisfied.”

I had to hold back on doing Diamond CK as this Sunday, the landmark construction funding was happening.

No matter how much the concept is the “money pig,” there’s a line to be drawn.

Huh? I’ve already received more than 170,000 this month?

In reality, the line is there to be crossed!

“Alright. It seems I’ve communicated all necessary points.”

Responses confirming understanding started coming in.

I quietly ignored Mayo’s complaints about not being able to play ranked games this week.

Aside from that, the company was running quite smoothly.

“Then, let’s push ourselves hard again this week.”

The strategy for the future was steadily being prepared.
