Super Zoo

Chapter 308 Eat Meat and Drink Soup

Tired of discussing the topic of male gods with Wang Hao—whether it was the mainstream trend of charming young idols or the non-mainstream niche of sleazy, low-class ones—it all had nothing to do with him anyway. There's definitely something wrong with the aesthetics of this era. A man who solely relies on his good looks like himself is no longer in demand. It's truly tragic...

Getting back to the main topic, he and Wang Hao discussed issues of employment and treatment of the anchors after recruitment.

All the anchors, regardless of gender, would be temporarily managed by the Taoyuan Entertainment Company after being recruited; according to Suming's view, they should be regarded as something between 'employees' and 'artists' and temporarily managed as employees.

As for compensation, it would primarily be based on the gifts received, as the anchors wouldn't have a base salary. But unlike star anchors, the company would no longer take a 30% management fee. After deducting the part that goes directly to the animals, the gifts for the anchor would be split fifty-fifty between the company and the anchor.

Suming also discussed some safety issues. Apart from a few relatively tame animals, most animals still posed a certain level of danger, so he instructed Wang Hao to work on drafting an employee management protocol and a safety manual or something similar as soon as possible. Initially, it was crucial not to allow anchors to come into direct contact with the animals.

"I have another suggestion, and I'll just give you a general direction. You figure out the specifics," Suming said to Wang Hao, pausing and turning around as he was about to leave.

"What is it?"

"Have you ever seen the auditions for 'Super Girl'?" Suming said with a grin.

...

Though Wang Hao was still as round as a ball, Suming was quite confident in his working capabilities. Now that the online platform was smoothly up and running and the future development plan set, all they needed to do was to follow the plan systematically.

In terms of recruitment specifics, Suming only gave a broad direction, and Wang Hao understood the drill and began to take action.

He didn't go about recruitment as typical companies would, such as renting out an office building or a room for private one-on-one interviews.

Before the interviews started, Wang Hao specifically commissioned a construction team to build a small stage on the grass in Yangchuan Zoo and announced that the interview process would be held publicly in the zoo and simultaneously livestreamed on the online platform.

At the same time, Wang Hao also contacted local vendors selling lobsters, beer, and fried chicken, preparing to set up food stalls during the interview.

After Yangchuan Zoo's live streaming platform became popular, other zoos were quick to copy and set up their own platforms, with some already in the testing phase.

Imitating may seem somewhat embarrassing to talk about, but if it works, many are still willing to do it.

However, Yangchuan Zoo was too much of a sensation, especially with its 'inviting celebrities to livestream' and 'grassroots anchors'...

The other zoos had no choice but to continue imitating; what else could they do if not follow the trend? Could they really attract audiences solely with their zoos' animals?

Not to mention the star fans economy and the aspiring grassroots economy created by Yangchuan Zoo's live streaming platform already drawing large audiences, even the appeal of the animals alone was no match compared to those of Yangchuan City Zoo.

The result was a rather awkward situation: imitation might not guarantee success, but from the current point of view, not imitating was certain doom.

So, other zoos timidly began their promotions, intending to invite celebrities and recruit grassroots anchors.

Just a few days passed, and Yangchuan City turned its grassroots anchor recruitment into a grand, nationwide talent search feast.

"Boss, are we still copying or what?" The assistant asked with a blushing face.

Copying once might be ignored with a laugh, since there are many imitative shows now; but copying twice starts to look bad, and being caught copying is embarrassing and like chewing on leftovers.

In just a short timeframe, copying three times in a row was practically turning into a joke. Does it mean that apart from Yangchuan City Zoo, other zoos around the country have no creative capacity at all? Are they only capable of copying?

The executives themselves felt embarrassed even without the audience poking fun.

After long consideration, the leader finally sighed helplessly and said with rolling eyes, "We've come this far, how can we not follow? If we follow, at worst we get to sip some soup even if they get to eat the meat."
