Chapter 55: The Spirit of Contract
Guan Xin's prediction was accurate.
After only two days, some platforms couldn't hold their breath and took the initiative to raise the offer.
The first to stand up is the old club Menghu TV.
After learning that even the sworn enemy shark had made a move, Shuai Hu and the others immediately couldn't sit still, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they increased the signing fee to two million, and promised to pay it all in one go.
This is not over, in order to prevent a lot of dreams at night, it didn't take long for the price to increase from two million to three million.
In just a few days, the offer tripled.
Menghu was eager to sign Xue Chen's thoughts, and it was revealed.
However, at this time, the person who sat firmly in Diaoyutai became Xue Chen.
The major platforms are competing for the head and bidding wildly.
Not taking a stand is the most advantageous attitude.
In the following period, Xue Chen broadcast live as usual, and his popularity increased steadily, and his momentum became stronger and stronger.
During the period of watching the tiger fight, he also released the third issue of the Barbarian King Teaching of the War Mystic Book as usual, and successfully made the sales of the War Mystic Book break through 2,000 and enter the gold fight every day.
Defeating the longevity of cheats sales also provides one more reason for major platforms to make great efforts to pursue Xue Chen.
These 2,000 paying users alone are enough to make any live streaming platform excited.
It's just that,There's a limit to everything.,There's also a limit to the patience of the platform.,Seeing that I took out everything I could,The other party is reluctant to express his position.,A platform led by Menghu TV can't help but be anxiousใ
They didn't know that Xue Chen's negotiations with Shark TV had come to an end at this time.
As the leader of the domestic live broadcast industry, Shark TV occupies nearly 40% of the market share of the live broadcast industry, especially its game sector, which is more than half.
Just like watching online articles, no one doesn't know the starting point, as long as they watch the live broadcast of the game, no one doesn't know the name of the shark.
As a member of all living beings, this platform is also Xue Chen's live broadcast enlightener, and not long after entering the pit, he watched the S2 World Finals on Shark TV.
There is a saying that online literature creates gods to enter the starting point, and live broadcasts create gods to watch sharks.
Since you want to do live broadcast as a career, then Xue Chen has to do his best, and the ceiling of Shark TV is undoubtedly the highest among the major live broadcast platforms.
Again, this is where the competition among streamers is the most intense.
Xue Chen likes sharks, and sharks also have quite good sincerity here.
At the beginning, the two sides talked very well, and after learning that other platforms were increasing their weights, the sharks also took the initiative to increase the offer.
In terms of the signing fee, the two sides quickly agreed.
There is only one issue, and that is that there has been no consensus on the issue of extension resources.
This time, Shark sent out to contact Xue Chen was one of the people in charge of the content of its game section, a editor-in-chief named Huagang.
In the dialogue with Huagang, Xue Chen proposed that after he settled in, he hoped to get the promotion resources of the first-line anchors.
This is a treatment that can be taken out by a live broadcast platform such as Menghu, and it is not too much for Xue Chen to take the initiative to ask for it.
If you run all the way over just to be a second-rate anchor, then it is better to stay in Menghu, so that at least you can have a good reputation.
It is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the ox.
Xue Chen certainly has a yearning for sharks, but he is not stupid enough to ignore the future.
In this regard, Huagang refused at first, and after a stalemate, he said that he could not be the master in this matter, and he needed to ask the above.
The next day, Granite brought good news, the BOSS agreed to Xue Chen's request, but also put forward a condition.
That is, you have to sign a long-term contract of at least three years.
This is not difficult to understand, what the shark is worried about is nothing more than using the top promotion resources of its own platform to make Xue Chen a god, but when he is coming, he makes a wedding dress for others.
After all, a year is too short, and it is not enough to even return to the capital.
10 million signing fee + top promotion resources in exchange for a three-year long contract, for a new anchor, Shark is already very sincere as the boss of the industry.
Xue Chen's difficulty is that three years is too long, it is now the S5 season, and it will be S8 in three years, although from the perspective of the live broadcast development trajectory of Planet D, S8 League of Legends still occupies an unshakable hegemony in the market, but as the capital outlet retreats, it is inevitable that it will gradually go downhill.
At that time, even if you really become a first-line big anchor, how many more years can you earn?
What's more, he is about to turn 18, and he will be 21 in three years, which is also difficult for a person who also has e-sports dreams in his heart.
On this issue, the two sides have been deadlocked for a long time, and no one can convince anyone.
In the end, they could only take a step back, the shark reduced the contract from three years to two years, and the signing fee that Xue Chen got was directly cut in half, from 10 million to 5 million.
Some people think that Xue Chen is stupid, and he has lost millions of dollars just from the signing fee.
However, the parties themselves were quite satisfied with the result.
No one knows better than Xue Chen that his worth in two years is not measurable at the million-level level.
If you don't even have this bit of self-confidence, then you can make more money as an anchor and go to work early to play professionally.
After everything was negotiated, Xue Chen posted the news of the suspension on his personal Weibo and fan base, and began a week-long suspension of broadcasting.
Soon, the shark passed the electronic version of the contract first.
Xue Chen deliberately checked the contract with a professional, and after confirming that it was correct, he set off for the shark headquarters.
Accompanied by his father, Xue Chen flew to Jiangcheng, located in the central part of the motherland, where the shark's headquarters is located.
From getting off the plane to staying in the hotel, from travel to dining, the father and son all received thoughtful courtesy, and they didn't have to worry about it at all.
On the third day of coming to Jiangcheng, in the office of the shark headquarters, Xue Chen officially signed the contract with the legal representative sent by the shark.
Because he has not yet reached the age of 18, according to the Contract Law, his father Xue Dingguo must also sign in the guardian column before the contract can be officially effective.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xue Chen and his father visited Jiangcheng, and the father and son were left on famous scenic spots such as the Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River Bridge.
After dinner, they returned to the hotel, which was also the last night of their trip.
Before going to bed, Xue Dingguo lit a cigarette and called his son to the window: "Child, you are out now, it is millions a year, to be honest, Dad doesn't know if it's true or not, it feels like a dream." โ
The old father, until this time, was shocked by his son's worth.
The hard-earned money earned over the past few decades is not as much as his son's contract.
"Dad, you don't have to go to work in the future, after Mom has the operation, you two elders can enjoy Qingfu at home, and I will support you."
Xue Chen was very moved, among the two paths of career and live broadcast, he chose the latter for only one purpose, that is, to make his family live a better life.
"That's not good, what you earn is what you earn, I still have to go to my class, although I earn less, but I can't sit at home...... Don't worry, although my dad is old, he is not old enough to even go to work, besides, if you call me to be laid off now, what do others think of your dad? โ
Xue Dingguo shook his head and looked at the river stretching for thousands of miles outside the window, as if he was looking at his son's endless future.
Xue Chen was silent, as a new generation born on the tail of the old century, although their generation and the previous generation have not crossed the century, there is still a huge gap between the two generations in terms of three views and lifestyles.
"Child, you can achieve your current results are all based on your own ability, Dad is proud of you, but also feels very guilty, not only did the family not help you, but also has been dragging you down, Dad can't help it."
"I know, you don't mind this, you've always had a more mature mindset and a sense of family responsibility than your peers."
"But, there is one thing that Dad still has to talk more, and he is not afraid that you will feel verbose, I have been watching news about this on the Internet in the past few days before I came, and I have seen a lot of people who say that it is the norm for your anchor industry to breach contract and change jobs, and nine out of ten anchors have done breach of contract, you people, you are young and ambitious, and you have no social experience, no wonder."
"Dad only studied a secondary school in his life, and he still studied as a technician, without any culture, and he will not talk about some big truths like your teacher, but I always think that credibility is a very important thing, no matter what industry, people do not stand without trust, you have grown up now, as long as you feel the right thing, just do it, just one thing do not forget, the spirit of the contract."
Xue Dingguo's true feelings revealed: "In Dad's heart, these four words are more important than Mount Tai. โ
"Dad, I see."
Xue Chen nodded and was taught.
The river was churning outside the window, and his father's admonition lingered in his heart for a long time.
At this moment, Xue Chen remembered the famous words: The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are gone... hero
