426: This can be considered turning waste into treasure.
[ Ding! ]
[ Fang Zewei and Jiang Zhibin are suitable for the self-media industry. This time, a [ hidden task - Expand Team ] has been triggered for the Host! ]
[ Task Name: Expand Team! ]
[ Task Content: Recruit Fang Zewei and Jiang Zhibin into the Host's self-media company (part-time or collaborative recruitment is allowed). ]
[ Task Reward: 1 million in cash, unlock new storage permissions for [ storage space ]! ]
[ New [ storage space ] Permission Introduction: In addition to [ Mysterious Surprise Item ]s, it can now store intelligence items refreshed from intelligence. ]
" If I recruit these two as streamers, I can get 1 million in cash and unlock new permissions for [ storage space ]! "
The 1 million in cash is secondary; Ye Su is not short of that money right now.
The new permissions unlocked for [ storage space ] are actually more useful to Ye Su.
Besides the two hidden tasks of helping Yan Ran find her sister and arranging a job for Meng Feiyu, which rewarded a total of 4 [ storage space ]s.
After successfully claiming compensation from the Chilun 4S Dealership yesterday and receiving the [ hidden easter egg ] reward of three [ storage space ]s, Ye Su now has 7 [ storage space ]s.
Four of them are used to store [ Working Cat ]s and other [ Mysterious Surprise Item ]s, and there are 3 spaces left idle, with no idea what to put in them.
Now that the new permission is unlocked, if he encounters intelligence items like gold bars again, or is asked to dig up heavy objects like safes somewhere, Ye Su can just put them into [ storage space ] first.
Not only is it convenient, but he won't need to rent a separate house just to store and temporarily handle these things in the future.
" It's truly a case of 'raising a son for a thousand days to use him for one moment.' These two foster sons can finally repay their foster father! "
The suddenly refreshed [ hidden task ] made Ye Su find Jiang Zhibin and the other one much more pleasing to the eye.
" Boss Ye! "
Jiang Zhibin was the first to notice that the look in Ye Su's eyes was a bit different from before, and he instantly crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Ye Su vigilantly:
" Why are you looking at me with such a lecherous gaze? We're just roommates, and I only like rich women and big-breasted beauties. Don't you dare get any ideas about me! "
That one sentence made Ye Su start to doubt whether recruiting this 'talent' into his company was the right choice.
" I have indeed set my sights on you. "
Ye Su's single sentence made the three of them act as if they were facing a great enemy.
Not only did Jiang Zhibin look fearfully at the door, searching for an escape route for himself.
Fang Zewei and Lin Jingjie also secretly moved their chairs to the side, staying as far away from Ye Su as possible.
Worried that his sandbag-sized fists might be too much for the three of them to handle with just one punch, Ye Su had to suppress the urge to punch each of them and continued to explain:
" I've opened an MCN company, and I'm planning to recruit some talented streamers or those who can create entertaining content.
Anyway, you're not doing anything proper and spend all day playing around with abstract stuff. Why don't you come to my company, set up an account, and shoot some skits? It can be considered turning waste into treasure. "
" Wow— "
Hearing that Ye Su didn't have any special fetishes, Jiang Zhibin let out a long sigh of relief and put on a mournful face again:
" What abstract! What turning waste into treasure! You rich people really say such nasty things! "
Ye Su ignored Jiang Zhibin's accusation and glanced at him indifferently: " So, are you coming or not? "
" Hmm... "
This time, Jiang Zhibin was uncharacteristically serious. He thought carefully for a moment before answering conflictedly:
" I've watched a lot of short videos, but I've never shot one myself, nor have I ever done a livestream. I don't know if I can do this line of work? "
Like the vast majority of ordinary people, Jiang Zhibin was just a child from an ordinary family.
His parents supported him through 12 years of schooling just to get him into an ordinary undergraduate university.
He chose computer science with the intention that after graduation, he could find a relatively decent job, sit in an office building with air conditioning, not have to endure the wind and sun, and have a decent income.
Once his job was stable, he would follow the routine of getting married, having a child, carrying a mortgage and car loan, and working diligently until retirement.
As for the life of an internet celebrity or streamer, earning tens of thousands a month, that had never been in Jiang Zhibin's consideration.
Furthermore, given his family circumstances, he didn't have many opportunities to make mistakes.
A man fears choosing the wrong profession, a woman fears marrying the wrong man.
Once a career choice is wrong, his life will change accordingly, developing in a direction where he doesn't know if it's good or bad.
Even just to give his family an answer, Jiang Zhibin dared not enter the streaming industry without hesitation.
" Whether you can do it or not, you won't know until you try. "
Ye Su could see Jiang Zhibin's concerns, so he persuaded him:
" I'm the one paying for the traffic, and if there's a loss, it's on me. You just need to take advantage of the time before you find an internship, learn from those bloggers, and shoot some funny skits. Once you have fans, you can start doing livestreams. "
" This... I... " Jiang Zhibin was still hesitant.
Ye Su knew that with his personality, someone needed to give him a push from behind:
" What 'this' and 'that'? You're a grown man, why are you being so wishy-washy? You only live once, you should try everything.
Anyway, I don't have any KPI requirements here. How many videos you shoot a month or how many hours you livestream is all up to your own schedule.
For the money the account earns, apart from my traffic investment and operational costs, we'll split the rest 30/70. If you still want to find a development-related job, just treat this as a side hustle. Do whatever you need to do during the day, and do the videos and livestreams after you get off work.
You know how high the unemployment rate is right now. Having a self-media account means if you ever get laid off in the future, you won't have to resort to selling your ass. "
Jiang Zhibin usually didn't have a serious bone in his body, but he wasn't heartless either.
Compared to the treatment of MCN-signed influencers rumored online, the terms Ye Su offered were almost like charity.
The reason Ye Su did this was surely out of their three-year friendship as roommates, wanting to do his best to help his roommate out:
" If you put it that way, then I'll work with you. It's just that I don't know how to do livestreams or shoot skits. If I really lose money, don't blame me. "
" If you don't know how, can't you learn? " Ye Su started hyping him up again:
" Although our school can't compare to 985 or 211 universities, it's still ranked among the ordinary undergraduate institutions in Guangdong Province. The fact that you could get into Linggong means you've already surpassed 90% of people.
If you could get into Linggong, it proves there's nothing wrong with your brain. Are you still afraid you can't learn how to shoot a few videos or sit in a streaming room and chat? "
" Hmm... " Jiang Zhibin scratched his head: " That actually seems to be the case. "
Seeing this, Ye Su immediately made the final decision: " Alright, it's settled then. "
" Yeah. " Jiang Zhibin nodded heavily.
Being brothers is in the heart.
He couldn't say those mushy words out loud.
But Jiang Zhibin decided that he would push himself hard from now on and not let down Ye Su's kindness.
