Chapter 138 Celebration Banquet
When Paul Three announced his move into live streaming, it caused a huge stir once again! The users' expectations were sky-high!
After all, every product from the Gemini app had been astonishing!
Many well-known streamers were considering switching platforms to start streaming on the Gemini app! Major streaming guilds were also busy preparing to settle into the massive Gemini app platform! After all, the Gemini app now boasted nearly 1 billion users! Everyone knew this was definitely a huge traffic bonus!
However, what surprised netizens even more was the music god Paul also spoke up!
[I support platforms like Gemini app and hope it wins in the commercial war. I promise everyone that if Gemini app wins, I will hold an online concert with 99 signed singers from Gemini app Music to celebrate!]
Seeing Paul's post, fans, netizens, and news reports went crazy! Everyone had never been so excited.
They fervently hoped that the Gemini app, a company neither owned by them nor their employers, would win in the commercial war so that they could see Paul's performance!
In the Creator Company Conference Room.
The atmosphere was also bustling with excitement! Cheers and laughter filled the room! Everyone had prepared flowers, ribbons, and balloons, decorating the entire conference room! The table was full of champagne, fruits, and pastries with enticing aromas!
On the big screen, there was a set of mesmerizing data: Gemini app Music had 600 million paid users!
This was the scene of the Creator's celebration party! After a round of applause, Creator's CEO, Alvin, took the stage. He smiled broadly, his chest heaving. "Colleagues, warriors! Now is the time to celebrate!"
Everyone held their breath, feeling extremely excited!
Alvin trembled as he spoke, "We created a miracle in 24 hours! Gemini app Music has 600 million paid users! It is number one in the internet music field! With 600 million users, with a monthly fee of $15 per person, our monthly revenue has reached $9 billion! This is a miracle! It is an astonishing number!"
Everyone was boiling with excitement! This was a miracle! And they were not just witnesses but participants!
"And as our users increase, our advertising revenue also skyrockets. Rough estimates suggest an increase of $500 million per month is no problem!" Alvin spoke more and more excitedly! He was also too excited! Creator was now a company with a monthly revenue of nearly $10 billion! An incredibly proud achievement!
"Next, let's welcome Paul to the stage!" Thunderous applause!
Elbert slowly walked out, smiling and looking at everyone with satisfaction.
"Everyone, this truly is a miracle." Elbert pointed to the numbers on the screen. "But it was not me who made this miracle! It was achieved by all of us together; each of you is a part of this miracle. Or rather, each of you is a miracle!"
Many Creator employees were moved to tears. Yes. In 12 hours, the Gemini app stage went live! In 24 hours, Gemini app Music went from nothing to something! Four hundred people were working tirelessly, and they were too busy even to drink water. They created this miracle!
"Thank you all for your efforts!" Elbert and Alvin both nodded slightly!
"You all know that our company's next step is to move into live streaming! So, without further ado, to avoid delaying the celebration and work, let's talk money directly!" Elbert smiled. "Don't blame me for being tacky; the success of the Gemini app stage means everyone gets a bonus! Each person, according to their current job level, will receive a corresponding bonus!"
He continued, "Starting at $30,000! For those with outstanding contributions, starting at $100,000! And from today on, all colleagues who participated in this battle will have their base salary increased by 50%!"
As soon as Elbert finished speaking, the cheers were deafening!
"Oh my God!"
"Am I mishearing?"
"Boss is so generous!"
"Long live the Creator!"
"Long live Alvin!"
"Long live Paul!"
Alvin was also extremely happy and pretended to be angry, shouting, "Don't call me Alvin, call me Mr. Weaver!"
"Yes, long live Mr. Weaver!"
"We're rich!" they exclaimed.
Elbert smiled, quietly watching everything. Money meant nothing to him. But being able to make more people feel satisfied, happy, and successful was another kind of fulfillment. One that money couldn't measure!
Elbert also deeply realized that from the moment he got Robert Williams, his world changed. He had a mission. An individual was just a small part of life; achieving the true ideal was the ultimate meaning.
In the crowd, Elbert looked around and saw Walter sitting in the hallway lounge. Opposite him was a shy girl in casual clothes and a somewhat arrogant middle-aged woman. Elbert smiled gently. This kid is indeed a deserving hero. He must lend a hand.
In the lounge.
There were three cups of steaming hot tea on the table. The middle-aged woman curled her lips and looked at the somewhat at-a-loss Walter.
"Walter, what kind of job do you have? Three days and nights without a trace? What are you thinking, do you still want to date Briana? You're not a very qualified boyfriend, are you?"
Walter, who would be full of energy at the sight of code, was now very dejected. He scratched his head and apologized, "Mrs. Mike, our company is at a critical moment, so it's been a bit busy with a lot of overtime."
The middle-aged woman arrogantly glanced around the Creator's office. This company looked pretty decent to her.
'Such a big company, Walter's salary can't be below!' she thought.
"Walter, to marry Briana, you need to have basic material security." She raised an eyebrow. "Let me ask you, how much is the annual property fee for your garage?"
Walter was very puzzled. He had worked for a few years and saved enough money to buy a 700-square-foot apartment in the outer ring. But there was no garage!
'This is a trick question! If I say I don't have a garage, it not only proves my apartment is subpar but also that I don't have a car! If I say the property fee is low, it means even if I can afford a garage, the community's grade is not good!' he thought.
'If I say the property fee is high, it can prove my apartment is good. But that's a lie, and I can't back it up later, so I'll be exposed!'
In just a second, lots of thoughts flickered in his mind.
Walter looked helplessly at his girlfriend, Briana. At this moment, Briana also looked reproachfully at her mother.
At this tense moment, Elbert strolled over leisurely.
Seeing Elbert's move, Walter was about to stand up. Elbert smiled slightly, pressing his shoulder down and making him sit. "Walter, let me answer this for you. You are too nervous."
Walter wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Thanks, boss."
"Today, I will teach you how to answer this kind of question," Elbert said, turning to the middle-aged woman. "Walter is an excellent employee and very important to my company. We just decided to reward Walter with two houses, one in the downtown area and one in a suburban villa. Both have garages!"
Elbert paused and smiled. "Ma'am, which house's property fee are you asking about?"
