Chapter 487: Chapter 285: Are You Bad or Am I Bad_2
Hearing that earning a hundred thousand would require a breach compensation of five million, Ding Wen and Chen Xueqiang exchanged another glance. This breach compensation was too harsh, almost cutting off their retreat route after gaining some startup traffic.
"Can we take this contract with us to study it? It’s a big deal, so we should be a bit cautious!"
"Of course, you can take it. You’re right. Signing a contract is about mutual cooperation, essentially resource complementation for mutual benefit. Caution is warranted!"
"Then the two of us won’t disturb President Zhao’s work for now. We’ll come back to bother you once we have news!"
"OK!"
...
Seeing the two of them leave, Zhao Bingguang slightly frowned, standing at the window watching for a long time, not knowing what was on his mind.
Elsewhere, after Chen Xueqiang and Ding Wen got downstairs, just as they got into the car, they couldn’t help but complain.
"Damn it, it’s said that these MCN company contracts are harsh. Looking at it this way, it sure is strict! To sign or not to sign? What should we do?" Chen Xueqiang couldn’t help but ask.
Ding Wen took out a cigarette, handed one to his partner, and also lit one himself, taking a deep drag.
"When it comes to contract matters, it’s best to find a professional to take a look, to make sure there are no hidden pitfalls!"
"If there are no hidden pitfalls, your opinion is to sign, right?" Chen Xueqiang continued to ask.
"I think it’s acceptable! The contract clearly states that the guild takes half of the reward income, but rewards in the outdoor fishing sector are not the main thing; the delivery by yellow car is. Those earnings are completely ours!
I just checked Zhang Yang’s big account, nearly 700 to 800 thousand followers. When he goes live and directs some traffic our way, there surely will be attention!
When the timing is right, we’ll let the company provide products that we can sell through the yellow car, and won’t the money flow as easily as water?
If I hadn’t come to the company to see, I wouldn’t have known that in just a few years, this famous fishing gear company has developed to such a scale.
I took a casual glance; just on the office side, there must be a team of dozens, right? Counting the factory and warehouse industries, the company’s scale is definitely bigger than we imagined!"
Seeing his partner’s stance, Chen Xueqiang nodded, "Then we’ll go with your plan. Let’s find someone to look at the contract, and if there are no issues, we’ll sign it; forget about Yingke and start anew!"
"Deal!"
...
The two of them, having made up their minds, already had enough understanding of fishing, but were incredibly naive when it came to other fields. The third contract terms brought out by old Zhao were so harsh, yet the two little brothers thought the market was just like that, and they initially agreed.
In the following period, the two found a lawyer friend to look briefly at the contract terms, and explained the possibly hidden risks to them simply so they’d have a baseline understanding.
The problematic areas had already been emphasized by old Zhao in the office; besides the breach compensation being a bit of a pitfall, the other terms were acceptable.
After some symbolic weighing and hesitation, the two returned to old Zhao’s office on the third day to sign the contract.
Looking at the three copies of the completed signed contract, old Zhao couldn’t help but admire Zhang Yang’s judgment.
Almost without any cost, they picked up two oxen-horses, and they’re those with fluent business experience. Signing this contract felt too good!
As for the other party’s loyalty issues, there were contract terms to constrain them. Not breaching is just fine, and if they do breach, they can make a big profit. It’s a win-win deal inside and out.
Three days later, all matters related to the contract were signed and connected, the cattle-horse duo registered a new streaming account and made their debut on Kuaishou.
Old anchor, new platform, new account. The previously accumulated popularity still had some foundation, and they brought a wave of old fans with them from the old platform.
On the day of the broadcast, the number of people in the stream barely held at about fifty, already stronger than many cold-start accounts.
But that’s not the main point; about forty minutes into the broadcast, during the peak period for fishing in the black pit, gifts suddenly flooded the stream.
[Famous Worldwide Outdoor Fishing sent Cloud-Piercing Arrows ×30, and says, new account, new journey, welcome to the Kuaishou family!]
[Show Brother Loves Fishing sent Cloud-Piercing Arrows ×20, and says, Show Brother is just visiting, wishing the broadcast skyrockets!]
[Meow Meow Loves Fishing sent Cloud-Piercing Arrows ×10...]
[Potato Fishing sent Cloud-Piercing Arrows ×10...]
...
Man, Zhang Yang’s big account led with thirty Cloud-Piercing Arrows, followed by many fishing streamers under the same company joining in gifting.
One after another, over twenty streamers came to the stream, some gifting twenty or thirty Cloud-Piercing Arrows, the fewest being ten Cloud-Piercing Arrows each, and in just less than an hour of the broadcast, they made nearly a hundred thousand just from gift income.
The room was bombarded with Cloud-Piercing Arrows like they were free, and dozens of accompanying treasure boxes stacked up. Viewers rushed into the stream to grab them, and the fifty-something viewer count shot up to a thousand.
Ding Wen and Chen Xueqiang had seen some of the world but were still a bit bewildered by the guild members’ support like this.
"Thank you to Famous Worldwide Brother for the thirty Cloud-Piercing Arrows! Thank you to Show Brother for the twenty Cloud-Piercing Arrows! Thank you..."
After a series of thanks, even Chen Xueqiang, who was fishing on the box, couldn’t sit still with so much gift income at their debut show.
"What’s going on?"
"It’s nothing, just keep streaming! It’s our debut show; friends are here to support!
Welcome to all the brothers and sisters entering our stream!
Let me introduce myself. I’m Ding Wen, and in the frame is my partner, Chen Xueqiang!
We used to play on other platforms, and today is our first live debut! We mainly stream black pit fishing, and I have had the fortune to participate in fishing competitions for a few years, so I have some insights on fishing. If any of you in the stream have fishing-related questions, feel free to interact in the chat, and I’ll answer as best as I can!
If you grabbed a treasure box, don’t rush to leave. Click the plus sign next to the profile picture, and it’ll be easier to find us in the future!
Qiangzi, why are you still dazing? While the brothers are here in the stream, show us your carp Flying Copy!"
Having gotten into the streaming mode, Ding Wen smoothly interacted with the stream audience and quickly found his groove.
Fans continued to message in the public chat, and they passed through the most challenging part of the streaming debut smoothly.
...
Elsewhere, Zhang Yang and old Zhao were unusually drinking tea in the office.
Old Zhao, a cigarette in his mouth, curiously asked, "Didn’t you say it yourself, just oxen-horses delivered on a plate, why arrange so many people to support with gifts after signing the third agreement?
Even if it’s a debut, just a random gesture with about eight hundred or a thousand would be fine; what happened just now cost at least a hundred thousand! And it all came out of the company’s funds!"
Zhang Yang cracked a mischievous smile, "I know, the contract’s signed, but you gotta give some benefits, right? If they get less than ten or eighty thousand and breach the contract and run, we wouldn’t earn much!
Now by supporting as individual signed streamers of the guild, doesn’t it tie them down?"
Even a cunning and seasoned old Zhao couldn’t help but quip after hearing Zhang Yang’s words, "Damn it, when it comes to not having a conscience, it’s still you... Why didn’t I think of that!"
"Haha, neither of us should point fingers. This support gifting, if they work well, it’s just support and encouragement, but if they have other thoughts, they have to pay fifty times as per the contract!
Other streamers have first-class and second-class contracts, finally signing a third-class, it’s worth spending some money!"
"You, you... I’m curious how that mind of yours works!
The platform’s yellow car business is mature now; when do we consider promoting our company’s own products officially?
The signed streamer account matrix is basically scaled up, shouldn’t we use it?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, "Not yet. The platform’s growth dividend isn’t fully leveraged yet! It’s too early now!
Starting online promotion and delivery now would easily ruin the brand’s reputation!"
"Ruin the reputation? How is that possible?" Hearing this, old Zhao, rarely, furrowed his brows.
The quality of the company’s products is undeniable, even if they’re taken online, it shouldn’t damage the reputation.
Zhang Yang pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this.
