When it comes to Xiao Tuan Tuan in the PUBG section of the online game industry, I believe she is very familiar with her, she is one of the most popular female anchors in Douyu now, in 2019, with a series of magical and brainwashing voices, Xiao Tuan Tuan quickly gained tens of millions of fans on the whole network and became the best female anchor of the year. She also likes to say "Ness" in her loose English. The voice is very consistent with the image of the energetic girl, and it is full of positive vitality. Many netizens expressed shock and regret at her arrest, believing that she should have cherished her talent and career instead of embarking on the road of breaking the law.
Now the live broadcast circle is talking about this matter, and there is no official answer to how it works, but it is very likely to be related to the "card lottery", the amount involved is 48 million, and her assistant alone will have to stay in it for six years, not to mention her as the organizer, it is likely to be eight years!
On January 27, "Xiao Tuan Tuan" posted a dynamic announcement at Douyu Fish Bar to stop broadcasting, and there has been no news since then, and her Weibo update is stuck on December 2, 2023.
The lawyer said that "Xiaotuantuan", as an anchor of the Douyu platform, is related to a gambling case, and the crime may be gambling or opening a casino, and the sentence is between 3-5 years.
According to the news, Chen Shaojie, the founder and CEO of Douyu, has been released on bail pending trial. Chen Shaojie's arrest was related to the crime of opening a casino, and this revelation made the complexity of the whole incident even more obvious. For the CEO of an internet business, the accusations involving the crime of opening a casino are shocking enough. This is not only a matter of personal ethics and legal bottom line, but also has a serious adverse impact on the company's reputation, business and operating conditions.
The arrest of Chen Shaojie, the head of the company, has had a great impact on Douyu, and a large number of top anchors on the platform have either disappeared or switched to other platforms.
Douyu's former big anchor Xu Xu Baobao left a message on his Douyin homepage "There is something recently, I won't broadcast live for the time being", and he has not broadcast live since November 18.
Some well-known or former anchors of Douyu such as Doinb, My Neighbor Totoro, I am Da Kun Kun, Sun Wukong and others have stopped broadcasting, which can't help but make people think about it.
An industry insider close to Douyu in Beijing revealed to reporters that Douyu's accident this time may involve a group of head game anchors in the future, mostly due to participation in gambling and money laundering.
According to the official report, Chen Moujie is suspected of opening a casino, and a certain fish is a gambling platform
According to a report by China Youth Network, the live broadcast room of the "Changsha Rural Death Squad" was called "the largest casino in Douyu" by netizens. In 2020, the turnover of the live broadcast room was as high as 177 million yuan, and the daily turnover was as high as 13 million. At the 2020 Douyu "Fish Music Festival" annual award ceremony held by Douyu, the live broadcast room was also elected as the platform's top ten peak anchors of the year.
If you have watched the live broadcast content of the "A Fish" platform, you will find that many head anchors will be in the live broadcast room, as long as the broadcast starts, they will be in the card lottery, a few yuan for a card, but the reward after winning the lottery is very high, so it has attracted a lot of viewers to apply for a large number of cards.
On the evening of November 21, 2023, Douyu Company announced that the company's CEO Chen Shaojie was arrested by the Chengdu police around November 16, 2023. At noon on November 22, 2023, the Chengdu Dujiangyan City Public Security Bureau issued a police notice, "After investigation, it was found that Chen Moujie (male, 39 years old) was suspected of opening a casino. At present, Chen Moujie has been arrested in accordance with the law. Further investigation is ongoing. ”
Douyu has gone from a peak valuation of more than US$4.5 billion (25.6 billion yuan) when it was listed on the U.S. stock market in July 2019 to a total market value of US$265 million (1.9 billion yuan) today, evaporating more than 90% in five years.
At present, I am working normally and my salary is paid normally. There are fewer employees at the workstations in the office area, and they are all in normal office. Employees are wary of the arrest of the company's CEO and are reluctant to talk about it.
The office of Douyu Network Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly located in the new development international center of Wuhan Optics Valley Software Park. In April 2022, it was reported that Douyu Live laid off 30% of its staff as a whole, mainly for game business and live broadcast brokerage, and the layoffs were concentrated in teams in Shanghai and Beijing, and the Wuhan headquarters was also involved. On March 26 this year, Douyu released its 2023 financial report, which is the first annual report to turn losses into profits in the past three years, but it is not difficult to find that like most Internet platforms that have turned around losses, the improvement of Douyu's profitability does not come from the growth of revenue, but from cost control, and now the total number of Douyu employees has dropped from 2,000 at the peak to more than 1,000, and it is rumored that it will be further reduced to 800 people in the future.
