187: Chapter 187 Su Yang Trys His Best to Fulfill His Opponent's Wishes! Give Them If They Want Them!
A long time ago, when he performed Business Deduction on these internet celebrities, he had already discovered something.
Starting around June or July, many MCN Companies would target the internet celebrities signed by Su Yang, using high prices to poach people from Spark Media.
But back then, Su Yang didn't have any particularly good solutions!
After all, that was a future event; how could he prevent it?
Offer a group of internet celebrities a guaranteed annual salary of one million?
This, he really... did not want to do!
Therefore, he always prioritized signing those internet celebrities who did not jump ship in his Business Deduction.
In this world, there are ungrateful wretches who cannot be tamed, just as there are employees who know how to be grateful!
As long as the difference in compensation wasn't too large, they were still more willing to stay at Spark Media, which had cultivated them.
But now June was approaching... it was time to deal with this bunch of MCN Companies!
How dare they poach his people!
So... Su Yang opened his computer and pulled up a pile of internet celebrity profiles.
These were all profiles of internet celebrities that Spark Media had recommended to him, but which hadn't passed his screening.
He first used Business Deduction as a control group.
[First month: ... Spark Media profit 230,000]
[Second month: ... Spark Media profit 360,000]
... Don't mind this profit!
Spark Media had been developing with full force, constantly pouring money into cultivating its signed internet celebrities.
Anyway, since there was a refund on salary and benefits, Su Yang never thought about taking the company's profits.
Instead, he encouraged Yu Siying to develop with full force and expand the company's scale!
As long as the company could barely break even, he was quite satisfied!
He opened another folder he had prepared long ago.
Inside were over a hundred internet celebrities who looked decent but hadn't passed his screening; they were a portion of those previously recommended to him by Spark Media!
Then, he began to use Business Deduction on these hundred-plus internet celebrities:
[You sign Xu Sifeng, Ou Sujuan, Qiao Lizhong, Chen Wei, and 133 others as Spark Media's trainees, with a base salary of 10,000!]
[First month: Li Xiang and six other signed internet celebrities surpass one million fans... Chen Wei and six others are poached by Yingfeng Media, Ronghua Media, and other MCN Companies; Spark Media receives 2 million in liquidated damages, Spark Media profit 1.27 million.]
[Second month: Zhou Douyun and nine other signed internet celebrities surpass one million fans... Xu Sifeng and 25 others are poached by Yingfeng Media, Rongyue Media, and other MCNs; Spark Media receives 5.8 million in liquidated damages, Spark Media profit 4.35 million.]
[Third month: ... Qiao Lizhong and 22 others are poached by Liren Media, Shenghao Media, and other MCNs; Spark Media receives 5.04 million in liquidated damages, Spark Media profit 5.54 million.]
[Fourth month: ... Ou Sujuan and 18 others are poached by other MCNs; Spark Media receives 3.21 million in liquidated damages, Spark Media profit 3.76 million.]
... Seeing these MCN Companies poaching people so crazily, Su Yang fell silent.
Previously, he hadn't tallied up exactly how many companies were poaching the internet celebrities signed under him!
Now he realized that almost every MCN Company in Rongcheng with any fame and strength was taking action to poach his signed internet celebrities!
This also included those from Hangzhou, Yangcheng, and Shenzhen; they had truly come from thousands of miles away to... deliver money!
Su Yang could still understand being poached so crazily.
Perhaps it was because the company's signed internet celebrities were performing too well!
The better the signed internet celebrities of Spark Media performed.
The more valuable the batch of internet celebrities he had personally signed became, the more it would attract the covetous eyes of a large group of MCN Companies.
Once someone successfully poached someone, other powerful and wealthy MCN Companies would flock over too!
It was just like a football team with a weak foundation; once they achieved results in the Champions League.
That group of powerhouse football teams would come knocking to buy players!
Commonly known as "stocking up"!
This bunch of profit-driven MCN Companies... had truly lost all shame!
Su Yang suddenly wondered if the liquidated damages set for the signed internet celebrities were too low?
However, Su Yang was also a bit helpless; liquidated damages couldn't just be set arbitrarily!
Even if you set the liquidated damages at one hundred million, so what? The court wouldn't support it!
But he could still get people from Hongyu to help and raise the liquidated damages as much as possible.
That's right!
Su Yang just wanted to sell some manpower to those MCN Companies!
There is only the thief who strikes for a thousand days, not the one who guards against thieves for a thousand days.
Even if Su Yang had a Golden Finger system, he couldn't be doing prevention every day, right?
Since they wanted to come to Spark Media to "stock up," Su Yang didn't mind fulfilling their wishes.
And by the way, make a wave of quick money and earn more in liquidated damages!
He just needed to do his best to stabilize those signed internet celebrities he truly valued!
This was also beneficial for those internet celebrities whom Su Yang treated as "goods."
First of all, their "market value" had been raised by Su Yang.
The MCN Companies that poached them would also provide them with generous compensation and abundant promotional resources!
Their potential ceiling might not be high, but with resources poured into them, they could definitely make a small profit!
Those MCN Companies wouldn't necessarily lose out either.
After all, the internet celebrities Su Yang used as "goods" all had some skills.
At least they looked relatively promising!
It was just that these "goods," if they stayed at Spark Media, couldn't surpass one million fans within a year.
That didn't mean they were truly worthless!
Perhaps if they went to those MCN Companies with market values in the hundreds of millions, and resources were poured heavily onto them, they could also achieve one million fans!
Otherwise, those MCN Companies weren't idiots.
If Su Yang randomly signed some random old man or woman, they would definitely be wary and not dare to take action!
Therefore, the "goods" Su Yang picked out were all those seemingly decent prospects!
After all, whether an internet celebrity can become popular is somewhat metaphysical.
Even MCN Companies with market values of hundreds of millions couldn't see through it!
So, if Su Yang's plan went smoothly, those internet celebrities treated as "goods" by him would profit.
Su Yang's Spark Media would also be able to earn a sum of quick money, and he would also be able to fulfill his rivals' wishes!
The only ones with a high probability of suffering losses were those MCN Companies that poached the internet celebrities signed to Spark Media.
If they really treated the signed internet celebrities they poached from Su Yang as "high-potential" internet celebrities and cultivated them, pouring resources into them crazily... they had a high probability of losing money until they doubted life itself!
Also, Su Yang's "reputation" might suffer!
Ahem... he actually misjudged them!
But that certainly didn't matter; what was a little reputation like that?
Su Yang felt that money was more practical!
Besides, those people weren't recommended to them by Su Yang; they poached them themselves!
Thinking of this, Su Yang sighed again with a little helplessness: "So... in the end, I've become an unscrupulous MCN boss, relying on the liquidated damages of internet celebrity streamers to make a living?"
Then, he couldn't help but laugh!
After laughing, he began the screening work!
He wanted to screen out an optimal combination.
Trying his best to let those poaching MCN Companies take away all the "goods" he had prepared!
This work was actually quite complex and required Su Yang to perform repeated deductions!
At the same time, he also had Hongyu Law Firm send over an experienced professional lawyer who specialized in commercial contract disputes to re-examine and draft a contract for signed internet celebrities, aiming to make the liquidated damages as high as possible.
When six o'clock in the afternoon arrived, and employees without work arrangements had left, Jiang Yuzhen knocked on Su Yang's office door: "Boss, it's time to get off work!"
"You go ahead and leave!" Su Yang said, looking up, "I still have some things to finish!"
Jiang Yuzhen looked at Su Yang in surprise; she rarely saw the boss working overtime.
Especially working overtime in the office!
