82: Chapter 82: Xinghuo Media Settles in the MCN Industrial Park!

After paying the deposit to Julong Headhunting, Jiang Zilin placed thirteen talent profiles for an MCN Company in front of Su Yang in just two days.

These talents were almost all locals, and all had experience working in an MCN Company.

After layers of screening, Su Yang found a candidate for the position of General Manager.

Yu Siying, thirty-five years old, was married and had a son and a daughter.

She possessed expert-level management and operational capabilities for an MCN Company, as well as expert-level skills in training live-streaming sales hosts.

Her first impression on Su Yang was that she was elegant and dressed fashionably.

She had previously worked in operations on the Douyin platform and was very familiar with Douyin's recommendation algorithms.

After Yu Siying graduated, she applied for and became the head of the local Baiyang Studio in Rongcheng.

Over three years, she developed Baiyang Studio into Baiyang Media, one of the top ten in Rongcheng.

However, she was dissatisfied with her current annual salary and benefits, and after a fierce conflict with the boss of Baiyang Media, she developed the intention to jump ship.

As long as their capabilities were sufficient, Su Yang would not be stingy with his employees.

Therefore, in his view, Yu Siying's reason for leaving was nothing significant.

After all, one is just a wage earner!

If not for money, what else could it be for?

Could it be for the sake of dedication?

More importantly, Yu Siying's comprehensive capabilities were among the strongest.

Her ability to train live-streaming sales hosts, along with her industry connections, were also what Su Yang valued most.

Besides this, she also promised that as long as Su Yang's funding was sufficient.

She could use her connections to help the company poach several well-trained, excellent live-streaming sales hosts, as well as internet celebrities with good potential, and could also find relatively stable suppliers and advertisers.

The annual salary she wanted was also very "sincere"; she wanted an annual salary of 700,000 and a 5% dividend.

Su Yang used his Business Deduction skill slightly on Yu Siying.

All he could say was that this woman had very strong methods.

Even without him intervening, Yu Siying could still build the company up.

Her promises were not just bragging; she was truly capable of poaching people and was especially ruthless toward her former employer!

Running into this woman, he could consider it a lucky find!

The other two were named Cheng Jinhua and Ye Hongwei.

Cheng Jinhua was skilled in content creation and the incubation of internet celebrities; he was currently unemployed.

Ye Hongwei was quite skilled in operations and promotion, but was having a rough time at his media company.

These three were all talents possessing one or two expert-level skills, and working together would go very smoothly.

At least according to Su Yang's Business Deduction skill, they would work together with good synergy.

Su Yang slightly displayed his financial strength and indicated that funds were abundant, stating he would invest no less than 20 million.

Coupled with the promised high salaries, Yu Siying, Cheng Jinhua, and Ye Hongwei naturally had no reason to refuse.

Mainly because there were not many choices for the three of them.

The competition among MCN Companies in the industry was fierce, and high-paying positions suitable for them were pitifully few.

Unless they were willing to start their own business and become bosses themselves!

In the following time, Cheng Jinhua, who was unemployed, was pulled by Su Yang to select a location for the company and helped register Spark Media.

The leasing of the office space went very smoothly.

Like many large cities in the country, Rongcheng had clear policy support for MCN institutions.

Rongcheng's first brand-new internet industrial park, which aggregated MCN institutions and provided a centralized space for self-media creators to work, create, and operate industrially, was located in Kongming District.

If an MCN Company developed well, it could receive rent subsidies, renovation subsidies, and various incentive bonuses.

After successfully registering Spark Media, Su Yang first signed a contract with Cheng Jinhua, and then heard the familiar system notification sound:

[Ding~ You now own an MCN Company and have your first employee. You have received an achievement reward: Affinity Talent, 1 Charisma point; the MCN under your name can receive a permanent buff.]

[1. Fan Attraction Boost, 2. Content Quality Boost, 3. Propagation Effect Boost, 4. Promotion Effect Boost, 5. Influencer Attraction Boost... Please choose!]

[Note: You have unlocked the special Charisma attribute column.]

Charisma?

Su Yang hadn't expected to unlock such a new attribute.

He glanced at his personal attribute panel, and indeed, a Charisma attribute had appeared.

His current Charisma attribute was 14 points, which was 4 points higher than average.

Casually adding his Charisma to 15 points, he didn't pay it any more mind.

He didn't value Charisma very much; after all, money could also increase Charisma.

Su Yang looked again at the newly acquired Affinity Talent.

It could increase Su Yang's personal affinity, making it easier for him to gain favor with others.

Su Yang felt this talent was pretty good, at least it would be easier to gain favor from employees.

Subsequently, he turned his attention to the special buff for Spark Media.

Without much thought, he decided to choose Fan Attraction Boost.

Regardless of anything else, the foundation of an MCN Company was still the individual internet celebrity influencers.

[Ding~ The Spark Media under your name has received a permanent buff: +15% Fan Attraction Boost.]

After moving into the MCN Industrial Park, Cheng Jinhua found renovation workers to carry out simple decoration and layout for the new company.

Not long after, Yu Siying and Ye Hongwei joined the new company one after another.

Yu Siying served as the company's General Manager, receiving an annual salary of 700,000 and 5% in dry shares.

Cheng Jinhua and Ye Hongwei served as Deputy General Managers, receiving an annual salary of 500,000 and 3% in dry shares.

These dry shares also only granted dividend rights and could not be resold.

After leaving the company, the shares would be reclaimed by the company; they could only be considered a benefit!

Receiving dividends was also equivalent to helping Su Yang pay taxes to the state.

After signing, Yu Siying smiled and said, "Boss, I will not let you down!"

Su Yang smiled and said, "I look forward to it!"

Yu Siying found her boss quite agreeable.

Her previous boss was not only stingy with employees.

But also particularly liked to hit on the female internet celebrities under him!

When the business was just starting, the previous boss still listened to her.

Even if he was lecherous, he would maintain a certain degree of restraint.

He wouldn't use any despicable methods on those women, nor would he interfere with company operations!

As long as the methods were not despicable and did not affect the company's development, Yu Siying would just pretend she didn't see it.

She would just honestly be a wage earner!

After all, it was a matter of mutual consent, and she couldn't say anything.

However, as Baiyang gradually grew and expanded, her previous boss began to get carried away, and even demanded that the company use limited resources to cultivate the women who pleased him.

This was something Yu Siying really couldn't tolerate!

Internet celebrity work seemed to have a very low threshold, but it was actually an industry with a very high elimination rate.

Among a batch of newcomers, it was normal for 99.9% to be eliminated.

Some people were like resource black holes; no matter how much they were supported, they couldn't become famous!

Just like some celebrities in the entertainment industry who had explosive resources but just couldn't get famous no matter what.

Those who needed to rely on pleasing the previous boss to obtain resources were precisely the ones with relatively mediocre abilities.

Their innate conditions and abilities were just there; they had already reached their limit.

Investing more resources into them would only cause the company losses!

For those with outstanding abilities and innate audience appeal, she would definitely prioritize resources for them!

She felt that since Su Yang already looked like that, he shouldn't need to rely on company resources to attract women!

In the following time, Yu Siying, Ye Hongwei, and Cheng Jinhua started purchasing equipment while also beginning to recruit people.

After receiving Su Yang's salary promise, this woman, Yu Siying, directly took ruthless action against her former employer, Baiyang Media, poaching more than thirty employees from them.

She also brought five small internet celebrities with around 100,000 to 200,000 fans, as well as one of Baiyang Media's pillars, Dai Jiaying, who had one million fans, to Spark Media.

The five small internet celebrities and Dai Jiaying had all terminated their contracts with the Baiyang company beforehand and had even taken back their accounts!

The contract termination fee for each small internet celebrity was 20,000, and Dai Jiaying's contract termination fee was 100,000.

This price was simply charity!
