Chapter 136: Chapter 136 This Boss is Different_1
"We can use this opportunity to warn the other live streamers."
"If Song Qianqian wants to switch guilds, we can make some trouble in the contract, create some entanglement, hold her up a bit."
"Stall her for a few months, not terminate her contract, nor let her live stream, just like a film company freezing out an actor."
"Internet celebrities need to show their faces; if she disappears for a few months, she’s finished."
"Even with six million followers, in a few months, not many will be left, and when she reappears, people will have forgotten about her."
Wang Jingpeng pondered for a moment, then voiced his method of dealing with the issue.
One has to admit, the strategy was ruthless enough to ruin the career of a popular live streamer!
Actually, this isn’t considered ruthless; in this circle, it’s a standard operation.
Many guilds do this to prevent live streamers they’ve nurtured from switching allegiances.
There are examples of this on Lanshou.
A popular live streamer suddenly vanished out of the blue, nobody knew where they went, they just stopped appearing.
After a few months, when they showed up again, everything had changed.
The live streamer once in the limelight had become a peripheral figure, only to leave the circle in frustration.
I’ve never seen a live streamer who’s been through this kind of ordeal manage to make a comeback.
"Mr. Wang, I agree that we cannot compromise on what you said; otherwise, other live streamers will definitely follow suit, thinking that by expressing a desire to switch guilds, they can increase their share of the profits, and everyone would be willing to do it."
"However, I feel your other methods are somewhat inappropriate."
"If Song Qianqian wants to switch guilds, let her pay the penalty, and we’ll terminate her contract, but let’s not hold her up."
"Using the tactic of making an example out of someone might indeed deter other live streamers, but it may also make them feel the company is heartless."
"Our company’s growth should fear no one; if someone wants to leave, we can’t keep them against their will."
"It’s the ones who choose to stay with us who we truly need."
"I believe that such a company is what the employees truly need as well."
Shen Dong shared his thoughts.
"Mr. Shen, listening to you is better than reading ten years’ worth of books," Mr. Wang couldn’t help but exclaim after hearing Shen Dong’s words.
His own vision was still too narrow; this was what having a grand vision looked like.
It was a mindset like Shen Dong’s that truly defined someone capable of great things.
He felt fortunate to be working under a boss like Shen Dong.
In the professional world, following the right person is crucial.
"Mr. Wang, you have been doing very well," Shen Dong encouraged him.
"Mr. Shen, did you know Wansheng Venture Capital has invested in Huya Guild, becoming its largest shareholder, with Liu Chao managing the Huya Guild as the representative?" Wang Jingpeng asked.
"I didn’t know," Shen Dong shook his head.
He couldn’t care less about what Liu Chao was up to; that kind of person wasn’t worth his attention.
"The poaching must have been Liu Chao’s doing," Wang Jingpeng added.
"No matter, if he can poach them, that’s a skill in its own right," Shen Dong said indifferently.
He took out his phone, opened the live streamer group chat, and posted a notice.
Shen Dong @everyone: Mr. Wang mentioned to me that other guilds have approached you with offers, and while it’s natural to be tempted, regarding this issue, I would like to say a few words. Our company firmly upholds the interests of live streamers and addresses issues from their perspective. For those wanting to switch guilds, we feel sorry but will not obstruct. Simply apply one month in advance, and upon completion of that period, we’ll end our collaboration amicably. After all, it has been a pleasure working together, and we wish those who leave for other guilds all the best in their future endeavors.
Everyone was stunned by this announcement.
The news of Song Qianqian’s resignation was known to all.
Initially, everyone thought the company wouldn’t easily let Song Qianqian leave.
After all, with over six million followers, she was making a lot of money for the company every day.
The company would certainly try everything to keep Song Qianqian.
And if they couldn’t keep her, after Song Qianqian had paid the penalty, they would try to ruin her still.
They had heard that many guilds had ruthless tactics for dealing with popular live streamers who wanted to switch guilds.
Those tactics were enough to ruin a popular live-streamer.
Unexpectedly, the company let go so readily.
If a host wanted to switch affiliations, there was no obstruction.
This made all the hosts realize, this boss was different from other guild leaders.
A guild that respected and protected the rights of its hosts was exactly what they wanted.
After all, if the company treated departing employees so well, they treated their current employees even better.
The boss held a meeting today, handed out year-end bonuses, offered additional rewards, and increased the wages for overtime during the holiday, which fully proved this point.
They had never heard of any guild treating its transferring employees this well.
Transferring to another guild could potentially mean losing one’s freedom.
By comparison, it was still better to stay at Dongyan Guild.
Invisibly, Shen Dong’s announcement had increased the hosts’ sense of identity with the guild.
The loyalty and sense of belonging the hosts felt towards the guild had strengthened.
Those hosts who hadn’t outright rejected the overtures from other guilds unanimously took out their phones and responded.
Without exception, they all rejected the olive branches extended by other guilds.
Song Qianqian’s face turned somewhat ugly when she saw the announcement.
She knew that the guild had not agreed to increase her share.
"You forced my hand."
Song Qianqian gritted her teeth.
Actually, she didn’t want to leave the guild.
After all, she had only over three million fans when she joined the guild, and within two months, thanks to the customized video shoots and singing repertoire provided by the guild, she had gained another three million fans—an excellent achievement.
In other guilds, such a thought wouldn’t even be entertained.
But as her fan base grew, she became somewhat arrogant, feeling she deserved more.
She felt that it was only fair to want a little more, to change the split from thirty-seventy to forty-sixty.
Song Qianqian pulled out her phone and dialed a number: "Mr. Liu, as long as you help me pay the five million penalty fee, I am willing to join your guild."
Obviously, the penalty fee was to be paid by the other party, not by her.
During previous talks, the other party had agreed to pay three million, and she was supposed to cover two million.
Because she would earn a higher share ratio in the other guild, she could quickly recoup the two million, so she was willing to pay.
But now, Song Qianqian felt that the other party should pay the entire penalty fee.
"Miss Song, I can pay the five million penalty fee, but I need you to do something for me," Mr. Liu said with a laugh.
"What do you need me to do?" Song Qianqian asked.
"Something beneficial for both of us, let’s talk on WeChat," Mr. Liu replied.
...
Lunar December 28th.
Only two days left until the New Year.
Today was the day to go home.
Shen Dong woke up and prepared to get out of bed.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Rewarding host with god-level hacking skills!]
Instantly, Shen Dong’s mind was filled with an abundance of hacking knowledge, making him a god-level hacker.
Shen Dong’s eyes lit up.
This technology was of great use.
It was known that many things could be solved with this skill.
