Recently, according to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, the well-known anchor "Xiao Tuantuan" of Douyu was confirmed to be arrested. A person familiar with the matter said that "Xiaotuantuan" was suspected of large-scale gambling and was related to the Chen Shaojie case.
On the morning of the 23rd, the news of the well-known Betta anchor # A small group confirmed his arrest# appeared on the hot search.
According to Zhengguan News, on the morning of April 23, the reporter called Douyu's official phone number several times, but as of press time, no one answered.
The "One Small Tuantuan" voice pack is still available for download normally
On January 27, the anchor "Xiao Tuantuan" posted a dynamic in Douyu Fish Bar to announce the suspension of broadcasting, and there has been no news since then, and her Weibo update is stuck on December 2, 2023.
It is understood that "A Small Tuantuan" has 26 million fans in Douyu and 37 million fans in Douyin, and received more than 5 million yuan in reward income in a single month in May 2019, second only to "Xuxu Baby" at that time, surpassing PDD.
According to Chao News, at present, a small group of betta live broadcast rooms has not been banned. In this regard, Douyu customer service said that based on the actual page display, no relevant ban notice has been received at present.
The commercial value of "A Small Tuantuan" is very high, with 26 million Douyu fans and nearly 37 million Douyin fans. With more than 10 million users, it is one of the most popular navigation voice packs. In this regard, many netizens left a message: Will the voice package be taken off the shelves? In this regard, the reporter also consulted, but has not received a response for the time being.
The company owned by "A Little Group" has just released a game
According to the Qichacha APP, Hunan Milk Group Culture Media Co., Ltd., an affiliate of Milk Group Media created by "A Small Group", recently registered a software copyright called "Bomb Diggers".
It is reported that the software is a small game, and on April 2, the company released relevant information in the betta fish bar and solicited opinions and ideas. In addition, Tang Cuiying, the company's major shareholder and legal representative, applied for a number of "small milk balls" trademarks in January this year, and the international classification includes food, beer and beverages, half of which were recently rejected.
A large number of betta anchors suspended live broadcasts
According to public information, in November 2023, Chen Shaojie, CEO of Douyu, was arrested by the Chengdu Dujiangyan Public Security Bureau on suspicion of opening a casino. After the incident, Douyu set up a temporary management committee and said that "at present, Douyu is operating normally, and the investigation has not had a significant impact on the company's operations." Since then, there has been no disclosure of Chen Shaojie's information about Douyu.
But the arrest of the company's helmsman involved in the case still had a big impact on Douyu. After Chen Shaojie was arrested, a group of Douyu head anchors suspended the live broadcast. At that time, it was rumored in the industry that the anchor's suspension of broadcasting may be related to the Chen Shaojie case, and he may be suspected of participating in gambling and money laundering.
On April 23, as the news of Xiao Tuantuan's confirmed arrest spread, #PDD#也随之冲上微博热搜.
The data shows that the last broadcast time of Douyu anchor PDD was on November 14, 2023, and the suspension time was as long as 161 days, more than 5 months. According to the Western Decision report, in this regard, Douyu customer service said that the current status of the anchor's live broadcast room is normal, and whether to start broadcasting is the anchor's personal choice.
At present, Douyu's head anchors Zhang Daxian and Xuxu Baby have settled in Douyin, while PDD and Da Sima are still on the air.
Douyu continues to lose paying users
According to Zhengguan News, Douyu's paying users are still losing money, with MAUs (monthly active users) in the fourth quarter of 2023 being 51.7 million, a decrease of 5.7 million compared with the same period last year, and an average of 3.7 million paying users in the fourth quarter, a year-on-year decrease of 1.9 million.
In 2023, Douyu will usher in its first annual report in nearly three years, but its revenue will continue to decline. Douyu's revenue from 2020 to 2023 will be 9.6 billion yuan, 9.1 billion yuan, 7.1 billion yuan, and 5.53 billion yuan respectively, which is on a downward trajectory, and in terms of net profit, Douyu will lose money for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022, and will finally turn losses into profits in 2023, with a net profit of 154 million yuan.
The 21st Century Business Herald previously reported that in the results call on December 7 last year, Douyu's management mentioned: "In the past three years, from a macro point of view, the environment of the domestic game live broadcast industry has been in a state of change, and policies and markets and the overall economic environment are important factors that need to be considered. The live streaming industry has entered the stage of normalized supervision, and there will be more in-depth and stronger requirements for content, review, regulatory compliance, operations, etc. ”
In response to the issue of internal supervision measures, the management replied that it is continuously strengthening compliance and standardizing operations, and implemented various measures for some platform managers in the quarter, and solved some transactions, game props and other issues.
It is worth mentioning that Betta has been frequently named before. According to Cyberspace China, on May 8, 2023, in response to serious ecological problems such as pornography and vulgarity in Douyu, the Cyberspace Administration of China instructed the Hubei Provincial Internet Information Office to send a working group to the Douyu platform to carry out a one-month centralized rectification and supervision.
As of the latest close, Douyu shares are $8.29, with a total market capitalization of $265 million. At the beginning of 2021, the market value of Betta Fish exceeded $3 billion, and now it has evaporated by more than 9%.
